Company and certain affiliates of Holdings, pursuant to which both the Company

                  "Leverage Ratio" means, as to any Person, the ratio of (i) the
aggregate outstanding amount of Indebtedness of such Person and its Restricted
Subsidiaries as of the date of calculation on a consolidated basis in accordance
with GAAP plus the aggregate liquidation preference of all Disqualified Capital
Stock of such Person and of all outstanding Preferred Stock of Restricted
Subsidiaries of such Person (other than any such Disqualified Capital Stock or
Preferred Stock held by such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) to
(ii) the Consolidated Cash Flow of such Person for the four full fiscal quarters
(the "Four Quarter Period") ending on or prior to the date of determination.

                  For purposes of this definition, the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Indebtedness of the Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries
for which such calculation is made shall be determined on a pro forma basis as
if the Indebtedness giving rise to the need to perform such calculation had been
incurred and the proceeds therefrom had been applied, and all other transactions
in respect of which such Indebtedness is being incurred has occurred, on the
last day of the Four Quarter Period. In addition to the foregoing, for purposes
of this definition, "Consolidated Cash Flow" shall be calculated on a pro forma
basis after giving effect to (i) the Transactions, (ii) the incurrence of the
Indebtedness of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries (and the application
of the proceeds therefrom) giving rise to the need to make such calculation and
any incurrence (and the application of the proceeds therefrom) or repayment of
other Indebtedness, other than the incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness
pursuant to working capital facilities, at any time subsequent to the beginning

such incurrence (and the application of the proceeds thereof), or the repayment,
as the case may be, occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period, (iii)
any Asset Sales (including those excluded from the definition thereof by clause
(b), (c) or (d) of the definition thereof) or Asset Acquisitions (including,
without limitation, any Asset Acquisition giving rise to the need to make such
calculation as a result of such Person or one of its Subsidiaries (including any
Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset
Acquisition) incurring, assuming or otherwise becoming liable for Indebtedness)
or Asset Swaps at any time on or subsequent to the first day of the Four Quarter
Period and on or prior to the date of determination, as if such Asset Sale,
Asset Acquisition (including the incurrence, assumption or liability for any
such Indebtedness and also including any Consolidated Cash Flow associated with
such Asset Acquisition) or Asset Swap occurred on the first day of the Four
Quarter Period and (iv) cost savings resulting from employee termination,
facilities consolidations and closings, standardization of employee benefits and
compensation practices, consolidation of property, casualty and other insurance
coverage and policies, standardization of sales representation commissions and
other contract rates, and reductions in taxes other than income taxes
(collectively, "Cost Savings Measures"), which cost savings the Company
reasonably believes in good faith could have been achieved during the Four
Quarter Period as a result of such Asset Acquisition or Asset Swap (regardless
of whether such cost savings could then be reflected in pro forma financial
statements under GAAP, Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission or any other
regulation or policy of the Commission), less the amount of any additional
expenses that the Company reasonably estimates would result from anticipated
replacement of any items constituting Cost Savings Measures in connection with
such Asset Acquisition or Asset Swap; provided, however, that both (A) such cost
savings and Cost Savings Measures were identified and such cost savings were
quantified in an officer's certificate delivered to the Trustee at the time of
the consummation of the Asset Acquisition or Asset Swap and (B) with respect to
each Asset Acquisition or Asset Swap completed prior to the 90th day preceding
such date of determination, actions were commenced or initiated by the Company
within 90 days of such Asset Acquisition or Asset Swap to effect the Cost
Savings Measures identified in such officer's certificate (regardless, however,
of whether the corresponding cost savings have been achieved). Furthermore, in
calculating "Consolidated Interest Expense" for purposes of the calculation of
"Consolidated Cash Flow," (i) interest on Indebtedness determined on a
fluctuating basis as of the date of determination (including Indebtedness
actually incurred on the date of the transaction giving rise to the

<PAGE>

                                      -10-

need to calculate the Leverage Ratio) and which will continue to be so
determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum
equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness as in effect on the date of
determination and (ii) notwithstanding (i) above, interest determined on a
fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by Interest Swap
Agreements, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after
giving effect to the operation of such agreements.

insurance premiums, appraisers fees and costs reasonably incurred in preparation
of any asset or property for sale), (ii) taxes paid or reasonably estimated to
be payable (calculated based on the combined state, federal and foreign

engaged in such Asset Sale), (iii) all distributions and other payments required
to be made to any Person owning a beneficial interest in the assets subject to
sale or minority interest holders in Subsidiaries or joint ventures as a result
of such Asset Sale and (iv) any reserves established in accordance with GAAP for
adjustment in respect of the sales price of the asset or assets subject to such
Asset Sale or for any liabilities associated with such Asset Sale and (v)
repayment of Indebtedness secured by assets subject to such Asset Sale;
provided, however, that if the instrument or agreement governing such Asset Sale
requires the transferor to maintain a portion of the purchase price in escrow
(whether as a reserve for adjustment of the purchase price or otherwise) or to
indemnify the transferee for specified liabilities in a maximum specified
amount, the portion of the cash or Cash Equivalents that is actually placed in
escrow or segregated and set aside by the transferor for such indemnification
obligation shall not be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds until the escrow

escrow to the transferor or that are no longer segregated and set aside by the

designation and an Officers' Certificate certifying that such designation
complies with the foregoing conditions.

                                 THE SECURITIES

SECTION 2.01.           Form and Dating.

                  The Initial Securities and the Trustee's certificate of
authentication thereof shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto,
which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The
Exchange Securities and the Trustee's certificate of authentication thereof
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, which is hereby
incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Securities may
have notations, legends or endorsements (including the Subsidiary Guarantee)
required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. The Company and the Trustee shall
approve the form of the Securities and any notation, legend or endorsement
(including the Guarantee) on them. Each Security shall be dated the date of its
issuance and shall show the date of its authentication.

                  Securities offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A and
Securities offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued
initially in the form of one or more Global Securities, substantially in the
form set

<PAGE>

                                      -18-

forth in Exhibit A hereto, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the
Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as
hereinafter provided and shall bear the legend set forth in Exhibit C hereto.
The aggregate principal amount of the Global Securities may from time to time be
increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as
custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

SECTION 2.02.           Execution and Authentication.

                  One or more Officers shall sign (each of whom shall, in each
case, have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) the
Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

                  If an Officer whose signature is on a Security or a Guarantee,
as the case may be, was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer
holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security or
Guarantee, as the case may be, the Security or Guarantee, as the case may be,
shall be valid nevertheless.

                  A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of
the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security.
The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been
authenticated under this Indenture.

                  The Trustee shall authenticate (i) Initial Securities for
original issue in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200,000,000, (ii)
Private Exchange Securities from time to time only in exchange for a like
principal amount of Initial Securities and (iii) Unrestricted Securities from
time to time only in exchange for (A) a like principal amount of Initial
Securities or (B) a like principal amount of Private Exchange Securities, in
each case upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers'
Certificate. Each such written order shall specify the amount of Securities to
be authenticated and the date on which the Securities are to be authenticated,
whether the Securities are to be Initial Securities, Private Exchange Securities
or Unrestricted Securities and whether the Securities are to be issued as
Physical Securities or Global Securities and such other information as the
Trustee may reasonably request. Additional Securities may be issued in
accordance with Section 2.17. Any such order shall specify the amount of the
Additional Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original
issue of Additional Securities is to be authenticated and, in the case of an
issuance of Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.17 after the Issue Date,
shall certify that such issuance will not be prohibited by Section 4.04.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Securities issued under
this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any
of such Securities may vote or consent) as one class and no series of Securities
will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

                  The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably
acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. Unless otherwise provided
in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever
the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent shall
have the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company and Affiliates of the
Company.

                  The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 2.03.           Registrar and Paying Agent.

                  The Company shall maintain an office or agency, which may be
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where (a) Securities may be
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (the
"Registrar"), (b) Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment (the
"Paying Agent") and (c) notices and demands in respect of the Securities and
this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the
Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company, upon notice to the
Trustee, may appoint one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying
Agents. The term "Paying Agent" includes any additional Paying Agent. Except as
provided herein, the Company may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

                  The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement
with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the
provisions of the TIA. 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 fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as
such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with
Section 8.07.

                  The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and
Paying Agent until such time as the Trustee has resigned or a successor has been
appointed.

SECTION 2.04.           Paying Agent To Hold Assets in Trust.

                  The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the
Trustee to agree in writing that each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the
payment of principal of, or interest on, the Securities, and shall notify the
Trustee of any Default by the Company 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, 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 (if other than the Company), the Paying Agent shall have no further
liability for such assets. If the Company or any of their Affiliates acts as
Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of or
interest on the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal or interest so
becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed
of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
failure so to act.

SECTION 2.05.           Holder 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 Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee before each Interest Record Date and at such other times
as the Trustee may request in writing a list as of such date and in such form as
the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, which
list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee.

SECTION 2.06.           Transfer and Exchange.

                  Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16, when
Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to
register the transfer of such Securities or to exchange such Securities for an
equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations of the
same series, the Registrar or

<PAGE>

                                      -20-

co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if
its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the
Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers
and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
Securities at the Registrar's or co-Registrar's written request. No service
charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such
transfer taxes or other governmental charge payable upon exchanges or transfers
pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.10, 3.06, or 10.05). The Registrar or co-Registrar
shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Security (i)
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing
of a notice of redemption of Securities and ending at the close of business on
the day of such mailing and (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part
pursuant to Article Three hereof, except the unredeemed portion of any Security
being redeemed in part.

                  Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as
provided herein, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent of the Company shall
treat the person in whose name the Security is registered as the owner thereof
for all purposes whether or not the Security shall be overdue, and none of the
Company, the Trustee nor any such Agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. Any consent, waiver or actions of a Holder shall be binding upon any
subsequent Holders of such Security or a Security received upon transfer. Any
Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall, by acceptance of
such beneficial interest in a Global Security, agree that transfers of
beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a
book-entry system maintained by the Depository (or its agent), and that
ownership of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be required to be
reflected in a book entry.

SECTION 2.07.           Replacement Securities.

                  If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if
the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or
wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a
replacement Security if the Trustee's requirements for replacement of Securities
are met. If required by the Company or the Trustee, such Holder must provide an
indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of the Company and
the Trustee, to protect the Company, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss
which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge
such Holder for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Security,
including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel.

                  Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the
Company.

SECTION 2.08.           Outstanding Securities.

                  Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities that
have been authenticated by the Trustee except those canceled by it, those
delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not
outstanding. Subject to Section 2.09, a Security does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or any Affiliates of the Company holds the
Security.

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

<PAGE>

                                      -21-

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

SECTION 2.09.           Treasury Securities.

                  In determining whether the Holders of the required principal
amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Securities owned by the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective
Affiliates 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 Securities that a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows
are so owned shall be disregarded.

                  The Company shall notify the Trustee, in writing, when the
Company or any of its respective Affiliates repurchases or otherwise acquires
Securities, of the aggregate principal amount of such Securities so repurchased
or otherwise acquired.

SECTION 2.10.           Temporary Securities.

                  Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the
Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon
receipt of a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers'
Certificate. The Officers' Certificate shall specify the amount of temporary
Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Securities
are to be authenticated.

                  Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of
definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company
shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of a written order
of the Company pursuant to Section 2.02 definitive Securities in exchange for
temporary Securities.

SECTION 2.11.           Cancellation.

                  The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee
for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the
Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment.
The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying
Agent, and no one else, shall cancel, and at the written direction of the
Company, dispose of and deliver evidence of such disposal of all Securities
surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. Subject to Section
2.07, the Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that they
have paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company shall
acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a
redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation
pursuant to this Section 2.11.

SECTION 2.12.           Defaulted Interest.

                  The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal from time
to time on demand at the rate of interest then borne by the Securities. The
Company shall, to the extent lawful, pay interest on overdue installments of
interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on
demand at the rate of interest then borne by the Securities.

<PAGE>

                                      -22-

                  If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the
Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any
interest payable on the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a
subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day 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 subsequent special record date, the Company shall mail to each
Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the subsequent special
record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest
payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid
prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.01(a) shall
be paid to Holders as of the Interest Record Date for the Interest Payment Date
for which interest has not been paid.

SECTION 2.13.           CUSIP Number.

                  The Company in issuing the Securities will use a "CUSIP"
number and the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption or
exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of
the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Securities, and that reliance
may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any changes in
CUSIP numbers.

SECTION 2.14.           Deposit of Moneys.

                  Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date, and the Final Maturity Date, the Company shall
deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to
make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date
or Final Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the
Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or Final Maturity Date, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.15.           Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities.

                  (a) The Global Securities initially shall (i) be registered in
the name of the Depository or the nominee of such Depository, (ii) be delivered
to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear legends as set
forth in Exhibit C.

                  Members of, or participants in, the Depository
("Participants") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any
Global Security held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its
custodian, or under the Global Security, 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 the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the
Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any
written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository
or impair, as between the Depository and Participants, the operation of
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any
Security.

                  (b) Transfers of Global Securities shall be limited to
transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their
respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Securities may
be transferred or exchanged for Physical Securities in accordance with the rules
and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.16; provided,
however, that Physical Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners
in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Securities only if (i) the
Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depository for any Global Security and a

<PAGE>

                                      -23-

successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such
notice or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Registrar has received a request from the Depository to issue Physical
Securities.

                  (c) In connection with the transfer of Global Securities as an
entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.15,
the Global Securities shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon written
instructions from the Company authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner
identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in the
Global Securities, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities of
authorized denominations.

                  (d) Any Physical Security constituting a Restricted Security
delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Security pursuant to paragraph
(c) of this Section 2.15 shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.16,
bear the Private Placement Legend.

                  (e) The Holder of any Global Security may grant proxies and
otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold
interests through Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to
take under this Indenture or the Securities.

SECTION 2.16.           Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.

                  (a) Transfer and Exchange of Physical Securities. When
Physical Securities are presented to the Registrar or co-Registrar with a
request:

                      (i)      to register the transfer of the Physical
         Securities; or

                      (ii)     to exchange such Physical Securities for an equal
         principal amount of Physical Securities of other authorized
         denominations,

the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange
as requested if the requirements under this Indenture as set forth in this
Section 2.16 for such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Physical
Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange:

                  (I)      shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
         instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar or
         co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
         authorized in writing; and

                  (II)     in the case of Physical Securities the offer and sale
         of which have not been registered under the Securities Act, such
         Physical Securities shall be accompanied, in the sole discretion of the
         Company, by the following additional information and documents, as
         applicable:

                  (A)      if such Physical Security is being delivered to the
                           Registrar or co-Registrar by a Holder for
                           registration in the name of such Holder, without
                           transfer, a certification from such Holder to that
                           effect (substantially in the form of Exhibit D
                           hereto); or

                  (B)      if such Physical Security is being transferred to a
                           QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, a certification to
                           that effect (substantially in the form of Exhibit D
                           hereto); or

                                      -24-

                  (C)      if such Physical Security is being transferred to an
                           Institutional Accredited Investor, delivery of a
                           certification to that effect (substantially in the
                           form of Exhibit D hereto) and a transferee letter of
                           representation (substantially in the form of Exhibit

                           S transfers (substantially in the form of Exhibit F
                           hereto) and, at the option of the Company, an Opinion

                           the Securities Act; or

                  (F)      if such Physical Security is being transferred in
                           reliance on another exemption from the registration

                  (b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Physical Security for a
Beneficial Interest in a Global Security. A Physical Security the offer and sale
of which has not been registered under the Securities Act may not be exchanged
for a beneficial interest in a Global Security except upon satisfaction of the
requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Registrar or co-Registrar of a
Physical Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar or co-Registrar, together with:

                  (A)      certification, substantially in the form of Exhibit D
                           hereto, that such Physical Security is being
                           transferred (I) to a QIB, (II) to an Institutional
                           Accredited Investor or (III) in an offshore
                           transaction in reliance on Regulation S and, with
                           respect to (II) or (III), at the option of the
                           Company, an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable
                           to the Company to the effect that such transfer is in
                           compliance with the Securities Act; and

                  (B)      written instructions directing the Registrar or
                           co-Registrar to make, or to direct the Depository to
                           make, an endorsement on the applicable Global
                           Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate
                           amount of the Securities represented by the Global
                           Security,

then the Registrar or co-Registrar shall cancel such Physical Security and
cause, or direct the Depository to cause, in accordance with the standing
instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Registrar or
co-Registrar, the principal amount of Securities represented by the applicable
Global Security to be increased accordingly. If no 144A Global Security, IAI
Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as the case may be, is then
outstanding, the Company shall, unless either of the events in the proviso to
Section 2.15(b) have occurred and are continuing, issue and the Trustee shall,
upon written instructions from the Company in accordance with Section 2.02,
authenticate such a Global Security in the appropriate principal amount.

                                      -25-

                  (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. The transfer
and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be
effected through the Depository in accordance with this Indenture (including the
restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depository
therefor. Upon receipt by the Registrar or Co-Registrar of written instructions,
or such other instruction as is customary for the Depository, from the
Depository or its nominee, requesting the registration of transfer of an
interest in a 144A Global Security, an IAI Global Security or a Regulation S
Global Security, as the case may be, to another type of Global Security,
together with the applicable Global Securities (or, if the applicable type of
Global Security required to represent the interest as requested to be obtained
is not then outstanding, only the Global Security representing the interest
being transferred), the Registrar or Co-Registrar shall reflect on its books and
records (and the applicable Global Security) the applicable increase and
decrease of the principal amount of Securities represented by such types of
Global Securities, giving effect to such transfer. If the applicable type of
Global Security required to represent the interest as requested to be obtained
is not outstanding at the time of such request, the Company shall issue and the
Trustee shall, upon written instructions from the Company in accordance with
Section 2.02, authenticate a new Global Security of such type in principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the interest requested to be
transferred.

                  (d) Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security for
a Physical Security.

                      (i)      Any Person having a beneficial interest in a
Global Security may upon request exchange such beneficial interest for a
Physical Security; provided, however, that prior to the Registration, a
transferee that is a QIB or Institutional Accredited Investor may not exchange a
beneficial interest in Global Security for a Physical Security. Upon receipt by
the Registrar or co-Registrar of written instructions, or such other form of
instructions as is customary for the Depository, from the Depository or its
nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in a Global
Security and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written order or such other form
of instructions as is customary for the Depository or the Person designated by
the Depository as having such a beneficial interest containing registration
instructions and, in the case of any such transfer or exchange of a beneficial
interest in Securities the offer and sale of which have not been registered
under the Securities Act, the following additional information and documents:

                  (A)      if such beneficial interest is being transferred in
                           reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
                           delivery of a certification to that effect
                           (substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto) and,
                           at the option of the Company, an Opinion of Counsel
                           reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect
                           that such transfer is in compliance with the
                           Securities Act; or

                  (B)      if such beneficial interest is being transferred in
                           reliance on another exemption from the registration
                           requirements of the Securities Act, a certification
                           to that effect (substantially in the form of Exhibit
                           D hereto) and, at the option of the Company, an
                           Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
                           Company to the effect that such transfer is in
                           compliance with the Securities Act,

then the Registrar or co-Registrar will cause, in accordance with the standing
instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Registrar or
co-Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Security
to be reduced and, following such reduction, the Company will execute and, upon
receipt of an authentication order in the form of an Officers' Certificate in
accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the
transferee a Physical Security in the appropriate principal amount.

                      (ii)     Securities issued in exchange for a beneficial
interest in a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.16(d) shall be
registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository,

<PAGE>

                                      -26-

pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise,
shall instruct the Registrar or co-Registrar in writing. The Registrar or
co-Registrar shall deliver such Physical Securities to the Persons in whose
names such Physical Securities are so registered.

                  (e) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global
Securities. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, a Global
Security may not be transferred as a whole except 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.

                  (f) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or
replacement of Securities not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the
Registrar or co-Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear the Private
Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities
bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall
deliver only Securities that bear the Private Placement Legend unless, and the
Trustee is hereby authorized to deliver Securities without the Private Placement
Legend if, (i) there is delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that
neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in
order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act; (ii)
such Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act (including pursuant to a Registration); or (iii) the
date of such transfer, exchange or replacement is two years after the later of
(x) the Issue Date and (y) the last date that the Company or any affiliate (as
defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company was the owner of
such Securities (or any predecessor thereto).

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

                  The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any
interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Participants
or beneficial owners of interest in any Global Security) other than to require
delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are
expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms
of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance
as to form with the express requirements hereof.

                  The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and
other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.15 or this Section
2.16. 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.

SECTION 2.17.           Issuance of Additional Securities.

                  The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Securities
under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Securities issued
on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price
and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto
(and, if such Additional Securities shall be issued in the form of Exchange
Securities, other than with respect to transfer restrictions); provided that
such issuance is not prohibited by Section 4.04. The Initial Securities issued
on the Issue Date, any Additional Securities and all Exchange Securities or
Private Exchange Securities issued in exchange therefor shall be treated as a
single class for all purposes under this Indenture.

                                      -27-

                  With respect to any Additional Securities, the Company shall
set forth in a Board Resolution and in an Officers' Certificate, a copy of each
of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

                  (1)      the aggregate principal amount of such Additional
         Securities to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this
         Indenture;

                  (2)      the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number
         of such Additional Securities and the amount of interest payable on the
         first payment date applicable thereto; and

                  (3)      whether such Additional Securities shall be
         Restricted Securities and issued in the form of Initial Securities or
         shall be registered securities issued in the form of Unrestricted
         Securities.

                                  ARTICLE THREE

                                   REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.01.           Notices to Trustee.

                  If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to
paragraph 5 of the Securities at the applicable redemption price set forth
thereon, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date and the
principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give such
notice to the Trustee at least 45 days before the Redemption Date (unless a
shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee in writing), together with an
Officers' Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the
conditions contained herein.

SECTION 3.02.           Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed.

                  If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed pursuant
to paragraph 5 of the Securities, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the national securities
exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or, in the absence of such
requirements or if the Securities are not then listed on a national securities
exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in such other manner as may be required
pursuant to this Indenture or otherwise as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate. Selection of the Securities to be redeemed pursuant to paragraph
5(b) of the Securities shall be made by the Trustee only on a pro rata basis or
on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the procedures of
the Depository) based on the aggregate principal amount of Securities held by
each Holder. The Trustee shall make the selection from the Securities then
outstanding, subject to redemption and not previously called for redemption.

                  The Trustee may select for redemption pursuant to paragraph 5
of the Securities portions of the principal amount of Securities that have
denominations equal to or larger than $1,000 principal amount. Securities and
portions of them the Trustee so selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 principal
amount or integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to
Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for
redemption.

SECTION 3.03.           Notice of Redemption.

                  At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption
Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each
Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at such Holder's registered address;
provided, however, that notice of a redemption pursuant to paragraph 5(b) of the
Securities shall be mailed to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed no
later than 60 days after the date of the closing of the relevant Equity Offering
of the Company.

                  Each notice of redemption shall identify the Securities to be
redeemed (including the CUSIP number thereon) and shall state:

                  (1)      the Redemption Date;

                  (2)      the redemption price;

                  (3)      the name and address of the Paying Agent to which the
         Securities are to be surrendered for redemption;

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

                  (5)      that, as long as the Company has deposited with the
         Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price
         pursuant to this Indenture, interest on Securities called for
         redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and the
         only remaining right of the Holders is to receive payment of the
         redemption price upon surrender to the Paying Agent;

                  (6)      in the case of any redemption pursuant to paragraph 5
         of the Securities, if any Security is being redeemed in part, the
         portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and
         that, after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, a new
         Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed
         portion thereof will be issued;

                  (7)      the subparagraph of the Securities pursuant to which
         such redemption is being made; and

                  (8)      that no representation is made as to the accuracy of
         the CUSIP number listed in such notice or printed on such Security.

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

SECTION 3.04.           Effect of Notice of Redemption.

                  Once a notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for
redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the redemption
price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the
redemption price, plus accrued interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date,
but interest installments whose maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date
shall be payable to the Holders of record at the close of business on the
relevant Interest Record Date.

SECTION 3.05.           Deposit of Redemption Price.

                  At least one Business Day before the Redemption Date, the
Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company is its own Paying
Agent, it shall, on or before the Redemption Date, segregate and hold in trust)
money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on
all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions
thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the
Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

                  If any Security surrendered for redemption in the manner
provided in the Securities shall not be so paid on the Redemption Date due to
the failure of the Company to deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to
pay the redemption price thereof, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, thereon shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest as
provided in Sections 2.12 and 4.01 with respect to any payment default.

SECTION 3.06.           Securities Redeemed in Part.

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

SECTION 4.01.           Payment of Securities.

                  The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on the
Securities in the manner provided in the Securities and the Registration Rights
Agreement. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on
the date due if the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or any
Affiliates of the Company) holds on that date money designated for and
sufficient to pay the installment in full and is not prohibited from paying such
money to the Holders of the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

                  The Company shall pay cash interest on overdue principal at
the same rate per annum borne by the Securities. The Company shall pay cash
interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate per annum borne by
the Securities, to the extent lawful, as provided in Section 2.12.

SECTION 4.02.           Maintenance of Office or Agency.

                  The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
the location, and any change in the location, of any office or agency required
by Section 2.03. 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 set forth in Section 13. The Company hereby
initially designates the Trustee at its address set forth in Section 13.02 as
its office or agency in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such
purposes.

SECTION 4.03.           Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to
exist any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease,
contribution or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with
or for the benefit of any of its Affiliates (other than transactions between the
Company and a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or among Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Company) (an "Affiliate Transaction"), other than Affiliate
Transactions on terms that are no less favorable than those that might
reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction on an arm's-length
basis from a person that is not an Affiliate; provided, however, that for a
transaction or series of related transactions involving value of $5,000,000 or
more, such determination shall be made in good faith by a majority of members of
the Board of Directors of the Company and by a majority of the disinterested
members of the Board of Directors of the Company, if any; provided, further,
that for a transaction or series of related transactions involving value of
$15,000,000 or more, the Board of Directors of the Company has received an
opinion from an independent investment banking firm of nationally recognized
standing that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial point of
view, to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary. The foregoing restrictions
shall not apply to (1) reasonable and customary directors' fees, indemnification
and similar arrangements and payments thereunder; (2) any obligations of the
Company under any employment agreement, noncompetition or confidentiality
agreement with any officer of the Company, as in effect on the Issue Date
(provided that each amendment of any of the foregoing agreements shall be
subject to the limitations of this covenant); (3) any Restricted Payment
permitted to be made pursuant Section 4.10; (4) any issuance of securities, or
other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to,
or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership
plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; (5) loans or advances
to employees in the ordinary course of business of the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries consistent with past practices; and (6) payments by the
Company to Hicks Muse Partners in accordance with the terms of the Financial
Advisory Agreement.

SECTION 4.04.           Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and
                        Issuance of Capital Stock.

                  (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or
otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (other than
Permitted Indebtedness) and the Company shall not issue any Disqualified Capital
Stock and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not issue any Preferred Stock
(except Preferred Stock issued to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company so long as it is so held); provided, however, that the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors may incur Indebtedness or issue
shares of such Capital Stock if, in either case, the Company's Leverage Ratio at
the time of incurrence of such Indebtedness or the issuance of such Capital
Stock, as the case may be, after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or
issuance as of such date and to the use of proceeds therefrom is less than 7.0
to 1.

                  (b) The Company shall not incur or suffer to exist, or permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to incur or suffer to exist, any Obligations
with respect to an Unrestricted Subsidiary that would violate the provisions set
forth in the definition of Unrestricted Subsidiary.

SECTION 4.05.           Limitation on Layering.

                  The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness if such
Indebtedness is subordinate or junior in ranking in any respect to any Senior
Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is Senior Subordinated Indebtedness or is
contractually subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness (including the Securities).

SECTION 4.06.           Payments for Consents.

                  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 Securities for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions
of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be
paid or is paid to all Holders of the Securities that consent, waive or agree to
amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such
consent, waiver or agreement.

SECTION 4.07.           Limitation on Investment Company Status.

                  The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not take any action, or
otherwise permit to exist any circumstance, that would require the Company to
register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.

SECTION 4.08.           Limitation on Asset Sales.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless (i) the Company or
the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration
at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the
assets sold or otherwise disposed of (as determined in good faith by management
of the Company or, if such Asset Sale involves consideration in excess of
$10,000,000, by the board of directors of the Company, as evidenced by a board
resolution), (ii) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale is in the
form of cash or Cash Equivalents and is received at the time of such disposition
and (iii) upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company applies, or causes
such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, such Net Cash Proceeds within 360 days of
receipt thereof either (A) to repay any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or
any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (and, to the extent
such Senior Indebtedness relates to principal under a revolving credit or
similar facility, to obtain a corresponding reduction in the commitments
thereunder, except that the Company may temporarily repay Senior Indebtedness
using the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale and thereafter use such funds
to reinvest pursuant to clause (B) below within the period set forth therein
without having to obtain a corresponding reduction in the commitments
thereunder), (B) to reinvest, or to be contractually committed to reinvest
pursuant to a binding agreement, in Productive Assets and, in the latter case,
to have so reinvested within 540 days of the date of receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds or (C) to purchase Securities and other Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness, pro rata tendered to the Company for purchase at a price equal to
100% of the principal amount thereof (or the accreted value of such other Senior
Subordinated Indebtedness, if such other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness is
issued at a discount) plus accrued interest thereon, if any, to the date of
purchase pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company as set forth below
(a "Net Proceeds Offer"); provided, however, that the Company may defer making a
Net Proceeds Offer until the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales not
otherwise applied in accordance with this covenant equal or exceed $15,000,000.

                  Subject to the deferral right set forth in the final proviso
of the preceding paragraph, each notice of a Net Proceeds Offer shall be mailed,
by first-class mail, to Holders not more than 360 days after the relevant Asset
Sale or, in the event the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary has entered into a
binding agreement as provided in (B) above, within 360 days following the
termination of such agreement but in no event later than 540 days after the
relevant Asset Sale. Such notice shall specify, among other things, the purchase
date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 45 days from the
date such notice is mailed, except as otherwise required by law) and shall
otherwise comply with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. Upon receiving
notice of the Net Proceeds Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Securities
in whole or in part in integral

<PAGE>

                                      -32-

multiples of $1,000. To the extent Holders properly tender Securities in an
amount which, together with all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness so
tendered, exceeds the Net Proceeds Offer, Securities and other Senior
Subordinated Indebtedness of tendering Holders shall be repurchased on a pro
rata basis (based upon the aggregate principal amount tendered, or, if
applicable, the aggregate accreted value tendered). To the extent that the
aggregate principal amount of Securities tendered pursuant to any Net Proceeds
Offer, which, together with the aggregate principal amount or aggregate accreted
value, as the case may be, of all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness so
tendered, is less than the amount of Net Cash Proceeds subject to such Net
Proceeds Offer, the Company may use any remaining portion of such Net Cash
Proceeds not required to fund the repurchase of tendered Securities and other
Senior Subordinated Indebtedness for any purposes not otherwise prohibited by
this Indenture. Upon the consummation of any Net Proceeds Offer, the amount of
Net Cash Proceeds subject to any future Net Proceeds Offer from the Asset Sales
giving rise to such Net Cash Proceeds shall be deemed to be zero.

                  The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act to the extent applicable in connection with the
repurchase of Securities pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer.

SECTION 4.09.           Limitation on Asset Swaps.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, engage in any Asset Swap unless: (i) at the time of entering into
such Asset Swap, and immediately after giving effect to such Asset Swap, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) in the
event such Asset Swap involves an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000, the
terms of such Asset Swap have been approved by a majority of the members of the
Board of Directors of the Company and (iii) in the event such Asset Swap
involves an aggregate amount in excess of $50,000,000, the Company has received
a written opinion from an independent investment banking firm of nationally
recognized standing that such Asset Swap is fair to the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view.

SECTION 4.10.           Limitation on Restricted Payments.

                  (a) The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted
Payment if at the time of such Restricted Payment and immediately after giving
effect thereto:

                    (i)  a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
         be continuing; or

                    (ii) the Company is not able to incur $1.00 of additional
         Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) in compliance with
         Section 4.04; or

                    (iii) the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made
         subsequent to June 1, 2001 (the amount expended for such purposes, if
         other than in cash, being the fair market value of such property as
         determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith)
         exceeds the sum of (a)(x) 100% of the aggregate Consolidated Cash Flow
         of the Company (or, in the event such Consolidated Cash Flow shall be a
         deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) accrued subsequent to June 1, 2001
         to the most recent date for which financial information is available to
         the Company, taken as one accounting period, less (y) 1.4 times
         Consolidated Interest Expense for the same period, plus (b) 100% of the
         aggregate net proceeds, including the fair market value of property
         other than cash as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company
         in good faith, received subsequent to June 1, 2001 by the Company from
         any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) from the
         issuance and sale subsequent to June 1, 2001 of Qualified Capital Stock
         of the Company (excluding (i) any net proceeds from issuances and sales
         financed directly or indirectly using funds borrowed from the Company
         or any Restricted

<PAGE>

                                      -33-

         Subsidiary of the Company, until and to the extent such borrowing is
         repaid, but including the proceeds from the issuance and sale of any
         securities convertible into or exchangeable for Qualified Capital Stock
         to the extent such securities are so converted or exchanged and
         including any additional proceeds received by the Company upon such
         conversion or exchange and (ii) any net proceeds received from
         issuances and sales that are used to consummate a transaction described
         in clause (2) of paragraph (b) below), plus (c) without duplication of
         any amount included in clause (iii)(b) above, 100% of the aggregate net
         proceeds, including the fair market value of property other than cash
         (valued as provided in clause (iii)(b) above), received by the Company
         as a capital contribution subsequent to June 1, 2001, plus (d) the
         amount equal to the net reduction in Investments (other than Permitted
         Investments) made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
         in any Person resulting from, and without duplication, (i) repurchases
         or redemptions of such Investments by such Person, proceeds realized
         upon the sale of such Investment to an unaffiliated purchaser and
         repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of assets by such
         Person to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or
         (ii) the redesignation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted
         Subsidiaries (valued in each case as provided in the definition of
         "Investment") not to exceed, in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary,
         the amount of Investments previously made by the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries in such Unrestricted Subsidiary, which amount
         was included in the calculation of Restricted Payments; provided,
         however, that no amount shall be included under this clause (d) to the
         extent it is already included in Consolidated Cash Flow, plus (e) the
         aggregate net cash proceeds received by a Person in consideration for
         the issuance of such Person's Capital Stock (other than Disqualified
         Capital Stock) that are held by such Person at the time such Person is
         merged with and into the Company in accordance with Section 5.01
         subsequent to June 1, 2001; provided, however, that concurrently with
         or immediately following such merger the Company uses an amount equal
         to such net cash proceeds to redeem or repurchase the Company's Capital
         Stock, plus (f) $15,000,000.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions will not
prohibit: (1) the payment of any dividend or the making of any distribution
within 60 days after the date of its declaration if such dividend or
distribution would have been permitted on the date of declaration; (2) the
purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement of any Capital Stock of
the Company or any warrants, options or other rights to acquire shares of any
class of such Capital Stock either (x) solely in exchange for shares of
Qualified Capital Stock or other rights to acquire Qualified Capital Stock or
(y) through the application of the net proceeds of a substantially concurrent
sale for cash (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of shares
of Qualified Capital Stock or warrants, options or other rights to acquire
Qualified Capital Stock or (z) in the case of Disqualified Capital Stock, solely
in exchange for, or through the application of the net proceeds of a
substantially concurrent sale for cash (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company) of, Disqualified Capital Stock; (3) payments made pursuant to any
merger, consolidation or sale of assets effected in accordance with Section
5.01; provided, however, that no such payment may be made pursuant to this
clause (3) unless, after giving effect to such transaction (and the incurrence
of any Indebtedness in connection therewith and the use of the proceeds
thereof), the Company would be able to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
(other than Permitted Indebtedness) in compliance with Section 4.04 such that
after incurring that $1.00 of additional Indebtedness, the Leverage Ratio would
be less than 6.0 to 1; (4) payments to enable LIN TV to pay dividends on its
Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) in an annual amount not to
exceed $21,770,000; (5) payments by the Company to fund the payment by any
company as to which the Company is, directly or indirectly, a Subsidiary (a
"Holding Company") of audit, accounting, legal or other similar expenses, to pay
franchise or other similar taxes and to pay other corporate overhead expenses,
so long as such dividends are paid as and when needed by its respective direct
or indirect Holding Company and so long as the aggregate amount of payments
pursuant to this clause (5) does not exceed $1,000,000 in any calendar year; (6)
payments by the Company to repurchase, or to enable a Holding Company to
repurchase, Capital Stock or other securities from employees of the Company or a
Holding

<PAGE>

                                      -34-

Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000 since June 1, 2001; (7)
payments by the Company to redeem or repurchase, or to enable a Holding Company

or a Holding Company with respect to its Capital Stock in an aggregate amount
not to exceed $500,000 since June 1, 2001; (8) payments, not to exceed $200,000
in the aggregate since June 1, 2001, to enable the Company or a Holding Company
to make cash payments to holders of its Capital Stock in lieu of the issuance of
fractional shares of its Capital Stock; (9) payments by the Company to fund
taxes of a Holding Company for a given taxable year in an amount equal to the
Company's "separate return liability," as if the Company were the parent of a
consolidated group (for purposes of this clause (9) "separate return liability"
for a given taxable year shall mean the hypothetical United States tax liability
of the Company defined as if the Company had filed its own U.S. federal tax
return for such taxable year); and (10) payments by the Company to Hicks Muse
Partners in accordance with the terms of the Financial Advisory Agreement;
provided, however, that in the case of clauses (3), (4), (6), (7) and (8), no
Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing at the time of such
payment or as a result thereof. In determining the aggregate amount of
Restricted Payments made subsequent to June 1, 2001, amounts expended pursuant
to clauses (1), (4), (6), (7) and (8) shall be included in such calculation.

SECTION 4.11.           Notice of Defaults.

                  (a) In the event that any Indebtedness of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries is declared due and payable before its maturity because of
the occurrence of any default (or any event which, with notice or lapse of time,
or both, would constitute such a default) under such Indebtedness, the Company
shall promptly give written notice to the Trustee of such declaration, the
status of such default or event and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto.

                  (b) Upon becoming aware of the occurrence and continuation of
any Default or Event of Default, the Company shall promptly deliver an Officers'
Certificate to the Trustee specifying the Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 4.12.           Reports.

                  So long as any of the Securities are outstanding, the Company
shall provide to the Trustee and the Holders and file with the Commission, to
the extent such submissions are accepted for filing by the Commission, copies of
the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports that the
Company would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section
13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, regardless of whether the Company is then
obligated to file such reports.

SECTION 4.13.           Limitations on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions
                        Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to
permit to exist or become effective, by operation of the charter of such
Restricted Subsidiary or by reason of any agreement, instrument, judgment,
decree, rule, order, statute or governmental regulation, any encumbrance or
restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends or
make any other distributions on its Capital Stock; (b) make loans or advances or
pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries; or (c) transfer any of its property or assets to the
Company, except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by
reason of: (1) applicable law; (2) this Indenture; (3) customary nonassignment
provisions of any lease governing a leasehold interest of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary; (4) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness or
Acquired Preferred Stock, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to
any Person, or

<PAGE>

                                      -35-

the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property
or assets of the Person, so acquired; (5) agreements existing on the Issue Date
(including the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes) as such agreements are
from time to time in effect; provided, however, that any amendments or
modifications of such agreements that affect the encumbrances or restrictions
of the types subject to this covenant shall not result in such encumbrances or
restrictions being less favorable to the Company in any material respect, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, than the
provisions as in effect before giving effect to the respective amendment or
modification; (6) any restriction with respect to such a Restricted Subsidiary
imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of
all or substantially all the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted
Subsidiary pending the closing of such sale or disposition; (7) an agreement
effecting a refinancing, replacement or substitution of Indebtedness issued,
assumed or incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (2), (4) or
(5) above or any other agreement evidencing Indebtedness permitted under this
Indenture; provided, however, that the provisions relating to such encumbrance
or restriction contained in any such refinancing, replacement or substitution
agreement or any such other agreement are no less favorable to the Company in
any material respect as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Company than the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction
contained in agreements referred to in such clause (2), (4) or (5); (8)
restrictions on the transfer of the assets subject to any Lien imposed by the
holder of such Lien; (9) a licensing agreement to the extent such restrictions
or encumbrances limit the transfer of property subject to such licensing
agreement; (10) restrictions relating to Subsidiary Preferred Stock that
require that due and payable dividends thereon to be paid in full prior to
dividends on such Subsidiary's common stock; or (11) any agreement or charter
provision evidencing Indebtedness or Capital Stock permitted under this
Indenture; provided, however, that the provisions relating to such encumbrance
or restriction contained in such agreement or charter provision are not less
favorable to the Company in any material respect as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company than the provisions relating to such
encumbrance or restriction contained in this Indenture.

SECTION 4.14.           Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries.

                  (a) The Company shall not create or acquire, nor cause or
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to create or
acquire, any Subsidiary other than (1) an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance
with the other terms of this Indenture or (2) a Restricted Subsidiary that
either (i) simultaneously with such creation or acquisition, (x) executes and
delivers to the Trustee a supplemental indenture to this Indenture pursuant to
which it will become a Guarantor in accordance with Article Eleven hereof and
(y) delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental
indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted
Subsidiary and constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such
Restricted Subsidiary (which opinion may be subject to customary assumptions and
qualifications), or (ii) does not satisfy the definition of Subsidiary
Guarantor.

                  (b) Any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is redesignated as a
Restricted Subsidiary shall upon such redesignation be required to become a
Guarantor in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.14(a)(2).

SECTION 4.15.           Change of Control.

                  (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder
shall have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of
such Holder's Securities in cash pursuant to the offer described below (the
"Change of Control Offer"), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
purchase.

                  (b) Prior to the mailing of the notice referred to below, but
in any event within 30 days following the date on which the Company becomes
aware that a Change of Control has occurred (the "Change of

<PAGE>

                                      -36-

Control Date"), the Company covenants that if the purchase of the Securities
would violate or constitute a default under any other Indebtedness of the
Company, then the Company shall, to the extent needed to permit such purchase of
Securities, either (i) repay all such Indebtedness and terminate all commitments
outstanding thereunder or (ii) obtain the requisite consents, if any, under any
such Indebtedness to permit the purchase of the Securities as provided below.
The Company shall first comply with the covenant in the preceding sentence
before it will be required to make the Change of Control Offer or purchase the
Securities pursuant to the provisions described below.

                  (c) Within 30 days following the date on which the Company
becomes aware that a Change of Control has occurred, the Company shall send, by
first class mail, postage prepaid, a notice to each Holder, which notice shall
govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. The notice to the Holders shall
contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to
tender Securities pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall
state:

                  (1)      that the Change of Control Offer is being made
         pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Securities validly tendered
         and not withdrawn will be accepted for payment;

                  (2)      the purchase price (including the amount of accrued
         interest, if any) and the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than
         30 days nor later than 45 days from the date such notice is mailed,
         other than as may be required by law) (the "Change of Control Payment
         Date");

                  (3)      that any Security not tendered will continue to
         accrue interest;

                  (4)      that, unless the Company defaults in making payment
         therefor, any Security accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of
         Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of
         Control Payment Date;

                  (5)      that Holders electing to have a Security purchased
         pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the
         Security, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase"
         on the reverse of the Security completed, to the Paying Agent and
         Registrar for the Securities at the address specified in the notice
         prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Change
         of Control Payment Date;

                  (6)      that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their
         election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than five Business
         Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex,
         facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder,
         the principal amount of the Securities the Holder delivered for
         purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election
         to have such Security purchased;

                  (7)      that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in
         part shall be issued new Securities in a principal amount equal to the
         unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered; provided, however,
         that each Security purchased and each new Security issued shall be in a
         principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; and

                  (8)      the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such
         Change of Control.

                  (d) On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the
Company shall (i) accept for payment Securities or portions thereof (in integral
multiples of $1,000) validly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer,
(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 2.14 cash in U.S.
dollars or

United States Government Obligations sufficient to pay the purchase price plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, of all Securities so tendered and (iii)
deliver to the Trustee Securities so accepted together with an Officers'
Certificate stating the Securities or portions thereof being purchased by the
Company. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the monies specified in clause (ii)
above and a copy of the Officers' Certificate specified in clause (iii) above,
the Paying Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of Securities so accepted
payment in an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, out of the funds deposited with the Paying Agent in accordance
with the preceding sentence. The Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to
such Holders new Securities equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion
of the Securities surrendered. Upon the payment of the purchase price for the
Securities accepted for purchase, the Trustee shall return the Securities
purchased to the Company for cancellation. Any monies remaining after the
purchase of Securities pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be returned
within three Business Days by the Trustee to the Company except with respect to
monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article Eight. For
purposes of this Section 4.15, the Trustee shall, except with respect to monies
owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article Eight, act as the Paying
Agent.

                  (e) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule
14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection
with the purchase of the Securities pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To
the extent the provisions of any such rule conflict with the provisions of this
Indenture relating to a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall comply with
the provisions of such rule and be deemed not to have breached its obligations
relating to such Change of Control Offer by virtue thereof.

                  (f) Paragraphs (a)-(e) of this Section 4.15 notwithstanding,
the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if, instead,
the Company elects to effect a Change of Control Redemption in compliance with
the requirements listed on the Securities in Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereof.

                  (g) Paragraphs (a)-(f) notwithstanding, the Company shall not
be required to make a Change of Control Offer or a Change of Control Redemption
in the event of (i) changes in a majority of the board of directors of the
Company or LIN TV so long as a majority of such board of directors continues to
consist of Continuing Directors and (ii) certain transactions with Permitted
Holders (including Hicks Muse, its officers and directors, and their respective
Affiliates).

SECTION 4.16.           Limitation on Liens.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume
any Lien securing Indebtedness on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or
any income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income
or profit therefrom, unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is
made, in the case of the Company, to secure the Securities and all other amounts
due under this Indenture, and in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary which is a
Guarantor, to secure such Restricted Subsidiary's Guarantee of the Securities
and all other amounts due under this Indenture, equally and ratably with such
Indebtedness (or, in the event that such Indebtedness is subordinated in right
of payment to the Securities or such Subsidiary's Guarantee, prior to such
Indebtedness) with a Lien on the same properties and assets securing such
Indebtedness for so long as such Indebtedness is secured by such Lien, except
for (i) Liens securing Senior Indebtedness and Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and
(ii) Liens securing Indebtedness described in clause (xi) of the definition of
"Permitted Indebtedness"; provided that such Liens cover only the property
referred to in such definition.

SECTION 4.17.           Compliance Certificate.

                  The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after
the close of each fiscal year a certificate signed by the principal executive
officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer stating
that a review of the activities of the Company has been made under the
supervision of the signing officer with a view to determining whether a Default
or Event of Default has occurred and whether or not the signers know of any
Default or Event of Default by the Company that occurred during such fiscal
year. If they do know of such a Default or Event of Default, their status and
the action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The
first certificate to be delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.17
shall be for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003.

SECTION 4.18.           Corporate Existence.

                  Subject to Article Five, the Company shall do or shall cause
to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect
its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership or other existence of
each Subsidiary in accordance with the respective organizational documents of
each such Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory) and material
franchises of the Company and the Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise, or the
corporate existence of any Subsidiary, if the Board of Directors of the Company
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;
provided, further, however, that a determination of the Board of Directors of
the Company shall not be required in the event of a merger of one or more
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company with or into another Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company or another Person, if the surviving Person is a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company organized under the laws of the United
States or a State thereof or of the District of Columbia. This Section 4.18
shall not prohibit the Company from taking any other action otherwise permitted
by, and made in accordance with, the provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 4.19.           Maintenance of Properties and Insurance.

                  (a) The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, maintain its material properties in normal condition (subject
to ordinary wear and tear) and make all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals
or replacements thereto as in the judgment of the Company may be reasonably
necessary to the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.19 shall prevent
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from discontinuing the
operation and maintenance of any of its properties, if such properties are, in
the reasonable and good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company
or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, no longer reasonably necessary
in the conduct of their respective businesses.

                  (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 reasonably adequate and appropriate for
the conduct of the business of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries.

SECTION 4.20.           Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

                  The Company shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes,
assessments and governmental charges (including withholding taxes and any
penalties, interest and additions to taxes) levied or imposed upon it or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries or properties of it or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries and (ii) all material lawful claims for labor, materials,

<PAGE>

                                      -39-

supplies and services that, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the
property of it or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that
there shall not be required to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment or
charge, the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate provision has been
made or where the failure to effect such payment or discharge is not adverse in
any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 4.21.           Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

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

of related transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell,
assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
of the Company's assets determined on a consolidated basis for the Company to
another Person or adopt a plan of liquidation unless (i) either (1) the Company
is the surviving Person or (2) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by

Company substantially as an entirety or in the case of a plan of liquidation,
the Person to which assets of the Company have been transferred, shall be a
corporation, partnership, limited liability company or trust organized and
existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the
District of Columbia; (ii) such surviving person shall assume all of the
obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture pursuant to a
supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; (iii)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the use of the proceeds
therefrom (on a pro forma basis, including giving effect to any Indebtedness
incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with such transaction), (x)
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) the
Company (in the case of clause (1) of the foregoing clause (i)) or such Person
(in the case of clause (2) of the foregoing clause (i)) shall be able to incur
$1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) in
compliance with Section 4.04; and (iv) the Company has delivered to the Trustee
prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or
transfer complies with this Indenture and that all conditions precedent in this
Indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

                  (b) For purposes of the foregoing subsection (a), the transfer

transactions) of all or substantially all the properties and assets of one or
more Restricted Subsidiaries, the Capital Stock or assets of which constitutes
all or substantially all the

<PAGE>

                                      -40-

properties and assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all
or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company.

                  (c) Notwithstanding clauses (ii) and (iii) in paragraph (a)
above, (1) any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may consolidate with, merge
into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Company and (2)
the Company may merge with an Affiliate thereof incorporated solely for the
purpose of reorganizing the Company in another jurisdiction in the U.S. to
realize tax or other benefits.

SECTION 5.02.           Successor Corporation Substituted.

                  In the event of any transaction (other than a lease) described
in and complying with the conditions listed in Section 5.01 in which the Company
is not the surviving person and the surviving person is to assume all the
Obligations of the Company under the Securities, this Indenture and the
Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture, such
surviving person shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of the Company, and the Company shall be discharged from
its Obligations under this Indenture, the Securities and the Registration Rights
Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE SIX

                              DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.01.           Events of Default.

                  Each of the following shall be an "Event of Default" for
purposes of this Indenture:

                  (a) the failure to pay interest on any Security when the same
         becomes due and payable and the Default continues for a period of 30
         days (whether or not such payment is prohibited by Article Seven);

                  (b) the failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, on any
         Security when such principal or premium, if any, becomes due and
         payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (whether or not such
         payment is prohibited by Article Seven);

                  (c) a default in the observance or performance of any other
         covenant or agreement contained in the Securities or this Indenture,
         which default continues for a period of 30 days after the Company
         receives written notice thereof specifying the default from the Trustee
         or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding
         Securities;

                  (d) the failure to pay at the final stated maturity (giving
         effect to any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any
         Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the
         Company, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such
         Indebtedness, if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness,
         together with the aggregate principal amount of any other such
         Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at the final
         stated maturity (giving effect to any extensions thereof) or which has
         been accelerated, aggregates $10,000,000 or more at any time in each
         case after a 10-day period during which such default shall not have
         been cured or such acceleration rescinded;

                  (e) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of
         $15,000,000 (which are not covered by insurance as to which the insurer
         has not disclaimed coverage) being rendered against the

<PAGE>

                                      -41-

         Company or any of its Significant Restricted Subsidiaries and such
         judgment or judgments remain undischarged or unstayed for a period of
         60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and
         nonappealable;

                  (f) the Company or any of its Significant Restricted
         Subsidiaries (or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken
         together would constitute a Significant Restricted Subsidiary) pursuant
         to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: (i) admits in writing
         its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (ii)
         commences a voluntary case or proceeding; (iii) consents to the entry
         of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;
         (iv) consents or acquiesces in the institution of a bankruptcy or
         insolvency proceeding against it; (v) consents to the appointment of a
         Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or
         (vi) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
         any of them takes any action to authorize or effect any of the
         foregoing;

                  (g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or
         decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (i) is for relief against the
         Company or any Significant Restricted Subsidiary (or one or more
         Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together would constitute a
         Significant Restricted Subsidiary) of the Company in an involuntary
         case or proceeding; (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any
         Significant Restricted Subsidiary (or one or more Restricted
         Subsidiaries that, taken together would constitute a Significant
         Restricted Subsidiary) of the Company for all or substantially all of
         its property; or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any
         Significant Restricted Subsidiary (or one or more Restricted
         Subsidiaries that, taken together would constitute a Significant
         Restricted Subsidiary) of the Company; and in each case the order or
         decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; provided, however,
         that if the entry of such order or decree is appealed and dismissed on
         appeal, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason of the entry of
         such order or decree shall be deemed to have been cured; or

                  (h) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Guarantee shall
         be held in a judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or
         shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any
         Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny
         or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee.

SECTION 6.02.           Acceleration.

                  If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities (other
than an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01) occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may, or the Trustee upon the request of Holders
of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities shall, or the Holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may
declare the principal of all the Securities, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest and premium, if any, to be due and payable by notice in writing
to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and
that it is a "notice of acceleration" (the "Acceleration Notice"), and the same
(i) shall become immediately due and payable or (ii) if there are any amounts
outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities, will become due and payable upon
the first to occur of an acceleration under the Senior Credit Facilities or five
Business Days after receipt by the Company and the agent under the Senior Credit
Facilities of such Acceleration Notice (unless all Events of Default specified
in such Acceleration Notice have been cured or waived).

                  If an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of
Section 6.01 occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on all
outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

<PAGE>

                                      -42-

                  At any time after such declaration with respect to the
Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities then
outstanding (by notice to the Trustee) may rescind and cancel such declaration
and its consequences if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment
or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) all existing Defaults and
Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal of or
interest on the Securities that has become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful,
interest (at the same rate specified in the Securities) on overdue installments
of interest and overdue payments of principal, which has become due otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration has been paid, (iv) the Company has
paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances and (v) in the event of the cure
or waiver of a Default or Event of Default of the type described in clause (f)
or (g) of Section 6.01, the Trustee has received an Officers' Certificate and
Opinion of Counsel that such Default or Event of Default has been cured or
waived. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may
waive any existing Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, and its
consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on
any Securities. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair
any right consequent thereto.

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 interest on the Securities or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

                  The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.
A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or
remedy maturing 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 Default.

                  Subject to Sections 2.09, 6.07 and 10.02, prior to the
declaration of acceleration of the Securities, the Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities by written
notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences, except a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any
Security as specified in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 6.01 or a Default in
respect of any term or provision of this Indenture that may not be amended or
modified without the consent of each Holder affected as provided in Section
10.02. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating
that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and
attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver, the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder and under the Securities, respectively. This paragraph of this Section
6.04 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section
316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the
Securities, as permitted by the TIA.

                  Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be
deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred
for every purpose of this Indenture and the Securities, but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.05.           Control by Majority.

                  Subject to Section 2.09, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities 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 it. However, the Trustee may refuse
to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the
Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder, it
being understood that the Trustee shall have no duty (subject to Section 8.01)
to ascertain whether or not such actions or forebearances are unduly prejudicial
to such Holders, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability;
provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. In the event the
Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture,
the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole
discretion against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or following
such direction. This Section 6.05 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(A) of
the TIA, and such Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded
from this Indenture and the Securities, as permitted by the TIA.

SECTION 6.06.           Limitation on Suits.

                  A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Securities unless:

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

                    (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
         amount of the outstanding Securities make a written request to the
         Trustee to pursue a remedy;

                    (iii) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested,
         provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
         any loss, liability or expense;

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

                    (v)  during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in
         principal amount of the outstanding Securities do not give the Trustee
         a direction which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with
         the request.

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

SECTION 6.07.           Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the
right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of or interest on a
Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, or to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.08.           Collection Suit by Trustee.

                  If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest
specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the
Company or any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount of principal
and accrued interest

<PAGE>

                                      -44-

remaining unpaid, together with interest overdue on principal and to the extent
that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of
interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by the Securities and such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.09.           Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

                  The Trustee 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
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or its 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, and any
Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder
to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the
Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders,
vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and may be
a member of the creditors' committee.

SECTION 6.10.           Priorities.

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

                  First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 8.07;

                  Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the
          Securities for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or
          priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the
          Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

                  Third: to the Company.

                  The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix
a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders 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 and expenses, 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 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee,
a suit by a Holder or group of Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder
for the

<PAGE>

                                      -45-

enforcement or the payment of the principal or interest on any Securities on or
after the respective due dates expressed in the Security.

                                  ARTICLE SEVEN

                           SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 7.01.           Agreement To Subordinate.

                  The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting any Security
agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is subordinated in
right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article
Seven, to the payment when due of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company and
that such subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of
Senior Indebtedness. The Securities shall in all respects rank pari passu with
all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company, and only Indebtedness
of the Company which is Senior Indebtedness will rank senior to the Securities
in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. Unsecured Indebtedness is
not deemed to be subordinate or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it
is unsecured, nor is any Indebtedness deemed to be subordinate or junior to
other Indebtedness merely because it matures after such other Indebtedness.
Secured Indebtedness is not deemed to be Senior Indebtedness merely because it
is secured. All provisions of this Article Seven shall be subject to Section
7.12.

SECTION 7.02.           Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.

                  Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company
upon a total or partial liquidation or dissolution or reorganization or
bankruptcy of or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property:

                  (1)      holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall
         be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of
         all Senior Indebtedness of the Company before holders of Securities
         shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal of or interest on
         or other amounts with respect to the Securities from the Company; and

                  (2)      until the Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid
         in full, in cash or Cash Equivalents, any payment or distribution to
         which Holders would be entitled but for the provisions of this Article
         Seven shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness as their
         interests may appear.

SECTION 7.03.           Default on Senior Indebtedness.

                  The Company may not pay the principal of, premium (if any), or
interest on, and other obligations with respect to, the Securities or make any
deposit pursuant to Section 9.03 or repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire any
Securities (collectively, "pay the Securities") if (i) any Senior Indebtedness
is not paid when due or (ii) any other default on Senior Indebtedness occurs and
the maturity of such Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its
terms unless, in either case, (x) the default has been cured or waived or is no
longer continuing and/or any such acceleration has been rescinded or (y) such
Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full; provided, however, that the Company
may pay the Securities, subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, without
regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice
approving such payment from the Representatives of the Senior Indebtedness with
respect to which either of the events set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of this
sentence has occurred or is continuing. During the continuance of any default
(other than a

<PAGE>

                                      -46-

default described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence) with respect
to any Designated Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity thereof may
be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be
required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace
periods, the Company may not pay the Securities (except (i) in Qualified Capital
Stock issued by the Company to pay interest on the Securities or issued in
exchange for the Securities, (ii) in securities substantially identical to the
Securities issued by the Company in payment of interest accrued thereon or (iii)
in securities issued by the Company which are subordinated to the Senior
Indebtedness at least to the same extent as the Securities and having a Weighted
Average Life to Maturity at least equal to the remaining Weighted Average Life
to Maturity of the Securities) for a period (a "Payment Blockage Period")
commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to the Company) of
written notice (a "Blockage Notice") of such default from the Representative of
the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to
effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier if
such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by written notice to the Trustee
and the Company from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, (ii)
because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice has been cured, waived
or is no longer continuing or (iii) because such Designated Senior Indebtedness
has been repaid in full). Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence, but subject to the provisions of the first sentence of this
Section 7.03 and the provisions of Section 7.02, the Company may resume payments
on the Securities after the end of such Payment Blockage Period. Not more than
one Blockage Notice may be given, and not more than one Payment Blockage Period
may occur, in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of
defaults with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness during such period.
However, if any Blockage Notice within such 360-day period is given by or on
behalf of any holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness (other than the agent
under the Senior Credit Facilities), the agent under the Senior Credit
Facilities may give another Blockage Notice within such period. In no event,
however, may the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period
or Payment Blockage Periods are in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate
during any 360 consecutive day period. No nonpayment default that existed or was
continuing on the date of delivery of any Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall
be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Blockage Notice unless such default
shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive
days.

SECTION 7.04.           Acceleration of Payment of Securities.

                  If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an
Event of Default, the Company or the Trustee shall promptly notify the holders
of the Representative (if any) of any issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness
which is then outstanding; provided, however, that the Company and the Trustee
shall be obligated to notify such a Representative (other than with respect to
the Senior Credit Facilities) only if such Representative has delivered or
caused to be delivered an address for the service of such a notice to the
Company and the Trustee (and the Company and the Trustee shall be obligated only
to deliver the notice to the address so specified). If a notice is required
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company may not pay the
Securities (except payment (i) in Qualified Capital Stock issued by the Company
to pay interest on the Securities or issued in exchange for the Securities, (ii)
in securities substantially identical to the Securities issued by the Company in
payment of interest accrued thereon or (iii) securities issued by the Company
which are subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness at least to the same extent as
the Securities and have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at least equal to
the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Securities), until five
Business Days after the respective Representative of the Designated Senior
Indebtedness receives notice (at the address specified in the preceding
sentence) of such acceleration and thereafter may pay the Securities only if the
provisions of this Article Seven otherwise permit payment at that time.

SECTION 7.05.           When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

                  If a distribution is made to the Trustee or to Holders that
because of this Article Seven should not have been made to them, the Trustee or
the Holders who receive such distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of
Senior Indebtedness and promptly pay it over to them as their respective
interests may appear; provided, however, that the liabilities of the Trustee
under this Section 7.05 are limited by Section 7.15.

SECTION 7.06.           Subrogation.

                  After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the
Securities are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of
holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior
Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article Seven to holders of Senior
Indebtedness which otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between
the Company and the Holders, a payment by the Company of Senior Indebtedness.

SECTION 7.07.           Relative Rights.

                  This Article Seven defines the relative rights of Holders of
the Securities on the one hand and holders of Senior Indebtedness on the other
hand. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

                  (1)      impair, as between the Company and the Holders, the
         obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
         principal of and interest on the Securities in accordance with their
         terms; or

                  (2)      prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its
         available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the
         rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions
         otherwise payable to Holders.

SECTION 7.08.           Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.

                  No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the
subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired
by any act or failure to act by the Company or by the failure of the Company to
comply with this Indenture.

SECTION 7.09.           Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

                  Notwithstanding Section 7.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent may
continue to make payments on the Securities and shall not be charged with
knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such
payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such
payment, a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives notice satisfactory to it that
payments may not be made under this Article Seven. The Company, the Registrar or
co-registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior
Indebtedness may give the notice; provided, however, that if an issue of Senior
Indebtedness has a Representative, only the Representative may give the notice.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold
Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
The Registrar and co-registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like
rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article Seven with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be
held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior

<PAGE>

                                      -48-

Indebtedness; and nothing in Article Seven shall deprive the Trustee of any of
its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article Seven shall apply to claims
of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 8.07.

SECTION 7.10.           Distribution or Notice to Representative.

                  Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to
holders of Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice
given to their Representative (if any).

SECTION 7.11.           Article Seven Not To Prevent Events of Default or Limit
                        Right To Accelerate.

                  The failure to make a payment in respect of the Securities by
reason of any provision in this Article Seven shall not be construed as
preventing the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default. Nothing in this
Article Seven shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee
to accelerate the maturity of the Securities.

SECTION 7.12.           Trust Moneys Not Subordinated.

                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust
under Article Nine by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest
on the Securities shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior
Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article Seven, and
none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the
Company, any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, or any other creditor
of the Company.

SECTION 7.13.           Trustee Entitled To Rely.

                  Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article
Seven, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (i) upon any order
or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the
nature referred to in Section 7.02 are pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the
liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution
to the Trustee or to the Holders or (iii) upon the Representatives for the
holders of Senior Indebtedness for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons
entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of 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 Seven. In the event that the Trustee
determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right
of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment
or distribution pursuant to this Article Seven, the Trustee may request such
Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to
the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such
Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other
facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article Seven, and, if
such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person
pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such
payment. The Trustee shall have the right to seek a declaratory judgment as to
any right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections
8.01 and 8.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article Seven.

SECTION 7.14.           Trustee To Effectuate Subordination.

                  Each Holder by accepting a Security authorizes and directs the
Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the

<PAGE>

                                      -49-

Holder and the holders of Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article Seven
and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

SECTION 7.15.           Trustee Not Fiduciary for 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
if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the Company, or any
other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall
be entitled by virtue of this Article Seven or otherwise.

SECTION 7.16.           Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness on
                        Subordination Provisions.

                  Each Holder by accepting a Security acknowledges and agrees
that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an
inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness,
whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the
issuance of the Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to
hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be
deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring
and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.

                                  ARTICLE EIGHT

                                     TRUSTEE

SECTION 8.01.           Duties of Trustee.

                  (a) If a 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 their exercise as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

                  (b) Except during the continuance of a Default:

                  (1)      The Trustee shall not be liable except for the
         performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein; and

                  (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 conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided,
         however, that 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 examine such certificates and opinions to
         determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
         Indenture.

                  (c) The Trustee shall 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 8.01;

<PAGE>

                                      -50-

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

                  (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, 6.04 and 6.05.

                  (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 duties hereunder or to take or omit to take any
action under this Indenture or take any action at the request or direction of
Holders if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds is not assured to it or it does not receive from such Holders an indemnity
satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against such risk, liability, loss,
fee or expense which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction.

                  (e) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates
to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section
8.01.

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

SECTION 8.02.           Rights of Trustee.

                  Subject to Section 8.01:

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

                  (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
         require an Officers' Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, which
         shall conform to the provisions of Section 13.05. The Trustee shall not
         be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
         reliance on such certificate or opinion.

                  (c) The Trustee may act through attorneys and agents of its
         selection and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence
         of any agent or attorney (other than an agent who is an employee of the
         Trustee) appointed with due care and appointed with the consent of the
         Company.

                  (d) 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.

                  (e) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
         consult with counsel 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.

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

<PAGE>

                                      -51-

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

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

                  (i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any
         Event of Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual
         knowledge thereof or unless the Trustee shall have received written
         notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such
         notice references the Securities and this Indenture.

                  (j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or
         surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties
         hereunder.

                  (k) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things
         enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and the
         Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or
         willful misconduct.

SECTION 8.03.           Individual Rights of Trustee.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or
their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any
Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to
Sections 8.10 and 8.11.

SECTION 8.04.           Trustee's Disclaimer.

                  The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the
Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds
from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the
Company or any Guarantor in this Indenture or any document issued in connection
with the sale of Securities or any statement in the Securities other than the
Trustee's certificate of authentication.

SECTION 8.05.           Notice of Defaults.

                  If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing
and the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Defaults or Events of Default, the
Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default
within 30 days after the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default or
an Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security or a
Default or Event of Default in complying with Sections 5.01, the Trustee may
withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good
faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders.
This Section 8.05 shall be in lieu of the proviso to Section 315(b) of the TIA
and such proviso to Section 315(b) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from
this Indenture and the Securities, as permitted by the TIA.

SECTION 8.06.           Reports by Trustee to Holders.

                  If required by TIA Section 313(a), within 60 days after each
February 1 beginning with February 1, 2004, the Trustee shall mail to each
Holder a report dated as of such February 1 that complies with TIA Section
313(a).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b), (c) and (d).

                  A copy of each such report at the time of its mailing to
Holders shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange, if any, on
which the Securities are listed.

                  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing if
the Securities become listed on any stock exchange or of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 8.07.           Compensation and Indemnity.

                  The Company and the Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee and
the Agents from time to time, and the Trustee and the Agents shall be entitled
to, such compensation as the Company and the Trustee and the Agents shall from
time to time agree in writing for their respective services. The Trustee's
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Company and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee and
the Agents upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances,
including all costs and expenses of collection and reasonable fees,
disbursements and expenses of its agents and outside counsel incurred or made by
any of them in addition to the compensation for their respective services except
any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may be attributable to
negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be reimbursed. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
Trustee's agents, accountants, experts and outside counsel and any taxes or
other expenses incurred by a trust created pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.

                  The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall
indemnify the Trustee and the Agents for, and hold them harmless against any and
all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense, including taxes (other than
franchise taxes imposed on the indemnified party and taxes based upon, measured
by or determined by the income of the indemnified party), arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against or
investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent
that such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense is due to negligence or
willful misconduct of the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall notify
the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the indemnified party for
which it may seek indemnity. However, the failure by the indemnified party to so
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company and the Guarantors of their
obligations hereunder unless the Company and the Guarantors have been prejudiced
thereby. The Company and the Guarantors shall defend the claim and the
indemnified party shall cooperate in the defense at the expense of the Company
and the Guarantors; provided that the Company and the Guarantors shall not be
liable in any action or for which they have assumed the defense for the expenses
of separate counsel to the indemnified party unless (1) the employment of
separate counsel has been authorized by the Company and the Guarantors, (2) the
indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the
indemnified party) that there may be legal defenses available to the indemnified
party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company
and the Guarantors or (3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based upon
advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party, the
Company and the Guarantors; provided further, however, that in any such event
the reimbursement obligation of the Company and the Guarantors with respect to
separate counsel of the indemnified party will be limited to the reasonable fees
and expenses of such counsel.

<PAGE>

                                      -53-

                  The Company and the Guarantors need not pay for any settlement
made without their written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Company and the Guarantors need not reimburse any expense or
indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or an Agent as a
result of its own negligence or willful misconduct.

                  To secure the payment obligations of the Company and the
Guarantors in this Section 8.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the
Securities against all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in
its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal
of or interest on particular Securities.

                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) occurs, the expenses
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the
compensation for the services shall be preferred over the status of the Holders
in a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses
of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 8.08.           Replacement of Trustee.

                  The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company
in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in
writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company's consent. The
Company may remove the Trustee if:

                  (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 8.10;

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

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

                  (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

                  If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred
to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may appoint a
successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

                  A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. As promptly as
practicable after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of
all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.07, all property held
by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided in
Section 8.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective, and the successor Trustee shall have the rights, powers and duties of
the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its
succession to each Holder.

                  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
Securities may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

<PAGE>

                                      -54-

                  If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 8.10, any Holder
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

                  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 8.08, the Company's obligations under Section 8.07 shall continue for
the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 8.09.           Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

                  If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation or banking corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation or banking corporation without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee; provided, however, that such corporation shall be otherwise
qualified and eligible under this Article Eight.

SECTION 8.10.           Eligibility; Disqualification.

                  This Indenture shall always have a Trustee which shall be
eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Sections 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(2). The
Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as
set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. If the
Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting interest" within the meaning of
TIA Section 310(b), the Trustee and the Company shall comply with the
provisions of TIA Section 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be
excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or
indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or
participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the
requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met. If
at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.10, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect hereinbefore specified in this Article Eight. The
provisions of TIA Section 310 shall apply to the Company and any other obligor
of the Securities.

SECTION 8.11.           Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company.

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

respective Guarantees, except those obligations referred to in the penultimate

                  (i)      either (a) all the Securities theretofore

         held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or
         discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for
         cancellation or (b) all Securities not theretofore delivered to the

         deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount
         sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the
         Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
         for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to
         the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the
         Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment
         thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

                  (ii)     the Company has paid all other sums payable under
         this Indenture by the Company; and

         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions
         precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and
         discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

to Section 2.08. After the Securities are no longer outstanding, the Company's
obligations in Sections 8.07, 8.08, 9.05 and 9.06 shall survive.

                  After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon
request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's and
Guarantors' obligations under the Securities, the Guarantees and this Indenture
except for those surviving obligations specified above.

SECTION 9.02.           Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

                  (a) The Company may terminate its obligations in respect of
the Securities by delivering all outstanding Securities to the Trustee for
cancellation and paying all sums payable by it on account of principal of and

Company may, at its option, at any time elect to have either paragraph (b) or

SECTION 9.03.           Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

                  In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance pursuant to

         trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars or United
         States Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such
         amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
         recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal
         of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities on the stated date
         for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case
         may be;

         Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax
         law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion
         of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Securities will not
         recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
         result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income
         tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as
         would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

                  (c) in the case of an election under Section 9.02(c), the
         Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in
         the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that

         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;

                  (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be

         any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such
         deposit;

                  (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not
         result in a breach or violation of or constitute a Default under this

         Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
         Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other
         creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering,
         delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others;

                  (g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all

                  (h) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
         of Counsel to the effect that assuming no intervening bankruptcy or
         insolvency of the Company between the date of deposit and the

<PAGE>

                                      -57-

         91st day following the deposit and that no Holder is an insider of the
         Company, after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will
         not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization or similar law affecting creditors' rights generally.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required
by clause (b) above need not be delivered if all Securities not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable, (y)
will become due and payable on the Final Maturity Date within one year or (z)
are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory

SECTION 9.04.           Application of Trust Money; Trustee Acknowledgment and
                        Indemnity.

                  The Trustee shall hold in trust money or United States
Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 9.03, and shall
apply the deposited money and the money from United States Government
Obligations in accordance with this Indenture solely to the payment of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities.

                  After such delivery or irrevocable deposit and delivery of an
Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee upon request shall
acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's obligations under the
Securities and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified
above.

tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the United States
Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.03 or the principal and
interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other
charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of outstanding Securities.

SECTION 9.05.           Repayment to Company.

                  Subject to Sections 8.07 and 9.04, the Trustee shall promptly
pay to the Company upon written request any excess money held by it at any time.
The Trustee shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by it
for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years;
provided, however, that the Trustee before being required to make any payment
may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in a newspaper of
general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each Holder entitled to
such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such
publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall
be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to
money must look solely to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an
applicable abandoned property law designates another person and all liability of
the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon cease.

SECTION 9.06.           Reinstatement.

                  If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or United States
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.02 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 obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 9.02 until
such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or United States
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.02; provided, however, that
if the Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of any
Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the

<PAGE>

                                      -58-

Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to
receive such payment from the money or United States Government Obligations held
by the Trustee.

         interest on any Security;

                  (d) make any Security payable in money other than that stated
         in the Securities;

                  (e) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture
         relating to the rights of Holders of Securities to receive payments of
         principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities;

                  (f) modify any provisions of Section 6.04 (other than to add
         sections of this Indenture or the Securities subject thereto) or 6.07
         or this Section 10.02 (other than to add sections of this Indenture or
         the Securities which may not be modified, amended, supplemented or
         waived without the consent of each Holder affected);

                  (g) reduce the percentage of the principal amount of
         outstanding Securities necessary for amendment to or waiver of
         compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities or
         for waiver of any Default in respect thereof;

                  (h) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of
         principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (except
         a rescission of acceleration of the Securities by the Holders thereof
         as provided in Section 6.02 and a waiver of the payment default that
         resulted from such acceleration);

                  (i) waive a mandatory repurchase or redemption payment with
         respect to any Security required by Section 4.08 or 4.15; or

                  (j) modify the ranking or priority of any Security or the
         Guarantee in respect thereof of any Guarantor in any manner adverse to
         the Holders of the Securities.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under
this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.

                  After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section
10.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby
a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of
the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in
any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or
waiver.

SECTION 10.03.          Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

                                      -60-

SECTION 10.04.          Record Date for Consents and Effect of Consents.

                  The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record
date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Securities entitled to
consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then
those persons who were Holders of Securities at such record date (or their duly
designated proxies), and only those 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 of such Securities after such
record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days
after such record date. The Trustee is entitled to rely upon any electronic
instruction from beneficial owners to the Holders of any Global Security.

                  After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it
shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses
(a) through (j) of Section 10.02. In that case the amendment, supplement or
waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder's Security.

SECTION 10.05.          Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

                  If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a
Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to
the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about
the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or
the Trustee so determine, the Company in exchange for the Security 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 Security shall
not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 10.06.          Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc.

                  The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Ten is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or
waiver constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions). The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment,
supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. In signing any amendment,
supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                                   GUARANTEES

SECTION 11.01.          Unconditional Guarantee.

                  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally,
guarantees (each, a "Guarantee") to each Holder of a Security authenticated by
the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns that: the
principal of and interest on the Securities will be promptly paid in full when
due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal

<PAGE>

                                      -61-

and interest on any overdue interest on the Securities and all other obligations
of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Securities
will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof; subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section
11.04. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions
hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action
to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court
in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever
and covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture and
this Guarantee. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or
otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any
Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or
such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be
reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as
between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the
other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purpose of this Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the
event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forth become due and payable
by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

SECTION 11.02.          Severability.

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

SECTION 11.03.          Release of a Guarantor.

                  (a) If the Securities are defeased in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture, or if, subject to the requirements of Section 5.01(a),
all or substantially all of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor or all of the
equity interests of any Subsidiary Guarantor are sold (including by issuance or
otherwise) by the Company in a transaction constituting an Asset Sale and (x)
the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale are used in accordance with Section
4.08 or (y) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate to the
effect that the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale shall be used in
accordance with Section 4.08 and within the time limits specified by Section
4.08, then each Guarantor (in the case of defeasance) or such Subsidiary
Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the equity
interests of such Guarantor) or the Person acquiring such assets (in the event
of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such
Subsidiary Guarantor) shall be released and discharged from all obligations
under this Article Eleven without any further action required on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee shall, at the sole cost and expense of the
Company and upon receipt at the reasonable request of the Trustee of an Opinion
of Counsel that the provisions of this Section 11.03 have been complied with,
deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt of a
request by the Company accompanied by an Officers' Certificate certifying as to
the compliance with this Section 11.03. Any Guarantor not so released remains
liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Securities and
the other obligations of the Company hereunder as provided in this Article
Eleven.

                 (b) Any Subsidiary Guarantor that is designated an Unrestricted
Subsidiary shall upon such designation be released and discharged of all
obligations under this Article Eleven without any further action required on the
part of the Trustee or any Holder.

                                      -62-

SECTION 11.04.          Limitation of Guarantor's Liability.

                  Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each
Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such
parties that the Guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its
Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of
title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar U.S. Federal
or state or other applicable law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Holders and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the
obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to
the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and
fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any
collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary
Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under
its Guarantee or pursuant to Section 11.05, result in the obligations of such
Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting such a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 11.05.          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
distribution is made by any Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor") under the
Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all
other Guarantors in a pro rata amount, based on the net assets of each Guarantor
(including the Funding Guarantor), determined in accordance with GAAP, subject
to Section 11.04, for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by such
Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company's obligations with respect to the
Securities or any other Guarantor's obligations with respect to the Guarantee.

SECTION 11.06.          Execution of Guarantee.

                  To further evidence its guarantee to the Holders, each of the
Guarantors hereby agrees to execute a Guarantee to be endorsed on each Security
ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each Guarantor hereby
agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a Guarantee.
Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by its Chairman
of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents prior to the
authentication of the Security on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such
Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor. Such
signature upon the Guarantee may be manual or facsimile signature of such
officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in
case such officer who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such
officer before the Security on which such Guarantee is endorsed shall have been
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such
Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as
though the Person who signed the Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer of
such Guarantor.

SECTION 11.07.          Subordination of Subrogation and Other Rights.

                  Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any claim against the
Company that arises from the payment, performance or enforcement of such
Guarantor's obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture, including,
without limitation, any right of subrogation, shall be subject and subordinate
to, and no payment with respect to any such claim of such Guarantor shall be
made before, the payment in full in cash of all outstanding Securities in
accordance with the provisions provided therefor in this Indenture.

                                      -63-

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                           SUBORDINATION OF GUARANTEE

SECTION 12.01.          Agreement To Subordinate.

                  Each Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by accepting a
Guarantee agrees, that the Indebtedness of such Guarantor evidenced by the
Guarantee is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner
provided in this Article Twelve, to the payment when due of all Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor and that such subordination is for the benefit of
and enforceable by the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness. The Guarantee
shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Guarantor Senior
Subordinated Indebtedness of a Guarantor, and only Indebtedness of a Guarantor
which is Guarantor Senior Indebtedness will rank senior to the Guarantee in
accordance with the provisions set forth herein. Unsecured Indebtedness is not
deemed to be subordinate or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is
unsecured, nor is any Indebtedness deemed to be subordinate or junior to other
Indebtedness merely because it matures after such other Indebtedness. Secured
Indebtedness is not deemed to be Senior Indebtedness merely because it is
secured. All provisions of this Article Twelve shall be subject to Section
12.12.

SECTION 12.02.          Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.

                  Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of a Guarantor
upon a total or partial liquidation or dissolution or reorganization or
bankruptcy of or similar proceeding relating to a Guarantor or its property:

                  (1)      holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such
         Guarantor shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or Cash
         Equivalents of all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor
         before Holders shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal of
         or interest on or other amounts with respect to the Securities from
         such Guarantor; and

                  (2)      until the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such
         Guarantor is paid in full, any payment or distribution to which Holders
         would be entitled but for the provisions of this Article Twelve shall
         be made to holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness as their interests
         may appear.

SECTION 12.03.          Default on Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

                  No Guarantor may pay the principal of, premium (if any), or
interest on, and other obligations with respect to, the Securities or make any
deposit pursuant to Section 9.03 or repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire any
Securities (collectively, "pay the Securities") if (i) any Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness is not paid in cash or Cash Equivalents when due or (ii) any other
default on Guarantor Senior Indebtedness occurs and the maturity of such
Guarantor Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms
unless, in either case, (x) the default has been cured or waived or is no longer
continuing and/or any such acceleration has been rescinded or (y) such Guarantor
Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full; provided, however, that the Guarantor
may pay the Securities subject to the provisions of Section 12.02, without
regard to the foregoing if the Guarantor and the Trustee receive written notice
approving such payment from the Representatives of the Senior Indebtedness with
respect to which either of the events set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of this
sentence has occurred or is continuing. During the continuance of any default
(other than a default described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence)
with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the
maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except
such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of
any applicable grace periods, a Guarantor may not pay the Securities (except

<PAGE>

                                      -64-

(i) in Qualified Capital Stock issued by such Guarantor to pay interest on the
Securities or issued in exchange for the Securities, (ii) in securities
substantially identical to the Securities issued by such Guarantor in payment of
interest accrued thereon or (iii) in securities issued by such Guarantor which
are subordinated to the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness at least to the same
extent as the Securities and having a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at least
equal to the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Securities) for
a period (a "Guarantor Payment Blockage Period") commencing upon the receipt by
the Trustee (with a copy to the Guarantor) of written notice (a "Guarantor
Blockage Notice") of such default from the Representative of the holders of such
Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Guarantor
Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier if such
Guarantor Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by written notice to the
Trustee and the Guarantor from the Person or Persons who gave such Guarantor
Blockage Notice, (ii) because the default giving rise to such Guarantor Blockage
Notice is no longer continuing or (iii) because such Designated Senior
Indebtedness has been repaid in full). Notwithstanding the provisions of the
immediately preceding sentence, but subject to the provisions of the first
sentence of this Section 12.03 and the provisions of Section 12.02, the
Guarantor may resume payments on the Securities after the end of such Payment
Blockage Period. Not more than one Blockage Notice may be given, and not more
than one Payment Blockage Period may occur, in any consecutive 360-day period,
irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior
Indebtedness during such period. However, if any Blockage Notice within such
360-day period is given by or on behalf of any holders of Designated Senior
Indebtedness (other than the agent under the Senior Credit Facilities), the
agent under the Senior Credit Facilities may give another Blockage Notice within
such period. In no event, however, may the total number of days during which any
Payment Blockage Period or Payment Blockage Periods are in effect exceed 179
days in the aggregate during any 360 consecutive day period. No nonpayment
default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Blockage
Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Blockage
Notice unless such default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not
less than 90 consecutive days.

SECTION 12.04.          Acceleration of Payment of Securities.

                  If a notice is required pursuant to the first sentence of
Section 7.04, no Guarantor may pay the Securities (except payment (i) in
Qualified Capital Stock issued by the Guarantor to pay interest on the
Securities or issued in exchange for the Securities, (ii) in securities
substantially identical to the Securities issued by the Guarantor in payment of
interest accrued thereon or (iii) securities issued by the Guarantor which are
subordinated to the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness at least to the same extent as
the Securities and have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at least equal to
the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Securities), until five
Business Days after the respective Representative of the Designated Senior
Indebtedness receives notice (at the address specified in the preceding
sentence) of such acceleration and thereafter, may pay the Securities only if
the provisions of this Article Twelve otherwise permit payment at that time.

SECTION 12.05.          When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

                  If a distribution is made to the Trustee or to Holders that
because of this Article Twelve should not have been made to them, the Trustee or
the Holders who receive such distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of
Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and promptly pay it over to them as their
respective interests may appear; provided, however, that the liabilities of the
Trustee under this Section 12.05 are limited by Section 12.15.

SECTION 12.06.          Subrogation.

                  After all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and
until the Securities are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights
of holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions

<PAGE>

                                      -65-

applicable to Guarantor Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this
Article Twelve to holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness which otherwise would
have been made to Holders is not, as between the Guarantor and the Holders, a
payment by any Guarantor of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

SECTION 12.07.          Relative Rights.

                  This Article Twelve defines the relative rights of Holders of
the Securities on the one hand and holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness on
the other hand. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

                  (a) impair, as between the Guarantor and the Holders, the
         obligations of any Guarantor, which are absolute and unconditional, in
         respect of its Guarantee; or

                  (b) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its
         available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the
         rights of holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to receive
         distributions otherwise payable to Holders.

SECTION 12.08.          Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Guarantor.

                  No right of any holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to
enforce the subordination of the obligations under any Guarantee evidenced by
the Securities shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by any Guarantor
or by the failure of any Guarantor to comply with this Indenture.

SECTION 12.09.          Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

                  Notwithstanding Section 12.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent may
continue to make payments on the Securities and shall not be charged with
knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such
payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such
payment, a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives notice satisfactory to it that
payments may not be made under this Article Twelve. A Guarantor, the Registrar
or co-registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of Guarantor
Senior Indebtedness may give the notice; provided, however, that if an issue of
Guarantor Senior Indebtedness has a Representative, only the Representative may
give the notice.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold
Guarantor Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. The Registrar and co-registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same
with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in
this Article Twelve with respect to any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness which may
at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Guarantor
Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in Article Twelve shall deprive the Trustee of
any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article Twelve shall apply to
claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 8.07.

SECTION 12.10.          Distribution or Notice to Representative.

                  Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to
holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the
notice given to their Representative, if any.

SECTION 12.11.          Article Twelve Not To Prevent Events of Default or Limit
                        Right To Accelerate.

                  The failure to make a payment in respect of the Securities by
reason of any provision in this Article Twelve shall not be construed as
preventing the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default. Nothing in

<PAGE>

                                      -66-

this Article Twelve shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the
Trustee to enforce any Guarantee or to accelerate the maturity of the
Securities.

SECTION 12.12.          Trust Moneys Not Subordinated.

                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust
under Article Eight by the Trustee for payment in respect of the Guarantees
shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article Twelve,
and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to such
Guarantor, any holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, or any
other creditor of such Guarantor.

SECTION 12.13.          Trustee Entitled To Rely.

                  Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article
Twelve, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (i) upon any order
or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the
nature referred to in Section 12.02 are pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the
liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution
to the Trustee or to the Holders or (iii) upon the Representatives for the
holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness for the purpose of ascertaining the
Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of
Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of any Guarantor, the
amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed
thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Twelve. In the
event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with
respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness
to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Twelve,
the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness
held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate
in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such
Person under this Article Twelve, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the
Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as
to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The Trustee shall have the
right to seek a declaratory judgment as to any right of such Person to receive
such payment. The provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.02 shall be applicable to
all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article

SECTION 12.14.          Trustee To Effectuate Subordination.

the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate

holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article Twelve and

the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such
holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the
Guarantor, or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of
Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Twelve

that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an
inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness, whether such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired
before or after the issuance of the Guarantee, to acquire and continue to hold,
or to continue to hold, such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and such holder of
Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on
such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in
continuing to hold, such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

                  THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THIS INDENTURE,

obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Securities or the
Guarantees, as the case may be, or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in

any party hereto.

                           LIN TELEVISION CORPORATION

                    6 1/2% Senior Subordinated Note due 2013

1.       Interest.

                  LIN TELEVISION CORPORATION promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. Cash
interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from [        ]. The
Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date, commencing on [        ]. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

                  The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal from time
to time on demand and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from time to time on demand, in
each case at the rate borne by the Securities.

2.       Method of Payment.

                  The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except
defaulted interest) to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close
of business on the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Interest
Payment Date even if the Securities are canceled on registration of transfer or
registration of exchange after such Interest Record Date. Holders must surrender
Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall
pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts ("U.S. Legal
Tender"). However, the Company may pay principal and interest by wire transfer
of Federal funds (provided that the Paying Agent shall have received wire
instructions on or prior to the relevant Interest Record Date), or interest by
check payable in such U.S. Legal Tender. The Company may deliver any such
interest payment to the Paying Agent or to a Holder at the Holder's registered
address.

3.       Paying Agent and Registrar.

                  Initially, The Bank of New York (the "Trustee") will act as
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar
without notice to the Holders. The Company may, subject to certain exceptions,
act as Registrar.

4.       Indenture.

                  The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as
of May 12, 2003 (the "Indenture"), by and among the Company, the Guarantors
named therein and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in
the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. This Security is one of a duly
authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its 6 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2013, Series A (the "Initial Securities"), which may be
issued under the Indenture. Subject to compliance with Section 4.04 of the
Indenture, the Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Securities pursuant
to Section 2.17 of the Indenture. The Securities include the Initial Securities,
the Private Exchange Securities (as defined in the

                                       A-4

<PAGE>

Indenture) and the Unrestricted Securities (as defined in the Indenture). All
Securities issued under the Indenture are treated as a single class of
securities under the Indenture. The terms of the Securities 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.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the "TIA"), as in
effect on the date of the Indenture (except as otherwise indicated in the
Indenture) until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and
thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under
the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Securities are
subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA
for a statement of them. The Securities are general unsecured obligations of the
Company. The Securities are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and
future Senior Indebtedness of the Company to the extent and in the manner
provided in the Indenture. Each Holder of a Security, by accepting a Security,
agrees to such subordination, authorizes the Trustee to give effect to such
subordination and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

5.       Optional Redemption.

                  (a) The Securities will be redeemable at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2008, at the
redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) set forth
below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Interest Record Date
to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) if redeemed
during the 12-month period commencing on May 15 of the years indicated below:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Year                                                  Percentage

<S>                                                   <C>
2008                                                   103.250%
2009                                                   102.167%
2010                                                   101.083%
2011 and thereafter                                    100.000%
</TABLE>

                  (b) Prior to May 15, 2008, the Company may, at its option, use
the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the
principal amount of the Securities at a redemption price equal to 106.500% of
the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption
date; provided, however, that after any such redemption, at least 65% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities originally issued would remain
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such redemption. Any such
redemption will be required to occur on or prior to the date that is one year
after the receipt by the Company of the proceeds of an Equity Offering. The
Company shall effect such redemption on a pro rata basis.

                  (c) Prior to May 15, 2008, upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control, the Company will have the option to redeem the Securities in whole but
not in part (a "Change of Control Redemption") at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date, plus the Applicable Premium. In order to effect a Change of
Control Redemption, the Company must send a notice to each Holder, which notice
shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Redemption. Such notice must
comply with the provisions of Section 3.03 of the Indenture; provided, however,
that such notice must be mailed to Holders within 30 days following the date the
Change of Control occurred (the "Change of Control Redemption Date") and state
that the Company is effecting a Change of Control Redemption in lieu of a Change
of Control Offer.

                  "Applicable Premium" means, with respect to a Security at any
Change of Control Redemption Date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal
amount of such Security and (ii) the excess of (A) the present value at such
time of (1) the redemption price of such Security at May 15, 2008 (such
redemption price being described in paragraph (a) above) plus (2) all
semi-annual payments of interest through May 15, 2008 computed using a discount
rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 75 basis points over (B) the principal
amount of such Security.

                                       A-5

<PAGE>

                  "Treasury Rate" means the yield to maturity at the time of
computation of United States Treasury Securities with a constant maturity (as
compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release
H.15(519) that has become publicly available at least two business days prior to
the Change of Control Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no
longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most
nearly equal to the period from the Change of Control Redemption Date to May 15,
2008; provided, however, that if the period from the Change of Control
Redemption Date to May 15, 2008 is not equal to the constant maturity of a
United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the
Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the
nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States
Treasury Securities for which such yields are given except that if the period
from the Change of Control Redemption Date to May 15, 2008 is less than one
year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury
Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

6.       Notice of Redemption.

                  Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each
Holder of Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. The Trustee may
select for redemption portions of the principal amount of Securities that have
denominations equal to or larger than $1,000 principal amount. Securities and
portions of them the Trustee so selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 principal
amount or integral multiples thereof.

                  If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of
redemption that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Security in a principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder
thereof upon cancellation of the original Security. On and after the Redemption
Date, interest will cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for
redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent for the
Securities funds in satisfaction of the redemption price pursuant to the
Indenture and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such funds to the
Holders pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

7.       Change of Control Offer.

                  Following the occurrence of a Change of Control (the date of
such occurrence being the "Change of Control Date"), the Company shall, within
30 days after the Change of Control Date, be required to offer to purchase all
Securities then outstanding at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if
any, to the date of such purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on
the relevant Interest Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant
Interest Payment Date).

8.       Limitation on Disposition of Assets.

                  The Company is, subject to certain conditions and certain
exceptions, obligated to offer to purchase the Securities at a purchase price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, if any, to the date of such purchase (subject to the right of Holders
of record on the relevant Interest Record Date to receive interest due on the
relevant Interest Record Date) with the proceeds of certain asset dispositions.

                                       A-6

<PAGE>

9.       Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

                  The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder shall
register the transfer of or exchange Securities in accordance with the
Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer
taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or
exchange any Securities or portions thereof selected for redemption, except the
unredeemed portion of any security being redeemed in part.

10.      Persons Deemed Owners.

                  The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as the
owner of it for all purposes.

11.      Unclaimed Funds.

                  If funds for the payment of principal or interest remain
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will repay the funds
to the Company at their written request. After that, all liability of the
Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such funds shall cease.

12.      Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

                  The Company and the Guarantors may be discharged from their
obligations under the Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees, except for
certain provisions thereof, and may be discharged from obligations to comply
with certain covenants contained in the Indenture, the Securities and the
Guarantees, in each case upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in
the Indenture.

13.      Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

                  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the
Securities (including the Guarantees) may be amended or supplemented with the
written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of
Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may
amend or supplement the Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees to, among
other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for
uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities
or comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification
of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not
materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

14.      Restrictive Covenants.

                  The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other
things, limit the ability of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to make
restricted payments, to incur indebtedness, to sell assets, to permit
restrictions on dividends and other payments by Subsidiaries to the Company, to
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets and to engage
in transactions with affiliates. The limitations are subject to a number of
important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must report annually to the
Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

                                       A-7

<PAGE>

15.      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 Securities then
outstanding may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Securities
may not enforce the Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees except as
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the
Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees unless it has received indemnity
satisfactory to it. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations
therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust
or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Securities notice of certain
continuing Defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest.

16.      Trustee Dealings with Company and Guarantors.

                  The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise
deal with the Company, the Guarantors, their respective Subsidiaries or their
respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

17.      No Recourse Against Others.

                  No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of
the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any
obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Securities or the
Guarantees, as the case may be, or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by
accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities and the
Guarantees.

18.      Authentication.

                  This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee or
authenticating agent signs the certificate of authentication on this Security.

19.      Abbreviations and Defined Terms.

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

20.      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 Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the
Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as
printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed hereon.

21.      Registration Rights.

                  Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and
the Guarantors will be obligated to consummate an exchange offer pursuant to
which the Holder of this Security shall have the right to

                                       A-8

<PAGE>

exchange this Security for a 6 1/2% Senior Subordinated Note due 2013 of the
Company which has been registered under the Securities Act, in like principal
amount and having terms identical in all material respects to the Initial
Securities. The Holders shall be entitled to receive certain liquidated damages
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.

22.      Governing Law.

                  The laws of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture,
this Security and any Guarantee hereof without regard to principles of conflicts
of laws to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction
would be required thereby.

                  Each undersigned Guarantor (as defined in the Indenture
referred to in the Security upon which this notation is endorsed) hereby

made.

this Guarantee is noted shall have been executed by the Trustee under the
Indenture by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers.

                  This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles

               6 1/2% Senior Subordinated Note due 2013, Series B

1.       Interest.

                  LIN TELEVISION CORPORATION promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. Cash
interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from [     ]. The
Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date, commencing on [     ]. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

                  The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal from time
to time on demand and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from time to time on demand, in
each case at the rate borne by the Securities.

2.       Method of Payment.

                  The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except
defaulted interest) to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close
of business on the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Interest
Payment Date even if the Securities are canceled on registration of transfer or
registration of exchange after such Interest Record Date. Holders must surrender
Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall
pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts ("U.S. Legal
Tender"). However, the Company may pay principal and interest by wire transfer
of Federal funds (provided that the Paying Agent shall have received wire
instructions on or prior to the relevant Interest Record Date), or interest by
check payable in such U.S. Legal Tender. The Company may deliver any such
interest payment to the Paying Agent or to a Holder at the Holder's registered
address.

3.       Paying Agent and Registrar.

                  Initially, The Bank of New York (the "Trustee") will act as
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar
without notice to the Holders. The Company may, subject to certain exceptions,
act as Registrar.

4.       Indenture.

                  The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as
of May 12, 2003 (the "Indenture"), by and among the Company, the Guarantors
named therein and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in
the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. This Security is one of a duly
authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its 6 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2013, Series B, which may be issued under the Indenture.
Subject to compliance with Section 4.04 of the Indenture, the Company shall be
entitled to issue Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.17 of the
Indenture. The Securities include the Initial Securities (as defined in the
Indenture), the Private Exchange Securities (as defined

                                       B-3

<PAGE>

in the Indenture) and the Unrestricted Securities (as defined in the
Indenture). All Securities issued under the Indenture are treated as a single
class of securities under the Indenture. The terms of the Securities 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.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the
"TIA"), as in effect on the date of the Indenture (except as otherwise
indicated in the Indenture) until such time as the Indenture is qualified under
the TIA, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is
qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the
Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Securities are general
unsecured obligations of the Company. The Securities are subordinated in right
of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Company to the
extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture. Each Holder, by accepting a
Security, agrees to such subordination, authorizes the Trustee to give effect
to such subordination and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such
purpose.

5.       Optional Redemption.

                  (a) The Securities will be redeemable at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2008, at the
redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) set forth
below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Interest Record Date
to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) if redeemed
during the 12-month period commencing on May 15 of the years indicated below:

<TABLE>

2009                                                   102.167%
20010                                                  101.083%
2011 and thereafter                                    100.000%
</TABLE>

                  (b) Prior to May 15, 2006, the Company may, at its option, use
the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the
principal amount of the Securities at a redemption price equal to 106.50% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption
date; provided, however, that after any such redemption, at least 65% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities originally issued would remain
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such redemption. Any such
redemption will be required to occur on or prior to the date that is one year
after the receipt by the Company of the proceeds of an Equity Offering. The
Company shall effect such redemption on a pro rata basis.

                  (c) Prior to May 15, 2008, upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control, the Company will have the option to redeem the Securities in whole but
not in part (a "Change of Control Redemption") at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date, plus the Applicable Premium. In order to effect a Change of
Control Redemption, the Company must send a notice to each Holder, which notice
shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Redemption. Such notice must
comply with the provisions of Section 3.03 of the Indenture; provided, however,
that such notice must be mailed to Holders within 30 days following the date the
Change of Control occurred (the "Change of Control Redemption Date") and state
that the Company is effecting a Change of Control Redemption in lieu of a Change
of Control Offer.

                  "Applicable Premium" means, with respect to a Security at any
Change of Control Redemption Date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal
amount of such Security and (ii) the excess of (A) the present value at such
time of (1) the redemption price of such Security at May 15, 2008 (such
redemption price being described in paragraph (a) above) plus (2) all
semi-annual payments of interest through May 15, 2008 computed using a discount
rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 75 basis points over (B) the principal
amount of such Security.

                                       B-4

<PAGE>

                  "Treasury Rate" means the yield to maturity at the time of
computation of United States Treasury Securities with a constant maturity (as
compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release
H.15(519) that has become publicly available at least two business days prior to
the Change of Control Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no
longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most
nearly equal to the period from the Change of Control Redemption Date to May 15,
2008; provided, however, that if the period from the Change of Control
Redemption Date to May 15, 2008 is not equal to the constant maturity of a
United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the
Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the
nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States
Treasury Securities for which such yields are given except that if the period
from the Change of Control Redemption Date to May 15, 2008 is less than one
year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury
Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

6.       Notice of Redemption.

                  Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each
Holder of Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. The Trustee may
select for redemption portions of the principal amount of Securities that have
denominations equal to or larger than $1,000 principal amount. Securities and
portions of them the Trustee so selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 principal
amount or integral multiples thereof.

                  If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of
redemption that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Security in a principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder
thereof upon cancellation of the original Security. On and after the Redemption
Date, interest will cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for
redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent for the
Securities funds in satisfaction of the redemption price pursuant to the
Indenture and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such funds to the
Holders pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

7.       Change of Control Offer.

                  Following the occurrence of a Change of Control (the date of
such occurrence being the "Change of Control Date"), the Company shall, within
30 days after the Change of Control Date, offer to purchase all Securities then
outstanding at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of
such purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
Interest Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment
Date).

8.       Limitation on Disposition of Assets.

                  The Company is, subject to certain conditions and certain
exceptions, obligated to offer to purchase the Securities at a purchase price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, if any, to the date of such purchase (subject to the right of Holders
of record on the relevant Interest Record Date to receive interest due on the
relevant Interest Payment Date) with the proceeds of certain asset dispositions.

                                       B-5

<PAGE>

9.       Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

                  The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder shall
register the transfer of or exchange Securities in accordance with the
Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer
taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or
exchange any Securities or portions thereof selected for redemption, except the
unredeemed portion of any security being redeemed in part.

10.      Persons Deemed Owners.

                  The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as the
owner of it for all purposes.

11.      Unclaimed Funds.

                  If funds for the payment of principal or interest remain
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will repay the funds
to the Company at their written request. After that, all liability of the
Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such funds shall cease.

12.      Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

                  The Company and the Guarantors may be discharged from their
obligations under the Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees, except for
certain provisions thereof, and may be discharged from obligations to comply
with certain covenants contained in the Indenture, the Securities and the
Guarantees, in each case upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in
the Indenture.

13.      Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

                  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture and the
Securities (including the Guarantees) may be amended or supplemented with the
written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of
Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may
amend or supplement the Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees to, among
other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for
uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities
or comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification
of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not
materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

14.      Restrictive Covenants.

                  The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other
things, limit the ability of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to make
restricted payments, to incur indebtedness, to sell assets, to permit
restrictions on dividends and other payments by Subsidiaries to the Company, to
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets and to engage
in transactions with affiliates. The limitations are subject to a number of
important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must report annually to the
Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

15.      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 Securities then
outstanding may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Securities
may not enforce the Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees except as
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the
Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees unless it has received indemnity
satisfactory to it. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations
therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust
or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Securities notice of certain
continuing Defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest.

16.      Trustee Dealings with Company and Guarantors.

                  The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise
deal with the Company, the Guarantors, their respective Subsidiaries or their
respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

17.      No Recourse Against Others.

                  No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of
the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any
obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Securities or the
Guarantees, as the case may be, or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by
accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities and the
Guarantees.

18.      Authentication.

                  This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee or
authenticating agent signs the certificate of authentication on this Security.

19.      Abbreviations and Defined Terms.

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

20.      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 Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the
Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as
printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed hereon.

of laws to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction
would be required thereby.

                    OR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF SECURITIES

         Re:      6 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013
                  (the "Securities") of LIN Television Corporation

                  This Certificate relates to $_______ principal amount of
Securities held in the form of* ___ a beneficial interest in a Global Security
or* _______ Physical Securities by ______ (the "Transferor").

The Transferor:*

         [ ]      has requested by written order that the Registrar deliver in
exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Security held by the
Depositary a Physical Security or Physical Securities in definitive, registered
form of authorized denominations and an aggregate number equal to its beneficial
interest in such Global Security (or the portion thereof indicated above); or

         [ ]      has requested that the Registrar by written order exchange or
register the transfer of a Physical Security or Physical Securities.

                  In connection with such request and in respect of each such
Security, the Transferor does hereby certify that the Transferor is familiar
with the Indenture relating to the above captioned Securities and the
restrictions on transfers thereof as provided in Section 2.16 of such Indenture,
and that the transfer of the Securities does not require registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), because*:

         [ ]      Such Security is being acquired for the Transferor's own
account, without transfer (in satisfaction of Section 2.16 of the Indenture).

         [ ]      Such Security is being transferred to a "qualified
institutional buyer" (as defined in Rule 144A under the Act), in reliance on
Rule 144A.

         [ ]      Such Security is being transferred to an institutional
"accredited investor" (within the meaning of subparagraph (a)(1), (2), (3) or
(7) of Rule 501 under the Act) which delivers a certificate to the Trustee in
the form of Exhibit E to the Indenture.

         [ ]      Such Security is being transferred in reliance on Rule 144
under the Act.

         [ ]      Such Security is being transferred in reliance on and in
compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act other
than Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Act to a person other than an institutional
"accredited investor." [An Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transfer
does not require registration under the Securities Act accompanies this
certification.]

LIN TELEVISION CORPORATION
One Richmond Square, Suite 230E
Providence, Rhode Island 02906

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of
$________ principal amount of the 6 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the
"Notes") of LIN TELEVISION CORPORATION (the "Company"). Upon transfer, the Notes
would be registered in the name of 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 (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 we 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 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 which has been declared effective under
the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule
144A under the Securities Act, to a person we reasonably believe is a qualified
institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a "QIB") that purchases for its own account
or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is
being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) to an institutional "accredited
investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such
an institutional "accredited investor," in each case in a minimum principal
amount of Notes of $250,000, (e) pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside
the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or
(f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement
of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor
account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in

                                       E-1

compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions
on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date.
If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to
clause (d) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the
transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form
of this letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other
things, that the transferee is an institutional "accredited investor" within the
meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it
is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in
violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company
and the Trustee reserve the right prior to any offer, sale or other transfer
prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause
(d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel,
certificates and/or other information satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  (2)      either (a) at the time the buy offer was originated,
         the transferee was outside the United States or we and any person
         acting on our behalf reasonably believed that the transferee was
         outside the United States, or (b) the transaction was executed in, on
         or through the facilities of a designated off-shore securities market
         and neither we nor any person acting on our behalf knows that the
         transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States;

                  (3)      no directed selling efforts have been made in the
         United States in contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(b) or

                  (4)      the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to

         restrictions applicable to the Securities.
