                                   ARTICLE I

           ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS BY THE SUCCESSOR COMPANY AND THE
            SUCCESSOR GUARANTOR; REAFFIRMATION OF OBLIGATIONS OF THE
                                   GUARANTORS

     SECTION 1.01 ASSUMPTION AND REAFFIRMATION. The Successor Company hereby
expressly and unconditionally assumes each and every covenant, agreement and
undertaking of the Predecessor Company in the Indenture as if the Successor
Company had been the original issuer of the Notes, and also hereby expressly and
unconditionally assumes each and every covenant, agreement and undertaking in
each Note outstanding on the date of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and any
Notes delivered hereafter.



                                       2
<PAGE>

     The Successor Guarantor hereby expressly and unconditionally assumes each
and every covenant, agreement and undertaking of PPESCL in the Indenture as if
the Successor Guarantor had been an original party thereto and also hereby
expressly and unconditionally assumes each and every covenant, agreement and
undertaking in the Guarantee endorsed on each Note outstanding on the date of
this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and any Guarantee endorsed on any Notes
delivered hereafter.

     Each Existing Guarantor hereby expressly and unconditionally reaffirms each
and every covenant, agreement and undertaking of such Existing Guarantor in the
Indenture as if the Successor Company had been the original issuer of the Notes,
and also hereby expressly and unconditionally reaffirms each and every covenant,
agreement and undertaking in its Guarantee endorsed on the Notes outstanding on
the date of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and in each Guarantee endorsed on
any Notes delivered hereafter.


                                   ARTICLE II
                               GUARANTEE OF NOTES

     Section 2.01 GUARANTEE. Each New Guarantor hereby jointly and severally
unconditionally guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis, to each Holder of a
Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its
successors, irrespective of: (i) the validity and enforceability of the
Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Successor Company or any other
Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder; or (ii) the
absence of any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or default of a Guarantor,
that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest,
if any, on and any Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to the Notes will be
duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted
by law) interest or Additional Interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if
any, with respect to the Notes and all other obligations of the Successor
Company or any Guarantor to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder
(including amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 of the Indenture) and all
other obligations under the Indenture or the Notes will be promptly paid in full
or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such
other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed
in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount
so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Successor
Company to the Holders, for whatever reason, each New Guarantor will be
obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same
immediately. An Event of Default under the Indenture or the Notes shall
constitute an event of default under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the
Holders of Notes or the Trustee to accelerate the obligations of the New
Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the
obligations of the Successor Company.

     Each New Guarantor, by execution of this Guarantee, agrees that its
obligations



                                       3
<PAGE>

hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Indenture or the Notes, the absence of any action to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any
provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery
of any judgment against the Successor Company, any action to enforce the same,
whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any particular Note, or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a Guarantor. Each New Guarantor, by execution of this Guarantee,
waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of
claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Successor
Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Successor Company,
protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee
shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations
contained in the Notes, the Indenture and this Guarantee. This Guarantee is a
guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder or the Trustee is
required by any court or otherwise to return to the Successor Company or to any
Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official
acting in relation to the Successor Company or such Guarantor, any amount paid
by the Successor Company or such Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this
Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full
force and effect. Each New Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the
one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to
Article Ten of the Indenture, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby
may be accelerated as provided in Article Six of the Indenture for the purposes
of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby,
and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in
Article Six of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable)
shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this
Guarantee.

     This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be
effective should any petition be filed by or against the Successor Company for
liquidation or reorganization, should the Successor Company become insolvent or
make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee
be appointed for all or any significant part of the Successor Company's assets,
and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the
Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must
otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes, whether as a
"voidable preference," "fraudulent transfer" or otherwise, all as though such
payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any
part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by
such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

     No shareholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator, past, present
or future, of any New Guarantor, as such shall have any personal liability under
this Guarantee by reason of his, her or its status as such shareholder, officer,
director, employee or incorporator.

     Section 2.02 EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF GUARANTEE. To further evidence the
Guarantee set forth in Section 2.01 hereof, each New Guarantor hereby agrees
that a notation of such Guarantee, substantially in the form included in EXHIBIT
F of the Indenture, shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee and such Guarantee shall be executed by either manual or
facsimile signature of an Officer of each New Guarantor. The



                                       4
<PAGE>

validity and enforceability of any Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact
that it is not affixed to any particular Note.

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

     If an Officer of a New Guarantor whose signature is on the Indenture or a
Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the
Note on which such Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such New
Guarantor's Guarantee of such Note shall be valid nevertheless.

     The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof
under the Indenture, shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee set forth in
the Indenture on behalf of the New Guarantors.

     Section 2.03 LIMITATION OF GUARANTEE. The obligations of each Guarantor are
limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to
any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or
pursuant to its contribution obligations under the Indenture, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. Each Guarantor
that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee shall be entitled to a
contribution from each other Guarantor in a PRO RATA amount based on the net
assets of each Guarantor, determined in accordance with GAAP.

     Section 2.04 RELEASE OF GUARANTOR. A Guarantor shall be released from all
of its obligations under its Guarantee if:

     (i)  the Guarantor has sold all of its assets or the Successor Company and
          its Restricted Subsidiaries have sold all of the Capital Stock of the
          Guarantor owned by them, in each case in a transaction in compliance
          with the terms of the Indenture (including Sections 4.10 and 5.01
          thereof);

     (ii) the Guarantor merges with or into or consolidates with, or transfers
          all or substantially all of its assets to, the Successor Company or
          another Guarantor in a transaction in compliance with Section 5.01 of
          the Indenture; or

     (iii) the Guarantor is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance
          with the terms of the Indenture (including Section 4.07 thereof);

and in each such case, the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to such transactions have been complied
with and that such release is authorized and permitted hereunder and under the
Indenture.

                                       5
<PAGE>

     If all of the conditions to release contained in this Section 2.04 and the
Indenture have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute any documents
reasonably requested by the Successor Company or any Guarantor in order to
evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee
endorsed on the Notes and under Article Ten of the Indenture.

     Section 2.05 ASSUMPTION OF TERMS OF THE INDENTURE. Each New Guarantor
hereby assumes, agrees to be bound and shall have the benefit of all obligations
and terms of the Indenture applicable to a Guarantor.

                                  ARTICLE III

GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
AS APPLIED TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINICPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE
APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

     Section 3.04 SUCCESSORS. All agreements of the Successor Company in this
Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors. All
agreements of each of the Guarantors in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the

successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture
shall bind its successors.

     Section 3.05 MULTIPLE COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign multiple

Fourth Supplemental Indenture or any of the terms or provisions hereof, (ii) the
proper authorization hereof by the Successor Company and each Guarantor by
corporate action or otherwise, (iii) the due execution hereof by the Successor
Company and each Guarantor, (iv) the consequences (direct or indirect and

filing of any and all such documents and instruments as may be necessary to
continue such designation and appointment of CT Corporation System, in full
force and effect so long as the Indenture shall be in full force and effect;
