                                  ARTICLE TWO
                                    THE NOTES

Section 2.01      FORM AND DATING.

                  (a) GENERAL. The Notes and the Trustee's certificate of
authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A1 or A2 hereto.
The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock
exchange rule or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.
The Notes shall be (i) initially issued in registered, global form without
interest coupons and (ii) only shall be in minimum denominations of $1,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

                  The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall
constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the
Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this
Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.
However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express
provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and
be controlling.

                  (b) GLOBAL NOTES. Notes issued in global form shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A1 or A2 attached hereto (including the
Global Note Legend thereon and the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the
Global Note" attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A1 attached hereto (but without the Global
Note Legend thereon and without the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the
Global Note" attached thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such of the
outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it
shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to
time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as
appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global
Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the
Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required
by Section 2.07 hereof.

                  (c) TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTES. Notes offered and sold in reliance
on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S
Temporary Global Note, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of
the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for The Depository
Trust Company ("DTC") in New York, New York, and registered in the name of the
Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated
agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the
Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Restricted
Period shall be terminated upon the receipt by the Trustee of (i) a written
certificate from Euroclear and Clearstream certifying that they have received
certification of Beneficial Ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount
at maturity of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note by non-U.S. persons
(except to the extent of any Beneficial Owners thereof who acquired an interest
therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and who shall take delivery of a
beneficial ownership interest in a 144A Global Note bearing a Private Placement
Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.07(a)(ii) hereof), and (ii) an
Officers' Certificate from the Company. Following the termination of the
Restricted Period, beneficial


                                      21
<Page>


interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall be exchanged for
beneficial interests in Regulation S Permanent Global Notes pursuant to the
Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of Regulation S
Permanent Global Notes, the Trustee shall cancel the Regulation S Temporary
Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary
Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Notes may from time to time
be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee
and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with
transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.

                  (d) EUROCLEAR AND CLEARSTREAM PROCEDURES APPLICABLE. The
provisions of the "Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System" and "Terms and
Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear" and the "General Terms and Conditions of
Cedel Bank" and "Customer Handbook" of Clearstream shall be applicable to
transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and
the Regulation S Permanent Global Notes that are held by Participants through
Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.02      EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION.

                  One Officer of the Company shall sign the Notes for the
Company by manual or facsimile signature.

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

                  A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the
Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

                  The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

                  The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed
by one Officer of the Company (an "AUTHENTICATION ORDER"), authenticate Notes
for original issue with an unlimited maximum aggregate principal amount, of
which $125 million will be issued on the date of this Indenture.

                  The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to
the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an
Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03      METHODS OF RECEIVING PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES.

                  If a Holder of Notes has given wire transfer instructions to
the Company, the Company shall pay all principal, interest and premium and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on that Holder's Notes in accordance with those
instructions. All other payments on Notes shall be made at the office or agency
of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New


                                      22
<Page>


York unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to
the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders.

Section 2.04      REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT.

                  The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may
be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("REGISTRAR") and an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("PAYING AGENT"). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.
The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional
paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term
"Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party
to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

                  The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with
respect to the Global Notes.

                  The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the
Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global
Notes.

Section 2.05      PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST.

                  The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the
Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the
payment of principal, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the
Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any
such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment
over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or
one of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a
separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as
Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the
Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.06      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 all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).
If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee
at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such
other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as
of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses
of the Holders of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA
Section 312(a).

not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another
nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a
successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes
shall be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if (i) the Company
delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or
unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor
Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of
such notice from the Depositary; (ii) the Company in its sole discretion
determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged
for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the
Trustee; PROVIDED that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Note
be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes prior to (x) the expiration of
the Restricted Period and (y) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates
required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act; or (iii)
there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with
respect to the Notes. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (i),
(ii) or (iii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the
Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or
replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.08 and 2.11 hereof.
Except as otherwise provided above in this Section 2.07(a), every Note
authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any
portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.07 or Section 2.08 or 2.11 hereof,
shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided
in this Section 2.07(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be
transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.07(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

                  (b) TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN THE
GLOBAL NOTES. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global
Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests
in the Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer
comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities
Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require
compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as
one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

                  (i)      TRANSFER OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN THE SAME GLOBAL

         transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a
         beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance
         with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement
         Legend; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that prior to the expiration of the
         Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation
         S Temporary Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the
         account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser).
         Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred
         to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
         interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. Except as required pursuant to
         the Private Placement Legend, no written


                                      24
<Page>


         orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the
         Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.07(b)(i).

                  (ii)     ALL OTHER TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF BENEFICIAL
         INTERESTS IN GLOBAL NOTES. In connection with all transfers and
         exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section
         2.07(b)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must
         deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a
         Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in
         accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to
         credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global
         Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or
         exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable
         Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to
         be credited with such increase or (B) (1) a written order from a
         Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in
         accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to
         cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the
         beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions
         given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information
         regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be
         registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above;
         PROVIDED that in no event shall Definitive Notes be issued upon the
         transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in the Regulation S
         Temporary Global Note prior to (x) the expiration of the Restricted
         Period and (y) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates
         required pursuant to Rule 903 under the Securities Act. Upon
         consummation of an Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance with
         Section 2.07(f) hereof, the requirements of this Section 2.07(b)(ii)
         shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon receipt by the Registrar of
         the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal delivered by
         the Holder of such beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes.
         Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange
         of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and
         the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee
         shall adjust the principal amount at maturity of the relevant Global
         Notes pursuant to Section 2.07(h) hereof.

                  (iii)    TRANSFER OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS TO ANOTHER
         RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTE. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global
         Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the
         form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the
         transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.07(b)(ii) above
         and the Registrar receives the following:

                           (A)      if the transferee shall take delivery in the
                  form of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, then
                  the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of
                  Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1)
                  thereof; and

                           (B)      if the transferee shall take delivery in the
                  form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary
                  Global Note or Regulation S Permanent Global Note, then the
                  transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B
                  hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof.

         RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTE FOR BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN THE UNRESTRICTED
         GLOBAL NOTE. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be
         exchanged by any Holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an
         Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery
         thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
         Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of
         Section 2.07(b)(ii) above and:

                           (A)      such exchange or transfer is effected
                  pursuant to the Exchange Offer in accordance with the
                  Registration Rights Agreement and the Holder of the beneficial
                  interest to be transferred, in the case of an exchange, or the
                  transferee, in the case of a transfer, certifies in the
                  applicable Letter of Transmittal that it is not (1) a
                  Broker-Dealer, (2) a Person participating in the distribution
                  of the Exchange Notes or (3) a Person who is an affiliate (as

                           (B)      such transfer is effected pursuant to the

                           (D)      the Registrar receives the following:

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

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

                           and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph
                           (D), if the Registrar so requests or if the
                           Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of

         the Holder thereof for an Unrestricted Definitive Note or transferred

                                    (1)      if the Holder of such Restricted
                           Definitive Notes proposes to exchange such Notes for
                           an Unrestricted Definitive Note, a certificate from
                           such Holder in the form of Exhibit C hereto,

                           certifications in item (4) thereof;

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

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

                  (f) EXCHANGE OFFER. Upon the occurrence of the Exchange Offer
in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall issue

aggregate principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Notes to be
reduced accordingly, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Persons designated by the Holders of Definitive
Notes so accepted Definitive Notes in the appropriate principal amount. Any
Notes that remain outstanding after the consummation of the Exchange Offer, and
Exchange Notes issued in connection with the Exchange Offer, shall be treated as
a single class of securities under this Indenture.

                  (g) LEGENDS. The following legends shall appear on the face of

                  FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT
                  PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. THE HOLDER OF THE

                  ISSUER THAT (A) SUCH SECURITY MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR

                  REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS (THE FORM OF WHICH CAN BE
                  OBTAINED FROM THE TRUSTEE) AND, IF SUCH TRANSFER IS IN
                  RESPECT OF AN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOTES LESS THAN
                  $100,000, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER
                  THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES
                  ACT, OR (e) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE
                  REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND BASED
                  UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF THE ISSUER SO REQUESTS), (ii)
                  TO THE ISSUER, OR (iii) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
                  REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE
                  WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE
                  UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION, AND (B)
                  THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO,
                  NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER FROM IT OF THE SECURITY AS EVIDENCED
                  HEREBY OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN (A) ABOVE.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or Definitive Note
         issued pursuant to subparagraph (b)(iv), (c)(iii), (c)(iv), (d)(ii),
         (d)(iii), (e)(ii), (e)(iii) or (f) to this Section 2.07 (and all Notes

         Private Placement Legend.

                  (i)      GLOBAL NOTE LEGEND. Each Global Note shall bear a
legend in substantially the following form:

                  AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY
                  CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH
                  NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION
                  2.07 OF THE INDENTURE, (II) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE

                  2.07(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE

                  WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY.

                  (i)      REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE LEGEND. The
Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the
following form:

                  THE RIGHTS ATTACHING TO THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL
                  NOTE, AND THE CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING ITS EXCHANGE
                  FOR CERTIFICATED NOTES, ARE AS SPECIFIED IN THE INDENTURE (AS
                  DEFINED HEREIN). NEITHER THE HOLDER NOR THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS
                  OF THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE ENTITLED
                  TO RECEIVE PAYMENT OF INTEREST HEREON.

                  (j) CANCELLATION AND/OR ADJUSTMENT OF GLOBAL NOTES. At such
time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged
for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased
or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to
or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof.
At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global
Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof
in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive
Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be
reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the
Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such
reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred
to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest
in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly
and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the
Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

                  (k) GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES.

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

                  (ii)     No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a
beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar


                                      35
<Page>


governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such
transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or
transfer pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.05 hereof).

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

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

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

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

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

                  (viii)   All certifications, certificates and Opinions of
Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.07
to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile
with the original to follow by first class mail.

Section 2.08      REPLACEMENT NOTES.

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


                                      36
<Page>


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

Section 2.09      OUTSTANDING NOTES.

                  The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to
it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected
by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in
this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, a
Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of
the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section
3.07(b) hereof.

                  If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it
ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

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

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

Section 2.10      TREASURY NOTES.

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

Section 2.11      TEMPORARY NOTES.

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

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

Section 2.12      CANCELLATION.

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

Section 2.13      DEFAULTED INTEREST.

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

Section 2.14      CUSIP NUMBERS.

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

                                 ARTICLE THREE
                           REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT;

Section 3.01      NOTICES TO TRUSTEE.

                  If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee,
at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an
Officers' Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this


                                      38
<Page>

Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption
date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the
redemption price.

Section 3.02      SELECTION OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED.

                  If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed
or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the
Notes to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders of the Notes in compliance
with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on
which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a PRO RATA
basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair
and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes
to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from

the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount at maturity thereof to be redeemed. No
Notes in amounts of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notes and portions
of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000;

provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also
apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

                  (b)      the redemption price;

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

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

                  (e)      that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered
         to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price and become due on
         the date fixed for redemption;


                                      39

<Page>

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

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

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

                  At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the
redemption date, an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such
notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided
in the preceding paragraph. The notice, if mailed in the manner provided herein
shall be presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such
notice.

Section 3.04      EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

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

Section 3.05      DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

                  On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption

redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to
the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the
Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and
accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.

                  If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding
paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest and Liquidated Damages, if
any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for
redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or
prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest
shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close
of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be
so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to
comply with the preceding paragraph, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any
shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such
principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such
unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section
4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06      NOTES REDEEMED IN PART.

                  Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company

the Company a new Note equal in


                                      40

         Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before
         the Purchase Date;

permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.07      RESTRICTED PAYMENTS.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

                  (1)      declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment
         or distribution on account of the Company's or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries' Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any
         payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the
         Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or
         indirect holders of the Company's or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries' Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than
         (a) dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than
         Disqualified Stock) of the Company or (b) to the Company or a
         Restricted Subsidiary of the Company);

                  (2)      purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for
         value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or
         consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the
         Company, any direct or indirect parent of the Company or any Subsidiary
         of the Company (other than a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary);

                  (3)      make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase,
         redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any
         Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Notes or the Subsidiary
         Guarantees, except a payment of interest or principal at the Stated
         Maturity thereof; or

                  (4)      make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and
         other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being
         collectively referred to as "RESTRICTED PAYMENTS"),


                                      47

unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

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

                  (2)      the Company would, at the time of such Restricted
         Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted
         Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter
         period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional
         Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth
         in the first paragraph of Section 4.09; and

                  (3)      such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate
         amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its
         Restricted Subsidiaries after the date hereof (excluding Restricted
         Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4) and (5) of the next
         succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

                           (a)      50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the
                  Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from
                  October 1, 2001 to the end of the Company's most recently
                  ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements
                  are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if
                  such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit,
                  less 100% of such deficit), PLUS

                           (b)      100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds
                  received by the Company since the date of this Indenture as a
                  contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or
                  sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than
                  Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible
                  or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or
                  exchangeable debt securities of the Company that have been
                  converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other
                  than, in each case in this clause (b), Equity Interests (or
                  Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of
                  the Company); PLUS

                           (c)      to the extent that any Restricted Investment
                  that was made after the date hereof is sold for cash or
                  otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of (i) the
                  cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted
                  Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (ii) the
                  initial amount of such Restricted Investment; PLUS

                           (d)      $5.0 million.

                  So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would
be caused thereby, the preceding provisions will not prohibit:

                  (1)      the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the
         date of declaration thereof, if at said date of declaration such
         payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;


                                      48

<Page>

                  (2)      the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or
         other acquisition of any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or
         any Guarantor or of any Equity Interests of the Company in exchange
         for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent
         sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests
         of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock); PROVIDED that the
         amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such
         redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition
         shall be excluded from clause (3) (b) of the preceding paragraph;

                  (3)      the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other
         acquisition of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any
         Guarantor with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of Permitted
         Refinancing Indebtedness;

                  (4)      the repurchase by the Company of its Common Stock
         held of record by WHX Entertainment Corp. ("WHX") contemporaneously
         with the original issuance of the Notes and with a portion of the Net
         Proceeds therefrom in an amount not to exceed $105.0 million (including
         any amount associated with the related non-compete provision) pursuant
         to the Stock Redemption Agreement; and

                  (5)      the payment of dividends or other distributions by
         the Company pursuant to a tax sharing agreement providing for payment
         by the Company to its shareholders or other owners of Capital Stock
         with respect to any period of amounts representing not more than the
         amount of tax that would be payable by the Company for such period had
         the Company and its Subsidiaries filed a separate consolidated or
         combined tax return as a Subchapter C corporation for the relevant
         taxing jurisdiction (less any tax directly paid by such Persons with
         respect to such period).

                  The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall
be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s)
or securities proposed to be transferred or issued to or by the Company or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair
market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this
Section 4.07 shall be determined by the Board of Directors, whose resolution
with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Board of Directors'
determination must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an
accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the
fair market value exceeds $10.0 million. Not later than the date of making any
Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth
the basis upon which the calculations required by this Section 4.07 were
computed, together with a copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by
this Indenture.

Section 4.08      DIVIDEND AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING RESTRICTED
                  SUBSIDIARIES.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or
become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the
ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:


                                      49

<Page>

                  (1)      pay dividends or make any other distributions on its
         Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or
         with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by,
         its profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries;

                  (2)      make loans or advances to the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries; or

                  (3)      transfer any of its properties or assets to the
         Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

                  However, the restrictions above shall not apply to
encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

                  (1)      the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date of this
         Indenture and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals,
         increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings
         thereof, PROVIDED that such amendments, modifications, restatements,
         renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or
         refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those
         contained in the Credit Agreement, as in effect on the date of this
         Indenture;

                  (2)      this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary
         Guarantees;

                  (3)      applicable law;

                  (4)      any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital
         Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to
         the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in
         contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is
         not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any
         Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person,
         so acquired, PROVIDED that, in the case of Indebtedness, such
         Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be
         incurred;

                  (5)      customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered
         into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past
         practices;

                  (6)      purchase money obligations for property acquired in
         the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on the
         property so acquired of the nature described in clause (3) of the first
         paragraph of Section 4.08;

                  (7)      any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a
         Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted
         Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

                  (8)      Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, PROVIDED that the
         restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted
         Refinancing Indebtedness are no


                                      50

<Page>

         more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the
         agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced; and

                  (9)      Permitted Liens securing Indebtedness that limit the
         right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Lien.

Section 4.09      INCURRENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue,
assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable,
contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "INCUR") any
Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any
Disqualified Stock, and the Company will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to issue any Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), if
the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company's most recently ended four full
fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available
immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred
would have been at least 2.00 to 1 prior to December 31, 2004 and 2.25 to 1
thereafter, determined in each case on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma
application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness
had been incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

                  So long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
would be caused thereby, the first paragraph of this Section 4.09 will not
prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness
(collectively, "PERMITTED DEBT"):

                  (1)      the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness under
         the Credit Agreement (and the incurrence by the Guarantors of
         guarantees thereof) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time
         outstanding (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal
         amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its
         Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed $50.0 million, LESS
         the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by the
         Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to repay any term Indebtedness
         under the Credit Agreement (and, in the case of any revolving credit
         Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to effect a corresponding
         commitment reduction thereunder) pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof;

                  (2)      the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of
         Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Subsidiary
         Guarantees to be issued on the date hereof and the Exchange Notes and
         the related Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the
         Registration Rights Agreement;

                  (3)      the incurrence by the Company or any of the
         Guarantors of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or
         the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace
         Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) permitted to be
         incurred under the first paragraph of this Section 4.09 or clauses (2)
         or (3) of this paragraph;


                                      51

<Page>

                  (4)      the incurrence by the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among
         the Company and any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries;
         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that:

                           (a)      if the Company or any Guarantor is the
                  obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be
                  expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of
                  all Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case of the
                  Company, or the Subsidiary Guarantee, in the case of a
                  Guarantor; and

                           (b)      (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of
                  Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being
                  held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted
                  Subsidiary thereof and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any
                  such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company
                  or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary thereof, shall be
                  deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such
                  Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as
                  the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (4);

                  (5)      the incurrence by the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for
         the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any
         Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be
         outstanding;

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

                  (7)      the accrual of interest, the accretion or
         amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on
         any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same
         terms will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for the
         purposes of this Section 4.09; PROVIDED, in each such case, that the
         amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued;
         and

                  (8)      the incurrence by the Company of additional
         Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as
         applicable) at any time outstanding, not to exceed $10.0 million.

                  For the purposes of determining compliance with this Section
4.09, in the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more
than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through
(8) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this
Section 4.09, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of
Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence in any manner that complies with this
Section 4.09.

Section 4.10      ASSET SALES.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:


                                      52

<Page>

                  (1)      the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case
         may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least
         equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests
         issued, sold or otherwise disposed of;

                  (2)      such fair market value is determined by the Company's
         Board of Directors and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of
         Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the
         Trustee; and

                  (3)      at least 75% of the consideration therefor received
         by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash.
         For the purposes of this Section 4.10, each of the following shall be
         deemed to be cash:

                           (a)      any liabilities (as shown on the Company's
                  or such Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet) of
                  the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than
                  contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms
                  subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that
                  are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a
                  customary written novation agreement that releases the Company
                  or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and

                           (b)      any securities, notes or other obligations
                  received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from
                  such transferee that are promptly, but in any event within
                  than 30 days of receipt, converted by the Company or such
                  Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash
                  received in that conversion).

                  Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an
Asset Sale, the Company may apply such Net Proceeds at its option: (i) to repay
revolving credit Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and correspondingly
reduce commitments with respect thereto; (ii) to acquire all or substantially
all of the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, another Permitted
Business; (iii) to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful in a
Permitted Business; or (iv) to acquire other long-term assets in or that are
used or useful in a Permitted Business.

                  Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the
Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest
such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

                  Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or
invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute "EXCESS
PROCEEDS." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million,
the Company will make an offer to purchase (an "ASSET SALE OFFER") to all
Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is PARI PASSU with
the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture
with respect to offers to purchase with the proceeds of sales of assets to
purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other PARI PASSU
Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price
in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, and
will be payable


                                      53
<Page>

in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale
Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and
such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer
exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and
such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based
on the principal amount of Notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness
tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess
Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

                  The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder
to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each
repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sales
provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such
conflict.


Section 4.11      TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any
property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction,
contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the
benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an "AFFILIATE TRANSACTION"), unless:

                  (1)      such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no
         less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary
         than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by
         the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

                  (2)      the Company delivers to the Trustee:

                           (a)      with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
                  series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
                  consideration in excess of $1.0 million, a resolution of the
                  Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate
                  certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this
                  Section 4.11;

                           (b)      with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
                  series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
                  consideration in excess of $5.0 million, either (x) a
                  resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers'
                  Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction has
                  been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of
                  the Board of Directors or (y) an opinion as to the fairness to
                  the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate
                  Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an
                  accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national
                  standing; and


                                      54

<Page>

                           (c)      with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
                  series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
                  consideration in excess of $10.0 million, an opinion as to the
                  fairness to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such
                  Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by
                  an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of
                  national standing.

                  The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate
Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior
paragraph:

                  (1)      transactions between or among the Company and/or its
         Restricted Subsidiaries;

                  (2)      payment of reasonable directors fees to Persons who
         are not otherwise Affiliates of the Company;

                  (3)      any Permitted Investment under clause (vii) of the
         definition thereof and any Restricted payments that are permitted by
         Section 4.07 hereof;

                  (4)      any tax sharing agreement and payments pursuant
         thereto among the Company and its Subsidiaries and any Affiliate in
         amounts not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture;

                  (5)      the Administrative Services Agreement, dated as of
         the date of the Indenture, between the Company and its parent companies
         and any amendment thereto (so long as such amendment is not
         disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect); and

                  (6)      the Advisory Services Agreement, dated as of the date
         of the Indenture, between the Company and the Parent.

Section 4.12      LIENS.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or
otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind on
any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, or any
proceeds, income or profits thereon, or assign or convey any right to receive
income therefrom, except Permitted Liens, unless all payments due under the
Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with (or in
the case of Subordinated Indebtedness, prior to or senior thereto, with the same
relative priority the Notes shall have with respect to such Subordinated
Indebtedness) the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are
no longer secured by a Lien.

Section 4.13      BUSINESS ACTIVITIES.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to
such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the Company nor any


                                      55

<Page>

of its Subsidiaries is permitted by the Indenture to conduct a Gaming
Business in any gaming or racing jurisdiction in which the Company or that
Subsidiary is not licensed on the date of the Indenture if the holders of the
Notes would be required to be licensed as a result thereof; PROVIDED that the
provisions described in this sentence will not prohibit the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries from conducting a Gaming Business in any jurisdiction that
does not require the licensing, finding of suitability or qualification of
all of the Holders of the Notes, but reserves the discretionary right to
require the licensing or qualification of any Holder of Notes.

Section 4.14      OFFER TO REPURCHASE UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL.

                  (a)      If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes
shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal
to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes pursuant to
the offer described below (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER") at an offer price in
cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date
of purchase (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT"). Within 20 days following any
Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating
(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14
and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment and (2) the purchase
price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later
than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT
DATE"), and containing the other provisions required by Section 3.10. 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 repurchase of the Notes as
a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture
relating to such Change of Control Offer, the Company shall comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have
breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

                  (b)      By 12:00 p.m. (noon) Eastern Time on the Change of
Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for
payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change
of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the
Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so
tendered and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so
accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal
amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying
Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of
Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and
mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal
in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any;
provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an
integral multiple thereof. Prior to compliance with this Section 4.14, but in
any event within 90 days following a Change of Control, the Company will repay
all outstanding Senior Debt and, where applicable, obtain the requisite
consents, if any, under all agreements governing outstanding Senior Debt to
permit the repurchase of Notes required by this Section 4.14. The Company shall
publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as
practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

                  (c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 4.14, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control
Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control
Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the
requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 and Section 3.10 hereof and all
other provisions of this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made
by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under
such Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.15      LIMITATION ON ISSUANCES AND SALES OF EQUITY INTERESTS IN
                  RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose
of any Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to any
Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company), unless:

                  (1)      such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other
         disposition is of all the Equity Interests in such Restricted
         Subsidiary; and

                  (2)      the cash Net Proceeds from such transfer, conveyance,
         sale, lease or other disposition are applied in accordance with Section
         4.10.

                  In addition, the Company will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company to issue any of its Equity Interests (other than, if
necessary, shares of its Capital Stock constituting directors' qualifying
shares) to any Person other than to the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company.

Section 4.16      DESIGNATION OF RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES.

                  The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary
to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default.
If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the
aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed
to be a Restricted Investment made as of the time of such designation and that
designation will only be permitted if such Investment would be permitted at that
time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time
designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; PROVIDED
that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such
Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such
Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09, calculated on a pro forma basis as
if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference
period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following
such designation.

Section 4.17      PAYMENTS FOR CONSENT.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the


                                      57

<Page>

terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration
is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes 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 4.18      LIMITATIONS ON ISSUANCES OF GUARANTEES OF INDEBTEDNESS.

                  The Company will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to Guarantee or pledge any assets to
secure the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company unless such
Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental
indenture providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the Notes by such
Restricted Subsidiary, which Guarantee shall be senior to or PARI PASSU with
such Subsidiary's Guarantee of or pledge to secure such other Indebtedness.

                  Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Subsidiary
Guarantee will provide by its terms that it will be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged under the circumstances described in
Section 10.05. The form of the Subsidiary Guarantee is attached as Exhibit D.

Section 4.19      SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction;
PROVIDED that the Company may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if:

                  (1)      the Company could have incurred Indebtedness in an
         amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and
         leaseback transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in the
         first paragraph of Section 4.09;

                  (2)      the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback
         transaction are at least equal to the fair market value, as determined
         in good faith by the Board of Directors and set forth in an Officers'
         Certificate delivered to the Trustee, of the property that is the
         subject of that sale and leaseback transaction; and

                  (3)      the transfer of assets in that sale and leaseback
         transaction is permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of
         such transaction in compliance with Section 4.10.

Section 4.20      ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES.

                  If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires
or creates another Domestic Subsidiary on or after the date of this Indenture,
then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary must become a Guarantor
and execute a supplemental indenture (in the form of Exhibit E hereto providing
for the Guarantee of the payment of the Notes by such Domestic Subsidiary on the
same basis as the Guarantors at the time of the execution of such supplemental
indenture) and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee within 10 Business
Days of the date on which it was acquired or created.

                                   SUCCESSORS

Section 5.01      MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS.

                  Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary may,
directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person
(whether or not the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is the surviving
corporation); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all
or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another
Person; unless:

                  (1)      either: (a) the Company or such Restricted
         Subsidiary, as the case may be, is the surviving corporation; or (b)
         the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if
         other than the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary) or to which such
         sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have
         been made is a corporation or limited liability company organized or
         existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the
         District of Columbia; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Person formed by
         or surviving such consolidation or merger is a limited liability
         company, then there shall be a Restricted Subsidiary of such Person
         which shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
         the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and a
         co-obligor of the Notes;

                  (2)      the Person formed by or surviving any such
         consolidation or merger (if other than the Company or such Restricted
         Subsidiary) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer,
         conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all the
         obligations of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (if such
         Restricted Subsidiary is a Guarantor), as the case may be, under the
         Notes, this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to
         agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

                  (3)      immediately after such transaction no Default or
         Event of Default exists; and

                  (4)      if such transaction involves the Company, the Company
         or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
         (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment,
         transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made will, on
         the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and
         any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the
         beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur
         at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge
         Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.09;

                  (5)      the transaction would not require any holder of Notes
         to be found suitable to obtain a Gaming License or be qualified under
         the laws of any applicable gaming or racing jurisdiction which such
         holder would not be required to do in the absence of such transaction,
         PROVIDED that a transaction involving a jurisdiction that does not
         require the licensing, finding of suitability or qualification of all
         of the holders of the Notes, but


                                      59

         reserves the discretionary right to require the licensing, finding of
         suitability or qualification of any holder of Notes, will not be
         prohibited under the terms of this clause (5); and

                  (6)      the transaction would not result in the loss of any
         qualification or any material license necessary for any Gaming Business
         then operated by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

                  In addition, neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary
may, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its properties or
assets, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person. This Section
5.01 will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition of assets between or among the Company and any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries.

         its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by
         the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such
         Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of
         this Indenture, if that default:

                           (a)      is caused by a failure to pay principal of,

                  Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "PAYMENT

         together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under
         which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has
         been so accelerated, aggregates $5.0 million or more;

                  (7)      except as permitted this Indenture, any Subsidiary
         Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable
         or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect

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

                           (i)      is for relief against the Company or any of
                  its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an involuntary case, or

                           (ii)     appoints a custodian of the Company or any
                  of its Restricted Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all
                  of the property of the Company or any of its Restricted
                  Subsidiaries, or

                           (iii)    orders the liquidation of the Company or any
                  of its Restricted Subsidiaries;


                                      61

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

Section 6.02      ACCELERATION.

                  If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare all principal, premium, if any, accrued interest
and Liquidated Damages, if any, of the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.
If any Event of Default specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.01 occurs
and is continuing, then the principal, premium, if any, accrued interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes shall IPSO FACTO become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other action on the part
of the Trustee or any Holder.

                  If any Event of Default occurs by reason of any willful action
or inaction taken or not taken by the Company or on its behalf with the
intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to
pay if it then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof,
then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become
and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law. If an Event
of Default occurs during any time that the Notes are outstanding, by reason of
any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of the Company
with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes, then,
the premium specified in this Indenture shall also become immediately due and
payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes.

Section 6.03      OTHER REMEDIES.

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

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

Section 6.04      WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

                  Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of
all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the
Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment
default that resulted from such acceleration). The Company shall deliver to the
Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that the


                                      62

<Page>

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 Notes, respectively. 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 Notes, as
permitted by the TIA. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

Section 6.05      CONTROL BY MAJORITY.

                  Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any
trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines
may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may
involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may withhold from Holders
of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or
Liquidated Damages, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest.

Section 6.06      LIMITATION ON SUITS.

                  A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture,
or the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees only if:

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

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

                  (c)      such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and,
         if requested, provide to the Trustee security and indemnity
         satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense that
         might be incurred by it in connection with the request or direction;

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

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

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

Section 6.07      RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF NOTES TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.

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

Section 6.08      COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.

                  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its
own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole
amount of principal of, premium, if any, interest, and Liquidated Damages, if
any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and
premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest and Liquidated Damages, if
any, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09      TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

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

         due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation,
         expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee

         any, interest, and Liquidated Damages, if any, respectively; and

                  Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent
         jurisdiction shall direct.

                  The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to Holders of Notes 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 a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by
any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit,
and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a
Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more
than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

                                 ARTICLE SEVEN
                                     TRUSTEE

Section 7.01      DUTIES OF TRUSTEE.

                  (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

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

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


                                      65

<Page>

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

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

                  (i)      this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph
         (b) of this Section 7.01;

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

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

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

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

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

Section 7.02      CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

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

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

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

<Page>

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

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

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

                  (g)      The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any
Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such event is sent to the
Trustee in accordance with Section 11.02 hereof, and such notice references the
Notes.

                  (h)      Except with respect to Sections 4.01, 4.03 and 4.04,
the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Company
with respect to the covenants contained in Article Four.

                  (i)      Delivery of reports, information and documents to the
Trustee under Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's
receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company's compliance with any of the covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the Officers'
Certificates).

Section 7.03      INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

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

Section 7.04      TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER.

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

Section 7.05      NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

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

Section 7.06      REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS OF THE NOTES.

                  Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15
following the date hereof, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the
Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of
such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event
described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee
also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit
by mail all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).

                  A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the
Holders of Notes shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and
each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA
Section 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes
are listed on any stock exchange or any delisting thereof.

Section 7.07      COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY.

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

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

<Page>

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

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

                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(9) or (10) hereof occurs, the
expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses
of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any Bankruptcy Law.

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

Section 7.08      REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE.

                  A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

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

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

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

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

                  (d)      the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

                  If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company.
                  If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days
after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the
Company, or the Holders of Notes of at least 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Company any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.


                                      69
<Page>


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

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

Section 7.09      SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC.

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

Section 7.10      ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION.

                  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition.

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

Section 7.11      PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.

or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated
therein. The Trustee hereby waives any right to set-off any claim that it may
have against the Company in any capacity (other than as Trustee and Paying
Agent) against any of the assets of the Company held by the Trustee; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if the Trustee is or becomes a lender of any other Indebtedness
permitted hereunder to be PARI PASSU with the Notes, then such waiver shall not
apply to the extent of such Indebtedness.

Section 8.01      OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

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

Section 8.02      LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to
have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes
and all obligations of the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged
with respect to their obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees on the date
the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "LEGAL DEFEASANCE").
For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors
shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented
by the outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees, respectively, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05
hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b)
below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this
Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder:

                  (a)      the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive
         payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and
         Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due
         from the trust referred to below,

                  (b)      the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes
         under Article Two and Section 4.02 hereof,

                  (c)      the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of
         the Trustee hereunder and the Company's obligations in connection
         herewith, and

                  (d)      this Article Eight.

                  Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Company may
exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03      COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released
from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections


                                      71
<Page>


4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19
and 4.20 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date
the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter,
"COVENANT DEFEASANCE"), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not
"outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "outstanding"
for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall
not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose,
Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the
Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any
term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether
directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any
such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall
not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof,
but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise
under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through (6) shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04      CONDITIONS TO LEGAL OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

                  The following shall be the conditions to the application of
either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

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

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

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


                                      72
<Page>


         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 is continuing either (i) on the date of such deposit or (ii)
         insofar as Sections 6.01(9) and (10) hereof are concerned, at any time
         in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

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

                  (f)      the Company must have delivered to the Trustee an
         Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, assuming no intervening
         bankruptcy of the Company or any Guarantor between the date of deposit
         and the 91st day following the deposit and assuming that no Holder is
         an "insider" of the Company under applicable bankruptcy law, 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 laws affecting creditors' rights generally;

                  (g)      the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
         Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with
         the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors
         of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or
         defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and

                  (h)      the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
         precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance
         have been complied with.

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

                  Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable
Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section
8.05, the "TRUSTEE") pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the
outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all
sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and
Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.

                  The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal
and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other
charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.


                                      73
<Page>


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

Section 8.06      REPAYMENT TO THE COMPANY.

                  Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or
then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look
only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the
Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York
Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be
less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.07      REINSTATEMENT.

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

                                  ARTICLE NINE
                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01      WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES.

                  Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company,
the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the
Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note:


                                      74
<Page>


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

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

                  (c)      to provide for the assumption of the Company's or any
         Guarantor's obligations to the Holders of the Notes in the case of a
         merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the
         Company's or such Guarantor's assets;

                  (d)      to release any Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance
         with the provisions of this Indenture or provide for additional
         Guarantors;

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

                  (f)      to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to
         effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;
         or

                  (g)      to provide for one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of
         the Company to be co-obligors of the Notes.

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

Section 9.02      WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES.

                  Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company,
the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the
Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding (including,
without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or
tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and
6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any
provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
(including Additional Notes, if any) (including, without limitation, consents
obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer
for, Notes).

                  The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record
date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any
indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such
record date, or its duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; PROVIDED that unless such consent shall
have become


                                      75
<Page>


effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to
the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously
given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
cancelled and of no further effect.

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

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

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

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

                  (b)      reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity
         of any Note or alter the provisions, or waive any payment, with respect
         to the redemption of the Notes;

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

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

                  (e)      make any Note payable in money other than U.S.
         dollars;

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


                                      76
<Page>


                  (g)      release any Guarantor from any of its obligations
         under its Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance
         with the terms of this Indenture;

                  (h)      impair the right to institute suit for the
         enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Notes or the
         Subsidiary Guarantees;

                  (i)      amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company
         to make and consummate an Asset Sale Offer with respect to any Asset
         Sale in accordance with Section 4.10 or the obligation of the Company
         to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a
         Change of Control in accordance with Section 4.14, including, in each
         case, amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto;

                  (j)      except as otherwise permitted under Article Five,
         consent to the assignment or transfer by the Company or any Guarantor
         of any of their rights or obligations under this Indenture;

                  (k)      amend or modify any of the provisions of this
         Indenture or the related definitions affecting the ranking of the Notes
         or any Subsidiary Guarantee in any manner adverse to the holders of the
         Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee; or

                  (l)      make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver
         provisions.

Section 9.03      COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

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

Section 9.04      REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.

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

Section 9.05      NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES.

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

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

Section 9.06      TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.

                  The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture
or Note authorized pursuant to this Article Nine if the amendment or supplement
does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the
Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture or Note
until its Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or
supplemental indenture or Note, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and
(subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this

                              SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Section 10.01     GUARANTEE.

                  Subject to this Article Ten each of the Guarantors hereby,
jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors
and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture,
the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a)
the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when
due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest
on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful
(subject in all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all
other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or
thereunder 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, that 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 any
performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly
and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that
this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

                  The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder
shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect
to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.
Subject to Section 6.06 hereof, 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 covenant
that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

                  If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or
otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or
the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this
Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated
in full force and effect.

                  Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any
right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations
guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.
Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, 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
hereof for the purposes of this Subsidiary 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 declaration of
acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six hereof, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The
Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying
Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of
the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 10.02     LIMITATION ON GUARANTOR LIABILITY.

                  Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder,
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the
extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be
limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03     EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE.

                  To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section
10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee
substantially in the form included in Exhibit D shall be endorsed by an Officer
of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

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

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

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

                  In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries creates or acquires any new Domestic Subsidiaries subsequent to the
date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.21 hereof, the Company shall
cause such Domestic Subsidiaries to execute supplemental indentures to this
Indenture and Subsidiary Guarantees in accordance with Section 4.21 hereof and
this Article Ten, to the extent applicable.

Section 10.04     GUARANTORS MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC., ON CERTAIN TERMS.

                  Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05, a Guarantor may
not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or
consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the
surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor,
unless:

                  (a)      immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
         no Default or Event of Default exists; and

                  (b)      either:

                           (i)      the Person acquiring the property in any
                  such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving
                  any such consolidation or merger is a corporation, organized
                  or existing under the laws of the United States, any state
                  thereof or the District of Columbia and assumes all the
                  obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its
                  Subsidiary Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement
                  pursuant to a supplemental indenture (in the form of Exhibit E
                  hereto or such other form satisfactory to the Trustee); or

                           (ii)     such sale or other disposition complies with
                  Section 4.10, including the application of the Net Proceeds
                  therefrom.

                  In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance
and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture,
executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee,
of the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual
performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be
performed by a Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be
substituted for a Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein
as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or
all of the Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable
hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all
respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the
Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been
issued at the date of the execution hereof.

                  Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and
notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture
or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor
with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or
conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

Section 10.05     RELEASES FOLLOWING SALE OF ASSETS.

                  Any Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations
under its Subsidiary Guarantee: (i) in connection with any sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor
(including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company, if the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of that Guarantor complies with Section 4.10 hereof including the
application of the Net Proceeds therefrom; (ii) in connection with any sale of
all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before
or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company, if the sale of all such Capital Stock of that Guarantor complies with
Section 4.10 hereof including the application of the Net Proceeds therefrom; and
(iii) if the Company properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Upon delivery by the Company to the
Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof,
the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence
the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary
Guarantee.

                  Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and
interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this
Indenture as provided in this Article Ten.

         for cancellation; or

                  (ii)     all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee
         for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of
         a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable

         non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such

         not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal,

         the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward
         the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the
         case may be.

                  The Company shall deliver an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to
satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

                  Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee shall pay to the
Company from time to time upon its request any cash or Government Securities
held by it as provided in this Section 11.01 which, in the opinion of a

action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "ACT" of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of
a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company if made in the
manner provided in this Section 12.14.

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


                                      86
<Page>


of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner
which the Trustee deems sufficient.

                  (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 12.14, the principal amount and serial numbers of Notes held by any
Holder, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the register of the
Notes maintained by the Registrar as provided in Section 2.04 hereof.

                  (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of the Notes
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a resolution of its Board
of Directors, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders
entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.
Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date
specified in or pursuant to such resolution, which shall be a date not earlier
than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in
connection therewith or the date of the most recent list of Holders forwarded to
the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof and not
later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is
fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders
of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be
Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite
proportion of the then outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented
to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act, and for that purpose the then outstanding Notes shall be computed as
of such record date; PROVIDED that no such authorization, agreement or consent
by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall
become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than
eleven months after the record date.

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

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

Section 12.15     BENEFIT OF INDENTURE.

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

paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance;
PROVIDED that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if
this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof

next succeeding Interest Payment Date; PROVIDED FURTHER that the first Interest
Payment Date shall be June 15, 2002. The Company shall pay interest (including

principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1%
per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue

applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the
extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

                  2.       METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company shall pay interest on
the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the
Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June
1 or December 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are
canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date,
except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated
Damages, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for such purpose in the City of New York maintained for such purposes, or, at
the option of the Company, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,

register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately
available funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest,

N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar.

                  4.       INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an
Indenture dated as of December 19, 2001 ("INDENTURE") among the Company, the
Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such
terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express
provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling. These Notes are an obligation of the Company limited to
$125,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. The Indenture pursuant to which this
Note is issued provides that an unlimited aggregate principal amount of
Additional Notes may be issued thereunder.

                  5.       OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. (a) Except as set forth in
paragraphs 5(b) and 9 below, the Company shall not have the option to redeem the
Notes prior to December 15, 2005. On or after December 15, 2005, the Company

interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the applicable redemption
date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on December 15 of the

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

         2007 and thereafter..................................        100.0000%
</Table>

                  (b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to
December 15, 2004, the Company may redeem up to 20% of the aggregate principal
amount of Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 110.125% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages thereon, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of
one or more Equity Offerings of the Company; PROVIDED that at least 80% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture remains
outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes
held by the Company and its Subsidiaries); and such redemption shall occur
within 60 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

                  6.       REDEMPTION PURSUANT TO GAMING LAW. (a)
Notwithstanding paragraphs 5, 7, 8 and 9, if any Gaming Authority notifies a
Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Notes that such Holder or Beneficial Owner
obtain a license, qualification or finding of suitability under any applicable
gaming or racing law and the Holder or Beneficial Owner does not apply for that
license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being
requested to do so by such Gaming Authority (or such lesser period that may be
required by such Gaming Authority) or if such Holder or Beneficial Owner shall
not be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable gaming or racing
law, then the Company, at its option, may: (i) require such Holder or Beneficial
Owner to dispose of such Holder's or Beneficial Owner's Notes within 30 days, or
any earlier date as may be required by the Gaming Authority, of (A) the
termination of the 30-day period or any shorter period as may be required by a
Gaming Authority, in each case as described above, for the Holder or Beneficial
Owner to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability, or (B)
the receipt of notice from the Gaming Authority that the Holder or


                                     A1-4
<Page>


Beneficial Owner shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable; or (ii)
to redeem the Notes of such Holder or Beneficial Owner at a price equal to
the least of (A) 100% of the principal amount thereof, (B) the price at which
such Holder or Beneficial Owner acquired the Notes, and (C) the fair market
value of the Notes, together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest
and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the earlier of the date of
redemption or such earlier date as may be required by the Gaming Authority or
the date of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Authority, which may
be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption, if so ordered by
such Gaming Authority.

                  (b)      The Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes applying for
a license, qualification or a finding of suitability must pay all costs of the
licenses or investigation for this licensing, qualification or finding of
suitability. The Company is not required to pay or reimburse any Holder or
Beneficial Owner of Notes who is required to apply for any license,
qualification or finding of suitability.

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

                  8.       SELECTION AND NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. If less than all
of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for
redemption as follows: (i) if the Notes are listed, in compliance with the
requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes
are listed, or (ii) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot
or by any method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. No Notes of $1,000
or less may be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first
class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to
each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of
redemption may not be conditional. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only,
the notice of redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name
of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for
redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the
redemption date, interest and liquidated damages, if any, cease to accrue on
Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

                  9.       REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER. (a) Upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to
require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an
integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes pursuant to the offer
described below (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER") at an offer price in cash equal
to 101% of the aggregate principal amount repurchased plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the
"CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT"). Within 20 days following any Change of Control,
the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or
transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase
Notes on the date specified in such notice which shall be no earlier than 30
days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to
the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice.

                  (b)      When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds
$5.0 million, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer, pursuant to Section
4.10 of the Indenture, to all Holders


                                     A1-5
<Page>


of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is PARI PASSU with the
Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with
respect to offers to purchase with the proceeds of sales of assets to
purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other PARI PASSU
Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer
price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of
purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after
consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds
for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness tendered
into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee
shall select the Notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness to be purchased
on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other
PARI PASSU Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer,
the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

                  10.      DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and
fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company is not required
to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is
not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed.

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

                  12.      AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase
of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and any existing Default
or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived
with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal of the Notes then
outstanding and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class (including,
without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or
tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Without the consent of any
Holder of Notes, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes
in addition to or in place of Definitive Notes, to provide for the assumption of
the Company's or any Guarantor's obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of
a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company or any Guarantor, to make any change that would provide any
additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder or to
comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

                  13.      DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. In the case of an Event of
Default, as defined in the Indenture arising from certain events of bankruptcy
or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
all outstanding Notes will become due and


                                     A1-6
<Page>


payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25%
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes
to be due and payable immediately. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to
certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or
power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any
continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default
relating to the payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages, if
any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of
the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the
principal of, the Notes.

                  In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any
willful action or inaction taken or not taken by the Company or on their behalf
with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would
have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to
the optional redemption provisions of the Indenture, an equivalent premium shall
also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law
upon the acceleration of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs during any
time that the Notes are outstanding, by reason of any willful action (or
inaction) taken (or not taken) by the Company or on its behalf with the
intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes, then the
premium specified in the Indenture shall also become immediately due and payable
to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes.

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

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

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

                  17.      ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL
NOTES AND RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to
Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted
Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement dated as of December 19, 2001, between the Company, the Guarantors and
the parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional
Notes, Holders of Additional Notes shall have the rights set forth in one or
more registration rights agreements, if any, between the Company, the Guarantors
and the other parties thereto,

relating to rights given by the Company and the Guarantors to the purchasers
of Additional Notes (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT").

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

                  The Company shall furnish to any Holder upon written request
and without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights
Agreement. Requests may be made to:

                         10 1/8% Senior Notes due 2009

the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the
Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June
1 or December 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are
canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date,
except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated
Damages, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained

Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

                  4.       INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an
Indenture dated as of December 19, 2001 ("INDENTURE") among the Company, the
Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such
terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express
provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling. These Notes are an obligation of the Company limited to
$125,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. The Indenture pursuant to which this
Note is issued provides that an unlimited aggregate principal amount of
Additional Notes may be issued thereunder.

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

         2007 and thereafter..................................      100.0000%
</Table>

                  (b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to
December 15, 2004, the Company may redeem up to 20% of the aggregate principal
amount of Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 110.125% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages thereon, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of
one or more Equity Offerings of the Company; PROVIDED that at least 80% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture remains
outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes
held by the Company and its Subsidiaries); and such redemption shall occur
within 60 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

                  6.       REDEMPTION PURSUANT TO GAMING LAW. (a)
Notwithstanding paragraphs 5, 7, 8 and 9, if any Gaming Authority notifies a
Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Notes that such Holder or Beneficial Owner
obtain a license, qualification or finding of suitability under any applicable
gaming or racing law and the Holder or Beneficial Owner does not apply for that
license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being
requested to do so by such Gaming Authority (or such lesser period that may be
required by such Gaming Authority) or if such Holder or Beneficial Owner shall
not be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable gaming or racing
law, then the Company, at its option, may: (i) require such Holder or Beneficial
Owner to dispose of such Holder's or Beneficial Owner's Notes within 30 days, or
any earlier date as may be required by the Gaming Authority, of (A) the
termination of the 30-day


                                     A2-5

<Page>

period or any shorter period as may be required by a Gaming Authority, in
each case as described above, for the Holder or Beneficial Owner to apply for
a license, qualification or finding of suitability, or (B) the receipt of
notice from the Gaming Authority that the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall
not be licensed, qualified or found suitable; or (ii) to redeem the Notes of
such Holder or Beneficial Owner at a price equal to the least of (A) 100% of
the principal amount thereof, (B) the price at which such Holder or
Beneficial Owner acquired the Notes, and (C) the fair market value of the
Notes, together with, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the earlier of the date of redemption
or such earlier date as may be required by the Gaming Authority or the date
of the finding of unsuitability by such Gaming Authority, which may be less
than 30 days following the notice of redemption, if so ordered by such Gaming
Authority.

                  (b)      The Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes applying for
a license, qualification or a finding of suitability must pay all costs of the
licenses or investigation for this licensing, qualification or finding of
suitability. The Company is not required to pay or reimburse any Holder or
Beneficial Owner of Notes who is required to apply for any license,
qualification or finding of suitability.

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

                  8.       SELECTION AND NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. If less than all
of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for
redemption as follows: (i) if the Notes are listed, in compliance with the
requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes
are listed, or (ii) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot
or by any method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. No Notes of $1,000
or less may be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first
class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to
each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of
redemption may not be conditional. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only,
the notice of redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name
of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for
redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the
redemption date, interest and liquidated damages, if any, cease to accrue on
Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

                  9.       REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER. (a) Upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to
require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an
integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes pursuant to the offer
described below (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER") at an offer price in cash equal

                  (b)      When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds
$5.0 million, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer, pursuant to Section
4.10 of the Indenture, to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other
Indebtedness that is PARI PASSU with the Notes containing provisions similar to
those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase with the
proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes
and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess
Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if
any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess
Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use
such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture.
If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other PARI PASSU
Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess
Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other PARI PASSU
Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount
of Notes and such other PARI PASSU Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of
each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

                  10.      DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and
fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company is not required
to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is
not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed.

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

                  12.      AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase
of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and any existing Default
or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived
with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal of the Notes then
outstanding and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class (including,
without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or
tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Without the consent of any
Holder of Notes, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes
in addition to or in place of Definitive Notes, to provide for the assumption of
the Company's or any Guarantor's obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of
a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company or any Guarantor, to make any change that would provide any
additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder or to
comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.


                                     A2-7

                  13.      DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. In the case of an Event of
Default, as defined in the Indenture arising from certain events of bankruptcy
or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further
action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the
Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or
Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or Liquidated
Damages, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under
the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of
interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes.

                  In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any
willful action or inaction taken or not taken by the Company or on their behalf
with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would
have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to
the optional redemption provisions of the Indenture, an equivalent premium shall
also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law
upon the acceleration of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs during any
time that the Notes are outstanding, by reason of any willful action (or
inaction) taken (or not taken) by the Company or on its behalf with the
intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes, then the
premium specified in the Indenture shall also become immediately due and payable
to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes.

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

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

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

                  17.      ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL
NOTES AND RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to
Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted
Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement dated as of December 19, 2001, between the Company, the


                                     A2-8

<Page>

Guarantors and the parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in the
case of Additional Notes, Holders of Additional Notes shall have the rights
set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, between the
Company, the Guarantors and the other parties thereto, relating to rights
given by the Company and the Guarantors to the purchasers of Additional Notes
(the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT").

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

                  The Company shall furnish to any Holder upon written request
and without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights
Agreement. Requests may be made to:

under the Indenture referred to below (the "TRUSTEE").

                               W I T N E S S E T H

                  WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to
the Trustee an indenture (the "INDENTURE"), dated as of December 19, 2001
providing for the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of $125 million of
10 1/8% Senior Notes due 2009 (the "NOTES");

                  WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain
circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the
Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary
shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company's obligations under the Notes

Guarantee"); and

                  WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the
Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

                  NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,
the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the
equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

agrees as follows:

                  (a)      Along with all other Guarantors, to jointly and
severally Guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the
validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of
the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

                           (i)      the principal of and interest on the Notes
will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest

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

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so
guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally
obligated to pay the same immediately. This Subsidiary Guarantee is a guarantee
of payment and not of collection.

                  (b)      The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the
Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the
recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or
any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a guarantor.

                  (c)      Subject to Section 6.06 of the Indenture, the
following is hereby waived: 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.

                  (d)      The Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged
except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the
Indenture.

                  (e)      If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court
or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors, or any Custodian,
Trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the
Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such
Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall
be reinstated in full force and effect.

                  (f)      The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to
any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations
guaranteed hereby.

                  (g)      As between the Guarantors, 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 of the Indenture
for the purposes of this Subsidiary 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 declaration of
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 Subsidiary Guarantee.

                  (h)      Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture, the
Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors irrevocably agree that the obligations
of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to the extent
necessary so that they shall not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

                  3. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees
that the Subsidiary Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such
Subsidiary Guarantee.

                  4. GUARANTEEING SUBSIDIARY MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC., ON CERTAIN
TERMS. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 of the Indenture, a
Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
assets, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor
is the surviving Person) another Person unless:

                  (a)      immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
no Default or Event of Default exists; and

                  (b)      either:

                           (i)      the Person acquiring the property in any
                           such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or
                           surviving any such consolidation or merger is a
                           corporation, organized or existing under the laws of
                           the United States, any state thereof or the District
                           of Columbia and assumes all the obligations of that
                           Guarantor under this Indenture, its Subsidiary
                           Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement
                           pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to
                           the Trustee; or

                           (ii)     such sale or other disposition complies with
                           Section 4.10, including the application of the Net
                           Proceeds therefrom.

                  In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance
and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture,
executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee,
of the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual
performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be
performed by a Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be
substituted for a Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein
as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or
all of the Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable
hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all
respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the
Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been
issued at the date of the execution hereof.

                  Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of the Indenture, and
notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture
or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor
with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or
conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

                  5.  RELEASES.

                  (a)      Any Guarantor will be released and relieved of any
obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, (i) in connection with any sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor
(including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company, if the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of that Guarantor complies with Section 4.10 of the Indenture, including
the application of the Net Proceeds therefrom; (ii) in connection with any sale
of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company, if the sale of all such Capital Stock of that Guarantor complies
with Section 4.10 of the Indenture, including the application of the Net
Proceeds therefrom and (iii) if the Company properly designates any Restricted
Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Upon delivery by
the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation
Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required
in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee.

                  (b)      Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under
its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of
and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under
the Indenture as provided in Article Ten of the Indenture.

                  6. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future
director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations
of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Subsidiary
Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based
on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each
Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.
The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal
securities laws.

                  7. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT
WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT
THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED
THEREBY.

                  8. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of
this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of
them together represent the same agreement.

                  9. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
