                   Definitions and Incorporation by Reference

          Section 1.01. Definitions.

          "Accreted Value" means with respect to each Security, (a) as of any
date of determination prior to April 15, 2006, the sum of:

          (1) the initial offering price of each Security to the Initial
     Purchaser; and

          (2) the portion of the excess of the principal amount of each Security
     over such initial offering price, which shall have been amortized by the
     Company in accordance with GAAP through such date, such amount to be so
     amortized on a daily basis and compounded semi-annually on each interest
     payment date at the rate of interest to be paid commencing April 15, 2006
     as stated in such Security per annum from the date of issuance of such
     Security through the date of determination computed on the basis of a 360-
     day year of twelve 30-day months, and

          (b) as at any time on or after April 15, 2006, the principal amount of
     each Security on such date.

          "Acquired Indebtedness" means, with respect to any Person,

     acquisition, as the case may be.

          "Affiliate" of any specified Person means any other Person directly or

<PAGE>

          "Annualized Pro Forma Consolidated Operating Cash Flow" of a Person
means Consolidated Cash Flow for the latest two full fiscal quarters for which
consolidated financial statements of such Person are available multiplied by
two.  For purposes of calculating "Consolidated Cash Flow" for any period for
purposes of this definition only:

          (1) any Subsidiary of such Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary on
     the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate
     "Annualized Pro Forma Consolidated Operating Cash Flow" (the "Transaction
     Date") shall be deemed to have been a Restricted Subsidiary at all times
     during such period; and

          (2) any Subsidiary of such Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary
     on the Transaction Date shall be deemed not to have been a Restricted
     Subsidiary at any time during such period.

          In addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, for purposes
     of this definition only, "Consolidated Cash Flow" shall be calculated after
     giving effect on a pro forma basis for the applicable period to, without
     duplication, any Asset Dispositions or Asset Acquisitions (including,
     without limitation, any Asset Acquisition giving rise to the need to make
     such calculation as a result of such Person or one of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries (including any Person who becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a
     result of an Asset Acquisition) Incurring, assuming or otherwise being
     liable for Acquired Indebtedness) occurring during the period commencing on
     the first day of such two-fiscal-quarter period to and including the
     Transaction Date (the "Reference Period"), as if such Asset Disposition or
     Asset Acquisition occurred on the first day of the Reference Period.

          "Asset Acquisition" means:

                        --------------------------
an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of
transfer or for exchange (the "Registrar") and an office or agency where
Securities may be presented for payment (the "Paying Agent"). The Registrar
shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The
Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying
agents. The term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent, and the
term "Registrar" includes any co-registrars. The Company initially appoints the
Trustee as (i) Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities and
(ii) the Securities Custodian (as defined in Appendix A) with respect to the
Global Securities (as defined in Appendix A).

          The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate
the terms of the TIA.  Any such agreement shall implement the provisions of this
Indenture that relate to such agent.  The Company shall notify the Trustee of
the name and address of any such agent.  If the Company fails to maintain a
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled
to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07.  The Company or
any of its domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Registrar
or Paying Agent .

          The Company may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written
notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however,
                                                             --------  -------
that no such removal shall become effective until (1) acceptance of an
appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into
by the Company and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be,
and delivered to the Trustee or (2) notification to the Trustee that the Company
or the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of
a successor in accordance with clause (1) above.  The Registrar or Paying Agent
may resign at any time upon written notice; provided, however, that the Trustee
                                            --------  -------
may resign as Registrar or Paying Agent only if the Trustee also resigns as
Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08.


          Section 2.05. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Prior to each due
                        -----------------------------------
date of the principal and interest on any Security, the Company shall deposit
with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary is acting as Paying
Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest then so becoming
due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Company or the
Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for
the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities and shall notify the
Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company
or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the
money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The
Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to
the

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon
complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability
for the money delivered to the Trustee.

          Section 2.06. Securityholder 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 Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the
Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the
Trustee, in writing at least five 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 Securityholders.

          Section 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. The Securities shall be issued in
                        ---------------------
registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security
for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A. When a Security
is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the
Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of
Section 8-401(a)(l) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Securities are
presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal
principal amount at maturity of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar
shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit
registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate Securities (in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as
appropriate) at the Registrar's request. The Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in
connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.07. The
Company shall not be required to make and the Registrar need not register
transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except, in the
case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be
redeemed) or any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of
Securities to be redeemed.

          Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any
Security, the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent
and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Security is
registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of and interest, if any, on such Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the
Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, or the
Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          Any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global
Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interest in such Global Security
may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (i) the Holder of
such Global Security (or its agent) or (ii) any Holder of a beneficial interest
in such Global Security, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such
Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

          All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the
terms of this Indenture will evidence the same debt and will be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such
transfer or exchange.

          Section 2.08. Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is
                        ----------------------
surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the
Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue
and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of
Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder (i)
satisfies the Company and the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder
has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does
not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (ii) makes such
request to the Company or the Trustee prior to the Security being acquired by a
protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code
(a "protected purchaser") and (iii) satisfies any other reasonable requirements
of the Trustee. If required by the Company or the Trustee, such Holder shall
furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the
Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar
from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company
and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a
Security. In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken
Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in
replacement thereof.

          Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.

          The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken
Securities.

          Section 2.09. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any
                        ----------------------
time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled
by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this
Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 14.06, a Security does not
cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds
the Security.

          If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to
them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

          If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with
this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay
all principal and interest and liquidated damages payable on that date with
respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as
the case may be, and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money
to the Securityholders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture,
then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be
outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

          Section 2.10. Temporary Securities. In the event that Definitive
                        --------------------
Securities (as defined in Appendix A) are to be issued under the terms of this
Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company
may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary
Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Securities but may
have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.
Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

authenticate Definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary
Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency
of the Company, without charge to the Holder.

          Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver
                        ------------
Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent
shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration
of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all
Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or
cancellation and deliver canceled Securities to the Company pursuant to written
direction by an Officer. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace
Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
The Trustee shall not authenticate Securities in place of canceled Securities
other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

          Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment
                        ------------------
of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest
(plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful
manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are
Securityholders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or
cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be
mailed to each Securityholder a notice that states the special record date, the
payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

          Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may
                        -------------
use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use
CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption solely as a convenience to Holders;
provided, however, that any such notice may state that (i) none of the Company,
any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall be responsible
for selection or use of such CUSIP numbers, (ii) no representation is made as to
the correctness of such CUSIP numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and (iii) reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

                        ------------------
Securities pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount at maturity
of Securities to be redeemed.

          The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this
Section 3.01 at least 60 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee
consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers'
Certificate (which Officers' Certificate shall comply with the requirements of
Section 14.04(1) and 14.05) and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel
shall comply with the requirements of Section 14.04(2) and 14.05) from the
Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions
herein. If

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the record date relating to
such redemption shall be selected by the Company and given to the Trustee, which
record date shall be not fewer than 15 days after the date of notice to the
Trustee. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such
redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no
effect.

          Section 3.02. Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed. If fewer than
                        --------------------------------------
all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities
to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by a method that complies with applicable
legal and securities exchange requirements, if any, and that the Trustee in its
sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate and in accordance with
methods generally used at the time of selection by fiduciaries in similar
circumstances; provided that the Trustee shall select for redemption a pro rata
portion of each Tranche of Securities then outstanding. The Trustee shall make
the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption.
The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal amount at
maturity of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities
and portions thereof the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 of
principal amount at maturity or a whole multiple of $1,000 thereof. Provisions
of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to
portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the
Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed. For
greater certainty, all Tranches of Securities issued pursuant to this Indenture
shall be treated together for purposes of this Article 3.

          Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than
                        --------------------
60 days before a date for redemption of Securities, the Company shall mail a
notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be
redeemed at such Holder's registered address.

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

          (1) the redemption date;

          (2) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the
     redemption date;

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

     the certificate numbers of certificated securities and principal amounts at
     maturity of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

          (6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption
     payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant
     to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Securities (or portion thereof)
     called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

          (7) the CUSIP number, if any, printed on the Securities being
     redeemed; and

                                      -33-

          (8) 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
     Securities.

the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon
surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption
price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest and liquidated damages, if
any, to the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is
                             --------  -------
after a regular record date and on or prior to the interest payment date, the
accrued interest shall be payable to the Securityholder of the redeemed
Securities registered on the relevant record date. Failure to give notice or any
defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice
to any other Holder.

          Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. on the
                        ---------------------------

liquidated damages (if any) on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other
than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption that have been
delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the
redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof
called for redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent
funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
liquidated damages (if any) on, the Securities to be redeemed.

          Section 3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a
                        ---------------------------

     to the permanent reduction and prepayment of any Senior Indebtedness of the
     Company then outstanding (including a permanent reduction of the
     commitments in respect thereof).

          (b) Any Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Disposition which is
     subject to the immediately preceding sentence that are not applied as
     provided in the immediately preceding sentence shall be used promptly after
     the expiration of the 365th day after such Asset Disposition (or earlier if
     the Company so elects) to make an Offer to Purchase outstanding Securities
     at a purchase price in cash equal to (A) 100% of the Accreted Value on the

     of the principal amount at maturity plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
     Purchase Date, if such Purchase Date is after April 15. 2006, provided,

     Net Available Proceeds from Asset Dispositions otherwise subject to the two
     immediately preceding sentences, and not just the amount in excess of
     $15,000,000, shall be applied as required pursuant to this paragraph). Any

     to a transaction consummated in compliance with the provisions of Section
     5.01.

          (c) Pending application as set forth above, the Net Available Proceeds
     of any Asset Disposition may be invested in cash or Cash Equivalents or

     requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities
     laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities
     pursuant to this Section 4.06. To the extent that the provisions of any
     securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section
     4.06, the Company shall be required to comply with the applicable
     securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached
     its obligations under this Section 4.06 by virtue thereof.

     of directors of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
     be, have determined, in their good faith judgment, that the terms of such
     transaction are at least as favorable as the terms that could be obtained

     parties; and

          (2) if the aggregate consideration is in excess of $25,000,000, the

(including, without limitation, cable or fiber lines, equipment or transmission
capacity) of any Affiliate of the Company (such Affiliate being a "Related

Securities shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any
part of such holder's Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to (1) 101%
of the Accreted Value on the Purchase Date, if such date is on or before April
15, 2006, or (2) 101% of the principal amount at maturity, if such date is after

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 Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer
made by the Company. The Company's obligation to make a Change of Control Offer
will be reinstated unless such third party purchases all Securities validly
tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer in accordance with
its terms.

          (d) The Company shall be required to comply, to the extent applicable,
with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities
pursuant to this Section 4.08. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.08,
the Company shall be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Section 4.08 by virtue thereof.

          (e) In the event that, at the time of a Change of Control, the terms
of the Bank Indebtedness restrict or prohibit the repurchase of Securities
pursuant to this Section 4.08, then, prior to the mailing of the notice to

Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company an
Officers' Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the
signers of their duties as Officers of the Company they would normally have
knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default that
occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the

with respect thereto. The Company also shall comply with Section 314(a)(4) of
the TIA (including the making of all representations and warranties mandated
thereby).

          Section 4.10. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the
                        ----------------------------

                        ----------------------------
each Restricted Subsidiary (excluding any Foreign Subsidiary) that Incurs
Indebtedness to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, and, if applicable, execute and
deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form set forth in Exhibit
C pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the
Securities; provided that the Company shall not cause any Special Purpose
Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Special Purpose
Subsidiary Incurs Indebtedness other than Indebtedness in respect of the Company
Credit Agreement (or any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance such
Indebtedness) or FCC Debt. Each Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to an
amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that
Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee, as it relates
to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally.

than an Ineligible Subsidiary) as an "Unrestricted Subsidiary" under this
Indenture (a "Designation") only if:

          (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation;

          (2) the Company would be permitted under this Indenture to make an
     Investment at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such
     Designation) in

                                      -49-
<PAGE>

     an amount (the "Designation Amount") equal to the Fair Market Value of the
     aggregate amount of its Investments in such Subsidiary on such date; and

          (3) except in the case of a Subsidiary of the Company in which an
     Investment is being made pursuant to, and as permitted by, paragraph (c) of
     Section 4.04, the Company would be permitted to Incur $1.00 of additional
     Indebtedness pursuant to clause (a)(1) of Section 4.03 at the time of
     Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation).

          (b) In the event of any such Designation, the Company shall be deemed
to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section
4.04 for all purposes of this Indenture in the Designation Amount.

          (c) The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary (a "Revocation"), whereupon such Subsidiary shall then
constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, if no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Revocation. In the
event of any such Revocation, the Company shall be deemed to continue to have a
permanent Investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary constituting a Restricted
Payment pursuant Section 4.04 for all purposes under this Indenture in an amount
(if positive) equal to:

          (1) the Fair Market Value of the aggregate amount of the Company's
     Investments in such Subsidiary at the time of such Revocation; less

          (2) the portion (proportionate to the Company's equity interest in
     such Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of such
     Subsidiary at the time of such Revocation.

          (d) All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by a resolution
     of the board of directors of the Company delivered to the Trustee
     certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions.

          Section 4.14. Limitation on Layered Indebtedness. The Company shall
                        ----------------------------------
not:


          (1) directly or indirectly Incur any Indebtedness that by its terms
     would expressly rank senior in right of payment to the Securities and rank
     subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company;
     or

          (2) cause or permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, and no Subsidiary
     Guarantor shall, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness that by its
     terms would expressly rank senior in right of payment to the Subsidiary
     Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor and rank subordinate in right of
     payment to any other Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor;

provided that no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be subordinated solely by
--------
virtue of being unsecured.

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

               (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any
          substantial part of its property; or

               (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors
          or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to
          insolvency;

          (8) a court of competent jurisdiction renders a final judgment or
     decree (not subject to appeal) for the payment of money in excess of
     $15,000,000 or its foreign currency equivalent at the time it is entered
     against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary and such judgment or decree
     is not discharged, waived or stayed if:

               (A) an enforcement proceeding thereon is commenced by any
          creditor; or

               (B) such judgment or decree remains outstanding for a period of
          60 days following such judgment and is not discharged, waived or
          stayed (the "judgment default provision");

          (9) any Subsidiary Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect
     (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any Subsidiary Guarantor
     or Person acting by or on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor denies or
     disaffirms such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture or
     any Subsidiary Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days after
     receipt of the notice specified below; or

          (10) at any time prior to the occurrence of any of the Special Default
     Release Conditions, the Company shall be in default of or shall breach any
     of its obligations

                                      -53-

     under the Procurement Contract and as a result thereof the Procurement
     Contract shall have terminated or been terminated; provided that the
                                                        --------
     Company shall have been given any notice of such default or breach as
     required under the Procurement Contract and any cure period thereunder
     shall have expired.

          The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason
for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is
effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body.

          A Default under clause (4), (5), (6) or (8) shall not constitute an
Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in Accreted
Value of the outstanding Securities, voting as a single class, notify the
Company of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the
time specified in clauses (4), (5), (6)  or (8) after receipt of such notice.
Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that
such notice is a "Notice of Default".

          Section 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an
                        ------------
Event of Default specified in clause (7) of Section 6.01 with respect to the
Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the
Holders of at least 25% in Accreted Value of the outstanding Securities, voting
as a single class, by notice to the Company, may declare the principal of and
accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon
such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable
immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (7) of Section 6.01 with
respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the
Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without
                 ---- -----
any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders.
The Required Holders by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and
its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or
decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except
nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of
acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair
any right consequent thereto. Prior to April 15, 2006, the portion of principal
of all Securities that is declared and otherwise due and payable pursuant to
this Section 6.02 shall be the Accreted Value of such Securities as of the date
of declaration.

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

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any
of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy
accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No remedy is
exclusive of any other remedy.  All available remedies are cumulative.

          Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Required Holders by notice
                        -----------------------
to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (i) a
Default in the payment

                                      -54-
<PAGE>

of the Accreted Value of, principal amount at maturity of, or interest on a
Security or (ii) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any
Security when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (iii) a
Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended
without the consent of each Securityholder affected. When a Default is waived,
it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or impair any consequent right.

          Section 6.05. Control by Majority. The Required Holders may direct the
                        -------------------
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.
However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law
or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is
unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the
Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any
                               --------  -------
other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled
to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses
and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

          Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to
                        -------------------
receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no
Securityholder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Securities unless:

          (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an
     Event of Default is continuing;

          (2) the Holders of at least 25% in Accreted Value of the outstanding
     Securities, voting as a single class, make a written request to the Trustee
     to pursue the remedy;

          (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity
     reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or
     expense;

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

          (5) the Required Holders do not give the Trustee a direction
     inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period.

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

          Section 6.07. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment. Notwithstanding
                        ------------------------------------
any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive
payment of principal of and liquidated damages and interest on the Securities
held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the
Securities, 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 clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with
interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided
for in Section 7.07.

          Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file
                        --------------------------------
such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Securityholders
allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, any Subsidiary or
Subsidiary Guarantor, their creditors or their property and, unless prohibited
by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar
functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make 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 it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

          Section 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or
                        ----------
property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in
the following order:

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

          SECOND: to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to the extent
required by Article 10;

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

          FOURTH: to the Company.

          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Securityholders pursuant to this Section.  At least 15 days before such record
date, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder and the Company a notice
that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

          Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement
                        ---------------------
of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee
for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may
require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the
suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses
made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of
more than 10% in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities.

          Section 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Neither the Company
                        --------------------------------
nor any Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Indenture; and the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of
any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

                                   ARTICLE 7


                                    Trustee

          Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.
                        -----------------


          (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee
shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the
same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent 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:

          (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
     as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or
     obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

          (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
     conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
     the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions 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 liability for its own
     negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
     misconduct, except that:

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


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

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

                                      -57-

          (d) 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) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received
     by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.

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

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

          (h) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
     affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
     subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01 and to the provisions of the
     TIA.

          Section 7.02. Rights of Trustee.
                        -----------------

          (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in
     acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
     statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
     consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed to be
     genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
     parties.

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

          (c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
     perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through, agents,
     attorneys, custodians or nominees and the Trustee shall not be responsible
     for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, attorney,
     custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.

          (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
     to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its
     rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee's conduct does not
                       --------  -------
     constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

          (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of
     counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the
     Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from
     liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it
     hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of
     such counsel.

          (f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
     facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
     instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
     bond, debenture, note or other paper or document unless

                                      -58-
<PAGE>

     requested in writing to do so by the Required Holders, but the Trustee, in
     its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
     facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to
     make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine
     the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or
     attorney.

          (g) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use by the Company of
     the proceeds of the Securities.

          Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its
                        ----------------------------
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities
and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-paying
agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with
Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

          Section 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be
                        --------------------
responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of
this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company's
use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any
statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the
Trustee's certificate of authentication.

          Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is
                        ------------------
continuing and if it is actually known to a Trust Officer, the Trustee shall
mail to each Securityholder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days
after it occurs or 30 days after it actually becomes known to a Trust Officer.
Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any
Security (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of
such Security, if any), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a
committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the
notice is in the interests of Securityholders.

          Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as
                        -----------------------------
practicable after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of
this Indenture, and in any event prior to July 15 in each year, the Trustee
shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of July 15 that
complies with Section 313(a) of the TIA. The Trustee shall also comply with
Section 313(b) of the TIA.

          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders
shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange (if any) on which the
Securities are listed.  The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee in
writing whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any
delisting thereof.

          Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the
                        --------------------------
Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The
Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon
request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it,
including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services.
Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and
experts. The Company and each Subsidiary

                                      -59-
<PAGE>

Guarantor, jointly and severally shall indemnify the Trustee, its directors,
officers, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection
with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties
hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company of any claim for which it may
seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided,
                                                                 --------
however, that any failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company
-------
or any Subsidiary Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Company
shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable
cooperation at the Company's expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties
may have separate counsel and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as
applicable shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however,
                                                            --------  -------
that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it
assumes such indemnified parties' defense and, in such indemnified parties'
reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Company and
the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, and such parties in connection with
such defense. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against
any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such
party's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

          To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held
or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay
principal of and interest and any liquidated damages on particular Securities.

          The Company's payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall
survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or
termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law or the resignation or
removal of the Trustee.  When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence
of a Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 with respect to the
Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under the Bankruptcy Law.

          Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any
                        ----------------------
time by so notifying the Company. The Required Holders may remove the Trustee by
so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall
remove the Trustee if:

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

          (2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

          (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or

          (5) the Trustee increases its fees (exclusive of fees for
     extraordinary services) by more than 10% in any twelve month period.

          If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Required
Holders and such Required Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor
Trustee, or if a

                                      -60-
<PAGE>

vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such
event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

          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 Securityholders.  The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien
provided for in Section 7.07.

          If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of
10% in Accreted Value of the outstanding Securities, voting as a single class,
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

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

          Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

          Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates
                        ---------------------------
with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its
corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any
further act shall be the successor Trustee.

          In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion
or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered,
any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of
any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in
case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any
successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities in the name of the
successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the
full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided
that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

the operation of Section 3.01(b)(1) of the TIA any indenture or indentures under
which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other
securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion
set forth in Section 3.01(b)(1) of the TIA are met.

                       Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance

          Section 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance.
                        ------------------------------------------------

          (a) When (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding
Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.08) for
cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable,
whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption
pursuant to Article 3, and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee
funds or U.S. Government Obligations on which payment of principal and interest
when due will be sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all
outstanding Securities, including interest thereon to maturity or such
redemption date (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.08), and
if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the
Company, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of
further effect. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company.

          (b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may
terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture
("legal defeasance option") or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03,
4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.13, 4.14 and 4.15 and the
operation of Section 5.01(a)(3), 6.01(4), 6.01(6), 6.01(7) (with respect to
Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only) and 6.01(8) (with respect to
Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only) ("covenant defeasance option").
The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior
exercise of its covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Company
terminates all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture by
exercising its legal defeasance option, the obligations under the Subsidiary
Guarantees shall each be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such
obligations.

          If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the
Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.  If the
Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may
not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4),
6.01(6), 6.01(7) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only)
or 6.01(8) because of the failure of the Company to comply with clauses (3) and
(4) of Section 5.01(a).

                                      -62-
<PAGE>

          Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request
of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those
obligations that the Company terminates.

          (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company's
obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 7.07, 7.08 and
in this Article 8 shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full.
Thereafter, the Company's obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall
survive.

          Section 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. The Company may exercise its
                        ------------------------
legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

          (1) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money
     or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium (if
     any) and interest on the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case
     may be;

          (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a
     nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their
     opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without
     reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any
     deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in
     such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due
     on all the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

          (3) 123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day
     period no Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 with
     respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;

          (4) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other
     agreement binding on the Company and is not prohibited by Article 10;

          (5) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
     effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is
     qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company
     Act of 1940;

          (6) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have
     delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company
     has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
     Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a
     change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the
     effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that,
     the Securityholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
     income tax purposes as a result of such 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 defeasance had not occurred;

          (7) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall
     have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
     Securityholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income
     tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to
     Federal income tax on the same amounts, in

                                      -63-
<PAGE>

     the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
     covenant defeasance had not occurred; and

          (8) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and
     an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the
     defeasance and discharge of the Securities as contemplated by this Article
     8 have been complied with. Before or after a deposit, the Company may make
     arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities
     at a future date in accordance with Article 3.

          Section 8.03. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in
                        --------------------------
trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this
Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government
Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to
the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities. Money and securities
so held in trust are not subject to Article 10.

          Section 8.04. Repayment to Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent
                        --------------------
shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or
securities held by them at any time.

          Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the
Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by
them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two
years, and, thereafter, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the
Company for payment as general creditors.

          Section 8.05. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Company shall
                        ------------------------------------
pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal
and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations.

          Section 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable
                        -------------
to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this
Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company's obligations under this
Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee
or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the
Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Securities
because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the
money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

                                   Amendments

          Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders.
                        --------------------------

          (a) Without the consent of any Holder of Securities, the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture to:

          (1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

          (2) comply with Article 5;

          (3) provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to, or in place
     of, certificated Securities; provided, however, that the uncertificated
                                  --------  -------
     Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of
     the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Securities are
     described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code;

          (4) make any change in Article 10 or Article 12 that would limit or
     terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Indebtedness of
     the Company (or any Representative thereof) under Article 10 or Article 12;

          (5) add additional guarantees with respect to the Securities;

          (6) secure the Securities;

          (7) add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the
     Securityholders;

          (8) surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company;

          (9) make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any
     Securityholder;

          (10) provide for the creation and issuance of any Tranche of
     Securities or of any additional Securities of a particular Tranche,
     including the issuance of the Exchange Securities or Private Exchange
     Securities, subject to the provisions of this Indenture; or

          (11) comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with
     the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.

          (b) No amendment may be made under this Section 9.01, that adversely
affects the rights under Article 10 or Article 12 of any holder of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness (or any group or representative thereof authorized to give a
consent) consent to such change.

          (c) After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such
amendment. The failure

                                      -65-
<PAGE>

to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not
impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

          Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders. The Company, the Subsidiary
                        -----------------------
Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities without
notice to any Securityholder but with the written consent of the Required
Holders (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or
exchange for the Securities). However, without the consent of each
Securityholder affected, an amendment may not:

          (1) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an
     amendment;

          (2) reduce the rate of, or extend the time for payment of, interest or
     any liquidated damages on any Security;

          (3) reduce the principal of, or extend the Stated Maturity of, any
     Security;

          (4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Security or
     change the time at which any Security may be redeemed in accordance with
     Article 3;

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

          (6) impair the right of any Holder of Securities to receive payment of
     principal of and interest or any liquidated damages on such Holder's
     Securities on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the
     enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder's Securities;
     or

          (7) make any change in the amendment provisions which require the
     consent of each Holder of Securities or in the waiver provisions.

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

          After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such
amendment.  The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any
defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under
this Section 9.02.

          Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to
                        -----------------------------------
this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

          Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent
                        ---------------------------------------------
to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and
every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of
the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or
subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder's Security
or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation

                                      -66-
<PAGE>

before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers' Certificate from the
Company certifying that the requisite number of consents have been received.
After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every
Securityholder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by
the Company or the Trustee of the requisite number of consents, (ii)
satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and
any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii)
execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Company
and the Trustee.

          The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for
the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to give their consent or
take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken
pursuant to this Indenture.  If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the
immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Securityholders at such
record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be
entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to
take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after
such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120
days after such record date.

          Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment
                        -------------------------------------
changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the
Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate
notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the
Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company
in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a
new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate
notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such
amendment.

          Section 9.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any
                        --------------------------
amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and
to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such
amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to
customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section
9.03).

          Section 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither the Company nor any
                        -------------------
Affiliate of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid
any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder
for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms
or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is
offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in
the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent,
waiver or agreement.

                                 Subordination

          Section 10.01. Agreement To Subordinate. The Company agrees, and each
                         ------------------------
Securityholder by accepting a Security agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced
by the Securities is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the
manner provided in this Article 10, to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company and that the subordination is for the benefit of and
enforceable by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. The Securities shall in
all respects rank pari passu with all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of
                  ---- -----
the Company, and only Indebtedness of the Company that is Senior Indebtedness of
the Company shall rank senior to the Securities in accordance with the
provisions set forth herein. For purposes of this Article 10, the Indebtedness
evidenced by the Securities shall be deemed to include the liquidated damages
payable pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Securities and the
Registration Agreement. All provisions of this Article 10 shall be subject to
Section 10.12.

          Section 10.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any payment
                         ------------------------------------
or distribution of the assets of the Company to creditors upon a total or
partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Company or in a
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding
relating to the Company or its property:

          (1) holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled to
     receive payment in full of such Senior Indebtedness before Securityholders
     shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal of or interest on the
     Securities; and

          (2) until the Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, any
     payment or distribution to which Securityholders would be entitled but for
     this Article 10 shall be made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness as
     their interests may appear, except that Securityholders may receive shares
     of stock and any debt securities that are subordinated to such Senior
     Indebtedness to at least the same extent as the Securities.

          Section 10.03. Default on Senior Indebtedness. The Company may not pay
                         ------------------------------
the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Securities or make any
deposit pursuant to Section 8.01 and may not otherwise repurchase, redeem or
otherwise retire any Securities (collectively, "pay the Securities") if (i) any
Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company is not paid when due or (ii) any
other default on such Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and the maturity of
such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms
unless, in either case, (x) the default has been cured or waived and any such
acceleration has been rescinded or (y) such Designated Senior Indebtedness has
been paid in full; provided, however, that the Company may pay the Securities
                   --------  -------
without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written
notice approving such payment from the Representative of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness with respect to which either of the events set forth in clause (i)
or (ii) of this sentence has occurred and is continuing. During the continuance
of any default (other than a default described in clause (i) or (ii) of the
preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the
Company pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately
without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such
acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods,

                                      -68-
<PAGE>

the Company may not pay the Securities for a period (a "Payment Blockage
Period") commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to the Company)
of written notice (a "Blockage Notice") of such default from the Representative
of such Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a
Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier if such
Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by written notice to the Trustee and
the Company from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, (ii) by
repayment in full of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or (iii) because the
default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is no longer continuing).
Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence
(but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section
10.03), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the
Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the maturity of such
Designated Senior Indebtedness, the Company may resume payments on the
Securities after the end of such Payment Blockage Period. Not more than one
Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of
the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness during
such period; provided, however, that if any Blockage Notice within such 360-day
             --------  -------
period is given by or on behalf of any holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness
other than the Bank Indebtedness, the Representative of the Bank Indebtedness
may give another Blockage Notice within such period; provided further, however,
                                                     -------- -------  -------
that in no event may the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage
Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any 360
consecutive day period. For purposes of this Section 10.03, no default or event
of default that existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any
Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness
initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the
commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of
such Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360
consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured
or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

          Section 10.04. Acceleration of Payment of Securities. If payment of
                         -------------------------------------
the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company or the
Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness
of the Company (or their Representative) of the acceleration. If any Designated
Senior Indebtedness of the Company is outstanding, the Company may not pay the
Securities until five Business Days after such holders or the Representative of
such Designated Senior Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and,
thereafter, may pay the Securities only if this Article 10 otherwise permits
payment at that time.

          Section 10.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. If a distribution
                         -----------------------------------
is made to Securityholders that because of this Article 10 should not have been
made to them, the Securityholders who receive the distribution shall hold it in
trust for holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and pay it over to them
as their interests may appear.

          Section 10.06. Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness of the
                         -----------
Company is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full,
Securityholders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Senior
Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness. A
distribution made under this Article 10 to holders of such Senior Indebtedness
which otherwise would have been made to Securityholders is not, as between the
Company and Securityholders, a payment by the Company on such Senior
Indebtedness.

          Section 10.07. Relative Rights. This Article 10 defines the relative
                         ---------------
rights of Securityholders and holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company.
Nothing in this Indenture shall:

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

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

          Section 10.08. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company. No right
                         --------------------------------------------
of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to enforce the subordination
of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired by any act or
failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.

          Section 10.09. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding
                         ----------------------------------
Section 10.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the
Securities and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts
that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than two
Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Trust Officer of the Trustee
receives notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be made under this
Article 10. The Company, the Registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a
holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may give the notice; provided,
                                                                  --------
however, that, if an issue of Senior Indebtedness of the Company has a
-------
Representative, only the Representative may give the notice.

          The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior
Indebtedness of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.  The Registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like rights.
The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 10
with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company which may at any time be
held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness;
and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such
holder.  Nothing in this Article 10 shall apply to claims of, or payments to,
the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07.

          Section 10.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a
                         ----------------------------------------
distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness
of the Company, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their
Representative (if any).

          Section 10.11. Article 10 Not To Prevent Events of Default or Limit
                         ----------------------------------------------------
Right To Accelerate. The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Securities by
-------------------
reason of any provision in this Article 10 shall not be construed as preventing
the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article 10 shall have any effect on
the right of the Securityholders or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of
the Securities.

          Section 10.12. Trust Moneys Not Subordinated. Notwithstanding anything
                         -----------------------------
contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of U.S.
Government Obligations held in trust under Article 8 by the Trustee for the
payment of principal of and

                                      -70-
<PAGE>

interest on the Securities shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any
Senior Indebtedness of the Company or subject to the restrictions set forth in
this Article 10, and none of the Securityholders shall be obligated to pay over
any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company or any other creditor of the Company.

          Section 10.13. Trustee Entitled To Rely. Upon any payment or
                         ------------------------
distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee and the Securityholders
shall be entitled to rely conclusively (i) upon any order or decree of a court
of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in
Section 10.02 are pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or
agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to
the Securityholders or (iii) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled
to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or
payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other
facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 10. In the event that the Trustee
determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right
of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to participate
in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee may
request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the
extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this
Article 10, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such
Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall
be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to
this Article 10.

          Section 10.14. Trustee To Effectuate Subordination. Each
                         -----------------------------------
Securityholder by accepting a Security authorizes and directs the Trustee on his
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or
effectuate the subordination between the Securityholders and the holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company as provided in this Article 10 and appoints
the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

          Section 10.15. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior
                         -------------------------------------------
Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
------------
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and shall not be liable to any
such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Securityholders or
the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 10 or
otherwise.

          Section 10.16. Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness on
                         ---------------------------------------------
Subordination Provisions. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security
------------------------
acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are
intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or
acquired before or after the issuance of the Securities, to acquire and continue
to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of
such Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such
subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing
to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.

Article shall apply to amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to other sections of
this Indenture.

          Section 10.18. Defeasance. The terms of this Article 10 shall not
                         ----------
apply to payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held
in trust by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Securities pursuant to the provisions described in Section 8.03.

                                   ARTICLE 11


                             Subsidiary Guarantees

          Section 11.01. Subsidiary Guarantees. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
                         ---------------------
jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary
obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its
successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at
Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all obligations
of the Company under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and
the Securities, whether for payment of principal of, interest on or liquidated
damages in respect of, the Securities and all other monetary obligations of the
Company under this Indenture and the Securities and (b) the full and punctual
performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the
Company whether for expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture
and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the
"Guaranteed Obligations"). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the
Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without
notice or further assent from each such Subsidiary Guarantor, and that each such
Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 11 notwithstanding
any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

          Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment
from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also
waives notice of protest for nonpayment.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives
notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations.  The
obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a)
the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this
Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension
or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification
of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other
agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for
the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder or
Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the
Guaranteed Obligations; or (f) any change in the ownership of such Subsidiary
Guarantor, except as provided in Section 11.02(b).

          Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be
entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Subsidiary
Guarantors, such that such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations would be less than
the full amount claimed.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to
which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company first be used and
depleted as payment of the Company's or such Subsidiary Guarantor's

                                      -72-
<PAGE>

obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any
right to which it may be entitled to require that the Company be sued prior to
an action being initiated against such Subsidiary Guarantor.

          Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee
herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due
(and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any
resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of
the Guaranteed Obligations.

          The Subsidiary Guarantee of each Subsidiary Guarantor is, to the
extent and in the manner set forth in Article 12, subordinated and subject in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on all Senior Indebtedness of the relevant Subsidiary
Guarantor and is made subject to such provisions of this Indenture.

          Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 11.02 and 11.06,
the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to
any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including
any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not
be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the
Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the
Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this
Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification
of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the
performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or
delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a
discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

          Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall
remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed
Obligations (except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01(b)).  Each Subsidiary
Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or
any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

          In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other
right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any
Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay
the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same
shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or
otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written
demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the
Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal
amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest

                                      -73-
<PAGE>

on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law)
and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Company to the Holders and the
Trustee.

          Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any
right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed
Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed
Obligations and all obligations to which the Guaranteed Obligations are
subordinated as provided in Article 12.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further
agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on
the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby
may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Subsidiary
Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed
hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such
Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such
Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 11.01.

          Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the
Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.01.

          Upon request of the Trustee, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute
and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be
reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this
Indenture.

          Section 11.02. Limitation on Liability.
                         -----------------------

          (a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum, aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations
guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum
amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it
relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally.

          (b) A Subsidiary Guarantee as to any Subsidiary Guarantor shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Subsidiary Guarantor
shall be deemed to be released from all obligations under this Article 11 upon
(i) the merger or consolidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor with or into any
Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company where
such Subsidiary Guarantor is not the surviving entity of such consolidation or
merger or (ii) the sale by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (or any
pledgee of the Company) of a majority of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary
Guarantor, where, after such sale, such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a
Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that each such merger,
                           --------  -------
consolidation or sale (or, in the case of a sale by such a pledgee, the
disposition of the proceeds of such sale) shall comply with Section 4.06 and
Section 5.01(b). At the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release.

          Section 11.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 11 shall be
                         ----------------------
binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the
Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder
or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this
Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in
such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this
Indenture.

          Section 11.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of
                         ---------
either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege
under this Article 11 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or
partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right,
power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the
Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other
rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 11 at law,
in equity, by statute or otherwise.

          Section 11.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of
                         ------------
any provision of this Article 11, nor the consent to any departure by any
Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall
entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in
the same, similar or other circumstances.

          Section 11.06. Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future
                         ----------------------------------------------
Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary which is required to become a Subsidiary
---------------------
Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and deliver to the
Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit C hereto pursuant to
which such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 11
and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations. Concurrently with the execution
and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers' Certificate to the effect that
such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
such Subsidiary and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to
creditors' rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered
in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary
Guarantor is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor,
enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

                   Subordination of the Subsidiary Guarantees

          Section 12.01. Agreement To Subordinate. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
                         ------------------------
agrees, and each Securityholder by accepting a Security agrees, that the
obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are subordinated in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 12, to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor
and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor. The obligations
hereunder

                                      -75-
<PAGE>

with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantor shall in all respects rank pari passu
                                                                  ---- -----
with all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor and
shall rank senior to all existing and future Subordinated Obligations of such
Subsidiary Guarantor; and only Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor that is
Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall rank senior to the
obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the provisions set
forth herein.

          Section 12.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any payment
                         ------------------------------------
or distribution of the assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor to creditors upon a
total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of such
Subsidiary Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to such Subsidiary Guarantor and its
properties:

          (1) holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall
     be entitled to receive payment in full of such Senior Indebtedness before
     Securityholders shall be entitled to receive any payment pursuant to any
     Guaranteed Obligations from such Subsidiary Guarantor; and

          (2) until the Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor is paid
     in full, any payment or distribution to which Securityholders would be
     entitled but for this Article 12 shall be made to holders of such Senior
     Indebtedness as their respective interests may appear, except that
     Securityholders may receive shares of stock and any debt securities that
     are subordinated to such Senior Indebtedness to at least the same extent as
     the Guarantees.

          Section 12.03. Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness of a
                         ----------------------------------------------
Subsidiary Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantor may not make any payment pursuant
--------------------
to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire
any Securities (collectively, "pay its Guarantee") if (i) any Designated Senior
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor is not paid when due or (ii) any other
default on Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor occurs
and the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in
accordance with its terms unless, in either case, (x) the default has been cured
or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or (y) such Designated
Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full; provided, however, that such
                                           --------  -------
Subsidiary Guarantor may pay its Guarantee without regard to the foregoing if
such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee receive written notice approving such
payment from the Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness with respect to which either of the events in clause (i) or (ii) of
this sentence has occurred and is continuing. During the continuance of any
default (other than a default described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding
sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
Guarantor pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately
without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such
acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, such Subsidiary
Guarantor may not pay its Guarantee for a Payment Blockage Period commencing
upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to such Subsidiary Guarantor and
the Company) of a Blockage Notice of such default from the Representative of the
holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor
specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days
thereafter (or earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by
written notice to the

                                      -76-
<PAGE>

Trustee (with a copy to such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Company) from the
Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, (ii) because such Designated
Senior Indebtedness has been repaid in full or (iii) because the default giving
rise to such Blockage Notice is no longer continuing). Notwithstanding the
provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the
provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section 12.03), unless the
holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such
holders shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness, such Subsidiary Guarantor may resume paying its Guarantee after
such Payment Blockage Period, including any missed payments. Not more than one
Blockage Notice may be given with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantor in any
consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect
to Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor during such
period.

          Section 12.04. Demand for Payment. If payment of the Securities is
                         ------------------
accelerated because of an Event of Default and a demand for payment is made on a
Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Article 11, the Trustee shall promptly notify
the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor
(or the Representative of such holders) of such demand. If any Designated Senior
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor is outstanding, such Subsidiary
Guarantor may not pay its Guarantee until five Business Days after such holders
or the Representative of the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness of
such Subsidiary Guarantor receive notice of such demand and, thereafter, may pay
its Guarantee only if this Article 12 otherwise permits payment at that time.

          Section 12.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. If a payment or
                         -----------------------------------
distribution is made to Securityholders that because of this Article 12 should
not have been made to them, the Securityholders who receive the payment or
distribution shall hold such payment or distribution in trust for holders of the
Senior Indebtedness of the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor and pay it over to them
as their respective interests may appear.

          Section 12.06. Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness of a
                         -----------
Subsidiary Guarantor is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full
in cash, Securityholders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor to receive distributions applicable to
Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor. A distribution made
under this Article 12 to holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary
Guarantor which otherwise would have been made to Securityholders is not, as
between such Subsidiary Guarantor and Securityholders, a payment by such
Subsidiary Guarantor on Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

          Section 12.07. Relative Rights. This Article 12 defines the relative
                         ---------------
rights of Securityholders and holders of Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
Guarantor. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

          (1) impair, as between a Subsidiary Guarantor and Securityholders, the
     obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor which is absolute and unconditional,
     to make payments with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent
     set forth in Article 11; or

                                      -77-
<PAGE>

          (2) prevent the Trustee or any Securityholder from exercising its
     available remedies upon a default by a Subsidiary Guarantor under its
     obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, subject to the
     rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor to
     receive distributions otherwise payable to Securityholders.

          Section 12.08. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by a Subsidiary
                         -------------------------------------------------
Guarantor. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
---------
Guarantor to enforce the subordination of the obligations of such Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by such
Subsidiary Guarantor or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.

          Section 12.09. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding
                         ----------------------------------
Section 12.03, the Trustee or the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on
the Securities and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts
that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than two
Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Trust Officer of the Trustee
receives notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be made under this
Article 12. A Subsidiary Guarantor, the Registrar or co-registrar, the Paying
Agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
Guarantor may give the notice; provided, however, that if an issue of Senior
                               --------  -------
Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor has a Representative, only the
Representative may give the notice.

          The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior
Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee.  The Registrar and co-registrar and the Paying Agent may do
the same with like rights.  The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set
forth in this Article 12 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
Guarantor which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other
holder of Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor; and nothing in
Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.
Nothing in this Article 12 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee
under or pursuant to Section 7.07.

          Section 12.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a
                         ----------------------------------------
distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness
of a Subsidiary Guarantor, the distribution may be made and the notice given to
their Representative (if any).

          Section 12.11. Article 12 Not To Prevent Events of Default or Limit
                         ----------------------------------------------------
Right To Accelerate. The failure of a Subsidiary Guarantor to make a payment on
-------------------
any of its obligations by reason of any provision in this Article 12 shall not
be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default by such Subsidiary
Guarantor under such obligations. Nothing in this Article 12 shall have any
effect on the right of the Securityholders or the Trustee to make a demand for
payment on a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Article 11.

          Section 12.12. Trustee Entitled To Rely. Upon any payment or
                         ------------------------
distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee and the Securityholders
shall be entitled to rely conclusively (i) upon any order or decree of a court
of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in
Section 12.02 are pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or
agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to
the Securityholders or (iii) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of

                                      -78-
<PAGE>

a Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor and other Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12.
In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is
required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior
Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee may request such Person to
furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount
of Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor held by such Person, the
extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this
Article 12, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such
Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall
be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to
this Article 12.

          Section 12.13. Trustee To Effectuate Subordination. Each
                         -----------------------------------
Securityholder by accepting a Security authorizes and directs the Trustee on his
or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Securityholders and the
holders of Senior Indebtedness of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors as provided
in this Article 12 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all
such purposes.

          Section 12.14. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior
                         -------------------------------------------
Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe
--------------------------------------
any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
Guarantor and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay
over or distribute to Securityholders or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor or
any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of
such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 12 or
otherwise.

          Section 12.15. Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness of a
                         -----------------------------------------------
Subsidiary Guarantor on Subordination Provisions. Each Securityholder by
------------------------------------------------
accepting a Security acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination
provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to
each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor, whether such
Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the
Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior
Indebtedness and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively
to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to
hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.

          Section 12.16. Defeasance. The terms of this Article 12 shall not
                         ----------
apply to payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held
in trust by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Securities pursuant to the provisions described in Section 8.03.

shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to
surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities as
expressly provided for herein) as to all outstanding Securities hereunder, and
the Trustee, upon Company Request and at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, when

          (a) either (1) all such Securities theretofore authenticated and
delivered (other than lost, stolen or destroyed Securities which have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08) have been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation; or (2) all Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation (x) have become due and payable, (y) will become due and
payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or (z) are to be called for
redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
expense, of the Company; and the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds
in trust an amount in United States dollars or direct obligations of, or
obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally
guaranteed by, the United States of America (or by any agency thereof to the
extent such obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States of America), in each case maturing prior to the date the Securities have
become due and payable, the Stated Maturity of the Securities or the relevant
redemption date for the Notes, as the case may be, sufficient to pay and
discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Securities not theretofore delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of, premium, if any, and
accrued interest at maturity, Stated Maturity or redemption date;

of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material
agreement or instrument to which the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any
Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any
of the Company's Subsidiaries is bound.

          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge hereof, the obligations
of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if United States dollars
shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of
subsection (a) of this Section 13.01, the obligations of the Trustee under

to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms
or provisions hereof.

          Section 14.14. Acts of Securityholders. (a) Any request, demand,
                         -----------------------
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Indenture to be given or taken by Securityholders or Securityholders of any
Tranche may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in person or by an
agent duly appointed in writing or may be embodied in or evidenced by an
electronic transmission which identifies the documents containing the proposal
on which such consent is requested and certifies such Securityholders' consent
thereto and agreement to be bound thereby; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Company.

          (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such

                                      -83-
<PAGE>

thereof. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a
partnership, on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and
date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the
person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient.

          (c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security
Register.

          (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company
may, at its option, by resolution of the board of directors of the Company, fix
in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Such record date
shall be the later of 10 days prior to the first solicitation of such action or
the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 2.05. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given
before or after the record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of
business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of
determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities
outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that
purpose the Securities outstanding shall be computed as of the record date;
provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on the
record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant
to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record
date, and that no such authorization, agreement or consent may be amended,
withdrawn or revoked once given by a Holder, unless the Company shall provide
for such amendment, withdrawal or revocation in conjunction with such
solicitation of authorizations, agreements or consents or unless and to the
extent required by applicable law.

          (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind the Holder of
every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done 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 Security.
