ARTICLE II.




THE NOTES




     Section 2.1. Form and Dating. The Initial Notes and the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication relating thereto shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A hereto, provided, that any Initial Notes issued in a public
offering shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. The Exchange
Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication relating thereto shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. The Notes may have notations,
legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or depository rule
or usage. The Company and the Trustee shall approve the form of the Notes and
any notation, legend or endorsement on them. Each Note shall be dated the date
of its issuance and shall show the date of its authentication.



          The terms and provisions contained in the Notes annexed hereto as Exhibits
A and B shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this
Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their
execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and
provisions and to be bound thereby.



          Notes offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A and Notes offered and sold
in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or
more permanent global Notes in registered form, substantially in the form set
forth in Exhibit A (each, a “Global Note”), deposited with the Trustee, as
custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by
the Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legend set forth in
Exhibit C. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Note may from time to
time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the
Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, as hereinafter provided.



          Notes issued in exchange for interests in a Global Note pursuant to
Section 2.16 may be issued and Notes offered and sold in reliance on any other
exemption from registration under the Securities Act other than as described in
the preceding paragraph shall be issued in the form of permanent certificated
Notes in registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A (the
“Physical Notes”).



          All Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall remain in the
form of a Global Note until the consummation of the Exchange Offer pursuant to
the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that all of the time
periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement to be complied with by
the Company have been so complied with.



     Section 2.2. Execution and Authentication; Aggregate Principal Amount. An
Officer of the Company (duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions)
shall sign and attest to the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile
signature.



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



-10-









 





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



          The Trustee shall authenticate all (i) Initial Notes; (ii) Private
Exchange Notes from time to time for issue only in exchange for a like
principal amount of Initial Notes and (iii) Unrestricted Notes from time to
time upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’
Certificate of the Company. Each such written order shall specify the amount
of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be
authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes, Private Exchange
Notes or Unrestricted Notes and whether the Notes are to be issued as Physical
Notes or Global Notes or such other information as the Trustee may reasonably
request.



          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating
Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. Unless
otherwise provided in the appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating
Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with
the Company or with any Affiliate of the Company.



          The Notes shall be issuable in fully registered form only, without
coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Subject
to applicable law, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes which may be
authenticated and delivered on the Issue Date shall not exceed $250,000,000;
provided that, the Company may, without the consent of the Holders, issue
additional Notes under this Indenture at any time hereafter.



     Section 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an
office or agency (which shall be located in the Borough of Manhattan in the
City of New York, State of New York) where (a) Notes may be presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), (b)
Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”) and (c)
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this
Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and
of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-Registrars
and one or more additional paying agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional Paying Agent. The Company may
act as its own Paying Agent. If the Company elects to act as its own paying
agent, the Company will notify the Trustee of its election and will hold for
the benefit of the Holders all assets for the payment of principal of premium,
if any, or interest on, the Notes.



          The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall incorporate the
provisions of the TIA and 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 shall fail to maintain a Registrar
or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.



-11-









 





          The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and
custodian for service of demands and notices in connection with the Notes. Any
of the Registrar, the Paying Agent or any other agent may resign upon 30 days’
notice to the Company.



     Section 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Assets in Trust. The Company shall
require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such
Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee
all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to
it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and the Company and the
Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company (or any
other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. The Company at any
time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the
Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the Trustee may at any time
during the continuance of any payment Default, upon written request to a Paying
Agent, require such Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the
Trustee and to account for any assets distributed. Upon distribution to the
Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered to the Paying Agent, the
Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets.



     Section 2.5. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a
form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the
names and addresses of the Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA §
312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish or
cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee five (5) Business Days before
each Record Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing
a list as of such date and in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require
of the names and addresses of the Holders, which list may be conclusively
relied upon by the Trustee, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA §
312(a).



     Section 2.6. Transfer and Exchange. Subject to Sections 2.16 and 2.17,
when Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to
register the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal
principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar or
co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if
its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the
Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar or co-Registrar,
duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s
request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
transfer tax, fee or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge
payable upon exchanges or transfers pursuant to Section 2.10 or 3.1, in which
event the Company shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes or
charges).



          The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the
transfer of or exchange of any Note (i) during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of
Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such



-12-









 





mailing and (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to
Article III, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.




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



     Section 2.7. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the
Trustee or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost,
destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If
required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder must provide an indemnity
bond or other indemnity of reasonable tenor, sufficient in the reasonable
judgment of the Company and the Trustee, to protect the Company, the Trustee or
any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.
Every replacement Note shall constitute an additional obligation of the
Company.



     Section 2.8. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all the
Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those canceled by it,
those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as
not outstanding. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9, a Note does not
cease to be outstanding because the Company or any of its Affiliates holds the
Note.



          If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 (other than a mutilated Note
surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee
receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected
purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such
Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.7.



          If, on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date, the Paying Agent holds U.S.
Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay all of the
principal, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes payable on that date
and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to
the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes shall be
deemed not to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.



     Section 2.9. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the
required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver,
consent or notice, Notes owned by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company
shall be considered as though they are not outstanding, except that for the
purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on
any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the
Trustee has been informed in writing by the Company to be so owned shall be so
considered. The Company shall notify the Trustee, in writing, when either it
or, to its knowledge, any of its Affiliates repurchases or otherwise acquires
Notes, of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes so repurchased or
otherwise acquired and such other information as the Trustee may reasonably
request and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely thereon.



-13-









 





     Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until typewritten Notes are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary
Notes upon receipt of a written order of the Company in the form of an
Officers’ Certificate. The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of
temporary Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Notes
are to be authenticated. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of
typewritten Notes but may have variations that the Company consider appropriate
for temporary Notes and so indicate in the Officers’ Certificate. Without
unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate, upon receipt of a written order of the Company pursuant to
Section 2.2, typewritten Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.



     Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to
the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward
to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment.
The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying
Agent, and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the
Company, shall dispose, in its customary manner, of all Notes surrendered for
transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. Subject to Section 2.7, the
Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have paid or
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company shall acquire any of
the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction
of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11.



     Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. The Company shall pay interest on
overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate of interest borne by
the Notes. The Company shall, to the extent lawful, pay interest on overdue
installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from
time to time on demand at the rate of interest borne by the Notes. All such
interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months, and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days
elapsed.



          If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall
pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on
the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special
record date, which special record date shall be the fifteenth day next
preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest
or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest
proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (a
“Default Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the
date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for
the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in
this Section; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company deposit
monies proposed to be paid in respect of defaulted interest later than 11:00
a.m. New York City time of the proposed Default Interest Payment Date. At
least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the Company shall mail
(or cause to be mailed) to each Holder, as of a recent date selected by the
Company, with a copy to the Trustee at least 20 days prior to such special
record date, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the
Default Interest Payment Date and the amount of defaulted interest, and
interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid



-14-









 





prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.1(1)
shall be paid to Holders as of the regular record date for the Interest Payment
Date for which interest has not been paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner
not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange.




     Section 2.13. CUSIP Number. In issuing the Notes, the Company may use a
“CUSIP” number, and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices
of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that
no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the
correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the
Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any
change in the CUSIP number.



          In the event that the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate any Notes issued under this Indenture subsequent to the Issue Date
pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain
the same “CUSIP” number for such Notes as is printed on the Notes outstanding
at such time and provides written notice to the Trustee to such effect;
provided, however, that if any series of Notes issued under this Indenture
subsequent to the Issue Date is determined, pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel
of the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to be a
different class of security than the Notes outstanding at such time for federal

ARTICLE VI.




DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES




     Section 6.1. Events of Default.



          An “Event of Default” occurs if:




     (1) a default by the Company in the payment when due of interest on
the Notes, which default continues for a period of 30 days;




     (2) a default by the Company in the payment when due of the
principal or Redemption Price due with respect to the Notes;




     (3) a default by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with
respect to its obligation to pay Indebtedness for borrowed money (other
than any Non-Recourse Indebtedness), which default shall have resulted in
the acceleration of, or be a failure to pay at final maturity,
Indebtedness aggregating more than $50 million;




     (4) a failure to perform any other covenant or warranty of the
Company herein, which continues for 30 days after written notice;




     (5) final judgments or orders are rendered against the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary which require the payment by the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary of an amount (to the extent not covered by
insurance) in excess of $50 million and such judgments or orders remain
unstayed or unsatisfied for more than 60 days and are not being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings;




     (6) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to any
Bankruptcy Law applicable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary:
(A) commences a voluntary case; (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




     (7) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree
under any applicable Bankruptcy Law: (A) for relief in an involuntary
case against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (B) appointing a
Custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or for any
substantial part of its respective property; or (C) ordering its winding
up or liquidation of the Company or any Restricted Security; and the
order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.



          Each of the occurrences described in clauses (1) through (7) will
constitute an Event of Default whatever the reason for the occurrence 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.



          The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11 of the United States Code or any
similar United States Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The term
“Custodian” means



-26-









 





any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official
under any Bankruptcy Law.




          A Default under clause (4) of this Section is not an Event of Default
until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with regard to which the Company
has failed to comply with a covenant or agreement notify the Company and the
Trustee, of the Default and the Company does not cure the Default within 45
days after the giving of the notice. The notice must specify the Default,
demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.”



          The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 20 days after it occurs,
written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any event of which
the Company is aware which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time
would become an Event of Default under clause (4), its status and what action
the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect to it.



     Section 6.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, unless the principal of the Notes
has already become due and payable, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or
the Holders of not less than 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee may declare the
outstanding principal of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest through
the date of such declaration on all of the Notes to be immediately due and
payable. Upon such a declaration, such outstanding principal amount and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be due and payable immediately. If
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(6) or (7) of this Indenture occurs
and is continuing, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall
automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration
or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, on behalf
of the Holders of all of the Notes, by notice to the Company and the Trustee
(and without notice to any other Holder), may rescind any 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 the outstanding principal amount of any of the Notes that has
become due solely as a result of acceleration and if all amounts due to the
Trustee under Section 7.7 of this Indenture have been paid. No such rescission
shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.



          In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this
Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned
because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or
shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such
case the Company, the Holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall be restored
respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder and all rights,
remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.



          The Trustee shall within 90 days after a Trust Officer has knowledge of
the occurrence of a Default or any Event of Default, mail to all Holders, as
the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Note register, notice
of all Defaults or Events of Default known to a Trust Officer, unless such
Default or Event of Default is cured or waived before the giving



-27-









 





of such notice and provided that, except in the case of default in the
payment of the principal, interest or Redemption Price, as the case may be, on
any of the Notes, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if
and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or officers of the Trustee in
good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of
the Holders.




          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to
the limitations specified herein.



     Section 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default as to a series occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the
payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes or
to enforce the performance of any provision under this Indenture.



          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of
the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy
accruing upon an Event of Default will 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 6.4. Waiver of Existing Defaults. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Notes, by notice to the Trustee may consent to the waiver of
any past Default with regard to the Notes and its consequences except (i) a
default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of,
Notes, or (ii) a default in respect of a covenant or a provision that under
Section 9.2 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of
all Notes then outstanding. The defaults described in clauses (i) and (ii) in
the previous sentence may be waived with the consent of the Holders of all
Notes then outstanding. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is
deemed cured and not continuing, but no waiver will extend to any subsequent or
other Default or impair any consequent right.



     Section 6.5. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with regard
to the Notes or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with
regard to the Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.1, that the
Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that
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 as a result of a
direction given under this Section, the Trustee will be entitled to
indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses
and expenses caused by taking or not taking that action.



     Section 6.6. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. The Company
covenants that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section
6.1(1) or (2), then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the
Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the



-28-









 





Notes, the whole amount that will then have become due and payable on all
such Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, with interest on the
overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such
interest is enforceable under applicable law) on the overdue installments of
interest at the rate borne by the Notes; and, in addition, such further amount
as will be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including
a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel,
and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than
through its negligence or bad faith. Until such demand by the Trustee, the
Company may pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes
to the registered Holders, whether or not the Notes are overdue.




     Section 6.7. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not pursue any remedy with
respect to this Indenture 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 principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;



          (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity 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 the Event of
Default has not been waived; and



          (5) the Trustee has received no contrary direction from the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding during such 60-day
period.



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



     Section 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in
payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, specified in clause
(1) or (2) of Section 6.1 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 of principal, premium, if any, and interest remaining
unpaid (together with interest on that unpaid interest to the extent lawful)
and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7.



     Section 6.9. 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 Holders allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its 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, if the
Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay
to the Trustee any amount due it for the



-29-









 





reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee
under Section 7.7.




     Section 6.10. Restoration of Positions. If a judicial proceeding by the
Trustee or a Holder to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture is
dismissed or decided favorably to the Company, except as otherwise provided in
the judicial proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders will be
restored to the positions they would have been in if the judicial proceeding
had not been instituted.



     Section 6.11. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to
this Article VI with respect to the Notes, it will pay out the money or
property in the following order:



          FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7;



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



          THIRD: to the Company.



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



     Section 6.12. 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 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7, or a suit by Holders of in
aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, or
to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note held by that Holder on
or after the due date provided in the Note.



     Section 6.13. Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company agrees (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts
to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law
or any usury or other law, wherever enacted, now or at any subsequent time in
force, which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any
portion of the principal of, premium, if any, and/or interest on any of the
Notes as contemplated in this Indenture, or which may affect the covenants or
performance of this Indenture, and the Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law and agrees that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power granted to the Trustee in this Indenture, but (to the extent that it may



-30-









 





lawfully do so) will suffer and permit the execution of any such power as
though no such law had been enacted.




     Section 6.14. Liability of Stockholders, Officers, Directors and
Incorporators. No stockholder, officer, director or incorporator, as such,
past, present or future, of the Company, or any of its successor corporations,
will have any personal liability in respect of the Company’s obligations under
this Indenture or any Notes by reason of his or its status as such stockholder,
officer, director or incorporator; provided, however, that nothing in this
Indenture or in the Notes will prevent recourse to and enforcement of the
liability of any stockholder or subscriber to Capital Stock in respect of
shares of Capital Stock which have not been fully paid up.



ARTICLE VII.




TRUSTEE




     Section 7.1. Duties of Trustee.



     (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee
will 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 man would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.



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




     (i) 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 will be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee; and




     (ii) the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in them, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture in the absence of bad faith on the
Trustee’s part; provided, however, that the Trustee will examine the
certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they substantially
conform to the requirements of this Indenture.



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




     (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b)
of this Section 7.1;




     (2) the Trustee will 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;




     (3) the Trustee will 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 6.5; and



-31-









 






     (4) the Trustee will not be required to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties under this Indenture or any Supplemental
Indenture or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it
has reasonable grounds to believe repayment of the funds or
adequate indemnity against the risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.



     (d) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting
the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to the
provisions of this Section 7.1 and to the provisions of the TIA.



     (e) The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or
power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense.



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



     Section 7.2. Rights of Trustee.



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



     (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel which conforms to Section 11.5.
The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith in reliance on such an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.



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



     (d) The Trustee will 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, except conduct which constitutes willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.



     (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the Trustee will not be
liable for any action it takes or omits in reliance on, and in accordance with,
written advice of counsel.



     (f) The Trustee will not be required to investigate any facts or matters
stated in any document, but if it decides to investigate any matters or facts,
the Trustee or its agents or attorneys will be entitled to examine the books,
records and premises of the Company.



     Section 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may
otherwise deal with the Company or any of its affiliates with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar
or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must
comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.



-32-









 





     Section 7.4. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (i) is not responsible for
and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture,
(ii) will not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the
Notes, and (iii) will not be responsible for any statement of the Company in
this Indenture, other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, or in
any document used in the sale of the Notes, other than statements, if any,
provided in writing by the Trustee for use in such a prospectus.



     Section 7.5. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee will give to the Holders
notice of any Default with regard to the Notes known to the Trustee, within 90
days after it occurs; provided, that, except in the case of a Default in the
payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the
Trustee will be protected in withholding notice of the Default if and so long
as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that the
withholding of the notice is in the interests of the Holders.



     Section 7.6. Reports by Trustee. Within 60 days after each November 30
beginning with the November 30 following the date of this Indenture, the
Trustee will mail to each Holder, at the name and address which appears on the
registration books of the Company, and to each Holder who has, within the two
years preceding the mailing, filed that person’s name and address with the
Trustee for that purpose and each Holder whose name and address have been
furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.5, a brief report dated as of
that November 30 which complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also will
comply with TIA Section 313(b).



          A copy of each report will at the time of its mailing to Holders be filed
with each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed and also with the SEC.
The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any
stock exchange and of any delisting of the Notes.



     Section 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company will pay to the
Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The
Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Company will 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. Those expenses will include the reasonable compensation and
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel,
accountants and experts. The Company will indemnify the Trustee against any
and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
incurred by it in connection with the administration of the trust created by
this Indenture and the performance of its duties under this Indenture. The
Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve
the Company of its obligations under this Section. The Company will defend the
claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the
fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement
made without its consent. The Company need not reimburse any expense or
indemnify against any loss, expense or liability incurred by the Trustee to the
extent it is due to the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.



-33-









 





          To secure the Company’s obligation to make payments to the Trustee under
this Section 7.7, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money
or property held or collected by the Trustee, other than money or property held
in trust to pay principal or interest on the Notes. Those obligations of the
Company will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.



          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.1 occurs, the expenses and
the compensation for the services of the Trustee are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.



          For purposes of this Section 7.7, “Trustee” will include any predecessor
Trustee, but the willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith of any Trustee
will not affect the rights of any other Trustee under this Section 7.7.



     Section 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time
by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the
Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company may
remove the Trustee if:



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



          (2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief
is entered with respect to the Trustee under any bankruptcy law;



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



          (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.



          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office
of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may
appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company.



          No removal or appointment of a Trustee will be valid if that removal or
appointment would conflict with any law applicable to the Company.



          A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment
to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the
retiring Trustee will, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7,
transfer all property held by it as a Trustee to the successor Trustee, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the
successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. A successor Trustee will mail notice of its succession to
each Holder.



          If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or
the Holders of a majority in



-34-









 





aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding 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 Holder 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 7.7 will continue for the benefit of
the retiring Trustee.



     Section 7.9. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust assets to, another Person, the resulting, surviving
or transferee Person will, without any further act, be the successor Trustee.



          If at the time a successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to the
Trustee succeeds to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes have
been authenticated but not delivered, the successor to the Trustee may adopt
the certificate of authentication of the predecessor Trustee, and deliver the
Notes which were authenticated by the predecessor Trustee; and if at that time
any of the Notes have not been authenticated, the successor to the Trustee may
authenticate those Notes either in the name of the predecessor or in its own
name as the successor to the Trustee; and in either case the certificates of
authentication will have the full force provided in this Indenture for
certificates of authentication.



     Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee will at all
times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Trustee will at all
times have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth
in its most recently published annual report of condition, which will be deemed
for this paragraph to be its combined capital and surplus. The Trustee will
comply with TIA Section 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by
the second sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9).



     Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims. The Trustee will comply
with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA
Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed will be subject to
TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.



ARTICLE VIII.

     Section 8.1. Termination of the Company’s Obligations. When (1) the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes theretofore
authenticated (other than any Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen
and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been
authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore canceled, or (2) all the Notes
not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall
have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable

by Section 8.3 and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with
respect to the Notes; the Company, however, hereby agrees to reimburse the
Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred
by the Trustee and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter
reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this
Indenture or the Notes.




     Section 8.2. Application of Trust Money. Subject to Section 8.4, the
Trustee will hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with
it pursuant to Section 8.1. It will apply the deposited money and the money
from the U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance
with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest, if any, on the Notes with regard to which the money or U.S.
Government Obligations were deposited.



     Section 8.3. Officers’ Certificate; Opinion of Counsel. Upon any
application or demand by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under
Section 6.1, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture
relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions
precedent have been complied with.



               Each such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel provided for in
this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant pursuant to the previous paragraph shall comply with the
provisions of Section 11.5.



     Section 8.4. Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent
will promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess money or securities
held by them at any time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay to the
Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal,
premium or interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After such payment,
all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to that money
will cease.



     Section 8.5. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable
to apply any money in accordance with Section 8.2 by reason of any order or
judgment of any court of governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this
Indenture shall be revived and reinstated with respect to the



-36-









 





Notes as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until such
time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in
accordance with Section 8.2, provided, however, that if the Company makes any
payment of principal amount or Redemption Price of or interest on any Note
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the
money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.




ARTICLE IX.




MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE




     Section 9.1. Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may
amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes without notice to or consent of
any Holder:




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




     (2) to comply with Article 5;




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




     (4) to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the
rights of any Holder.



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



     Section 9.2. With Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may
amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes without notice to any Holder
but with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive compliance by the
Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes without notice to any
Holder. However, without the consent of the Holder so affected, no amendment,
supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.4, may:




     (1) extend the fixed maturity of any Note or any installment of
interest thereon, reduce the principal amount, interest rate, Redemption
Price, or amount due upon acceleration, impair the right of a Holder to
institute suit for the payment thereof, change the currency in which the
Notes are payable;




     (2) reduce the percentage of Notes required to consent to an
amendment, supplement or waiver;




     (3) release any Guarantor except as provided in Article X hereof; or



-37-









 






     (4) make any change in Section 6.4 or 6.8 or the second sentence of
this Section.



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



          SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or
supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will comply with the TIA as then in
effect.



          SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. A consent to an
amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder will bind the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt
as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on
any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent
as to the Holder’s Note or portion of a Note. For a revocation to be
effective, the Trustee must receive notice of the revocation before the date
the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms, it will
bind every Holder of every Note.



          SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes
the terms of the Notes, the Trustee may require the Holder of a Note to deliver
the Holder’s Note to the Trustee, who will place an appropriate notation about
the amendment, supplement or waiver on the Note and will return it to the
Holder. Alternatively, the Company may, in exchange for the Note, issue, and
the Trustee will authenticate, a new Note that reflects the amendment,
supplement or waiver.



          SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee will sign any
amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to Article II or this
Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the
rights, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does adversely affect
those rights, liabilities or immunities, the Trustee may but need not sign it.
The Company may not sign an amendment or supplement until the amendment or
supplement is approved by an appropriate Board Resolution.



ARTICLE X.




GUARANTEE OF NOTES




     Section 10.1. Unconditional Guarantee. Each Guarantor, if any, hereby
jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (such
guarantee to be referred to herein as a “Guarantee”) to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its
successors and assigns, that: (a) all amounts due with respect to the Notes
shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and (to the
extent permitted by law) interest, if any, on the Notes and all other
obligations of the Company or the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee
hereunder or thereunder and all other obligations shall be promptly paid in
full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b)
in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of
such other obligations, the same shall be promptly



-38-









 





paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the
extension or renewal, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of
any other obligation of the Company to the Holders under this Indenture or
under the Notes, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay,
or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of
Default under this Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default
under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of Notes to accelerate the
obligations of the Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same
extent as the obligations of the Company.




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



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



          Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee
shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount pro
rata, based on the net assets of each Guarantor, determined in accordance with
GAAP.



     Section 10.2. Limitations on Guarantees; Release or Suspension of
Particular Guarantors’ Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor under
its Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect
to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after
giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its
Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture,
will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not
constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or
state law.



-39-









 





          The Guarantors shall include (i) each of the Guarantors named on the
signature pages of this Indenture, (ii) each of the Company’s Subsidiaries that
in the future executes a supplemental indenture in which such Subsidiary agrees
to be bound by the terms hereof as a Guarantor; and (iii) any subsidiary that
is a “Restricted Subsidiary” pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of May 3,
2000, by and among the Company, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee,
relating to the Company’s 9.95% Senior Notes due 2009, whether formed or
acquired after the Issue Date, that guarantees any outstanding Indebtedness of
the Company or any Subsidiary.



          If any Guarantor is released from its guarantee of the outstanding
Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, such Guarantor shall
be automatically released from its obligations as Guarantor, and from and after
such date, such Guarantor shall cease to constitute a Guarantor.



          The obligations of a Guarantor will be automatically suspended, and such
Guarantor shall not constitute a Guarantor and shall not have any obligations
with regard to the Notes during any period when the principal amount of the
Company’s obligations and any Restricted Subsidiary’s obligations with regard
to the Company’s obligations, in each case other than the Notes and other
Indebtedness containing provisions similar to this, that the Guarantor is
guaranteeing total less than $75 million.



     Section 10.3. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To further evidence
the Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1, each Guarantor hereby agrees to
execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee in substantially the form of
Exhibit F hereto. Such Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor
by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer of each Guarantor, each
of whom, in each case, shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all
requisite corporate action. The validity and enforceability of any Guarantee
shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any Note or Notes.



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



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



     Section 10.4. Release of a Guarantor due to Extraordinary Events. If no
Default exists or would exist under this Indenture, upon the sale or
disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor by the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company, or upon the consolidation or merger of a Guarantor
with or into any Person (in each case, other than to the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company or Subsidiary), or if any Guarantor is dissolved or
liquidated, such Guarantor and each Subsidiary of such Guarantor that is also a
Guarantor shall be deemed released from all obligations under this Article X
without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.



-40-









 





          The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the
Company or a Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from
its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Notes under this Article X.



          Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent
any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another
Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a
Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or
another Guarantor.



     Section 10.5. Waiver of Subrogation. Until this Indenture is discharged
and all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full, each Guarantor hereby
irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which
it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the
existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations
under the Notes or this Indenture and such Guarantor’s obligations under this
Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the
Holders against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises
in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without
limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner,
payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount
shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any
amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of Notes under the Notes, this
Indenture, or any other document or instrument delivered under or in connection
with such agreements or instruments, shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the
benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the Holders
and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such
Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee
or the Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will
receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section
10.5 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.



     Section 10.6. No Set-Off. Each payment to be made by a Guarantor
hereunder in respect of the Obligations shall be payable in the currency or
currencies in which such Obligations are denominated, and shall be made without
set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.



     Section 10.7. Obligations Absolute. The obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder are and shall be absolute and unconditional and any monies or amounts
expressed to be owing or payable by each Guarantor hereunder which may not be
recoverable from such Guarantor on the basis of a Guarantee shall be
recoverable from such Guarantor as a primary obligor and principal debtor in
respect thereof.



     Section 10.8. Obligations Continuing. The obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until
all the obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. Each Guarantor
agrees with the Trustee that it will from time to time deliver to the Trustee
suitable acknowledgments of its continued liability hereunder and under



-41-









 





any other instrument or instruments in such form as counsel to the Trustee
may advise and as will prevent any action brought against it in respect of any
default hereunder being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter
in force and, in the event of the failure of a Guarantor so to do, it hereby
irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of such Guarantor to
make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or
other instruments as may from time to time become necessary or advisable, in
the judgment of the Trustee on the advice of counsel, to fully maintain and
keep in force the liability of such Guarantor hereunder.




     Section 10.9. Obligations Not Reduced. The obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged except solely by the
payment of such principal, premium, if any, interest, fees and other monies or
amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to
Article VIII be or become owing or payable under or by virtue of or otherwise
in connection with the Notes or this Indenture.



     Section 10.10. Obligations Reinstated. The obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced the
obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (whether such payment shall have been
made by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of a Guarantor) is
rescinded or reclaimed from the Trustee or any of the Holders upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any
Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If
demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Company is stayed
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company,
all such Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration
shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor as provided herein.



     Section 10.11. Obligations Not Affected. Except as otherwise provided in
Sections 10.2 and 10.4, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not
be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter or
thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment
hereunder (and whether or not known or consented to by any Guarantor or any of
the Holders) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial
defense to a claim against any Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release
or otherwise exonerate any Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder or
otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any of the
Holders or otherwise, including, without limitation:



     (a) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other
circumstance relating to the Company or any other person, including any
insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition,
dissolution, winding up or other proceeding involving or affecting the Company
or any other person;



     (b) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of
any indebtedness or other obligation of the Company or any other person under
this Indenture, the Notes or any other document or instrument;



     (c) any failure of the Company, whether or not without fault on its part,
to perform or comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes,
or to give notice thereof to a Guarantor;



-42-









 





     (d) the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to
take or enforce or exercise any right or remedy from or against the Company or
any other Person or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any
such right or remedy;



     (e) the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions,
waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other
Person;



     (f) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, any of the Notes, or any other amendment, variation, supplement,
replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Notes or
this Indenture, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in any
amount due with respect to any of the Notes;



     (g) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses,
assets, capital structure or constitution of the Company or a Guarantor;



     (h) any merger or amalgamation of the Company or a Guarantor with any
Person or Persons;



     (i) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or
ordinances of any jurisdiction by any present or future action of any
governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise
affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the
Obligations or the obligations of a Guarantor under its Guarantee; and



     (j) any other circumstance (other than by complete, irrevocable payment)
that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of
the Company under this Indenture or the Notes or of a Guarantor in respect of
its Guarantee hereunder.



     Section 10.12. Waiver. Without in any way limiting the provisions of
Section 10.1 hereof, each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof,
notice of any liability of any Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance
by the Holders upon the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, and diligence,
presentment, demand for payment on the Company, protest, notice of dishonor or
non-payment of any of the Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the
Company or any Guarantor of any kind whatsoever.



     Section 10.13. No Obligation to Take Action Against the Company. Neither
the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or
exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security
for the Obligations or against the Company or any other Person or any Property
of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand
payment and performance by any or all Guarantors of their liabilities and
obligations under their Guarantees or under this Indenture.



     Section 10.14. Dealing with the Company and Others. The Holders, without
releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the
obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor hereunder and without the consent
of or notice to any Guarantor, may:



     (a) grant time, renewals, extension, compromises, concessions, waivers,
releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person;



-43-









 





     (b) take or abstain from taking security or collateral from the Company or
from perfecting security or collateral of the Company;



     (c) release, discharge, compromise, realize, enforce or otherwise deal
with or do any act or thing in respect of (with or without consideration) any
and all collateral, mortgages or other security given by the Company or any
third party with respect to the obligations or matters contemplated by this
Indenture or the Notes;



     (d) accept compromises or arrangements from the Company;



     (e) apply all monies at any time received from the Company or from any
security upon such part of the Obligations as the Holders may see fit or change
any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Holders may
see fit; and



     (f) otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the
Company and all other Persons and any security as the Holders or the Trustee
may see fit.



     Section 10.15. Default and Enforcement. If any Guarantor fails to pay in
accordance with Section 10.1 hereof, the Trustee may proceed in its name as
trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the Guarantee of any such Guarantor and
such Guarantor’s obligations thereunder and hereunder by any remedy provided by
law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from such
Guarantor the obligations.



     Section 10.16. Amendment, Etc. No amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Indenture relating to any Guarantor or consent to any
departure by any Guarantor or any other Person from any such provision will in
any event be effective unless it is signed by such Guarantor and the Trustee.



     Section 10.17. Acknowledgment. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges
communication of the terms of this Indenture and the Notes and consents to and
approves of the same.



     Section 10.18. Costs and Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay on demand by
the Trustee any and all costs, fees and expenses (including, without
limitation, legal fees on a solicitor and client basis) incurred by the
Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel or any of the Holders in enforcing
any of their rights under any Guarantee.



     Section 10.19. No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No Guarantee
shall operate by way of merger of any of the obligations of a Guarantor under
any other agreement, including, without limitation, this Indenture. No failure
to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the
Holders, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the
Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges in the Guarantee and
under this Indenture, the Notes and any other document or instrument between a
Guarantor and/or the Company and the Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.



-44-









 





     Section 10.20. Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to the survival
of any of the other obligations of each Guarantor hereunder, the obligations of
each Guarantor under Section 10.1 shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and shall be enforceable against such Guarantor without regard to
and without giving effect to any defense, right of offset or counterclaim
available to or which may be asserted by the Company or any Guarantor.



     Section 10.21. Guarantee in Addition to Other Obligations. The
obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Indenture are in
addition to and not in substitution for any other obligations to the Trustee or
to any of the Holders in relation to this Indenture or the Notes and any
guarantees or security at any time held by or for the benefit of any of them.



     Section 10.22. Severability. Any provision of this Article X which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the
remaining provisions and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction unless its removal would substantially defeat the basic
intent, spirit and purpose of this Indenture and this Article X.



     Section 10.23. Successors and Assigns. Each Guarantee shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of each Guarantor and the Trustee and the other
Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no
Guarantor may assign any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder.



     Section 10.24. Acknowledgement under TIA. Each Guarantor acknowledges
that, by virtue of its Guarantee, it is becoming an “obligor” on indenture
securities under the TIA.



ARTICLE XI.

(REVERSE OF SECURITY)




5.50% Senior Note due 2014, Series A




          Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture, dated as of August 12, 2004 (the
“Indenture”), and as amended from time to time, by and between Lennar
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Guarantors named
therein and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A. as trustee (the “Trustee”).



1. INTEREST




          The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note
at the rate per annum above. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid,
from the Issue Date. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date, commencing as of the Interest Payment Date
referred to above and upon redemption. Interest will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month,
the actual number of days elapsed.



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



2. METHOD OF PAYMENT




          Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall
(a) pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who
are the registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the Record Date
immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Notes are canceled,
transferred or exchanged after such Record Date, and (b) make all other
payments in respect of the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of
Notes at the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Redemption
Date or Maturity, as the case may be. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying
Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Notes referred to in clause
(b) of the preceding sentence. The Company shall pay cash amounts in money of
the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. However, the Company may make the cash payments by
check payable in such money.



3. PAYING AGENT, AND REGISTRAR



          Initially, J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association
(the “Trustee”), shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may
appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice,
other than notice to the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.



4. INDENTURE




A-1









 








          The Company issued the Notes under the Indenture. This Note is one of a
duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its 5.50% Senior
Notes due 2014, Series A (the “Initial Notes”). The Notes include the Initial
Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Unrestricted Notes, as defined below,
issued in exchange for the Initial Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement. The Initial Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Unrestricted
Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The
terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of
the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “TIA”), as
in effect on the date of the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes
are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The
Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company. Each Holder, by
accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the
Indenture, as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with its
terms.



5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY




          No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Notes are redeemable as a
whole, or from time to time in part, at any time at the option of the Company
at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: (a) 100% of their principal
amount; and (b) the present value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the
Notes being redeemed on the Redemption Date, discounted to the Redemption Date,
on a semiannual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points (0.20%),
together, in either case, with accrued interest to the Redemption Date on their
principal amount.



6. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY




          Notice of redemption at the option of the Company shall be mailed at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of
Notes to be redeemed at the Holder’s registered address. If money sufficient
to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed
on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent prior to or on the
Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes or portions thereof on
and after such date. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed
in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.



7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS




          Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement the Company will be
obligated to consummate an exchange offer pursuant to which the Holder of this
Note shall have the right to exchange this Note for the Company’s 5.50% Senior
Notes due 2014, Series B (the “Unrestricted Notes”), which will be registered
under the Securities Act, in like principal amount and having terms identical
in all material respects as the Initial Notes. The Holders of the Initial
Notes shall be entitled to receive certain additional interest payments in the
event such exchange offer is not consummated and upon certain other conditions,
all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement.



A-2









 





8. DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE




          The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiplies of $1,000. A Holder may transfer Notes in
accordance with the Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture. The Registrar
may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents and to pay any governmental taxes and fees required by
law or permitted by the Supplemental Indenture. The Registrar need not
transfer or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of
a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or
any Notes for a period of 15 days before any selection of Notes to be redeemed.



9. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS




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



10. UNCLAIMED MONEY OR PROPERTY




          The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written
request any money or property held by them for the payment of any amount with
respect to the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, provided, however,
that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
return, shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in a
newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each such
Holder notice that such money or property remains unclaimed and that, after a
date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such publication or mailing, any unclaimed money or property then remaining
shall be returned to the Company. After return to the Company, Holders entitled
to the money or property must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another
Person.



11. AMENDMENT; WAIVER



          Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the
Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders
of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding and (ii) certain defaults or noncompliance with certain provisions
may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding. Subject to
certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any
Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to make any change that does not
adversely affect the right of any Holder, to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage
or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Notes any property or assets, to
evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company (or successive
successions) and the assumption by the successor corporation of the covenants,
agreements and obligations of the Company, to add to the covenants of the
Company such further covenants, restrictions or conditions as the Board of
Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the benefit of the Holders
of Notes, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a
default in any such additional covenants, restrictions or conditions a Default
or an Event of Default



A-3









 





permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided
in the Indenture, to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes, or to modify,
eliminate or add to the provisions of the Indenture to such extent as shall be
necessary for the Indenture to comply with the TIA, or under any similar
federal statute hereafter enacted.




12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES




          Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) a default by the
Company in the payment of any interest which continues for more than 30 days
after the due date, (ii) a default by the Company in the payment of any
principal or Redemption Price due with respect to the Notes; (iii) a default by
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to its obligation to pay
Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness), which
default shall have resulted in the acceleration of, or be a failure to pay at
final maturity, Indebtedness aggregating more than $50 million; (iv) a failure
to perform any other covenant or warranty of the Company herein and in the
Indenture, which continues for 30 days after written notice; (v) final
judgments or orders are rendered against the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary which require the payment by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary of an amount (to the extent not covered by insurance) in excess of
$50 million and such judgments or orders remain unstayed or unsatisfied for
more than 60 days and are not being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings; (vi) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to any
Bankruptcy Law applicable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary: (A)
commences a voluntary case; (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 (vii) a court of
competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any applicable
Bankruptcy Law: (A) for relief in an involuntary case against the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary; (B) appointing a Custodian of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its respective property;
or (C) ordering the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Restricted
Security; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, or the Holders of
at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding, may declare the outstanding principal of the Notes and any accrued
and unpaid interest through the date of such declaration on all of the Notes to
be immediately due and payable. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are
Events of Default which shall result in the outstanding principal amount of all
Notes being declared due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such
Events of Default.



          Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in
the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture and the Notes
unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain
limitations, conditions and exceptions, Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may direct the Trustee in
its exercise of any trust or power, including the annulment of a declaration of
acceleration. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing
default (except a default in payment of amounts specified in clauses (i) and
(ii) above) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests.



13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY




A-4









 








          The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity,
may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and
collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may
otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee.



14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS




          A director, officer, or employee, as such, of the Company or any
Subsidiary, the Indenture or any stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not
have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Notes.

          This Note will be entitled to the benefits of certain Guarantees, if any,
made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture

(REVERSE OF SECURITY)




5.50% Senior Note due 2014, Series B




          Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture, dated as of August 12, 2004 (the
“Indenture”), and as amended from time to time, by and between Lennar
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Guarantors named
therein and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A. as trustee (the “Trustee”).



1. INTEREST




          The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note
at the rate per annum above. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid,
from the Issue Date. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date, commencing as of the Interest Payment Date
referred to above and upon redemption. Interest will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month,
the actual number of days elapsed.



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



2. METHOD OF PAYMENT




          Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall
(a) pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who
are the registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the Record Date
immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Notes are canceled
transferred or exchanged after such Record Date, and (b) make all other
payments in respect of the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of
Notes at the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Redemption
Date or Maturity, as the case may be. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying
Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Notes referred to in clause
(b) of the preceding sentence. The Company shall pay cash amounts in money of
the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. However, the Company may make the cash payments by
check payable in such money.



3. PAYING AGENT, AND REGISTRAR




          Initially, J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association
(the “Trustee”), shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may
appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice,
other than notice to the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.



4. INDENTURE




B-3









 





          The Company issued the Notes under the Indenture. This Note is one of a
duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its 5.50% Senior
Notes due 2014, Series B (the “Unrestricted Notes”). The Notes include the
Initial Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Unrestricted Notes, issued in
exchange for the Initial Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
The Initial Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Unrestricted Notes are
treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The terms of the
Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “TIA”), as in
effect on the date of the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are
referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The Notes
are general unsecured obligations of the Company. Each Holder, by accepting a
Note, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture,
as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms.



5. REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY




          No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Notes are redeemable as a
whole, or from time to time in part, at any time at the option of the Company
at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: (a) 100% of their principal
amount; and (b) the present value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the
Notes being redeemed on the Redemption Date, discounted to the Redemption Date,
on a semiannual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points (0.20%),
together, in either case, with accrued interest to the Redemption Date on their
principal amount.



6. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY




          Notice of redemption at the option of the Company shall be mailed at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of
Notes to be redeemed at the Holder’s registered address. If money sufficient
to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed
on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent prior to or on the
Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes or portions thereof on
and after such date. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed
in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.



7. DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE




          The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiplies of $1,000. A Holder may transfer Notes in
accordance with the Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture. The Registrar
may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents and to pay any governmental taxes and fees required by
law or permitted by the Supplemental Indenture. The Registrar need not
transfer or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of
a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or
any Notes for a period of 15 days before any selection of Notes to be redeemed.



8. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS




B-4









 





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



9. UNCLAIMED MONEY OR PROPERTY




          The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written
request any money or property held by them for the payment of any amount with
respect to the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, provided, however,
that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
return, shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in a
newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each such
Holder notice that such money or property remains unclaimed and that, after a
date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such publication or mailing, any unclaimed money or property then remaining
shall be returned to the Company. After return to the Company, Holders entitled
to the money or property must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another
Person.



10. AMENDMENT; WAIVER




          Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the
Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders
of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding and (ii) certain defaults or noncompliance with certain provisions
may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding. Subject to
certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any
Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to make any change that does not
adversely affect the right of any Holder, to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage
or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Notes any property or assets, to
evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company (or successive
successions) and the assumption by the successor corporation of the covenants,
agreements and obligations of the Company, to add to the covenants of the
Company such further covenants, restrictions or conditions as the Board of
Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the benefit of the Holders
of Notes, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a
default in any such additional covenants, restrictions or conditions a Default
or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several
remedies provided in the Indenture, to evidence and provide for the acceptance
of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes, or
to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Indenture to such extent
as shall be necessary for the Indenture to comply with the TIA, or under any
similar federal statute hereafter enacted.



11. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES




          Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) a default by the
Company in the payment of any interest which continues for more than 30 days
after the due date, (ii) a default by the Company in the payment of any
principal or Redemption Price due with respect to the Notes; (iii) a default by
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to its obligation to pay
Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness),



B-5









 




which default shall have resulted in the acceleration of, or be a failure
to pay at final maturity, Indebtedness aggregating more than $50 million; (iv)
a failure to perform any other covenant or warranty of the Company herein and
in the Indenture, which continues for 30 days after written notice; (v) final
judgments or orders are rendered against the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary which require the payment by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary of an amount (to the extent not covered by insurance) in excess of
$50 million and such judgments or orders remain unstayed or unsatisfied for
more than 60 days and are not being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings; (vi) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to any
Bankruptcy Law applicable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary: (A)
commences a voluntary case; (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 (vii) a court of
competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any applicable
Bankruptcy Law: (A) for relief in an involuntary case against the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary; (B) appointing a Custodian of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its respective property;
or (C) ordering the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Restricted
Security; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, or the Holders of
at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding, may declare the outstanding principal of the Notes and any accrued
and unpaid interest through the date of such declaration on all of the Notes to
be immediately due and payable. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are
Events of Default which shall result in the outstanding principal amount of all
Notes being declared due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such
Events of Default.




          Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in
the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture and the Notes
unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain
limitations, conditions and exceptions, Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may direct the Trustee in
its exercise of any trust or power, including the annulment of a declaration of
acceleration. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing
default (except a default in payment of amounts specified in clauses (i) and
(ii) above) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests.



12. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY




          The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity,
may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and
collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may
otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee.



13. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS




          A director, officer, or employee, as such, of the Company or any
Subsidiary, the Indenture or any stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not
have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder



B-6









 




waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part
of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.




14. GUARANTEES




          This Note will be entitled to the benefits of certain Guarantees, if any,
made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture
for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.



15. RANKING




          The Notes shall be direct, unsecured obligations of the Company and shall
rank pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness of the Company. The Guarantees shall be direct, unsecured
obligations of the Guarantors and shall rank pari passu in right of payment
with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Guarantors.

legal opinions and other information as the Trustee and the Company may
reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the
foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Notes purchased
by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.
