         specified Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is incurred in

                                    THE NOTES

Section 2.01     Form and Dating.

         (a)      General. The Notes and the Trustee's certificate of
authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes
may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule
or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes
shall be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

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

         (b)      Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global
Note Legend thereon and the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global
Note" attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially
in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend
thereon and without the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note"
attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes
as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed
thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented
thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to
reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect
the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the
Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions
given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

Section 2.02     Execution and Authentication.

         An Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile
signature.

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

                                       21

<PAGE>

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

         The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed
by an Officer (an "Authentication Order"), authenticate Notes for original
issue.

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

Section 2.03     Registrar and Paying Agent.

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

         The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to
act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

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

Section 2.04     Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

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

Section 2.05     Holder Lists.

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

Section 2.06      Transfer and Exchange.

         (a)      Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not
be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another
nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a
successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes
will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:

                  (1)      the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the
         Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as
         Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under
         the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not
         appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice
         from the Depositary; or

                  (2)      the Company in its sole discretion determines that
         the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for
         Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the
         Trustee.

         Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (1) or (2)
above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall
instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole
or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note
authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any
portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof,
shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided
in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be
transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

         (b) Legends. The following legend will appear on the face of all Global
Notes issued under this Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the
applicable provisions of this Indenture:

         (c)      Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time
as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for
Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or
canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or
retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At
any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note
is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive
Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be
reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the
Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such
reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred
to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest
in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and
an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the
Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

         (d)      General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

                  (1)      To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges,
         the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes
         and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in
         accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar's request.

                  (2)      No service charge will be made to a Holder of a
         Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of
         transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum
         sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge
         payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or
         similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant
         to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof).

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

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

                  (5)      The Company will not be required:

                           (A)      to issue, to register the transfer of or to
                  exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of
                  business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for
                  redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close
                  of business on the day of selection;

                           (B)      to register the transfer of or to exchange
                  any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
                  the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

                                       24

<PAGE>

                           (C)      to register the transfer of or to exchange a
                  Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest
                  payment date.

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

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

                  (8)      All certifications, certificates and Opinions of
         Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
         Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be
         submitted by facsimile.

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

Section 2.07      Replacement Notes.

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

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

Section 2.08      Outstanding Notes.

         The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by
the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the
Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this
Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a
Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of
the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section
3.07(a) hereof.

         If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

                                       25

<PAGE>

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

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

Section 2.09      Treasury Notes.

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

Section 2.10      Temporary Notes.

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

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

Section 2.11      Cancellation.

         The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy
canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange
Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered
to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has
paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12      Defaulted Interest.

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

                            REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01      Notices to Trustee.

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

                  (1)      the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the
         redemption shall occur;

                  (2)      the redemption date;

                  (3)      the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and

                  (4)      the redemption price.

Section 3.02      Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

         If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an
offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or
purchase as follows:

                  (1)      if the Notes are listed on any national securities
         exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national
         securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or

                  (2)      if the Notes are not listed on any national
         securities exchange, on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered),
         by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
         appropriate.

         In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular
Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided
herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or
purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called
for redemption or purchase.

         The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for
partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or
purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $1,000 or
whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be
redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such
Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except
as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply
to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes
called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03      Notice of Redemption.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but
not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause
to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose
Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption
notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice
is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 of this Indenture.

                                       27

<PAGE>

         The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:

                  (1)      the redemption date;

                  (2)      the redemption price;

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

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

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

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

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

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

         At the Company's request, the Trustee will give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; provided, however, that the
Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption
date, an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and
setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the
preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04      Effect of Notice of Redemption.

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

Section 3.05      Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

         Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the relevant redemption or
purchase price date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and
accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The
Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money
deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the
amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued
interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

         If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph,
on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on
the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note
is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to
the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be
paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of
business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is
not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the

                                       28

<PAGE>

failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be
paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such
principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such
unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section
4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06      Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

         Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the
Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee
will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal
in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered.

Section 3.07      Optional Redemption

         (a)      At any time on or prior to May 1, 2006, the Company may on any
one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of
Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 107.5% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption
date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:

                  (1)      at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of
         Notes issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after
         the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company
         and its Subsidiaries); and

                  (2)      the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of
         the closing of such Equity Offering.

         (b)      Except pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Notes are not
redeemable at the Company's option prior to May 1, 2007.

         (c)      Beginning May 1, 2007 the Company may, at its option, redeem
all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice,

forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date,

Section 3.08      Mandatory Redemption.

         The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking
fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.09      Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

         In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company is
required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an "Asset Sale
Offer"), it shall follow the procedures specified below.

                                       29

<PAGE>

         The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and, at the Company's
option, all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes
containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect
to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales and assets. The Asset
Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following
its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a
longer period is required by applicable law (the "Offer Period"). No later than
three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the "Purchase
Date"), the Company shall apply all Excess Proceeds (the "Offer Amount") to the
purchase of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis,
if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes
and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for
any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are
made.

         If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or
before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall
be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of
business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to
Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

         Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall send,
by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a
copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials
necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall
state:

                  (1)      that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to
         this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the
         Asset Sale Offer will remain open;

                  (2)      the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase
         Date;

                  (3)      that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment
         will continue to accrue interest;

                  (4)      that, unless the Company defaults in making such
         payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer
         will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

                  (5)      that Holders electing to have a Note purchased
         pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in
         integral multiples of $1,000 only;

                  (6)      that Holders electing to have a Note purchased
         pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender the
         Note, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on
         the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer,
         to the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying
         Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before
         the Purchase Date;

                  (7)      that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their
         election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the
         case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer
         Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting
         forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the
         Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is
         withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

                  (8)      that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and
         other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer
         Amount, the Company will select the Notes and other pari passu

Section 4.01      Payment of Notes.

         The Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest, if any, on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided
in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any will be
considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company

money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds in U.S. Legal
Tender and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any,

the Company shall, prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the due date,
segregate and hold in trust U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to make payments of
principal, premium and interest due on such date.

         The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to
1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the
extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest
(without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent
lawful. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture,
the Company may, to the extent it is required to do so by law, deduct or
withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America
from principal or interest payments hereunder.

Section 4.02      Maintenance of Office or Agency.

         The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New

Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company
fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

         The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or
all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided,
however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the
Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any
change in the location of any such other office or agency.

as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03
hereof.

         independent accountants; and

                  (2)      all current reports that would be required to be

         such reports.

In addition, whether or not required by the SEC, the Company will file a copy of
all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with
the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the SEC's
rules and regulations (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and make
such information available to prospective investors upon request. The Company
will at all times comply with TIA Section 314(a).

any report or information delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 4.03 for the purposes of making such reports available to it and to
the Holders of Notes who may request such information. Delivery of such reports,
information and documents to the Trustee as may be required under this Section
4.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of such shall
not constitute constructive notice of

any information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder

preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing
Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed,
performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture and further
stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to his or her
knowledge after due inquiry the Company has kept, observed, performed and
fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in
default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred,
describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have
knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto) and that to his or her knowledge after due inquiry no event has
occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the
principal of or interest on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has
occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto.

         (b)      So long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.03(a) above shall be accompanied by a
written statement of the Company's independent public accountants (who shall be
a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination
necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to
their attention that would lead them to believe that a Default or Event of
Default under this Indenture has occurred insofar as they relate to accounting
matters or the Company has violated any provisions of Article 4 or Article 5
hereof or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period
of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be
liable directly or indirectly to any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge
of any such violation.

         (c)      So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will
deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default
or Event of Default, an Officers' Certificate specifying such Default or Event
of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto.

where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect
to the Holders of the Notes.

manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension
or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and
each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it

accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the
fair market value exceeds $15.0 million. Except with respect to any Restricted
Payment permitted pursuant to clauses (1)-(13) of the immediately preceding
paragraph, not later than 10 days following the end of the fiscal quarter in
which such Restricted Payment was made, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
an Officers' Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and
setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this Section
4.07 were computed, together with a copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal
required by this Indenture.

Section 4.08      Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries

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

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

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

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

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

                  (1)      agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and Credit
         Facilities as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments,
         modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements,
         refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements, provided
         that the

                                       37

<PAGE>

         amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
         supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings are not materially
         more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and
         other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on
         the Issue Date;

                  (2)      this Indenture, the Notes, and the related Note
         Guarantees;

                  (3)      applicable law;

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

                  (5)      customary non-assignment provisions of any contract
         entered into in the ordinary course of business and customary
         provisions restricting subletting of any interest in real property
         contained in any lease or easement agreement of the Company or any
         Restricted Subsidiary, or any customary restriction on the ability of a
         Restricted Subsidiary to dividend, distribute or otherwise transfer any
         asset which secures Indebtedness secured by a Lien and which
         Indebtedness and which Lien was permitted by this Indenture;

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

                  (7)      any agreement for the sale or other disposition of
         all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of a Restricted
         Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary
         pending its sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
         the assets or capital stock of such Restricted Subsidiary;

                  (8)      Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the
         restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted
         Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to dividends and other payments
         are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those
         contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being
         refinanced;

                  (9)      Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be
         incurred under Section 4.12 hereof that limit the right of the debtor
         to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

                  (10)     provisions with respect to the disposition or
         distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset
         sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements
         entered into in the ordinary course of business;

                  (11)     restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth
         imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary
         course of business; and

                  (12)     any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to customary
         provisions restricting dispositions of real property interests set
         forth in any reciprocal easement agreements of the Company or any
         Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 4.09      Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee
or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise,
with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired
Debt), and the Company shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred
stock; provided, however, that the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries may
incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and
the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness or issue preferred stock, if the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company's most recently ended four full fiscal
quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately
preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such
Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to
1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net
proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the
preferred stock or Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at
the beginning of such four-quarter period.

         The first paragraph of this Section 4.09 shall not prohibit the
incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness or the issuance of
Disqualified Stock, as set forth below (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):

                  (1)      the incurrence by the Company and any Restricted
         Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities in an aggregate
         principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) not
         to exceed $715.0 million;

                  (2)      the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;

                  (3)      the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of
         Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Note Guarantees
         to be issued on the Issue Date;

                  (4)      the incurrence by the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease
         Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each
         case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the
         purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property,
         plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or such
         Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount, including all
         Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or
         replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to
         exceed $25.0 million at any time outstanding;

                  (5)      the incurrence by the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in
         exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund,
         refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than intercompany
         Indebtedness) or Disqualified Stock that was permitted by this
         Indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this Section 4.09
         or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), or (12) of this paragraph;

                  (6)      the incurrence by the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among
         the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the refinancing
         or replacement of existing intercompany Indebtedness between or among
         the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however,
         that: (a) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such
         Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the
         prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the
         Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee, in the case
         of a Guarantor; and (b) (i)

                                       39

<PAGE>

         any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in
         any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or
         a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other
         transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the
         Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, shall be deemed, in
         each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the
         Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not
         permitted by this clause (6);

                  (7)      the incurrence by the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for
         the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any
         floating rate Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this
         Indenture to be outstanding or for hedging foreign currency exchange
         risk, in each case to the extent the Hedging Obligations are incurred
         in the ordinary course of business and not for any speculative purpose;

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

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

                  (10)     the incurrence by the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness, including Indebtedness
         represented by letters of credit for the account of the Company or any
         Restricted Subsidiary, incurred in respect of workers' compensation
         claims, self-insurance obligations, performance, proposal, completion,
         surety and similar bonds and completion guarantees provided by the
         Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
         business; provided, that the underlying obligation to perform is that
         of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and not that of the
         Company's Unrestricted Subsidiaries; provided further, that such
         underlying obligation is not in respect of borrowed money;

                  (11)     the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock by the
         Company solely for the purpose of the payment of dividends to the
         holders of the Series B Preferred Stock made in accordance with the
         Company's Amended and Restated Charter;

                  (12)     the incurrence by the Company or any of the
         Guarantors of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount
         (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including
         all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or
         replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (12), not to
         exceed $60.0 million;

                  (13)     the incurrence by the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness, including but not limited to
         Indebtedness represented by letters of credit for the account of the
         Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, arising from agreements of the
         Company or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification,
         adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case,
         incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business,
         assets or Equity Interests of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary,
         other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring
         all or any portion of such business, assets or Equity Interests for the
         purpose of financing such acquisition;

                                       40

<PAGE>

                  (14)     the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted
         Subsidiary of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other
         financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument (except
         in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in
         the ordinary course of business, provided that such Indebtedness is
         extinguished within five business days of incurrence;

                  (15)     the incurrence by the Company or a Restricted
         Subsidiary of Qualified Trust Indebtedness the proceeds of which are
         used to finance a Restricted Payment permitted by clauses (6) or (12)
         of the second paragraph of Section 4.07 hereof; and

                  (16)     the incurrence by the Company of indebtedness
         expressly subordinated to the Notes not to exceed an aggregate
         principal amount of $2.9 million in satisfaction of the Stockholder
         Litigation.

         The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt)
that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness
of the Company unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in
right of payment to the Notes on substantially identical terms; provided,
however, that no Indebtedness of the Company shall be deemed to be contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely
by virtue of being unsecured.

         For purposes of determining compliance with the provisions in this
Indenture relating to this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed
Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted
Debt described in clauses (1) through (16) above, or is entitled to be incurred
pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.09, the Company shall be
permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence,
or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner
that complies with this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities
outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under
this Indenture shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on
the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt.

Section 4.10      Asset Sales

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

                  (1)      the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the
         case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at
         least equal to (a) the fair market value of the assets (other than
         Designated Assets) or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise
         disposed of and (b) the Designated Asset Value of the Designated Assets
         sold or otherwise disposed of;

                  (2)      the fair market value or Designated Asset Value, as
         applicable, is determined by the Company's Board of Directors and
         evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an
         Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and

                  (3)      at least 75% of the consideration received in the
         Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form
         of cash. For purposes of this clause (3) only, each of the following
         will be deemed to be cash:

                           (a)      any liabilities, as shown on the Company's
                  or such Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet, of
                  the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary

                                       41

<PAGE>

                  (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by
                  their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee)
                  that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant
                  to a customary novation agreement that releases the Company or
                  such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;

                           (b)      any securities, notes or other obligations
                  received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from
                  such transferee that are converted within 90 days of the
                  applicable Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted
                  Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the
                  cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion;

                           (c)      100% of the securities, notes or other
                  obligations or Indebtedness actually received by the Company
                  as consideration for the sale or other disposition of a
                  Designated Asset pursuant to the terms of a Designated Asset
                  Contract, but only to the extent that such securities, notes
                  or other obligations or Indebtedness were explicitly required
                  to be included, or permitted to be included solely at the
                  option of the purchaser, in such consideration pursuant to the
                  terms of the applicable Designated Asset Contract; and

                           (d)      100% of the Indebtedness actually received
                  by the Company as consideration for the sale or other
                  disposition of an Unoccupied Facility.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may engage in Asset Swaps; provided that, (1) immediately after
giving effect to such Asset Swap, the Company would be permitted to incur at
least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.09 hereof and (2) the
Board of Directors of the Company determines that the fair market value of the
assets received by the Company in the Asset Swap is not less than the fair
market value of the assets disposed of by the Company in such Asset Swap and
such determination is evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set
forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee.

         Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset
Sale, the Company may apply those Net Proceeds:

                  (1)      to repay permanently Indebtedness under a Credit
         Facility and, if the Indebtedness permanently repaid is revolving
         credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect
         thereto;

                  (2)      to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of,
         or a majority of the Voting Stock of, another Permitted Business;

                  (3)      to make a capital expenditure (provided, that the
         completion of (i) construction of new facilities, (ii) expansions to
         existing facilities, and (iii) repair or reconstruction of damaged or
         destroyed facilities which commences within 360 days after the receipt
         of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by the Company may extend for an
         additional 360 day period if the Net Proceeds to be used for such
         construction, expansion or repair are committed to and set aside
         specifically for such activity within 360 days of their receipt);

                  (4)      to acquire other long-term assets that are used or
         useful in a Permitted Business; or

                                       42

<PAGE>

                  (5)      with respect to the sale of the Northeast Ohio
         Correctional Facility in Youngstown, Ohio, the Company may use 50% of
         the Net Proceeds from such sale to repurchase, redeem or otherwise
         acquire or retire for value shares of the Company's Series B Preferred
         Stock.

         Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may
temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net
Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. For avoidance
of doubt, prior to being required to permanently reduce revolving credit
facility commitments, the Company shall have the option of making an Asset Sale
Offer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

         Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as
provided in the preceding paragraph shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." Within
five days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds
$15.0 million, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of
Notes and, at the Company's option, all holders of other Indebtedness that is
pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in
this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of
sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other
pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The
offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of principal amount
plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and shall be payable
in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale
Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and
other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the
amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other
pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of
each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

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

Section 4.11      Transactions with Affiliates

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

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

                  (2)      the Company delivers to the Trustee:

                           (a)      with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
                  series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
                  consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution of the
                  Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate
                  certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this
                  Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been
                  approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the
                  Board of Directors; and

                                       43

<PAGE>

                           (b)      with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
                  series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
                  consideration in excess of $20.0 million, an opinion as to the
                  fairness to the Company of such Affiliate Transaction from a
                  financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or
                  investment banking firm of national standing.

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

                  (1)      any employment or indemnity agreement entered into by
         the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary
         course of business and consistent with the past practice of the Company
         or such Restricted Subsidiary;

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

                  (3)      transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of
         the Company solely because the Company owns an Equity Interest in, or
         controls, such Person;

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

                  (5)      sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified
         Stock) to Affiliates of the Company;

                  (6)      Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section
         4.07 hereof; and

                  (7)      any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards
         or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding
         of employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans and
         other reasonable fees, compensation, benefits and indemnities paid or
         entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in
         the ordinary course of business to or with officers, directors or
         employees of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Section 4.12      Liens

         The Company shall not and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or
become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of
their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless all payments
due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis
with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no
longer secured by a Lien.

Section 4.13      Business Activities

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such
extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
taken as a whole.

Section 4.14      Corporate Existence.

         Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done
all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

                                       44

<PAGE>

                  (1)      its corporate existence, and the corporate,
         partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in
         accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same
         may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such
         Subsidiary; and

                  (2)      the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and
         franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that
         the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license
         or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any
         of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the
         preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the
         business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and
         that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the
         Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.15      Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control

         (a)      Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall
make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each Holder to repurchase all or
any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of each Holder's
Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased, to the date
of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 10 days following any
Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:

                  (1)      that the Change of Control Offer is being made
         pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered will be
         accepted for payment;

                  (2)      the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall
         be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 business days from the
         date such notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date");

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

                  (4)      that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of
         the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant
         to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the
         Change of Control Payment Date;

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

                  (6)      that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their
         election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of
         business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control
         Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter
         setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes
         delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing
         his election to have the Notes purchased; and

                  (7)      that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in
         part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the
         unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion
         must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple
         thereof.

                                       45

         The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the
repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in Control. To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of Sections 3.09 or 4.15 of this Indenture, the Company shall comply
with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to
have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 or this Section 4.15 by virtue
of such conflict.

         (b)      On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to
the extent lawful:

                  (1)      accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes
         properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

                  (2)      deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the
         Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes
         properly tendered; and

                  (3)      deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the
         Notes properly accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating
         the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being
         purchased by the Company.

         The paying agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall
promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to
each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of
the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note shall be in a
principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

         The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of
Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment
Date.

         The provisions described above that require the Company to make a
Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control shall be applicable
whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.

         (c)      The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control
Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control
Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the
requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer
made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn
under the Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.16      Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction; provided that
the Company or any Guarantor may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if:

                  (1)      the Company or that Guarantor, as applicable, could
         have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable
         Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction under the Fixed
         Charge Coverage Ratio test in the first paragraph of Section 4.09
         hereof and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to
         Section 4.12 hereof;

                                       46

<PAGE>

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

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

Section 4.17      Payments for Consent

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions
of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid
and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in
the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent,
waiver or agreement.

Section 4.18      Additional Note Guarantees

         If any Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor enters into a
Guarantee of a Credit Facility or any part of the Indebtedness created under
Credit Facilities permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the second
paragraph of Section 4.09 hereof, then that Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor
and shall execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee within 10 business days of the date on which it was
acquired or created. The form of such Note Guarantee is attached as Exhibit B
hereto.

Section 4.19      Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

         The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default or Event
of Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned
by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly
designated shall be deemed to be Investments made as of the time of the
designation, subject to the limitations on Restricted Payments. That designation
shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if
the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary
to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default.

transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person or sell,
assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
of its properties and assets to any Person or group of affiliated Persons, or
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into any such transaction or
transactions if such transaction or transactions, in the aggregate, would result
in an assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition of all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any other Person or group of affiliated
Persons, unless at the time and after giving effect thereto:

                                       47

<PAGE>

                  (1)      either: (a) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
         is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving
         any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company or any
         Restricted Subsidiary) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer,
         conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation
         organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of
         the United States or the District of Columbia;

                  (2)      the Person formed by or surviving any such
         consolidation or merger (if other than the Company or any Restricted
         Subsidiary) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer,
         conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the

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

         Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer,
lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the
provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor corporation formed by such
consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such
consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the
provisions of this Indenture referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to
the successor corporation and not to the Company), and may exercise every right
and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor Person had been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that
the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the
principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale of all of
the Company's assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with
the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof.

Section 6.01      Events of Default.

         Each of the following is an "Event of Default":

                  (1)      the Company defaults for 30 days in the payment when
         due of interest on the Notes;

                  (2)      the Company defaults in the payment when due (at
         maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or
         premium, if any, on the Notes;

                  (3)      the Company or any of its Subsidiaries fails to
         comply with the provisions of Section 4.10, 4.15 or 5.01 hereof;

                  (4)      the Company fails to observe or perform any other
         covenant, representation, warranty or other agreement in this Indenture
         or the Notes for 60 consecutive days after notice to the Company by the
         Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
         the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class;

                  (5)      a default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or
         instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be
         secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company
         or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is
         guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries),
         whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after
         the Issue Date, if that default:

                           (A)      is caused by a failure to pay principal of,
                  or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to
                  the expiration of the grace period provided in such
                  Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment
                  Default"); or

                           (B)      results in the acceleration of such
                  Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

         and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness,
         together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under
         which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has
         been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more, provided that
         any default described in clause (a) or (b) above on the MDP Notes shall
         not constitute an Event of Default pursuant to this clause (5) so long
         as the Company cures such default within 30 days of a final judgment by
         a court of competent jurisdiction that such default on the MDP Notes
         exists or that any alleged unpaid principal or interest on the MDP
         Notes is due and owing, which judgment is not stayed, paid or
         discharged within such 30 day period;

                  (6)      failure by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $25.0
         million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a
         period of 60 days;

                  (7)      the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
         Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a
         whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within
         the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

                           (B)      appoints a custodian of the Company or any
                  of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries
                  that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
                  Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of
                  the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any
                  group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute
                  a Significant Subsidiary; or

                           (C)      orders the liquidation of the Company or any
                  of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries
                  that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
                  Subsidiary;

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

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

Section 6.02      Acceleration.

         In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of
Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that
is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole,
would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes shall become
due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event
of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25%
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to
be due and payable immediately.

         Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable
immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in
clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, any
Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary,
all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further
action or notice. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on

                                       50

<PAGE>

behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing
Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has
become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03      Other Remedies.

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

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

Section 6.04      Waiver of Past Defaults.

         Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders
of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes
(including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related
payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such
Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

Section 6.05      Control by Majority.

         Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the
Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee shall be entitled to take any other
action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction or this Indenture.

Section 6.06      Limitation on Suits.

         A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture
or the Notes only if:

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

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

                                       51

<PAGE>

                  (3)      such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and,
         if requested, provide to the Trustee 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 and, if requested,
         the provision of indemnity; and

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

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

Section 6.07      Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

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

Section 6.08      Collection Suit by Trustee.

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

Section 6.09      Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

Section 6.10      Priorities.

         If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall
pay out the money in the following order:

                  First:   to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts
         due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation,

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

         respectively; and

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

Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11      Undertaking for Costs.

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

                                   ARTICLE 7.
                                    TRUSTEE

Section 7.01      Duties of Trustee.

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

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

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

                  (2)      in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee
         may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
         correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
         opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
         this Indenture.

                                       53

<PAGE>

         However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any
         provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the
         Trustee, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to
         determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
         Indenture.

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

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

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

                  (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 6.05 hereof.

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

         (e)      No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee will be under
no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at
the request of any Holders, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee
security and 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 in writing with the Company.

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

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

         (c)      The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and 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 that it believes to be authorized or within the
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

demand, request, direction or notice from the Company will be sufficient if
signed by an Officer of the Company.

<PAGE>

         (f)      The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of

security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a
default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes governed by this
Indenture.

         (h)      The rights, privileges, immunities and benefits given to the
Trustee hereunder, including without limitation, its right to be indemnified,
are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its
capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed by
the Trustee consistent with the terms of this Indenture to act hereunder.

         (i)      Any permissive right or authority granted to the Trustee shall
not be construed as a mandatory duty.

Section 7.03      Individual Rights of Trustee.

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

Section 7.04      Trustee's Disclaimer.

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

Section 7.05      Notice of Defaults.

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

Section 7.06      Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

         (a)      Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15
following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain
outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report
dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no
event described in

                                       55

<PAGE>

TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting
date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA
Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as
required by TIA Section 313(c).

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

Section 7.07      Compensation and Indemnity.

         (a)      The Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services
hereunder as the Company and Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing.
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 promptly
upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or
made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will
include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's
agents and counsel.

         (b)      The Company and the Guarantors shall indemnify the Trustee
against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out
of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under
this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture
against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and
defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the
Guarantors or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to
the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its
negligence or bad faith or willful misconduct. 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 or any of the
Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will
defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may
have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses
of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any
settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld.

         (c)      The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this
Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

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

         (e)      When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) hereof occurs, the expenses
and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its
agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under
any Bankruptcy Law.

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

Section 7.08      Replacement of Trustee.

         (a)      A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a

discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The

                  (2)      the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or

         (c)      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 principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company.

         (d)      If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days
after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the
Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

         (f)      A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, 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. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession
to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it
as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee
hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07
hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09      Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

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

                    LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01      Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

         The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a
resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate, at any time, elect to have
either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon
compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02      Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

         Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors shall,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof,
be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all
outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set
forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). For this purpose,
Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to
have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding
Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be
"outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other
Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have
satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and
this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder:

                  (1)      the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive
         payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if
         any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred
         to in Section 8.04 hereof;

                  (2)      the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes
         under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;

                  (3)      the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of
         the Trustee hereunder and the Company's and the Guarantors' obligations
         in connection therewith; and

                                       58

<PAGE>

                  (4)      this Article 8.

         Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its
option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option
under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03      Covenant Defeasance.

         Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be
released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in
Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 and
4.19 hereof and clause (4) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the
outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Notes shall
thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed
"outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such
Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose,
Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note
Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have
no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any
such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this
Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In
addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(6)
and Section 6.01(9) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04      Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

         In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

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

                  (2)      in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof,
         the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the
         United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

                           (A)      the Company has received from, or there has
                  been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

                           (B)      since the Issue Date, there has been a
                  change in the applicable federal income tax law,

                                       59

<PAGE>

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

                  (3)      in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof,
         the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the
         United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the
         Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or
         loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
         Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
         amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
         the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

                  (4)      no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
         and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or
         Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to
         such deposit);

                  (5)      such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not
         result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any
         material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which
         the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the
         Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

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

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

Section 8.05      Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust;
Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

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

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

         Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee
will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the
Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided
in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized

                                       60

<PAGE>

firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under
Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be
required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.

Section 8.06      Repayment to Company.

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

Section 8.07      Reinstatement.

         If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States
dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or
8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court
or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Company's and the Guarantor's obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated
as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until
such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in
accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided,
however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company will 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 9.
                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01      Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

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

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

                  (2)      to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or
         in place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2
         hereof (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not
         materially adversely affect any Holder;

                  (3)      to provide for the assumption of the Company's or a
         Guarantor's obligations to the Holders of the Notes by a successor to
         the Company pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10 hereof;

                                       61

<PAGE>

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

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

                  (6)      to conform the text of the Indenture, the Note
         Guarantees or the Notes to any provision contained in the "Description
         of Notes" in the Company's prospectus supplement dated May 2, 2003 with
         respect to the Notes to the extent that such provision in the
         "Description of Notes" was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a
         provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes;

                  (7)      to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in
         accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the
         date hereof; or

                  (8)      to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental
         indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

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

Section 9.02      With Consent of Holders of Notes.

         Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation,
Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof), the Note Guarantees and the Notes with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes
(including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding
voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the
Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or
Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment
default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance
with any provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the
Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be
"outstanding" for purposes of this Section 9.02.

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

                                       62

<PAGE>

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

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

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

                  (2)      reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity
         of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the
         redemption of the Notes except as provided above with respect to
         Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof;

                  (3)      reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of
         interest, including default interest, on any Note;

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

                  (5)      make any Note payable in currency other than that
         stated in the Notes;

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

                  (7)      waive a redemption payment with respect to any Notes
         (other than a payment required by Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof);

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

                  (9)      make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver
         provisions.

Section 9.03      Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

                                       63

<PAGE>

Section 9.04      Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Section 9.05      Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

Section 9.06      Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

         The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized
pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company
may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors
approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee
will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully
protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section
12.04 hereof, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE 10.
                                 NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01     Guarantee.

         (a)      Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby,
jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors
and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture,
the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

                  (1)      the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
         the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity,
         by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue
         principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all
         other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee
         hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all
         in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

                  (2)      in case of any extension of time of payment or
         renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will
         be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the
         terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by
         acceleration or otherwise.

                                       64

<PAGE>

         Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance
so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally
obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a
guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

         (b)      The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder
are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of
the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions
hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action
to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court
in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever
and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

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

         (d)      Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any
right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations
guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.
Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand,
and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof
for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of
such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or
not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for
the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right
does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 10.02     Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

         Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of
such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes
of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any
Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders
and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such
Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Article 10 shall be limited to the
maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such
laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive
contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result
in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03     Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

         To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each
Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in
the form attached as Exhibit B hereto will be endorsed

                                       65

<PAGE>

by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by
one of its Officers.

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

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

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

         In the event that the Company creates or acquires any Subsidiary after
the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.18 hereof, the Company will
cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.18 hereof and
this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

Section 10.04     Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

         Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05, no Guarantor may sell or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate
with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving
Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

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

                  (2)      either:

                           (a)      subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person
         acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person
         formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger unconditionally
         assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor, pursuant to a
         supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
         the Trustee, under the Notes, this Indenture and the Note Guarantee on
         the terms set forth herein or therein; and

                           (b)      the Net Proceeds of such sale or other
         disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of
         this Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof.

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

                                       66

<PAGE>

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

Section 10.05     Releases Following Sale of Assets.

         In the event of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or
otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all to the Capital Stock of any
Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving
effect to such transactions) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, then such
Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger,
consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Guarantor) or
the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be
released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided that
the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance
with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation
Section 4.10 hereof. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other
disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee will
execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of
any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

         Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note
Guarantee will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on
the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as
provided in this Article 10.

                                  ARTICLE 11.
                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01     Satisfaction and Discharge.

         This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further
effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

                  (1)      either:

                           (a)      all Notes that have been authenticated
         (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid
         and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in
         trust and thereafter repaid to the Company) have been delivered to the
         Trustee for cancellation; or

                           (b)      all Notes that have not been delivered to
         the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of
         the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due
         and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has
         irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as
         trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in
         U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination
         thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of
         any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire
         indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
         for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of
         maturity or redemption;

                                       67

<PAGE>

                  (2)      no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
         continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of
         such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation
         of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the
         Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any
         Guarantor is bound;

                  (3)      the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be
         paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

                  (4)      the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to
         the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward
         the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the
         case may be.

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

         Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if
money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause
(1) of this Section, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 will
survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge
those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 11.02     Application of Trust Money.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in
accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto,
of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has
been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

         If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company's and any Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture and the Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 11.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of 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 or Government Securities held
by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

         The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed or assessed against the Trustee with respect to the money
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE 12.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01     Trust Indenture Act Controls.

         If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with
the duties imposed by TIA Section 318(c), the imposed duties will control.

                          7 1/2% Senior Notes due 2011

[Insert the Global Note Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the
Indenture]

         Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

                  (1)      INTEREST. Corrections Corporation of America, a
Maryland corporation (the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal
amount of this Note at 7 1/2% per annum from May 7, 2003 until maturity. The
Company will pay interest, semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of
each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day (each, an "Interest Payment Date"). 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 date of issuance; provided that if there is no
existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated
between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest
Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be
November 1, 2003. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and
premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in
excess of the rate then in effect; it will pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of
interest, (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on
demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

                  (2)      METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on
the Notes (except defaulted interest), to the Persons who are registered Holders
of Notes at the close of business on the 15th of April or 15th of October next
preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such
record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in
Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will
be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and
State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest, if
any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in
the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately
available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest,
premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which
will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying
Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.

                  (3)      PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, U.S. Bank
National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent
and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such
capacity.

                  (4)      INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an
Indenture dated as of May 7, 2003, as amended and supplemented by a Supplemental
Indenture dated as of May 7, 2003 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the
Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code Sections. 77aaa-77bbbb). The
Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of

                                      A-2

<PAGE>

this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions
of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured
obligations of the Company.

                  (5)      OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

         (a)      Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 5,
the Company will not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to May 1, 2007.
Thereafter, the Company will have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in
part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption
prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date, if
redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 1 of the years
indicated below:

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

</TABLE>

         (b)      Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this
Paragraph 5, at any time on or prior to May 1, 2006, the Company may on any one
or more occasions redeem Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings at a redemption price equal to 107.5% of the aggregate principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date;
provided that at least 65% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued
under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such
redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) and that
such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity
Offering.

                  (6)      MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

         The Company will not be required to make mandatory redemption payments
with respect to the Notes.

                  (7)      REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER.

         (a)      If there is a Change of Control, the Company will be required
to make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to repurchase all or any part
(equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase (the "Change of
Control Payment"). Within 10 business days following any Change of Control, the
Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing
the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

         (b)      If the Company or a Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales,
within five days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds
exceeds $15.0 million, the Company will commence an offer to all Holders of
Notes and, at the Company's option, all holders of other Indebtedness that is
pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in
the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of
sales of assets (an "Asset Sale Offer") pursuant to Section 3.09 of the
Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (including any
Additional Notes) and other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of
the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date
fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth
in the Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (including
any Additional Notes) and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an
Asset Sale Offer is less than

                                      A-3

<PAGE>

the Excess Proceeds, the Company (or such Subsidiary) may use such deficiency
for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by
holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select
the Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis.
Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an
Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may
elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of
Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes.

                  (8)      NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be
mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to
each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in
denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole
multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be
redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption.

                  (9)      DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and
fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not
exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for
redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in
part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes
for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the
period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

                  (10)     PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a
Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

                  (11)     AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or
supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a
single class, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the
Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and
Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any
Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended
or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to
provide for the assumption of the Company's or any Guarantor's obligations to
Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change
that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes
or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any
such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to
conform the text of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any
provision contained in the "Description of Notes" in the Company's prospectus
supplement dated May 2, 2003 with respect to the Notes to the extent that such
provision in the "Description of Notes" was intended to be a verbatim recitation
of a provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes, to provide
for the Issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set
forth in the Indenture, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental
indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

                  (12)     DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i)
default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii)
default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes
when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption

                                      A-4

<PAGE>

(including in connection with an offer to purchase) or otherwise, (iii) failure
by the Company to comply with Sections 4.10, 4.15 or 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv)
failure by the Company for 60 consecutive days after notice to the Company by
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any other agreement in the
Indenture; (v) default under certain other agreements relating to Indebtedness
of the Company which default (A) is caused by a Payment Default or (B) results
in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in
each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the
principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a
Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates
$25.0 million or more, provided that any default described in clause (A) or (B)
above on the MDP Notes shall not constitute an Event of Default so long as the
Company cures such default within 30 days of a final judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction that such default on the MDP Notes exists or that any
alleged unpaid principal or interest on the MDP Notes is due and owing, which
judgment is not stayed, paid or discharged within such 30 day period; (vi)
certain final judgments for the payment of money that remain undischarged for a
period of 60 days; (vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect
to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant
Subsidiaries; and (ix) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee
shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall
cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor or any
Person acting on its behalf shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under such
Guarantor's Note Guarantee. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become
due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee
may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event
of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of
principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of
the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences
under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required
to deliver to the Trustee annually a written statement regarding compliance with
the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or
Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a written statement specifying such
Default or Event of Default.

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

                  (14)     NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer,
employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company or any of the Guarantors,
as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or such
Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim
based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

                  (15)     AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

                  (16)     ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in
the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN
ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT

                                      A-5

TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common),
CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

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

charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement.

                         FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

National Association, as trustee under the indenture referred to below (the
"Trustee").

                               W I T N E S S E T H

         WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the
Trustee an indenture dated as of May 7, 2003, as amended and supplemented by the
supplemental indenture dated as of May 7, 2003 (the "Indenture") providing for
the issuance of the Company's 7 1/2% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "Notes");

         WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally
guarantee all of the Company's Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on
the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Note Guarantee"); and

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

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

         1.       CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

         2.       AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby
agrees as follows:

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

                           (i)      the principal of, and premium, if any, and
                  interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due,
                  whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise,
                  and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the
                  Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the
                  Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder
                  will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance
                  with the terms hereof and thereof; and

                  or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that
                  same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
                  accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether
                  at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing
                  payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any
                  performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors
                  shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
                  immediately.

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

                           (c)      The following is hereby waived: diligence,
                  presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court
                  in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any
                  right to require a proceeding first against the Company,
                  protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.

                           (d)      This Note Guarantee shall not be discharged
                  except by complete performance of the obligations contained in
                  the Notes and the Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary
                  accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture.

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

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

                           (g)      As between the Guarantors, on the one hand,
                  and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the
                  maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
                  accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the
                  purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay,
                  injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration
                  in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in
                  the event of any declaration of acceleration of such
                  obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such
                  obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
                  become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of
                  this Note Guarantee.

                           (h)      The Guarantors shall have the right to seek
                  contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the
                  exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the
                  Holders under the Note Guarantee.

                           (i)      Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture,
                  after giving effect to any maximum amount and all other
                  contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any
                  applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after
                  giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive
                  contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any
                  other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
                  Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this new Note
                  Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible
                  such that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Note
                  Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
                  conveyance.

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

                           (a)      The Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not sell or
                  otherwise dispose of all substantially all of its assets to,
                  or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such
                  Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than
                  the Company or another Guarantor unless:

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

                           (ii)     either (A) subject to Sections 10.04 and
                  10.05 of the Indenture, the Person acquiring the property in
                  any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or
                  surviving any such consolidation or merger unconditionally
                  assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor, pursuant to a
                  supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably
                  satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, the Indenture
                  and the Note Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or
                  therein; or (B) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other
                  disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable
                  provisions of the Indenture, including without limitation,
                  Section 4.10 thereof.

                           (b)      In case of any such consolidation, merger,
                  sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor
                  Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to
                  the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the
                  Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and
                  punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of
                  the Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor
                  Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor
                  with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a

                  theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
                  delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued
                  shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit
                  under the Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and
                  thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the
                  Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been
                  issued at the date of the execution hereof.

                           (c)      Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 and
                  Section 10.05 of Article 10 of the Indenture, and
                  notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained
                  in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any
                  consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
                  Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or
                  conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or
                  substantially as an entirety to the Company or another
                  Guarantor.

         5.       RELEASES.

                           (a)      In the event of any sale or other
                  disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any
                  Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a
                  sale or other disposition of all of the capital stock of any
                  Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before
                  or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted
                  Subsidiary of the Company, then such Guarantor (in the event
                  of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger,
                  consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of
                  such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in
                  the event of a sale or other

                                      C-3

<PAGE>

                  disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such
                  Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations
                  under its Note Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds of
                  such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with
                  the applicable provisions of the Indenture, including without
                  limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture. Upon delivery by the
                  Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an
                  Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other
                  disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the
                  provisions of the Indenture, including without limitation
                  Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any
                  documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release
                  of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note
                  Guarantee.

                           (b)      Any Guarantor not released from its
                  obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for
                  the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and
                  for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture
                  as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture.

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

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

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

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

         10.      THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any
manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this
Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein,
all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the
Company.

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.1

                             MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT

                    dated as of March 13, 2003 ("Agreement")

     THIS AGREEMENT is between General Electric Capital Corporation with an
office at 401 Merritt 7 Suite 23, Norwalk, CT 06851-1177 (together with its
successors and assigns, if any, "Lessor") and TRIPATH IMAGING, INC. a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the state of Delaware, with
its mailing address and chief place of business at 1111 Huffman Mill Road,
BURLINGTON, NC 27215 and TRIPATH ONCOLOGY, INC. a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the state of Delaware, with its mailing address and
chief place of business at 4025 Stirrup Creek Drive, Suite 400, Durham, NC 27215
(each of the aforementioned parties shall hereinafter be collectively referred
to as "Lessee"). This Agreement contains the general terms that apply to the
leasing of Equipment from Lessor to Lessee. Additional terms that apply to the
Equipment (term, rent, options, etc.) shall be contained on a schedule
("Schedule").

1. LEASING:

     (a) Lessor agrees to lease to Lessee, and Lessee agrees to lease from
Lessor, the equipment and the property ("Equipment") described in any Schedule
signed by both parties.

     (b) Lessor shall purchase Equipment from the manufacturer or supplier
("Supplier") and lease it to Lessee if on or before the Last Delivery Date
Lessor receives (i) a Schedule for the Equipment, (ii) evidence of insurance
which complies with the requirements of Section 9, and (iii) such other
documents as Lessor may reasonably request. Each of the documents required above
must be in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor. Lessor hereby appoints
Lessee its agent for inspection and acceptance of the Equipment from the
Supplier. Once the Schedule is signed, the Lessee may not cancel the Schedule.

2. TERM, RENT AND PAYMENT:

     (a) The rent payable for the Equipment and Lessee's right to use the
Equipment shall begin on the earlier of (i) the date when the Lessee signs the
Schedule and accepts the Equipment or (ii) when Lessee has accepted the
Equipment under a Certificate of Acceptance ("Lease Commencement Date"). The
term of this Agreement shall be the period specified in the applicable Schedule.
The word "term" shall include all basic and any renewal terms.

     (b) Lessee shall pay rent to Lessor at its address stated above, except as
otherwise directed by Lessor. Rent payments shall be in the amount set forth in,
and due as stated in the applicable Schedule. If any Advance Rent (as stated in
the Schedule) is payable, it shall be due when the Lessee signs the Schedule.
Advance Rent shall be applied to the first rent payment and the balance, if any,
to the final rent payment(s) under such Schedule. In no event shall any Advance
Rent or any other rent payments be refunded to Lessee. If rent is not paid
within ten (10) days of its due date, Lessee agrees to pay a late charge of five
cents ($.05) per dollar on, and in addition to, the amount of such rent but not
exceeding the lawful maximum, if any.

3. RENT ADJUSTMENT:

     (a) If, solely as a result of Congressional enactment of any law
(including, without limitation, any modification of, or amendment or addition
to, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, ("Code")), the maximum
effective corporate income tax rate (exclusive of any minimum tax rate) for
calendar-year taxpayers ("Effective Rate") is higher than thirty-five percent
(35%) for any year during the lease term, then Lessor shall have the right to
increase such rent payments by requiring payment of a single additional sum. The
additional sum shall be equal to the product of (i) the Effective Rate
(expressed as a decimal) for such year less .35 (or, in the event that any
adjustment has been made hereunder for any previous year, the Effective Rate
(expressed as a decimal) used in calculating the next previous adjustment) times
(ii) the adjusted Termination Value (defined below), divided by (iii) the
difference between the new Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) and one (1).
The adjusted Termination Value shall be the Termination Value (calculated as of
the first rent due in the year for which the adjustment is being made) minus the
Tax Benefits that would be allowable under Section 168 of the Code (as of the
first day of the year for which such adjustment is being made and all future
years of the lease term). The Termination Values and Tax Benefits are defined on
the Schedule. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the full amount of the additional rent
payment on the later of (i) receipt of notice or (ii) the first day of the year
for which such adjustment is being

<PAGE>

made. Likewise, if the Effective Rate is less than thirty-five percent (35%) for
any year during the Lease term, then Lessor shall credit Lessee's rent payments
using the same calculation.

     (b) Lessee's obligations under this Section 3 shall survive any expiration
or termination of this Agreement.

4. TAXES:

     (a) If permitted by law, Lessee shall report and pay promptly all taxes,
fees and assessments due, imposed, assessed or levied against any Equipment (or
purchase, ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, use or operation thereof),
this Agreement (or any rents or receipts hereunder), any Schedule, Lessor or
Lessee by any governmental entity or taxing authority during or related to the
term of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all license and
registration fees, and all sales, use, personal property, excise, gross
receipts, franchise, stamp or other taxes, imposts, duties and charges, together
with any penalties, fines or interest thereon (collectively "Taxes"). Lessee
shall have no liability for Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any
state or political subdivision thereof which are on or measured by the net
income of Lessor except as provided in Sections 3 and 14(c). Lessee shall
promptly reimburse Lessor (on an after tax basis) for any Taxes charged to or
assessed against Lessor. Lessee shall show Lessor as the owner of the Equipment
on all tax reports or returns, and send Lessor a copy of each report or return
and evidence of Lessee's payment of Taxes upon request. Lessee may contest any
Taxes provided the contest is made in good faith, is diligently pursued, does
not subject the Equipment to a material risk of confiscation or seizure and so
long as Lessee is not in default.

     (b) Lessee's obligations, and Lessor's rights and privileges, contained in
this Section 4 shall survive the expiration or other termination of this
Agreement.

5. REPORTS:

     (a) If any tax or other lien shall attach to any Equipment, Lessee will
notify Lessor in writing, within ten (10) days after Lessee becomes aware of the
tax or lien. The notice shall include the full particulars of the tax or lien
and the location of such Equipment on the date of the notice.

     (b) Lessee will deliver to Lessor, Lessee's complete financial statements,
certified by a recognized firm of certified public accountants within ninety
(90) days of the close of each fiscal year of Lessee. Lessee will deliver to
Lessor copies of Lessee's quarterly financial report certified by the chief
financial officer of Lessee, within ninety (90) days of the close of each fiscal
quarter of Lessee. Lessee will deliver to Lessor all Forms 10-K and 10-Q, if
any, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within thirty (30) days
after the date on which they are filed.

     (c) Lessor may inspect any Equipment during normal business hours after
giving Lessee reasonable prior notice.

     (d) Lessee will keep the Equipment at the Equipment Location (specified in
the applicable Schedule) and will give Lessor prior written notice of any
relocation of Equipment. If Lessor asks, Lessee will promptly notify Lessor in
writing of the location of any Equipment.

     (e) If any Equipment is lost or damaged (where the estimated repair costs
would exceed the greater of ten percent (10%) of the original Equipment cost or
ten thousand and 00/100 dollars ($10,000)), or is otherwise involved in an
accident causing personal injury or property damage, Lessee will promptly and
fully report the event to Lessor in writing.

     (f) Lessee will furnish a certificate of an authorized officer of Lessee
stating that he has reviewed the activities of Lessee and that, to the best of
his knowledge, there exists no default or event which with notice or lapse of
time (or both) would become such a default within thirty (30) days after any
request by Lessor.

     (g) Lessee will promptly notify Lessor of any change in Lessee's state of
incorporation or organization.

6. DELIVERY, USE AND OPERATION:

     (a) All Equipment shall be shipped directly from the Supplier to Lessee.

     (b) Lessee agrees that the Equipment will be used by Lessee solely in the
conduct of its business and in a manner complying with all applicable laws,
regulations and insurance policies and Lessee shall not discontinue use of the
Equipment.

<PAGE>

     (c) Lessee will not move any equipment from the location specified on the
Schedule, without the prior written consent of Lessor.

     (d) Lessee will keep the Equipment free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances other than those which result from acts of Lessor.

     (e) Lessor shall not disturb Lessee's quiet enjoyment of the Equipment
during the term of the Agreement unless a default has occurred and is continuing
under this Agreement.

7. MAINTENANCE:

     (a) Lessee will, at its sole expense, maintain each unit of Equipment in
good operating order and repair, normal wear and tear excepted. The Lessee shall
also maintain the Equipment in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
Lessee shall make all alterations or modifications required to comply with any
applicable law, rule or regulation during the term of this Agreement. If Lessor
requests, Lessee shall affix plates, tags or other identifying labels showing
ownership thereof by Lessor. The tags or labels shall be placed in a prominent
position on each unit of Equipment.

     (b) Lessee will not attach or install anything on any Equipment that will
impair the originally intended function or use of such Equipment without the
prior written consent of Lessor. All additions, parts, supplies, accessories,
and equipment ("Additions") furnished or attached to any Equipment that are not
readily removable shall become the property of Lessor. All Additions shall be
made only in compliance with applicable law. Lessee will not attach or install
any Equipment to or in any other personal or real property without the prior
written consent of Lessor.

8. STIPULATED LOSS VALUE: If for any reason any unit of Equipment becomes worn
out, lost, stolen, destroyed, irreparably damaged or unusable ("Casualty
Occurrences") Lessee shall promptly and fully notify Lessor in writing. Lessee
shall pay Lessor the sum of (i) the Stipulated Loss Value (see Schedule) of the
affected unit determined as of the rent payment date prior to the Casualty
Occurrence; and (ii) all rent and other amounts which are then due under this
Agreement on the Payment Date (defined below) for the affected unit. The Payment
Date shall be the next rent payment date after the Casualty Occurrence. Upon
Payment of all sums due hereunder, the term of this lease as to such unit shall
terminate.

9. INSURANCE:

     (a) Lessee shall bear the entire risk of any loss, theft, damage to, or
destruction of, any unit of Equipment from any cause whatsoever from the time
the Equipment is shipped to Lessee.

     (b) Lessee agrees, at its own expense, to keep all Equipment insured for
such amounts and against such hazards as Lessor may reasonably require. All such
policies shall be with companies, and on terms, reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor. The insurance shall include coverage for damage to or loss of the
Equipment, liability for personal injuries, death or property damage. Lessor
shall be named as additional insured with a loss payable clause in favor of
Lessor, as its interest may appear, irrespective of any breach of warranty or
other act or omission of Lessee. The insurance shall provide for liability
coverage in an amount equal to at least ONE MILLION U.S. DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00)
total liability per occurrence, unless otherwise stated in any Schedule. The
casualty/property damage coverage shall be in an amount equal to the higher of
the Stipulated Loss Value or the full replacement cost of the Equipment. No
insurance shall be subject to any co-insurance clause. The insurance policies
shall provide that the insurance may not be altered or canceled by the insurer
until after thirty (30) days written notice to Lessor. Lessee agrees to deliver
to Lessor evidence of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

     (c) Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact to make
proof of loss and claim for insurance, and to make adjustments with insurers and
to receive payment of and execute or endorse all documents, checks or drafts in
connection with insurance payments. Lessor shall not act as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact unless Lessee is in default. Lessee shall pay any reasonable
expenses of Lessor in adjusting or collecting insurance. Lessee will not make
adjustments with insurers except with respect to claims for damage to any unit
of Equipment where the repair costs are less than the lesser of ten percent
(10%) of the original Equipment cost or ten thousand and 00/100 dollars
($10,000). Lessor may, at its option, apply proceeds of insurance, in whole or
in part, to (i) repair or replace Equipment or any portion thereof, or (ii)
satisfy any obligation of Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement.

10. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT:

     (a) At the expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Schedule,
Lessee shall perform any testing and repairs required to place the units of
Equipment in the same condition and appearance as when received by Lessee
(reasonable wear and tear excepted) and in good working order for the original

<PAGE>

intended purpose of the Equipment. If required the units of Equipment shall be
deinstalled, disassembled and crated by an authorized manufacturer's
representative or such other service person as is reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor. Lessee shall remove installed markings that are not necessary for the
operation, maintenance or repair of the Equipment. All Equipment will be
cleaned, cosmetically acceptable, and in such condition as to be immediately
installed into use in a similar environment for which the Equipment was
originally intended to be used. All waste material and fluid must be removed
from the Equipment and disposed of in accordance with then current waste
disposal laws. Lessee shall return the units of Equipment to a location within
the continental United States as Lessor shall direct. Lessee shall obtain and
pay for a policy of transit insurance for the redelivery period in an amount
equal to the replacement value of the Equipment. The transit insurance must name
Lessor as the loss payee. The Lessee shall pay for all costs to comply with this
section (a).

     (b) Until Lessee has fully complied with the requirements of Section 10(a)
above, Lessee's rent payment obligation and all other obligations under this
Agreement shall continue from month to month notwithstanding any expiration or
termination of the lease term. Lessor may terminate the Lessee's right to use
the Equipment upon ten (10) days notice to Lessee.

     (c) Lessee shall provide to Lessor a detailed inventory of all components
of the Equipment including model and serial numbers. Lessee shall also provide
an up-to-date copy of all other documentation pertaining to the Equipment. All
service manuals, blue prints, process flow diagrams, operating manuals,
inventory and maintenance records shall be given to Lessor at least ninety (90)
days and not more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to lease termination.

     (d) Lessee shall make the Equipment available for on-site operational
inspections by potential purchasers at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior
to and continuing up to lease termination. Lessor shall provide Lessee with
reasonable notice prior to any inspection. Lessee shall provide personnel, power
and other requirements necessary to demonstrate electrical, hydraulic and
mechanical systems for each item of Equipment.

 11. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES:

     (a) Lessor may in writing declare this Agreement in default if: (i) Lessee
breaches its obligation to pay rent or any other sum when due and fails to cure
the breach within ten (10) days; (ii) Lessee breaches any of its insurance
obligations under Section 9; (iii) Lessee breaches any of its other obligations
and fails to cure that breach within thirty (30) days after written notice from
Lessor; (iv) any representation or warranty made by Lessee in connection with
this Agreement shall be false or misleading in any material respect; (v) Lessee
or any guarantor or other obligor for the Lessee's obligations hereunder
("Guarantor") becomes insolvent or ceases to do business as a going concern;
(vi) any Equipment is illegally used; (vii) if Lessee or any Guarantor is a
natural person, any death or incompetency of Lessee or such Guarantor; or (viii)
a petition is filed by or against Lessee or any Guarantor under any bankruptcy
or insolvency laws and in the event of an involuntary petition, the petition is
not dismissed within forty-five (45) days of the filing date. The default
declaration shall apply to all Schedules unless specifically excepted by Lessor.

     (b) After a default, at the request of Lessor, Lessee shall comply with the
provisions of Section 10(a). Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to peacefully enter
any premises where any Equipment may be and take possession of the Equipment.
Lessee shall immediately pay to Lessor without further demand as liquidated
damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, the Stipulated Loss Value of
the Equipment (calculated as of the rent payment date prior to the declaration
of default), and all rents and other sums then due under this Agreement and all
Schedules. Lessor may terminate this Agreement as to any or all of the
Equipment. A termination shall occur only upon written notice by Lessor to
Lessee and only as to the units of Equipment specified in any such notice.
Lessor may, but shall not be required to, sell Equipment at private or public
sale, in bulk or in parcels, with or without notice, and without having the
Equipment present at the place of sale. Lessor may also, but shall not be
required to, lease, otherwise dispose of or keep idle all or part of the
Equipment. Lessor may use Lessee's premises for a reasonable period of time for
any or all of the purposes stated above without liability for rent, costs,
damages or otherwise. The proceeds of sale, lease or other disposition, if any,
shall be applied in the following order of priorities: (i) to pay all of
Lessor's costs, charges and expenses incurred in taking, removing, holding,
repairing and selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of Equipment; then, (ii)
to the extent not previously paid by Lessee, to pay Lessor all sums due from
Lessee under this Agreement; then (iii) to reimburse to Lessee any sums
previously paid by Lessee as liquidated damages; and (iv) any surplus shall be
retained by Lessor. Lessee shall immediately pay any deficiency in (i) and (ii)
above.

     (c) The foregoing remedies are cumulative, and any or all thereof may be
exercised instead of or in addition to each other or any remedies at law, in
equity, or under statute. Lessee waives notice of sale or other disposition (and
the time and place thereof), and the manner and place of any advertising. Lessee
shall pay Lessor's actual attorney's fees incurred in connection with the
enforcement, assertion, defense or preservation of Lessor's rights and remedies
under this Agreement, or if prohibited by law, such lesser sum as may be
permitted. Waiver of any default shall not be a waiver of any other or
subsequent default.

     (d) Any default under the terms of this or any other agreement between
Lessor and Lessee may be declared by Lessor a default under this and any such
other agreement.

<PAGE>

12. ASSIGNMENT: LESSEE SHALL NOT SELL, TRANSFER, ASSIGN, ENCUMBER OR SUBLET ANY
EQUIPMENT OR THE INTEREST OF LESSEE IN THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN
CONSENT OF LESSOR. Lessor may, without the consent of Lessee, assign this
Agreement, any Schedule or the right to enter into a Schedule. Lessee agrees
that if Lessee receives written notice of an assignment from Lessor, Lessee will
pay all rent and all other amounts payable under any assigned Schedule to such
assignee or as instructed by Lessor. Lessee also agrees to confirm in writing
receipt of the notice of assignment as may be reasonably requested by assignee.
Lessee hereby waives and agrees not to assert against any such assignee any
defense, set-off, recoupment claim or counterclaim which Lessee has or may at
any time have against Lessor for any reason whatsoever.

13. NET LEASE: Lessee is unconditionally obligated to pay all rent and other
amounts due for the entire lease term no matter what happens, even if the
Equipment is damaged or destroyed, if it is defective or if Lessee no longer can
use it. Lessee is not entitled to reduce or set-off against rent or other
amounts due to Lessor or to anyone to whom Lessor assigns this Agreement or any
Schedule whether Lessee's claim arises out of this Agreement, any Schedule, any
statement by Lessor, Lessor's liability or any manufacturer's liability, strict
liability, negligence or otherwise.

14. INDEMNIFICATION:

     (a) Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify Lessor, its agents, employees,
successors and assigns (on an after tax basis) from and against any and all
losses, damages, penalties, injuries, claims, actions and suits, including legal
expenses, of whatsoever kind and nature arising out of or relating to the
Equipment or this Agreement, except to the extent the losses, damages,
penalties, injuries, claims, actions, suits or expenses result from Lessor's
gross negligence or willful misconduct ("Claims"). This indemnity shall include,
but is not limited to, Lessor's strict liability in tort and Claims, arising out
of (i) the selection, manufacture, purchase, acceptance or rejection of
Equipment, the ownership of Equipment during the term of this Agreement, and the
delivery, lease, possession, maintenance, uses, condition, return or operation
of Equipment (including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether
or not discoverable by Lessor or Lessee and any claim for patent, trademark or
copyright infringement or environmental damage) or (ii) the condition of
Equipment sold or disposed of after use by Lessee, any sublessee or employees of
Lessee. Lessee shall, upon request, defend any actions based on, or arising out
of, any of the foregoing.

     (b) Lessee hereby represents, warrants and covenants that (i) on the Lease
Commencement Date for any unit of Equipment, such unit will qualify for all of
the items of deduction and credit specified in Section C of the applicable
Schedule ("Tax Benefits") in the hands of Lessor, and (ii) at no time during the
term of this Agreement will Lessee take or omit to take, nor will it permit any
sublessee or assignee to take or omit to take, any action (whether or not such
act or omission is otherwise permitted by Lessor or by this Agreement), which
will result in the disqualification of any Equipment for, or recapture of, all
or any portion of such Tax Benefits.

     (c) If as a result of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
of the Lessee contained in this Agreement or any Schedule (i) tax counsel of
Lessor shall determine that Lessor is not entitled to claim on its Federal
income tax return all or any portion of the Tax Benefits with respect to any
Equipment, or (ii) any Tax Benefit claimed on the Federal income tax return of
Lessor is disallowed or adjusted by the Internal Revenue Service, or (iii) any
Tax Benefit is recalculated or recaptured (any determination, disallowance,
adjustment, recalculation or recapture being a "Loss"), then Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, as an indemnity and as additional rent, an amount that shall, in the
reasonable opinion of Lessor, cause Lessor's after-tax economic yields and cash
flows to equal the Net Economic Return that would have been realized by Lessor
if such Loss had not occurred. Such amount shall be payable upon demand
accompanied by a statement describing in reasonable detail such Loss and the
computation of such amount. The economic yields and cash flows shall be computed
on the same assumptions, including tax rates as were used by Lessor in
originally evaluating the transaction ("Net Economic Return"). If an adjustment
has been made under Section 3 then the Effective Rate used in the next preceding
adjustment shall be substituted.

     (d) All references to Lessor in this Section 14 include Lessor and the
consolidated taxpayer group of which Lessor is a member. All of Lessor's rights,
privileges and indemnities contained in this Section 14 shall survive the
expiration or other termination of this Agreement. The rights, privileges and
indemnities contained herein are expressly made for the benefit of, and shall be
enforceable by Lessor, its successors and assigns.

15. DISCLAIMER: LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS SELECTED THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT
ANY ASSISTANCE FROM LESSOR, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES. LESSOR DOES NOT MAKE, HAS
NOT MADE, NOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO MAKE OR HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO THE
EQUIPMENT LEASED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY AS TO DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS,
QUALITY OF MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE,
USE OR OPERATION, SAFETY, PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT, OR TITLE.
All such risks, as between Lessor and Lessee, are to be borne by Lessee. Without
limiting the foregoing, Lessor shall have no responsibility or liability to
Lessee or any other person with respect to any of the following; (i) any
liability, loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused directly or indirectly
by any Equipment, any inadequacy thereof, any deficiency or

<PAGE>

defect (latent or otherwise) of the Equipment, or any other circumstance in
connection with the Equipment; (ii) the use, operation or performance of any
Equipment or any risks relating to it; (iii) any interruption of service, loss
of business or anticipated profits or consequential damages; or (iv) the
delivery, operation, servicing, maintenance, repair, improvement or replacement
of any Equipment. If, and so long as, no default exists under this Agreement,
Lessee shall be, and hereby is, authorized during the term of this Agreement to
assert and enforce whatever claims and rights Lessor may have against any
Supplier of the Equipment at Lessee's sole cost and expense, in the name of and
for the account of Lessor and/or Lessee, as their interests may appear.

ninety (90) days prior written notice of the termination.

<PAGE>

     (b) Lessee shall, and Lessor may, solicit cash bids for the Equipment on an

to Lessee up to the amount of the Termination Value. If such sale is not
consummated, no termination shall occur and Lessor shall refund the Termination
Value (less any expenses incurred by Lessor) to Lessee.

     (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may elect by written notice, at
any time prior to the Termination Date, not to sell the Equipment. In that
event, on the Termination Date Lessee shall (i) return the Equipment (in
accordance with Section 10) and (ii) pay to Lessor all amounts required under
Section 17(b) less the amount of the highest bid certified by Lessee to Lessor.

18. PURCHASE OPTION:

     (a) Lessee may at lease expiration purchase all (but not less than all) of
the Equipment in any Schedule on an AS IS BASIS for cash equal to its then Fair
Market Value (plus all applicable sales taxes). Lessee must notify Lessor of its
intent to purchase the Equipment in writing at least ninety (90) days in
advance. If Lessee is in default or if the Lease has already been terminated
Lessee may not purchase the Equipment.

     (b) "Fair Market Value" shall mean the price that a willing buyer (who is
neither a lessee in possession nor a used equipment dealer) would pay for the
Equipment in an arm's-length transaction to a willing seller under no compulsion
to sell. In determining the Fair Market Value the Equipment shall be assumed to
be in the condition in which it is required to be maintained and returned under
this Agreement. If the Equipment is installed it shall be valued on an installed
basis. The costs of removal from current location shall not be a deduction from
the value of the Equipment. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on the Fair
Market Value at least one hundred thirty-five (135) days before lease
expiration, Lessor shall appoint an independent appraiser (reasonably acceptable
to Lessee) to determine Fair Market Value. The independent appraiser's
determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Lessee and Lessor shall
each pay one half of all costs associated with any such appraisal.

     (c) Lessee shall be deemed to have waived this option unless it provides
Lessor with written notice of its irrevocable election to exercise the same
within fifteen (15) days after Fair Market Value is told to Lessee.

19. MISCELLANEOUS:

     (a) LESSEE AND LESSOR UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF
THE RELATED DOCUMENTS, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN LESSEE AND LESSOR RELATING TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE
RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN LESSEE AND LESSOR. THE SCOPE OF
THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY
BE FILED IN ANY COURT. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE. THIS WAIVER MAY NOT BE
MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING. THE WAIVER ALSO SHALL APPLY TO ANY
SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT,
ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS
TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION. THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN
CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

     (b) The Equipment shall remain Lessor's property unless Lessee purchases
the Equipment from Lessor and until such time Lessee shall only have the right
to use the Equipment as a lessee. Any cancellation or termination by Lessor of
this Agreement, any Schedule, supplement or amendment hereto, or the lease of
any Equipment hereunder shall not release Lessee from any then outstanding
obligations to Lessor hereunder. All Equipment shall at all times remain
personal property of Lessor even though it may be attached to real property. The
Equipment shall not become part of any other property by reason of any
installation in, or attachment to, other real or personal property.

     (c) Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Lessor's failure at any time
to require strict performance by Lessee of any of the provisions hereof shall
not waive or diminish Lessor's right at any other time to demand strict
compliance with this Agreement. Lessee agrees, upon Lessor's request, to
execute, or otherwise authenticate, any document, record or instrument necessary
or expedient for filing, recording or perfecting the interest of Lessor or to
carry out the intent of this Agreement. In addition, Lessee hereby authorizes
Lessor to file a financing statement and amendments thereto describing the
Equipment described

<PAGE>

in any and all Schedules now and hereafter executed pursuant hereto and adding
any other collateral described therein and containing any other information
required by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. Lessee irrevocably grants to
Lessor the power to sign Lessee's name and generally to act on behalf of Lessee
to execute and file financing statements and other documents pertaining to any
or all of the Equipment. Lessee hereby ratifies its prior authorization for
Lessor to file financing statements and amendments thereto describing the
Equipment and containing any other information required by any applicable law
(including without limitation the Uniform Commercial Code) if filed prior to the
date hereof. All notices required to be given hereunder shall be deemed
adequately given if sent by registered or certified mail to the addressee at its
address stated herein, or at such other place as such addressee may have
specified in writing. This Agreement and any Schedule and Annexes thereto
constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof. NO VARIATION OR MODIFICATION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY WAIVER OF
ANY OF ITS PROVISIONS OR CONDITIONS, SHALL BE VALID UNLESS IN WRITING AND SIGNED
BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PARTIES HERETO.

     (d) If Lessee does not comply with any provision of this Agreement, Lessor
shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to effect such compliance, in
whole or in part. All reasonable amounts spent and obligations incurred or
assumed by Lessor in effecting such compliance shall constitute additional rent
due to Lessor. Lessee shall pay the additional rent within five days after the
date Lessor sends notice to Lessee requesting payment. Lessor's effecting such
compliance shall not be a waiver of Lessee's default.

     (e) Any rent or other amount not paid to Lessor when due shall bear
interest, from the due date until paid, at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%)
per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law. Any provisions in this Agreement
and any Schedule that are in conflict with any statute, law or applicable rule
shall be deemed omitted, modified or altered to conform thereto.

     (f) Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes Lessor to adjust the Capitalized
Lessor's Cost up or down by no more than ten percent (10%) within each Schedule
to account for equipment change orders, equipment returns, invoicing errors, and
similar matters. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the rent shall be adjusted
as a result of the change in the Capitalized Lessor's Cost. Lessor shall send
Lessee a written notice stating the final Capitalized Lessor's Cost, if it has
changed.

     (g) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF
LAWS PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE), INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY
AND PERFORMANCE, REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION OF THE EQUIPMENT.

     (h) Any cancellation or termination by Lessor, pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement, any Schedule, supplement or amendment hereto, of the lease of
any Equipment hereunder, shall not release Lessee from any then outstanding
obligations to Lessor hereunder.

     (i) To the extent that any Schedule would constitute chattel paper, as such
term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction, no security interest therein may be created through the transfer
or possession of this Agreement in and of itself without the transfer or
possession of the original of a Schedule executed pursuant to this Agreement and
incorporating this Agreement by reference; and no security interest in this
Agreement and a Schedule may be created by the transfer or possession of any
counterpart of the Schedule other than the original thereof, which shall be
identified as the document marked "Original" and all other counterparts shall be
marked "Duplicate".
