                         CHOICETEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
                            1997 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE
                                       AND
                                STOCK OPTION PLAN

     SECTION 1     PURPOSE OF PLAN. This Plan shall be known as the "CHOICETEL
COMMUNICATIONS, INC. 1997 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AND STOCK OPTION PLAN" and is
hereinafter referred to as the "Plan". The purpose of the Plan is to aid in
maintaining and developing personnel capable of assuring the future success of
ChoiceTel Communications, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), to
offer such personnel additional incentives to put forth maximum efforts for the
success of the business, and to afford them an opportunity to acquire a
proprietary interest in the Company through stock options and other long-term
incentive awards as provided herein. Options granted under this Plan may be
either incentive stock options ("Incentive Stock Options") within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), or options that
do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Awards granted under this Plan shall
be SARs, restricted stock or performance awards as hereinafter described.

     SECTION 2     STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. Subject to the provisions of Section
16 hereof, the stock to be subject to options or other awards under the Plan
shall be the Company's authorized common shares, no par value(the "Common
Shares"). Such Common Shares may be either authorized but unissued shares, or
issued shares which have been reacquired by the Company. Subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 16 hereof, the maximum number of shares on which options
may be exercised or other awards issued under this Plan shall be 1,500,000
shares. If an option or award under the Plan expires, or for any reason is
terminated or unexercised with respect to any shares, such shares shall again be
available for options or awards thereafter granted during the term of the Plan.

     SECTION 3     ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN.

     a.   The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the
     Company or a committee thereof. The members of any such committee shall be
     appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. (The
     group administering the Plan shall hereinafter be referred to as the
     "Committee".)

     b.   The Committee shall have plenary authority in its discretion, but
     subject to the express provisions of the Plan: (i) to determine the
     purchase price of the Common Stock covered by each option or award, (ii) to
     determine the employees to whom and the time or times at which such options
     and awards shall be granted and the number of shares to be subject to each,
     (iii) to determine the form of payment to be made upon the exercise of an
     SAR or in connection with performance awards, either cash, Common Shares of
     the Company or a combination thereof, (iv) to determine the terms of
     exercise of each option

                                       1

<PAGE>

     and award, (v) to accelerate the time at which all or any part of an option
     or award may be exercised, (vi) to amend or modify the terms of any option
     or award with the consent of the optionee, (vii) to interpret the Plan,
     (viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to
     the Plan, (ix) to determine the terms and provisions of each option and
     award agreement under the Plan (which agreements need not be identical),
     including the designation of those options intended to be Incentive Stock
     Options, and (x) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable
     for the administration of the Plan, subject to the exclusive authority of
     the Board of Directors under Section 17 herein to amend or terminate the
     Plan. The Committee's determinations on the foregoing matters, unless
     otherwise disapproved by the Board of Directors of the Company, shall be
     final and conclusive.

     c.   The Committee shall select one of its members as its Chair and shall
     hold its meetings at such times and places as it may determine. A majority
     of its members shall constitute a quorum. All determinations of the
     Committee shall be made by not less than a majority of its members. Any
     decision or determination reduced to writing and signed by all of the
     members of the Committee shall be fully effective as if it had been made by
     a majority vote at a meeting duly called and held. The grant of an option
     or award shall be effective only if a written agreement shall have been
     duly executed and delivered by and on behalf of the Company following such
     grant. The Committee may appoint a Secretary and may make such rules and
     regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable.

     SECTION 4     ELIGIBILITY AND GRANT.

     a.   Eligibility. Incentive Stock Options may only be granted under this
     Plan to any full or part-time employee (which term as used herein includes,
     but is not limited to, officers and directors who are also employees) of
     the Company and of its present and future subsidiary corporations within
     the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code (herein called "subsidiaries").
     Full or part-time employees, directors who are not employees, consultants
     or independent contractors to the Company or one of its subsidiaries or
     affiliates shall be eligible to receive options which do not qualify as
     Incentive Stock Options and awards. In determining the persons to whom
     options and awards shall be granted and the number of shares subject to
     each, the Committee may take into account the nature of services rendered
     by the respective employees or consultants, their present and potential
     contributions to the success of the Company and such other factors as the
     Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant.

     b.   Grant of Additional Options. A person who has been granted an option
     or award under this Plan may be granted additional options or awards under
     the Plan if the Committee shall so determine; provided, however, that to
     the extent the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the
     Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Common Shares with respect to
     which all Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an
     employee during any calendar year (under all plans described in subsection
     (d) of Section 422 of the Code of his or her employer corporation and its
     parent and subsidiary corporations) exceeds $100,000, such options shall be
     treated as

                                       2

<PAGE>

     options that do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Nothing in the Plan
     or in any agreement thereunder shall confer on any employee any right to
     continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affect,
     in any way, the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to
     terminate his or her employment at any time.

     SECTION 5     PRICE. The option price for all Incentive Stock Options
granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee but shall not be
less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Shares at the date of
grant of such option. The option price for options granted under the Plan that
do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options and, if applicable, the price for all
awards shall also be determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, the option price for all options granted under the plan that do not
qualify as Incentive Stock Options shall be determined by the Committee but
shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the
Common Shares at the date of grant of such option. For purposes of the foregoing
and for all other valuation purposes under the Plan, the fair market value of
the Common Shares shall be as reasonably determined by the Committee. If on the
date of grant of any option or award hereunder the Common Shares are not traded
on an established securities market, the Committee shall make a good faith
attempt to satisfy the requirements of this Section 5 and in connection
therewith shall take such action as it deems necessary or advisable.

     SECTION 6     TERM. Each option and award and all rights and obligations
thereunder shall expire on the date determined by the Committee and specified in
the option or award agreement. The Committee shall be under no duty to provide
terms of like duration for options or awards granted under the Plan, but the
term of an Incentive Stock Option may not extend more than ten (10) years from
the date of grant of such option and the term of options granted under the Plan
which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options may not extend more than fifteen
(15) years from the date of granting of such option.

     SECTION 7     EXERCISE OF OPTION OR AWARD.

     a.   Exercisability. The Committee shall have full and complete authority
     to determine whether an option or award will be exercisable in full at any
     time or from time to time during the term thereof, or to provide for the
     exercise thereof in such installments, upon the occurrence of such events
     (such as termination of employment for any reason) and at such times during
     the term of the option as the Committee may determine and specify in the
     option or award agreement.

     b.   No Violation of State or Federal Laws. The exercise of any option or
     award granted hereunder shall only be effective at such time that the sale
     of Common Shares pursuant to such exercise will not violate any state or
     federal securities or other laws.

     c.   Method of Exercise. An optionee or grantee electing to exercise an
     option or award shall give written notice to the Company of such election
     and of the number of shares subject to such exercise. The full purchase
     price of such shares shall be tendered with such notice of exercise. The
     fair market value of such tendered shares shall

                                       3

<PAGE>

     be determined as provided in Section 5 herein. Until such person has been
     issued the shares subject to such exercise, he or she shall possess no
     rights as a shareholder with respect to such shares.

     SECTION 8     RESTORATION OPTIONS. The Committee may grant "restoration"
options, separately or together with another option, pursuant to which, subject
to the terms and conditions established by the Committee and any applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or any other applicable law, the optionee
would be granted a new option when the payment of the exercise price of the
option to which such "restoration" option relates is made by the delivery of
shares of the Company's Common Shares owned by the optionee, as described in
this Section 8, which new option would be an option to purchase the number of
shares not exceeding the sum of (a) the number of shares of the Company's Common
Shares tendered as payment upon the exercise of the option to which such
"restoration" option relates and (b) the number of shares of the Company's
Common Shares, if any, tendered as payment of the amount to be withheld under
applicable income tax laws in connection with the exercise of the option to
which such "restoration" option relates, as described in Section 12 hereof.
"Restoration" options may be granted with respect to options previously granted
under this Plan or any prior stock option plan of the Company, and may be
granted in connection with any option granted under this Plan at the time of
such grant. The purchase price of the Common Shares under each such new option,
and the other terms and conditions of such option, shall be determined by the
Committee, consistent with the provisions of the Plan.

     SECTION 9     STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

     a.   Grant. At the time of grant of an option or award under the Plan (or
     at any other time), the Committee, in its discretion, may grant a Stock
     Appreciation Right ("SAR") evidenced by an agreement in such form as the
     Committee shall from time to time approve. Any such SAR may be subject to
     restrictions on the exercise thereof as may be set forth in the agreement
     representing such SAR, which agreement shall comply with and be subject to
     the following terms and conditions and any additional terms and conditions
     established by the Committee that are consistent with the terms of the
     Plan.

     b.   Exercise. An SAR shall be exercised by the delivery to the Company of
     a written notice which shall state that the holder thereof elects to
     exercise his or her SAR as to the number of shares specified in the notice
     and which shall further state what portion, if any, of the SAR exercise
     amount (hereinafter defined) the holder thereof requests is to be paid in
     cash and what portion, if any, is to be paid in Common Shares of the
     Company. The Committee promptly shall cause to be paid to such holder the
     SAR exercise amount either in cash, in Common Shares of the Company, or any
     combination of cash and shares as the Committee may determine. Such
     determination may be either in accordance with the request made by the
     holder of the SAR or in the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee.
     The SAR exercise amount is the excess of the fair market value of one share
     of the Company's Common Shares on the date of exercise over the per share
     exercise price in respect of which the SAR was granted, multiplied by the
     number

                                       4

<PAGE>

     of shares as to which the SAR is exercised. For the purposes hereof, the
     fair market value of the Company's shares shall be determined as provided
     in Section 5 herein.

     SECTION 10    RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS. Awards of Common Shares subject to
forfeiture and transfer restrictions may be granted by the Committee. Any
restricted stock award shall be evidenced by an agreement in such form as the
Committee shall from time to time approve, which agreement shall comply with and
be subject to the following terms and conditions and any additional terms and
conditions established by the Committee that are consistent with the terms of
the Plan:

     a.   Grant of Restricted Stock Awards. Each restricted stock award made
     under the Plan shall be for such number of Common Shares as shall be
     determined by the Committee and set forth in the agreement containing the
     terms of such restricted stock award. Such agreement shall set forth a
     period of time during which the grantee must remain in the continuous
     employment of the Company in order for the forfeiture and transfer
     restrictions to lapse. If the Committee so determines, the restrictions may
     lapse during such restricted period in installments with respect to
     specified portions of the shares covered by the restricted stock award. The
     agreement may also, in the discretion of the Committee, set forth
     performance or other conditions that will subject the Common Shares to
     forfeiture and transfer restrictions. The Committee may, at its discretion,
     waive all or any part of the restrictions applicable to any or all
     outstanding restricted stock awards.

     b.   Delivery of Common Shares and Restrictions. At the time of a
     restricted stock award, a certificate representing the number of Common
     shares awarded thereunder shall be registered in the name of the grantee.
     Such certificate shall be held by the Company or any custodian appointed by
     the Company for the account of the grantee subject to the terms and
     conditions of the Plan, and shall bear such a legend setting forth the
     restrictions imposed thereon as the Committee, in its discretion, may
     determine. The grantee shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect
     to the Common Shares, including the right to receive dividends and the
     right to vote such shares, subject to the following restrictions: (i) the
     grantee shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate until
     the expiration of the restricted period and the fulfillment of any other
     restrictive conditions set forth in the restricted stock agreement with
     respect to such Common Shares; (ii) none of the Common Shares may be sold,
     assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or
     disposed of during such restricted period or until after the fulfillment of
     any such other restrictive conditions; and (iii) except as otherwise
     determined by the Committee, all of the Common Shares shall be forfeited
     and all rights of the grantee to such Common Shares shall terminate,
     without further obligation on the part of the Company, unless the grantee
     remains in the continuous employment of the Company for the entire
     restricted period in relation to which such Common Shares were granted and
     unless any other restrictive conditions relating to the restricted stock
     award are met. Any Common Shares, any other securities of the Company and
     any other property (except for cash dividends) distributed with respect to
     the Common Shares subject to restricted stock awards shall be subject to
     the same restrictions, terms and conditions as such restricted Common
     Shares.

                                       5

<PAGE>

     c.   Termination of Restrictions. At the end of the restricted period and
     provided that any other restrictive conditions of the restricted stock
     award are met, or at such earlier time as otherwise determined by the
     Committee, all restrictions set forth in the agreement relating to the
     restricted stock award or in the Plan shall lapse as to the restricted
     Common Shares subject thereto, and a stock certificate for the appropriate
     number of Common Shares, free of the restrictions and the restricted stock
     legend, shall be delivered to the grantee or his or her beneficiary or
     estate, as the case may be.

     SECTION 11    PERFORMANCE AWARDS. The Committee is further authorized to
     grant performance awards. Subject to the terms of this Plan and any
     applicable award agreement, a performance award granted under the Plan (i)
     may be denominated or payable in cash, Common Shares (including, without
     limitation, restricted stock), other securities, other awards, or other
     property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof rights valued as
     determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and payable to, or
     exercisable by, the holder of the Performance awards, in whole or in part,
     upon the achievement of such performance goals during such performance
     periods as the Committee, in its discretion, shall establish. Subject to
     the terms of this Plan and any applicable award agreement, the performance
     goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any
     performance period, the amount of any Performance award granted, and the
     amount of any payment or transfer to be made by the grantee and by the
     Company under any Performance award shall be determined by the Committee.

     SECTION 12    INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING AND TAX BONUSES.

     a.   Withholding of Taxes. In order to comply with all applicable federal
     or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action
     as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state
     payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and
     absolute responsibility of an optionee or grantee under the Plan, are
     withheld or collected from such optionee or grantee. In order to assist an
     optionee or grantee in paying all federal and state taxes to be withheld or
     collected upon exercise of an option or award which does not qualify as an
     Incentive Stock Option hereunder, the Committee, in its absolute discretion
     and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it may adopt, shall
     permit the optionee or grantee to satisfy such tax obligation by (i)
     electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the shares otherwise to
     be delivered upon exercise of such option or award with a fair market
     value, determined in accordance with Section 5 herein, equal to such taxes
     or (ii) delivering to the Company

          Common Shares other than the shares issuable upon exercise of such
     option or award with a fair market value, determined in accordance with
     Section 5, equal to such taxes.

     b.   Tax Bonus. The Committee shall have the authority, at the time of
     grant of an option under the Plan or at any time thereafter, to approve tax
     bonuses to designated

                                       6

<PAGE>

     optionees or grantees to be paid upon their exercise of options or awards
     granted hereunder. The amount of any such payments shall be determined by
     the Committee. The Committee shall have full authority in its absolute
     discretion to determine the amount of any such tax bonus and the terms and
     conditions affecting the vesting and payment thereafter.

     SECTION 13    ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS. The Committee shall have full and
complete authority to determine whether all or any part of the Common Shares of
the Company acquired upon exercise of any of the options or awards granted under
the Plan shall be subject to restrictions on the transferability thereof or any
other restrictions affecting in any manner the optionee's or grantee's rights
with respect thereto, but any such restriction shall be contained in the
agreement relating to such options or awards.

     SECTION 14    TEN PERCENT SHAREHOLDER RULE. Notwithstanding any other
provision in the Plan, if at the time an option is otherwise to be granted
pursuant to the Plan the optionee owns directly or indirectly (within the
meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) Common Shares of the Company possessing
more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or its parent or subsidiary corporations, if any (within
the meaning of Section 422(b) (6) of the Code), then any Incentive Stock Option
to be granted to such optionee pursuant to the Plan shall satisfy the
requirements of Section 422(c)(5) of the Code, and the option price shall be not
less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Shares of the Company
determined as described herein, and such option by its terms shall not be
exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date such option is
granted.

     SECTION 15    NON-TRANSFERABILITY. No option or award granted under the
Plan shall be transferable by an optionee or grantee, otherwise than by will or
the laws of descent or distribution. Except as otherwise provided in an option
or award agreement, during the lifetime of an optionee or grantee, the option
shall be exercisable only by such optionee or grantee.

     SECTION 16    DILUTION OR OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. If there shall be any change
in the Common Shares through merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, dividend in the form of stock (of whatever amount), stock
split or other change in the corporate structure, appropriate adjustments in the
Plan and outstanding options and awards shall be made by the Committee. In the
event of any such changes, adjustments shall include, where appropriate, changes
in the aggregate number of shares subject to the Plan, the number of shares and
the price per share subject to outstanding options and awards and the amount
payable upon exercise of outstanding awards, in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of option or award rights.

     SECTION 17    AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE OF PLAN. The Board of Directors
may amend or discontinue the Plan at any time. Subject to the provisions of
Section 16 no amendment of the Plan, however, shall without shareholder
approval: (i) increase the maximum number of shares under the Plan as provided
in Section 2 herein, (ii) decrease the minimum price provided in Section 5
herein, (iii) extend the maximum term under

                                       7

<PAGE>

Section 6, or (iv) modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the
Plan. The Board of Directors shall not alter or impair any option or award
theretofore granted under the Plan without the consent of the holder of the
option.

     SECTION 18    TIME OF GRANTING. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any
resolution adopted or to be adopted by the Board of Directors or by the
shareholders of the Company, and no action taken by the Committee or the Board
of Directors (other than the execution and delivery of an option or award
agreement), shall constitute the granting of an option or award hereunder.

     SECTION 19 EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION OF PLAN.

     a.   The Plan was initially approved by the Board of Directors on April 17,
     1997 and approved by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12)
     months thereof.

     b.   Unless the Plan shall have been discontinued as provided in Section 16
     hereof, the Plan shall terminate April 15, 2007. No option or award may be
     granted after such termination, but termination of the Plan shall not,
     without the consent of the optionee or grantee, alter or impair any rights
     or obligations under any option or award theretofore granted.

and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate or Certificates of the same tenor, aggregate initial principal
amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If, after the
delivery of such new Certificate, a bona fide purchaser of the original
Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued presents for
payment such original Certificate, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled
to recover such new Certificate from the person to whom it was delivered or any
person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to

stolen Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Certificates duly issued hereunder.

Date is less than the Basic Maintenance Amount not later than the month-end
following such Valuation Date, Issuer shall (1) Deliver to the Trustee
sufficient Eligible Collateral or (2) at the Issuer's election, deliver to the
Trustee Certificates registered in the name of the Issuer or any Affiliate
thereof or cancelled Certificates, a principal amount of Certificates
theretofore issued and outstanding and subsequently acquired by the Issuer or
such Affiliate such that (x) the aggregate Market Value of the Pledged Assets
(determined as of such Valuation Date but modified to give effect, as of such
Valuation Date, to the Delivery of any such additional Eligible Collateral)
shall be at least equal to the Basic Maintenance Amount (determined as of such
Valuation Date but modified to give effect, as of such Valuation Date, to any
Certificates so registered or cancelled).

     (b)  Upon delivery of any such additional Eligible Collateral or upon any
such registration or cancellation or other action pursuant to Section 4.08(a),
the Issuer shall concurrently deliver to the Trustee a new Certificate of
Available Eligible Collateral conforming to Section 4.07(a) reflecting the
action taken by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.08(a). The Trustee shall
deliver to the Issuer a certificate of a Responsible Officer relating to any
such additional Eligible Collateral in the form of Exhibit C hereto.
                                                   ---------

     (c)  In addition to deliveries of additional Eligible Collateral required
pursuant to this Section, the Issuer, at any time and from time to time, may
Deliver to the Trustee additional Eligible Collateral for inclusion in the
Pledged Assets; provided, however, the Delivery of any such additional Eligible
Collateral shall be accompanied by a Certificate of Available Eligible
Collateral. The Trustee shall, promptly after receipt of any such Eligible
Collateral, prepare and send to the Issuer a certificate executed by a
Responsible Officer relating thereto, in the form of Exhibit C hereto.

     Section 4.09  Withdrawal or Substitution of Pledged Assets.
                   --------------------------------------------

     (a)  The Issuer may withdraw Pledged Assets or substitute other Eligible
Collateral for Pledged Assets if, on any Valuation Date the Trustee:

           (i)   receives an Issuer Request requesting that the Pledged Assets
     listed therein be withdrawn in accordance with this Section and listing any
     Eligible Collateral requested to be substituted for such Pledged Assets;
     and

           (ii)  based upon the Certificate of Available Eligible Collateral for
     such Valuation Date, determines that the aggregate Market Value of the
     Pledged Assets that would be held by it after giving effect to the
     withdrawal of the Pledged Assets listed in

                                       -21-

<PAGE>

     the Issuer Request referred to in Clause (i) above, and inclusion of any
     substitute Eligible Collateral listed in such Issuer Request, determined as
     of such Valuation Date, would not be less than the Basic Maintenance Amount
     determined as of such Valuation Date.

           (iii) The Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate of fair value
     if required by Section 314(d)(1) or Section 314(d)(3) of the TIA.

Upon receiving such Issuer Request, making such determination, obtaining receipt
of the items required by subsection (c) hereof, and taking Delivery of any
substitute Eligible Collateral, the Trustee shall promptly release, reassign and
deliver to the Issuer the Pledged Assets referred to in clause (i) above.

     (b)  The Issuer may, at its option, withdraw or substitute other Eligible
Collateral for Pledged Assets at any time pursuant to this Section 4.09(b),
rather than pursuant to Section 4.09(a), by delivery to the Trustee of an Issuer
Request requesting that Pledged Assets listed therein be withdrawn, and listing
any Eligible Collateral requested to be substituted therefor, if any, whereupon
the Trustee shall promptly (upon taking Delivery of any Eligible Collateral to
be substituted, if any) release, reassign and deliver to the Issuer the Pledged
Assets to be withdrawn. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may not
withdraw Eligible Collateral from the Pledged Assets or substitute other
Eligible Collateral therefor, unless the Trustee determines, based upon the
Officers' Certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.09(c)and the
Certificate of Available Eligible Collateral dated as of the most recent
Valuation Date, that as of such date of withdrawal or substitution, the
aggregate Value of the Pledged Assets that would be held by the Trustee after
giving effect to such Issuer Request and to any other additions to or
withdrawals from the Pledged Assets would be at least equal to the Basic
Maintenance Amount determined as of such Valuation Date.

     (c)  Delivery to the Trustee of any Eligible Collateral to be substituted
for other Eligible Collateral being withdrawn from Pledged Assets pursuant to
this Section shall be accompanied by a Certificate of Available Eligible
Collateral.

     (d)  Upon such withdrawal or substitution, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment substantially in the form of
Exhibit D hereto, or take such other action, as the Issuer shall reasonably
---------
request to vest in it full legal title and beneficial ownership of any Pledged
Assets withdrawn pursuant hereto.

     (e)  Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, while an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Issuer may not make
any withdrawal or substitution provided for in this Section without the consent
of the Trustee.

     Section 4.10  Protection of Pledged Assets.
                   ----------------------------

     (a)  The Issuer will from time to time execute and deliver all such
supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments,

           (i)   Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Pledged
     Assets;

                                       -22-

     claims of all Persons and parties.

     The Issuer hereby designates the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to
execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument
required pursuant to this Section 4.10 upon Issuer's preparation of same and
presentation to Trustee for execution; provided, however, that such designation
shall not be deemed to create a duty in the Trustee to monitor the compliance of
the Issuer with the foregoing covenants.

     Section 5.02  Acceleration Of Maturity; Rescission And Annulment. If an
                   --------------------------------------------------
Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Certificates, then
and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates representing
more than two-thirds of the aggregate Principal Amount may declare all the
Certificates to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the

money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article
provided, the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates representing more than a
majority of the aggregate Principal Amount, by written notice to the Issuer and
the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

           Certificate Payment Account for the benefit of the Persons entitled
           to such payments a sum sufficient to pay:

                      (A) all payments of principal of, and interest on, all
                          Certificates and all other amounts which would then be
                          due hereunder or upon such Certificates if the Event

                      (B) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and
                          the reasonable compensation, expenses and

                 (2)  all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
           principal of Certificates which have become due solely by such
           acceleration, have been cured or waived.

Certificate shall be increased by 0.50% per annum, effective on the date of the
Event of Default.

     Section 5.03  Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
                   -------------------------------------------------------
Trustee. The Issuer covenants that if an Event of Default shall occur and be
-------
continuing in respect to the Certificates and the Certificates have been
declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been
rescinded and annulled, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the
Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates:

          (i)  the amounts specified in the first paragraph of Section 5.02, and

          (ii) in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient
     to over the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
     compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
     agents and counsel.

     If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the
Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute
such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against
the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Certificates and collect, out of the
Pledged Assets, wherever situated, of the Issuer, the moneys adjudged or decreed
to be payable in the manner provided by law; provided, however, that neither the
Trustee nor any of its agents, officers, directors, employees, successors or
assigns shall be personally liable for any amounts due under the Certificates or
this Indenture.

     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders by any Proceedings the Trustee deems appropriate to protect and enforce
any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein, or enforce any other proper remedy, including, without limitation,
instituting a Proceeding prior to any declaration of acceleration of the
Maturity of the Certificates for the collection of all amounts then due and
unpaid on such Certificates, prosecuting such Proceeding to final judgment or
decree, enforcing the same against the Issuer and collecting out of the
property, wherever situated, of the Issuer the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable in the manner provided by law.

     Section 5.04  REMEDIES. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
                   --------
continuing and the Certificates have been declared due and payable and such
declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the
Trustee (subject to Section 5.18, to the extent applicable) may do one or more
of the following:

on the Certificates, or under this Indenture, whether by declaration or
otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer moneys

pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, composition or other judicial Proceeding relative
to the Issuer or any other obligor upon any of the Certificates or the property
of the Issuer or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee
(irrespective of whether the Certificates shall then be due and payable as
therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of any overdue
principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
Proceeding or otherwise to:

                (i)     file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal
        and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Certificates and file
        such other papers or documents and take such other actions as it deems
        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
        of the Holders allowed in such Proceeding; and

                (ii)    collect and receive any moneys or other property payable
        or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any
        receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or sequestrator (or other
        similar official) in any such 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 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
        6.07.

        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 any of the
Certificates or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such Proceeding.

        Section 5.07    Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of

Certificates. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the
------------
Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any
Proceeding relating thereto, and any such Proceeding instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Certificates in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. Any surplus
shall be available, in accordance with Section 5.08,

otherwise and any monies that may then be held or thereafter received by the
Trustee with respect to the Certificates shall be applied from the Certificate

        ------
and unpaid upon the Outstanding Certificates; and

        Third:  To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any

on such Certificate on the respective Payment Dates of such installments of
interest, to receive payment of each installment of principal of such
Certificate on the respective Stated Maturities of such installments (or, in the
case of any Certificate called for redemption, on the date fixed for such
redemption) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and
such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

        Section 5.11    Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or

to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other
right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or

the Trustee; provided, however, that:

                                (1)     such direction shall not be in conflict
                        with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

                                (3)     the Trustee may take any other action
                        deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent
                        with such direction; provided, however, that, subject to
                        Section 6.01, the Trustee need not take any action which
                        it determines in good faith might involve it in personal
                        liability or expenses or would not be in the best
                        interests of the Holders.

        Section 5.15    Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Certificates
                        -----------------------

Certificates may on behalf of the Holders of all the Certificates waive any past
Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default:

        (a)     in the payment of any installment of principal of, or interest
on, any Certificate; or

        (b)     in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section
9.02 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Certificate affected.

        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 5.16    Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
                        ---------------------
agree, and each Holder of any Certificate by his or her acceptance thereof shall
be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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, suffered or omitted by it as
Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this
Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate
Certificates representing more than 10% of the aggregate Principal Amount of the
Certificates, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the
payment of any installment of interest on any Certificate or for the enforcement
of the payment of any installment of principal of any Certificate when due (or,
in the case of any Certificate called for redemption, on or after the applicable
redemption date).

        Section 5.17    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants
                        --------------------------------
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension of law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants in, or the performance of,
this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law had been enacted.

more Sales as to any portion of the

                                      -29-

Pledged Assets shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Certificates
and under this Indenture with respect thereto shall have been paid. The Trustee
may from time to time postpone any public Sale by public announcement made at
the time and place of such Sale. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its right
to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale.

        (b)     To the extent permitted by law, the Trustee shall not in any
private or public Sale sell or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Assets, or any
portion thereof in any manner which conflicts with any direction relating to the
time, method and place of conducting a sale given in writing to the Trustee by
the Holders of the Certificates representing two-thirds of the aggregate
Principal Amount; or

        (c)     In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Pledged
Assets:

                (i)     Trustee may bid for and purchase the property offered
        for Sale as Trustee on behalf of the Holders, and upon compliance with
        the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such
        property for the benefit of the Holders, and may, in paying the purchase
        money therefor receive a credit up to the Outstanding Amount of the
        Certificates and accrued interest owed thereon;

                (ii)    the Trustee may bid for and acquire the property offered
        for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, in lieu of paying
        cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting
        against the gross Sale price the expenses of the Sale and of any
        Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it;

                (iii)   the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate
        instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the
        Pledged Assets in connection with a Sale thereof;

                (iv)    the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent
        and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest
        in any portion of the Pledged Assets in connection with a Sale thereof,
        and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale; and

                (v)     no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound
        to ascertain the Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of
        any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.

        Section 5.19    Action on Certificates. The Trustee's right to seek and

                                   THE TRUSTEE

        Section 6.01    Duties of Trustee.
                        -----------------

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

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

                (i)     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; and

                (ii)    In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
        conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
        of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions
        furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
        Indenture. The Trustee shall, however, examine such certificates and
        opinions to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this
        Indenture.

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

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

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

                (iii)   The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
        action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
        direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.14 or Section 5.18.

        (d)     For all purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default described in Section
5.01(c), 5.01(d) or 5.01(e) or any Default described in) or 5.01(b) unless a
Responsible Officer assigned to and working in the Trustee's corporate trust
department has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event

at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Certificates
generally, the Issuer, the Pledged Assets or this Indenture.

        (e)     No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it. In determining that such repayment or indemnity is
not reasonably assured to it, the Trustee must consider not only the likelihood
of repayment or indemnity by or

                                      -31-

<PAGE>

on behalf of the Issuer but also the likelihood of repayment or indemnity from
amounts payable to it from the Pledged Assets; provided, however, that, except
as provided in the first sentence of this Section 6.01(e), the Trustee shall not
refuse or fail to perform any of its duties hereunder solely as a result of
nonpayment of its reasonable fees and expenses; and provided further, however,
that nothing in this Section 6.01(e)shall be construed to limit the exercise by
the Trustee of any right or remedy permitted under this Indenture or otherwise
in the event of the Issuer's failure to pay the amounts due the Trustee pursuant
to Section 6.07.

        (f)     Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the
Trustee is subject to the provisions of this Section.

        (g)     Notwithstanding any extinguishment of all right, title and
interest of the Issuer in and to the Pledged Assets following an Event of
Default and a consequent declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the
Certificates, whether such extinguishment occurs through a Sale of the Pledged
Assets to another Person, the acquisition of the Pledged Assets by the Trustee
or otherwise, the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to the
Pledged Assets (or the proceeds thereof) and the Holders and the rights of

Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that except in the
case of a Default of the type described in Section 5.01(a), the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors,
the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such
notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Certificates; and provided,
further, that in the case of any other Event of Default no such notice to
Holders of the Certificates shall be given until at least 30 days after the
occurrence thereof.

        Section 6.03    Rights of Trustee.  Except as otherwise provided in

perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed and supervised with
due care by it hereunder; and

        (h)     the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or
powers.

        Section 6.06    Money Held In Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust
                        -------------------

interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with
the Issuer and except to the extent of income or other gain on investments which
are obligations of the Trustee, in its commercial capacity, and income or other
gain actually received by the Trustee on investments, which are obligations of
others.

        Section 6.07    Compensation and Reimbursement.  The Issuer agrees:

supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be

otherwise except to the extent required by law.

        The Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not the rights of
the Holder of Certificates would be adversely affected by any supplemental
indenture, and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of
all Certificates, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered
hereunder. In making such determination, a supplemental indenture shall be
conclusively deemed by the Trustee not to adversely affect the Certificates if
the supplemental indenture effects no change in principal payment, interest
rates, substitution of Pledged Assets, Payment Dates, Record Dates, or other

in good faith.

        Section 9.02    Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. With

Outstanding Certificate affected thereby:

principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Certificate or reduce the
principal amount thereof or the Certificate Interest Rate thereon, change any
place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Certificate or any
interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of the payment of any installment of interest due on any Certificate
on or after the Stated Maturity thereof or for the enforcement of the payment of
the entire remaining unpaid principal amount of any Certificate on or after the
Stated Maturity of the final installment of the principal thereof;

affected thereby;

        (d)     modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition
of the term "Outstanding";

such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this Indenture
under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted, and to add
to this Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA.

         The Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not the rights
of the Holders of Certificates would be materially and adversely affected by any
supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the
Holders of all Certificates authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Trustee
shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

         It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders of the Certificates
under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance
thereof. Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall mail to the
Holders of the Certificates to which such supplemental indenture relates a
notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental
indenture. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any
such supplemental indenture.

Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section

that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by
this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any
such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

                      ---------------------------------

this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Certificates to which such
supplemental indenture relates which have theretofore been or thereafter are
authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Certificates authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Article may, and if required by the Trustee shall,
bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in

         Section 10.01 Applicability of Article.
                       ------------------------

         Certificates of any series are redeemable before their Stated Maturity
         in accordance with this Article.

         (1) The election of the Issuer to redeem any Certificates shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution or an Officers' Certificate. The Issuer shall,
at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Issuer (unless a
shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in
writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of such Certificates
to be redeemed.

         (2) If less than all the Certificates of any series are to be redeemed,
the particular Certificates to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trust from
the Outstanding Certificates of such series not previously called for
redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and
which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the
minimum authorized denomination for Certificates of such series or any integral
multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Certificates of such series of a
denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Certificates of
such series; provided, however, that if, as indicated in an Officers'
Certificate, the Issuer shall have offered to purchase all Certificates then
Outstanding of any series, and less than all of such Certificates shall have
been tendered to the Issuer for such purchase, the Trustee, if so directed by
Issuer Order, shall select for redemption all such Certificates which have not
been so tendered.

         The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the
Certificates selected for redemption and, in the case of any Certificates
selected to be redeemed in part, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

         For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
         requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Certificates
         shall relate, in the case of any Certificates redeemed or to be
         redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such
         Certificates which has been or is to be redeemed.

         (3) Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in
Section 11.05 to the Holders to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date.

                                      -42-

<PAGE>

      All notices of redemption shall state:

             (a) the Redemption Date,

             (b) the Redemption Price,

             (c) if less than all the Certificates of any series are to be
redeemed, the identification of the particular Certificates to be redeemed and
the portion of the principal amount of any Certificate to be redeemed in part,

             (d) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will
become due and payable upon each such Certificate to be redeemed and, if
applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,

             (e) the place or places where such Certificates are to be
surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and

         (4) With respect to any notice of redemption of Certificates at the
election of the Issuer, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such
Certificates shall be deemed to have been paid in accordance with Section 8.01,
such notice may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt
by the Trustee, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money
sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on
such Certificates and that if such money shall not have been so received such
notice shall be of no force or effect and the Issuer shall not be required to
redeem such Certificates. In the event that such notice of redemption contains
such a condition and such money is not so received, the redemption shall not be
made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the
manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so
received and such redemption was not required to be made.

         Notice of redemption of Certificates to be redeemed at the election of
the Issuer, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for redemption as
aforesaid, shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer's request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

         (5) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the
conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the
Certificates or portions thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption
Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from
and after such date (unless, in the case of an unconditional notice of
redemption, the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest, if any) such Certificates or portions thereof, if
interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such
Certificate for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Certificate or
portion thereof shall be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together
with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that
any installment of interest on any Certificate the Stated Maturity of which
installment is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder
of such Certificate, registered as such at the close of business on the related
Record Date according to the terms of such Certificate.

         (6) Any Certificates which is to be redeemed only in part shall be
surrendered (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by,
or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his

                                      -43-

         attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security,
without service charge, a new Certificate of the same series, of any authorized
denomination requested by such Holder and of like tenor and in aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the
principal of the Certificate so surrendered.

                   ------------------------------------
request by the Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of
this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture
relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions
precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such
application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is
specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such
particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.

     Every certificate, opinion or letter with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (including one furnished
pursuant to specific requirements of this Indenture relating to a particular
application or request) shall include:

     (a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate, opinion or
letter has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating
thereto;

     (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such
certificate, opinion or letter are based;

     (c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he or she has
made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such individual
to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition
has been complied with; and

     (d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such
condition or covenant has been complied with.

     Section 11.02 Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where
                   --------------------------------------
several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of,
any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by,
or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified
or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an
opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to
other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such
matters in one or several documents.

     Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which this other certificate or opinion is
based

                                      -44-

<PAGE>

are erroneous. Any such Issuer certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based,
insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, the officers of the Issuer, stating that the information
with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless
such officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based on the written
opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel shall be
accompanied by a copy of such other counsel's opinion and shall include a
statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel and the
Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel.

         Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

         Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall
deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as
evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that
the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at
the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions
precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be
construed to affect the Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of
any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Section
6.01(b)(ii).

         Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the
occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition
precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee at the request or direction
of the Issuer, then, notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is
a condition precedent to the Issuer's right to make such request or direction,
the Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or
direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of
such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.01(d).

         Section 11.03  Acts of Holders.
                        ---------------

         (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders of Certificates may be embodied in any evidence by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or
by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of
the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

         (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized
by law to take acknowledgements of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution

                                      -45-

<PAGE>

thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member
of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate
or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority.

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

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

         Section 11.04 Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Issuer. Any request, demand,
                       -----------------------------------
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other
documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or
furnished to, or filed with:

         (a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with
and received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office;

         (b) the Issuer by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder (except as provided in Sections 5.01(b) and (c)) if in
writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to it
at Foundation Capital Resources, Inc., 733 North State Street, Jackson,
Mississippi 39202-3006, or at any other address previously furnished in writing
to the Trustee by the Issuer.

         Section 11.05 Notices and Reports to Holders; Waiver of Notices. Where
                       -------------------------------------------------
this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event or the mailing of any
report to Holders, such notice or report shall be sufficiently given (unless
otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to
each Holder affected by such event or to whom such report is required to be
mailed, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the Register, not later
than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In any case where a notice
or report to Holders is mailed in the manner provided above, neither the failure
to mail such notice or report, nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed,
to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report
with respect to other Holders, and any notice or report which is mailed in the
manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or
provided.

         Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice
maybe waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such
notice. Waiver of notice by any Holder shall be filed with the Trustee, but such
filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.

         In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a
result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical
to mail notice of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such
notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a
sufficient giving of such notice.

         Section 11.06 Rules by Trustee and Agents. The Trustee may make

         Section 11.08 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in

         Section 11.09 Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or
                       ------------

legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

         Section 11.10 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in
                       ---------------------
the Certificates, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the
parties hereto and their successors here under and the Holders, any benefit or
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

         Section 11.11 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date of any Payment
                       --------------
Date, or the Stated Maturity or any other date on which principal of, or
interest on, any Certificate is proposed to be paid shall not be a Business Day,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Certificates or this Indenture)
payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of
any such Payment Date or the Stated Maturity or other date for the payment of
principal of, or interest on, any Certificate, as the case may be, and no
interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date,
provided such payment is made in full on such next succeeding Business Day.

         Section 11.12 Governing Law. This Indenture and each Certificate shall
                       -------------
be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the
State of Georgia applicable to agreements made and to be performed in the State
of Georgia and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereto and
the Holders shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

         Section 11.13 Counterparts. This instrument may be executed in any
                       ------------
number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

         Section 11.14 Recording of Indenture. This Indenture is subject to
                       ----------------------
recording in any appropriate public recording office, such recording to be
effected by the Issuer and at its expense in compliance with any Opinion of
Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 2.12(e).

         Section 11.15 Issuer Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
                       -----------------
indirectly, against (i) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer
(solely in its capacity as such), (ii) any incorporator, subscriber to the
capital stock, stockholder, partner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director,
employee, or successor or assign of a holder of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, (iii) any manager, or any stockholder, officer, director or employee of
any manager, or any predecessor of successor of any manager, or (iv) any

Trustee with respect to the Issuer's obligation with respect to the Certificates
or the obligation of the Issuer or the Trustee under this Indenture or any
certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith.

         Section 11.16 Usury. The amount of interest payable or paid on any
                       -----
Certificate under the terms of this Indenture shall be limited to an amount
which shall not exceed the maximum no usurious rate of interest allowed by the
applicable laws of the United States or the State of Georgia (whichever shall
permit the higher rate), which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or
received (the "Highest Lawful Rate"). In the event any payment of interest on
any Certificate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Issuer stipulates that such
excess amount will be deemed to have been paid as a result of an error on the
part of both the Trustee, acting on behalf of the Holder of such Certificate,
and the Issuer, and the Holder receiving such excess payment shall promptly,
upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof from the Issuer or the
Trustee, refund the amount of such excess or, at the option of the Trustee,
apply the excess to the payment of principal of such Certificate, if any,
remaining unpaid.

         Section 11.17 Conflict With Trust Indenture Act. If any provision
                       ---------------------------------

written.
