Date") to Consolidated Fixed Charges of such Person for the Four Quarter Period.
In addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, for purposes of this
definition, "Consolidated EBITDA" and "Consolidated Fixed Charges" shall be
calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis for the period of such

         and any incurrence or repayment of other Indebtedness (and the

         occurring during the Four Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to
         the last day of the Four Quarter Period and on or prior to the
         Transaction Date, as if such incurrence or repayment, as the case may
         be (and the application of the proceeds thereof), occurred on the first
         day of the Four Quarter Period; and

<PAGE>
                                      -7-

                  (2) any Asset Sales or other disposition or Asset Acquisitions
         (including, without limitation, any Asset Acquisition giving rise to

         its Restricted Subsidiaries (including any Person who becomes a
         Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the Asset Acquisition) incurring,
         assuming or otherwise being liable for Acquired Indebtedness and also
         including any Consolidated EBITDA attributable to the assets which are
         the subject of the Asset Acquisition or Asset Sale or other disposition
         during the Four Quarter Period) occurring during the Four Quarter
         Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four Quarter
         Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such Asset Sale
         or other disposition or Asset Acquisition (including the incurrence,
         assumption or liability for any such Acquired Indebtedness) occurred on
         the first day of the Four Quarter Period.

                  For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is
to be given to an Asset Acquisition and the amount of income or earnings
relating thereto, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith
by a responsible financial or accounting Officer of the Company and shall comply
with the requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the
Commission, except that such pro forma calculations may include operating
expense reductions for such period resulting from the acquisition which is being
given pro forma effect that have been realized or for which the steps necessary
for realization have been taken or are reasonably expected to be taken within
six months following any such Asset Acquisition, including, but not limited to,
the execution or termination of any contracts, the termination of any personnel
or the closing (or approval by the Board of Directors of the Company of any
closing) of any facility, as applicable, provided that, in either case, such
adjustments are set forth in an Officers' Certificate signed by the Company's
chief financial officer and another Officer which states (i) the amount of such
adjustment or adjustments, (ii) that such adjustment or adjustments are based on
the reasonable good faith beliefs of the Officers executing such Officers'
Certificate at the time of such execution and (iii) that any related incurrence
of Indebtedness is permitted pursuant to this Indenture.

                  If such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries directly
or indirectly guarantees Indebtedness of a third Person, the preceding sentence
shall give effect to the incurrence of such guaranteed Indebtedness as if such
Person or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Person had directly incurred or
otherwise assumed such guaranteed Indebtedness.

                  Furthermore, in calculating "Consolidated Fixed Charges" for
purposes of determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of this
"Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio":

                  (1) interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined on a
         fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will continue to
         be so determined thereafter shall

<PAGE>
                                      -8-

         be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate
         of interest on such Indebtedness in effect on the Transaction Date; and

                  (2) notwithstanding clause (1) above, interest on Indebtedness
         determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is
         covered by agreements relating to Interest Swap Obligations, shall be
         deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to
         the operation of such agreements.

                  "Consolidated Fixed Charges" means, with respect to any Person
for any period, the sum, without duplication, of:

                  (1) Consolidated Interest Expense (excluding the amortization
         or write-off of deferred financing costs); plus

                  (2) the product of (x) the amount of all dividend payments on
         any series of Preferred Stock of such Person and, to the extent
         permitted under this Indenture, its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than
         dividends paid in Qualified Capital Stock) paid, accrued or scheduled
         to be paid or accrued during such period times (y) a fraction, the
         numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is one minus the
         then current effective consolidated federal, state and local income tax
         rate of such Person, expressed as a decimal.

                  "Consolidated Interest Expense" means, with respect to any
Person for any period, the sum of, without duplication:

                  (1) the aggregate of the interest expense of such Person and
         its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period determined on a
         consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, including without
         limitation: (a) any amortization of debt discount and amortization or
         write-off of deferred financing costs; (b) the net costs under Interest
         Swap Obligations; (c) all capitalized interest; and (d) the interest
         portion of any deferred payment obligation; and

                  (2) the interest component of Capitalized Lease Obligations
         paid, accrued and/or scheduled to be paid or accrued by such Person and
         its Restricted Subsidiaries during such period as determined on a
         consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

                  "Consolidated Net Income" means, with respect to any Person,
for any period, the aggregate net income (or loss) of such Person and its
Restricted Subsidiaries for such period on a consolidated basis, determined in
accordance with GAAP; provided that there shall be excluded therefrom (without
duplication):

<PAGE>
                                      -9-

                  (1) after-tax gains and losses from Asset Sales (without
         regard to the $5.0 million limitation set forth in the definition
         thereof) or abandonments or reserves relating thereto;

                  (2) after-tax items classified as extraordinary or
         nonrecurring gains and losses;

                  (3) the net income of any Person acquired in a "pooling of
         interests" transaction accrued prior to the date it becomes a
         Restricted Subsidiary of the referent Person or is merged or
         consolidated with the referent Person or any Restricted Subsidiary of
         the referent Person;

                  (4) the net income (but not loss) of any Restricted Subsidiary
         of the referent Person to the extent that the declaration of dividends
         or similar distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary of that income
         is restricted by a contract, operation of law or otherwise, unless
         received;

                  (5) the net income of any Person, other than a Restricted
         Subsidiary of the referent Person, except to the extent of cash
         dividends or distributions paid to the referent Person or to a
         Restricted Subsidiary of the referent Person by such Person;

                  (6) any restoration to income of any contingency reserve,
         except to the extent that provision for such reserve was made out of
         Consolidated Net Income accrued at any time following the Issue Date;

                  (7) income or loss attributable to discontinued operations;
         and

                  (8) in the case of a successor to the referent Person by

         assets, any earnings of the successor corporation prior to such
         consolidation, merger or transfer of assets.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Consolidated Net Income" shall

other documents required by Sections 13.4 and 13.5 hereof, shall authenticate
Series B Notes; provided that such Series B Notes shall be issuable only upon
the valid surrender for cancellation of Series A Notes of a like aggregate
principal amount in accordance with the Exchange Offer or an exchange offer
specified in any registration rights agreement relating to the Additional Notes
or to be offered in connection with any issuance of Additional Notes pursuant to
a registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act. Such written
order of the Company shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and
the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated. Any
Additional Notes shall be part of the same issue as the Notes being issued on
the Issue Date and will vote on all matters as one class with the Notes being
issued on the Issue Date, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments,
redemptions, Change of Control Offers and Net Proceeds Offers. For the

<PAGE>
                                      -36-

purposes of this Indenture, except for Section 4.9 hereof, references to the
Notes include Additional Notes, if any.

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

Section 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent.

                  The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may
be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange
("Registrar") and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment
("Paying Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their
transfer and exchange. At the option of the Company, payment of interest and
Additional Interest 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, Redemption Price and Purchase Price of, and interest and Additional
Interest (if any) on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which
shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or the Paying
Agent. 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 shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Paying 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
may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Depositary shall, by acceptance of a
Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note
may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Depositary
(or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be
required to be reflected in a book entry.

                  The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the
Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Note Custodian with respect to the
Global Notes, until such time as the Trustee has resigned or a successor has
been appointed.

Section 2.4. Paying Agents to Hold Money in Trust.

                  The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the
Trustee to agree in writing that such the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for
the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the
payment of principal and of any premium, if any, interest and Additional
Interest, if any, on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any

<PAGE>
                                      -37-

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 and account for any money disbursed. Upon payment over
to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no
further liability for the money. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall
segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all
money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization
proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for
the Notes.

Section 2.5. Holder Lists.

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

Section 2.6. Transfer and Exchange.

                  (a) Transfer and Exchange Generally: Book Entry Provisions.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Registrar, and
satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section
2.6, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes
of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and
bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

                  Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the
Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company
pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive
bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

                  All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Registrar, and the Notes shall be duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing. Except as otherwise provided in this
Indenture, and in addition to the requirements set forth in the legend referred
to in Section 2.6(h)(i) below, in connection with any transfer of Transfer
Restricted Securities any request for transfer shall be accompanied by a
certification to the Trustee relating to the manner of such transfer
substantially in the form of Exhibit D(2) hereto.

                  (b) Book-Entry Provisions for the Global Notes. The Rule 144A
Global Note and Regulation S Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in
the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered
to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set
forth in Section 2.6(h).

                  Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent
Members") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Rule
144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, held on their
behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Rule
144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, and the
Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of Rule 144A Global Note or
Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the
Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any
written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary
or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any
Note.

                  Transfers of the Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S
Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Rule 144A Global Note or
Regulation S Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its
successors or their respective nominees. Beneficial interests in the Rule 144A
Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note may be transferred in accordance
with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of
this Section 2.6. The registration of transfer and exchange of beneficial
interests in the Global Note, which does not involve the issuance of a
Certificated Note, shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with
this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the
procedures of the Depositary therefor. The Trustee shall have no responsibility
or liability for any act or omission of the Depositary.

                  At any time at the request of the beneficial holder of an
interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note to
obtain a Certificated Note, such beneficial holder shall be entitled to obtain a
Certificated Note upon written request to the Trustee and the Note Custodian in
accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the
Note Custodian and Depositary for the issuance thereof. Upon receipt of any such
request, the Trustee, or the Note Custodian at the direction of the Trustee,
will cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing
between the Depositary and the Note Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of
the Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as appropriate,
to be reduced by the principal amount of the Certificated Note issued upon such
request to such beneficial holder and, following such reduction, the Company
will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to such beneficial
holder (or its nominee) a Certificated Note or Certificated Notes in the
appropriate aggregate principal amount in the name of such beneficial holder (or
its nominee) and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this
Indenture.

         case may be, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company
         within 90 days after delivery of such notice; or

                  (ii) the Company, at its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee
         in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Certificated Notes
         under this Indenture,

authentication order in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, authenticate and
deliver Certificated Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note or the Permanent Regulation S
Global Note, as the case may be, in exchange for such Global Notes.

                  (h) Legends.

                  (i) Except as permitted by the following paragraphs (ii) and
(iii), each Note certificate evidencing Global Notes and Certificated Notes (and
all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall (x) be
subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.6 (including
those set forth in the legend below) unless such restrictions on transfer shall
be waived by written consent of the Company, and the Holder of each

<PAGE>

Transfer Restricted Security, by such Holder's acceptance thereof, agrees to be

         OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR
         BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW. BY ITS ACQUISITION

         ACT, (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL

         ACCREDITED INVESTOR (AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a)(1), (2), (3), OR (7)
         UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AN "ACCREDITED INVESTOR") THAT, PRIOR TO SUCH
         TRANSFER, FURNISHES (OR HAS FURNISHED ON ITS BEHALF BY A U.S.
         BROKER-DEALER) TO THE TRUSTEE A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN
         REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
         OF THIS SECURITY (THE FORM OF WHICH LETTER CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE
         TRUSTEE FOR THIS NOTE), (D) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE
         TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF
         AVAILABLE), (E) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY
         RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), (F) IN ACCORDANCE
         WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
         SECURITIES ACT (AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF DOLE FOOD
         COMPANY, INC. SO REQUESTS), OR (G) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
         REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND (3) AGREES THAT IT
         WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS NOTE IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE

         THIS NOTE, IF THE PROPOSED

<PAGE>
                                      -43-

         TRANSFEREE IS AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR, THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH
         TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE TRUSTEE AND DOLE FOOD COMPANY, INC. SUCH
         CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS EITHER OF THEM
         MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE
         PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
         REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. AS USED HEREIN, THE
         TERMS "OFFSHORE TRANSACTION," "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" HAVE
         THE MEANING GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

                  (ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted
Security (including any Transfer Restricted Security represented by a Global
Note) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act:

                  (a) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security that is a
         Certificated Note, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to
         exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a Certificated Note that
         does not bear the legend set forth in (i) above and rescind any
         restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security; and

                  (b) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security
         represented by a Global Note, such Transfer Restricted Security shall
         not be required to bear the legend set forth in (i) above, but shall
         continue to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(b) hereof;
         provided, however, that with respect to any request for an exchange of
         a Transfer Restricted Security that is represented by a Global Note for
         a Certificated Note that does not bear the legend set forth in (i)
         above, which request is made in reliance upon Rule 144, the Holder
         thereof shall certify in writing to the Registrar that such request is
         being made pursuant to Rule 144 (such certifications to be
         substantially in the form of Exhibit D(2) hereto).

                  (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon consummation of the
Exchange Offer, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an authentication
order in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate
Series B Notes in exchange for Series A Notes accepted for exchange in the
Exchange Offer, which Series B Notes shall not bear the legend set forth in (i)
above, and the Registrar shall rescind any restriction on the transfer of such
Series A Notes, in each case unless the Company has notified the Registrar in
writing that the Holder of such Series A Notes is either (A) a broker-dealer,
(B) a Person participating in the distribution of the Series A Notes or (C) a
Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144A) of the Company.

                  (iv) Each Global Note, whether or not a Transfer Restricted
Security, shall also bear the following legend on the fact thereof:

                  (v) Any Global Note may be endorsed with or have incorporated
in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with
the provisions of this Indenture as may be required by the Note Custodian, the
Depositary or by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. in order
for the Notes to be tradable on the PORTAL Market or tradable on Euroclear or
Clearstream or as may be required for the Notes to be tradable on any other
market developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S
under the Securities Act or required to comply with any applicable law or any
regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities
exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Notes may be listed or
traded or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any
special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

                  (i) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such
time as all beneficial interests in Global Notes have been exchanged for
Certificated Notes, redeemed,

<PAGE>
                                      -45-

repurchased or canceled, all Global Notes shall 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 Certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the
principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Notes shall be reduced
accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee
or the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such
reduction. In the event of any transfer of any beneficial interest between the
Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note in accordance with the
standing procedures and instructions between the Depositary and the Note
Custodian and the transfer restrictions set forth herein, the aggregate
principal amount of each of the Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S
Global Note shall be appropriately increased or decreased, as the case may be,
and an endorsement shall be made on each of the Rule 144A Global Note and the
Regulation S Global Note by the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction
of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

                  (j) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

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

                  (ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any
registration of transfer, fee 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 3.6
and 9.5 hereof).

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

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

                  (v) The Company shall not be required:

                  (a) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange Notes
         during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the
         day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.2 hereof
         and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; or

<PAGE>
                                      -46-

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

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

                  (vi) Prior to due presentment of 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 all payments with respect to such Notes, and neither the
Trustee, any Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  (vii) The Trustee shall authenticate Certificated Notes and
Global Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof.

Section 2.7. Replacement Notes.

                  If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or either
the Company or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee,
upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof,
shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee's requirements for
replacement of Notes are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an
indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment
of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent
and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note
is replaced. The Trustee and the Company each may charge such Holder for their
expenses in replacing such Note.

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

Section 2.8. Outstanding Notes.

                  The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have
been 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 or the Note Custodian in accordance with the
provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding.
Except as set forth in Section 2.9 hereof, a Note does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or any of its Affiliates holds the Note.

<PAGE>
                                      -47-

                  If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, it shall
cease to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser for value.

                  If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under
Section 4.1 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 shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue
interest.

Section 2.9. 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, the Guarantors or by any Affiliate thereof shall be considered
as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver of
consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned
shall be so disregarded. The Company agrees to notify the Trustee of the
existence of any such treasury Notes or Notes owned by the Company, any
Guarantor or an Affiliate thereof.

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes.

                  Until Certificated Notes are ready for delivery, the Company
may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an authentication order in
accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, shall authenticate temporary Notes.
Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Certificated Notes, but
may have such variations as the Company considers appropriate for temporary
Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable
delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Certificated
Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

                  Holders of temporary Notes shall 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 shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or Paying Agent, and
no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of all

<PAGE>
                                      -48-

canceled Notes in accordance with the Trustee's usual procedures. The Trustee
shall maintain a record of all canceled Notes. All cancelled Notes shall be
delivered to the Company. Subject to Section 2.7 hereof, the Company may not
issue new Notes to replace Notes that have been 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, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus,
to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons
who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof. The Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on
each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause
to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no
such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment
date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record
date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in
the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to
Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date
and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13. Persons Deemed Owners.

                   Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of
transfer and subject to Section 2.12 hereof, the Company, the Trustee, any
Paying Agent, any co-registrar and any Registrar may deem and treat the person
in whose name any Note shall be registered upon the register of Notes kept by
the Registrar as the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall
be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of the ownership or other writing
thereon made by anyone other than the Company, any co-registrar or any
Registrar) for the purpose of receiving all payments with respect to such Note
and for all other purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying
Agent, any co-registrar or any Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

Section 2.14. CUSIP Numbers.

                   The Company in issuing the Notes may use a "CUSIP" number,
and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption or
exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state
that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP
number printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall
notify the Trustee of any change to the CUSIP numbers.

                                  ARTICLE III.

                            REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE

Section 3.1. Notices to Trustee.

                  If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the
provisions of Section 3.7 or 3.8 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (unless a
shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), an Officers'
Certificate setting forth the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the
redemption shall occur, the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be
redeemed and the Redemption Price.

                  If the Company is required to offer to repurchase Notes
pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.10 or 4.15 hereof, it shall notify the
Trustee in writing, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
Purchase Date, of the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the repurchase
shall occur, the Purchase Date, the principal amount of Notes required to be
repurchased and the Purchase Price and shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate to the effect that (a) the Company is required to make or has made a
Net Proceeds Offer or a Change of Control Offer, as the case may be, and (b) the
conditions set forth in Section 4.10 or 4.15 hereof, as the case may be, have
been satisfied.

                  If the Registrar is not the Trustee, the Company shall,
concurrently with each notice of redemption or repurchase, cause the Registrar
to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (upon which the Trustee may rely)
setting forth the principal amounts of Notes held by each Holder.

Section 3.2. Selection of Notes.

                  Except as set forth below, if less than all of the Notes are
to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof to be
redeemed either (1) in compliance with the requirements of the principal
national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed, or (2) on a
pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes or
portions thereof to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided
herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

                  If less than all of the Notes tendered are to be repurchased
pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall select the
Notes or portions thereof to be repurchased in compliance with Section 4.10. In
the event of partial repurchase by lot, the particular Notes or portions thereof
to be repurchased shall be selected at the close of business of the last
Business Day prior to the Purchase Date. If less than all of the Notes tendered
are to

<PAGE>
                                      -50-

be repurchased pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.8 hereof, the Trustee
shall select the Notes only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis
as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures).

                  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of
the Notes or portions thereof selected for redemption or repurchase and, in the
case of any Note selected for partial redemption or repurchase, the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed or repurchased. Notes and portions thereof
selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000; except
that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding
amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be
redeemed. No Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in
part.

Section 3.3. Notice of Optional or Special Redemption.

                  In the event Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.7
or 3.8 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption
Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes
are to be redeemed in whole or in part, with a copy to the Trustee.

                  The notice shall identify the Notes or portions thereof to be
redeemed (including the CUSIP number, if any) and shall state:

                  (a) the Redemption Date;

                  (b) the Redemption Price;

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

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

                  (e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to
         the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price, Additional Interest,
         if any, and, unless the Redemption Date is after a record date and or
         before the succeeding interest payment date, accrued interest thereon
         to the Redemption Date;

                  (f) that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption
         payment, interest and any Additional Interest on Notes called for
         redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and
         the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to receive
         payment of the Redemption Price, any Additional Interest and, unless
         the Redemption Date is after a record date and on or before the
         succeeding

<PAGE>
                                      -51-

         interest payment date, accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date
         upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed;

                  (g) if fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the
         identification of the particular Notes (or portions thereof) to be
         redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be
         redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding
         after such partial redemption;

                  (h) the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes
         called for redemption are being redeemed; and

                  (i) 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 and that reliance may be placed only on the other
         identification numbers printed on the Notes.

                  At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; provided that the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 40 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 3.4. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

                  Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the
Redemption Price. Upon surrender to any Paying Agent, such Notes or portions
thereof shall be paid at the Redemption Price, plus Additional Interest, if any,
and accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that
installments of interest which are due and payable on or prior to the Redemption
Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, registered as such, at the
close of business on the relevant record date for the payment of such
installment of interest.

Section 3.5. Deposit of Redemption Price or Purchase Price.

                  On or before 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on each Redemption Date
or Purchase Date, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with
the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the aggregate amount due on all Notes
to be redeemed or repurchased on that date, including without limitation any
accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the Redemption
Date or Repurchase Date. Upon written request by the Company, the Trustee or the
Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money not required for
that purpose.

                  Unless the Company defaults in making such payment, interest
and any Additional Interest on the Notes to be redeemed or repurchased will
cease to accrue on the

<PAGE>
                                      -52-

applicable Redemption Date or Purchase Date, whether or not such Notes are
presented for payment. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid
upon surrender because of the failure of the Company to comply with the
preceding paragraph, interest will be paid on the unpaid principal, from the
applicable Redemption Date or Purchase Date until such principal is paid, and on
any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof.

Section 3.6. Notes Redeemed or Repurchased in Part.

                  Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or repurchased in
part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder
at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to portion of
the Note surrendered that is not to be redeemed or repurchased.

Section 3.7. Optional Redemption.

                  The Company may redeem any or all of the Notes at any time on
or after June 15, 2007 at the Redemption Prices set forth in the Notes (an
"Optional Redemption"). Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be
made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof.

Section 3.8. Optional Redemption Upon Equity Offerings.

                  In the event the Company completes one or more Equity
Offerings on or before June 15, 2006, the Company, at its option, may use the
net cash proceeds from any such Equity Offering to redeem up to 35% of the
original principal amount of the Notes (a "Special Redemption") at a Redemption
Price of 107.250% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and
unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of redemption,
provided, however, that at least 65% of the original principal amount of the
Notes initially issued under this Indenture will remain outstanding immediately
after each such Special Redemption; and provided, further, that such Special
Redemption shall occur within 90 days after the date of the closing of the
applicable Equity Offering. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall be
made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof.

Section 3.9. Repurchase upon Change of Control Offer.

                  In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof, the
Company shall be required to commence a Change of Control Offer, it shall follow
the procedures specified below.

                  The Change of Control Offer shall remain open for a period
from the date of the mailing of the notice of the Change of Control Offer
described in the next paragraph until a date determined by the Company which is
at least 30 but no more than 60 days from the

<PAGE>
                                      -53-

date of mailing of such notice and no longer, except to the extent that a longer
period is required by applicable law (the "Change of Control Offer Period"). On
the Purchase Date, which shall be no later than the last day of the Change of
Control Offer Period, the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes
properly tendered in response to the Change of Control Offer. Payment for any
Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are
made.

                  Prior to the mailing of the notice referred to above, but in
any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company covenants
to (1) repay in full all Obligations, and terminate all commitments, under the
Credit Agreement and all other Guarantor Senior Debt the terms of which require
repayment upon a Change of Control or offer to repay in full all Obligations,
and terminate all commitments under, the Credit Agreement and all other such
Guarantor Senior Debt and to repay the Indebtedness owed to (and terminate the
commitments of) each lender which has accepted such offer; or (2) obtain the
requisite consents under the Credit Agreement and all other Guarantor Senior
Debt to permit the repurchase of the Notes as provided below. The Company shall
first comply with the covenant in the immediately preceding sentence before it
shall be required to either repurchase Notes or send the notice pursuant to the
provisions described above. The Company's failure to comply with the covenant
described in the second preceding sentence (and any failure to send the notice
referred to in the immediately succeeding paragraph as a result of the
prohibition in the second preceding sentence) may (with notice and lapse of
time) constitute an Event of Default described in clause (c) of Section 6.1
hereof, but shall not constitute an Event of Default described in clause (b)
under Section 6.1 hereof.

                  Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company
shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the
Holders. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to
enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. The
Change of Control shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern
the terms of the Change of Control Offer, shall state:

                  (a) the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change
         of Control, providing information, to the extent publicly available,
         regarding the Person or Persons acquiring control, and stating that the
         Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.9 and
         Section 4.15 hereof and that, to the extent lawful, all Notes tendered
         will be accepted for payment;

                  (b) the Purchase Price, the last day of the Change of Control
         Offer Period, and the Purchase Date;

                  (c) that any Note not properly tendered or otherwise not
         accepted for repurchase will continue to accrue interest and Additional
         Interest, if any;

<PAGE>
                                      -54-

                  (d) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the
         amount due on the Purchase Date, all Notes or portions thereof accepted
         for repurchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to
         accrue interest and Additional Interest, if any, after the Purchase
         Date;

                  (e) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant
         to the Change of Control Offer will be required to tender the Notes,
         with the form entitled "Option of Holder To Elect Purchase" on the
         reverse of the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to

         permit it to repurchase Common Stock of Holdings or purchases by the
         Company of Common Stock of Holdings from employees of Holdings or the
         Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their authorized representatives
         upon the death, disability or termination of employment of such
         employees, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2.0 million in any
         calendar year;

                  (5) loans, advances, dividends or distributions by the Company
         to Holdings not to exceed an amount necessary to permit Holdings to pay

         federal or state laws in connection with the Credit Agreement or any
         other agreement or instrument relating to Indebtedness of Holdings, the
         Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or otherwise incurred in
         connection with compliance with applicable laws or applicable rules of
         any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory body or stock exchange,
         including in respect of reports filed with respect to the Securities
         Act, the Exchange Act or the respective rules and regulations
         promulgated thereunder and, for so long as Holdings' primary business
         is to hold the

         charges or assessments (other than federal, state and local income
         taxes and withholding imposed on payments made by Holdings) required to
         be paid by Holdings by virtue of its being incorporated or having
         capital stock outstanding (but not by virtue of owning stock or other
         equity interests of any corporation other than the Company or any of
         its Subsidiaries), or being a holding company parent of the Company or

         Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or having guaranteed any
         obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary, or having made any
         payment in respect of any of the items for which the Company is
         permitted to make payments to Holdings pursuant to this covenant or (y)
         any other federal, state, foreign, provincial or local taxes for which
         Holdings is liable up to an amount not to exceed with respect to any
         such taxes the total amount of such taxes which the Company would have
         been required to pay on a separate company basis or on a consolidated
         basis if the Company had filed a consolidated return on behalf of an
         affiliated group (as defined in Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue
         Code of 1986, as amended, or an analogous provision of state, local or
         foreign law) of which it were the common parent, or with respect to
         state and local taxes, on a combined basis if the Company had filed a
         combined return on behalf of an affiliated group of which it were a
         member;

         Subordinated Indebtedness upon the occurrence of a "change of control"
         as defined in the agreements or instruments governing such Subordinated
         Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company has made a Change of
         Control Offer and has purchased all Notes tendered in connection with
         such Change of Control Offer;

                  (8) repurchase of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon exercise

         Person that is merged or consolidated with or into the Company or any
         Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to any merger, consolidation or sale of
         assets effected in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof; provided,
         however, that no such payment may be made pursuant to this

<PAGE>
                                      -64-

         clause (10) unless, after giving pro forma effect to such transaction,
         and the incurrence of any Indebtedness in connection with such
         transaction and the use of the proceeds from such transaction, the
         Company would be able to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under
         paragraph (a) of Section 4.9 hereof.

                  In determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments
made subsequent to the Issue Date in accordance with clause (iii) of the second
preceding paragraph, amounts expended pursuant to clauses (1), (2)(ii),
(3)(ii)(a) and (4) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be included in
such calculation.

Section 4.8. Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting
             Restricted Subsidiaries

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

                  (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in
         respect of its Capital Stock;

                  (2) make loans or advances to the Company or any other
         Restricted Subsidiary or to pay any Indebtedness or other obligation
         owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;
         or

                  (3) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or
         any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,

except in each case for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by
reason of:

                  (b) this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Existing
         Notes, the Existing Note Guarantees, the 2011 Notes and the 2011 Note

                  (c) customary non-assignment provisions or restrictions on
         cash or other deposits and net worth covenants contained in any
         contract or any lease governing a leasehold interest of any Restricted
         Subsidiary of the Company;

                  (d) any agreement or instrument governing Acquired
         Indebtedness, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any
         Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the
         Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired;

<PAGE>
                                      -65-

                  (e) agreements or instruments existing on the Issue Date to
         the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on the Issue
         Date, including the 2011 Notes Indenture and the Existing Notes
         Indenture;

                  (f) the Credit Agreement;

                  (g) an agreement governing Guarantor Senior Debt permitted to
         be incurred under this Indenture (other than Guarantor Senior Debt
         under, or with respect to, the Credit Agreement); provided that, with
         respect to any agreement governing such Guarantor Senior Debt, the
         provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction are no less
         favorable to the Company in any material respect as determined by the
         Board of Directors of the Company in its reasonable and good faith
         judgment than the provisions contained in the Credit Agreement as in
         effect on the Issue Date;

                  (h) restrictions on the transfer of assets subject to any Lien
         permitted under this Indenture imposed by the holder of such Lien;

                  (i) restrictions imposed by any agreement to sell assets or
         Capital Stock permitted under this Indenture to any Person pending the
         closing of such sale;

                  (j) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other
         similar agreements (in each case relating solely to the respective
         joint venture or similar entity or the equity interests therein)
         entered into in the ordinary course of business;

                  (k) other Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not
         Guarantors permitted to be incurred pursuant to an agreement entered
         into subsequent to the Issue Date in accordance with Section 4.9
         hereof; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the Company
         determines in good faith at the time such dividend and other payment
         restrictions are created that such dividend and other payment
         restrictions do not materially adversely affect the Company's ability
         to pay principal of, and interest on, the Notes;

                  (l) purchase money obligations (including any Capitalized
         Lease Obligations) relating to property acquired in the ordinary course
         of business;

                  (m) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be
         incurred under Sections 4.12 and 4.23(a) hereof (including Permitted
         Liens) that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets
         subject to such Liens; and

                  (n) an agreement governing Indebtedness incurred to Refinance
         the Indebtedness issued, assumed or incurred pursuant to an agreement
         referred to in clauses (b), (d), (e) and (g) through (m) above;
         provided, however, that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or
         restriction contained in any such Indebtedness are not in the

<PAGE>
                                      -66-

         aggregate materially less favorable to the Company as determined by the
         Board of Directors of the Company in their reasonable and good faith
         judgment than the provisions relating to such encumbrance or
         restriction contained in agreements referred to in such clauses (b),
         (d), (e) and (g) through (m).

Section 4.9. Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness.

                  (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume,
guarantee, acquire, become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to,
or otherwise become responsible for payment of (collectively, "incur") any
Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness); provided, however, that if no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of
or as a consequence of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is or, upon such incurrence, becomes a
Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Acquired
Indebtedness) and any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not or will
not, upon such incurrence, become a Guarantor may incur Acquired Indebtedness,
in each case if on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving
effect to the incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
of the Company is greater than 2.0 to 1.0.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Company will
not incur any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is by its terms subordinate or
junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company, unless such
Indebtedness is also by its terms made subordinate or junior in right of payment
to the Notes to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is
subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Company.

Section 4.10. Limitation on Asset Sales.

                  (A) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

                  (1) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as
         the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale
         at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise
         disposed of (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
         Directors);

                  (2) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company
         or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale
         shall be in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets
         and shall be received at the time of such disposition; provided that:

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

<PAGE>
                                      -67-

                  such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by
                  their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or
                  any Guarantee of a Guarantor) that are assumed by the
                  transferee of any such assets, and

                           (b) the fair market value of any securities or other
                  assets received by the Company or any such Restricted
                  Subsidiary in exchange for any such assets that are converted
                  into cash within 180 days after such Asset Sale,

         shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision; and

                  (3) upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company shall
         apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash
         Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 365 days of receipt thereof
         (provided that if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the
         case may be, has entered into an agreement in definitive form to so
         apply such Net Cash Proceeds, the transaction contemplated by such
         agreement must be consummated within the later of such 365 day period
         and 120 days from the date of the execution of such agreement) either:

                           (a) to repay any Obligations under the Credit
                  Agreement or any Guarantor Senior Debt and, in the case of any
                  such Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, effect a
                  permanent reduction in the availability under such revolving
                  credit facility;

                           (b) to make an investment in properties and assets
                  that replace the properties and assets that were the subject
                  of such Asset Sale or in properties and assets (including
                  Capital Stock) that will be used in the business of the
                  Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as existing on the
                  Issue Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto
                  ("Replacement Assets"); and/or

                           (c) a combination of repayment and investment
                  permitted by the foregoing clauses (3)(a) and (3)(b).

                  (B) Pending the final application of such Net Cash Proceeds,
the Company may temporarily reduce borrowings under the Credit Agreement or any
other revolving credit facility, if any. On the 366th day after an Asset Sale or
such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such
Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to
such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (3)(a), (3)(b) and (3)(c) of paragraph
(A) above or, in the event that a definitive agreement has been entered into
prior to such 366th day pursuant to which the Net Cash Proceeds are to be
applied, on the later of the 366th day and the 121st day after the execution of
such agreement (each, a "Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date"), such aggregate
amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Net
Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (3)(a), (3)(b) and (3)(c) of
the preceding paragraph (each a "Net Proceeds Offer Amount") shall be applied by

<PAGE>
                                      -68-

the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the "Net
Proceeds Offer") to all Holders and, to the extent required by the terms of any
Pari Passu Debt, an offer to purchase to all holders of such Pari Passu Debt, on
a date (the "Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date") not less than 30 nor more than 60
days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders
(and holders of any such Pari Passu Debt) on a pro rata basis, that amount of
Notes (and Pari Passu Debt) equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (and Pari Passu Debt) to be
purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of
purchase.

                  (C) If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, in
connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed
of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash
consideration), then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to
constitute an Asset Sale hereunder as of the date of such conversion or
disposition and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance
with this Section 4.10.

                  (D) The Company may defer the Net Proceeds Offer until there
is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to or in excess of
$15.0 million resulting from one or more Asset Sales (at which time the entire
unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $15.0
million, shall be applied as required pursuant to this Section 4.10).

                  (E) In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not
all) of the property and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Section 5.1, which
transaction does not constitute a Change of Control, the successor corporation
shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for the purposes of this covenant,
and shall comply with the provisions of this covenant with respect to such
deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the fair market value of
such properties and assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries deemed
to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section
4.10.

                  (F) If any Net Cash Proceeds remain after the consummation of
any Net Proceeds Offer, the Company may use such Net Cash Proceeds for any
purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture without regard to this
Section 4.10. Upon completion of each Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer
Amount will be reset to zero.

                  (G) In the event the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries consummate a single Asset Sale for which the Company or its
Restricted Subsidiaries receive aggregate consideration at the time of such
Asset Sale in excess of $100.0 million, the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain
a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such Asset Sale to the Company or the
relevant

<PAGE>
                                      -69-

Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, from
an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Trustee.

                  (H) Notwithstanding paragraphs (A) and (B) of this Section
4.10, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to enter
into and consummate an Asset Swap without complying with such paragraphs to the
extent that:

                  (1) at the time of entering into such Asset Swap or
         immediately after giving effect to such Asset Swap, no Default or Event
         of Default shall have occurred or be continuing or would occur as a
         consequence thereof, and

                  (2) in the event that such Asset Swap involves an aggregate
         amount in excess of $10.0 million, a majority of the members of the
         Board of Directors of the Company shall have approved the terms of such
         Asset Swap and determined that the consideration received in such Asset
         Swap is at least equal to the fair market value of the assets disposed
         of in such Asset Swap.

                  (I) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule
14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection
with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent
that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this
Section 4.10, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Section 4.10 by virtue thereof.

Section 4.11. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.

                   The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to
exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without
limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the
rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates
(each an "Affiliate Transaction"), other than (x) Affiliate Transactions
permitted under the third paragraph below or (y) Affiliate Transactions on terms
that are no less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained
in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm's-length basis from a Person
that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary.

                   All Affiliate Transactions (and each series of related
Affiliate Transactions which are similar or part of a common plan) involving
aggregate payments with a fair market value in excess of $7.5 million shall be
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary,
as the case may be, such approval to be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating
that such Board of Directors has determined that such transaction complies with
the foregoing provisions. If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company enters into an Affiliate Transaction (or a series of related Affiliate
Transactions related to a

<PAGE>
                                      -70-

common plan) that involves an aggregate fair market value of more than $20.0
million, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall,
prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness
of such transaction or series of related transactions to the Company or the
relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of
view, from an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Trustee.

                  The restrictions set forth in this Section 4.11 shall not
apply to:

                  (1) reasonable fees and compensation paid to and indemnity
         provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of
         the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as determined
         in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors or senior management;

                  (2) transactions exclusively between or among the Company and
         any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among such
         Restricted Subsidiaries, provided such transactions are not otherwise
         prohibited by this Indenture;

                  (3) any agreement, or any arrangement the terms of which have
         been disclosed prior to the Issue Date in the Offering Memorandum, as
         in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment or replacement
         agreement thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including
         pursuant to any amendment or replacement agreement thereto) so long as
         any such amendment or replacement agreement taken as a whole is not
         materially more disadvantageous to the Holders than the original

Section 4.12. Limitation on Liens.

                   This Section 4.12 will apply to the Notes after the Existing
Notes no longer remain outstanding or in the event that the requisite consents
from the holders of Existing Notes have been received to have the obligations of
the Company released with respect to the sections described in the Existing
Notes Indenture comparable to Sections 4.23(a) and 4.23(b) hereof. In addition,
this Section 4.12 shall apply to the Notes if the comparable provisions under
Sections 4.23(a) and 4.23(b) hereof are no longer applicable as a result of
defeasance under the terms of the Existing Notes Indenture.

                   The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or
permit or suffer to exist any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) of any kind
against or upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after

<PAGE>
                                      -72-

the Issue Date, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any
right to receive income or profits therefrom unless:

                  (1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness,
         the Notes or the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as the case may be, are
         secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior
         in priority to such Liens; and

                  (2) in all other cases, the Notes or the Guarantee of such
         Guarantor, as the case may be, are equally and ratably secured by a
         Lien on such property, assets, proceeds, income or profits.

Section 4.13. Continued Existence.

                   Subject to Article V hereof, each of the Company and the
Guarantors shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate or other existence in accordance
with the organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time)
of the Company or such Guarantor and (ii) the material rights (charter and
statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company or such Guarantor, except to
the extent that the applicable Board of Directors determines in good faith that
the preservation of such right, license or franchise is no longer necessary or
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company or such Guarantor and
that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
Holders.

Section 4.14. Insurance Matters.

                   The Company shall provide or cause to be provided, for itself
and each of its Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance)
against loss or damage of the kinds that, in the reasonable, good faith opinion
of the Company, are adequate and appropriate for the conduct of the business of
the Company and its Subsidiaries in a prudent manner, with reputable insurers or
with the government of the United States of America or an agency or
instrumentality thereof, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and by such
methods as shall be either (i) consistent with past practices of the Company or
the applicable Subsidiary or (ii) customary, in the reasonable, good faith
opinion of the Company, for corporations similarly situated in the industry,
unless the failure to provide such insurance (together with all other such
failures) would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.15. Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control.

                   Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of
Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part
(equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes (a
"Change of Control Offer") at a Purchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and

<PAGE>
                                      -73-

unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the Purchase Date.
The Change of Control Offer shall be made in compliance with the applicable
procedures set forth in Article III hereof and shall include all instructions
and materials necessary to enable Holders to tender their Notes.

                   The Company will 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 validly tendered and not withdrawn
under such Change of Control Offer.

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

Section 4.16. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees.

                   If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
transfers or causes to be transferred, in one transaction or a series of related
transactions, any property to any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that is a
Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary and that is not a Guarantor, or if the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall organize, acquire or
otherwise invest in another Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that is a Wholly
Owned Restricted Subsidiary, in either case, after giving effect to such
transfer or other such event, having total assets with a book value in excess of
$2.5 million, then such transferee or acquired or other Restricted Subsidiary
shall, within 15 Business Days of such organization, acquisition or investment:

                  (1) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
         indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to
         which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee on a
         senior subordinated basis all of the Company's obligations under the
         Notes and this Indenture on the terms set forth in this Indenture
         (provided that such Guarantee shall be limited as necessary to prevent
         such Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent
         transfer under applicable law); and

                  (2) deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel that such
         supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
         by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding
         and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary.

<PAGE>
                                      -74-

Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of
this Indenture (until released from its Guarantee in accordance with the terms
of this Indenture).

Section 4.17. Conduct of Business.

                   The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not engage
in any businesses which are not the same, similar, ancillary or reasonably
related to the businesses in which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
are currently engaged on the Issue Date or which are contemplated in the
Offering Memorandum except to such extent as is not material to the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or with respect to businesses
acquired by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries that are intended to be
disposed of within a reasonable time after the acquisition thereof.

Section 4.18. Payments for Consent.

                   The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the 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 4.19. Limitation on Issuance of Preferred Stock of Restricted
              Subsidiaries.

                   The Company will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to issue any Preferred Stock (other than to
the Company or to a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) or permit
any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company) to own any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company that is not a Guarantor.

Section 4.20. Prohibition on Incurrence of Senior Subordinated Guarantees.

                   The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is
a Guarantor to incur or suffer to exist Indebtedness that is senior in right of
payment to such Guarantor's Guarantee and subordinate in right of payment to any
other Indebtedness of such Guarantor.

Section 4.21. Limitation of Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries.

                   The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is
not a Guarantor, directly or indirectly, by way of the pledge of any
intercompany note or otherwise, to assume, guarantee or in any other manner
become liable with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any other
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than: (1) Indebtedness or other
obligations under the Credit Agreement; (2) Permitted Indebtedness of a
Restricted

<PAGE>
                                      -75-

Subsidiary of the Company; (3) Indebtedness under Currency Agreements in
reliance on clause (5) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness; or (4)
Interest Swap Obligations incurred in reliance on clause (4) of the definition
of Permitted Indebtedness), unless, in any such case, such Restricted Subsidiary
executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing a
senior subordinated guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Restricted
Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Guarantee by a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Notes shall provide by its terms that it shall be
automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, without any further
action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, upon: the
unconditional release of such Restricted Subsidiary from its liability in
respect of the Indebtedness in connection with which such Guarantee was executed
and delivered pursuant to this paragraph; if the Company designates any
Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or any sale or
other disposition (by merger or otherwise) to any Person which is not a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of all of the Company's Capital Stock in,
or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary;
provided that (a) such sale or disposition of such Capital Stock or assets is
otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and (b) such
assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary has been
released by the holders of the other Indebtedness so guaranteed.

Section 4.22. Capital Call Agreement.

                   The Company shall have received the net cash proceeds from
the equity contribution or purchase of its Capital Stock, as the case may be, to
the extent required by, and upon the terms of, Section 2 (only to the extent
such Section relates to the consolidated leverage ratio (as defined therein)
requirement with respect to the four full fiscal quarter period commencing on
March 23, 2003) of the Capital Call Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date and
shall use such net cash proceeds to repay Indebtedness and/or purchase
subordinated participations in obligations under the Credit Agreement, in each
case, in compliance with the Capital Call Agreement as in effect on the Issue
Date.

Section 4.23. Existing Notes Covenants.

                   This Section 4.23 will apply to the Notes at all times so
long as the Existing Notes remain outstanding or in the event that the requisite
consents from the holders of the Existing Notes have not been received to have
the obligations of the Company released with respect to the sections described
in the Existing Notes Indenture comparable to Sections 4.23(a) and 4.23(b)
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.23 shall not apply to the
Notes if the comparable covenants in the Existing Notes Indenture are no longer
applicable as a result of defeasance under the terms of the Existing Notes
Indenture.

         will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly,
         create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for
         or suffer to exist any Indebtedness secured

<PAGE>
                                      -76-

         by a Lien on (i) any Principal Property of the Company or any
         Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) any shares of capital stock or
         Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary (which Indebtedness is then
         held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary), without effectively
         providing that the Notes (together with, if the Company shall so
         determine, any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted
         Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created which is not
         Subordinated Funded Debt) shall be secured equally and ratably with
         (or, at the option of the Company, prior to) such secured Indebtedness,
         so long as such secured Indebtedness shall be so secured, unless
         immediately thereafter, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate
         amount of all such secured Indebtedness plus all Attributable Debt of
         the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and
         Leaseback Transactions (but excluding leases exempt from the
         prohibition of clauses (2) through (6) of Section 4.23(b) hereof) would
         not exceed 10% of Net Tangible Assets; provided, however, that this
         Section 4.23(a) shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from
         secured Indebtedness in any computation under this Section 4.23(a),
         Indebtedness secured by:

                           (1) Liens on, and limited to, property of or shares
                  of capital stock or Indebtedness of any corporation existing

                  Restricted Subsidiary;

                           (2) Liens in favor of the Company or any Restricted

                  progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract
                  or provision of any statute;

                           (4) (i) if made in the ordinary course of business,

                  undertaking not directly or indirectly in connection with the
                  borrowing of money or the securing of Indebtedness, or (ii)
                  any Lien with any governmental agency required or permitted to
                  qualify the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to conduct
                  business, to maintain self-insurance or to obtain the benefits
                  of any law pertaining to workmen's compensation, employment
                  insurance, old age pensions, social security or similar
                  matters;

                           (5) Liens for taxes, assessment or governmental
                  charges or levies if such taxes, assessments, governmental
                  charges or levies shall not at the time be due and payable, or
                  if the same thereafter can be paid without penalty, or if the
                  same are being contested in good faith by appropriate
                  proceedings;

                           (6) Liens created by or resulting from any litigation
                  or legal proceeding which at the time is currently being

                  arising out of judgments or awards as to which the time for
                  prosecuting an appeal or proceeding for review has not
                  expired;

                  of the acquisition, the completion of construction or the
                  commencement of full operation of such property for the
                  purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price
                  thereof or construction thereon;

                  the holder by reason of Section 103(a)(1) of the Internal
                  Revenue Code (or any successor to such provision) as in effect

                  Obligation; or

                           (10) any extension, renewal or replacement (or
                  successive extensions, renewals or replacements), as a whole
                  or in part, of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses
                  (1) through (9), to the extent the Indebtedness secured by
                  such Lien is not increased from the amount originally so
                  secured, provided that such extension, renewal or replacement
                  Lien shall be limited to all or a part of the same property or

indebtedness or obligation has no recourse to the Company's general corporate
funds or the general corporate funds of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or
any of the Company's assets or any assets of the Restricted Subsidiaries other
than the assets that were acquired with the proceeds of such transaction or the
project financed with the proceeds of such transaction (and funds generated by
such assets or project) except pursuant to a covenant to pay to such obligee or
to the obligor of such indebtedness or obligation an amount equal to all or a
portion of the amount of any dividends received from such obligor within the
previous twelve months.

                  "Principal Property" means any manufacturing plant or
processing facility, including the equipment constituting a part thereof, which

outstanding voting stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the
Company or by one or more other Subsidiaries, or by the Company and one or more

Entity had been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that the
predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the
principal, Purchase Price or Redemption Price of or interest or Additional
Interest, if any, on the Notes except in the case of a sale of all of the
Company's assets that meets the requirements of Section 5.1 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE VI.

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.1. Events of Default.

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

                  (a) the failure to pay interest on any Notes when the same
         becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30
         days (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article X of
         this Indenture);

                  (b) the failure to pay the principal of any Notes when such
         principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or
         otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes
         tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer)

                  (c) a default in the observance or performance of any other
         covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, which default

<PAGE>
                                      -84-

         after the Company receives written notice specifying the default (and
         demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the
         Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the
         Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.1
         hereof, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice
         requirement but without such passage of time requirement);

                  (d) the failure to pay at final maturity (giving effect to any
         applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the stated
         principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted
         Subsidiary of the Company, or the acceleration of the final stated
         maturity of any such Indebtedness (which acceleration is not rescinded,
         annulled or otherwise cured within 30 days of receipt by the Company or
         such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration) if the
         aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the
         principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure
         to pay principal at final stated maturity or which has been accelerated
         (in each case with respect to which the 30-day period described above
         has elapsed), aggregates $25.0 million or more at any time; provided
         that if such failure to pay shall be remedied, waived or extended
         within 30 days of receipt by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
         of notice of such acceleration, then any Default or Event of Default
         hereunder shall be deemed likewise to be remedied, waived or extended
         without further action by the Company;

                  (e) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of
         $25.0 million shall have been rendered against the Company or any of
         its Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged,
         unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or
         judgments become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the
         rendering of any such judgment(s) shall not be an Event of Default
         under this clause (e) unless (i) the Company and its Restricted
         Subsidiaries which are subject to the order, as of the date of the
         issuance of such judgment(s), have at least $25.0 million in net assets
         located in such court's jurisdiction or (ii) a final and non-appealable
         order enforcing such judgment(s) is entered by a court of competent
         jurisdiction in a jurisdiction where the Company and its Restricted
         Subsidiaries subject to the order, as of the date of the entry of such
         order of enforcement, have at least $25.0 million in net assets located
         in such jurisdiction;

                  (i) commences a voluntary case under any Bankruptcy Law,

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

         creditors,

                  (v) consents to or acquiesces in the institution of a
         bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding against it, or

                  (vi) takes any corporate action to authorize or effect any of
         the foregoing;

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

                  (i) is for relief in an involuntary case against the Company
         or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company;

                  (ii) appoints a custodian or receiver of the Company or any
         Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property

         Significant Subsidiaries;

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

                  (h) any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in
         full force and effect or any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary is
         declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any Guarantee of a
         Significant Subsidiary is found to be invalid or any Guarantor that is
         a Significant Subsidiary denies its liability under its Guarantee
         (other than by reason of release of such Guarantor in accordance with
         the terms of this Indenture).

Section 6.2. Acceleration.

                  If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.1 hereof with respect to the
Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least
25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company
(and the Trustee, if such notice is given by such Holders) may declare the
principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be due and payable
immediately, which notice shall specify the respective Events of Default and
that it is a "notice of acceleration" (the "Acceleration Notice"), and upon
proper delivery of the Acceleration Notice, the entire principal amount of and
accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes (1)
shall become immediately due and payable, or (2) if there are any amounts
outstanding under the Credit Agreement, shall become immediately due and payable

is then continuing.

<PAGE>
                                      -86-

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default
specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.1 hereof with respect to the Company
occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of and premium, if any, and
accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by
written notice to the Company and the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of
all of the Notes, rescind and cancel an acceleration and its consequences:

                  (1) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or
         decree;

                  (2) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or
         waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due
         solely because of the acceleration;

                  (3) if, to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful,
         interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal,
         which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of
         acceleration, has been paid;

                  (4) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable
         compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements
         and advances; and

                  (5) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default
         of the type described in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.1 hereof, if
         the Trustee shall have received an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion
         of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

                  No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or
impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.3. Other Remedies.

                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if
any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, 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, and
any recovery or judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and

<PAGE>
                                      -87-

advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of
the Holders of the Notes. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder 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 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults.

                  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may
waive any existing Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, and its
consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on
any Notes. 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 6.5. 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 applicable law or this Indenture that the Trustee
reasonably determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders
of Notes or that may subject the Trustee to personal liability and shall be
entitled to the benefit of Sections 7.1(c)(iii) and (e) hereof.

Section 6.6. Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

                  (c) such Holder or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested,
         provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
         any loss, liability or expense;

                  (d) 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

<PAGE>
                                      -88-

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

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

Section 6.7. 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 of or premium, if
any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Note, on or after the
respective due dates thereon (including in connection with an offer to
repurchase), 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
written consent of such Holder.

Section 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee.

                  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.l(a) or (b)
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 and Additional Interest, if any, and interest
remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the
extent lawful, interest and Additional Interest, if any, and such further
amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expense, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.9. Notice.

                  The Company shall provide an Officers' Certificate to the
Trustee promptly upon any such Officer obtaining knowledge of any Default or
Event of Default (provided that such Officers shall provide such certification
at least annually whether or not such Officers know of any Default or Event of
Default) that has occurred and, if applicable, describe such Default or Event of
Default and the status thereof.

Section 6.10. 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 (including
accountants, experts or such other processionals as the Trustee deems necessary,
advisable or appropriate) 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

<PAGE>
                                      -89-

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 7.7 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 7.7 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 6.11. Priorities.

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

                  First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts
         due under Section 7.7 hereof, including payment of all compensation,
         expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee
         and the costs and expenses of collection;

                  Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the
         Notes for principal, Purchase Price, Redemption Price and Additional
         Interest, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority

         any, and interest, respectively; and

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

The Trustee may fix a special record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.11.

Section 6.12. Undertaking for Costs.

                  In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its

<PAGE>
                                      -90-

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

                                     TRUSTEE

Section 7.1. Duties of Trustee.

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

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

                  (i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by
         the express provisions of this Indenture and the TIA 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 or the TIA against the Trustee; and

                  (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
         conclusively rely, without investigation, as to the truth or the
         statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
         and statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
         conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.

However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine
whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.

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

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

                  (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

<PAGE>

                  (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
         action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
         direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5 hereof.

provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to
this Section 7.1.

                  (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be
under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this
Indenture at the request of any Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 6.5 hereof, unless such Holder
shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it
against any loss, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction.

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

Section 7.2. Rights of Trustee.

                  (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected
in acting or refraining from acting 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 refrain from acting, it shall
require an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee
shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
reliance on such Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may
consult with counsel of its own selection and the written advice of such counsel

omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

                  (f) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any
Default or Event of Default under Section 6.1 hereof (other than under Section
6.1(a) (subject to the following sentence) or Section 6.1(b) hereof) unless
either (i) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof, or (ii)
the Trustee shall have received notice thereof in accordance with Section 13.2
hereof from the Company or any Holder of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of the Company's obligation to pay Additional Interest,
or the cessation of such obligation, unless the Trustee receives written notice
thereof from the Company or any Holder.

                  (g) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and
benefits given to the Trustee, 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 each agent, custodian and other Person employed
to act hereunder.

                  The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers'
Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture,
which Officers' Certificate may be signed by any person specified as so
authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

Section 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any
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 within the meaning of the TIA it must eliminate such conflict within 90
days, apply (subject to the consent of the Company) to the Commission 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 7.4. Trustee's Disclaimer.

                  The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, or the 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 shall not be responsible for the use or
application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee,
and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any
statement in the Notes or

<PAGE>
                                      -93-

any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this
Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.5. Notice of Defaults.

                  If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of
Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in
payment on any Note (including the failure to make a mandatory repurchase
pursuant hereto), 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 7.6. Reports by Trustee to Holder of the Notes.

                  Within 60 days after each May 1 beginning with the May 1
following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain
outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report
dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no
event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also
shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail
all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).

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

Section 7.7. Compensation, Reimbursement and Indemnity.

                  The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and the rendering by it of the
services required hereunder as shall be agreed upon in writing by the Company
and the Trustee. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the
Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and
expenses incurred or made by or on behalf of it in addition to the compensation
for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation,
disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's attorneys, accountants, experts and
such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or
appropriate.

                  The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses,
including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the
income of the Trustee), incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture (including its
duties under Section 9.6 hereof), including the costs and expenses of enforcing

<PAGE>
                                      -94-

this Indenture or any Guarantee against the Company or a Guarantor (including
this Section 7.7) and defending itself against or investigating any claim
(whether asserted by the Company, any Guarantor, 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 willful misconduct. The Trustee shall
notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.
Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of
its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend any claim or threatened
claim asserted against the Trustee, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the
defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any
settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

                  The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.7 shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture and the termination of this Indenture.

                  To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section
7.7, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property
held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal,
Redemption Price or Purchase Price of or Additional Interest, if any, or
interest on, particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the
termination of this Indenture.

                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(f) or (g) 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.

Section 7.8. Replacement of Trustee.

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

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

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

<PAGE>
                                      -95-

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

                  (c) a custodian, receiver or public officer takes charge of
         the Trustee or its property for the purpose of rehabilitation,
         conversation or liquidation; or

                  (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

                  If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days
after the retiring trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the
Company, or the Holders of Notes of at least 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction, in the case
of the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

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

                  A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The Company shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holder of the Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property
held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the
Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section
7.7 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.8, the Company's obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.9. 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 that is eligible under Section 7.10 hereof, the successor
corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate, at any time,
elect to have either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof be applied to all outstanding
Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

Section 8.2. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Company shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be deemed to
have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes
on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal
Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to the "outstanding" only
for the purposes of Section 8.5 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in clauses (a) through (d) below, and to have satisfied all their
other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on
demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

<PAGE>
                                      -97-

                  (a) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of
         the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such
         payments are due;

                  (b) the Company's obligations with respect to the Notes
         concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated,
         destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or
         agency for payments;

                  (c) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the
         Trustee and the Company's obligations in connection therewith; and

                  (d) the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Article VIII.

                  Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may
exercise its option under this Section 8.2, notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.3 hereof.

Section 8.3. Covenant Defeasance.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.3, the Company shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be released from
its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.9, 3.10, 4.5, 4.7
through 4.12 and 4.14 through 4.23 hereof, both inclusive, and Section 5.1(2)
with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set
forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Notes
shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
"outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such
Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this
purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes,
the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of
any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether
directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document, and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1 hereof, but,
except as specified above the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall
be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section
8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, Sections 6.1(c)
through 6.1(h) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.4. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

                  The following are the conditions precedent to the application
of either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

<PAGE>
                                      -98-

                  In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance:

                  (1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in
         trust, for the benefit of the Holders cash in U.S. dollars,
         non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, 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 Notes on the stated date for
         payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may
         be;

                  (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have
         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 date of this Indenture, there has been
                  a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

         in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of
         Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders 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 Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have
         delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States
         reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders 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 an
         Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to fund the
         deposit referred to in clause (1) above);

                  (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not
         result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this
         Indenture (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from
         the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of
         any Lien securing such borrowings), the Credit Agreement or any other
         material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its
         Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
         Subsidiaries is bound;

<PAGE>
                                      -99-

                  (6) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
         Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any 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 shall have delivered 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.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required
by clause (2) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if
all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have
become due and payable or (2) will become due and payable on the maturity date
within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
Company.

Section 8.5. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations To Be Held in
             Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

                  Subject to Section 8.6 hereof, all money and U.S. Government
Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5 only,
the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding
Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (other than the Company) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in
respect of principal or Redemption Price of, and Additional Interest, if any,
interest on, the Notes, provided that such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

                  The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S.
Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 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.

                  Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the
request of the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as
provided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under

<PAGE>
                                     -100-

Section 8.4(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be
required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.

Section 8.6. Repayment to the Company.

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

Section 8.7. Reinstatement.

                  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United
States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 or
8.3 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order of judgment of any court
or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this
Indenture, and the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such
time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in
accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be; provided,
however, that, if the Company makes any payment with respect to any Note
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the
money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

                                   ARTICLE IX.

                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.1. Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

                  Notwithstanding Section 9.2 of this Indenture, the Company,
the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the
Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

<PAGE>
                                     -101-

                  (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency so long as
         such changes do not, in the opinion of the Trustee, adversely affect
         the rights of any of the Holders in any material respect.

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

                  (c) to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations
         to the Holders of the Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or
         sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets pursuant to
         Article V hereof;

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

                  (e) to add or release the Guarantees of Guarantors in
         compliance with this Indenture; or

                  (f) 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 Notes
         in any material respect.

                  Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a resolution
of the Board (evidenced by an Officers' Certificate) authorizing the execution
of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee
of the documents described in Section 7.2 hereof, the Trustee shall join with
the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized
or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall
not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that
affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
In formulating its opinion on such matters, the Trustee shall be entitled to
rely on such evidence as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation,
solely on an Opinion of Counsel.

Section 9.2. With Consent of Holders of Notes.

                  Except as provided below in this Section 9.2, the Company and
the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and the Notes may be amended
or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the
Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.2, 6.4 and 6.7 hereof, any existing Default
or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the
Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes).

<PAGE>
                                     -102-

                  Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or
waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

                  (2) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of
         changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted
         interest, on any Notes;

                  (3) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of
         changing the fixed maturity of any Notes, or change the date on which
         any Notes may be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price
         therefor, other than prior to the Company's obligation to purchase
         Notes under provisions relating to the Company's obligation to make and
         consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of
         Control or to make and consummate a Net Proceeds Offer with respect to
         any Asset Sale;

                  (4) make any Notes payable in money other than that stated in
         the Notes;

                  (5) make any change in provisions of this Indenture protecting
         the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and
         interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit
         to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in
         principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default;

                  (6) between the date on which a Change of Control or an Asset
         Sale giving rise to the Company's obligation to make a Net Proceeds
         Offer occurs and the date on which the payments are made with respect
         to the related Change of Control Offer or Net Proceeds Offer, as the
         case may be, amend, change or modify in any material respect (A) the
         obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control
         Offer in the event of a Change of Control or make and consummate a Net
         Proceeds Offer with respect to Asset Sales that have been consummated
         or (B) any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto;

                  (7) modify or change any provision of this Indenture or the
         related definitions affecting the ranking of the Notes or subordination
         of any Guarantee in a manner which adversely affects the Holders in any
         material respect; or

                  (8) release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary
         from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture
         otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

                  Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a
resolution of the Board (evidenced by an Officers' Certificate) authorizing the
execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing
with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the

<PAGE>
                                     -103-

Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by
the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee
shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental
indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which
case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into such amended or supplemental indenture.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of
Notes under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.

                  No amendment of, or supplement or waiver to, this Indenture
shall adversely affect the rights of the holders of any Guarantor Senior Debt
under Article X hereof (including any defined terms as used therein) without the
consent of each holder of Guarantor Senior Debt affected thereby.

                  After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section
9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or
supplemental Indenture or waiver.

Section 9.3. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 9.4. 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 therefore binds every Holder.

Section 9.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

                  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an
amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The
Company in exchange for all Notes

<PAGE>
                                     -104-

may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the
amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

Section 9.6. Trustee To Sign Amendment, Etc.

                  The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture
authorized pursuant to this Article IX 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
approves such amendment or supplemental indenture. In executing any amended or
supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to
the documents required by Sections 13.4 and 13.5 hereof, and, subject to Section
7.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the execution of such amended or
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, (ii) no
Event of Default shall occur as a result of the execution of such Officers'
Certificate or the delivery of such Opinion of Counsel and (iii) the amended or
supplemental indenture complies with the terms of this Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE X.

                         SUBORDINATION OF THE GUARANTEES

Section 10.1. Guarantees Subordinated to Guarantor Senior Debt.

                   Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the
Company and the Guarantors, for itself and its successors, and each Holder, by
his or her acceptance of Guarantees, agrees that the payment by the Guarantors
of all Obligations with respect to the Guarantees is subordinated in right of
payment to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all
Obligations on Guarantor Senior Debt (including all Obligations with respect to
the Credit Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments and distributions
made relating to the Guarantees pursuant to the trust described under Article
VIII hereof shall not be so subordinated in right of payment so long as the
payments into the trust were made in accordance with the requirements described
under Article VIII hereof and did not violate the subordination provisions when
they were made.

                   This Article X shall constitute a continuing offer to all
Persons who become holders of, or continue to hold, Guarantor Senior Debt, and
such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt
and such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may
enforce such provisions. Each such holder shall be deemed to have acquired such
Guarantor Senior Debt in reliance upon the covenants and provisions contained in
this Article X.

                                     -105-

Section 10.2. Suspension of Payment When Guarantor Senior Debt Is in Default.

                  (a) Unless Section 10.3 hereof shall be applicable, if any
default occurs and is continuing in the payment when due (and such default has
not been cured or waived), whether at maturity, upon any redemption, by
declaration or otherwise, of any principal of, premium (if any) or interest on,
unpaid drawings for letters of credit issued in respect of, unreimbursed
payments with respect to bank guarantees issued in respect of or regularly
accruing fees with respect to, any Guarantor Senior Debt (a "Payment Default"),
then no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on
behalf of any Guarantor or any other Person on its or their behalf with respect
to any Obligations on or relating to the Guarantees or to acquire any Notes for
cash or property or otherwise.

                  (b) Unless Section 10.3 hereof shall be applicable, if any
other event of default (other than a Payment Default) occurs and is continuing
with respect to any Guarantor Designated Senior Debt (as such event of default
is defined in the instrument creating or evidencing such Guarantor Designated
Senior Debt) permitting the holders of such Guarantor Designated Senior Debt
then outstanding to accelerate the maturity thereof (a "Non-payment Default")
and if the Representative for the respective issue of Guarantor Designated
Senior Debt gives notice of the event of default to the Trustee stating that
such notice is a payment blockage notice (a "Payment Blockage Notice"), then,
unless and until all events of default have been cured or waived or have ceased
to exist or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee written notice thereof from the Representative for the
respective issue of Guarantor Designated Senior Debt terminating the Payment
Blockage Period, during the 180 days after the delivery of such Payment Blockage
Notice (the "Payment Blockage Period"), neither any Guarantor nor any other
Person on its behalf shall (x) make any payment or distribution of any kind or
character with respect to any Obligations on or with respect to the Guarantees
or (y) acquire any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) in no event will a Payment
Blockage Period extend beyond 180 days from the date the applicable Payment
Blockage Notice is received by the Trustee and (y) no new Payment Blockage
Notice may be delivered unless and until 360 days have elapsed since the
effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice. For all purposes
of this Section 10.2(b), no event of default which existed or was continuing on
the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the
Guarantor Designated Senior Debt shall be, or be made, the basis for the
commencement of a second Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such
Guarantor Designated Senior Debt whether or not within a period of 360 days,
unless such event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not
less than 90 consecutive days (it being acknowledged that any subsequent action,
or any breach of any financial covenants for a period commencing after the date
of commencement of such Payment Blockage Period that, in either case, would give
rise to an event of default pursuant to any provisions under which an event of
default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a new event of
default for this purpose).

                  (c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
payment shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder when such payment is
prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, such payment shall
be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the
holders of Guarantor Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the
respective amount of Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective
Representatives, as their respective interests may appear. The Trustee shall be
entitled to rely on information regarding amounts then due and owing on the
Guarantor Senior Debt, if any, received from the holders of Guarantor Senior
Debt (or their Representatives) or, if such information is not received from
such holders or their Representatives, from the Company and only amounts
included in the information provided to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders
of Guarantor Senior Debt.

                  If payment of the Notes and Guarantees is accelerated because
of an Event of Default, the Guarantors or the Trustee shall promptly notify the
holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt or the Representative of such holders of
the acceleration; provided that any failure to give such notice shall have no
effect whatsoever on the subordination provisions contained herein. If any
Guarantor Senior Debt is outstanding, such acceleration will not be effective
until the time specified in Section 6.2.

                  Nothing contained in this Article X shall limit the right of
the Trustee or the Holders of Notes to take any action to accelerate the
maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.2 or to pursue any rights or
remedies hereunder (subject, however, to the rights, if any, under this Article
X, of the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt in respect of cash or other property
of a Guarantor received upon the exercise of any such remedy); provided that all
Guarantor Senior Debt thereafter due or declared to be due shall first be paid
in full in cash or Cash Equivalents before the Holders are entitled to receive
any payment of any kind or character with respect to Obligations on, or with
respect to, the Guarantees.

Section 10.3. Guarantees Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Guarantor Senior
              Debt on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of the
              Guarantors.

                  (a) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any
Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to
creditors upon any total or partial liquidation, dissolution, winding-up,
reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of assets
of any Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or
other similar proceeding relating to any Guarantor or its property, whether
voluntary or involuntary, all Obligations due or to become due upon all
Guarantor Senior Debt shall first be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents
(including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy or other like
proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Guarantor Senior Debt,
whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in any such proceeding), before
any payment or distribution of any kind or character is made on account of any
Obligations on or relating to the Guarantees, or for the acquisition of any of
the Notes for cash or property or

<PAGE>
                                     -107-

otherwise. Upon any such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization,
receivership or similar proceeding, any payment or distribution of assets of any
Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to
which the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee under this Indenture would be
entitled, except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid by the Guarantor or by
any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person
making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders or by the Trustee under
this Indenture if received by them, directly to the holders of Guarantor Senior
Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of
Guarantor Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives,
or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such
Guarantor Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may
appear, for application to the payment of Guarantor Senior Debt remaining unpaid
until all such Guarantor Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or Cash
Equivalents after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or
provision therefor to or for the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt.

                  (b) To the extent any payment of Guarantor Senior Debt
(whether by or on behalf of any Guarantor, as proceeds of security or
enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to any receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person under any
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar law,
then, if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, such receiver, trustee
in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person, the Guarantor
Senior Debt or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed
to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred. It is
further agreed that any diminution (whether pursuant to court decree or
otherwise, including without limitation for any of the reasons described in the
preceding paragraph) of any Guarantor's obligation to make any distribution or
payment pursuant to any Guarantor Senior Debt, except to the extent such
diminution occurs by reason of the repayment (which has not been disgorged or
returned) of such Guarantor Senior Debt in cash or Cash Equivalents, shall have
no force or effect for purposes of the subordination provisions contained in
this Article X, with any turnover of payments as otherwise calculated pursuant
to this Article X to be made as if no such diminution had occurred.

                  (c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the Trustee or any
Holder when such payment or distribution is prohibited by this Section 10.3,
such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt (pro
rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of Guarantor Senior
Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, or to the
trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Guarantor
Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for
application to the payment of Guarantor Senior Debt remaining unpaid until all
such Guarantor Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or Cash

<PAGE>
                                     -108-

Equivalents, after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or
provision therefor to or for the holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt.

                  (d) The consolidation of any Guarantor with, or the merger of
any Guarantor with or into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of
any Guarantor following the conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all
of its assets, to another Person upon the terms and conditions provided in
Article V hereof and as long as permitted under the terms of the Guarantor
Senior Debt shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or
reorganization for the purposes of this Section 10.3 if such other Person shall,
as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, assume the
Guarantor's obligations hereunder in accordance with Article V hereof.

Section 10.4. Payments May Be Paid Prior to Dissolution.

                  Nothing contained in this Article X or elsewhere in this
Indenture shall prevent (i) the Guarantors, except under the conditions
described in Sections 10.2 and 10.3, from making payments at any time for the
purpose of making payments of principal of and interest on the Notes, or from
depositing with the Trustee any moneys for such payments, or (ii) in the absence
of actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that a given payment
would be prohibited by Section 10.2 or 10.3, the application by the Trustee of
any moneys deposited with it for the purpose of making such payments of
principal of, and interest on, the Notes to the Holders entitled thereto unless
at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which such payment would
otherwise become due and payable a Responsible Officer shall have actually
received the written notice provided for in the first sentence of Section
10.2(b) or in Section 10.7 or in the last sentence of this Section 10.4
(provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the subordination of the
Guarantees to Guarantor Senior Debt shall not be affected and the Holders
receiving any payments made in contravention of Section 10.2 and/or 10.3 (and
the respective such payments) shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of
this Article X). The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of any Guarantor,
although any delay or failure to give any such notice shall have no effect on
the subordination provisions contained herein.

Section 10.5. Holders To Be Subrogated to Rights of Holders of Guarantor Senior
              Debt.

                  Subject to the payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of
all Guarantor Senior Debt, the Holders of the Guarantees shall be subrogated to
the rights of the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt to receive payments or
distributions of cash, property or securities of any Guarantor applicable to the
Guarantor Senior Debt until the Notes shall be paid in full; and, for the
purposes of such subrogation, no such payments or distributions to the holders
of the Guarantor Senior Debt by or on behalf of any Guarantor, or by or on
behalf of the Holders by virtue of this Article X, which otherwise would have
been made to the Holders shall, as between any Guarantor and the Holders, be
deemed to be a payment by any Guarantor to or on account of the Guarantor Senior
Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this

<PAGE>
                                     -109-

Article X are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative
rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Guarantor Senior
Debt, on the other hand.

Section 10.6. Obligations of Guarantors Unconditional.

                  Nothing contained in this Article X or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in the Guarantees is intended to or shall impair, as among the
Guarantors, its creditors other than the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, and
the Holders, the obligation of the Guarantors, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of and any interest on the
Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their
terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and
creditors of the Guarantors other than the holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt,
nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Holder of any Guarantee or the
Trustee on its behalf from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any,
in respect of cash, property or securities of any Guarantor received upon the
exercise of any such remedy.

Section 10.7. Notice to Trustee.

                  The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to
or by the Trustee in respect of the Guarantees pursuant to the provisions of
this Article X, although any delay or failure to give any such notice shall have
no effect on the subordination provisions contained herein. Regardless of
anything to the contrary contained in this Article X or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of
any default or event of default with respect to any Guarantor Senior Debt or of
any other facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the
Trustee unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee notice in writing from the
Company or from a holder of Guarantor Senior Debt or a Representative therefor
and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be
entitled to assume that no such facts exist (provided that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Holders of the Guarantees receiving any payments made in
contravention of Section 10.2 and/or 10.3 hereof (and the respective such
payments) shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of this Article X). The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of any notice pursuant
to this Section 10.7 to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of
Guarantor Senior Debt (or a Representative thereof).

                  In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that
any evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of
Guarantor Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to
this Article X, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amounts of Guarantor Senior
Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the
rights of such

<PAGE>
                                     -110-

Person under this Article X, and if such evidence is not furnished the Trustee
may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the
right of such Person to receive such payment.

Section 10.8. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

                  Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor
referred to in this Article X, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article
VII hereof, and the Holders of the Guarantees shall be entitled to rely upon any
order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any
insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation,
reorganization or similar case or proceeding is pending, or upon a certificate
of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, assignee for the
benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee or the Holders of the Guarantees, for the purpose of
ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of
the Guarantors, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts
paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
Article X.

Section 10.9. Trustee's Relation to Guarantor Senior Debt.

                  The Trustee and any agent of the Guarantors or the Trustee
shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article X with respect to
any Guarantor Senior Debt which may at any time be held by it in its individual
or any other capacity to the same extent as any other holder of Guarantor Senior
Debt and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or any such agent
of any of its rights as such holder.

                  With respect to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, the
Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article X, and no implied
covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be
deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt.

                  Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to
holders or owners of Guarantor Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the
notice may be given to their Representative, if any.

Section 10.10. Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of the
               Guarantors or Holders of Guarantor Senior Debt.

                  No right of any present or future holders of any Guarantor
Senior Debt to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any
way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the
Guarantors or by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or by any
noncompliance by the Guarantors with the terms of this Indenture,

<PAGE>
                                     -111-

regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise
be charged with.

                  Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing
paragraph, the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt may, at any time and from time
to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the
Guarantees, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders of
the Guarantees and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in
this Article X or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Guarantees to
the holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following:
(i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment
of, or renew or alter, Guarantor Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement
in any manner Guarantor Senior Debt, or any instrument evidencing the same or
any agreement under which Guarantor Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell,
exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing Guarantor Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any
manner for the payment or collection of Guarantor Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise
or refrain from exercising any rights against the Guarantors and any other
Person.

Section 10.11. Securityholders Authorize Trustee To Effectuate Subordination of
               Guarantees.

                  Each Holder of Guarantees by its acceptance of them authorizes
and expressly directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the holders of Guarantor
Senior Debt and the Holders of Guarantees, the subordination provided in this
Article X, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purposes,
including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or
reorganization of any Guarantor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for
the benefit of credits or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business
and assets of any Guarantor, the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of its
Guarantees and accrued interest in the form required in those proceedings.

                  If the Trustee does not file a proper claim or proof of debt
in the form required in such proceeding prior to 30 days before the expiration
of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of the Guarantor
Senior Debt or their Representative are or is hereby authorized to have the
right to file and are or is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for
and on behalf of the Holders of said Guarantees. Nothing herein contained shall
be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt or
their Representative to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Guarantees or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize
the Trustee or the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt or their Representative to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 10.12. This Article X Not To Prevent Events of Default.

                  The failure to make a payment on account of principal of or
interest on the Notes by reason of any provision of this Article X will not be
construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.

Section 10.13. Trustee's Compensation Not Prejudiced.

                  Nothing in this Article X will apply to amounts due to the
Trustee pursuant to other sections of this Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE XI.

                                    GUARANTEE

Section 11.1. Unconditional Guarantee.

                   Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees (such
guarantee to be referred to herein as a "Guarantee"), on a senior subordinated
basis jointly and severally, 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 interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due,
subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any
interest, to the extent lawful, of the Notes 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 (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or
of any such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due
or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject
to any applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the
limitations set forth in Section 11.3. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its
obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any
action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes
with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment
against the Company, and 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 covenants that this Guarantee
will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations
contained in the Notes, this Indenture and in this Guarantee. If any Holder or
the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any
Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official
acting in

<PAGE>
                                     -113-

relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any
Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent
theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, 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 VI for
the purposes of this 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 acceleration of such obligations
as provided in Article VI, such obligations (whether or not due and payable)
shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this
Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor to the Holders of the Guarantees
and to the Trustee pursuant to the Guarantee of such Guarantor and this
Indenture are expressly subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior
payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Guarantor Senior Debt of such
Guarantor, to the extent and in the manner provided in Article X hereof.

Section 11.2. Severability.

                   In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 11.3. Limitation of Guarantor's Liability.

                   Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee
by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer
or conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or
state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such Guarantor
hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under the
Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to
all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without
limitation, all Guarantor Senior Debt of such Guarantor) and after giving effect
to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor
in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee,
result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting
such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.4. Release of Guarantor.

                  (a) The Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically and
unconditionally released without any action on the part of the Trustee or the
Holders of the Notes: (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including, without
limitation, by way of merger or consolidation), if the Company applies the Net
Cash Proceeds of that sale or other disposition in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Indenture; (2) in the event all of the Capital
Stock of a

<PAGE>
                                     -114-

Guarantor is sold by the Company in compliance with clauses (1) and (2) of
Section 4.10(A) hereof, if the Company applies the Net Cash Proceeds of that
sale in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; (3) if the
Company designates a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Indenture; or (4) upon the payment in full of the Notes.

                   In addition, concurrently with any Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance, the Guarantors shall be released from all of their
Obligations under their respective applicable Guarantees.

                  (b) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument
evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by
an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance
with this Section 11.4.

Section 11.5. Immediate Payment.

                   Each Guarantor agrees to make immediate payment to the
Trustee on behalf of the Holders of all Obligations due and owing or payable to
the respective Holders upon receipt of a demand for payment therefor by the
Trustee to such Guarantor in writing.

Section 11.6. Waiver of Subrogation.

                   Until all Obligations are paid in full, each Guarantor hereby
irrevocably waives any claims or other rights which it may now or hereafter
acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance
or enforcement of such Guarantor's obligations under the Guarantee and this
Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any
claim or remedy of any Holder against the Company, whether or not such claim,
remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law,
including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company,
directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other
manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any
amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and
the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed
to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for
the benefit of, the Holders, and shall, subject to the provisions of Article X
hereof, forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be
credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will
receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section
11.6 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

                                     -115-

Section 11.7. Execution of Guarantee.

                   To evidence their guarantee to the Holders set forth in this
Article XI, the Guarantors hereby agree to execute the Guarantee in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, which shall be endorsed on
each Note ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this Article XI shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each
Note a notation of such Guarantee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf
of each Guarantor by one of its authorized Officers prior to the authentication
of the Note on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Note by the
Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due
delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor. Such signatures upon the
Guarantee may be by manual or facsimile signature of such officers and may be
imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case any such officer
who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such officer before the
Note on which such Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Note nevertheless
may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who
signed the Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer of the Guarantor.

Section 11.8. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

                   Each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law
or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive each such Guarantor
from performing its Guarantee as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or
at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
each such Guarantor 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.

                          (a) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and

        replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.7 and Notes for whose payment
        money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in

        for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) will become due

        the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at
        the expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited
        or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient
        to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not
        theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of,
        premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of maturity or
        redemption, as the case may be, together with irrevocable instructions
        from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the
        payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

                  (2) the Company has paid all other sums payable under this
         Indenture by the Company; and

                  (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an officers'
         certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions
         precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and
         discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

                  Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, the Company's obligations in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.11, 7.7,
7.8, 13.2, 13.3 and 13.4, and the Trustee's and Paying Agent's obligations in
Section 12.2 shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding.
Thereafter, only the Company's obligations in Section 7.7 shall survive.

Section 12.2. Application of Trust.

                   All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.1
shall be held in trust and, at the written direction of the Company, be invested
prior to maturity in U.S. Government Obligations, and applied by the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the
Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest
for the payment of which money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.

provision of the TIA or another provision that would be required or deemed under

thereto, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture
modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA that may be so modified or
excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so
modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

                   (a) an Officers' Certificate in form and substance reasonably
         satisfactory to the Trustee stating that, in the opinion of the
         signers, all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for
         in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been satisfied;
         and

                   (b) an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably
         satisfactory to the Trustee stating that, in the opinion of such
         counsel, all such conditions precedent and covenants have been
         satisfied.

Section 13.5.      Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion.

                   Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than a certificate
provided pursuant to TIA Section 314(a)(4)) shall comply with the provisions of
TIA Section 314(e) and shall include:

                   (a) a statement that the Person making such certificate or
         opinion has read such covenant or condition;

                   (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the

         covenant or condition has been satisfied; and

                   (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such

set reasonable requirements for its functions.

Section 13.7.      No Personal Liability of Directors,
                   Officers, Employees and Stockholders.

                   No past, present or future director, officer, employee,
incorporator, agent, stockholder or Affiliate of the Company, as such, shall
have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or this
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. No past, present or future director, officer,
employee, incorporator, agent, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the

Guarantors under the Guarantees or this Indenture
<PAGE>

                                     -120-

or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or
their creation. Each Holder of Notes and Guarantees by accepting a Note and a
Guarantee waives and releases all such liabilities. The waiver and release are
part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees. Such
waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities
law and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public
policy.

Section 13.8.      Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction;
                   Waiver of Jury Trial.

                   THIS INDENTURE, THE GUARANTEES AND THE NOTES SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE
EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED
THEREBY. THE COMPANY AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN
THE CITY OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN
THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE GUARANTEES AND THE NOTES, AND IRREVOCABLY
ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. THE COMPANY AND EACH
GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO
SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING
HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE TRUSTEE OR ANY HOLDER OF THE NOTES TO SERVE
PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR
OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE COMPANY OR ANY GUARANTOR IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.

Section 13.9.      No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

                   This Indenture may not be used to interpret any other
indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Company or its Subsidiaries or of any
other Person. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to
interpret this Indenture.

Notes shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture
shall bind its successors.

                   In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.

Section 13.12.     Counterpart Originals.

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

Section 13.13.     Table of Contents, Headings, Etc.

                   The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table and Headings of
the Articles and Sections of this Indenture, which have been inserted for
convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Indenture
and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

                                 (Back of Note)

                          7-1/4% Senior Notes due 2010

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

                  1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at the rate of 7-1/4% per annum from the date of
original issuance until maturity and shall pay the Additional Interest pursuant
to Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred below. The Company
will pay interest and Additional Interest semi-annually on June 15 and December
15 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 Note
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 with
respect to a Note issued on the Issue Date shall be December 15, 2003. The
Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue payments of the principal, Purchase Price
and Redemption Price of this Note from time to time on demand at a rate that is
1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, (without
regard to any applicable grace periods) hereon 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) and Additional Interest, if any, to the
Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on June 1
and December 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are
canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date,
except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest. Any such installment of interest or Additional Interest, if any, not
punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered Holders on such Interest Payment Date, and may be paid to the
registered Holders at the close of business on a special interest payment date
to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice
whereof shall be given to the registered Holders not less than 10 days prior to
such special interest payment date, or may be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The Notes will be
payable as to principal, Redemption Price,

                                      A-5
<PAGE>

Purchase Price, interest and Additional Interest, if any, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds. Such payment shall 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, Wells Fargo 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 may act in any such capacity.

                  4. Indenture and Guarantees. The Company issued $400 million
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes under an Indenture dated as of May
29, 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.C. 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. The Notes are general obligations of the Company. Payment on each Note is
guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis, jointly and severally, by the
Guarantors pursuant to Article XI of the Indenture.

                  The Guarantee of any Guarantor is subordinated in right of
payment, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, to the
prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Guarantor Senior Debt
of such Guarantor, whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or
thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed. Each Holder by his
acceptance hereof agrees to be bound by such provisions and authorizes and
expressly directs the Trustee, on his behalf, to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided for in the
Indenture and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purposes.

                  5. Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem any or all of
the Notes at any time on or after June 15, 2007, upon not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days' prior notice in amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof
at the Redemption Prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) set
forth below, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning June 15 of the
years indicated below:

Year                                                               Price

in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest,
if any, to the Redemption Date.

                                      A-6
<PAGE>

                  If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee
will select the particular Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed by lot, pro
rata or by any other method the Trustee shall deem fair and reasonable.

                  6. Optional Redemption Upon Equity Offerings. In the event the
Company completes one or more Equity Offerings on or before June 15, 2006, the
Company, at its option, may use the net cash proceeds from any such Equity
Offering to redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes (a
"Special Redemption") at a Redemption Price of 107.250% of the principal amount,
together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest (if any), to
the date of redemption, provided, however, that at least 65% of the original
principal amount of the Notes initially issued under the Indenture will remain
outstanding immediately after each such redemption; and provided, further, that
each such redemption shall occur within 90 days after the date of the closing of
the applicable Equity Offering. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed,
the Trustee will select the particular Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed
by lot, only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is
practicable (subject to DTC procedures).

                  7. Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in Paragraph 9
below with respect to repurchases of Notes in certain events, the Company shall
not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

                  8. Notice of Redemption. Subject to the provisions of the
Indenture, a 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. Repurchase at Option of Holder.

                  (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company shall 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 principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in the Indenture, within 30 days following any Change
of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the
procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

(b) Pending the final application of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may
temporarily reduce borrowings under the Credit Agreement or any other revolving
credit facility, if any. On the 366th day after an Asset Sale or such earlier
date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such Restricted
Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net

                                      A-7
<PAGE>

Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (3)(a), (3)(b)
and (3)(c) of paragraph (A) of Section 4.10 of the Indenture, or, in the event
that a definitive agreement has been entered into prior to such 366th day
pursuant to which the Net Cash Proceeds are to be applied on the later of the
366th day and the 121st day after the execution of such agreement (each, a "Net
Proceeds Offer Trigger Date"), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which
have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as
permitted in clauses (3)(a), (3)(b) and (3)(c) of paragraph (A) of Section 4.10
of the Indenture (each, a "Net Proceeds Offer Amount") shall be applied by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the "Net
Proceeds Offer") to all Holders and, to the extent required by the terms of any
Pari Passu Debt, an offer to purchase to all holders of such Pari Passu Debt, on
a date (the "Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date") not less the 30 nor more then 60
days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders
(and holders of any such Pari Passu Debt) on a pro rata basis, that amount of
Notes (and Pari Passu Debt) equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (and Pari Passu Debt) to be
purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of
purchase; provided, however, that if at any time any non-cash consideration
received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case
may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise
disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such
non-cash consideration), then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to
constitute an Asset Sale hereunder as of the date of such conversion or
disposition and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance
with this covenant. Each Net Proceeds Offer will be mailed to the record Holders
as shown on the register of Holders within 25 days following the Net Proceeds
Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply with the
procedures set forth in the Indenture. Upon receiving notice of the Net Proceeds
Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part in integral
multiples of $1,000 in exchange for cash. To the extent Holders properly tender
Notes and holders of Pari Passu Debt properly tender such Indebtedness in an
amount exceeding the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the tendered Notes and Pari
Passu Debt will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on aggregate amounts of
Notes and Pari Passu Debt tendered (and the Trustee shall select the tendered
Notes of tendering Holders on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Notes
tendered). A Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 business
days or such longer period as may be required by law. If any Net Cash Proceeds
remain after the consummation of any Net Proceeds Offer, the Company may use
those Net Cash Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the
Indenture. Upon completion of each Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer
Amount will be reset at zero.

                  10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes

                                      A-8
<PAGE>

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, it 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.

                  11. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may
be treated as its owner for all purposes.

                  12. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture and 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 any existing default or compliance with any provision of
the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent
of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture and 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 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 in any
material respect, or to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order
to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust
Indenture Act.

                  13. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (1) the
failure to pay interest on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable and
the default continues for a period of 30 days (whether or not such payment shall
be prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture); (2) the failure
to pay the principal of any Notes when such principal becomes due and payable,
at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a
payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a
Net Proceeds Offer) (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the
subordination provisions of the Indenture); (3) a default in the observance or
performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture which
default continues for a period of 45 days after the Company receives written
notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount
of the Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.1 of the
Indenture, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice
requirement but without such passage of time requirement); (4) the failure to
pay at final maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any
extensions thereof) the stated principal amount of any Indebtedness of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or the acceleration of the
final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness (which acceleration is not
rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 30 days of receipt by the Company

                                      A-9
<PAGE>

or such Restricted subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration) if the
aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal
amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at
final stated maturity or which has been accelerated (in each case with respect
to which the 30-day period described above has elapsed), aggregated $25.0
million or more at any time; provided that if such failure to pay shall be
remedied, waived or extended within 30 days of receipt by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary of notice of such acceleration, then any Default or Event
of Default hereunder shall be deemed likewise to be remedied, waived or extended
without further action by the Company; (5) one or more judgments in an aggregate
amount in excess of $25.0 million shall have been rendered against the Company
or any of is Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged,
unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments
become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the rendering of any
such judgment(s) shall not be an Event of Default under this clause (5) unless
(i) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries which are subject to the order,
as of the date of the issuance of such judgment(s), have at least $25.0 million
in net assets located in such court's jurisdiction or (ii) a final and
non-appealable order enforcing such judgment(s) is entered by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a jurisdiction where the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries subject to the order, as of the date of the entry of such order of
enforcement, have at least $25.0 million in net assets located in such
jurisdiction; (6) certain events of bankruptcy affecting the Company or any of
its Significant Subsidiaries; or (7) any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary
ceases to be in full force and effect or any Guarantee of a Significant
Subsidiary is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any Guarantee of
a Significant Subsidiary is found to be invalid or any Guarantor that is a
Significant Subsidiary denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by
reason of release of such Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture). 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 immediately. Upon any such
declaration, the entire principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes shall become immediately 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
payment on any Note) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive
any existing or past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture, and its
consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or interest
on any Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a
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 statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

<PAGE>

                  14. Trustee Dealings with Company. Subject to certain
limitations, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become owner or pledge of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its Affiliates as if it were not Trustee.

                  15. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future
director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as
such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the
Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason
of, such obligations or their creation. 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.

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

                  17. 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 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).

                  18. Discharge Prior to Maturity. If the Company deposits with
the Trustee or Paying Agent cash or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to
pay the principal or Redemption Price of, and interest and Additional Interest,
if any, on, the Notes to maturity or a specified Redemption Date and satisfies
certain conditions specified in the Indenture, the Company will be discharged
from the Indenture, except for certain Sections thereof.

                  19. Governing Law. The Indenture and Guarantees and this Note
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York but without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law
to the extent that the application of the law of another jurisdiction would be
required thereby. Each of the Company and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably
submits to the jurisdiction of any New York state court sitting in the Borough
of Manhattan in the City of New York or any Federal court sitting in the Borough
of Manhattan in the City of New York in respect of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture and the Notes, and
irrevocably accept for itself and in respect of its property, generally and
unconditionally, jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the Company and
each Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively
do so under applicable law, trial by jury and any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing
herein shall affect the right of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or
otherwise proceed against the Company or any Guarantor in any other
jurisdiction.

<PAGE>

                  20. 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 correctness or accuracy of such numbers either as printed on
the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or repurchase and reliance
may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

                  21. Registration Rights. Pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company will be obligated upon the occurrence of certain events

                                 (Back of Note)

                          7-1/4% Senior Notes due 2010

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

                  1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at the rate of 7-1/4% per annum from the date of
original issuance until maturity. The Company will pay interest and Additional
Interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 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 Note 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 with respect to a Note issued on the Issue Date
shall be December 15, 2003. The Company shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
payments of the principal, Purchase Price and Redemption Price of this Note from
time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then
in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and
Additional Interest, if any, (without regard to any applicable grace periods)
hereon 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) and Additional Interest, if any, to the
Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on June 1
and December 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are
canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date,
except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest. Any such installment of interest or Additional Interest, if any, not
punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered Holders on such Interest Payment Date, and may be paid to the
registered Holders at the close of business on a special interest payment date
to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice
whereof shall be given to the registered Holders not less than 10 days prior to
such special interest payment date, or may be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The Notes will be
payable as to principal, Redemption Price, Purchase Price, interest and
Additional Interest, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
Such payment shall 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.

                                      B-4

                  3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo 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 may act in any such capacity.

                  4. Indenture and Guarantees. The Company issued $400 million
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes under an Indenture dated as of May
29, 2003 (the "Indenture") amount 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.C. 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. The Notes are general obligations of the Company. Payment on each Note is
guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis, jointly and severally, by the
Guarantors pursuant to Article XI of the Indenture.

                  The Guarantee of any Guarantor is subordinated in right of
payment, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, to the
prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Guarantor Senior Debt
of such Guarantor, whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or
thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed. Each Holder by his
acceptance hereof agrees to be bound by such provisions and authorizes and
expressly directs the Trustee, on his behalf, to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided for in the
Indenture and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purposes.

                  5. Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem any or all of
the Notes at any time on or after June 15, 2007, upon not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days' prior notice in amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof
at the Redemption Prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) set
forth below, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning January 1 of the
years indicated below:

                                                                      Redemption
Year                                                                     Price
----                                                                  ----------
<S>                                                                   <C>

2009 and thereafter ............................                        100.000%
</Table>

in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest,
if any, to the Redemption Date.

                  If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee
will select the particular Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed by lot, pro
rata or by any other method the Trustee shall deem fair and reasonable.

                                      B-5
<PAGE>

                  6. Optional Redemption Upon Equity Offerings. In the event the
Company completes one or more Equity Offerings on or before June 15, 2006, the
Company, at its option, may use the net cash proceeds from any such Equity
Offering to redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes (a
"Special Redemption") at a Redemption Price of 107.250% of the principal amount,
together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest (if any), to
the date of redemption, provided, however, that at least 65% of the original
principal amount of the Notes initially issued under the Indenture will remain
outstanding immediately after each such redemption; and provided, further, that
each such redemption shall occur within 90 days after the date of the closing of
the applicable Equity Offering. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed,
the Trustee will select the particular Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed
by lot, only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is
practicable (subject to DTC procedures).

                  7. Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in Paragraph 9
below with respect to repurchases of Notes in certain events, the Company shall
not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

                  8. Notice of Redemption. Subject to the provisions of the
Indenture, a 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. Repurchase at Option of Holder.

                  (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company shall 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 principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in the Indenture, within 30 days following any Change
of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the
procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

                  (b) Pending the final application of such Net Cash Proceeds,
the Company may temporarily reduce borrowings under the Credit Agreement or any
other revolving credit facility, if any. On the 366th day after an Asset Sale or
such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such
Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to
such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (3)(a), (3)(b) and (3)(c) of paragraph
(A) of Section 4.10 of the Indenture, or, in the event that a definitive
agreement has been entered into prior to such 366th day pursuant to which the
Net Cash Proceeds are to be applied on the later of the 366th day and the 121st
day after the execution of such agreement

                                      B-6
<PAGE>

(each, a "Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date"), such aggregate amount of Net Cash
Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer
Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (3)(a), (3)(b) and (3)(c) of paragraph (A)
of Section 4.10 of the Indenture (each, a "Net Proceeds Offer Amount") shall be
applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to
purchase (the "Net Proceeds Offer") to all Holders and, to the extent required
by the terms of any Pari Passu Debt, an offer to purchase to all holders of such
Pari Passu Debt, on a date (the "Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date") not less the
30 nor more then 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger
Date, from all Holders (and holders of any such Pari Passu Debt) on a pro rata
basis, that amount of Notes (and Pari Passu Debt) equal to the Net Proceeds
Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (and
Pari Passu Debt) to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if
any, to the date of purchase; provided, however, that if at any time any
non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted
into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received
with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or
disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder as of the date
of such conversion or disposition and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be
applied in accordance with this covenant. Each Net Proceeds Offer will be mailed
to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 25 days
following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and
shall comply with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Upon receiving
notice of the Net Proceeds Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in
whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 in exchange for cash. To the
extent Holders properly tender Notes and holders of Pari Passu Debt properly
tender such Indebtedness in an amount exceeding the Net Proceeds Offer Amount,
the tendered Notes and Pari Passu Debt will be purchased on a pro rata basis
based on aggregate amounts of Notes and Pari Passu Debt tendered (and the
Trustee shall select the tendered Notes of tendering Holders on a pro rata basis
based on the amount of Notes tendered). A Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open
for a period of 20 business days or such longer period as may be required by
law. If any Net Cash Proceeds remain after the consummation of any Net Proceeds
Offer, the Company may use those Net Cash Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by the Indenture. Upon completion of each Net Proceeds Offer, the Net
Proceeds Offer Amount will be reset at zero.

                  10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and
fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company 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, it need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a
period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be

                                      B-7
<PAGE>

redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding
Interest Payment Date.

                  11. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may
be treated as its owner for all purposes.

                  12. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture and 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 any existing default or compliance with any provision of
the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent
of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture and 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 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 in any
material respect, or to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order
to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust
Indenture Act.

                  13. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (1) the
failure to pay interest on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable and
the default continues for a period of 30 days (whether or not such payment shall
be prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture); (2) the failure
to pay the principal of any Notes when such principal becomes due and payable,
at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a
payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a
Net Proceeds Offer) (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the
subordination provisions of the Indenture); (3) a default in the observance or
performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture which
default continues for a period of 45 days after the Company receives written
notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount
of the Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.1 of the
Indenture, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice
requirement but without such passage of time requirement); (4) the failure to
pay at final maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any
extensions thereof) the stated principal amount of any Indebtedness of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or the acceleration of the
final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness (which acceleration is not
rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 30 days of receipt by the Company
or such Restricted subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration) if the
aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal
amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at
final stated maturity or which has been accelerated (in each case with respect
to which the 30-day period described above has elapsed), aggregated $25.0
million or more at any time; provided that if such failure to pay shall be
remedied, waived or

                                      B-8
<PAGE>

extended within 30 days of receipt by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
of notice of such acceleration, then any Default or Event of Default hereunder
shall be deemed likewise to be remedied, waived or extended without further
action by the Company; (5) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in
excess of $25.0 million shall have been rendered against the Company or any of
is Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or
unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final
and non-appealable; provided, however, that the rendering of any such
judgment(s) shall not be an Event of Default under this clause (5) unless (i)
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries which are subject to the order, as
of the date of the issuance of such judgment(s), have at least $25.0 million in
net assets located in such court's jurisdiction or (ii) a final and
non-appealable order enforcing such judgment(s) is entered by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a jurisdiction where the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries subject to the order, as of the date of the entry of such order of
enforcement, have at least $25.0 million in net assets located in such
jurisdiction; (6) certain events of bankruptcy affecting the Company or any of
its Significant Subsidiaries; or (7) any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary
ceases to be in full force and effect or any Guarantee of a Significant
Subsidiary is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any Guarantee of
a Significant Subsidiary is found to be invalid or any Guarantor that is a
Significant Subsidiary denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by
reason of release of such Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture). 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 immediately. Upon any such
declaration, the entire principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes shall become immediately 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
payment on any Note) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive
any existing or past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture, and its
consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or interest
on any Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a
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 statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

                  14. Trustee Dealings with Company. Subject to certain
limitations, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become owner or pledge of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its Affiliates as if it were not Trustee.

director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as
such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the
Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason
of, such obligations or their creation. 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.

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

Dear Sirs:

                  In connection with our proposed purchase of Notes of the
Company, we confirm that:

                  1. We understand that any subsequent transfer of the Notes is
subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Indenture dated
as of May 29, 2003 relating to the Notes (the "Indenture") and the undersigned
agrees to be bound by, and not to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes
except in compliance with, such restrictions and conditions and the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

                  2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law, and that the Notes
may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except as permitted in the
following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts
for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should offer, sell,
transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Notes within two years
after the original issuance of the Notes, we will do so only (A) to the Company
or any Subsidiary thereof, (B) inside the United States to a "qualified
institutional buyer" in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (C)
inside the United States to an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined
below) that, prior to such transfer, furnishes to you a signed letter
substantially in the form of this letter, (D) outside the United States to a
foreign person in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities
Act, (E) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under
the Securities Act (if available) (F) in accordance with another exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities, or (G) pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, and we further

<PAGE>

agree to provide to any person purchasing any of the Notes from us a notice
advising such purchaser that resales of the Notes are restricted as stated
herein and in the Indenture.

                  3. We understand that, on any proposed transfer of any Notes
prior to the later of the original issue date of the Notes and the last date the
Notes were held by an affiliate of the Company pursuant to paragraphs 2(C), 2(D)
and 2(E) above, we will be required to furnish to you and the Company such
certifications, legal opinions and other information as you and the Company may
reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer complies with the
foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Notes purchased by us
will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.

                  4. We are an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined
in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) and have such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any
accounts for which we are acting are acquiring the Notes for investment purposes

Dear Sirs:

         United States;

                  (2) at the time the buy order was originated, the transferee
         was outside the United States or we and any person acting on our behalf
         reasonably believed that the transferee was outside the United States;

                  (3) no directed selling efforts have been made by us in the
         United States in contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(b) or
         Rule 904(b) of Regulation S, as applicable; and

                  (4) the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade
         the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933.
