and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of
such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal
of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest, Additional
Interest, if any on such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the
Company, any Paying Agent, the Registrar, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Company, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon
his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid,
effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any
Note.

               SECTION 2.05. PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST. Not later than
12:00 noon (New York Time) one Business Day prior to each due date of the
principal and interest on any Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Paying
Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal and
interest so becoming due on the due date for payment under the Notes. The
Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in
writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the
Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it
by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and such Paying Agent shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor
on the Notes) in making any such payment. Money held in trust by any Paying
Agent need not be segregated except as required by law and in no event shall any
Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received by it hereunder.

                                      -11-
<Page>

The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it
to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any
time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a
Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the
Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent
shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee.

               SECTION 2.06. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. Where Notes of a series are
presented to the Transfer Agent with a request to register denominations of the
same series, the Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange
if its requirements for such transactions are met.

               The Transfer Agent may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient
to cover any taxes imposed on a transfer or exchange.

               SECTION 2.07. REPLACEMENT NOTES. If a mutilated Note is
surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder claims that the Note has been
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and amount and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided that the requirements of
this Section 2.07 are met. An indemnity bond must be furnished that is
sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Company to protect the
Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer
if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its expenses
and the expenses of the Trustee in replacing a Note. In case any such
mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Note
instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

               Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company
and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

               SECTION 2.08. OUTSTANDING NOTES. Notes outstanding at any time
are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those
canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant
to Section 2.07 and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.

               If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be
outstanding unless and until the Trustee and the Company receive proof
satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

               If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of
the Company) holds on any redemption date, the maturity date or any date of
repurchase money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after
that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to
accrue.

                                      -12-
<Page>

               A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or
one of its Affiliates holds such Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in determining
whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes
have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
waiver hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes
or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded
and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes that a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or has received written
notice to be so owned shall be so disregarded. The Company shall notify the
Trustee when it, any obligor or any of their respective Affiliates acquires any
Notes. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as
outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the
pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not
the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company
or of such other obligor.

               SECTION 2.09. GLOBAL NOTES. If a Securities Resolution so
provides, the Company may issue some or all of the Notes of a series in
temporary or permanent global form. A global Note may be in registered form or
in uncertificated form. A global Note shall represent that amount of Notes of a
series as specified in the global Note or as endorsed thereon from time to time.
At the Company's request, the Registrar shall endorse a global Security to
reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the Notes represented thereby.

               The Company may issue a global Note only to a depository
designated by the Company. A depository may transfer a global Note only as a
whole to its nominee or to a successor depository.

               The Notes Resolution may establish, among other things, the
manner of paying principal and interest on a global Note and whether and upon
what terms a beneficial owner of an interest in a global Note may exchange such
interest for definitive Notes.

               The Company, an Affiliate, the Trustee and any Agent shall not be
responsible for any acts or omissions of a depository, for any depository
records of beneficial ownership interests or for any transactions between the
depository and beneficial owners.

               SECTION 2.10. TEMPORARY NOTES. Until definitive permanent Notes
are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form
of definitive permanent Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions
and other variations determined to be appropriate by the officers executing the
temporary Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Notes. If
temporary Notes are issued, the Company shall cause definitive permanent notes
to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
permanent Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive
permanent Notes upon surrender of

                                      -13-
<Page>

the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for such
purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender
for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of definitive permanent Notes of authorized
denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive permanent Notes.

               SECTION 2.11. CANCELLATION. The Company at any time may deliver
to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The Registrar and the
Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for
transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered
for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its normal
procedure.

               SECTION 2.12. DEFAULTED INTEREST. If the Company defaults on a
payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay, or shall deposit with the Paying
Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the defaulted
interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted
interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. A
special record date, as used in this Section 2.12 with respect to the payment of
any defaulted interest, shall mean the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by
the Company for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a
Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the
Company shall mail to each Holder and to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee a
notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the
amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

               SECTION 2.13. CUSIP NUMBERS.

               The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" numbers (if
then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in
notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; PROVIDED that any such
notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such
numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly
notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers.

                                  ARTICLE THREE

                                   REDEMPTION

               SECTION 3.01. NOTICES TO TRUSTEE. Notes of a series that are
redeemable before maturity shall be redeemed in accordance with their terms and,
unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides, in accordance with this
Article.

               In the case of any redemption by the Company, the Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of
Notes to be redeemed.

                                      -14-
<Page>

               The Company shall give each notice provided for in this Section
3.01 in an Officers' Certificate at least 60 days before the redemption date
(unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

               SECTION 3.02. SELECTION OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED. In the case of
any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by
the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities
exchange where the Notes are so listed or, if the Notes are not listed on a
principal securities exchange, PRO RATA, by lot or by such other method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; PROVIDED that no Note of $1,000
principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the
selection from the Notes outstanding and not previously called for redemption.
Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also
apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the
Company and the Registrar promptly in writing of the Notes or portions of Notes
to be called for redemption.

               SECTION 3.03. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. With respect to any
redemption of Notes, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a
redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first class
mail to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

               The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including
CUSIP number) and shall state:

               (i) the redemption date;

              (ii) the redemption price;

             (iii) the name and address of each Paying Agent;

              (iv) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the
          applicable Paying Agent in order to collect the redemption price;

               (v) that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption
          payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on
          and after the redemption date and the only remaining right of the
          Holders is to receive payment of the redemption price plus accrued
          interest, if any, to the redemption date upon surrender of the Notes
          to the Paying Agent; and

              (vi) if the redemption is conditioned upon any subsequent event,
          a description of such condition or event.

               At the Company's request (which request may be revoked by the
Company at any time prior to the time at which the Trustee shall have given such
notice to the Holders),

                                      -15-
<Page>

made in writing to the Trustee at least 60 days (or such shorter period as shall
be satisfactory to the Trustee) before a redemption date, the Trustee shall give
the notice of redemption in the name and at the expense of the Company. If,
however, the Company gives such notice to the Holders, the Company shall
concurrently deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such
notice has been given.

               SECTION 3.04. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Once notice of
redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the
redemption date and at the redemption price, unless the redemption is
conditioned upon the occurrence of a subsequent event. Upon surrender of any
Notes to the Paying Agent, unless such redemption is conditioned upon the
occurrence of a subsequent event, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption
price, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.

               Notice of redemption shall be deemed to be given when mailed,
whether or not the Holder receives the notice. In any event, failure to give
such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of Notes held by Holders to whom such notice was
properly given.

               SECTION 3.05. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. On or before 12:00
noon (New York City time) one Business Day prior to any redemption date, the
Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its
own Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.05)
money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all
Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions thereof called
for redemption on that date that have been delivered by the Company to the
Trustee for cancellation.

               SECTION 3.06. PAYMENT OF NOTES CALLED FOR REDEMPTION. If notice
of redemption has been given in the manner provided above, and unless such
redemption is conditioned upon a subsequent event, the Notes or portion of Notes
specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the
redemption date at the redemption price stated therein, together with accrued
interest, if any, to such redemption date, and so long as the Company has
deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the redemption price
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture on and after such date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of such Notes at the redemption price and
accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date, in which case the principal,
until paid, shall bear interest from the redemption date at the rate prescribed
in the Notes), such Notes shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any
Note for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Note shall
be paid and redeemed by the Company at the redemption price, together with
accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date; PROVIDED that installments of
interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the redemption date shall be
payable to the Holders registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Regular Record Date.

                                      -16-
<Page>

               SECTION 3.07. NOTES REDEEMED IN PART. Upon surrender of any Note
that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to
the unredeemed portion of such surrendered Note.

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

                                    COVENANTS

               SECTION 4.01. PAYMENT OF NOTES. The Company shall pay the
principal of and interest on the Notes in the manner provided in the Notes and
this Indenture. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid
on the date due if the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company, a
Subsidiary of the Company, or any Affiliate of any of them) holds on that date
money designated for and sufficient to pay the installment. As provided in
Section 6.09, upon a bankruptcy or reorganization procedure relative to the
Company, the Trustee shall serve as the Paying Agent, if any, for the Notes.

               The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and interest
on overdue installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate per annum
then borne upon the Notes.

               SECTION 4.02. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Company shall
maintain the offices and agencies specified in Section 2.04.

               SECTION 4.03. WAIVER OF STAY, EXTENSION OR USURY LAWS. The
Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not
at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law
that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein,
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of
any such law and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

               SECTION 4.04. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES. (a) The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year an
Officers' Certificate (which shall be signed by the Chief Financial Officer of
the Company) stating (i) that, a review has been conducted of the activities of
the Company under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to
determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled

                                      -17-
<Page>

its obligations under this Indenture, and (ii) that, to the best knowledge of
the Officer signing such certificate, the Company has kept, observed, performed
and fulfilled each and every covenant and condition contained in this Indenture
and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions, conditions and covenants hereof (or, if a Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred, specifying each such Default or Event of Default
and describing its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to
take with respect thereto).

               (b)  The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are
outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, promptly after any Officer of the Company
becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers' Certificate
specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is
taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

               SECTION 4.05. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES. The Company shall
cause all material properties owned by it or used or held for use in the
conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair
and working order (ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted)
and supplied with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all
necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the
business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and
advantageously conducted at all times; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in
this Section 4.05 shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the
maintenance of any such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment
of the Company, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company as a
whole and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

               SECTION 4.06. INSURANCE. The Company shall maintain insurance
with carriers believed by the Company to be responsible, against such risks and
in such amounts, and with such deductibles, retentions, self-insured amounts and
coinsurance provisions, as the Company believes are customarily carried by
similar businesses, of similar size, including as appropriate general liability,
property and casualty loss and interruption of business insurance.

                                  ARTICLE FIVE

                              SUCCESSOR CORPORATION

               SECTION 5.01. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION AND SALE OF ASSETS. (a) The
Company shall not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions,
consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease,
convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
whether as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any Person unless:

               (1)  either:

                    (A)  the Company shall be the surviving or continuing
               corporation; or

                    (B)  the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such
               consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person
               which acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance
               or other disposition the properties and assets of the Company
               substantially as an entirety (the "SURVIVING ENTITY"):

               (v)  the person is organized under the laws of the United States
                    or a State thereof or is organized under the laws of a
                    foreign jurisdiction and consents to the jurisdiction of the
                    courts of the United States or a State thereof;

               (x)  the person assumes by supplemental indenture all the

                    of Counsel to the effect that all the provisions in this
                    Section 5.01 have been complied with.

               The provisions of this Section 5.01 shall not apply to
transactions undertaken pursuant to an Inversion Transaction to the extent
provided in and permitted by any supplemental indenture for a series of Notes.

               SECTION 5.02. SUCCESSOR SUBSTITUTED. In the event of a sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than a lease)
described in and complying with the conditions listed in Section 5.01 in which
the Company is not the Surviving Entity and the Surviving Entity assumes all the
obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture, the Surviving
Entity will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and
power of, the Company under such agreements and the Company shall be discharged
from its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture.

                              DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

               SECTION 6.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. (a) The following events are
defined as "EVENTS OF DEFAULT" with respect to each series of notes:

                                      -19-
<Page>

               (1)  the failure to pay interest on any such 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 any
          applicable subordination provisions);

               (2)  the failure to pay the principal on any such Notes, when
          such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption
          or otherwise on the date specified for such payment in the applicable
          offer to purchase (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by
          any applicable subordination provisions);

               (3)  a default in the observance or performance of any other
          covenant or agreement contained in this 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 such Notes (except in the case of a
          default with respect to Section 5.01, which will constitute an Event

          time requirement);

          to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the
          principal amount of any Indebtedness 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 20 days of receipt by the Company of notice of any such
          acceleration);

               (5)  the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any
          Bankruptcy Law,

               (i)       commences a voluntary case,

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

               (iii)     consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for

               creditors; or

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

               (i)       is for relief against the Company as debtor in an
               involuntary case,

               (ii)      appoints a Custodian of the Company or a Custodian for
               all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or

                                      -20-
<Page>

               (iii)     orders the liquidation of the Company, and in each
               case, the order or decree remains unstayed and in  effect for 60
               days; or

               (b)  If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(a)(5) or 6.01(a)(6) above 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 of such series may declare the principal
of and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in
writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the applicable Event of
Default and that it is a "notice of acceleration" (the "ACCELERATION NOTICE"),
and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

               If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(5) or
6.01(a)(6) above 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 of such series 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.

               (c)  At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect
to the Notes as described in Section 6.01(b), the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of such Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration 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)       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 Section 6.01(a)(5) or 6.01(a)(6), 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.

                                      -21-
<Page>

               The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of
such series 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 such Notes.

               Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes
except as provided in this Indenture and under the TIA. The Trustee is under no
obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the
request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have
offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to all provisions of this
Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes of a series have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.

               SECTION 6.02. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. The Trustee shall, within 90
days after the occurrence of any Default with respect to the Notes, give the
Holders thereof notice of all uncured Defaults thereunder known to it; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, except in the case of an Event of Default in payment with respect
to the Notes or a Default in complying with Section 5.01, the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a committee of its trust
officers in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the
interest of the Holders.

               SECTION 6.03. OTHER REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs and
is continuing on a series of Notes, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy
by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Notes of such series or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Notes of such series 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. Holders of
such Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes of such series except as
provided in Section 6.02, Section 6.05, Section 6.06 and Section 6.07.

               SECTION 6.04. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Subject to Sections 6.02,
6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes of a series, by notice to the Trustee, may waive an existing
Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default in the
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note of such series
as specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 which cannot be waived without
the consent of the Holder of such Note or in respect of a covenant or provision
of this Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Holder of each outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default
shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been cured, for every purpose

                                      -22-
<Page>

of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

               SECTION 6.05. CONTROL BY MAJORITY. Subject to Section 7.02(e),
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of a series
may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly
prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in
personal liability; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee may take any other
action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction.

               SECTION 6.06. LIMITATION ON SUITS. A Holder may not pursue any
proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture and the Notes
of a series or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder unless:

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

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

             (iii)  such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity
          satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

              (iv)  the Trustee does not comply with the request within 15 days
          after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

               (v)  during such 15-day period, the Holders of a majority in
          aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series do not
          give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

               However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a
Holder of any Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on
such Note on or after the due date therefor (after giving effect to any grace
period specified in Section 6.01(a) and only with respect to the amount of such
missed payment).

               For purposes of Section 6.05 of this Indenture and this Section
6.06, the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 316(a) in making any
determination of whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Notes have concurred in any request or direction of the Trustee
to pursue any remedy available to the Trustee or the Holders with respect to
this Indenture and such Notes or otherwise under the law.

                                      -23-

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

               SECTION 6.07. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder
of a Note to receive payment of the principal amount of, Additional Interest, if
any, or interest on, such Note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes of a series, shall not
be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

               SECTION 6.08. COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE. If an Event of Default
in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of
Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in
its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other
obligor of the Notes for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and
accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal
and premium and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest
on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the
Notes of such series, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover
the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

               SECTION 6.09. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. The Trustee may
file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to
the Company (or any other obligor of the Notes), its creditors or its property
and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies,
securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange
of the Notes or upon any such claims and to distribute the same, and any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official 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 agent and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to empower 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 thereof, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding.

                                      -24-
<Page>

               SECTION 6.10. PRIORITIES. If the Trustee collects any money
pursuant to this Article Six it shall pay out the money in the following order:

               First: to the Trustee for all amounts due under Section 7.07 and
          any receiver, manager, administrative receiver, liquidator or agent
          appointed subject to this Indenture;

               Second: to Holders for amounts then due and unpaid for principal
          of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of a series in respect
          of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected,
          ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
          amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal, premium, if any,
          and interest, respectively; and

               Third: to the Company and any other obligors of such Notes, as
          their interests may appear, or as a court of competent jurisdiction
          may direct.

               The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a
record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section
6.10.

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

               SECTION 6.12. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Trustee
or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under
this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then,
and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Company, Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no
such proceeding had been instituted.

               SECTION 6.13. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or wrongfully taken Notes in Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to

                                      -25-
<Page>

every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

               SECTION 6.14. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission
of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon
any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and
remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may
be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

                                  ARTICLE SEVEN

                                     TRUSTEE

               SECTION 7.01. GENERAL. The duties and responsibilities of the
Trustee shall be as provided by the TIA and as set forth herein. The Trustee
undertakes to perform such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of
this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity
satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article
Seven.

               SECTION 7.02. CERTAIN RIGHTS, DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF
TRUSTEE. Subject to TIA Sections 315(a) through (d):

               (a)  if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of
          which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the
          Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
          this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
          exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the
          circumstances in the conduct of such Person's own affairs;

               (b)  the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in
          acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate,
          statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
          consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence

                                      -26-
<Page>

          of indebtedness or other paper or document (whether in its original or
          facsimile form) 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;

               (c)  before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
          require an Officers' Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, which
          shall conform to the certificate or opinion described in Section 11.03
          or Section 11.04, as the case may be. The Trustee shall not be liable
          for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on
          such certificate or opinion;

               (d)  the Trustee may consult with and act through attorneys and
          agents of its selection and the advice of such attorneys and agents
          shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
          any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
          and in reliance thereon;

               (e)  the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
          the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
          direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have
          offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory
          to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be
          incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

               (f)  the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or
          omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or
          within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to
          take in accordance with the direction of the Holders of the requisite
          percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes required by
          this Indenture relating to the time, method and place of conducting
          any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
          any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;

               (g)  whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee
          shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior
          to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee
          (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed), in the
          absence of bad faith on its part, may conclusively rely, as to the
          truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
          therein, upon an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel
          furnished to it and conforming with the requirements of this
          Indenture; but in the case of any such Officers' Certificate or
          Opinion of Counsel which by provision hereof are specifically required
          to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to
          examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the
          requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate
          the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated
          therein);

                                      -27-
<Page>

               (h)  the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
          into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
          statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
          consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness
          or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may
          make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters
          as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
          further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
          books, records and premises of the Company personally or by agent or
          attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability
          or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or
          investigation;

               (i)  the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
          Default or Event of Default except any Default or Event of Default of
          which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written
          notification, or obtained actual knowledge;

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

               (k)  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 to each agent, custodian and
          other Person employed to act hereunder; and

               (k)  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 authorized to sign an Officers'
          Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any
          such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

               SECTION 7.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like
rights. However, the Trustee is subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311.

               SECTION 7.04. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Trustee (a) makes no
representation as to the validity, accuracy or adequacy of this Indenture, any
offering materials or the Notes, (b) shall not be accountable for the Company's
use or application of the proceeds from the Notes and (c) shall not be
responsible for any statement in the Notes other than its certificate of
authentication.

               SECTION 7.05. NOTICE OF DEFAULT. If any Default or any Event of
Default occurs and is continuing and if such Default or Event of Default is
actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail
to each Holder in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c)
notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs, unless
such Default or Event of Default has been cured; PROVIDED,

                                      -28-
<Page>

HOWEVER, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as the Board of Directors, the executive
committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the
interest of the Holders. The Company shall give the Trustee notice of any
uncured Default or Event of Default within 30 days after any Responsible Officer
of the Company becomes aware of or receives actual notice of such Event of
Default.

               SECTION 7.06. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS. Within 60 days after
each May 15 following initial issuance, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder as
provided in TIA Section 313(c) a brief report dated as of such May 15 if
required by TIA Section 313(a).

               SECTION 7.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Company shall pay
to the Trustee such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing for its
services hereunder. The compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any
law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall
reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and
advances incurred or made by the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder.
Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the
Trustee's agents and counsel.

               The Company shall indemnify the Trustee, in each of its
capacities, and any successor of the Trustee, in each of its capacities, for,
and hold it harmless against, any and all claims, damages, losses, costs,
liability or expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of its counsel and advisors) and taxes (other than taxes based on the
income of the Trustee) incurred by it without negligence or willful misconduct
on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this Indenture and its duties under this Indenture and the
Notes and the exercise of its rights and powers under this Indenture, including
the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability
(whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) and of
complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this
Indenture and the Notes and the exercise of the rights of the Trustee
thereunder. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

               To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.07,
the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held
or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or
property held in trust to pay principal of, Additional Interest, if any, and
interest on particular Notes.

               If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the
occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(a)(5) and/or
6.01(a)(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its
counsel) and the compensation for the services will

                                      -29-

be intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable foreign, federal or state law
for the relief of debtors.

               The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the termination
of this Indenture, payment of the Notes and/or the removal or resignation of the
Trustee.

               SECTION 7.08. 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 7.08.

               The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in
writing at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove
the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor
Trustee with the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may remove
the Trustee by a Board Resolution if: (a) the Trustee is no longer eligible
under Section 7.10; (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; (c)
a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property;
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 successor Trustee takes office, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may appoint a
successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If
the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance required by the
next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.08 within 30 days after the retiring
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition, at the
expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for 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. Immediately after the
delivery of such written acceptance, subject to the lien provided in Section
7.07, (i) the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee
to the successor Trustee, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective and (iii) the successor Trustee shall have all
the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor
Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder.

               If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10, any
Holder who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(b) may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

                                      -30-
<Page>

               The Company shall give notice of any resignation and any removal
of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders. Each
notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its
Corporate Trust Office.

               Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.08, the Company's obligation under Section 7.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

               SECTION 7.09. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC. If the Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national
banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with
the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee
herein.

               SECTION 7.10. ELIGIBILITY. This Indenture shall always have a
Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1). The Trustee
shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth
in its most recent published annual report of condition.

               SECTION 7.11. MONEY HELD IN TRUST. 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 and except for
money held in trust under Article Eight of this Indenture.

               SECTION 7.12. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Paying Agent, as agent for
the Company, shall exclude and withhold from each payment of principal and
interest and other amounts due hereunder or under the Notes any and all
withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law, as directed in writing
by the Company. The Paying Agent agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in
connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges
are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in respect of
the Notes, to withhold such amounts, as directed in writing by the Company, and
timely pay the same to the appropriate authority, as directed in writing by the
Company, in the name of and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, and to file
any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due. The Company or the
Trustee shall, as promptly as possible after the payment of the taxes described
above, deliver to each Holder of a Note documentation in form satisfactory to
the Company showing the payment thereof, together with such additional
documentary evidence as such Holders may reasonably request from time to time.

               SECTION 7.13. TRUSTEE'S APPLICATION FOR INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE
COMPANY. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the
Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action
proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date
on and/or after which such actions shall be taken or such

                                      -31-
<Page>

omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action
taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in
such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date
shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any Officer of the
Company actually receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have
consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action
(or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have
received written instructions in response to such application specifying the
action to be taken or omitted.

               SECTION 7.14. APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE. (a) Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any
legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Notes may at the
time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver
all instruments necessary to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee
or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of
the Notes, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Holders, such title to the Notes, or any part hereof, and subject
to the other provisions of this Section 7.14, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No notice
to Holders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be
required.

               (b)  Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:

               (i)  all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
          imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
          exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
          co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
          co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee
          joining in such act) except to the extent that under any law of any
          jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
          the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified or it shall be
          unreasonably burdensome for the Trustee to perform such act or acts,
          in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including
          the holding of title to the Notes or any portion thereof in any such
          jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
          trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

              (ii)  no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of
          any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

             (iii)  the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
          remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

               (c)  Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively

                                      -32-
<Page>

as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article
Seven. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the
appointment, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture,
specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection or rights (including the
rights to compensation, reimbursement and indemnification hereunder) to, the
Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

               (d)  Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time
constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, until the appointment
of a new trustee or successor to such separate or co-trustee.

                                  ARTICLE EIGHT

                             DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

               SECTION 8.01. TERMINATION OF COMPANY'S OBLIGATIONS. Unless the
Securities Resolution otherwise precludes and except as otherwise provided in
this Section 8.01, the Company may terminate its obligations under this
Indenture and to a series of Notes if:

               (1)  either:

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

                    (b)  all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
               cancellation have become due and payable, 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,

                                      -33-
<Page>

               if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit 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.

               With respect to the foregoing clause (1), the Company's
obligations under Sections 7.07 and 12.08 shall survive such satisfaction and
discharge. With respect to the foregoing clause (2), the Company's obligations
in Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.07, 2.10, 2.12, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08, 8.04,
8.05, 8.06 and 12.08 shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding.
Thereafter, only the Company's obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05, 8.06 and
12.08 shall survive. After any such irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon
written request of the Company shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the
Company's obligations under the Notes and this Indenture, except for those
surviving obligations specified above.

               SECTION 8.02. DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE. The Company
will be deemed to have paid and will be discharged from any and all obligations
in respect of this Indenture and a series of Notes on the date of the deposit
referred to in clause (A) of this Section 8.02, and the provisions of this
Indenture will no longer be in effect with respect to such series of Notes
("LEGAL DEFEASANCE"), and the Trustee, 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: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from
the trust fund described in clause (A) below payments in respect of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are
due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes under Article Two

Article Eight. Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Company may
exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. The following conditions shall apply to
Legal Defeasance:

          trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, cash in United
          States dollars, non callable Government Securities, or a combination
          thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a
          nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay
          and discharge the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the

                                      -34-
<Page>

          outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity thereof or on the applicable
          redemption date (such date being referred to as the "DEFEASANCE
          REDEMPTION DATE"), as the case may be, and any other amounts owing
          under this Indenture, if in the case of a Defeasance Redemption Date
          prior to electing to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant
          Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an irrevocable
          notice to redeem all of the outstanding Notes on such Defeasance
          Redemption Date;

               (B)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
          of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee
          confirming that:

               (i)       the Company has received from, or there has been
          published by the United States Internal Revenue Service, a ruling, or

               (ii)      since the date of this Indenture, there has been a
          change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

          in either case to the effect that, and based thereon this Opinion of
          Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income,
          gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the
          Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. 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;

               (C)  no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
          of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of
          funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing
          such borrowing);

               (D)  the Legal Defeasance shall not result in a breach or
          violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture (other than
          a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such
          deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing) or any
          other material agreement or instrument (including, without limitation,
          the Credit Agreement) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
          is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is
          bound;

               (E)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
          Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by it with the
          intent of preferring the Holders over any other of its creditors or
          with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any
          other of its creditors or others;

               (F)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
          Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the
          conditions provided for in, in the case of the Officers' Certificate,
          clauses (A) through (E) and, in the case of the Opinion of

                                      -35-
<Page>

          Counsel, clauses (A) (with respect to the validity and perfection of
          the security interest), (B) and (D) of this Section 8.02 have been
          complied with; and

               (G)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
          of Counsel to the effect that assuming no intervening bankruptcy of
          the Company between the date of deposit and the 124th day following
          the date of deposit and that no Holder is an insider of the Company,
          after the 124th day following the date of deposit, the trust funds
          will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,
          insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights
          generally

               The Company's obligations in Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05,
2.07, 2.10, 2.12, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08,, 8.04, 8.05, 8.06 and 12.08 shall survive
until the Notes are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Company's
obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05, 8.06 and 12.08 shall survive.

               After any such irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon written
request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's
obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except for those surviving
obligations in the immediately preceding paragraph.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by
Section 8.02(B) 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 or a
redemption 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 8.03. DEFEASANCE OF CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS. Unless the
Securities Resolution otherwise provides, the Company may omit to comply with
certain terms, provisions or conditions ("COVENANT DEFEASANCE"), with respect to
a series of Notes if:

               (A)  the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in
          trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, cash in United
          States dollars, non callable Government Securities, or a combination
          thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a
          nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay
          and discharge the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
          outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity thereof or on the applicable
          redemption date (such date being referred to as the "DEFEASANCE
          REDEMPTION DATE"), as the case may be, and any other amounts owing
          under this Indenture, if in the case of a Defeasance Redemption Date
          prior to electing to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant
          Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an irrevocable
          notice to redeem all of the outstanding Notes on such Defeasance
          Redemption Date;

                                      -36-
<Page>

               (B)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
          of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to such Trustee
          confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss
          for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
          Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same
          amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
          the case if the Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

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

               (D)  the Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or
          violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture (other than
          a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to
          be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such
          borrowing) or any other material agreement or instrument (including,
          without limitation, the Credit Agreement) to which the Company or any
          of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
          Subsidiaries is bound;

               (E)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
          Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by it with the
          intent of preferring the Holders over any other of its creditors or
          with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any
          other of its creditors or others;

               (F)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
          Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the
          conditions provided for in, in the case of the Officers' Certificate,
          clauses (A) through (E) and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel,
          clauses (A) (with respect to the validity and perfection of the
          security interest), (B) and (D) of this Section 8.03 have been
          complied with; and

               (G)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
          of Counsel to the effect that assuming no intervening bankruptcy of
          the Company between the date of deposit and the 124th day following
          the date of deposit and that no Holder is an insider of the Company,
          after the 124th day following the date of deposit, the trust funds
          will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,
          insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights
          generally.

               If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant
Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes
when due, then the Company's obligations under this Indenture will be revived
and no such defeasance will be deemed to have occurred.

8.06, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust money or Government
Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the
case may be, and shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government
Obligations in accordance with the Notes and this Indenture to the payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes.

               SECTION 8.05. REPAYMENT TO COMPANY. Subject to Sections 7.07,
8.01, 8.02 and 8.03, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the
Company upon request set forth in an Officers' Certificate any excess money held
by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with
respect to such money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company
upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest that remains unclaimed for two years; PROVIDED that
the Trustee or such Paying Agent before being required to make any payment shall
cause to be published at the expense of the Company once in a newspaper of
general circulation in the City of New York or mail to each Holder entitled to
such money at such Holder's address (as set forth in the Register) notice that
such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein (which
shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing) any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.
After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to such money must look to the
Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates
another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with
respect to such money shall cease.

               SECTION 8.06. REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is
unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section
8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any legal proceeding or by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company's
obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated
as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the
case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01,
8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; PROVIDED that if the Company has made any
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of
the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

this Indenture and the Notes.

                                      -39-
<Page>

               Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02,
without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver, including a
waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

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

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

               (iii)     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;

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

               (v)       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; or

               (vi)      make any change that materially adversely affects the
               right to convert or exchange any Notes.

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

               After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02
becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a
notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company shall
mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. 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 supplemental indenture or waiver.

               This Section 9.02 is subject to Section 9.05.

               SECTION 9.03. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENT. Until an
amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a
continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or
portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as

                                      -40-
<Page>

the Note of the consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made
on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the
consent as to its Note or portion of its Note. Such revocation shall be
effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date
the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement
or waiver shall become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents
from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes and any other conditions thereto specified in the notice
relating thereto.

               The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date
for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the last
two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were
Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and only those
persons shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or
to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to
be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective
for more than 90 days after such record date.

               After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it
shall bind every Holder unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (i)
through (vi) of Section 9.02. In case of an amendment or waiver of the type
described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 9.02, the amendment or waiver
shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a
Note that evidences the same indebtedness as the Note of the consenting Holder.

               SECTION 9.04. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES. If an amendment,
supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the
Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee shall, if directed in writing
by the Company, place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed
terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee shall, if directed in writing
by the Company, place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter
authenticated. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in
exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee upon the Company's written
direction in the form of a Company Order shall authenticate a new Note that
reflects the changed terms.

               SECTION 9.05. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC. The Trustee
shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any
amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is
authorized and permitted by this Indenture (and otherwise in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee) and, in the case of an Inversion
Transaction, that the Supplemental Indenture is a legal and binding
obligation of the New Parent and enforceable against the New Parent in
accordance with its terms. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Trustee
shall sign such amendment, supplement or waiver if the same

                                      -41-
<Page>

does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the
Trustee. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such
amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

               SECTION 9.06. CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every
supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article Nine shall conform to
the requirement of the TIA as then in effect.

                                   ARTICLE TEN

                                   CONVERSION

               The terms and right of conversion, if any, of the Notes shall be

effectiveness of the Registration Statement, this Indenture shall incorporate
and be governed by the provisions of the TIA that are required to be part of and
to govern indentures qualified under the TIA. After the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement, this Indenture shall be subject to the provisions of the
TIA that are required to be a part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent
applicable, be governed by such provisions.

               SECTION 11.02. NOTICES. Any notice or communication shall be
sufficiently given if in writing and delivered in person or mailed by first
class mail addressed or via facsimile as follows:

               if to the Company:

                         The Manitowoc Company, Inc.
                         500 South 16th Street
                         Manitowoc, Wisconsin 54221-0666

                                      -42-
<Page>

               if to the Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar:

                         [Name of Trustee]
                         [                           ]
                         [                           ]
                         [                           ]

               The Company or the Trustee by notice to the other (and to each
Representative for Designated Senior Debt known to it to be then outstanding)
may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or
communications.

               Any notice or communication mailed to a Holder shall be mailed to
it at such Holder's address as it appears on the Register by first class mail
and shall be sufficiently given to it if so mailed within the time prescribed.
Copies of any such communication or notice to a Holder shall also be mailed to
the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

               All notices shall be deemed to have been given upon the mailing
by first class mail, postage prepaid, of such notices to Holders of the Notes at
their registered addresses as recorded in the Register.

               Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any
defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.
Except for a notice to the Trustee, which is deemed given only when received,
and except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, if a notice or communication
is mailed in the manner provided in this Section 11.02, it is duly given,
whether or not the addressee receives it.

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

               In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by
reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail,
then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall
constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

               SECTION 11.03. CERTIFICATE AND OPINION AS TO CONDITIONS
PRECEDENT. Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take
any action under this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee:

              (ii)  an Opinion of Counsel, upon which the Trustee may
          conclusively rely, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee
          stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions
          precedent have been complied with; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, with
          respect to matters of fact, an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an

          has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable
          him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant
          or condition has been complied with; and

              (iv)  a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each
          such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. The
