                              BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC.

                 FUTURES AND OPTIONS CUSTOMER ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

         This Futures and Options Customer Account Agreement ("Agreement")
between BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC., a registered futures commission merchant ("FCM")
and broker/dealer, and the undersigned ("Customer") shall govern all
transactions that Barclays Capital Inc. or any of its affiliates or agents
(collectively, "Barclays," unless otherwise specified) may execute, clear and/or
carry on Customer's behalf for the purchase or sale of commodities, commodity
futures, security futures, option and forward contracts thereon and interests
therein (including exchange-for-physical ("EFPs"), exchange-for-swap ("EFSs"),
and exchange-for-risk ("EFRs") transactions) (collectively, "Contracts") and any
accounts, including reactivated accounts, carried by Barclays on behalf and in
the name of Customer (each, an "Account").

         1.       APPLICABLE LAW.

         Each Account and all Contracts, transactions and agreements in respect
of each Account shall be subject to (i) the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA") and
all rules and interpretations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
("CFTC") and the National Futures Association ("NFA"); (ii) the constitution,
by-laws, rules, regulations, policies, procedures, interpretations and customs
of any applicable U.S. or non-U.S. board of trade, exchange, contract market,
trading facility or execution facility, including, without limitation, an
electronic trading system, facility or service, or clearing organization (each,
a "Transaction Facility") or of any clearing firm or self-regulatory agency or
organization; and (iii) any other laws, rules, interpretations, customs or usage
of the trade applicable to Customer's trading of Contracts. All such laws,
rules, regulations, policies, procedures, interpretations, customs and usage, as
in force from time to time, are hereinafter collectively referred to as
"Applicable Law".

         2.       GENERAL AGREEMENTS. Customer acknowledges and agrees that:

         (a)      Barclays' Responsibility. Barclays is responsible solely for
the execution, carrying and/or clearing of Contracts in each Account in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Neither Barclays nor any managing
director, officer or employee of Barclays is acting as a fiduciary or advisor in
respect of Customer or any Contract or Account. Barclays shall have no
responsibility for compliance with any law or regulation governing the conduct
of any fiduciary or advisor. Barclays shall have no responsibility for
Customer's compliance with any law or regulation governing or affecting
Customer's trading hereunder.

         (b)      Information and Positions. Any information on the market or on
matters incidental to the operation of any of your Accounts or the nature of any
of the Contracts provided by Barclays is solely incidental to the conduct of
Barclays' business as an FCM. Barclays makes no representation as to the
accuracy, completeness or reliability of any such information. Barclays and its
managing directors, officers and employees may take, hold or liquidate positions
in, or provide such information to other customers with respect to, Contracts
that are the subject of such information furnished by Barclays to Customer, and
such other positions and/or information may be inconsistent with the positions
held by or information given to Customer.

         (c)      Limitation of Barclays' Liability. Barclays shall not be
liable to Customer (i) in connection with the performance or non-performance by
any Transaction Facility or by any other third party where the use of such third
party was not required by Barclays (including, without limitation, floor
brokers, executing agents, banks, clearing firms and other depositories) in
respect of any Contract or other

<PAGE>

property of Customer; (ii) as a result of any prediction or information made or
given by a representative of Barclays, whether or not made or given at the
request of Customer; (iii) as a result of any delay in the performance or
non-performance of any of Barclays' obligations hereunder directly or indirectly
caused by the occurrence of any contingency beyond the control of Barclays
including, but not limited to, the unscheduled closure of a Transaction
Facility, clearing firm or other depository or delays in the transmission of
orders due to breakdowns or failures of transmission or communication
facilities, Transaction Facilities or other systems, it being understood that
Barclays shall be excused from performance of its obligations hereunder for such
period of time as is reasonably necessary after such occurrence to remedy the
effects therefrom; (iv) as a result of any action taken by or on behalf of
Barclays or its floor brokers and agents to comply with Applicable Law; or (v)
for any acts or omissions of those neither employed nor supervised by Barclays.
Neither Barclays nor its managing directors, officers or employees shall be
responsible for any loss, liability, damage or expense except to the extent that
such loss, liability, damage or expense arises from its gross negligence or
willful misconduct. In no event will Barclays, its managing directors, officers
or employees be liable to Customer for consequential, incidental or special
damages under or relating to this Agreement.

         (d)      Security Interest. Except to the extent proscribed by
Applicable Law not subject to waiver, all Contracts, funds, margin, performance
bond, premium, currencies, securities, credit balances and other property from
time to time held by, to the order of or on behalf of Barclays or held for the
benefit of the Customer by Barclays including, without limitation, by any
Transaction Facility or clearing firm through which transactions are executed,
carried and/or cleared and/or positions are held by Barclays, on behalf of the
Customer, and all proceeds thereof (collectively, "Collateral") are hereby
pledged to Barclays, and shall be subject to a general lien and a continuing,
perfected first security interest in Barclays' favor to secure any and all of
Customer's indebtedness or other obligations and/or liabilities owed to
Barclays. Customer agrees to execute any documents reasonably required by
Barclays for the perfection or negotiation of such general lien or security
interest. Customer hereby grants Barclays the right, in accordance with
Applicable Law, to borrow, pledge, repledge, transfer, hypothecate,
rehypothecate, loan or invest any of the Collateral, including without
limitation, utilizing the Collateral to purchase or sell securities pursuant to
repurchase agreements or reverse repurchase agreements with any party, in each
case without notice to Customer. Unless mutually agreed otherwise, Barclays
shall pay to Customer the interest or income earned from the investment or
utilization of such Collateral at a rate not to exceed the Fed Funds rate minus
0.75%.

         (e)      Conclusiveness of Reports and Objections. All written and oral
reports or communications related to transactions in the Accounts, including but
not limited to confirmations, purchase and sale statements, monthly statements
and correction notices (collectively, "Reports"), shall be conclusive and
binding on Customer unless Customer notifies Barclays of any objection as
follows: (i) in the case of any written Reports, prior to the opening of trading
on the Transaction Facility on or through which such transaction occurred on the
business day following the day on which Customer receives such Report, and (ii)
in the case of any oral Report, at the time such Report is given to Customer.
Nothing herein, however, shall prevent Barclays upon discovery of any error or
omission, from correcting a Report.

         (f)      Delivery and Exercise Instructions. If Customer intends to
make or take delivery under any futures Contract or to exercise any option
Contract, Customer agrees to notify Barclays not later than the time specified
by Barclays and in any event at least (i) with respect to long positions, two
(2) business days prior to first notice day of the applicable Transaction
Facility, and (ii) with respect to short positions, two (2) business days prior
to the last trading day for the Contract in question (such time periods are
referred to herein as the "Notice Periods"). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Customer agrees that Customer will not make or take delivery through Barclays
with respect to any Contract that provides for the physical delivery of an
underlying commodity that is not an energy, metal, financial, currency,

                                       2                              March 2003

equity or interest rate product (a "Non-Deliverable Contract") except with the
prior consent of an officer or director of Barclays. Customer further agrees
that, absent such consent to delivery, Customer shall liquidate all of
Customer's open positions in Non-Deliverable Contracts no later than the end of
the applicable Notice Period. With respect to any deliverable Contract, Customer
shall ensure Barclays holds sufficient funds in Customer's Account to fulfill
Customer's obligations to make or take delivery and shall furnish Barclays with
property deliverable by Customer under any Contract in accordance with Barclays'
directions. If Customer fails to comply with any of the foregoing obligations,
Barclays may, at its discretion and upon Barclays' good faith effort to notify
Customer, liquidate and/or roll forward to a later delivery month any open
Contracts, make or receive delivery of any commodities or instruments, or
exercise or allow the expiration of any options, for Customer's Account and
risk, and in such manner and on such terms as Barclays in its discretion deems
necessary or appropriate. Customer shall remain fully liable for, and Customer's
Account will be debited for, any loss, costs, expenses and liabilities incurred
by Barclays in connection with such transactions and for any remaining debit
balance in Customer's Account.

         (g)      Options Exercise and Allocation Procedure. Customer
understands and acknowledges that certain option Contracts sold by Customer may
be subject to exercise at any time. Exercise notices received by Barclays with
respect to option Contracts sold by Barclays customers shall be allocated among
customers (including Customer) pursuant to a random allocation procedure, and
Customer shall be bound by any such allocation made to it. Information regarding
Barclays' random allocation procedure is available upon request. Such notices
may be allocated to Customer after the close of trading on the day on which such
notices have been allocated to Barclays by the applicable Transaction Facility.
In the event of the allocation of an exercise notice(s) to Customer, Barclays
shall use reasonable efforts to notify Customer promptly. Barclays shall have no
responsibility for any action it takes or fails to take with respect to any
option Contract (and, without limiting the foregoing, shall have no
responsibility to exercise any option Contract purchased by Customer) unless and
until Barclays receives acceptable and timely instructions from Customer
indicating the action to be taken.

         (h)      Acceptance of Orders; Position Limits. Barclays shall have the
right, whenever in its discretion it deems it appropriate, to limit the number
of open Contracts (net or gross) that Barclays will at any time execute, clear
and/or carry for Customer, to require Customer to reduce open positions carried
with Barclays, and to refuse the acceptance of orders to establish new
positions. Barclays shall immediately notify Customer of its rejection of any
order. Unless specified by Customer, Barclays may designate the Transaction
Facilities (including, without limitation, any electronic trading systems or
facilities) on or through which it will attempt to execute orders. Customer
shall comply at all times, including throughout the trading day, with all
position limit rules imposed by Applicable Law.

         (i)      Liquidation of Offsetting Positions. Barclays shall liquidate
any Contract for which an offsetting order is entered by Customer, unless
Customer instructs Barclays not to liquidate such Contract and to maintain the
offsetting Contracts as open positions, provided, however, that Barclays shall
not be obligated to comply with any such instructions given by Customer if
Customer fails to provide Barclays with any representations, documentation or
information reasonably requested by Barclays or if, in Barclays' reasonable
judgment, any failure to liquidate such offsetting Contracts against each other
would result in a violation of Applicable Law.

         (j)      Reliance on Instructions. Barclays and its managing directors,
officers and employees shall be entitled to rely, and shall not be liable for
any reliance, on any instruction, notice or communication that it reasonably
believes to have originated from Customer or Customer's duly authorized agent
(including a third-party advisor, if any), and Customer shall be bound thereby.

                                       3                              March 2003
<PAGE>

         (k)      Use of Clearing Brokers. Customer authorizes Barclays in its
discretion to select for and on behalf of Customer floor brokers and execution
agents and, on Transaction Facilities where Barclays is not a clearing member,
unaffiliated clearing brokers, which will act as brokers and agents of Customer
in connection with transactions in Contracts for the Account(s). Such
transactions may be cleared through accounts maintained by Barclays in its own
name with one or more clearing brokers.

         (l)      Give-Ups. Absent a separate written agreement with Customer
with respect to give-ups, Barclays, in its discretion, may, but shall not be
obligated to, accept from other brokers Contracts executed by such brokers for
Customer and to be given up to Barclays for clearance or carrying in an Account.

         (m)      Financial and Other Information. Customer shall provide to
Barclays such financial and other information regarding Customer as Barclays may
from time to time reasonably request. Customer authorizes Barclays to contact
such banks, financial institutions and credit agencies as Barclays shall deem
appropriate from time to time for verification of such information. Customer
shall notify Barclays promptly of any material adverse change to its condition,
financial or otherwise. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Barclays may
provide financial and other information regarding Customer to any Transaction
Facility, clearing firm or self-regulatory agency or organization upon the
request of any such entity and as permitted by Applicable Law.

         (n)      Currency Exchange Risk. Customer shall bear all risk and cost
in respect of the conversion of currencies incident to transactions effected on
behalf of Customer pursuant hereto. Unless otherwise specified in the Reports
sent to Customer with respect to its Contracts and Accounts, all margin deposits
in connection with any Contracts, and any debits or credits to Customer's
Account(s), shall be stated in U.S. Dollars. By placing an order in a Contract
settled in a particular currency (the "Contract Currency"), Customer agrees to
convert to the Contract Currency funds sufficient to meet the applicable margin
requirement. Any conversions of currency shall be at a rate of exchange
reasonably determined by Barclays based on prevailing money market rates of
exchange for such currencies.

         (o)      Recording of Telephone Conversations. Customer acknowledges,
authorizes and consents to the recording of any telephone conversation between
Customer and Barclays, on tape or otherwise, with or without the use of an
automatic tone warning device. Customer hereby waives any and all objections to
the admissibility into evidence of any such tape recording in any legal
proceedings between the parties hereto.

         (p)      Inactive Accounts. Customer acknowledges that Barclays may
from time to time place accounts in which there is no trading on inactive status
and Customer agrees to provide whatever reasonably requested information
Barclays may require upon Customer's request to reactivate any such inactive
Account.

         3.       CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIONS.

         Customer represents, warrants and agrees as of the date hereof and on

assessing the merits of, understanding (on its own behalf or through independent
professional advice) and assuming, and understands, accepts and assumes, the

independent decisions to enter into Contracts and as to whether each Contract is
appropriate or proper for it based on Customer's own judgment and upon advice
from such advisors as it has deemed necessary;

         (i)      Barclays shall have no discretionary authority, power or

introduces Customer to Barclays or who places orders on behalf of Customer; and

                                       5                              March 2003

         (o)      No person or entity other than Customer has, nor during the

                                       6                              March 2003

         (a)      Each of the following events shall be a default ("Default") by
Customer under this Agreement:

                  (i)      Customer breaches or fails to timely and fully
         perform any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise in respect of any
         Contract;

                  (ii)     Customer fails to deposit or maintain required
         margin, fails to pay required premiums or fails to make any other
         payments required hereunder or otherwise in respect of any Contract;

                  (iii)    if Customer is an employee benefit plan, the
         termination of Customer or the filing by Customer of a notice of intent
         to terminate with a governmental agency or body, or the receipt of a
         notice of intent to terminate Customer from a governmental agency or
         body, or the inability of Customer to pay benefits under the relevant
         employee benefit plan when due;

                  (iv)     any representation made by Customer or Advisor (if
         any) is not or ceases to be accurate and complete in any material
         respect;

                  (v)      a case in bankruptcy is commenced or a proceeding
         under any insolvency or other law for the protection of creditors or
         for the appointment of a receiver, trustee or similar officer is filed
         by or against Customer;

                  (vi)     Customer makes or proposes to make any arrangement or
         composition for the benefit of its creditors, or Customer or any of its

         appointment of a receiver, trustee or similar officer for Customer or
         its property;

                  (vii)    Customer makes an admission in writing that it is
         insolvent or is unable to pay its debts when they mature or the
         suspension by Customer of its usual business or any material portion
         thereof; and

                  (viii)   any warrant or order of attachment is issued against
         any Account or a judgment is levied against any Account.

         (b)      Upon the occurrence of a Default, or if Barclays reasonably
considers it necessary for its protection to exercise any of the following
remedies, then Barclays shall have the right, in addition to any other remedy
available at law or equity to Barclays, all without demand for margin and
without notice or advertisement (except as provided in Section 6(c) below):

                  (i)      close out any or all of Customer's open Contracts,
         including, without limitation, through EFPs, EFSs or EFRs. For the
         purposes of this provision, Customer expressly authorizes Barclays to
         act as broker for Customer or as principal opposite Customer with
         respect to such EFP, EFS or EFR transactions and to execute such
         physical commodity, swap or over-the-counter transactions and documents
         on behalf of Customer as may be necessary to effect such EFP, EFS or
         EFR transactions. Customer recognizes that such EFP, EFS or EFR
         transactions are not competitively executed by open outcry on a
         Transaction Facility but will be executed at the market price then
         available to Barclays;

                  (ii)     cancel any or all of Customer's outstanding orders;

                                       7                              March 2003
<PAGE>

                  (iii)    treat any or all of Customer's obligations due
         Barclays as immediately due and payable;

                  (iv)     set off any obligations of Barclays to Customer
         against any obligations of Customer to Barclays;

                  (v)      sell any Collateral and/or set off and apply any
         Collateral or the proceeds of the sale of any Collateral to satisfy any
         obligations of Customer to Barclays;

                  (vi)     borrow or buy any Contracts, options, securities or
         other property for any Account;

                  (vii)    terminate any or all of Barclays' obligations for
         future performance to Customer; and/or

                  (viii)   take such other or further action as Barclays in its
         discretion reasonably considers necessary or appropriate for its
         protection.

         (c)      So long as Barclays' rights or position would not be
jeopardized thereby, Barclays shall make a good faith effort to notify Customer
of its intention to take any of the actions specified in (i) through (viii) of
Section 6(b) above before taking any such action. Barclays shall not be deemed
to have breached any obligation to Customer if no such notice is given. Any sale
or purchase hereunder may be made in any manner determined by Barclays to be
commercially reasonable. In all cases a prior demand, margin call or notice of
any kind shall not be considered a waiver of Barclays' right to take any action
provided for herein. Customer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency
remaining in each Account after any such action is taken, together with interest
thereon.

         7.       TERMINATION.

         (a)      This Agreement may be terminated by Customer or Barclays by
written notice to the other. Such termination shall be effective when received
by the addressee thereof and shall be of no effect in relation to any orders
placed or transactions executed prior to such notice. In the event of such
notice, Customer shall either close out open positions in the Account or arrange
for such open positions to be transferred to another FCM.

         (b)      Upon satisfaction by Customer of all liabilities to Barclays
arising hereunder (including payment obligations with respect to the transfer of
Contracts to another FCM), Barclays shall transfer to the FCM specified by
Customer all Contracts, cash, securities and other property then held for any
Account, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate. The representations,
warranties and indemnities contained in this Agreement shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.

         8.       INDEMNIFICATION. Customer hereby agrees to pay, indemnify and
hold Barclays, its managing directors, officers and employees harmless from and
against any and all loss, liability, damage, cost, penalty, fine, tax or expense
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of collection
and any cost incurred in successfully defending against any claim asserted by
Customer) (collectively, "Losses") incurred by Barclays or such other persons in
connection with the Account and/or any transactions or positions established or
maintained therein. Such indemnification shall include, without limitation,
Losses with respect to (i) any action taken or not taken by Barclays and its
managing directors, officers or employees in reliance upon any instruction,

BELOW.)

         (a)      CUSTOMER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED AND
UNDERSTANDS THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURE STATEMENT PRESCRIBED BY THE CFTC AND
FURNISHED HEREWITH:

                           RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS
         INITIAL           (Appendix A to CFTC Rule 1.55(c) transcribed in full

         (b)      If Customer (i) maintains one or more other accounts (such as
a securities, commodities, cash or margin account) at Barclays and (ii) wants to
permit Barclays to transfer funds from such accounts without obtaining specific
instructions in each case, Customer should initial the following section:

                           Customer hereby specifically authorizes Barclays,
         INITIAL           until further notice in writing, to transfer any
                           excess funds from/to Customer's regulated commodity
                           account, whether a segregated account or a secured
                           account, (i) to/from any other account that Customer
                           maintains with Barclays, if in Barclays' judgment
                           such transfer is necessary to avoid or reduce a
                           margin call or to reduce a debit balance in such
                           other account, or (ii) to Barclays in order to
                           satisfy any obligation of Customer to Barclays.
                           Barclays will notify Customer in writing of any
                           transfer of funds made pursuant to this authorization
                           within a reasonable time after each transfer.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Customer has executed this Agreement as of the date set
forth below.

date of determination had been the applicable base interest rate for the entire
period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Debt
if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). In

Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those
set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of
beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with
either clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the
other following clauses, as applicable:

                  (i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.
         Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred
         to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
         interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the
         transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend;
         provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Distribution
         Compliance Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation
         S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or
         benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial
         interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons
         who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an
         Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be
         required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers
         described in this Section 2.06(b)(i).

                  (ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests
         in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of
         beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(i) above,
         the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the
         Registrar either (1)(A) a written order from a Participant or an
         Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the
         Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be
         credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount
         equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (B)
         instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures
         containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited
         with such increase or (2)(A) a written order from a Participant or an
         Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the
         Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a
         Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be

         to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose
         name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or
         exchange referred to in (2)(A) above. Upon consummation of a Registered
         Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance with Section 2.06(f), the
         requirements of this Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall be deemed to have been
         satisfied upon receipt by the Registrar of the instructions contained
         in the Letter of Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial
         interests in the Restricted Global Notes. Upon satisfaction of all of
         the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in
         Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise
         applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the
         principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section
         2.06(h).

         delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another
         Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements

                  (iv) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a

                  a Registered Exchange Offer in accordance with the
                  Registration Rights Agreement, and the holder of the
                  beneficial interest to be transferred, in the case of an
                  exchange, or the transferee, in the case of a transfer,

                  Registration Statement in accordance with the Registration
                  Rights Agreement;

                           (3) such transfer is effected by a broker-dealer
                  pursuant to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in

                                    (A) if the holder of such beneficial
                           interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to
                           exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial
                           interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a
                           certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit C

                  Registrar or the Company so requests or if the Applicable
                  Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form
                  reasonably acceptable to the Registrar or the Company, as the
                  case may be, to the effect that such exchange or transfer is

                  restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private
                  Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain
                  compliance with the Securities Act.

If any such transfer is effected pursuant to clause (2) or (4) above at a time

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

         (i) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

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

                  (ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a
         beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive
         Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may
         require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
         similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than
         any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon
         exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.13, 4.17 and
         9.06).

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

                  (iv) Neither the Registrar nor the Company shall be required
         (1) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes
         during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the
         day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and
         ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (2) to
         register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for
         redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
         Note being redeemed in part or (3) to register the transfer of or to
         exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest
         payment date.

<PAGE>

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

                  (vi) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and
         Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.02 and
         2.06(i)(i).

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

                  (viii) The Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into a letter
         of representations with the Depository in the form provided by the
         Company and to act in accordance with such letter.

         Section 2.07. Replacement Notes.

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

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

         Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes.

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

         (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

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

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

         Section 2.09. Treasury Notes.

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

         Section 2.10. Temporary Notes.

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

         (b) Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits
of this Indenture.

         Section 2.11. Cancellation.

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

         Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest.

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

         Section 2.13. CUSIP or ISIN Numbers.

                  The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" or "ISIN"
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" or
"ISIN" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided,
however, 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 r-

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

edemption 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" or "ISIN" numbers.

         Section 2.14. Special Interest.

                  If Special Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement and paragraph 1 of the Notes, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (a) the amount of
such Special Interest that is payable and (b) the date on which such interest is
payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a
certificate or instruction or direction from the Holders in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Special
Interest is payable. The foregoing shall not prejudice the rights of the Holders
with respect to their entitlement to Special Interest as otherwise set forth in
this Indenture or the Notes and pursuing any action against the Company directly
or otherwise directing the Trustee to take any such action in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture and the Notes. If the Company has paid Special
Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to
the Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

                                   ARTICLE 3.

                            REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

         Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee.

                  If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Section 3.07, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers'
Certificate setting forth (a) the paragraph of the Notes or the Section (or
clause) of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (b) the
redemption date, (c) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (d) the
redemption price or if the redemption is made pursuant to Section 3.07(b), a
calculation of the redemption price.

         Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to be Redeemed.

         (a) If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the
Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed among the Holders of the Notes on
a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee
considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the
particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided
herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by
the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

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

<PAGE>

         (c) The provisions of clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.02 shall
not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a Global Note, whether
such Global Note is to be redeemed in whole or in part, to the extent such
provisions conflict with Applicable Procedures. In case of any such redemption
in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Global Note shall
be in an authorized denomination.

         Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

         (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption
date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a
notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its
registered address.

         (b) The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

                  (i) the redemption date;

                  (ii) the redemption price or if the redemption is made
         pursuant to Section 3.07(b), a calculation of the redemption price;

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

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

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

                  (vi) that, unless the Company defaults in making such
         redemption payment, interest, including Special Interest, if any, on
         Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the
         redemption date;

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

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

If any of the Notes to be redeemed is in the form of a beneficial interest in a
Global Note, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary
to accord with the procedures of the Depositary applicable to redemption.

         (c) At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; provided, however, that the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days, or such shorter
period allowed by the Trustee, prior to the redemption date, an Officers'
Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the
information to be stated in such notice as provided in this Section 3.03.

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

         Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

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

         Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

         (a) On or before 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day prior to
any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the
Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate
and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04) money sufficient to pay the
redemption price of, and accrued interest, including Special Interest, if any,
on, all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall
promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the
Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the
redemption price of, and accrued interest, including Special Interest, if any,
on, all Notes to be redeemed.

         (b) If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding
paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest, including Special
Interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes
called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date
but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and
unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was
registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for
redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the
failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest,
including Special Interest, if any, shall be paid on the unpaid principal from
the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on
any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.

         Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part.

                  Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company
shall issue and, upon the Company's written request, the Trustee shall
authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in
principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

         Section 3.07. Optional Redemption.

any portion of the Notes, at once or over time, after giving the required notice

                  (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
         and

                  (ii) the sum of the present values of (1) the redemption price
         of the Notes at March 15, 2008 (as set forth in clause (a) of this
         Section 3.07) and (2) the remaining scheduled payments of interest from
         the redemption date to March 15, 2008, but excluding accrued and unpaid
         interest to the redemption date, discounted to the redemption date at
         the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, including Special Interest,
if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

3.07(b) shall include the appropriate calculation of the redemption price, but
need not include the redemption price itself. The actual redemption price,
calculated as described in this clause (b), shall be set forth in an Officers'
Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to
the redemption date (unless clause (2) of the definition of "Comparable Treasury
Price" is applicable, in which case, such Officers' Certificate will be
delivered on the redemption date).

         (c) At any time and from time to time prior to March 15, 2007, the
Company may redeem up to a maximum of 35% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes (including any Additional Notes) that have been issued under this
Indenture on or after the Issue Date with the proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings, at a redemption price equal to 107.50% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Special Interest, if any,
to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record
date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided,
however, that after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including any Additional Notes) that
have been issued under this Indenture on or after the Issue Date remains
outstanding. Any such redemption shall be made within 75 days of such Equity
Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice.

         (d) Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant
to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.

         Section 3.08. Mandatory Redemption.

                  The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption

existence, and the corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other
existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the
respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to
time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to preserve the corporate, limited liability
company, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries if

         Section 4.08. Payments for Consent.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any of its

any Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of
the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration
is offered to be paid or is paid to all Holders of Notes that consent, waive or
agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents
relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

         Section 4.09. Maintenance of Consolidated Net Worth.

         (a) In the event (the "Net Worth Trigger Event") the Consolidated Net
Worth at the end of each of any two consecutive fiscal quarters ending after the
Issue Date (the last day of such second fiscal quarter being referred to as the
"Net Worth Trigger Date") is less than $150.0 million (the "Minimum Net Worth"),
the Company shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes (a "Net Worth
Offer") to repurchase Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Net
Worth Offer Amount on a pro rata basis from such Holders, on a Business Day (the
"Net Worth Repurchase Date") that is no earlier than 30 days or later than 60
days following the date the Net Worth Notice is mailed and at a purchase price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest,
including Special Interest, if any, to the Net Worth Repurchase Date (the "Net
Worth Offer Price") (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date
to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

         (b) The "Net Worth Offer Amount" shall equal 10% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (or if less than 10% of the
original aggregate principal amount of such Notes (including any Additional
Notes) issued are then outstanding, the amount of all the Notes outstanding at
the time).

         (c) The Company may credit against the Net Worth Offer Amount the
principal amount of Notes acquired by the Company prior to the Net Worth Trigger
Date through purchase, optional redemption or exchange; provided, however, no
credit shall be made for any mandatory repurchase, including, without
limitation, repurchases pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Prepayment
Offer. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding clauses (a) and (b) to the
contrary, in no event shall the Company's failure to maintain a minimum
Consolidated Net Worth result in requiring it to make more than one Net Worth
Offer. The Company shall notify the Trustee promptly after the occurrence of the
Net Worth Trigger Event and shall notify the Trustee in writing if its
Consolidated Net Worth is less than the Minimum Net Worth for any fiscal quarter
ending after the Issue Date and prior to the Net Worth Repurchase Date.

         (d) Within 30 days following the Net Worth Trigger Date, the Company
shall:

                                      -51-

         each Holder of Notes, at such Holder's address appearing in the
         Security Register, a notice (the "Net Worth Notice") stating:

                           (1) that a Net Worth Trigger Event has occurred and a
                  Net Worth Offer is being made and that all Notes timely
                  tendered will be accepted for payment on a pro rata basis or
                  otherwise in accordance with DTC's Applicable Procedures;

                           (2) the Net Worth Offer Price, the Net Worth Offer
                  Amount and the Net Worth Repurchase Date;

                           (3) the date by which the Net Worth Offer must be
                  accepted; and

                           (4) the procedures that Holders of Notes must follow
                  in order to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for
                  payment, and the procedures that Holders of Notes must follow
                  in order to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions
                  thereof) for payment.

         (e) The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws
or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to the Net
Worth Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.09, the Company will
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of
such compliance.

                  (i) the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary
         Guarantor to, Incur any Debt pursuant to this Section 4.10, other than
         pursuant to clause (a)(i) of this Section 4.10 and clause (b)(xiii) of
         this Section 4.10, if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or
         indirectly, to Refinance any Subordinated Debt in respect of the Notes

the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(xiv) of
this Section 4.10 or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to clause (a)(i) of
this Section 4.10, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item
of Debt on the date of its Incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of
such item of Debt, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.10,

                                      -54-

and such item of Debt will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to one or
more of such categories of Permitted Debt or pursuant to clause (a)(i) of this
Section 4.10.

                  Net Income for such period shall be a deficit, minus 100% of
                  such deficit), plus

                  than Disqualified Stock) of the Company excluding,

                                    (A) any such Debt issued or sold to the

                           Company or any such Subsidiary for the benefit of
                           their employees, and

                           Restricted Subsidiary upon any such conversion or
                           exchange, plus

                           (4) an amount equal to the sum of:

                                    (A) the net reduction in Investments in any
                           Person other than the Company or a Restricted
                           Subsidiary resulting from dividends, repayments of
                           loans or advances or other transfers of Property, in
                           each case to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
                           from such Person since June 25, 2002, and

                                    (B) the portion (proportionate to the
                           Company's equity interest in such Unrestricted
                           Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net
                           assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such
                           Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted
                           Subsidiary;

                  provided, however, that the preceding sum shall not exceed, in
                  the case of any Person, the amount of Investments previously
                  made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Company or
                  any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person, plus

                           (5) $15.0 million.

         (b) Notwithstanding the preceding limitation, the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary may:

                  (i) pay dividends on its Capital Stock within 60 days of the
         declaration thereof if, on the declaration date, such dividends could

         than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary of the Company or an
         employee stock ownership plan or trust established by the Company or
         any such Subsidiary for the benefit of their employees); provided,
         however, that

                           (1) such purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal
                  defeasance, acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in the
                  calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments, and

                           (2) the Capital Stock Sale Proceeds from such
                  exchange or sale shall be excluded from the calculation
                  pursuant to clause (a)(iii)(2) of this Section 4.11;

                  (iii) purchase, repurchase, redeem, legally defease, acquire
         or retire for value any of its Subordinated Debt in exchange for, or
         out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Permitted
         Refinancing Debt;

                  (iv) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred
         and is continuing, purchase, repurchase, redeem, legally defease,
         acquire or retire for value Capital Stock from any officer, director or

         Section 4.12. Liens.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary
Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Incur or suffer to exist, any Lien (other
than Permitted Liens or Liens securing Senior Debt) upon any of its Property
(including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue
Date or thereafter acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits
therefrom securing any Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, unless:

         (a) if such Lien secures Senior Subordinated Debt pari passu to the
Notes or any Subsidiary Guaranty, the Notes or the applicable Subsidiary
Guaranty are secured on an equal and ratable basis with such Debt; and

         (b) if such Lien secures Subordinated Debt, such Lien shall be
subordinated to a Lien securing the Notes or the applicable Subsidiary Guaranty
in the same Property as that securing such Lien to the same extent as such
Subordinated Debt is subordinated to the Notes and the Subsidiary Guaranties.

         Section 4.13. Asset Sales.

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

                  (i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives
         consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair
         Market Value of the Property subject to such Asset Sale;

                  (ii) at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Company or
         such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale is in the
         form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that the amount of
         (1) any liabilities (as shown on the Company's or such Restricted
         Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet) of the Company or such
         Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and
         liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any
         Subsidiary Guaranty) that are assumed by the transferee of any such
         Property pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the
         Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability and (2)
         any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or
         such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted
         within 30 days by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash
         (to the extent of the cash received) shall be deemed to be cash for the
         purposes of this provision;

                  (iii) no Default or Event of Default would occur as a result
         of such Asset Sale; and

                  (iv) the Company delivers an Officers' Certificate to the
         Trustee certifying that such Asset Sale complies with the preceding
         clauses (a)(i) through (iii).

         (b) The Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales
may be applied by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any
Debt):

                  (i) to Repay Senior Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary
         Guarantor (excluding, in any such case, any Debt owed to the Company or
         an Affiliate of the Company); or

                  (ii) to reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of
         an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net
         Available Cash received by the Company or another Restricted
         Subsidiary).

                                      -57-
<PAGE>

         (c) Any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale not applied in accordance
with the preceding paragraph within 360 days from the date of the receipt of
such Net Available Cash or that is not segregated from the general funds of the
Company for investment in identified Additional Assets in respect of a project
that shall have been commenced, and for which binding contractual commitments
have been entered into, prior to the end of such 360-day period and that shall
not have been completed or abandoned shall constitute "Excess Proceeds";
provided, further, that the amount of any Net Available Cash applied to complete
a Senior Notes Prepayment Offer which is commenced within 365 days from the date
of the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall be deemed to have been applied
within such 360-day period; provided, further, that the amount of any Net
Available Cash that ceases to be so segregated as contemplated above and any Net
Available Cash that is segregated in respect of a project that is abandoned or
completed shall also constitute "Excess Proceeds" at the time any such Net
Available Cash ceases to be so segregated or at the time the relevant project is
so abandoned or completed, as applicable; provided further, however, that the
amount of any Net Available Cash that continues to be segregated for investment
and that is not actually reinvested within 24 months from the date of the
receipt of such Net Available Cash shall also constitute "Excess Proceeds."

         (d) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million
(taking into account income earned on such Excess Proceeds, if any), the Company
will be required to make an offer to repurchase (the "Prepayment Offer") the
Notes, which offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds
(rounded to the nearest $1,000), on a pro rata basis according to principal
amount, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, including Special Interest, if any, to the purchase
date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the
procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in
this Indenture. To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net Available
Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all
Holders of Notes have been given the opportunity to tender their Notes for
purchase in accordance with this Indenture, the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for any purpose permitted by this
Indenture, and the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

         (e) The term "Allocable Excess Proceeds" means the product of:

                  (i) the Excess Proceeds and

                  (ii) a fraction,

                           (1) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal
                  amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment
                  Offer, and

                           (2) the denominator of which is the sum of the
                  aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the
                  date of the Prepayment Offer and the aggregate principal
                  amount of other Debt of the Company outstanding on the date of
                  the Prepayment Offer that is pari passu in right of payment
                  with the Notes and subject to terms and conditions in respect
                  of Asset Sales similar in all material respects to this
                  Section 4.13 and requiring the Company to make an offer to
                  purchase such Debt at substantially the same time as the
                  Prepayment Offer.

         (f) Within five Business Days after the Company is obligated to make a
Prepayment Offer as described in clause (d) of this Section 4.13, the Company
shall send a written notice, by first-class mail, to the Holders of Notes,
accompanied by such information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as
the Company in good faith believes will enable such Holders to make an informed
decision with respect to such Prepayment Offer. Such notice shall state, among
other things, the purchase price and the pur-

                                      -58-

chase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable
law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date
such notice is mailed.

         (g) The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws
or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this
Section 4.13. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.13, the Company will
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.13 by virtue
thereof.

         Section 4.14. Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted
Subsidiaries.

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to
exist any consensual restriction on the right of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

                  (i) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other
         distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, or pay any Debt or
         other obligation owed, to the Company or any other Restricted
         Subsidiary,

                  (ii) make any loans or advances to the Company or any other
         Restricted Subsidiary, or

                  (iii) transfer any of its Property to the Company or any other
         Restricted Subsidiary.

         (b) The preceding limitations will not apply:

                  (i) with respect to clauses (a)(i), (ii) and (iii), to
         restrictions:

                           (1) in effect on the Issue Date (including, without
                  limitation, restrictions pursuant to the Senior Credit
                  Facility),

                           (2) relating to Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary and
                  existing at the time it became a Restricted Subsidiary if such
                  restriction was not created in connection with or in
                  anticipation of the transaction or series of transactions
                  pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a
                  Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the Company, or

                           (3) that result from the Refinancing of Debt Incurred
                  pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (b)(i)(1) or
                  (2) or in (b)(ii)(1) or (2) of this Section 4.14, provided
                  such restrictions are not materially less favorable, taken as
                  a whole, to the Holders of Notes than those under the
                  agreement evidencing the Debt so Refinanced, and

                  (ii) with respect to clause (a)(iii) of this Section 4.14
         only, to restrictions:

                           (1) relating to Debt that is permitted to be Incurred
                  and secured pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.12 that limit the
                  right of the debtor to dispose of the Property securing such
                  Debt,

                           (2) encumbering Property at the time such Property
                  was acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, so
                  long as such restriction relates solely to the Property so
                  acquired and was not created in connection with or in
                  anticipation of such acquisition,

                                      -59-
<PAGE>

                           (3) resulting from customary provisions restricting
                  subletting or assignment of leases or customary provisions in
                  other agreements that restrict assignment of such agreements
                  or rights thereunder,

                           (4) customary restrictions contained in stock or
                  asset sale agreements limiting the transfer of such Property
                  pending the closing of such sale,

                           (5) customary restrictions contained in joint venture
                  agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and
                  in good faith, or

                           (6) reasonable and customary borrowing base covenants
                  set forth in agreements evidencing Debt otherwise permitted by
                  this Indenture.

         Section 4.15. Transactions with Affiliates.

         (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into or suffer to exist any
transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale,
transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or exchange of any Property or the
rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the
Company (an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

                  (i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are:

                           (1) set forth in writing,

                           (2) in the best interest of the Company or such
                  Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, and

                           (3) no less favorable to the Company or such
                  Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that
                  could be obtained in a comparable arm's-length transaction
                  with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, or, if
                  there is no such comparable transaction, on terms that are
                  fair and reasonable to the Company or such Restricted
                  Subsidiary,

                  (ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments
         or value in excess of $5.0 million, the Board of Directors (including a
         majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors)
         approves such Affiliate Transaction and, in its good faith judgment,
         believes that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clauses
         (a)(i)(2) and (3) of this Section 4.15 as evidenced by a Board
         Resolution promptly delivered to the Trustee, and

                  (iii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate
         payments or value in excess of $25.0 million, the Company obtains a
         written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect
         that the consideration to be paid or received in connection with such
         Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the
         Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

         (b) Notwithstanding the preceding limitation, the following shall not
be Affiliate Transactions:

                  (i) any transaction or series of related transactions between
         the Company and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or
         more Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that no more than 5% of the
         total voting power of the Voting Stock (on a fully diluted basis) of
         any such Restricted Subsidiary is owned by an Affiliate of the Company
         (other than a Restricted Subsidiary);

                  (ii) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to
         Section 4.11 or any Permitted Investment;

                  (iii) any employment agreement or other employee compensation
         plan or arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business of the
         Company or such Restricted Subsidiary and approved by the Board of
         Directors in good faith;

                  (iv) indemnities of officers, directors and employees of the
         Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted by bylaw or
         statutory provisions;

                  (v) the payment of reasonable and customary regular fees to
         directors of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries who are
         not employees of the Company or any Affiliate;

                  (vi) agreements in effect on June 25, 2002 and disclosed in
         the Offering Memorandum (other than the Management Services
         Agreements), without regard to any modifications, extensions or
         renewals thereof; and

                  (vii) the Management Services Agreements, provided that
         payments made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
         under such agreements do not exceed $3.5 million in any fiscal year.

         Section 4.16. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

         (a) The Board of Directors may designate any Subsidiary of the Company
to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if the Subsidiary to be so designated:

                  (i) does not own any Capital Stock or Debt of, or own or hold
         any Lien on any Property of, the Company or any other Restricted
         Subsidiary,

                  (ii) has no Debt other than Debt:

                           (1) as to which neither the Company nor any of its
                  Restricted Subsidiaries (A) provides credit support of any
                  kind (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument that

                  as a Guarantor or otherwise, or (C) constitutes the lender;
                  provided, however, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may
                  loan, advance or extend credit to, or Guarantee the Debt of,
                  an Unrestricted Subsidiary at any time following the date such
                  Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in
                  accordance with Section 4.11,

                           (2) no default with respect to which (including any
                  rights that the holders thereof may have to take enforcement
                  action against an Unrestricted Subsidiary) would permit upon
                  notice, lapse of time or both any holder of any other Debt
                  (other than the Notes or any Guarantee permitted by the
                  proviso to the preceding clause (a)(ii)(1)) of the Company or
                  any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to declare a default on
                  such other Debt or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated

                  (iii) is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or
         understanding with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the
         Company unless the terms of any such agreement, contract, arrangement
         or understanding are no less favorable to the Company or such
         Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the time
         from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company;

                  (iv) is a Person with respect to which neither the Company nor
         any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect
         obligation (1) to subscribe for additional Capital Stock or (2) to
         maintain or preserve such Person's financial condition or to cause such
         Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results;

                  (v) has not Guaranteed or otherwise directly or indirectly
         provided credit support for any Debt of the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries; and

                  (vi) has at least one director on its board of directors that
         is not a director or executive officer of the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries and has at least one executive officer that is
         not a director or executive officer of the Company or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries.

         (b) Unless so designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, any Person that
becomes a Subsidiary of the Company will be classified as a Restricted
Subsidiary; provided, however, that such Subsidiary shall not be designated a
Restricted Subsidiary and shall be automatically classified as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary if either of the requirements set forth in clauses (d)(i) and (ii) of
this Section 4.16 will not be satisfied after giving pro forma effect to such
classification or if such Person is a Subsidiary of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

         (c) Except as provided in the first sentence of clause (a) of this
Section 4.16, no Restricted Subsidiary may be redesignated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any
time be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt that provides that the holder
thereof may (with the passage of time or notice or both) declare a default
thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its
Stated Maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Debt, Lien
or other obligation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take
enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary). Upon designation of a
Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with this
Section 4.16, such Restricted Subsidiary shall, by execution and delivery of a
supplemental indenture, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, be
released from any Subsidiary Guaranty previously made by such Restricted
Subsidiary.

         (d) The Board of Directors may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to
be a Restricted Subsidiary if, immediately after giving pro forma effect to such
designation,

                  (i) the Company could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt
         pursuant to Section 4.10(a)(i), and

                  (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing or would result therefrom.

         (e) Any such designation or redesignation by the Board of Directors
will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution
giving effect to such designation or redesignation and an Officers' Certificate
that:

                  (i) certifies that such designation or redesignation complies
         with the preceding provisions, and

                                      -62-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) gives the effective date of such designation or
         redesignation,

such filing with the Trustee to occur within 45 days after the end of the fiscal
quarter of the Company in which such designation or redesignation is made (or,
in the case of a designation or redesignation made during the last fiscal
quarter of the Company's fiscal year, within 90 days after the end of such
fiscal year).

         Section 4.17. Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of
Control.

         (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall make
an offer to all Holders of the Notes to repurchase all or any part of a Holder's
Notes pursuant to the terms described below (the "Change of Control Offer") at a
purchase price (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Special
Interest, if any, to the repurchase date (subject to the right of Holders on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date).

         (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall:

                  (i) cause a notice of the Change of Control Offer to be sent
         at least once to the Dow Jones News Service or a similar business news
         service in the United States; and

                  (ii) send, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to
         each Holder of Notes, at such Holder's address appearing in the
         Security Register, a notice stating:

                           (1) that a Change of Control has occurred and an
                  offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.17 and that all
                  Notes timely tendered will be accepted for payment;

                           (2) the purchase price and the repurchase date, which
                  shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable
                  law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60
                  days from the date such notice is mailed;

                           (3) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding
                  the Change of Control (including information with respect to
                  pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization
                  after giving effect to the Change of Control); and

                           (4) the procedures that Holders of Notes must follow
                  in order to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for
                  payment, and the procedures that Holders of Notes must follow
                  in order to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions
                  thereof) for payment.

         (c) The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws
or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change
of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.17, the Company will
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.17 by virtue of
such compliance.

         Section 4.18. Future Subsidiary Guarantors.

                  The Company shall cause each Person that becomes a Domestic
Restricted Subsidiary following the Issue Date to execute and deliver to the
Trustee a supplemental indenture to this Indenture,

                                      -63-
<PAGE>

substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, providing for a Subsidiary
Guaranty at the time such Person becomes a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary.

         Section 4.19. Layered Debt.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary
Guarantor to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Debt that is subordinate or
junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt unless such Debt is Senior
Subordinated Debt or is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes
or the Subsidiary Guaranties, as the case may be. In addition, no Subsidiary
Guarantor shall Guarantee, directly or indirectly, any Debt of the Company that
is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt unless such
Guarantee is expressly subordinate in right of payment to, or ranks pari passu
with, the Subsidiary Guaranty of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

         Section 4.20. Business Activities.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary, to, directly or indirectly, engage in any business other than the
Permitted Business.

         Section 4.21. Covenant Suspension.

         (a) During any period of time that:

                  (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating
         Agencies; and

                  (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
         continuing under this Indenture,

the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following
provisions of this Indenture:

         -        Section 4.09,

         -        Section 4.10,

         -        Section 4.11,

         -        Section 5.01(a)(v), (a)(vi), (b)(v) and (b)(vi)

(collectively, the "Suspended Covenants").

         (b) In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are
not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of
clause (a) of this Section 4.21 and, subsequently,

                                      -64-
<PAGE>

one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its ratings or downgrades the
ratings assigned to the Notes below the required Investment Grade Ratings or a
Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Company and the
Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended
Covenants, and compliance with the Suspended Covenants with respect to
Restricted Payments made after the time of such withdrawal, downgrade, Default
or Event of Default will be calculated in accordance with the terms of Section
4.11 as though such Section 4.11 had been in effect during the entire period of
time from the Issue Date, it being understood that no actions taken by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the suspension period shall
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Suspended Covenants.

                           (1) is for relief against the Company or any
                  Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case,

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

                           (3) orders the liquidation of the Company or any
                  Significant Subsidiary, and the order or decree remains
                  unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or

                  (ix) any Subsidiary Guaranty relating to the Notes ceases to
         be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of
         such Subsidiary Guaranty), or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies or
         disaffirms its obligations under its Subsidiary Guaranty relating to
         the Notes.

         (b) A Default under clause (a)(iv) is not an Event of Default in
respect of the Notes until the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding notify the Company of the
Default, and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified
after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that
it be remedied and state that such notice is a "Notice of Default."

         Section 6.02. Acceleration.

         (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a)(vii) or (a)(viii)), shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding may declare to be immediately due and payable the
principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid
interest, including Special Interest, if any, to the date of acceleration. In
the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(vii) or (a)(viii),
such amount with respect to all the Notes will become due and payable
immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or
the Holders. Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in this Indenture.

         (b) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of the
acceleration of any Debt described in Section 6.01(a)(v), the declaration of
acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the holders of any
Debt described in Section 6.01(a)(v) have rescinded the declaration of
acceleration in respect of such Debt within 30 days of the date of such
declaration and if (i) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not
conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, and
(ii) all existing Events of

                                      -68-
<PAGE>

Default, except nonpayment of principal or interest on the Notes that became due
solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.

         Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

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

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

         Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

                  Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of
the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default
and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default
in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including
Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes; provided, however, that after any
acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration is obtained
by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding may rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of
Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, premium, if any, or
interest, including Special Interest, if any, have been cured or waived as
provided in this Indenture. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

         Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

                  Subject to Section 7.01, in case an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the Trustee will not be under any obligation to
exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the
Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to Section 7.07, the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding will 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 with respect to the Notes.

         Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

         (a) No Holder will have any right to institute any proceeding with
respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or
for any remedy hereunder, unless:

                  (i) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written
         notice of a continuing Event of Default,

                  (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
         of Notes then outstanding under this Indenture have made written
         request and offered reasonable indemnity to the Trustee to institute
         such proceeding as trustee, and

                                      -69-
<PAGE>

                  (iii) the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of
         a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding a
         direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to
         institute such proceeding within 60 days.

However, the preceding limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder
for enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or
interest, including Special Interest, if any, on, a Note on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Note.

         (b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Holder.

         Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

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

         Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

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

         Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

         Section 6.10. Priorities.

         (a) If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it

         due under Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, expenses

         costs and expenses of collection;

                  Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for

         to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if
         any, and interest, including Special Interest, if any, respectively;
         and

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

         (b) The Trustee 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 a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by
any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit,
and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a
Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

                                   ARTICLE 7.

         Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

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

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

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

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

                                      -71-
<PAGE>

         ever, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions 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).

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

                  (i) this clause (c) does not limit the effect of clause (b) of
         this Section 7.01;

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

                  (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
         action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
         direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to clauses (a),
(b) and (c) of this Section 7.01.

         (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend
or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the
request or direction of any Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to
the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense.

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

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.

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

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

         (d) 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 the rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

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

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

         (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or
Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a

at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the
specific Default or Event of Default, the Notes and this Indenture.

         (h) Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated

the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is
also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

         Section 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer.

                  The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no

any money paid to the Company or upon the Company's direction under any
provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or
application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee,

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

                  If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and
if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the
Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs unless such Default
or Event of Default has since been cured. Except in the case of a Default or
Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest,

         Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

         (a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 2004, and
for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a
brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section
313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the
12 months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The
Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also
transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).

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

         Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

         (a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its acceptance of its duties under this Indenture and services
hereunder as agreed to in writing. The Trustee's compensation shall not be
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company
shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable
disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the
compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.

         (b) The Company shall indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee
against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or
expenses, including incidental and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable
attorneys fees ("losses") incurred by it arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including
the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company
(including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether
asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder, except to the extent any such losses may be attributable to its
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the
Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the
Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its
obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall
cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel, and the Company
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not
pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

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

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

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

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

the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company,
or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

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

Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

         Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

                  If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee. As soon as practicable, the successor Trustee shall mail a
notice of its succes-

                                      -75-

                    LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

         Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

                  The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have
either Section 8.02 or 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance
with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

         Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 of the option
applicable to this Section 8.02, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 8.04, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged
from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes, and each Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with
respect to its Subsidiary Guaranty, on the date the conditions set forth below
are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal
Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be
deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other
Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have
satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture, and
each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to have satisfied all its obligations
under its Subsidiary Guaranty and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of
and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of
outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section
8.04, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest, including Special Interest, if any,
on, such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with
respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02, (c) the rights, powers,
trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company's
obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. If the Company
exercises under

                                      -76-
<PAGE>

Section 8.01 the option applicable to this Section 8.02, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, payment of the Notes
may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. Subject to compliance
with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03.

         Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from its obligations
under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04(b), 4.05, 4.09 through 4.18
and 4.20 through 4.21, and the limitations of Section 5.01(a)(v), (a)(vi),
(b)(v) and (b)(vi), with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date
the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant
Defeasance"), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the
purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and
the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall
continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being
understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant
to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01,
but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes
shall be unaffected thereby. If the Company exercises under Section 8.01 the
option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04, payment of the Notes may not be
accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 (a)(iii)
(with respect to the covenants contained in Sections 5.01(a)(v), (a)(vi), (b)(v)
or (b)(vi) only), (a)(iv) (with respect to the covenants contained in Sections
4.03, 4.04(b), 4.05, 4.09 through 4.18 and 4.20 through 4.21), (a)(v), (a)(vi),
(a)(vii) and (a)(viii) (but in the case of clauses (a)(vii) and (a)(viii), with
respect to Significant Subsidiaries only). If the Company exercises its Covenant
Defeasance option, each Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from all its
obligations under its Subsidiary Guaranty.

         Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

                  The Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option may
be exercised only if:

         (a) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or
U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, premium, if any,
and interest, including Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes to be defeased
to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

         (b) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally
recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressing their
opinion that the payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, including
Special Interest, if any, when due and without reinvestment on the deposited
U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will
provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay
principal, premium, if any, and interest, including Special Interest, if any,
when due on all the Notes to be defeased to maturity or redemption, as the case
may be;

         (c) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on
the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto;

                                      -77-
<PAGE>

         (d) such deposit does not constitute a default under any other
agreement or instrument binding on the Company;

         (e) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is
qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940;

         (f) in the case of the Legal Defeasance option, the Company delivers to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

                  (i) the Company has received from the Internal Revenue Service
         a ruling, or

                  (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change
         in the applicable Federal income tax law, to the effect, in either
         case, that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm
         that, the Holders of the Notes to be defeased will not recognize
         income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of
         such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same
         amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the
         case if such defeasance had not occurred;

         (g) in the case of the Covenant Defeasance option, the Company delivers
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Notes
to be defeased will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as
would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; and

         (h) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance
and discharge of the Notes to be defeased have been complied with as required by
this Indenture.

         Section 8.05. Deposited Money And Government Securities To Be Held In
Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

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

         (b) The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax,
fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest
received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which
by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

         (c) Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request
of the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided
in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the certification delivered under
Section 8.04(b)), are in excess of the amount thereof

                                      -78-
<PAGE>

that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

         Section 8.06. Repayment to Company.

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

         Section 8.07. Reinstatement.

                  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United
States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or
8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Company's obligations under this Indenture and the Notes
and each Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture and its
Subsidiary Guaranty shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section
8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest, including Special Interest, if any, on, any Note following the
reinstatement of its obligations, then it shall be subrogated to the rights of
the Holders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent.

for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture
supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date,
or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to

effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders to such Holder's address
appearing in the Security Register a notice briefly describing the amendment,
supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any

                  (iv) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in
         the Note,

                  (v) impair the right of any Holder of the Notes to receive

         which the Change of Control Offer must be made or at which the Notes
         must be repurchased pursuant to such Change of Control Offer,

         Section 9.05. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

                              SUBSIDIARY GUARANTIES

         Section 10.01. Subsidiary Guaranty.

         (a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors
hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally Guarantees to each Holder of a
Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its
successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this
Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder,
that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, including Special
Interest, if any, on, the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether
at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the
overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest, including Special Interest,
if any on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Company to the
Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or
performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case
of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
Obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated
Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount
so Guaranteed or any performance so Guaranteed for whatever reason, the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of
payment and not a guarantee of collection.

         (b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Obligations with
regard to this Subsidiary Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes or the Obligations
of the Company under this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the
same, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect
to the same by the Holders or the Trustee, the recovery of any judgment against
the Company or any other obligor with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or
the Obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes, any action to
enforce the same or any other circumstances (other than complete performance)
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further, to the extent permitted
by law, waives and relinquishes all claims, rights and remedies accorded by
applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any
such claims, rights or remedies, including but not limited to: (i) any right to
require any of the Trustee, the Holders or the Company (each a "Benefited
Party"), as a condition of payment or performance by such Subsidiary Guarantor,
to (1) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor (including any other
Subsidiary Guarantor) of the Obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranties or any
other Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company,
any such other guarantor or any other Person, (3) proceed against or have resort
to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Benefited
Party in favor of the Company or any other Person, or (4) pursue any other
remedy in the power of any Benefited Party whatsoever; (ii) any defense arising
by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other
defense of the Company including any defense based on or arising out of the lack
of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations under the Subsidiary
Guaranties or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the
cessation of the liability of the Company from any cause other than payment in
full of the Obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranties; (iii) any defense based
upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the Obligation of a surety
must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that
of the principal; (iv) any defense based upon any Benefited Party's errors or
omissions in the administration of the Obligations under the Subsidiary
Guaranties, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (v)(1) any principles or
provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict
with the terms of the Subsidiary Guaranties and any legal or equitable discharge
of such Subsidiary Guarantor's Obligations hereunder, (2) the benefit of any
statute of

                                      -83-

limitations affecting such Subsidiary Guarantor's liability hereunder or the
enforcement hereof, (3) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims
and (4) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Benefited Party
protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien on any Property
subject thereto; (vi) notices, demands, presentations, protests, notices of
protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including
acceptance of the Subsidiary Guaranties, notices of default under the Notes or
any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension
or modification of the Obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranties or any
agreement related thereto, and notices of any extension of credit to the Company
and any right to consent to any thereof; (vii) to the extent permitted under
applicable law, the benefits of any "One Action" rule; and (viii) any defenses
or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the
liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the
terms of the Subsidiary Guaranties. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby covenants
that its Subsidiary Guaranty shall not be discharged except as provided in
Section 10.05 or by complete performance of the Obligations contained in its
Subsidiary Guaranty and this Indenture.

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

         (d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to
any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
Obligations Guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Obligations
Guaranteed hereby. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the
Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the
other hand, (i) the maturity of the Obligations Guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Subsidiary
Guaranty, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration in respect of the Obligations Guaranteed hereby and (ii) in
the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in
Article 6, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of this
Subsidiary Guaranty. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment or
distribution under a Subsidiary Guaranty shall be entitled to a contribution
from each other Subsidiary Guarantor and the Company in a pro rata amount based
on the proportion that the net worth of the Company or the relevant Subsidiary
Guarantor represents relative to the aggregate net worth of the Company and all
of the Subsidiary Guarantors combined.

Section 10.02. Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability.

                  Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes,
each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that
the Subsidiary Guaranty of such Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Federal or state law to the extent
applicable to any Subsidiary Guaranty. To effectuate the foregoing intention,
the Trustee, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 10 shall be
limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to such maximum
amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary
Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, including, if applicable, its
Guarantee of all Obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, and after giving
effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments
made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the
Obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 10, result in
the Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guaranty not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Federal or state law.

         Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery Of Subsidiary Guaranty.

         (a) To evidence its Subsidiary Guaranty set forth in this Article 10,
each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary
Guaranty in substantially the form included in Exhibit E shall be endorsed by
the manual or facsimile signature of an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor on
each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture
shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by the manual or
facsimile signature of an Officer of the Subsidiary Guarantor.

         (b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary
Guaranty set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such
Subsidiary Guaranty.

         (c) If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the
notation of Subsidiary Guaranty no longer holds that office at the time the
Trustee authenticates the Note on which a notation of Subsidiary Guaranty is
endorsed, the Subsidiary Guaranty shall be valid nevertheless.

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

         Section 10.04. Additional Subsidiary Guarantors.

                  The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause any Person
which becomes obligated to Guarantee the Notes pursuant to the terms of Section
4.18 hereof to execute a supplemental indenture, substantially in the form of
Exhibit F hereto, pursuant to which such Subsidiary Guarantor shall Guarantee
the Obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture in accordance
with this Article 10 with the same effect and to the same extent as if such
Person had been named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor.

         Section 10.05. Release of Subsidiary Guarantor.

                  A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from all of its
Obligations under its Subsidiary Guaranty and this Indenture if:

         (a) the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor has sold all or
substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor; or

         (b) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries have sold all of the
Capital Stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor owned by them, in each case in a
transaction in compliance with Sections 4.13 or 5.01(b) (as applicable); and in
each such case, the Subsidiary Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transactions have been
complied with.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon designation of a
Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with Section
4.16, such Restricted Subsidiary shall, by execution and delivery of a
supplemental indenture, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, be
released from any Subsidiary Guaranty previously made by such Restricted
Subsidiary and its obligations under this Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE 11.

                                  SUBORDINATION

         Section 11.01. Agreement to Subordinate.

                  The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note
agrees, that the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest,
including Special Interest, if any, on, and all other amounts payable in respect
of, the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the
manner provided in this Article 11, to the payment when due in cash of all
Senior Debt of the Company and that the subordination is for the benefit of and
enforceable by the holders of such Senior Debt. The Notes shall in all respects
rank pari passu with any future Senior Subordinated Debt and senior to all
existing and future Subordinated Debt of the Company, and only Senior Debt shall
rank senior to the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All
provisions of this Article 11 shall be subject to Section 11.12. All references
to "Senior Debt" in this Article 11 are to Senior Debt of the Company.

         Section 11.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.

         (a) Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company to
creditors upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or in a
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding
relating to the Company or its Property or upon an assignment for the benefit of
the Company's creditors or the marshaling of its asset and liabilities, the
holders of Senior Debt will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash
before the Holders of the Notes are entitled to receive any payment of principal
of, premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on, the
Notes, except that Holders of Notes may receive and retain Permitted Junior
Securities; and

         (b) Until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, any distribution to
which Holders of the Notes would be entitled but for this Article 11 will be
made to holders of the Senior Debt as their interests may appear.

         Section 11.03. Default on Senior Debt.

                  The Company may not pay principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest, including Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes, or make any deposit
pursuant to Section 8.04, and may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire any
Notes (collectively, "pay the Notes") if (a) any principal, premium, interest or
any other amount payable in respect of any Senior Debt is not paid within any
applicable grace period (including at maturity) or (b) any other default on
Senior Debt occurs and the maturity of such Senior Debt is accelerated in
accordance with its terms unless, in either case, (1) the default has been cured
or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or (2) such Senior Debt
has been paid in full in cash; provided, however, that the Company may pay the
Notes without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive
written notice approving such payment from the Representative of such issue of
Senior Debt. During the continuance of any default (other than a default
described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence) with respect to any
Designated Senior Debt pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated
immediately without further notice (except any notice required to effect the
acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace period, the Company may
not pay the Notes for a period (a "Payment Blockage Period") commencing upon the
receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of such default from
the Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Debt specifying an
election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a "Payment Blockage Notice") and
ending 179 days thereafter (unless such Payment Blockage Notice is earlier
terminated (a) by written notice to the Trustee and the Company from the
Representative that gave such Payment Blockage Notice, (b) be-

                                      -86-
<PAGE>

cause such default is no longer continuing or (c) because such Designated Senior
Debt has been repaid in full in cash). Unless the holders of such Designated
Senior Debt or the Representative of such holders have accelerated the maturity
of such Designated Senior Debt and not rescinded such acceleration, the Company
may (unless otherwise prohibited as described in the first two sentences of this
paragraph) resume payments on the Notes after the end of such Payment Blockage
Period. Not more than one Payment Blockage Notice with respect to all issues of
Designated Senior Debt may be given in any consecutive 360-day period,
irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to one or more issues of
Designated Senior Debt during such period.

         Section 11.04. Acceleration of Payment of Securities.

                  If payment of the Notes is accelerated when Designated Senior
Debt is outstanding, the Company may not pay the Notes until three Business Days
after the Representatives of all issues of Designated Senior Debt receive notice
of such acceleration and, thereafter, may pay the Notes only if this Indenture
otherwise permits payment at that time.

         Section 11.05. When Distribution Must be Paid Over.

                  If a payment or distribution is made to holders that because
of this Article 11 should not have been made to them, the Trustee or the holders
who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Debt
and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.

         Section 11.06. Subrogation.

                  After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are
paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior
Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt. A distribution made
under this Article 11 to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have been
made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the
Company on such Senior Debt.

         Section 11.07. Relative Rights.

                  This Article 11 defines the relative rights of Holders and
holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

         (a) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium, if
any, and interest, including Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes in
accordance with their terms; or

         (b) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available
remedies upon an Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior
Debt to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders.

         Section 11.08. Subordination May Not be Impaired by Company.

                  No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the
subordination of the Debt evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or
failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.

<PAGE>

         Section 11.09. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

                  Notwithstanding Section 11.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent may
continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge
of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments
unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a
Responsible Officer receives notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be
made under this Article 11. The Company, the Registrar or co-registrar, the
Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt may give the notice;
provided, however, that, if an issue of Senior Debt has a Representative, only
the Representative may give the notice.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold
Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The
Registrar and co-registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like
rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article 11 with respect to any Senior Debt that may at any time be held by it,
to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Debt; and nothing in
Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing
in this Article 11 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under
or pursuant to Section 7.07.

         Section 11.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative.

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

         Section 11.11. Article 11 Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit
Right to Accelerate.

                  Nothing in this Article 11 shall prevent an Event of Default
in accordance with Article 6 or have any effect on the right of the Holders or
the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the Notes or to exercise the rights
and remedies in Article 6.

         Section 11.12. Trust Moneys Not Subordinated.

                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust
under Article 8 by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on
the Notes shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Debt or
subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 11, and none of the
Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or any
holder of Senior Debt or any other creditor of the Company.

         Section 11.13. Trustee Entitled to Rely.

                  Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 11,
the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (a) upon any order or
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the
nature referred to in Section 11.02 are pending, (b) upon a certificate of the
liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution
to the Trustee or to the Holders or (c) upon the Representative for the holders
of Senior Debt for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and
other Debt of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or
amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to
this Article 11. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that
evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of
Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this
Article 11, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Debt held
by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in
such payment or distribution and

                                      -88-
<PAGE>

other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 11, and,
if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such
Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive
such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to
all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 11.

         Section 11.14. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

                  Each Holder by accepting a Note authorizes and directs the
Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders
of Senior Debt as provided in this Article 11 and appoints the Trustee as
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

         Section 11.15. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt.

                  The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to
the holders of Senior Debt and shall be liable to any such holders if it shall
mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the Company or any other Person,
money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue
of this Article 11 or otherwise.

         Section 11.16. Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt on Subordination
Provisions.

                  Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that
the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an
inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Debt, whether such
Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Note, to
acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt and such
holder of such Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such
subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing
to hold, such Senior Debt.

                                   ARTICLE 12.

                     SUBORDINATION OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

         Section 12.01. Agreement to Subordinate.

                  Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by accepting
a Note agrees, that the Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor are
subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in
this Article 12, to the payment when due in cash of all Senior Debt of such
Subsidiary Guarantor and that the subordination is for the benefit of and
enforceable by the holders of such Senior Debt. The Obligations of a Subsidiary
Guarantor shall in all respects rank pari passu with any future Senior
Subordinated Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor and senior to all existing and
future Subordinated Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and only Senior Debt
shall rank senior to the Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance
with the provisions set forth herein. All references to "Obligations" in this
Article 12 are to Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiary
Guaranties.

         Section 12.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.

         (a) Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of any Subsidiary
Guarantor to creditors upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of such
Subsidiary Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to such Subsidiary Guarantor or its
Prop-

                                      -89-
<PAGE>

erty or upon an assignment for the benefit of the Subsidiary Guarantor's
creditors or the marshaling of its asset and liabilities, holders of Senior Debt
of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to receive payment in full in
cash of such Senior Debt before Holders shall be entitled to receive any payment
pursuant to any Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

         (b) Until the Senior Debt of any Subsidiary Guarantor is paid in full
in cash, any distribution made by or on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor to
which Holders would be entitled but for this Article 12 shall be made to holders
of the Senior Debt as their interests may appear.

         Section 12.03. Default on Senior Debt of Subsidiary Guarantor.

                  No Subsidiary Guarantor may make any payment pursuant to any
of its Obligations or repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire or defease any
Notes or other Obligations (collectively, "pay its Subsidiary Guaranty") if (a)
any principal, premium, interest or other amount payable in respect of any
Senior Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor is not paid within any applicable grace
period (including at maturity) or (b) any other default on Senior Debt of such
Subsidiary Guarantor occurs and the maturity of such Senior Debt is accelerated
in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, (i) the default has been
cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or (ii) such Senior
Debt has been paid in full in cash; provided, however, that any Subsidiary
Guarantor may pay its Subsidiary Guaranty without regard to the foregoing if
such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee receive written notice approving such
payment from the Representative of such issue of Senior Debt of such Subsidiary
Guarantor. No Subsidiary Guarantor may pay its Subsidiary Guaranty during the
continuance of any Payment Blockage Period after receipt by the Company and the
Trustee of a Payment Blockage Notice under Section 11.03. Unless the holders of
Designated Senior Debt giving such Payment Blockage Notice or the Representative
of such holders shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior
Debt and not rescinded such acceleration, any Subsidiary Guarantor may resume
(unless otherwise prohibited as described in the first two sentences of this
paragraph) resume payments pursuant to its Subsidiary Guaranty after the end of
such Payment Blockage Period.

         Section 12.04. Demand for Payment.

                  If a demand for payment is made on a Subsidiary Guarantor
pursuant to Article 10, such Subsidiary Guarantor may not pay its Subsidiary
Guaranty until three Business Days after the Representatives of all issues of
Designated Senior Debt receive notice of such demand and, thereafter, may pay
its Subsidiary Guaranty only if this Indenture otherwise permits payment at that
time.

         Section 12.05. When Distribution Must be Paid Over.

                  If a payment or distribution is made to holders that because
of this Article 12 should not have been made to them, the Trustee or the Holders
who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of the relevant
Senior Debt and pay it over to them or their Representatives as their interests
may appear.

         Section 12.06. Subrogation.

                  After all Senior Debt of a Subsidiary Guarantor is paid in
full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the
rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior
Debt. A distribution made under this Article 12 to holders of such Senior Debt
that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the relevant
Subsidiary Guarantor and Holders, a payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor on such
Senior Debt.

<PAGE>

         Section 12.07. Relative Rights.

                  This Article 12 defines the relative rights of Holders and
holders of Senior Debt of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Nothing in this Indenture
shall:

         (a) impair, as between a Subsidiary Guarantor and Holders, the
obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay the Obligations to the extent set forth in Article 10; or

         (b) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available
remedies upon a default by such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Obligations,
subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor to
receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders.

         Section 12.08. Subordination May Not be Impaired by Subsidiary
Guarantor.

                  No right of any holder of Senior Debt of any Subsidiary
Guarantor to enforce the subordination of the Obligation of such Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by such Subsidiary
Guarantor or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.

         Section 12.09. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

                  Notwithstanding Section 12.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent may
continue to make payments on any Subsidiary Guaranty and shall not be charged
with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any
such payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such
payment, a Trust Officer receives written notice satisfactory to it that
payments may not be made under this Article 12. The Company, the relevant
Subsidiary Guarantor, the Registrar or co-registrar, the Paying Agent, a
Representative or a holder of Senior Debt of any Subsidiary Guarantor may give
the notice; provided, however, that, if an issue of Senior Debt of any
Subsidiary Guarantor has a Representative, only the Representative may give the
notice.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold
Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The
Registrar and co-registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like
rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article 12 with respect to any Senior Debt of any Subsidiary Guarantor that may
at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior
Debt; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as
such holder. Nothing in this Article 12 shall apply to claims of, or payments
to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07.

         Section 12.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative.

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

         Section 12.11. Article 12 Not to Prevent Events of Default Under a
Subsidiary Guaranty or Limit Right to Demand Payment.

                  Nothing in this Article 12 shall prevent a default under any
Subsidiary Guaranty or have any effect on the right of the Holders or the
Trustee to make a demand for payment on any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to
Article 10.

                  Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12,
the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (i) upon any order or
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the
nature referred to in Section 12.02 are pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the
liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution
to the Trustee or to the Holders or (iii) upon the Representatives for the
holders of Senior Debt of any Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of
ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other Debt of such Subsidiary
Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12.
In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is
required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt of
any Subsidiary Guarantor to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant
to this Article 12, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt of
such Subsidiary Guarantor held by such Person, the extent to which such Person
is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts
pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 12, and, if such
evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person
pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such
payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to all
actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 12.

         Section 12.13. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

                  Each Holder by accepting a Note authorizes and directs the
Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders
of Senior Debt of any Subsidiary Guarantor as provided in this Article 12 and
appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

         Section 12.14. Trustee Not Fiduciary For Holders of Senior Debt of
Subsidiary Guarantor.

                  The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to
the holders of Senior Debt of any Subsidiary Guarantor and shall not be liable
to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or
the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of such
Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 12 or otherwise.

         Section 12.15. Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt of a Subsidiary
Guarantor on Subordination Provisions.

                  Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that
the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an
inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Debt of any
Subsidiary Guarantor, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or
after the issuance of the Note, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue
to hold, such Senior Debt and such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed
conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and
continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt.

registration of transfer or exchange of Notes expressly provided for herein, the
Company's obligations under Section 7.07, and the Trustee's and each Paying
Agent's obligations under Sections 13.02 and 13.03), when:

                  (i) either:

                           (1) all Notes that have been authenticated (except

                  paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been
                  deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company) have
                  been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

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

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

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

                  (iv) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the
         Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money and/or U.S.
         Government Obligations toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or
         the redemption date, as the case may be.

         (b) The Company shall deliver an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction
and discharge have been satisfied.

         Section 13.02. Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in
Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

                  Subject to Section 13.03, all money and U.S. Government
Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 13.02, the
"Trustee") pursuant to Section 13.01 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall
be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions
of such Notes and this Indenture, to

                                      -93-
<PAGE>

the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal,
premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, but such money need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

         Section 13.03. Repayment to Company.

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

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

                  1. INTEREST. Technical Olympic USA, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Issuer"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of
this Note at 7 1/2% per annum until maturity and shall pay Special Interest, if
any, as provided in Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement. The Issuer
shall pay interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or
if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each
an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid,
from the date of issuance; provided, however, that if there is no existing
Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a
record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment
Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be September
15, 2004. The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any,
from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate
then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest
(without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at
the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

                  2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer shall pay interest on the
Notes to the Holders at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 next
preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such
record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in
Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes
shall be payable as

                                      A-3
<PAGE>

to principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, at the
office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose within or without the
City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest
may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the
Security Register; provided, however, that payment by wire transfer of
immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, and
interest and Special Interest, if any, and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes
and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer
instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such
coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The principal of the Notes
shall be payable only upon surrender of any Note at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee or at the specified offices of any other Paying Agent. If any
Interest Payment Date for, or the due date for payment of the principal of, the
Notes is not a Business Day at the place in which it is presented for payment,
the Holder thereof shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the
next succeeding Business Day at such place and shall not be entitled to any
further interest or other payment in respect of such delay.

                  3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent
and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such
capacity.

                  4. INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture
dated as of March 17, 2004 ("Indenture") among the Issuer, the guarantors party
thereto (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes
include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by
reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code Sections
77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred
to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any
provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture,
the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are
obligations of the Issuer unlimited in aggregate principal amount, except only
$125,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be issued on the
Issue Date.

                  5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

                  (a) Except as set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section
5, the Notes will not be redeemable at the option of the Issuer prior to March
15, 2008. Starting on that date, the Issuer may redeem all or any portion of the
Notes, at once or over time, after giving the required notice under the
Indenture. The Notes may be redeemed at the redemption prices set forth below,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Special Interest, if any, to the
redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). The following
prices are for Notes redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on March 15
of the years set forth below, and are expressed as percentages of principal
amount:

<PAGE>

                  (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
         and

                  (ii) the sum of the present values of (1) the redemption price
         of the Notes at March 15, 2008 (as set forth in clause (a) of this
         Section 5) and (2) the remaining scheduled payments of interest from
         the redemption date to March 15, 2008, but excluding accrued and unpaid
         interest to the redemption date, discounted to the redemption date at
         the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, including Special Interest,
if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

                  Any notice to Holders of a redemption pursuant to this clause
(b) shall include the appropriate calculation of the redemption price, but need
not include the redemption price itself. The actual redemption price, calculated
as described in this clause (b), shall be set forth in an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption
date (unless clause (2) of the definition of "Comparable Treasury Price" is
applicable, in which case, such Officers' Certificate will be delivered on the
redemption date).

                  (c) At any time and from time to time prior to March 15, 2007,
the Issuer may redeem up to a maximum of 35% of the aggregate principal amount
of the Notes (including any Additional Notes) that have been issued under the
Indenture on or after the Issue Date with the proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings, at a redemption price equal to 107.50% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Special Interest, if any,
to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record
date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); provided,
however, that after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including any Additional Notes) that
have been issued under the Indenture on or after the Issue Date remains
outstanding. Any such redemption shall be made within 75 days of such Equity
Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice.

                  (d) Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture.

                  6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuer shall not be required to
make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

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

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

                                      A-5
<PAGE>

                  9. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered holder of a Note may
be treated as its owner for all purposes.

                  10. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class, and any existing default or
compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with
the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class. Without the consent of
any Holder, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to: cure
any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; provide for the assumption by
a Surviving Person of the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture or of a
Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture or its Subsidiary Guaranty; provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided
that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of
Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes
are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); add additional Guarantees
with respect to the Notes or to release Subsidiary Guarantors from Subsidiary
Guaranties as provided by the terms of the Indenture; secure the Notes, add to
the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or
surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer; make any change that
does not adversely affect in any material respect the rights of any Holder of
the Notes under the Indenture; make any change to the subordination provisions
of the Indenture that would limit or terminate the benefits available to any
holder of Senior Debt under such provisions (subject to the consent of such
holders of Senior Debt pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Indenture); comply with
any requirement of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the
Indenture under the TIA; or provide for the issuance of additional Notes in
accordance with the Indenture. No amendment or supplement may be made to the
subordination provisions of this Indenture that adversely affects the rights of
any holder of Senior Debt then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior
Debt (or their Representative) consents to such change.

                  11. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Each of the following is an Event
of Default under the Indenture: (1) failure to make the payment of any interest,
including Special Interest, on the Notes issued under the Indenture when the
same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for a period of 30
days; (2) failure to make the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any,
on, any of the Notes issued under the Indenture when the same becomes due and
payable at their Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, required
repurchase or otherwise; (3) failure to comply with Section 5.01 of the
Indenture; (4) failure to comply with any other covenant or agreement in the
Notes or in the Indenture (other than a failure that is the subject of the
preceding clause (1), (2) or (3)), and such failure continues for 30 days after
written notice is given to the Issuer as provided in Section 6.01(b) of the
Indenture; (5) a default under any Debt (other than Non-Recourse Debt) by the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that results in acceleration of the maturity
of such Debt, or failure to pay any such Debt at maturity, in an aggregate
amount greater than $10.0 million; (6) any judgment or judgments for the payment
of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $10.0 million that shall be
rendered against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and that shall not be
waived, satisfied or discharged for any period of 30 consecutive days during
which a stay of enforcement shall not be in effect; (7) certain events involving
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or any Significant
Subsidiary; and (8) any Subsidiary Guaranty relating to the Notes ceases to be
in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such
Subsidiary Guaranty), or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its
obligations under its Subsidiary Guaranty relating to the Notes. A Default under
clause (4) is not an Event of Default in respect of the Notes until the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then
outstanding notify the Issuer of the Default, and the Issuer does not cure such
Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. If any Event of
Default (other than under clause (7)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. In the case of an
Event of Default under clause (7), all

                                      A-6
<PAGE>

outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders. Holders may
not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. In
the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of the acceleration of any
Debt described in clause (5), the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall
be automatically annulled if the holders of any Debt described in clause (5)
have rescinded the declaration of acceleration in respect of such Debt within 30
days of the date of such declaration and if (i) the annulment of the
acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction, and (ii) all existing Events of Default, except
nonpayment of principal or interest on the Notes that became due solely because
of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.
The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event
of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any) if
it determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders.
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all
of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences
under the Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of interest or Special Interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. The
Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding
compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required upon becoming aware of
any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement
specifying such Default or Event of Default.

                  12. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

                  13. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future
director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of the
Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor as such, shall have any liability for any
Obligations of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
Obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the Notes.

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

                  15. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the
name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT
(= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of
survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (=
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

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

                  The Issuer shall furnish to any Holder upon written request
and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:
