such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary or such acquisition; PROVIDED that,
for purposes of Section 1010, such Indebtedness shall be deemed to be incurred
on the date of the related acquisition of assets from any Person or the date the
acquired Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary.

Company on the Transaction

                                       4

Date shall be deemed to have been an Unrestricted Subsidiary at all times during
such fiscal quarter. In addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, for
purposes of this definition, "Consolidated Operating Cash Flow" shall be
calculated after giving effect on a PRO FORMA basis for the applicable fiscal
quarter to, without duplication, any Asset Sales or Asset Acquisitions
(including, without limitation, any Asset Acquisition giving rise to the need to
make such calculation as a result of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
(including any Person who becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the
Asset Acquisition) incurring, assuming or otherwise being liable for Acquired
Indebtedness) occurring during the period commencing on the first day of such
fiscal quarter to and including the Transaction Date (the "Reference Period"),
as if such Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition occurred on the first day of the
Reference Period.

means of transfers of cash or other property to others or payments for property
or services for the account or use of others, or otherwise) by the Company or

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

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

                  (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

                  (c) The principal amount at maturity and serial numbers of
Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved

                  (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of
Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders
entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.
Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date
specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not
earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders
generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation
is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given
before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of
business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of
determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding
Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that
purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date;
PROVIDED that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such
record date shall be deemed

<PAGE>
                                       30

effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date.

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

                  SECTION 105.  NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE, COMPANY.

                  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by
this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

                  (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
         filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,
         Attention: Corporate Trust Manager, or

                  (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
         expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
         prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal
         office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture, or at any
         other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the
         Company.

                  SECTION 106.  NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER.

                  Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to
Holders by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given
(unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his
address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date,
and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such
notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed
shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or
not such Holder actually receives such notice. Where this Indenture provides for
notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person
entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.

<PAGE>
                                       31

Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing
shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.

                  In case by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in
regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable
to mail notice of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such
notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a
sufficient giving of such notice for every purpose hereunder.

                  SECTION 107.  EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS.

                  The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of
Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

                  SECTION 108.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

                  All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company
shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

                  SECTION 109.  SEPARABILITY CLAUSE.

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

                  SECTION 110.  BENEFITS OF INDENTURE.

                  Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or
implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Paying
Agent, any Security Registrar and their successors hereunder and the Holders any
benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

                  SECTION 111.  GOVERNING LAW.

                  This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. This Indenture
shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required
to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by
such provisions; and, if and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture
limits, qualifies or conflicts with any other provision included in this
Indenture which is required to be included in this Indenture by any of Sections
310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall
control.

exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary

pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute

the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of
any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal
amount.

                  At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for
other Securities of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate
principal amount at maturity, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged
at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall

                                       39

authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.

                  All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing

payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 801, 906, 1016, 1017
or 1108 not involving any transfer.

business 15 days before the selection of Securities to be redeemed under Section
1104 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing of the

Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Securities of like
tenor and amount.

                  (d) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global
Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, the

                           name of such transferee in principal amount equal to
                           the principal amount being transferred of such
                           surrendered Physical Security; or

                                    (ii) delivers (or is deemed to have
                           delivered pursuant to clause (d) above) a Rule 144A
                           Certificate and the proposed transferee is or is
                           acting through an Agent Member and requests that the
                           proposed transferee receive a beneficial interest in
                           the Global Security, then the Security Registrar
                           shall (x) cancel such surrendered

                           principal amount of the Global Security equal to the
                           principal amount being transferred of such
                           surrendered Physical Security and (z) notify the
                           Depositary in accordance with the procedures of the
                           Depositary that it approves of such transfer.

                           In any of the cases described in this Section
                  307(e)(A), the Security Registrar shall deliver to the
                  transferor a new Physical Security in principal amount equal
                  to the principal amount not being transferred of such
                  surrendered Physical Security, as applicable.

                           (B) the Global Security, and the proposed transferee
                  or transferor, as applicable:

                                    (i) delivers (or is deemed to have delivered
                           pursuant to clause (d) above) a Rule 144A Certificate
                           and the proposed transferee requests delivery in the
                           form of a Physical Security, then the Security
                           Registrar shall (w) register such transfer in the
                           name of such transferee and record the date thereof
                           in its books and records, (x) record a decrease in
                           the principal amount of the Global Security in an
                           amount equal to the beneficial interest therein being
                           transferred, (y) deliver a new Physical Security to
                           such transferee duly registered in the name of such
                           transferee in principal amount equal to the amount of
                           such decrease and (z) notify the Depositary in
                           accordance with the procedures of the Depositary that
                           it approves of such transfer; or

                                    (ii) delivers (or is deemed to have
                           delivered pursuant to clause (d) above) a Rule 144A
                           Certificate and the proposed transferee is or is
                           acting through an Agent Member and requests that the
                           proposed transferee receive a beneficial interest in
                           the Global Security, then the transfer shall be
                           effected in accordance with the procedures of the
                           Depositary therefor.

                  (f) EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF PHYSICAL
         SECURITIES. In any case in which the Security Registrar is required to
         deliver a Physical Security to a transferee or transferor, the Company
         shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
         for delivery, such Physical Security.

                  (g) CERTAIN ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO PHYSICAL
         SECURITIES. Any transferee entitled to receive a Physical Security may
         request that the principal amount thereof be evidenced by one or more
         Physical Securities in any authorized denomination or denominations and
         the Security Registrar shall comply with such request if all other
         transfer restrictions are satisfied.

                  (h) TRANSFERS NOT COVERED BY SECTION 307(e). The Security
         Registrar shall effect and record, upon receipt of a written request
         from the Company so to do, a transfer not otherwise permitted by
         Section 307(e), such recording to be done in accordance with the
         otherwise applicable provisions of Section 307(e), upon the furnishing
         by the proposed transferor or transferee of a Non-Registration Opinion
         and Supporting Evidence.

                  (i) GENERAL. By its acceptance of any Security bearing the
         Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Security acknowledges the
         restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture
         and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer
         such Security only as provided in this Indenture. The Security
         Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Security unless such
         transfer complies with the restrictions with respect thereto set forth
         in this Indenture. The Security Registrar shall not be required to
         determine (but may rely upon a determination made by the Company) the
         sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other
         information.

                  (j) PRIVATE PLACEMENT LEGEND. Upon the transfer, exchange or
         replacement of Securities not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the
         Security Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear the
         Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of
         Securities bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Security Registrar
         shall deliver only Securities that bear the Private Placement Legend
         unless (i) the requested transfer is at least two years after the
         original issue date of the Initial Security (with respect to any
         Physical Security), (ii) there is delivered to the Security Registrar
         an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company
         and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related
         restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance
         with the provisions of the Securities Act or (iii) such Securities are
         exchanged for Exchange Securities pursuant to an Exchange Offer.

                  SECTION 308. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES.

                  If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee,
or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the
Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the
Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal
amount at maturity, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

<PAGE>
                                       45

                  In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security
has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

                  Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

                  Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of
any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone,
and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

                  The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

                  SECTION 309.  PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED.

                  Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the
Person in whose name such Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest
at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 1002; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each installment of interest may at the
Company's option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or
upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 310,
to the address of such Person as it appears in the Security Register at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment or (ii)
transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee.

                  Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date by virtue
of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent
lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Securities
(such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called
"Defaulted Interest") may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case,
as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

<PAGE>
                                       46

                  (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
         Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their
         respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
         business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
         Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company
         shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
         proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed
         payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
         Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be
         paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
         satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
         proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
         benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this
         clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date
         for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than
         15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
         payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of
         the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify
         the Company of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the
         expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of
         such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be
         given in the manner provided for in Section 106, not less than 10 days
         prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of
         such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having
         been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in
         whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities)
         are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and
         shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

                  (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in
         any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
         securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon
         such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given
         by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this
         clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the
         Trustee.

                  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

                  SECTION 310.  PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

                  Prior to the due presentment of a Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in

<PAGE>
                                       47

whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject
to Sections 305 and 309) interest on such Security and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company,
the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  SECTION 311.  CANCELLATION.

                  All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by
it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or
to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold,
and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If
the Company shall so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition
shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness
represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the
Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary
procedures and certification of their disposal delivered to the Company unless
by Company Order the Company shall direct that cancelled Securities be returned
to it.

                  SECTION 312.  COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.

                  Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

                  SECTION 313.  FORM OF REGULATION S CERTIFICATE.

                  Upon any transfer of the Securities pursuant to Regulation S,
the transferor of such Securities shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate in
the form of Exhibit A hereto.

                  This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of
further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities expressly provided for herein or pursuant hereto and the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee) and the Trustee,
at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture when

                  (1)      either

                           (a) all Securities theretofore authenticated and
                  delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been

                  the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged
                  from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been
                  delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

                           (b) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to

                           one year under arrangements satisfactory to the

                           Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
                           Company,

                  and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has
                  irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the
                  Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose an amount
                  sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on
                  such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
                  cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest
                  on such Securities to the date of such deposit (in the case of
                  Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated
                  Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

                  (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
         payable hereunder by the Company; and

                  (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers
         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
         precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and

(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if
any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the
Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

         ANNULMENT.

                  If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(8) or 501(9)) shall occur and be continuing, the

Securities then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company (and to the
Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee upon the
written request of such Holders, shall declare the principal of, premium, if
any, and accrued interest on all of the Outstanding Securities immediately due
and payable, and upon any such declaration all such amounts payable in respect
of the Securities shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of

                  At any time after a declaration of acceleration hereunder, but
before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by
the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind such declaration and its consequences if

<PAGE>
                                       52

                  (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
         sufficient to pay,

                           (A) all overdue interest on all Outstanding
                  Securities,

                           (B) all unpaid principal of and premium, if any, on
                  any Outstanding Securities that have become due otherwise than
                  by such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at
                  the rate borne by such Securities,

                           (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is
                  lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal
                  at the rate borne by such Securities, and

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

                  counsel; and

                  (2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of
         amounts of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Securities
         that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have
         been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

                  SECTION 503.  COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR
         ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE.

                  The Company covenants that if

                  (a) default is made in the payment of any installment of
         interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and
         such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

                  (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or
         premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, and interest on any
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such
interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest,
at the rate borne by the Securities, and, in addition

<PAGE>
                                       53

thereto, 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.

                  If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, may
institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and
unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may
enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities
and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided
by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities, wherever situated.

                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights
of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall
deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the
specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of
the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

                  SECTION 504.  TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

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

                  (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of
         principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in
         respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents
         and take such other actions, including participating as a member of any
         official creditors committee appointed in the matter as it may deem
         necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
         (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
         disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
         of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

                  (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property
         payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

<PAGE>
                                       54

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the
Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 606.

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

                  SECTION 505.  TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF
         SECURITIES.

                  All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the
Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession
of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating
thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in
its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment
shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.

                  SECTION 506.  APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED.

                  Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article
shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal
(or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:

                  FIRST:  To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under
         Section 606;

                  SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for
         principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities in
         respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been
         collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
         according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for
         principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and

<PAGE>
                                       55

                  THIRD:  The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled
         thereto.

                  SECTION 507.  LIMITATION ON SUITS.

                  No Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute
any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless

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

                  (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
         the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the
         Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in
         its own name as Trustee hereunder;

                  (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee
         reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
         incurred in compliance with such request;

                  (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
         request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
         proceeding; and

                  (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has
         been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
         majority or more in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of
this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders,
or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders
or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein
provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

                  SECTION 508.  UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE
         PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the
Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment, as provided herein and in such Security of
the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 309) interest on
such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security
(or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit
for the

<PAGE>
                                       56

enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without
the consent of such Holder.

                  SECTION 509.  RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

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

                  SECTION 510.  RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

                  Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last
paragraph of Section 308, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right
or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

                  SECTION 511.  DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER.

                  No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any
Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event
of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders,
as the case may be.

                  SECTION 512.  CONTROL BY HOLDERS.

                  The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount at
maturity of the Outstanding Securities shall 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, PROVIDED
that

<PAGE>
                                       57

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

                  (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
         Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

                  (3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve
         it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not
         consenting.

                  SECTION 513.  WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

                  The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the Outstanding Securities may, on behalf of the Holders
of all the Securities, waive any past defaults hereunder, except a default

                  (1) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
         interest on any such Security, or

                  (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under
         Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
         Holder of each Outstanding Security.

                  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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

                  SECTION 514.  WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS.

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

Default hereunder, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent
provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such Default hereunder known to the
Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Security, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if a committee of its trust officers in good faith
determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the
Holders; and PROVIDED FURTHER that in the case of any Default of the character
specified in Section 501(4) no such notice to Holders shall be given until at
least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.

                  SECTION 602.  CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

         pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to
         the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against
         the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
         compliance with such request or direction;

         Responsible Officers has actual knowledge thereof.

                  The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.

                  SECTION 603. TRUSTEE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE
         OF SECURITIES.

                  The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except
for the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except that the Trustee
represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture,
authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the
statements made by it in any

                                       60

Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company will be true and
accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. The Trustee shall not
be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the
proceeds thereof.

                  SECTION 604.  MAY HOLD SECURITIES.

                  The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any
other agent of the Company or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to TIA
Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or
such other agent.

                  SECTION 605.  MONEY HELD IN TRUST.

                  Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder
except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

                  SECTION 606.  COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.

                  The Company agrees:

                  (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
         compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
         compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
         the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

                  (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to
         reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
         disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
         accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the
         reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
         agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance
         as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

                  (3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless
         against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or
         bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the
         acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and
         expenses of investigating or defending itself against any claim or
         liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
         powers or duties hereunder.

                  The obligations of the Company under this Section to
compensate the Trustee, to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses,
disbursements and advances and to indemnify

<PAGE>
                                       61

and hold harmless the Trustee shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder
and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. As security
for the performance of such obligations of the Company, the Trustee shall have a
claim prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by
the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of
(and premium, if any) or interest on particular Securities.

                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in
connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(8) or (9), the
expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) of and
the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar foreign or domestic law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the extent
unpaid as such expenses, they shall be paid as provided in Section 506.

                  The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination
of this Indenture.

                  SECTION 607.  CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY.

                  There shall be at all times a Trustee hereunder which shall be
eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of Federal, State, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

                  SECTION 608. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF
         SUCCESSOR.

                  (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no
appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 609.

                  (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee required by Section 609 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee.

<PAGE>
                                       62

                  (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

                  (d)      If at any time:

                  (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
         TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by
         any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least
         six months, or

                  (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607
         and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company
         or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at
         least six months, or

                  (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be
         adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
         property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or
         control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
         rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Company, by a Board Resolution, may remove the
Trustee, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

                  (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for
any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or
incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the
successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed
by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter
provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least
six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

                  (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to the
Holders of Securities in the

<PAGE>
                                       63

manner provided for in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

                  SECTION 609.  ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

                  Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the
Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of
its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly
assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money
held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor
Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights,
powers and trusts.

                  No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at
the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article.

                  SECTION 610. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION
         TO BUSINESS.

                  Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible
under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have
been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any
successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee
may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with
the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Securities. In case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been
authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in
the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee.
In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force and effect which
this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee
shall have; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the right to adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the
name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors
by merger, conversion or consolidation.

                  Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same,
agrees with the Company and the Trustee that none of the Company or the Trustee
or any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of the Holders in
accordance with TIA Section 312, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under TIA Section
312(b).

                  SECTION 702.  REPORTS BY TRUSTEE.

                  Within 60 days after May 15 of each year commencing with the
first May 15 after the first issuance of Securities, the Trustee shall transmit

                  SECTION 801. COMPANY MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC., ONLY ON CERTAIN
         TERMS.

                  The Company shall not, in a single transaction or through a
series of related transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into any other
Person or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to
any other Person or Persons, and the Company shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to enter into any such transaction or series of transactions if such
transaction or series of transactions, in the aggregate, would result in the
sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to any Person or Persons, unless:

                           (1) either (i) the Company shall be the surviving
         corporation or (ii) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by
         such consolidation or into which the

         Company or the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is merged or the
         Person which acquires by sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other
         disposition, all or substantially all of the properties and assets of
         the Company or the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case
         may be, (the "Surviving Entity") (x) shall be a corporation organized
         and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America,
         any state thereof or the District of Columbia and (y) shall expressly
         assume, by an indenture supplemental to this Indenture executed and
         delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the
         Company's obligations for the due and punctual payment of the principal
         of (or premium, if any, on) and interest on all the Securities and the
         performance and observance of every covenant of this Indenture on the
         part of the Company to be performed or observed;

                   (2) immediately before and after giving effect to such
         transaction or series of transactions on a PRO FORMA basis (and
         treating any obligation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in
         connection with or as a result of such transaction as having been
         incurred at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of
         Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

                  (3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or
         series of transactions on a PRO FORMA basis (on the assumption that the
         transaction or series of transactions occurred on the first day of the
         latest fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial statements of
         the Company are available prior to the consummation of such transaction
         or series of transactions with the appropriate adjustments with respect
         to the transaction or series of transactions being included in such PRO
         FORMA calculation), the ratio of Total Consolidated Indebtedness to
         Annualized Pro Forma Consolidated Operating Cash Flow of the Company
         (or the Surviving Entity if the Company is not the continuing obligor
         under this Indenture) would be less than or equal to such ratio of the
         Company immediately before such transaction;

                  (4) if any of the property or assets of the Company or any of
         its Restricted Subsidiaries would thereupon become subject to any Lien,
         the provisions of Section 1014 are complied with; and

                  (5) the Company or the Surviving Entity shall have delivered
         to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each
         stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance,
         transfer, lease or other disposition and such supplemental indenture
         comply with the terms of this Indenture.

                  SECTION 802.  SUCCESSOR SUBSTITUTED.

<PAGE>
                                       66

                  Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment,
conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition of all or substantially all of the
properties and assets of the Company in accordance with Section 801 in which the
Company is not the continuing obligor under this Indenture, the Surviving Entity
shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power
of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor
had been named as the Company herein. When a successor assumes all the
obligations of its predecessor under this Indenture and the Securities, the
predecessor shall be released from those obligations; PROVIDED that in the case
of a transfer by lease, the predecessor shall not be released from the payment
of principal and interest on the Securities.

                  SECTION 803.  SECURITIES TO BE SECURED IN CERTAIN EVENTS.

                  If, upon any such consolidation of the Company with or
merger of the Company into any other corporation, or upon any conveyance,
lease or transfer of the property of the Company substantially as an entirety
to any other Person, any property or assets of the Company would thereupon
become subject to any Lien, then unless such Lien could be created pursuant
to Section 1014 without equally and ratably securing the Securities, the
Company, prior to or simultaneously with such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, lease or transfer, will as to such property or assets, secure the
Securities Outstanding (together with, if the Company shall so determine any
other Indebtedness of the Company now existing or hereinafter created which
is not subordinate in right of payment to the Securities) equally and ratably
with (or prior to) the Indebtedness which upon such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, lease or transfer is to become secured as to such property or
assets by such Lien, or will cause such Securities to be so secured; PROVIDED
that, for the purpose of providing such equal and ratable security, the
principal amount of the Securities shall mean that amount which would at the
time of making such effective provision be due and payable pursuant to
Section 502 upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof, and
the extent of such equal and ratable security shall be adjusted, to the
extent permitted by law, as and when said amount changes over time as
provided in Section 502.

                                       67

                  (1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the
         Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of
         the Company contained herein and in the Securities; or

                  (2) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of
         the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon
         the Company; or

                  (3) to add any additional Events of Default; or

                  (4) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
         hereunder by a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements of
         Section 609; or

                  (5) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
         provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision
         herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
         questions arising under this Indenture; PROVIDED that such action shall
         not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material
         respect; or

                  (6) to secure the Securities pursuant to the requirements of
         Section 1014 or otherwise; or

                  (7) to qualify, or maintain the qualification of, this
         Indenture under the TIA.

                  SECTION 902.  SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

                  With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Outstanding Securities, by Act of
said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when
authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under this Indenture;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby:

                  (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any
         installment of interest on, any Security, or reduce the Accreted Value
         thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the
         redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency in which any
         Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair
         the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment
         after the

<PAGE>
                                       68

         Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
         Redemption Date), or

                  (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount at maturity of
         the Outstanding Securities, the consent of whose Holders is required
         for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is
         required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this
         Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided

         or Article Five, except to increase the percentage of Outstanding
         Securities required for such actions or to provide that certain other
         provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the
         consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security, or

                  (4) amend, change or modify the redemption provisions of this
         Indenture or the Securities or the obligation of the Company to make
         and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of
         Control or make and consummate an Excess Proceeds Offer with respect to
         any Asset Sale or modify any of the provisions or definitions with
         respect thereto.

                  It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture,
but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

                  SECTION 903.  EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

                  In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by,
any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such supplemental indenture which adversely affects the Trustee's
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

                  SECTION 904.  EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required
by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine,
new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the
Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the
Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for
Outstanding Securities. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a
new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

                  SECTION 907.  NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

                  Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of Section 902, the
Company shall give notice thereof to the Holders of each Outstanding Security
affected, in the manner provided for in Section 106, setting forth in general
terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Failure to provide such
notice shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

                                    COVENANTS

                  SECTION 1001. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND
         INTEREST.

of Bankers Trust Company at Four Albany Street, New York, New York 10006 shall
be such office or agency of the Company, unless the Company shall designate and
maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the
location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to
maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee
with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands
may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the
Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

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

                  SECTION 1003. MONEY FOR SECURITY PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.

                  If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent,
it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any of the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to
such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly
notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

                  Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for
the Securities, it will, on or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two
business days prior to the due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay
the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be
held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium
or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of such action or any failure so to act.

                  Each amount payable according to the preceding paragraph shall
be paid unconditionally by credit transfer in the payment currency and in same
day, freely transferable cleared funds no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on the relevant day to such account at such bank as the Paying Agent may
from time to time specify for such purpose by written notice to the Company at
least two business days prior to the date on

<PAGE>
                                       71

which the Company must effectuate such wire transfer. The Company shall before
10:00 a.m. on the second business day prior to the day on which the Paying Agent
receives payment, procure that the bank effecting payment for it confirm by
telex or SWIFT MT100 message to the Paying Agent the payment instructions
relating to such payment.

                  The Company will cause each Paying Agent (other than the
Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this
Section, that such Paying Agent will:

                  (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal
         of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities in trust for the
         benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid
         to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

                  (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or
         any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of
         principal (and premium, if any) or interest; and

                  (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default,
         upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
         all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

                  The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in
trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee
upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or
such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee,
such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such sums.

                  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 (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two
years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall
be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company)
shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general 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 a newspaper published in
the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general
circulation

<PAGE>
                                       72

in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, 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 publication, any unclaimed balance of
such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

                  SECTION 1004.  CORPORATE EXISTENCE.

                  Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be
done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the
corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the
Company and each Subsidiary; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be
required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of
the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole and that the loss
thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

                  SECTION 1005.  PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS.

                  The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (a) all taxes, assessments
and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or
upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary and (b)
all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by
law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to
be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount,
applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings.
                  SECTION 1006.  MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES.

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

                  SECTION 1007.  INSURANCE.

<PAGE>

Subsidiaries properties which are of an insurable nature insured with insurers,
believed by the Company to be responsible, against loss or damage to the extent
that property of similar character is usually so insured by corporations
similarly situated and owning like properties.

Indenture, or if the trustee for or the holder of any other evidence of
Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any
other action with respect to a claimed default (other than with respect to
Indebtedness in the principal amount of less than $5,000,000), the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or by telegram, telex or
facsimile transmission an officers certificate specifying such event, notice or

law or regulations, promptly upon written request supply copies of such

greater than zero and less than or equal to 6 to 1.

                  (b) The Company will not incur any Subordinated Indebtedness

         such dividends or distributions do not in the aggregate exceed the
         minority stockholders' PRO RATA share of such Restricted Subsidiaries'
         net income from the first day of the fiscal quarter beginning
         immediately following the Issue Date);

(such payments or other actions described in (but not excluded from) clauses (i)

         received by the Company (other than from a Restricted Subsidiary) at
         the time of such conversion or exchange, plus (D) in the case of the
         disposition or repayment of any Investment (other than through share
         leasing arrangements) constituting a Restricted Payment made after the
         Issue Date (other than in the case contemplated by clause (E) hereof)
         an amount equal to the lesser of the return of capital with respect to
         such Investment and the cost of such Investment, in either case, less
         the cost of the disposition of such Investment, plus (E) in the case of
         Investments (other than through share leasing arrangements) made in any

Redeemable Capital Stock) of the Company or (2) other Subordinated Indebtedness
so long as (A) the principal amount of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the
principal amount (or, if such Subordinated Indebtedness being refinanced
provides for an amount less than the principal amount thereof to be due and
payable upon a declaration of acceleration thereof, such lesser amount as of the
date of determination) of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so purchased,
redeemed, defeased, acquired or retired, PLUS the lesser of the amount of any
premium required to be paid in connection with such refinancing pursuant to the
terms of the Subordinated Indebtedness being refinanced or the amount of any
premium reasonably determined by the

<PAGE>

                                       77

Company as necessary to accomplish such refinancing, plus, in either case, the

Unrestricted Subsidiaries, represented by accounts receivable, extended on usual

proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue or sale of Capital Stock (other
than Redeemable Capital Stock) of the Company; (vi) payments made pursuant to
the Shareholder Registration Rights Agreement; (vii) the payment of reasonable

amount not to exceed $1.0 million (or, if non-U.S. Dollar denominated, the U.S.
Dollar Equivalent thereof) at any one time outstanding.

                  In determining the amount of Restricted Payments permissible
under this covenant, amounts expended pursuant to clauses (i), (vi), (vii),
(viii) and (ix) above shall be included as Restricted Payments.

or (7) amendments, modifications or alterations of Management Agreements,
Organizational Contracts, Overhead Agreements and Service Agreements under (b)
below.

                  (b) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted

                  SECTION 1014.  LIMITATION ON LIENS.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist

                                       80

assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income thereon, unless (x) in
the case of any Lien securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Securities are
secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in
priority to such Lien and (y) in the case of any other Lien, the Securities are
equally and ratably secured.

                  SECTION 1015.  LIMITATION ON ISSUANCES OF GUARANTEES OF
INDEBTEDNESS BY SUBSIDIARIES.

                  (a) The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary,
directly or indirectly, to guarantee, assume or in any other manner become
liable with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company unless such Restricted
Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture
providing for the guarantee of payment of the Securities by such Restricted
Subsidiary on a basis senior to any guarantee of Subordinated Indebtedness or at
least PARI PASSU with any guarantee of Pari Passu Indebtedness; PROVIDED that
this paragraph (a) shall not be applicable to (i) any guarantee of any
Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted
Subsidiary or (ii) any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary of Senior Bank
Indebtedness.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any guarantee of the
Securities created pursuant to the provisions described in the foregoing
paragraph (a) shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) any sale, exchange or transfer,
to any Person who is not an Affiliate of the Company, of all of the Company's
Capital Stock in, or all or substantially all the assets of, such Restricted
Subsidiary (which sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this
Indenture) (ii) the occurrence of any default or breach of any covenant or
agreement under any Indebtedness of the Company arising as a result of the
creation of such guarantee or (iii) the release by the holders of the
Indebtedness of the Company described in the preceding paragraph of their
guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon
payment in full of all obligations under such Indebtedness, except by or as a
result of payment under such guarantee), at a time when (A) no other
Indebtedness of the Company has been guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary or
(B) the holders of all such other Indebtedness which is guaranteed by such
Restricted Subsidiary also release their guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary
(including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such
Indebtedness). In the event that clause (ii) of this paragraph (b) shall apply
immediately after the creation of such guarantee under paragraph (a) above, then
such guarantee need not be created.

                  SECTION 1016. PURCHASE OF SECURITIES UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL.

                  If a Change of Control shall occur at any time, then each
holder of Securities shall have the right to require that the Company purchase
such holder's Securities, in whole

<PAGE>

                                       81

or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount at maturity, at a
purchase price (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") in cash in an amount
equal to 101% of the Accreted Value of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Purchase
Date"), pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer")
and the other procedures set forth in this Indenture.

                  Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company
shall notify the Trustee thereof and give written notice of such Change of
Control to each holder of Securities by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at
the address of such holder appearing in the Security Register, stating, among
other things, (a) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be a
Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed, or such later date as is necessary to comply with requirements
under the Exchange Act; (b) that any Security not tendered will continue to
accrue interest or accrete original issue discount, as applicable; (c) that,
unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price, any Securities
accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to
accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date; and (d) certain other
procedures that a holder of Securities must follow to accept a Change of Control
Offer or to withdraw such acceptance.

                  The Company will comply with the applicable tender offer
rules, including Rule l4e-l under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable
securities laws and regulations in connection with a Change of Control Offer.

                  The Company will not enter into any agreement that would
prohibit the Company from making a Change of Control Offer to purchase the
Securities or, if such Change of Control Offer is made, to pay for the
Securities tendered for purchase.

                  SECTION 1017.  LIMITATION ON SALE OF ASSETS.

                  (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, engage in any Asset Sale unless (i) the
consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary for such
Asset Sale is not less than the Fair Market Value of the shares or assets sold
(as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination
shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Board Resolution) and (ii) the
consideration received by the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary in
respect of such Asset Sale consists of at least 75% cash or Cash Equivalents.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may consummate an Asset Sale without complying with clause (ii) of
the immediately preceding sentence if at least 75% of the consideration for such
Asset Sale consists of any combination of cash, Cash Equivalents and those items
described in clause (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) below.

<PAGE>

                                       82

                  (b) If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an
Asset Sale, the Company may use the Net Cash Proceeds thereof, within 12 months
after the later of such Asset Sale or the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, (i)
to permanently repay or prepay any then outstanding Senior Bank Indebtedness of
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, any then outstanding Indebtedness of a
Restricted Subsidiary or any other then outstanding unsubordinated Indebtedness
of the Company, (ii) to invest in any one or more businesses (including, without
limitation, in the Capital Stock of any Person that becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary as a result of such investment or that is received in connection with
a Permitted Investment made under clause (g), (h) or (i) of the definition
thereof), make capital expenditures (including lease payments for one or more
capital assets) or invest in other tangible assets of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, engaged, used or useful in the
Cable/Telecommunications Business, the DTH Business or the
Entertainment/Programming Business of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries (or enter into a legally binding agreement to do so within six
months of the date on which such agreement is executed) or (iii) to invest in
properties or assets that replace the properties and assets that are the subject
to such Asset Sale (or enter into a legally binding agreement to do so within
six months of the date on which such agreement is executed). If any such legally
binding agreement to invest such Net Cash Proceeds is terminated, then the
Company may, within 90 days of such termination or within 12 months of such
Asset Sale, whichever is later, apply or invest such Net Cash Proceeds as
provided in clause (ii) or (iii) (without regard to the parenthetical contained
in clauses (ii) or (iii)) above. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so
used as set forth above in this paragraph (b) constitutes "Excess Proceeds."

(c) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15 million the Company
shall, within 30 business days, make an offer to purchase (an "Excess Proceeds
Offer") from all holders of Securities, on a PRO RATA basis (together with and
including any Notes that may be outstanding pursuant to the Series B Indenture),
in accordance with the procedures set forth below, the maximum Accreted Value of
Securities that may be purchased with the Excess Proceeds less the amount of
Excess Proceeds, if any, required to be applied under the PCI Indenture for the
repurchase of PCI Notes and applied under the Old Indenture for the repurchase
of the Old Notes. The offer price shall be payable in cash in an amount equal to
100% of the Accreted Value of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any (the "Offered Price"), to the date such Excess Proceeds Offer is
consummated (the "Offer Date"). To the extent that the aggregate Accreted Value
of Securities tendered pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the
Excess Proceeds relating thereto, the Company may use such additional Excess
Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the Accreted Value of Securities
validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Excess
Proceeds, Securities to be purchased will be selected on a PRO RATA basis
(together with and including any Notes that may be outstanding pursuant to the
Series B Indenture). Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of
Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero.

                                       83

                  (d) If the Company becomes obligated to make an Offer pursuant
to clause (c) above, the Securities shall be purchased by the Company, at the
option of the holder thereof, in whole or in part in integral multiples of
$1,000 on a date that is not earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days
from the date the notice is given to holders, or such later date as may be
necessary for the Company to comply with the requirements under the Exchange
Act, subject to proration in the event the amount of Excess Proceeds is less
than the aggregate Offered Price of all Securities tendered.

                  (e) The Company will comply with the applicable tender offer
rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, in connection with an Excess
Proceeds Offer.

                  SECTION 1018.  LIMITATION ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENT
RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to
exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the
ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise,
or make any other distributions to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary on

or any other Restricted Subsidiary, (c) make loans or advances to the Company or
any other Restricted Subsidiary, or (d) transfer any of its properties or assets
to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, except in all such cases for
such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of (i) any
agreement or instrument in effect on the Issue Date and listed on Schedule D
attached to this Indenture, (ii) applicable law or regulation (including
corporate governance provisions required by applicable law and regulations of
the National Bank of Poland), (iii) customary non-assignment provisions of any
lease governing a leasehold interest of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary, (iv) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at the time of such
acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or
restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any
Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so
acquired, (v) any mortgage or other Lien on real property acquired or improved
by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date that prohibits
transfers of the type described in (d) above with respect to such real property,
(vi) with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary, an agreement that has been entered
into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's
Capital Stock in, or substantially all the assets of, such Restricted
Subsidiary, (vii) the refinancing of Indebtedness incurred under the agreements
listed on Schedule B attached to this Indenture or described in clause (v)
above, so long as such encumbrances or restrictions are no less favorable in any
material respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary than those
contained in the respective agreement as in

effect on the date of this Indenture, (viii) any such customary encumbrance or
restriction contained in a security document creating a Lien permitted under
this Indenture to the extent relating to the property or asset subject to such
Lien, (ix) any agreement or instrument governing or relating to Senior Bank
Indebtedness (an "Indebtedness Instrument") if such encumbrance or restriction
applies only (X) to amounts which at any point in time (other than during such
periods as are described in the following clause (Y)) (1) exceed amounts due and
payable (or which are to become due and payable within 30 days) in respect of
the Securities or this Indenture for interest, premium and principal (after
giving effect to any realization by the Company under any applicable Currency
Agreement), or (2) if paid, would result in an event described in the following
clause (Y) of this sentence, or (Y) during the pendency of any event that
causes, permits or, after notice or lapse of time, would cause or permit the
holder(s) of the Senior Bank Indebtedness governed by the Indebtedness
Instrument to declare any such Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable or
require cash collateralization or cash cover for such Indebtedness for so long
as such cash collateralization or cash cover has not been provided, or (Z)
arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any
Indebtedness and that do not individually, or together with all such
encumbrances or restrictions, detract from the value of property or assets of
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary and (x) with respect to clause (d) above, any
license agreement entered in the ordinary course of business whereby the Company
or any other Restricted Subsidiary grants a license of programming or other
intellectual property to any other Person and such license agreement prohibits
or encumbers the transfer of the licensed property.

                  SECTION 1019.  LIMITATION ON INVESTMENTS IN UNRESTRICTED
SUBSIDIARIES.

                  The Company will not make, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to make, any Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries
(other than Permitted Investments) if, at the time thereof, the amount of such
Investment would exceed the amount of Restricted Payments then permitted to be
made pursuant to Section 1011. Any Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries
permitted to be made pursuant to this covenant (a) will be treated as the making
of a Restricted Payment in calculating the amount of Restricted Payments made by
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (without duplication under the provisions
of clause (a) of paragraph (iv) of Section 1011 and (b) may be made in cash or
property (if made in property, the Fair Market Value thereof as determined by
the Board of Directors of the Company (whose determination shall be conclusive
and evidenced by a Board Resolution) shall be deemed to be the amount of such
Investment for the purpose of clause (a)).

                  SECTION 1020.  LIMITATION ON LINES OF BUSINESS.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted

management or service business.

                  SECTION 1021.  WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

                  The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with
any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1007 through 1020,
inclusive, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by Act of
such Holders, waive such compliance in such instance with such term, provision
or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision
or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver
shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the
Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full
force and effect.

                  SECTION 1102.  APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.

                  Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company or

                  SECTION 1103.  ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

                  The election of the Company to redeem any Securities pursuant

REDEEMED.

                  If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall
deem fair and appropriate; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no partial redemption shall
reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Security not redeemed to less

the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities

otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Securities shall
relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to
the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be
redeemed.

                                       87

                  Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided for
in Section 106 not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption

         the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1107, if any,

                  (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities are to be
         redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of a partial redemption,
         the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed,

                  (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the
         notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the
         Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the holder will
         receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized
         denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

                  (5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price (and
         accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in
         Section 1107) will become due and payable upon each such Security, or
         the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and that interest thereon will
         cease to accrue on and after said date, and

                  (6) the place or places where such Securities are to be
         surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest,
         if any.

request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

                  SECTION 1106.  DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

                  Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with
the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount
of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all
the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

                  SECTION 1107.  SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE.

                  Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the
Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and
payable at the Redemption Price therein specified (together with accrued
interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless
the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall
be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest,
if any, to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that installments of interest
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to
the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 309.

                  If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid
upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any)
shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by
the Securities.

                  Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be

pursuant to Section 1002 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holders
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without
service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as

                  SECTION 1301. COMPANY'S OPTION TO EFFECT DEFEASANCE OR
COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

                  The Company may, at its option and at any time, with respect
to the Securities, elect to have either Section 1302 or Section 1303 be applied
to all Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth
below in this Article Thirteen.

                  SECTION 1302.  DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 1301 of the option
applicable to this Section 1302, the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to all Outstanding Securities on
the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter,
"defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
Outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding"
only for the purposes of Section 1305 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities
are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of
Holders of Outstanding Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund
described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments
in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such
Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company's obligations with
respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 308, 1002 and 1003, (C) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D)
this Article Thirteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Thirteen, the
Company may exercise its option under this Section 1302 notwithstanding the
prior exercise of its option under Section 1303 with respect to the Securities.

                  SECTION 1303.  COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

<PAGE>

                                       90

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 1301 of the option
applicable to this Section 1303, the Company shall be released from its
obligations under any covenant contained in Section 801 (3) and in Sections 1007
through 1020 with respect to the Outstanding Securities on and after the date
the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant
defeasance"), and the Securities shall thereafter be deemed not to be
"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. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect
to the Outstanding Securities, 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 501(4), but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture
and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

                  SECTION 1304. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

                  The following shall be the conditions to application of either
Section 1302 or Section 1303 to the Outstanding Securities:

                  (1) The Company shall irrevocably deposit or cause to be
         deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
         requirements of Section 607 who shall agree to comply with the
         provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as trust funds in
         trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically
         pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the
         Holders of such Securities, (A) money in United States Dollars, (B)
         U.S. Government Obligations, or (C) a combination thereof, in such
         amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
         recognized firm of independent public accountants, or a nationally
         recognized investment banking firm, to pay and discharge (i) the
         principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the relevant Outstanding
         Securities on the Stated Maturity (or upon redemption, if applicable)
         of such principal, premium, if any, or installment of interest and (ii)
         any mandatory redemption or analogous payments applicable to the
         Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due and
         payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such
         Securities; PROVIDED that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably
         instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government
         Obligations to said payments with respect to the Securities. For this
         purpose, "U.S. Government Obligations" means securities that are (x)
         direct obligations of the United States of America for the timely
         payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (y)
         obligations of a Person controlled or

<PAGE>

                                       91

         supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United
         States of America the timely payment of which is unconditionally
         guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States
         of America, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at
         the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository
         receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the
         Securities Act), as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government
         Obligation or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any
         such U.S. Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account
         of the holder of such depository receipt, PROVIDED that (except as
         required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction
         from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from
         any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government
         Obligation or the specific payment of principal of or interest on the
         U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

                  (2) No Default or Event of Default with respect to the
         Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
         deposit or, insofar as paragraphs (8) and (9) of Section 501 hereof are
         concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after
         the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall
         not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

                  (3) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in
         a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material
         agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the
         Company is a party or by which it is bound.

                  (4) In the case of an election under Section 1302, the Company
         shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United
         States stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has
         been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since
         the effective date of the Registration Statement there has been a
         change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the
         effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the
         Holders of the Outstanding Securities 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 times as would have been the case if such
         defeasance had not occurred.

                  (5) In the case of an election under Section 1303, the Company
         shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United
         States to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities
         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.

                                       92

                  (6) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
         of Counsel in the United States to the effect that after the 91st day
         following the deposit or after the date such opinion is delivered, the
         trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable
         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting
         creditors' rights generally.

                  (7) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
         Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Securities
         over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of hindering,
         delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company.

                  (8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
         conditions precedent provided for relating to either the defeasance
         under Section 1302 or the covenant defeasance under Section 1303 (as
         the case may be) have been complied with.

                  SECTION 1305.  DEPOSITED MONEY AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS
TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

                  Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section
1003, 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 1305, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1304 in
respect of the Outstanding Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.

                  The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Governmental
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 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 s.

                  Anything in this Article Thirteen to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to
time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as
provided in Section 1304 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would

<PAGE>

                                       93

then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant
defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article.

                  SECTION 1306.  REINSTATEMENT.

                  If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money in accordance with Section 1305 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
Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303, as the case may be, until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with
Section 1305; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Company makes any payment of
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any following the reinstatement
of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders
to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

1.       PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST

                  The Company will pay the principal of this Note on July 15,
2008.

                  Original issue discount will accrete from the Issue Date up to

principal amount of this Note on each Interest Payment Date, as set forth below,
at the rate of 7% per annum on the principal amount at maturity of $36,001,321
commencing on July 15, 2004.

                  Cash interest will be payable semiannually (to the holders of
record of the Notes at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1
immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date) on each Interest Payment
Date, commencing July 15, 2004. Except in the case of a Registration Default
(as defined herein), the principal of this Note shall not accrue cash
interest until January 15, 2004, except in the case of a default in payment
of the amount due at Maturity, in which case the amount due on this Note
shall bear interest at a rate of 18 1/2% per annum (to the extent that the
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall accrue
from the date of such default to the date the payment of such amount has been
made or duly provided for. Interest on any overdue principal amount shall be
payable on demand.

                  Cash Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent
date to which interest has been paid on this Note or, if no interest has been
paid, from July 15, 2004; PROVIDED that, if there is no existing default in the

at the close of business on the January 1 and July 1 immediately preceding the
Interest Payment Date), in each case; PROVIDED that, with respect to the payment
of principal, the Company will make payment to the Holder that surrenders this

premium, if any, and interest by its check payable in such money. The Company

of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is
a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.

them may act as Paying Agent, Note Registrar or co-registrar.

denominations larger than $1.00 principal amount at maturity may be redeemed in
part in integral multiples of $1.00 principal amount at maturity. On and after
the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes
called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the
Redemption Price.

6. REPURCHASE UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL AND ASSET SALES.

                  (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of
Notes shall have the right to require that the Company purchase such holder's
Notes, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1.00 principal amount at
maturity, at a purchase price in cash of 101% of the Accreted Value thereof on
the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on relevant record dates to

plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

                  The Notes are in registered form without coupons, in
denominations of $1.00 principal amount at maturity and any integral multiple
thereof. Under the Terms of the Indenture, the Company may convert, at its
option and to the extent practical, the Notes to denominations of $1,000
principal amount at maturity, so long as such conversion is not adverse to
Holders. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance
with the Indenture. The Note Registrar may require a Holder, among other things,
to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes
and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Note Registrar need
not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes selected for redemption
(except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part). Also, it
need not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes for a period of 15 days
before a selection of Notes to be redeemed is made.

8.       PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

                  A Holder may be treated as the owner of a Note for all
purposes.

9.       UNCLAIMED MONEY.

                  If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will
pay the money back to the Company at its request. After that, Holders entitled
to the money must look to the Company for payment, unless an abandoned property
law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying
Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

10.      AMENDMENT; SUPPLEMENT; 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 at maturity of the Notes then
outstanding, and any existing default or compliance with any provision may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or the
consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture
or the Notes to,

                  When a successor person or other entity assumes all the
obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, the
predecessor person will be released from those obligations.

14.      REMEDIES FOR EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

                  If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the
Company (and to the Trustee, if such notice is given by the Holders) may declare
all the Notes to be immediately due and payable and upon any such declaration
all such amounts payable in respect of the Notes shall become immediately due
and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Company
or any of its Significant Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, the Notes and
all such amounts payable in respect of the Notes shall automatically become
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder of Notes. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the
Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity
satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to

power.

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

                  Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than pursuant to
Section 1008(a)) shall include:

                  (1) a statement that each individual signing such certificate

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

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

                  SECTION 103. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE.

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

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

<PAGE>
                                       29

certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which
his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or
Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon
a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of
the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is
in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise
of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

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

                  SECTION 104. ACTS OF HOLDERS.

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

                  (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

                  (c) The principal amount at maturity and serial numbers of
Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved
by the Security Register.

                  (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of
Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act, the Company may, at

<PAGE>
                                       30

its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date
for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company
shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such
record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board
Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the
first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and not later
than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed,
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of
record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be
Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite
proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of
such record date; PROVIDED that no such authorization, agreement or consent by
the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become
effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven
months after the record date.

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

                  SECTION 105. NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE, COMPANY.

                  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by
this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

                  (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
         filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,
         Attention: Corporate Trust Manager, or

                  (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
         expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
         prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal
         office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture, or at any
         other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the
         Company.

                  SECTION 106. NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER.

<PAGE>
                                       31

                  Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to
Holders by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given
(unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his
address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date,
and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such
notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed
shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or
not such Holder actually receives such notice. Where this Indenture provides for
notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person
entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders
shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition
precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

                  In case by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in
regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable
to mail notice of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such
notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a
sufficient giving of such notice for every purpose hereunder.

                  SECTION 107. EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS.

                  The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of
Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

                  SECTION 108. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

                  All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company
shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

                  SECTION 109. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE.

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

                  SECTION 110. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE.

                  Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or
implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Paying
Agent, any Security Registrar and their

<PAGE>
                                       32

successors hereunder and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

                  SECTION 111. GOVERNING LAW.

                  This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. Upon issuance of
the Exchange Securities or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement,
this Indenture shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent
applicable, be governed by such provisions; and, if and to the extent that any
provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with any other
provision included in this Indenture which is required to be included in this
Indenture by any of Sections 310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act,
such required provision shall control.

                  SECTION 112. LEGAL HOLIDAYS.

                  In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date
or Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities)
payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest need not be made on such
date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force
and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the
Stated Maturity or Maturity; PROVIDED that no interest shall accrue for the
period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Stated

                  The aggregate principal amount at maturity of Securities
which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to
up to $256,800,000, except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon

                  The Initial Securities shall be known and designated as the
"14 1/2% Senior Discount Notes due 2009" of the Company. The Exchange
Securities shall be known and designated as the "14 1/2% Exchange Senior
Discount Notes due 2009" of the Company. The Stated Maturity of the Initial
Securities and the Exchange Securities shall be February 1, 2009 and, except
as otherwise set forth herein, they shall bear interest at the rate of 14
1/2% per annum from February 1, 2004, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable on
August 1, 2004 and semi-annually thereafter on February 1 and August 1 in
each year and at said Stated Maturity, until the principal thereof is paid or
duly provided for. Except in the case of a Registration Default (as defined
in the form of Securities), the principal of the Securities shall not accrue
interest until February 1, 2004, except in the case of a default in payment
of the amount due at Maturity, in which case the amount due on the Securities
shall bear interest at a rate of 17 1/2% per annum (to the extent that the
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall accrue
from the date of such default to the date the payment of such amount has been
made or duly provided for. Interest on any overdue principal amount shall be
payable on demand. The Securities are issued at a discount to their aggregate
principal amount at maturity and will generate gross proceeds to the Company
of $100,003,056 (and net proceeds of $96,752,957). Original issue discount
will accrete from the Issue Date (January 27, 1999) until February 1, 2004.
Based on the issue price thereof, the yield on the Securities is 17 1/2%
(computed on a semiannual bond equivalent basis) calculated from January 27,
1999.

                  The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the
Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for such purpose in The City of New York, or at such other office or agency of
the Company as may be maintained for such purpose; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, at
the option of the Company, interest may be paid by check mailed to addresses of
the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Security
Register.

                  The Securities shall be redeemable as provided in Article
Eleven.

                  SECTION 302. DENOMINATIONS.

                  The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form
without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount at maturity
and any integral multiple thereof.

                  SECTION 303. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING.

                  The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
any of its Chairman, its President or a Vice President, the Chief Executive
Officer or the Chief

<PAGE>
                                       37

Financial Officer, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon. The signature of
any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile signatures of
the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or
otherwise reproduced on the Securities.

                  Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind
the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

                  At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.

                  Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

                  No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for
herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized
officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

                  In case the Company, pursuant to Article Eight, shall be
consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer,
lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an
entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such
consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have
been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer,
lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture
supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article Eight, any of the
Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the
request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities executed in
the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as
may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Securities
surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee,
upon Company Request of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver
Securities as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If
Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a
successor Person pursuant to this Section in exchange or substitution for or
upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such successor Person, at the
option of the

<PAGE>
                                       38

Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all
Securities at the time Outstanding for Securities authenticated and delivered in
such new name.

                  SECTION 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

                  Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company
may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed
or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the
tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as
the officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced
by their execution of such Securities.

                  If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be
exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary
Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose
pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like
principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

                  SECTION 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND
EXCHANGE.

                  The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust
Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other
office or agency designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein sometimes
referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration
of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Security Register shall be in
written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form
within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times, the Security Register shall
be open to inspection by the Trustee. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed
as security registrar (the "Security Registrar") for the purpose of registering
Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

                  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at
the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of
any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal
amount.

<PAGE>
                                       39

                  At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for
other Securities of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate
principal amount at maturity, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged
at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for
exchange (including an exchange of Initial Securities for Exchange Securities),
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive PROVIDED
that no exchange of Initial Securities for Exchange Securities shall occur until
an Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by
the Commission and that the Initial Securities to be exchanged for the Exchange
Securities shall be cancelled by the Trustee.

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

                  Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Security
Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly
executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

                  No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 801, 906, 1016, 1017
or 1108 not involving any transfer.

                  The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the selection of Securities to be redeemed under Section
1104 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing of the
relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange
any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the
unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

                  SECTION 306. BOOK-ENTRY PROVISIONS FOR GLOBAL SECURITIES.

                  (a) The Global Security initially shall (i) be registered in
the name of the Depositary for such Global Securities or the nominee of such
Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary

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

                  (b) Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to
transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary,
its successors or their respective nominees and, in part, in the circumstances
described in paragraph (d) hereof. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global
Security may be transferred in accordance with the applicable rules and
procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 307. Beneficial
owners may obtain Physical Securities (which shall bear the Private Placement
Legend if required by Section 202) in exchange for their beneficial interests in
a Global Security upon request in accordance with the Depositary's and the
Security Registrar's procedures at any time. In addition, Physical Securities
shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial
interests in the Global Security if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that
it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Security or
the Depositary ceases to be a "Clearing Agency" registered under the Exchange
Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days or
(ii) an Event of Default has occurred and Holders of more than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding represented by the
Global Securities advise the Trustee through the Depositary in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Depositary with respect to the
Global Securities is no longer required.

                  (c) In connection with any transfer pursuant to paragraph (b)
of this Section of a portion of the beneficial interest in the Global Security
to beneficial owners, upon receipt of written instructions from the Depositary,
the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a
decrease in the principal amount at maturity of the Global Security in an amount
equal to the principal amount at maturity of the beneficial interest in the
Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Securities of like
tenor and amount.

                  (d) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global
Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, the
Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and

<PAGE>
                                       41

the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified
by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Security
an equal aggregate principal amount at maturity of Physical Securities of
authorized denominations.

                  (e) Any Physical Security delivered in exchange for an
interest in the Global Security pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section
shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (a)(i)(x) or paragraph (e) of
Section 307, bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the
Physical Security set forth in Section 202.

                  (f) The registered holder of a Global Security may grant
proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons
that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder
is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

                  (g) In connection with the execution, authentication and
delivery of Physical Securities in exchange for beneficial interests in a Global
Security pursuant to Section 306(b), the Security Registrar shall reflect on its
books and records a decrease in the principal amount at maturity of the relevant
Global Security equal to the principal amount at maturity of such Physical
Securities and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver one or more Physical Securities having an equal aggregate principal
amount at maturity.

                  SECTION 307. SPECIAL TRANSFER PROVISIONS.

                  Unless and until (i) an Initial Security is sold pursuant to
an effective Registration Statement, or (ii) an Initial Security is exchanged
for an Exchange Security in the Exchange Offer pursuant to an effective
Registration Statement, in each case, pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement, the following provisions shall apply:

                  (a) GENERAL. The provisions of this Section 307 shall apply to

         principal amount thereof that the transferor has notified the Security
         Registrar that it has agreed to transfer.

                  As used in this Indenture,"Rule 144A Certificate" means a
         certificate substantially in the form set forth in Section 313 and
         "Non-Registration Opinion and Supporting Evidence" means a written
         opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect
         that, and such other certification or information as the Company may
         reasonably require to confirm that, the proposed transfer is being made
         pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the

         CIRCUMSTANCES. A Rule 144A Certificate, if not actually delivered, will
         be deemed delivered if (A) (i) the transferor advises the Company and
         the Trustee in writing that the relevant offer and sale were made in
         accordance with the provisions of Rule 144A (or, in the case of a
         transfer of a Physical Security, the transferor checks the box provided
         on the Physical Security to that effect) and (ii) the transferee
         advises the Company and the Trustee in writing that (x) it and, if

         meaning of Rule 144A, (y) it is aware that the transfer of Securities
         to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from the provisions of
         Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A, and (z) prior to
         the proposed date of transfer it has been given the opportunity to
         obtain from the Company the information referred to in Rule 144A(d)(4),
         and has either declined such opportunity or has received such
         information (or, in the case of a transfer of a Physical Security, the
         transferee signs the certification provided on the Physical Security to
         that effect); or (B) the transferor holds the Global Security and is
         transferring to a transferee that will take delivery in the form of the
         Global Security.

                  (e) PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS. If the proposed transferor
         holds:

                      Physical Security, then the Security Registrar shall (x)
                      register such transfer in the name of such transferee and
                      record the date thereof in its books and records, (y)

                      surrendered Physical Security and (z) deliver a new
                      Physical Security to such transferee duly registered in
                      the name of such transferee in principal amount equal to
                      the principal amount being transferred of such surrendered
                      Physical Security; or

                          (ii) delivers (or is deemed to have delivered pursuant
                      to clause (d) above) a Rule 144A Certificate and the

                      Member and requests that the proposed transferee receive a
                      beneficial interest in the Global Security, then the
                      Security Registrar shall (x) cancel such surrendered
                      Physical Security, (y) record an increase in the principal
                      amount of the Global Security equal to the principal
                      amount being transferred of such surrendered Physical
                      Security and (z) notify the Depositary in accordance with
                      the procedures of the Depositary that it approves of such
                      transfer.

                  In any of the cases described in this Section 307(e)(A), the
         Security Registrar shall deliver to the transferor a new Physical
         Security in principal amount equal to the principal amount not being
         transferred of such surrendered Physical Security, as applicable.

         transferor, as applicable:

                      to clause (d) above) a Rule 144A Certificate and the
                      proposed transferee requests delivery in the form of a
                      Physical Security, then the Security Registrar shall (w)
                      register such transfer in the name of such transferee and
                      record the date thereof in its books and records, (x)
                      record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global
                      Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest
                      therein being transferred, (y) deliver a new Physical

                  (f) EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF PHYSICAL
         SECURITIES. In any case in which the Security Registrar is required to
         deliver a Physical Security to a transferee or transferor, the Company
         shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
         for delivery, such Physical Security.

                  (g) CERTAIN ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO PHYSICAL
         SECURITIES. Any transferee entitled to receive a Physical Security may
         request that the principal amount thereof be evidenced by one or more
         Physical Securities in any authorized denomination or denominations and
         the Security Registrar shall comply with such request if all other
         transfer restrictions are satisfied.

                  (h) TRANSFERS NOT COVERED BY SECTION 307(e). The Security
         Registrar shall effect and record, upon receipt of a written request
         from the Company so to do, a transfer not otherwise permitted by
         Section 307(e), such recording to be done in accordance with the
         otherwise applicable provisions of Section 307(e), upon the furnishing
         by the proposed transferor or transferee of a Non-Registration Opinion
         and Supporting Evidence.

                  (i) GENERAL. By its acceptance of any Security bearing the
         Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Security acknowledges the
         restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture
         and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer
         such Security only as provided in this Indenture. The Security
         Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Security unless such
         transfer complies with the restrictions with respect thereto set forth
         in this Indenture. The Security Registrar shall not be required to
         determine (but may rely upon a determination made by the Company) the
         sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other
         information.

                  (j) PRIVATE PLACEMENT LEGEND. Upon the transfer, exchange or
         replacement of Securities not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the
         Security Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear the
         Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of
         Securities bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Security Registrar
         shall deliver only Securities that bear the Private Placement Legend
         unless (i) the requested transfer is at least two years after the
         original issue date of the Initial Security (with respect to any
         Physical Security), (ii) there is delivered to the Security Registrar
         an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company
         and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related
         restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance
         with the provisions of the Securities Act or (iii) such Securities are
         exchanged for Exchange Securities pursuant to an Exchange Offer.

                  SECTION 308. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES.

                  If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee,
or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the
Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the
Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal
amount at maturity, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

                  In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security
has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

                  Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

                  Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of
any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone,
and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

                  The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

                  SECTION 309. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED.

                  Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the
Person in whose name such Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest
at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 1002; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each installment of interest may at the
Company's option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or
upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 310,
to the address of

<PAGE>
                                       46

such Person as it appears in the Security Register at the close of business on
the Regular Record Date for such interest payment or (ii) transfer to an account
located in the United States maintained by the payee.

                  Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date by virtue
of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent
lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Securities
(such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called
"Defaulted Interest") may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case,
as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

                  (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
         Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their
         respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
         business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
         Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company
         shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
         proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed
         payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
         Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be
         paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
         satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
         proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
         benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this
         clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date
         for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than
         15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
         payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of
         the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify
         the Company of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the
         expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of
         such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be
         given in the manner provided for in Section 106, not less than 10 days
         prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of
         such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having
         been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in
         whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities)
         are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and
         shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

                  (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in
         any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
         securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon
         such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given
         by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed

<PAGE>
                                       47

         payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed
         practicable by the Trustee.

                  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

                  SECTION 310. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

                  Prior to the due presentment of a Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of
such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium,
if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 309) interest on such Security and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none
of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

                  SECTION 311. CANCELLATION.

                  All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by
it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or
to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold,
and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If
the Company shall so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition
shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness
represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the
Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary
procedures and certification of their disposal delivered to the Company unless
by Company Order the Company shall direct that cancelled Securities be returned
to it.

                  SECTION 312. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.

                  Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

                  SECTION 313. FORM OF RULE 144A CERTIFICATE.

                  Upon any transfer of the Securities pursuant to Rule 144A, the
purchaser of such Securities shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate in the
form of Exhibit B hereto.

further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities expressly provided for herein or pursuant hereto and the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee) and the Trustee,
at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging

                  Section 308) and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has

                      and at the expense, of the Company,

<PAGE>
                                       49

                  and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has

                  cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest
                  on such Securities to the date of such deposit (in the case of
                  Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated
                  Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

                  (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
         payable hereunder by the Company; and

                  At any time after a declaration of acceleration hereunder, but
before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by
the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind such declaration and its consequences if

                  (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
         sufficient to pay,

                      (A) all overdue interest on all Outstanding Securities,

                      (B) all unpaid principal of and premium, if any, on any
                  Outstanding Securities that have become due otherwise than by
                  such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at the
                  rate borne by such Securities,

                      (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
                  interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal at the
                  rate borne by such Securities, and

                      (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and
                  the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
                  advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

                  (2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of
         amounts of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Securities
         that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have
         been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

                  SECTION 503. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR
ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE.

                  The Company covenants that if

<PAGE>
                                       53

                  (a) default is made in the payment of any installment of
         interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and
         such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

                  (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or
         premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, and interest on any
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such
interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest,
at the rate borne by the Securities, and, in addition thereto, 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.

                  If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, may
institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and
unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may
enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities
and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided
by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities, wherever situated.

                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights
of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall
deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the
specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of
the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

                  SECTION 504. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

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

<PAGE>
                                       54

                  (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of
         principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in
         respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents
         and take such other actions, including participating as a member of any
         official creditors committee appointed in the matter as it may deem
         necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
         (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
         disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
         of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

                  (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property
         payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the
Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 606.

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

                  SECTION 505. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF
SECURITIES.

                  All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the
Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession
of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating
thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in
its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment
shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.

                  SECTION 506. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED.

<PAGE>
                                       55

                  Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article
shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal
(or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:

                  FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under
         Section 606;

                  SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for
         principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities in
         respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been
         collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
         according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for
         principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and

                  THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled
         thereto.

                  SECTION 507. LIMITATION ON SUITS.

                  No Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute
any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless

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

                  (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
         the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the
         Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in
         its own name as Trustee hereunder;

                  (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee
         reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
         incurred in compliance with such request;

                  (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
         request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
         proceeding; and

                  (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has
         been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
         majority or more in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities;

<PAGE>
                                       56

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of
this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders,
or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders
or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein
provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

                  SECTION 508. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE
PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the
Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment, as provided herein and in such Security of
the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 309) interest on
such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security
(or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired
without the consent of such Holder.

                  SECTION 509. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

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

                  SECTION 510. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

                  Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last
paragraph of Section 308, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right
or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

                  SECTION 511. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER.

<PAGE>
                                       57

                  No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any
Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event
of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders,
as the case may be.

                  SECTION 512. CONTROL BY HOLDERS.

                  The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount at
maturity of the Outstanding Securities shall 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, PROVIDED
that

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

                  (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
         Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

                  (3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve
         it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not
         consenting.

                  SECTION 513. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

                  The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the Outstanding Securities may, on behalf of the Holders
of all the Securities, waive any past defaults hereunder, except a default

                  (1) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
         interest on any such Security, or

                  (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under
         Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
         Holder of each Outstanding Security.

                  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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

                  SECTION 514.  WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS.

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

                                   ARTICLE SIX

                                   THE TRUSTEE

                  SECTION 601. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

                  Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent
provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such Default hereunder known to the
Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Security, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if a committee of its trust officers in good faith
determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the
Holders; and PROVIDED FURTHER that in the case of any Default of the character
specified in Section 501(4) no such notice to Holders shall be given until at
least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.

                  SECTION 602. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

                  Subject to the provisions of TIA Sections 315(a) through
315(d):

                  (1) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully
         protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
         indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine
         and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

                  (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein
         shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order
         (unless other

<PAGE>
                                       59

         evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) and any
         resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a
         Board Resolution;

                  (3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the
         Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established
         prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the
         Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) shall
         be entitled to receive and may require and, in the absence of bad faith
         on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers Certificate;

                  (4) 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 in respect of any action taken,
         suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
         thereon;

                  (5) 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 pursuant to this Indenture, unless
         such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity
         reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
         liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
         request or direction;

                  (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
         into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
         statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
         consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness
         or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may
         make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters
         as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
         further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
         books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or
         attorney;

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

                  (8) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken,
         suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
         authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
         it by this Indenture; and

                  (9) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
         default, breach or Event of Default or other matter upon the occurrence
         of which it may be required to take action hereunder unless one of its
         Responsible Officers has actual knowledge thereof.

<PAGE>
                                       60

                  The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.

                  SECTION 603. TRUSTEE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE
OF SECURITIES.

                  The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except
for the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except that the Trustee
represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture,
authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the
statements made by it in any Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to
the Company will be true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth
therein. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

                  SECTION 604. MAY HOLD SECURITIES.

                  The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any
other agent of the Company or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to TIA
Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or
such other agent.

                  SECTION 605. MONEY HELD IN TRUST.

                  Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder
except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

                  SECTION 606. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.

                  The Company agrees:

                  (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
         compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
         compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
         the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

<PAGE>
                                       61

                  (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to
         reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
         disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
         accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the
         reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
         agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance
         as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

                  (3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless
         against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or
         bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the
         acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and
         expenses of investigating or defending itself against any claim or
         liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
         powers or duties hereunder.

                  The obligations of the Company under this Section to
compensate the Trustee, to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses,
disbursements and advances and to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee shall
constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture. As security for the performance of such
obligations of the Company, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the
Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such,
except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any)
or interest on particular Securities.

                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in
connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(8) or (9), the
expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) of and
the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar foreign or domestic law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the extent
unpaid as such expenses, they shall be paid as provided in Section 506.

                  The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination
of this Indenture.

                  SECTION 607. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY.

                  There shall be at all times a Trustee hereunder which shall be
eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of Federal, State, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at

accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in
the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

                  SECTION 608. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF
SUCCESSOR.

                  (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no
appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 609.

                  (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee required by Section 609 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee.

                  (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

                  (d) If at any time:

                  (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
         TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by
         any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least
         six months, or

                  (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607
         and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company
         or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at
         least six months, or

                  (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be
         adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
         property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or
         control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
         rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Company, by a Board Resolution, may remove the
Trustee, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

<PAGE>
                                       63

                  (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for
any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or
incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the
successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed
by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter
provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least
six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

                  (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to the
Holders of Securities in the manner provided for in Section 106. Each notice
shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate
Trust Office.

                  SECTION 609. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

                  Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the
Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of
its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly
assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money
held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor
Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights,
powers and trusts.

                  No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at
the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article.

                  SECTION 610. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION
TO BUSINESS.

                  Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or

<PAGE>
                                       64

consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated,
but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger,
conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect
as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. In case
at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any
successor Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any
predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases
such certificates shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture
provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of
any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any
predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger,
conversion or consolidation.

TERMS.

                  The Company shall not, in a single transaction or through a
series of related transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into any other
Person or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to
any other Person or Persons, and the Company will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to enter into any such transaction or series of transactions if such
transaction or series of transactions, in the aggregate, would result in the
sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to any Person or Persons, unless:

                  (1) either (i) the Company shall be the surviving corporation
         or (ii) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such
         consolidation or into which the Company or the Company and its
         Restricted Subsidiaries is merged or the Person which acquires by sale,
         conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition, all or substantially
         all of the properties and assets of the Company or the Company and its
         Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (the "Surviving Entity")
         (x) shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the
         laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District
         of Columbia and (y) shall expressly assume, by an indenture
         supplemental to this Indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee,
         in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company's obligations for the
         due and punctual payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on)
         and interest on all the Securities and the performance and observance
         of every covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Company to be
         performed or observed;

                   (2) immediately before and after giving effect to such
         transaction or series of transactions on a PRO FORMA basis (and
         treating any obligation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in
         connection with or as a result of such transaction as having been
         incurred at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of
         Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

                  (3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or
         series of transactions on a PRO FORMA basis (on the assumption that the
         transaction or series of transactions occurred on the first day of the
         latest fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial statements of
         the Company are available prior to the consummation of such transaction
         or series of transactions with the appropriate adjustments with respect
         to the transaction or series of transactions being included in such PRO
         FORMA calculation), the ratio of Total Consolidated Indebtedness to
         Annualized Pro Forma Consolidated

         Operating Cash Flow of the Company (or the Surviving Entity if the
         Company is not the continuing obligor under this Indenture) would be
         less than or equal to such ratio of the Company immediately before such
         transaction;

                  (4) if any of the property or assets of the Company or any of
         its Restricted Subsidiaries would thereupon become subject to any Lien,
         the provisions of Section 1014 are complied with; and

                  (5) the Company or the Surviving Entity shall have delivered
         to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each
         stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance,
         transfer, lease or other disposition and such supplemental indenture
         comply with the terms of this Indenture.

                  SECTION 802.  SUCCESSOR SUBSTITUTED.

                  Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment,
conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition of all or substantially all of the
properties and assets of the Company in accordance with Section 801 in which the
Company is not the continuing obligor under this Indenture, the Surviving Entity
shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power
of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor
had been named as the Company herein. When a successor assumes all the
obligations of its predecessor under this Indenture and the Securities, the
predecessor shall be released from those obligations; PROVIDED that in the case
of a transfer by lease, the predecessor shall not be released from the payment
of principal and interest on the Securities.

                  SECTION 803. SECURITIES TO BE SECURED IN CERTAIN EVENTS.

                  If, upon any such consolidation of the Company with or merger
of the Company into any other corporation, or upon any conveyance, lease or
transfer of the property of the Company substantially as an entirety to any
other Person, any property or assets of the Company would thereupon become
subject to any Lien, then unless such Lien could be created pursuant to Section
1014 without equally and ratably securing the Securities, the Company, prior to
or simultaneously with such consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease or
transfer, will as to such property or assets, secure the Securities Outstanding
(together with, if the Company shall so determine any other Indebtedness of the
Company now existing or hereinafter created which is not subordinate in right of
payment to the Securities) equally and ratably with (or prior to) the
Indebtedness which upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease or
transfer is to become secured as to such property or assets by such Lien, or
will cause such Securities to be so secured; PROVIDED that, for the purpose of
providing such equal and ratable security, the principal amount of the
Securities shall mean that amount which would at the time of making such
effective provision be due and payable pursuant to

<PAGE>
                                       67

Section 502 upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof, and the
extent of such equal and ratable security shall be adjusted, to the extent
permitted by law, as and when said amount changes over time as provided in
Section 502.

                  Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when
authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to
time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form

                  (1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the
         Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of
         the Company contained herein and in the Securities; or

                  (2) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of
         the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon
         the Company; or

                  (3) to add any additional Events of Default; or

                  (4) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
         hereunder by a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements of
         Section 609; or

                  (5) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
         provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision
         herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
         questions arising under this Indenture; PROVIDED that such action shall
         not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material
         respect; or

                  (6) to secure the Securities pursuant to the requirements of
         Section 1014 or otherwise; or

                  (7) to qualify, or maintain the qualification of, this
         Indenture under the TIA.

                  With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Outstanding Securities, by Act of
said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when
authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under this Indenture;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby:

                  (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any
         installment of interest on, any Security, or reduce the Accreted Value
         thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the
         redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency in which any
         Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair
         the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment
         after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or
         after the Redemption Date), or

                  (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount at maturity of
         the Outstanding Securities, the consent of whose Holders is required
         for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is
         required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this

         or Article Five, except to increase the percentage of Outstanding
         Securities required for such actions or to provide that certain other
         provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the
         consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security, or

                  (4) amend, change or modify the redemption provisions of this
         Indenture or the Securities or the obligation of the Company to make
         and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of
         Control or make and consummate an Excess Proceeds Offer with respect to
         any Asset Sale or modify any of the provisions or definitions with
         respect thereto.

                  It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture,
but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

<PAGE>
                                       69

                  In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by,
any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such supplemental indenture which adversely affects the Trustee's
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

                  SECTION 904. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

                  Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this
Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such

every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered
hereunder shall be bound thereby.

                  SECTION 905. CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

                  Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the Article

INDENTURES.

                  Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required
by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine,
new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the
Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the
Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for
Outstanding Securities. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a
new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

                  SECTION 907. NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

                  Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of

                  SECTION 1001. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND
INTEREST.

                  The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the
Holders that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest on the Securities in accordance with the terms of the
Securities and this Indenture.

                  SECTION 1002. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.

                  The Company will maintain in The City of New York, an office
or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where
Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be served. The office of Bankers Trust Company at Four Albany
Street, New York, New York 10006 shall be such office or agency of the Company,
unless the Company shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for
one or more of such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any
time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

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

                  SECTION 1003. MONEY FOR SECURITY PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.

                  If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent,
it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any of the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such

<PAGE>
                                       71

sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided
and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

                  Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for
the Securities, it will, on or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each
due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Securities,
deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium,
if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and
(unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of such action or any failure so to act.

                  The Company will cause each Paying Agent (other than the
Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this
Section, that such Paying Agent will:

                  (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal
         of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities in trust for the
         benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid
         to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

                  (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or
         any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of
         principal (and premium, if any) or interest; and

                  (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default,
         upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
         all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

                  The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in
trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee
upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or
such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee,
such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such sums.

then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two
years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall
be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company)
shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security

<PAGE>
                                       72

shall thereafter, as an unsecured general 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 a newspaper published in
the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general
circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, 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 publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

                  SECTION 1004. CORPORATE EXISTENCE.

                  Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be
done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the
corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the
Company and each Subsidiary; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be
required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of
the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole and that the loss
thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

                  SECTION 1005. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS.

and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or
upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary and (b)
all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by
law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to
be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount,
applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings.

business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair
and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be
made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the
business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously
conducted at all times; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this

<PAGE>
                                       73

Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the maintenance of any of
such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company,
desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary and
not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

                  SECTION 1007. INSURANCE.

                  The Company will at all times keep all of its and its

that property of similar character is usually so insured by corporations
similarly situated and owning like properties.

                  SECTION 1008. STATEMENT BY OFFICERS AS TO DEFAULT.

                  (a) The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days

Indenture, or if the trustee for or the holder of any other evidence of
Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any
other action with respect to a claimed default (other than with respect to
Indebtedness in the principal amount of less than $5,000,000), the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or by telegram, telex or
facsimile transmission an officers certificate specifying such event, notice or
other action within five Business Days of its occurrence.

greater than zero and less than or equal to 6 to 1.

                  (b) The Company will not incur any Subordinated Indebtedness

Company of any assets or securities (including Common Stock) to the holders of
such Subordinated Indebtedness prior to the payment in full of the Securities in
the event of a bankruptcy or reorganization.

                  SECTION 1011. LIMITATION ON RESTRICTED PAYMENTS.

         any Restricted Subsidiary by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary);
         or

                  (vi) declare or pay any dividend or any other distribution on
         any Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary to any Person (other

         minority stockholders' PRO RATA share of such Restricted Subsidiaries'
         net income from the first day of the fiscal quarter beginning
         immediately following the Issue Date);

(such payments or other actions described in (but not excluded from) clauses (i)

<PAGE>

                                       76

         date of such Restricted Payment (or if such difference shall be a
         negative number, minus 100% of such number), PLUS (B) the aggregate Net
         Cash Proceeds received by the Company from the issue or sale (other
         than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of Capital Stock of the Company (other

         any Net Cash Proceeds that are, promptly following receipt, invested in
         accordance with clause (ii), (iii) or (v) of clause (b) hereof and
         except to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are used to incur
         Indebtedness pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Permitted
         Indebtedness, PLUS (C) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the

         to the extent such securities were originally sold for cash, together
         with the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company (other
         than from a Restricted Subsidiary) at the time of such conversion or
         exchange, plus (D) in the case of the disposition or repayment of any
         Investment (other than through share leasing arrangements) constituting
         a Restricted Payment made after the Issue Date (other than in the case
         contemplated by clause (E) hereof) an amount equal to the lesser of the
         return of capital with respect to such Investment and the cost of such
         Investment, in either case, less the cost of the disposition of such
         Investment, plus (E) in the case of Investments (other than through
         share leasing arrangements) made in any Person other than a Restricted

Payments, cash distributed shall be valued at the face amount thereof and
property other than cash shall be valued at its Fair Market Value.

so long as (A) the principal amount of

<PAGE>

                                       77

such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount (or, if such
Subordinated Indebtedness being refinanced provides for an amount less than the
principal amount thereof to be due and payable upon a declaration of
acceleration thereof, such lesser amount as of the date of determination) of the
Subordinated Indebtedness being so purchased, redeemed, defeased, acquired or
retired, PLUS the lesser of the amount of any premium required to be paid in
connection with such refinancing pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated
Indebtedness being refinanced or the amount of any premium reasonably determined
by the Company as necessary to accomplish such refinancing, plus, in either
case, the amount of expenses of the Company incurred in connection with such
refinancing, (B) such new Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinated to the
Securities to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness so purchased,

million (or, if non-U.S. Dollar denominated, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof)
at any one time outstanding.

                  In determining the amount of Restricted Payments permissible
under this covenant, amounts expended pursuant to clauses (i), (vi), (vii),
(viii) and (ix) above shall be included as Restricted Payments.

ratably secured.

                  SECTION 1015.  LIMITATION ON ISSUANCES OF GUARANTEES OF

                  (a) The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary,

Indebtedness of the Company has been guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary or
(B) the holders of all such other Indebtedness which is guaranteed by such
Restricted Subsidiary also release their guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary
(including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such
Indebtedness). In the event that clause (ii) of this paragraph (b) shall apply
immediately after

<PAGE>

                                       81

the creation of such guarantee under paragraph (a) above, then such guarantee
need not be created.

holder of Securities shall have the right to require that the Company purchase
such holder's Securities, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000
principal amount at maturity, at a purchase price (the "Change of Control
Purchase Price") in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the Accreted Value of the
Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase
(the "Change of Control Purchase Date"), pursuant to the offer described below
(the "Change of Control Offer") and the other procedures set forth in this
Indenture.

                  Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company
shall notify the Trustee thereof and give written notice of such Change of
Control to each holder of Securities by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at
the address of such holder appearing in the Security Register, stating, among
other things, (a) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be a
Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed, or such later date as is necessary to comply with requirements
under the Exchange Act; (b) that any Security not tendered will continue to
accrue interest or accrete original issue discount, as applicable; (c) that,
unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price, any Securities
accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to
accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date; and (d) certain other
procedures that a holder of Securities must follow to accept a Change of Control
Offer or to withdraw such acceptance.

                  The Company will comply with the applicable tender offer
rules, including Rule l4e-l under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable
securities laws and regulations in connection with a Change of Control Offer.

                  The Company will not enter into any agreement that would
prohibit the Company from making a Change of Control Offer to purchase the
Securities or, if such Change of Control Offer is made, to pay for the
Securities tendered for purchase.

                  SECTION 1017.  LIMITATION ON SALE OF ASSETS.

                  (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, engage in any Asset Sale unless (i) the
consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary for such
Asset Sale is not less than the Fair Market Value of the shares or assets sold
(as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination
shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Board Resolution) and (ii) the

<PAGE>

                                       82

consideration received by the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary in
respect of such Asset Sale consists of at least 75% cash or Cash Equivalents.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may consummate an Asset Sale without complying with clause (ii) of
the immediately preceding sentence if at least 75% of the consideration for such
Asset Sale consists of any combination of cash, Cash Equivalents and those items
described in clause (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) below.

                  (b) If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an
Asset Sale, the Company may use the Net Cash Proceeds thereof, within 12 months
after the later of such Asset Sale or the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, (i)
to permanently repay or prepay any then outstanding Senior Bank Indebtedness of
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, any then outstanding Indebtedness of a
Restricted Subsidiary or any other then outstanding unsubordinated Indebtedness
of the Company, (ii) to invest in any one or more businesses (including, without
limitation, in the Capital Stock of any Person that becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary as a result of such investment or that is received in connection with
a Permitted Investment made under clause (g), (h) or (i) of the definition
thereof), make capital expenditures (including lease payments for one or more
capital assets) or invest in other tangible assets of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, engaged, used or useful in the
Cable/Telecommunications Business, the DTH Business or the
Entertainment/Programming Business of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries (or enter into a legally binding agreement to do so within six
months of the date on which such agreement is executed) or (iii) to invest in
properties or assets that replace the properties and assets that are the subject
to such Asset Sale (or enter into a legally binding agreement to do so within
six months of the date on which such agreement is executed). If any such legally
binding agreement to invest such Net Cash Proceeds is terminated, then the
Company may, within 90 days of such termination or within 12 months of such
Asset Sale, whichever is later, apply or invest such Net Cash Proceeds as
provided in clause (ii) or (iii) (without regard to the parenthetical contained
in clauses (ii) or (iii)) above. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so
used as set forth above in this paragraph (b) constitutes "Excess Proceeds."

                  (c) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds
$15 million the Company shall, within 30 business days, make an offer to
purchase (an "Excess Proceeds Offer") from all holders of Securities, on a
PRO RATA basis (together with and including any Series C Notes that may be
outstanding pursuant to the Series C Indenture), in accordance with the
procedures set forth below, the maximum Accreted Value of Securities that may
be purchased with the Excess Proceeds less the amount of Excess Proceeds, if
any, required to be applied under the PCI Indenture for the repurchase of PCI
Notes and applied under the Old Indenture and the Series C Indenture for the
repurchase of the Old Notes and Series C Notes, respectively. The offer price
shall be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the Accreted Value of
the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (the "Offered
Price"), to the date such Excess Proceeds Offer is consummated (the "Offer
Date"). To the extent that the aggregate Accreted Value of Securities
tendered

<PAGE>

                                       83

pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds relating
thereto, the Company may use such additional Excess Proceeds for general
corporate purposes. If the Accreted Value of Securities validly tendered and not
withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Excess Proceeds, Securities to be
purchased will be selected on a PRO RATA basis (together with and including the
Series C Notes that may be outstanding pursuant to the Series C Indenture). Upon
completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be
reset to zero.

                  (d) If the Company becomes obligated to make an Offer pursuant
to clause (c) above, the Securities shall be purchased by the Company, at the
option of the holder thereof, in whole or in part in integral multiples of
$1,000 on a date that is not earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days
from the date the notice is given to holders, or such later date as may be
necessary for the Company to comply with the requirements under the Exchange
Act, subject to proration in the event the amount of Excess Proceeds is less
than the aggregate Offered Price of all Securities tendered.

                  (e) The Company will comply with the applicable tender offer
rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, in connection with an Excess
Proceeds Offer.

                  SECTION 1018.  LIMITATION ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENT
RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to
exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the
ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise,
or make any other distributions to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary on

or any other Restricted Subsidiary, (c) make loans or advances to the Company or
any other Restricted Subsidiary, or (d) transfer any of its properties or assets
to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, except in all such cases for
such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of (i) any
agreement or instrument in effect on the Issue Date and listed on Schedule D
attached to this Indenture, (ii) applicable law or regulation (including
corporate governance provisions required by applicable law and regulations of
the National Bank of Poland), (iii) customary non-assignment provisions of any
lease governing a leasehold interest of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary, (iv) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at the time of such
acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or
restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any
Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so
acquired, (v) any mortgage or other Lien on real property acquired or improved
by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date that prohibits
transfers of the type

<PAGE>

                                       84

described in (d) above with respect to such real property, (vi) with respect to
a Restricted Subsidiary, an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or
disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's Capital Stock in, or
substantially all the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary, (vii) the
refinancing of Indebtedness incurred under the agreements listed on Schedule B
attached to this Indenture or described in clause (v) above, so long as such
encumbrances or restrictions are no less favorable in any material respect to
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary than those contained in the respective
agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture, (viii) any such customary
encumbrance or restriction contained in a security document creating a Lien
permitted under this Indenture to the extent relating to the property or asset
subject to such Lien, (ix) any agreement or instrument governing or relating to
Senior Bank Indebtedness (an "Indebtedness Instrument") if such encumbrance or
restriction applies only (X) to amounts which at any point in time (other than
during such periods as are described in the following clause (Y)) (1) exceed
amounts due and payable (or which are to become due and payable within 30 days)
in respect of the Securities or this Indenture for interest, premium and
principal (after giving effect to any realization by the Company under any
applicable Currency Agreement), or (2) if paid, would result in an event
described in the following clause (Y) of this sentence, or (Y) during the
pendency of any event that causes, permits or, after notice or lapse of time,
would cause or permit the holder(s) of the Senior Bank Indebtedness governed by
the Indebtedness Instrument to declare any such Indebtedness to be immediately
due and payable or require cash collateralization or cash cover for such
Indebtedness for so long as such cash collateralization or cash cover has not
been provided, or (Z) arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business,
not relating to any Indebtedness and that do not individually, or together with
all such encumbrances or restrictions, detract from the value of property or
assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and (x) with respect to clause (d) above,
any license agreement entered in the ordinary course of business whereby the
Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary grants a license of programming or
other intellectual property to any other Person and such license agreement
prohibits or encumbers the transfer of the licensed property.

SUBSIDIARIES.

<PAGE>

                                       85

                  The Company will not make, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to make, any Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries
(other than Permitted Investments) if, at the time thereof, the amount of such
Investment would exceed the amount of Restricted Payments then permitted to be
made pursuant to Section 1011. Any Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries
permitted to be made pursuant to this covenant (a) will be treated as the making
of a Restricted Payment in calculating the amount of Restricted Payments made by
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (without duplication under the provisions
of clause (a) of paragraph (iv) of Section 1011 and (b) may be made in cash or
property (if made in property, the Fair Market Value thereof as determined by
the Board of Directors of the Company (whose determination shall be conclusive
and evidenced by a Board Resolution) shall be deemed to be the amount of such
Investment for the purpose of clause (a)).

                  SECTION 1020.  LIMITATION ON LINES OF BUSINESS.

                  The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company to, engage in any business other than the
Cable/Telecommunications Business, the Entertainment/Programming Business or the
DTH Business or any business or activity reasonably related thereto, including
the operation of a subscriber management or service business.

                  SECTION 1021.  WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

                  The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with
any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1007 through 1020,
inclusive, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by Act of
such Holders, waive such compliance in such instance with such term, provision
or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision
or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver
shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the
Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full
force and effect.

right of holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on
relevant interest payment dates); PROVIDED that immediately after giving effect

amount at maturity of the Securities remains outstanding. Any such redemption
shall be effected upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice given
within 30 days after the consummation of a Public Equity Offering.

                  SECTION 1102.  APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.

                  Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company or

the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of
Securities to be redeemed and shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation
and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Securities to be redeemed
pursuant to Section 1104.

                  SECTION 1104.  SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE
REDEEMED.

                  If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall
deem fair and appropriate; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no partial redemption shall
reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Security not redeemed to less
than $1,000.

                  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of
the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities
selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

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

                  SECTION 1105.  NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

                  Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided for

                  (2) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest to
         the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1107, if any,

                  (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities are to be
         redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of a partial redemption,
         the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed,

                  (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the
         notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the
         Redemption Date, upon

<PAGE>

                                       88

         surrender of such Security, the holder will receive, without charge, a
         new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the
         principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

                  (5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price (and
         accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in
         Section 1107) will become due and payable upon each such Security, or
         the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and that interest thereon will
         cease to accrue on and after said date, and

                  (6) the place or places where such Securities are to be
         surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest,
         if any.

                  Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the
election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's
request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

                  SECTION 1106.  DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

                  Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with
the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount
of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all
the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

                  SECTION 1107.  SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE.

                  Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the
Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and
payable at the Redemption Price therein specified (together with accrued
interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless
the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall
be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest,
if any, to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that installments of interest
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to
the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 309.

                  If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid
upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any)
shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by
the Securities.

                  SECTION 1108.  SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.

                  Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be
surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose
pursuant to Section 1002 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holders
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without
service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange
for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

                  The Company may, at its option and at any time, with respect
to the Securities, elect to have either Section 1302 or Section 1303 be applied
to all Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth
below in this Article Thirteen.

                  SECTION 1302.  DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 1301 of the option
applicable to this Section 1302, the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to all Outstanding Securities on
the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter,
"defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
Outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding"
only for the purposes of Section 1305 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities
are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company,

<PAGE>

                                       90

shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Securities to receive,
solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth
in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any,
on) and interest on such Securities when such payments are due, (B) the
Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305,
308, 1002 and 1003, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the
Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article Thirteen. Subject to compliance with this
Article Thirteen, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 1302
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1303 with respect
to the Securities.

                  SECTION 1303.  COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 1301 of the option
applicable to this Section 1303, the Company shall be released from its
obligations under any covenant contained in Section 801 (3) and in Sections 1007
through 1020 with respect to the Outstanding Securities on and after the date
the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant
defeasance"), and the Securities shall thereafter be deemed not to be
"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. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect
to the Outstanding Securities, 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 501(4), but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture
and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

                  SECTION 1304. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

                  (1) The Company shall irrevocably deposit or cause to be
         deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
         requirements of Section 607 who shall agree to comply with the
         provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as trust funds in

         combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the

         been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such
         U.S. Government Obligations to said payments with respect to the
         Securities. For this purpose, "U.S. Government Obligations" means

         either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer
         thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank
         (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act), as custodian
         with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specific
         payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S. Government
         Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such
         depository receipt, PROVIDED that (except as required by law) such
         custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount
         payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount
         received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation
         or the specific payment of principal of or interest on the U.S.
         Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

                  (2) No Default or Event of Default with respect to the
         Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
         deposit or, insofar as paragraphs (8) and (9) of Section 501 hereof are
         concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after
         the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall
         not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

                  (3) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in
         a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material
         agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the
         Company is a party or by which it is bound.

                  (4) In the case of an election under Section 1302, the Company
         shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United
         States stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has
         been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since
         the effective date of the Registration Statement there has

<PAGE>

                                       92

         been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case
         to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that,
         the Holders of the Outstanding Securities 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 times as would have been
         the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

                  (5) In the case of an election under Section 1303, the Company
         shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United
         States to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities
         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.

                  (6) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
         of Counsel in the United States to the effect that after the 91st day
         following the deposit or after the date such opinion is delivered, the
         trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable
         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting
         creditors' rights generally.

                  (7) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
         Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Securities
         over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of hindering,
         delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company.

                  (8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
         conditions precedent provided for relating to either the defeasance
         under Section 1302 or the covenant defeasance under Section 1303 (as
         the case may be) have been complied with.

TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

premium, if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law.

                  The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Governmental
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 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 s.

                  Anything in this Article Thirteen to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to
time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as
provided in Section 1304 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then
be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant
defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article.

                  SECTION 1306.  REINSTATEMENT.

                  If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money in accordance with Section 1305 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
Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303, as the case may be, until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with
Section 1305; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Company makes any payment of
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any following the reinstatement
of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders
to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

                     14 1/2% Senior Discount Note due 2009

1.       PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; SUBORDINATION.

                  The Company will pay the principal of this Note on February 1,
2009.

                  Original issue discount will accrete from the Issue Date
(January 27, 1999) up to February 1, 2004. Thereafter the Company promises to
pay cash interest on the principal amount of this Note on each Interest
Payment Date, as set forth below, at the rate of 14 1/2% per annum (subject
to adjustment as provided below).

                  Cash Interest will be payable semiannually (to the holders of
record of the Notes (or any predecessor Notes) at the close of business on
the January 15 and July 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date)
on each Interest Payment Date, commencing August 15, 2004. Except in the case
of a Registration Default (as defined herein), the principal of this Note
shall not accrue interest until February 1, 2004, except in the case of a
default in payment of the amount due at Maturity, in which case the amount
due on this Note shall bear interest at a rate of 17 1/2% per annum (to the
extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which
shall accrue from the date of such default to the date the payment of such
amount has been made or duly provided for. Interest on any overdue principal
amount shall be payable on demand.

                  The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of January 27, 1999, between the
Company, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). In the event that (i) the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) is not filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or prior
to the 70th calendar day following the date of original issuance of the Notes,
(ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective on or
prior to the 130th calendar day after the date of original issuance of the
Notes, (iii) the Exchange Offer (as such term is defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) is not consummated on or prior to the 160th calendar day after
the date of original issuance of the Notes or, as the case may be, a Shelf
Registration Statement (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) with respect to the Notes is not declared effective on or prior to
the 160th day after the date of original issuance of the Notes or (iv) the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement is
declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable within the
applicable period as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement except
pursuant

<PAGE>
                                      A-5

to Section 2(d)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement (each such event
referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) above, a "Registration Default"), then
the Company will be required to pay additional interest in cash on each Interest
Payment Date in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) per annum of
the applicable Accreted Value, with respect to the first 90-day period following
such Registration Default. The amount of such additional interest will increase
by an additional one-half of one percent (0.5%) per annum for each subsequent
90-day period until such Registration Default has been cured, up to a maximum of
one and one-half percent (1.5%) per annum. Such additional interest shall cease
to accrue when such Registration Default has been cured. Upon (x) the filing of
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 70-day period described in
clause (i) above, (y) the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement after the 130-day period described in clause (ii) above or the period
during which it ceases to be effective or usable as described in clause (iv)
above or (z) the consummation of the Exchange Offer after the 160-day period or
the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement after the 160-day period, as
the case may be, described in clause (iii) above or after the period during
which such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective or usable as
described in clause (iv) above, and provided that none of the conditions set
forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above continues to exist, a
Registration Default will be deemed to be cured.

                  Cash interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent
date to which cash interest has been paid on this Note or the Note
surrendered in exchange herefor or, if no cash interest has been paid, from
February 1, 2004; PROVIDED that, if there is no existing default in the
payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a Regular
Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, cash interest shall accrue from such Interest Payment Date.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months.

                  The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and
premium, if any, and interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent
lawful, at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the
Notes.

2.       METHOD OF PAYMENT

                  The Company will pay cash interest (except defaulted
interest) on the principal amount of the Notes on each February 1 and
August 1 commencing August 1, 2004 to the persons who are Holders (as
reflected in the Note Register at the close of business on the January 15 and
July 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date), in each case, even
if the Note is canceled on registration of transfer or registration of
exchange after such record date; PROVIDED that, with respect to the payment
of principal, the Company will make payment to the Holder that surrenders
this Note to any Paying Agent on or after February 1, 2009.

<PAGE>
                                      A-6

                  The Company will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest
in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may pay principal,
premium, if any, and interest by its check payable in such money. The Company
may mail an interest check to a Holder's registered address (as reflected in the
Note Register). If a payment date is a date other than a Business Day at a place
of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is
a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.

3.       PAYING AGENT AND NOTE REGISTRAR.

                  Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Note
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Note Registrar upon
written notice thereto. The Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of
them may act as Paying Agent, Note Registrar or co-registrar.

4.       INDENTURE; LIMITATIONS.

                  The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
January 27, 1999 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and Bankers Trust
Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms herein are used as
defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. 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. The Notes are subject to all such terms,
and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a
statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the
event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the
Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.

                  The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company
ranking pari passu in right of payment with all other existing and future
unsubordinated obligations of the Company and senior in right of payment to any
existing and future obligations of the Company expressly subordinated in right
of payment to the Notes. The Indenture limits the aggregate principal amount at
maturity of the Notes to $256,800,000.

5.       OPTIONAL REDEMPTION AND OPTIONAL REDEMPTION UPON A PUBLIC EQUITY
OFFERING.

                  The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in
whole or in part, at any time on or after February 1, 2004 on not less than 30
or more than 60 days' prior notice at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of principal amount at maturity) set

</TABLE>

                  At any time or from time to time prior to February 1, 2002 the
Company may redeem up to a maximum of 35% of the initially outstanding aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Notes with some or all of the net cash
proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to
117.5% of the Accreted Value thereof on the redemption date, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of
holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on relevant
interest payment dates); PROVIDED that immediately after giving effect to such
redemption, at least 65% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount at
maturity of the Notes remains outstanding. Any such redemption shall be effected
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice given within 30 days after
the consummation of a Public Equity Offering.

                  Notice of a redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder to be redeemed at
such Holder's last address as it appears in the Note Register. Notes in original
denominations larger than $1,000 principal amount at maturity may be redeemed in
part in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount at maturity. On and after
the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes
called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the
Redemption Price.

6.       REPURCHASE UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL AND ASSET SALES.

                  (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of
Notes shall have the right to require that the Company purchase such holder's
Notes, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount at
maturity, at a purchase price in cash of

<PAGE>
                                      A-8

101% of the Accreted Value thereof on the redemption date, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of
holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on relevant
interest payment dates), and (b) upon the occurrence of an Asset Sale, the
Company may be obligated to make an offer to purchase all or a portion of the
outstanding Notes with a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale at
a redemption price of 100% of the Accreted Value thereof on the redemption date
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

7.       DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE.

                  The Notes are in registered form without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 principal amount at maturity and any integral multiple
thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance
with the Indenture. The Note Registrar may require a Holder, among other things,
to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes
and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Note Registrar need
not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes selected for redemption
(except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part). Also, it
need not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes for a period of 15 days
before a selection of Notes to be redeemed is made.

8.       PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

                  A Holder may be treated as the owner of a Note for all
purposes.

9.       UNCLAIMED MONEY.

                  If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will
pay the money back to the Company at its request. After that, Holders entitled
to the money must look to the Company for payment, unless an abandoned property
law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying
Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

10.      AMENDMENT; SUPPLEMENT; 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 at maturity of the Notes then
outstanding, and any existing default or compliance with

<PAGE>
                                      A-9

any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding. Without
notice to or the consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or
supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity
or inconsistency and make any change that does not materially adversely affect
the rights of any Holder.

12.      RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

                  The Indenture contains certain covenants, including, without
limitation, covenants with respect to the following matters: (i) Indebtedness;
(ii) Restricted Payments; (iii) issuances and sales of Subsidiary stock; (iv)
transactions with Affiliates; (v) Liens; (vi) guarantees of Indebtedness by
Subsidiaries; (vii) purchase of Notes upon a Change of Control, (viii) Asset
Sales and disposition of the proceeds thereof; (ix) dividends and other payment
restrictions affecting Subsidiaries; (x) investments in Unrestricted
Subsidiaries; (xi) merger and certain transfers of assets; and (xii) lines of
business. At the end of each quarter and fiscal year, the Company must report to
the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

13.      SUCCESSOR PERSONS.

                  When a successor person or other entity assumes all the
obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, the
predecessor person will be released from those obligations.

14.      REMEDIES FOR EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

<PAGE>
                                      A-10

                  If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the
Company (and to the Trustee, if such notice is given by the Holders) may declare
all the Notes to be immediately due and payable and upon any such declaration
all such amounts payable in respect of the Notes shall become immediately due
and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Company
or any of its Significant Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, the Notes and
all such amounts payable in respect of the Notes shall automatically become
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder of Notes. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the
Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity
satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to
certain limitations, Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or
power.

15.      TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY.

                  The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may make loans to,
accept deposits from, perform services for, and otherwise deal with, the Company
and its Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

16.      AUTHENTICATION.

                  This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the
certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

17.      ABBREVIATIONS.

                     14 1/2% Senior Discount Note due 2009

1.       PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; SUBORDINATION.

                  The Company will pay the principal of this Note on February 1,
2009.

                  Original issue discount will accrete from the Issue Date
(January 27, 1999) up to February 1, 2004. Thereafter the Company promises to
pay cash interest on the principal amount of this Note on each Interest
Payment Date, as set forth below, at the rate of 14 1/2% per annum (subject
to adjustment as provided below).

                  Cash Interest will be payable semiannually (to the holders
of record of the Notes (or any predecessor Notes) at the close of business on
the January 15 and July 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date)
on each Interest Payment Date, commencing August 1, 2004. Except in the case
of a Registration Default (as defined herein), the principal of this Note
shall not accrue cash interest until February 1, 2004, except in the case of
a default in payment of the amount due at Maturity, in which case the amount
due on this Note shall bear cash interest at a rate of 17 1/2% per annum (to
the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable),
which shall accrue from the date of such default to the date the payment of
such amount has been made or duly provided for. Interest on any overdue
principal amount shall be payable on demand.

                  The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of January 27, 1999, between the
Company, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). In the event that (i) the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) is not filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or prior
to the 70th calendar day following the date of original issuance of the Notes,
(ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective on or
prior to the 130th calendar day after the date of original issuance of the
Notes, (iii) the Exchange Offer (as such term is defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) is not consummated on or prior to the 160th calendar day after
the date of original issuance of the Notes or, as the case may be, a Shelf
Registration Statement (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) with respect to the Notes is not declared effective on or prior to
the 160th day after the date of original issuance of the Notes or (iv) the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement is
declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable within the
applicable period as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement except
pursuant

<PAGE>
                                      A-16

to Section 2(d)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement (each such event
referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) above, a "Registration Default"), then
the Company will be required to pay additional interest in cash on each Interest
Payment Date in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) per annum of
the applicable Accreted Value, with respect to the first 90-day period following
such Registration Default. The amount of such additional interest will increase
by an additional one-half of one percent (0.5%) per annum for each subsequent
90-day period until such Registration Default has been cured, up to a maximum of
one and one-half percent (1.5%) per annum. Such additional interest shall cease
to accrue when such Registration Default has been cured. Upon (x) the filing of
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 70-day period described in
clause (i) above, (y) the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement after the 130-day period described in clause (ii) above or the period
during which it ceases to be effective or usable as described in clause (iv)
above or (z) the consummation of the Exchange Offer after the 160-day period or
the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement after the 160-day period, as
the case may be, described in clause (iii) above or after the period during
which such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective or usable as
described in clause (iv) above, and provided that none of the conditions set
forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above continues to exist, a
Registration Default will be deemed to be cured.

                  Cash interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent
date to which cash interest has been paid on this Note or the Note
surrendered in exchange herefor or, if no cash interest has been paid, from
February 1, 2004; PROVIDED that, if there is no existing default in the
payment of cash interest and if this Note is authenticated between a Regular
Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, cash interest shall accrue from such Interest Payment Date.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months.

                  The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and
premium, if any, and interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent
lawful, at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the
Notes.

2.       METHOD OF PAYMENT

                  The Company will pay interest (except defaulted interest)
on the principal amount of the Notes on each February 1 and August 1,
commencing August 1, 2004 to the persons who are Holders (as reflected in the
Note Register at the close of business on the January 15 and July 15
immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date), in each case, even if the
Note is canceled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange
after such record date; PROVIDED that, with respect to the payment of
principal, the Company will make payment to the Holder that surrenders this
Note to any Paying Agent on or after February 1, 2009.

<PAGE>
                                      A-17

                  The Company will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest
in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may pay principal,
premium, if any, and interest by its check payable in such money. The Company
may mail an interest check to a Holder's registered address (as reflected in the
Note Register). If a payment date is a date other than a Business Day at a place
of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is
a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.

3.       PAYING AGENT AND NOTE REGISTRAR.

                  Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Note
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Note Registrar upon
written notice thereto. The Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of
them may act as Paying Agent, Note Registrar or co-registrar.

4.       INDENTURE; LIMITATIONS.

                  The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
January 27, 1999 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and Bankers Trust
Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms herein are used as
defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. 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. The Notes are subject to all such terms,
and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a
statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the
event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the
Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.

                  The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company
ranking pari passu in right of payment with all other existing and future
unsubordinated obligations of the Company and senior in right of payment to any
existing and future obligations of the Company expressly subordinated in right
of payment to the Notes. The Indenture limits the aggregate principal amount at
maturity of the Notes to $256,800,000.

5.       OPTIONAL REDEMPTION AND OPTIONAL REDEMPTION UPON A PUBLIC EQUITY
OFFERING.

                  The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in
whole or in part, at any time on or after February 1, 2004 on not less than 30
or more than 60 days' prior notice at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of principal amount at maturity) set

</TABLE>

                  At any time or from time to time prior to February 1, 2002 the
Company may redeem up to a maximum of 35% of the initially outstanding aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Notes with some or all of the net cash
proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to
117.5% of the Accreted Value thereof on the redemption date, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of
holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on relevant
interest payment dates); PROVIDED that immediately after giving effect to such
redemption, at least 65% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount at
maturity of the Notes remains outstanding. Any such redemption shall be effected
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice given within 30 days after
the consummation of a Public Equity Offering.

                  Notice of a redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder to be redeemed at
such Holder's last address as it appears in the Note Register. Notes in original
denominations larger than $1,000 principal amount at maturity may be redeemed in
part in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount at maturity. On and after
the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes
called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the
Redemption Price.

6.       REPURCHASE UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL AND ASSET SALES.

                  (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of
Notes shall have the right to require that the Company purchase such holder's
Notes, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount at

<PAGE>
                                      A-19

101% of the Accreted Value thereof on the redemption date, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of
holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on relevant
interest payment dates), and (b) upon the occurrence of an Asset Sale, the
Company may be obligated to make an offer to purchase all or a portion of the
outstanding Notes with a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale at
a redemption price of 100% of the Accreted Value thereof on the redemption date
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

7.       DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE.

                  The Notes are in registered form without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 principal amount at maturity and any integral multiple
thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance
with the Indenture. The Note Registrar may require a Holder, among other things,
to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes
and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Note Registrar need
not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes selected for redemption
(except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part). Also, it
need not register the transfer or exchan?ge of any Notes for a period of 15 days
before a selection of Notes to be redeemed is made.

8.       PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

A                 Holder may be treated as the owner of a Note for all purposes.

9.       UNCLAIMED MONEY.

                  If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will
pay the money back to the Company at its request. After that, Holders entitled
to the money must look to the Company for payment, unless an abandoned property
law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying
Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

10.      AMENDMENT; SUPPLEMENT; 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 at maturity of the Notes then
outstanding, and any existing default or compliance with

<PAGE>
                                      A-20

any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding. Without
notice to or the consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or
supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity
or inconsistency and make any change that does not materially adversely affect
the rights of any Holder.

12.      RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

                  The Indenture contains certain covenants, including, without
limitation, covenants with respect to the following matters: (i) Indebtedness;
(ii) Restricted Payments; (iii) issuances and sales of Subsidiary stock; (iv)
transactions with Affiliates; (v) Liens; (vi) guarantees of Indebtedness by
Subsidiaries; (vii) purchase of Notes upon a Change of Control, (viii) Asset
Sales and disposition of the proceeds thereof; (ix) dividends and other payment
restrictions affecting Subsidiaries; (x) investments in Unrestricted
Subsidiaries; (xi) merger and certain transfers of assets; and (xii) lines of
business. At the end of each quarter and fiscal year, the Company must report to
the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

13.      SUCCESSOR PERSONS.

                  When a successor person or other entity assumes all the
obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, the
predecessor person will be released from those obligations.

14.      REMEDIES FOR EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

<PAGE>
                                      A-21

                  If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the
Company (and to the Trustee, if such notice is given by the Holders) may declare
all the Notes to be immediately due and payable and upon any such declaration
all such amounts payable in respect of the Notes shall become immediately due
and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to the Company
or any of its Significant Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, the Notes and
all such amounts payable in respect of the Notes shall automatically become
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder of Notes. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the
Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity
satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to
certain limitations, Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or
power.

15.      TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY.

                  The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may make loans to,
accept deposits from, perform services for, and otherwise deal with, the Company
and its Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

16.      AUTHENTICATION.

                  This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the
