                                   ARTICLE 1.
                          DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION
                                  BY REFERENCE

Section 1.01.  Definitions.

     "144A Global Note" means a global note substantially in the form of Exhibit
A1 hereto bearing the Global Note Legend and the Private Placement Legend and
deposited with or on behalf of, and registered in the name of, the Depositary or
its nominee that will be issued in a denomination equal to the outstanding
principal amount of the Notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A.

     "Acquired Debt" means, with respect to any specified Person, (i)
Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is
merged with or into or became a Subsidiary of such specified Person, whether or
not such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of,
such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Subsidiary of, such
specified Person and (ii) Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset
acquired by such specified Person.

     "Affiliate" of any specified Person means any other Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, "control,"
as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or
indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or
policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by
agreement or otherwise; provided that beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the
Voting Stock of a Person shall be deemed to be control. For purposes of this
definition, the terms "controlling," "controlled by" and "under common control
with" have correlative meanings.

     "Agent" means any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar.

     "Applicable Procedures" means, with respect to any transfer or exchange of
or for beneficial interests in any Global Note, the rules and procedures of the

     "Asset Sale" means:

(1)  the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of any assets or rights,
     other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business consistent
     with past practices; provided that the sale, conveyance or other
     disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and

exchange rule or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are
hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors
and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly
agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the
extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this
Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

     (b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A1 or A2 attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend
thereon and the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note" attached
thereto) which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes
represented thereby with the Trustee, at its St. Paul, Minnesota office, as
custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or

principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time
be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.
Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or
decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented
thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the
Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required
by Section 2.06 hereof.

     (c) Temporary Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on

the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of
the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of
Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the
Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Restricted Period shall be terminated upon
the receipt by the Trustee of (i) a written certificate from the Depositary,
together with copies of certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream certifying
that they have received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership
of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global
Note (except to the extent of any beneficial owners thereof who acquired an
interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and who will take delivery of a beneficial
ownership interest in a 144A Global Note as contemplated by Section 2.06(b)(ii)
hereof), and (ii) an Officers' Certificate from the Company. Following the
termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S
Temporary Global Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in Regulation

Section 2.02.  Execution and Authentication.

         Two Officers shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or
facsimile signature.

         If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office
at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

         A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature
of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has
been authenticated under this Indenture.

         The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by two
Officers (an "Authentication Order"), authenticate Notes for original issue up
to the aggregate principal amount stated in paragraph 4 of the Notes.

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

Section 2.03.  Registrar and Paying Agent.

         The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.
The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional
paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term
"Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify
the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this
Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

         The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to
act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

         The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and
Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.04.  Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

         The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of
Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal, and premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes,
and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such
payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment
over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a
Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the
Trustee. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate
and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held
by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings
relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

                                       24

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

transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary,
by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the
Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary
or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by
the Company for Definitive Notes if (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee
notice from the Depositary that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to
continue to act as Depositary or that the Depositary is no longer a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor
Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of
such notice from the Depositary, (ii) the Company in its sole discretion
determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged
for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee
or (iii) there has occurred and is occurring a Default or an Event of Default
with respect to the Notes; provided that in no event shall the Regulation S
Temporary Global Note be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes prior to
(x) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (y) the receipt by the Registrar
of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the
Securities Act. Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (i) or
(ii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary
shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in
whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note
authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any
portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof,
shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided
in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be
transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

          (b)  Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global
Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes
shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of
this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the
Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable
to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act.
Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require
compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as
one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

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

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

     to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial
     interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the

     whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer
     or exchange referred to in (1) above; provided that in no event shall

     interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note prior to (x) the
     expiration of the Restricted Period and (y) the receipt by the Registrar of
     any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903. Upon consummation of an
     Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance with Section 2.06(f) hereof,
     the requirements of this Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall be deemed to have been
     satisfied upon receipt by the Registrar of the instructions contained in
     the Letter of Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial
     interests in the Restricted Global Notes. Upon satisfaction of all of the
     requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global
     Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable
     under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of
     the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(h) hereof.

          (iii)  Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global
     Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be
     transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
     beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer
     complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) above and the
     Registrar receives the following:

                 (A) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a

          deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the
          certifications in item (1) thereof;

                 (B) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a

          certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the
          certifications in item (2) thereof; and

                 (C) if the transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor
          who will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the
          144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in
          the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications and
          certificates and Opinion of Counsel required by item (3) thereof, if

               Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the
               Company;

                    (B) such transfer is effected pursuant to the Shelf

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

                    thereof; or

                         (2) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a
                    Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such beneficial
                    interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the
                    form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global

               no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the
               Securities Act.

"THE RIGHTS ATTACHING TO THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE, AND THE
CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING ITS EXCHANGE FOR CERTIFICATED NOTES, ARE AS
SPECIFIED IN THE INDENTURE (AS DEFINED HEREIN). NEITHER THE HOLDER NOR THE
BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE ENTITLED
TO RECEIVE PAYMENT OF INTEREST HEREON."

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

     (i)  General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

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

          (ii)  No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial
     interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any
     registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment
     of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental
     charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes
     or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant
     to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15, 4.23 and 9.05 hereof).

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

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

          (v)   The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the
     transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the
     opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for
     redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on
     the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any
     Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
     portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer
     of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding
     Interest Payment Date.

          (vi)  Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of
     any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the
     Person in whose name any Note is

                                       35

<PAGE>

          registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of
          receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for
          all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company
          shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          (vii)  The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive
          Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

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

Section 2.07.     Replacement Notes.

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

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

Section 2.08.     Outstanding Notes.

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

          If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser; provided that the aggregate
principal amount stated in paragraph 4 of the Notes shall not increase by reason
of this Section 2.08 or Section 2.07 hereof.

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

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

Section 2.09.     Treasury Notes.

          In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the
Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or
under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be

                                       36

<PAGE>

considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned
shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.10.     Temporary Notes.

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

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

Section 2.11.     Cancellation.

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

Section 2.12.     Defaulted Interest.

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

Section 3.01.     Notices to Trustee.

         If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee,
at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an
Officers' Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to
which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal
amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

Section 3.02.     Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

         If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an
offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed
or purchased among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements
of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are
listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in
accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In
the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed
shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding
Notes not previously called for redemption.

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

Section 3.03.     Notice of Redemption.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but
not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause
to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose
Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder's registered address, except that
redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if
the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of notes or a satisfaction
and discharge of the indenture.

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

         (a)      the redemption date;

         (b)      the redemption price;

         (c)      if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the

principal
amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon
surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

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

         (f)      that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption
payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after
the redemption date;

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

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

                                       38

<PAGE>
         At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; provided, however, that the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the
redemption date, an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such
notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided
in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04.     Effect of Notice of Redemption.

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

Section 3.05.     Deposit of Redemption Price.

         On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of
and accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed
on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the
Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company
in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued
interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.

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

Section 3.06.     Notes Redeemed in Part.

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

Section 3.07.     Optional Redemption.

         (a) Except as set forth in clause (b) of this Section 3.07, the Company
shall not have the option to redeem the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.07

redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the applicable redemption
date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on December 15 of the
years indicated below:

         Year                                                  Percentage
         ----                                                  ----------
         2005 ................................................  106.250%
         2006 ................................................  103.125%
         2007 and thereafter .................................  100.000%

         (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of this Section 3.07,
at any time prior to December 15, 2004, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes

                                       39

<PAGE>

originally issued with the net cash proceeds of an initial public offering of
its common stock or the net cash proceeds from the issuance of Equity Interests,
other than Disqualified Stock, to third parties other than the Parent Entity, at
a redemption price equal to 112.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any;
provided that at least 65% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally
issued remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption
and that such redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing of
such initial public offering or other equity cash investment.

         (c)      Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 3.08.     Mandatory Redemption.

         The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.09.     Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

         In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company shall
be required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an "Asset
Sale Offer"), it shall follow the procedures specified below.

         The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days
following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer
period is required by applicable law (the "Offer Period"). No later than five
Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the "Purchase Date"),
the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be
purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof (the "Offer Amount") or, if less than
the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset
Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner
as interest payments are made.

         If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or
before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall
be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of
business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to
Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

         Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall send,
by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a
copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials
necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which
shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

         (a)      that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this
Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer
shall remain open;

         (b)      the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

         (c)      that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall
continue to accrete or accrue interest;

         (d)      that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any
Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to
accrete or accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

                                       40

<PAGE>

     (e) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset
Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in integral multiples of $1,000
only;

     (f) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset
Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled
"Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, or
transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a depositary, if appointed by
the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least
three days before the Purchase Date;

     (g) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the
Company, the depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not
later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal
amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

     (h) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders
exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased on
a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the
Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples
thereof, shall be purchased); and

     (i) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued
new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes
surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

     On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful,
accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer
Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer,
or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such Notes or
portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the
terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as
the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after
the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to
the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the
Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the
Trustee, upon written request from the Company shall authenticate and mail or
deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any
unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be
promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company
shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase
Date.

     The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the
repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 3.09
and/or Section 4.10 hereof, the Company shall comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under this Section 3.09 and/or Section 4.10 hereof by virtue of such
conflict.

     Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase
pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 4.01.     Payment of Notes.

         The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the
Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the

Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay
all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. The Company shall pay all
Liquidated Damages, if any, in the same manner on the dates and in the amounts
set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The
Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of 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.

         The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or
all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; 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 Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any
change in the location of any such other office or agency.

as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03.

"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company
and the Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and
results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries. In addition, following
consummation of the Exchange Offer, whether or not required by the rules and
regulations of the SEC, the Company shall file a copy of all such information
and reports referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph with the SEC
for public availability within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
regulations (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and make such
information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon
request. The Company shall at all times comply with TIA (S) 314(a).

     (b)          For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company and
the Parent Guarantors and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall furnish to the Holders
and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the
information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act.

Section 4.04.     Compliance Certificate.

     (a)          The Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that such
Guarantor is so required under the TIA) shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90
days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers' Certificate stating that a
review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the
preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing
Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed,
performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further
stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of
his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled
each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this
Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing
all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and
what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and
that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in
existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest
or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has
occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto.

     (b)          So long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.03(a) above shall be accompanied by a
written statement of the Company's independent public accountants (who shall be
a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination
necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to
their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has violated
any provisions of Article 4 or Article 5 hereof or, if any such violation has
occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being
understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to
any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

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

Section 4.05.  Taxes.

         The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay,
prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies
except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or
where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect
to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.06.  Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

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

Section 4.07.  Restricted Payments.

         The Parent Entity and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any
of the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: (i) declare
or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the
Company's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' or the Parent Entity's Equity
Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any
merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries or the Parent Entity) or to the direct or indirect holders of the
Company's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' or Parent Entity's Equity
Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions
payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or
dividends or distributions payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company); (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value
(including without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation
involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or
indirect parent of the Company; (iii) make any payment on or with respect to, or
purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any
Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Notes or the Parent Guarantee or the
Subsidiary Guarantee, except a payment of interest or principal at the Stated
Maturity thereof; or (iv) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and
other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively
referred to as "Restricted Payments"), unless, at the time of and after giving
effect to such Restricted Payment:

               (a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
         be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; and

               (b) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment
         and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment
         had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period,
         have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
         pursuant to the Leverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of
         Section 4.09 hereof; and

               (c) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate
         amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its
         Restricted Subsidiaries after the date of this Indenture (excluding
         Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii)
         and (viii) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum,
         without duplication, of (i) 30% of the

                                       44

<PAGE>
     Consolidated Net Income of Paperweight Development Corp. for the period
     (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal
     quarter commencing after the date of this Indenture to the end of
     Paperweight Development Corp.'s most recently ended fiscal quarter for
     which internal financial statements are available at the time of such
     Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is
     a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus (ii) 100% of the aggregate net
     cash proceeds received by the Company since the date of this Indenture as a
     contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of
     Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the
     issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Company
     that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other
     than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a
     Subsidiary of the Company), plus (iii) to the extent that any Restricted
     Investment that was made after the date of this Indenture is sold for cash
     or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of (A) the cash
     return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost
     of disposition, if any) and (B) the initial amount of such Restricted
     Investment, plus (iv) upon the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary
     as a Restricted Subsidiary, the lesser of (A) the fair market value of such
     Subsidiary or (B) the Company's initial Investment in such Subsidiary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Entity and the Company shall not, and
shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment in
respect of the Deferred Payment Obligation prior to its Stated Maturity.

     So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof, the foregoing provisions
shall not prohibit (i) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date
of declaration thereof, if at said date of declaration such payment would have
complied with the provisions of this Indenture; (ii) the redemption, repurchase,
retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any subordinated Indebtedness of
the Company or any Guarantor or of any Equity Interests of the Company in
exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent
sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests
of the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock); provided that the amount of
any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption,
repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition shall be excluded from
clause (c)(ii) of the preceding paragraph; (iii) the defeasance, redemption,
repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of subordinated Indebtedness of the
Company or any Guarantor with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness unless otherwise prohibited by the terms of
this Indenture; (iv) the payment of any dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis; (v) the
payment of loans, advances, dividends or distributions by the Company to the
Parent Entity to permit the Parent Entity to satisfy its legal obligations to
pay taxes and administrative and other expenses incurred in the ordinary course
of business provided that such amounts are promptly used to pay such taxes and
administrative and other expenses and provided further that such amounts may not
exceed, without duplication, $1,000,000 in the aggregate for payments to the
Parent Entity in any twelve month period; (vi) issuances of Capital Stock by
Paperweight Development Corp. to the ESOP in satisfaction of the employer
matching obligation under the ESOP; (vii) investments acquired solely as a
capital contribution; and (viii) distributions by the Company to permit
Paperweight Development Corp. to repay the Intercompany Acquisition Loan so long
as the amount of any such distribution is simultaneously netted against amounts
owing to the Company under the Intercompany Acquisition Loan and no cash is paid
as a result of any such distribution.

     The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair
market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities
proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair
market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this
Section 4.07 shall be determined by the Board of Directors whose resolution with
respect thereto shall be delivered to the

                                       45

<PAGE>
Trustee, such determination to be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by
an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if such
fair market value exceeds $7.5 million. Not later than the date of making any
Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth
the basis upon which the calculations required by this Section 4.07 were
computed, together with a copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by
this Indenture.

Section 4.08.   Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
                Subsidiaries.

     The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become
effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any
Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on
its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with
respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits,
or pay any indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, (b) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries or (c) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except for such encumbrances or restrictions
existing under or by reason of (i) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness
and the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof and any amendments,
modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
replacements or refinancings of those agreements, provided that the amendments,
modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with
respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in
those agreements on the date of this Indenture; (ii) this Indenture, the Notes
and the Parent Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantee; (iii) applicable law;
(iv) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of
such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was
incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), 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, provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such
Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred; (v)
customary non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses and supply contracts
entered into in the ordinary course of business; (vi) purchase money obligations
for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose
restrictions on that property of the nature described in clause (c) of this
Section 4.08; (vii) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of the
assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions
by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; (viii)
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the restrictions contained in
the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more
restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing
the Indebtedness being refinanced; (ix) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise
permitted to be incurred under Section 4.12 hereof that limit the right of the
debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; (x) provisions with
respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint
venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other
similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; (xi)
restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under
contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; (xii) any agreement
governing Indebtedness incurred after the date of this Indenture permitted under
Section 4.09 hereof; provided that the restrictions contained in any such
agreement, taken as a whole, are not less favorable to the Holders of the Notes
than those contained in the agreements governing Existing Indebtedness; or
(xiii) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by amendments, modifications,
restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or
refinancings of contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (i)
through (xii) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements,
renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are
no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend or other
payment

                                       46

<PAGE>
restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions
prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase,
supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

Section 4.09.     Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

         The Parent Entity and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any
of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or
otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including
Acquired Debt) and the Company shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall
not permit the Parent Entity to issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not
permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided,
however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or
issue Disqualified Stock, and the Company's Subsidiary Guarantors may incur
Indebtedness or issue preferred stock, if the Leverage Ratio of Paperweight
Development Corp. at the time of incurrence of such Indebtedness or the issuance
of such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock, as the case may be, after
giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or issuance as of such date and to
the use of proceeds therefrom as if the same had occurred at the beginning of
the most recently ended four full fiscal quarter period of Paperweight
Development Corp. for which internal financial statements are available, would
have been no greater than:

                  (a)      3.25 to 1, if such incurrence or issuance is on or
         prior to September 30, 2002;

                  (b)      2.50 to 1, if such incurrence or issuance is after
         September 30, 2002 but on or prior to September 30, 2003;

                  (c)      2.25 to 1, if such incurrence or issuance is after
         September 30, 2003 but on or prior to September 30, 2004; or

                  (d)      1.75 to 1 thereafter.

         The provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 4.09 shall not
prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness
(collectively, "Permitted Debt"):

                  (i)      the incurrence by the Company of additional

         Indebtedness and letters of credit, and the incurrence by the
         Guarantors of related Guarantees, under the Credit Agreement in an
         aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this
         clause (i) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal
         amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its
         Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed $340.0 million (a)
         less the aggregate amount of all repayments, optional or mandatory, of
         the principal of any term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or
         the guarantees thereof (other than repayments that are concurrently
         reborrowed) that have been made by the Company or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries since the date hereof and (b) less the aggregate amount of
         all commitment reductions with respect to any revolving credit
         borrowings under the Credit Agreement or the guarantees thereof that
         have been made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
         since the date hereof, provided, however, that no repayments or
         reductions under the immediately preceding clauses (a) or (b) shall
         reduce below $75.0 million the amount of Indebtedness that may be
         outstanding at any one time under this clause (i);

                  (ii)     the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted
         Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;

                                       47

<PAGE>

         (iii)  the incurrence by the Parent Entity of the Deferred Payment
     Obligation and Intercompany Acquisition Loan;

         (iv)   the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness
     represented by the Notes and the related Parent Guarantee and the
     Subsidiary Guarantee to be issued on the date hereof and the Exchange Notes
     and the related Parent Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantee to be issued
     pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;

         (v)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations,
     mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred
     for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost
     of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the
     business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate
     principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred
     to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this
     clause (v), not to exceed 3% of the consolidated tangible net assets of the
     Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the last day of the most
     recently ended full fiscal quarter period of the Company for which internal
     financial statements are available, with tangible net assets being
     calculated for this purpose as the sum of (a) Consolidated Current Assets
     plus (b) consolidated property, plant and equipment (net of accumulated
     depreciation) calculated in accordance with GAAP and set forth on the
     consolidated balance sheet at such date less (c) Consolidated Current
     Liabilities;

         (vi)   the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the
     net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness
     (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture
     to be incurred under the first paragraph of this Section 4.09 or clauses
     (ii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (xi) of this paragraph;

         (vii)  the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and
     any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

                (A)    if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such
         Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the
         prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the
         Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Subsidiary Guarantee or
         Parent Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and

                (B)    (1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity
         Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person
         other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and
         (2) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person
         that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
         Company; shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of
         such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the
         case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (vii);

         (viii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations provided, that to the extent such
     Hedging Obligations relate to Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is permitted
     by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding;

                                       48

<PAGE>

          (ix)   the guarantee by the Company or any of the Guarantors of
     Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that
     was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09;

          (x)    the accrual of interest, the accretion (including the accretion
     on the Deferred Payment Obligation) or amortization of original issue
     discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of
     additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends
     on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of
     Disqualified Stock shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness
     or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09;

          (xi)   the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount
     (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all
     Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace
     any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xi), not to exceed $20.0
     million;

          (xii)  the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness or Obligations
     represented by or incurred pursuant to the Environmental Indemnity
     Agreements;

          (xiii) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
     arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a
     check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of
     daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary
     course of business, provided that such indebtedness is satisfied within
     three business days of incurrence;

          (xiv)  the incurrence by the Company's Unrestricted Subsidiaries of
     Non-Recourse Debt; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness ceases
     to be Non-Recourse Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such event shall be
     deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of
     the Company that was not permitted by this clause (xiv);

          (xv)   Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a
     Restricted Subsidiary or the Parent Entity providing for indemnification,
     adjustment of purchase price, earn out or other similar obligations, in
     each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any
     business, assets or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than guarantees of
     Indebtedness incurred by any person acquiring all or any portion of such
     business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such
     acquisition; provided that the maximum assumable liability in respect of
     all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed 20% of the gross proceeds
     actually received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in
     connection with such disposition;

          (xvi)  obligations in respect of performance and surety bonds provided
     by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in the ordinary
     course of business consistent with past practice; and

          (xvii) Indebtedness arising under the Intercompany Acquisition Loan,
     provided, however, that such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to
     the Parent Guarantee.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not permit the Parent
Entity to amend, modify, change or refinance the Deferred Payment Obligation.

     For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event
that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories of Permitted Debt described

                                       49

<PAGE>

in clauses (i) through (xvi) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to
the first paragraph of this Section 4.09, the Company shall be permitted to
classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later
reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that
complies with this Section 4.09 and such item of Indebtedness shall be treated
as having been incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to the
first paragraph of this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement
outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under
this Indenture shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on
the exception provided by clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Debt.
Accrual of interest shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for
purposes of this Section 4.09.

Section 4.10.   Asset Sales.

     The Parent Entity and the Company shall not, and the Company shall not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(i) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary or Parent Entity, as the case may
be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the
fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise
disposed of, (ii) the fair market value is determined by the Company's Board of
Directors and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in
an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee and (iii) at least 75% of the
consideration received therefor by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or
Parent Entity is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, however,
that the amount of (x) any liabilities, as shown on the Company's or such
Restricted Subsidiary's or Parent Entity's most recent balance sheet, of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or Parent Entity (other than contingent
liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or
any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to
a customary novation agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary or Parent Entity from further liability and (y) any securities, notes
or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary
or Parent Entity from such transferee that are contemporaneously, subject to
ordinary settlement periods, converted by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary or Parent Entity into cash, to the extent of the cash received in
that conversion, shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision. A
transfer of assets by the Company to a Subsidiary Guarantor or by a Subsidiary
Guarantor to the Company or to another Subsidiary Guarantor, and an issuance of
Equity Interests by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to another
Restricted Subsidiary, shall not be deemed to be an Asset Sale. Any Restricted
Payment that is permitted by Section 4.07 hereof shall not be deemed to be an
Asset Sale.

     Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale,
the Company may apply (or cause to be applied) the Net Proceeds from such Asset
Sale, at its option (a) to Repay Senior Debt and, if the Senior Debt repaid is
revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments
with respect to such revolving credit Indebtedness, (b) to acquire all or
substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of,
another Permitted Business, (c) to make a Capital Expenditure or (d) to acquire
or make capitalized repairs to other long-term assets that are used or useful in
a Permitted Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor one
or more of its Subsidiaries shall engage in an Asset Sale in which the purchaser
or transferee is the Parent Entity. Pending the final application of any such
Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit Indebtedness
or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by
this Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale that are not finally
applied or invested as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be
deemed to constitute "Excess Proceeds." Within five Business Days of each date
on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, the
Company shall commence a pro rata Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 3.09
hereof to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is
pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in
this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of
sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other
pari passu Indebtedness that

                                       50

<PAGE>

may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale
Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 hereof, and will be payable in
cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer,
the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggreate principal amount of Notes and
other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the
amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other
pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of
each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be deemed to be reset
at zero.

Section 4.11.   Transactions with Affiliates.

     The Parent Entity and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of
the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase
any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction,
contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the
benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an "Affiliate Transaction"),
unless (a) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to
the Company or relevant Restricted Subsidiary or the Parent Entity than those
that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary or such Parent Entity with an unrelated Person and (b) the
Company delivers to the Trustee (i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $1.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an
Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with
clause (a) above and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a
majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors and (ii) with
respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions
involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, an opinion as to
the fairness to the Holders of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point
of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of
national standing; provided, however, that the following items shall not be
deemed Affiliate Transactions: (i) any employment, termination protection,
deferred compensation, incentive, non-competition, benefit, indemnification or
similar agreement or plan entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries or the Parent Entity in the ordinary course of business with
officers, directors or employees of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or
Parent Entity; (ii) transactions between or among the Parent Entity, the Company
and/or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Guarantor; (iii)
transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because
the Company owns an Equity Interest in, or controls, or is under common control
with, such Person; (iv) payment of reasonable compensation (including
equity-based compensation) and expense reimbursements to members of the Board of
Directors who are not otherwise Affiliates of the Company; (v) sales of Equity
Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Company not
otherwise prohibited by this Indenture; (vi) Restricted Payments or Permitted
Investments that are permitted by Section 4.07 hereof; (vii) the repurchase by
Paperweight Development Corp., or the issuance by Paperweight Development Corp.,
of shares of its Capital Stock, from or to the ESOP, as the case may be,
pursuant to the terms of the ESOP Documentation, not otherwise prohibited by
this Indenture; and (viii) amendments to the ESOP as may, from time to time, be
required by law.

Section 4.12.   Liens.

     The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective
any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness, Attributable Debt or trade payables
(other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets, now owned or
hereafter acquired, unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes
are secured on an

                                       51

<PAGE>

equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such
obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

Section 4.13.   Line of Business.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such
extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
taken as a whole.

         The Company shall not permit the Parent Entity to conduct, transact or
otherwise engage in, or commit to conduct, transact or otherwise engage in, any
business or operations other than those incidental to its direct or indirect
ownership of the Capital Stock of the Company (including matters related to the
ESOP) and those actions required to be taken under the Deferred Payment
Obligation, Guarantees permitted by this Indenture, the Intercompany Acquisition
Loan, the Environmental Indemnity Agreements and the Credit Enhancement.

Section 4.14.   Corporate Existence.

         Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done
all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its
corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each
of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational
documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any
such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses
and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right,
license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries, 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 Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss
thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.15.   Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall make an offer
(a "Change of Control Offer") to each Holder to repurchase all or any part
(equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date
of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 20 days following any
Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute a Change of Control and stating: (1)
that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and
that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; (2) the purchase price and
the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60
days from the date such notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date");
(3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; (4) that,
unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all
Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease
to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (5) that Holders
electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will
be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to
Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at
the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third
Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; (6) that Holders will
be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later
than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of
Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter
setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered
for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to

                                       52

<PAGE>

have the Notes purchased; and (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased
only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be
equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof. The Company
shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and
regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes in
connection with a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.15, the Company
shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not
be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of
such conflict.

         (b)  On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the
extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly
tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying
Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes
or portions thereof properly tendered and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers'
Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof
being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each
Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes,
and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred
by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any
unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered by such Holder, if any; provided,
that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral
multiple thereof. Prior to complying with any of the provisions of this Section
4.15, but in any event within 90 days following a Change of Control, the Company
shall either repay all outstanding Senior Debt or obtain the requisite consents,
if any, under all agreements governing outstanding Senior Debt to permit the
repurchase of Notes required by this Section 4.15. The Company shall publicly
announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable
after the Change of Control Payment Date.

         (c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the
Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the
times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this
Section 4.15 hereof and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable to a
Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly
tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.16. No Senior Subordinated Debt.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.09 hereof, (i) the Company
shall not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for
any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior
Debt of the Company and senior in any respect in right of payment to the Notes,
and (ii) no Guarantor shall incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise
become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of
payment to the Senior Debt of such Guarantor and senior in any respect in right
of payment to such Guarantor's Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as
applicable.

              Arrangements, Security Holders Agreements, Intercompany
              Acquisition Loan or ESOP Documentation.

other change to, any of the terms of the Deferred Payment Obligation other than

              (iii) involves a change to a notice address or cures any
         ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in a manner not in any respect
         adverse to the Holders of the Notes.

endorsement or otherwise) the terms and conditions of the Fox River Indemnity
Arrangements other than to the extent necessary to change a notice address or to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in a manner not in any respect
adverse to the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that terms, other than

Assignment and Assumption Deed and the Credit Enhancement may be amended with
the prior written consent of the Trustee, which consent shall be given only upon
the receipt of:

              (i)   30 days' prior written notice of the proposed amendment,
         modification, waiver or alteration, describing the same in reasonable
         detail and providing any related documentation for the proposed
         implementation thereof;

              (ii)  an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee, to the
         effect that the proposed amendment, modification, waiver or alteration
         will not have an adverse effect on the legal rights of Arjo Wiggins
         Appleton (Bermuda) Limited, which is the policyholder under the Credit
         Enhancement, Paperweight Development Corp. and the Company under the
         Relationship Agreement or the Assignment and Assumption Deed, and does
         not have an adverse effect on the then remoteness of Arjo Wiggins

         Wiggins Appleton (Bermuda) Limited, Paperweight Development Corp. or
         the Company;

              (iv)  an opinion from an investment bank of recognized national
         standing, to the effect that the proposed amendment, modification,
         waiver or alteration is not adverse, from a financial point of view, to
         Arjo Wiggins Appleton (Bermuda) Limited or to the Holders of the Notes
         and would not, in such investment bank's opinion, result in any adverse
         effect on the trading or price of the Notes; and

              (v)   any additional opinions or certificates that the Trustee
         determines may reasonably be required given the circumstances of any
         proposed amendment, modification, waiver or alteration;

in each case, in form and substance acceptable to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be requested to approve and
shall not approve any amendment, modification, waiver or alteration of Section
2(h) of the Relationship Agreement providing for the conditions for Trustee
consent or any of the following terms (the "Economic Terms") of the Relationship

<PAGE>

amendment will not accelerate the timing or amount of Paperweight Development

               Owned Subsidiaries.

to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equity Interests
in any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to any Person (other
than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), unless
(a) such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition is of all the
Equity Interests in such Wholly Owned Subsidiary and (b) the cash Net Proceeds
from such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition are applied in
accordance with Section 4.10 hereof and (ii) shall not permit any Wholly Owned
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to issue any of its Equity Interests (other

Section 4.20.  Payments for Consent.

         The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or
the Parent Entity to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to or for the
benefit of any Holder of any Notes for or as an inducement to any consent,
waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the
Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders
of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth
in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Section 4.21.  Additional Subsidiary Guarantees or Parent Guarantees.

         If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall acquire or create
another Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, other than a
Subsidiary with less than $2.0 million in total assets at the time of its
creation and thereafter as assessed each quarter based on the most recently
available quarterly balance sheet or a group of Subsidiaries with less than $5.0
million in total assets in the aggregate at the time of their creation and
thereafter as assessed each quarter based on the most recently available
quarterly balance sheet, excluding all Subsidiaries that have been properly
designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Indenture for so
long as they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then each newly
acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and shall
execute a Supplemental Indenture and deliver an Opinion of Counsel, in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture, within 10 Business Days of the date
on which it was acquired, created or assessed.

Section 4.22.  Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

         The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a
Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate
fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and the
Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated will be deemed to
be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the
amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section
4.07 hereof or Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That
designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that
time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted
Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a
Default.

Section 4.23.  Excess Cash Flow.

         (a)   If, for any fiscal year of the Company commencing with the fiscal
year ending December 28, 2002, there is Excess Cash Flow, the Company shall
first apply the Excess Cash Flow Amount to repay Senior Debt and, if the Senior
Debt repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently
reduce commitments with respect to such revolving credit Indebtedness and
second, permanently reduce revolving credit commitments relating to Senior Debt
in an amount equal to the remaining Excess Cash Flow Amount, if any, not used to
repay Senior Debt, provided that the Company shall not be required in either
case to reduce such revolving credit commitments to less than $50.0 million. If
more than $5.0 million of the Excess Cash Flow Amount remains after such
prepayment and adjustment for such permanent reduction, the Company shall make
an offer (an "Excess Cash Flow Offer") to Holders of the Notes to repurchase in
cash all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each
Holder's Notes up to the maximum principal amount of Notes, together with
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, that may be repurchased with the
remaining Excess Cash Flow Amount at a purchase price equal to 103% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the "Excess Cash
Flow Payment"). The application of any Excess Cash Flow amounts towards the
prepayment of Senior Debt and any Excess Cash Flow Offer must occur within 20
days of the earlier to occur of (a) the day on which year end financial
statements first become available or (b) 90 days after the end of the fiscal
year. Upon the commencement of an Excess Cash Flow Offer, the Company shall mail
a notice to each Holder stating: (1) that the Excess Cash Flow Offer is being
made pursuant to this Section 4.23 and the length of time the Excess Cash Flow
Offer shall remain open, which shall be a period of 20 days following its
commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is
required by applicable law (the "Excess Cash Flow Offer Period"); (2) the
purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no later than five days
after the termination of the Excess Cash Flow Offer Period (the "Excess Cash
Flow Payment Date"); (3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will
continue to accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the
payment of the Excess Cash Flow Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant
to the Excess Cash Flow Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Excess
Cash Flow Payment Date; (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased
pursuant to an Excess Cash Flow Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in
integral multiples of $1,000 only, (6) that Holders electing to have any Notes
purchased pursuant to an Excess Cash Flow Offer will be required to surrender
the Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the
reverse of the

                                       57

Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a
depositary, if appointed by the Company, or to the Paying Agent at the address
specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day
preceding the Excess Cash Flow Payment Date; (7) that Holders will be entitled
to withdraw their election if the Company, the depositary or the Paying Agent,
as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Excess Cash
Flow Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting
forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for
purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have
the Notes purchased; (8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes
surrendered by Holders exceeds the Excess Cash Flow Payment, the Trustee shall
select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (which such adjustments as
may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of
$1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased); and (9) that Holders
whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or
transferred by book-entry transfer), which unpurchased portion must be equal to
$1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall
comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and
regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant
to an Excess Cash Flow Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.23, the Company
shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not
be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.23 by virtue of
such conflict.

         (b)   On or before the Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, the Company
shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment or a pro rata basis to the
extent necessary all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the
Excess Cash Flow Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the
Excess Cash Flow Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered
and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted
together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of
Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall
promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Excess Cash Flow
Payment Date) mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Excess Cash Flow
Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or
cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in
principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered by such
Holder, if any; provided, that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount
of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Any Note not so accepted shall be
promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. Prior to
complying with any of the provisions of this Section 4.23, the Company shall
obtain the requisite consents, if any, under all agreements governing
outstanding Senior Debt, including revolving credit commitments, to permit the
repurchase of Notes required by this Section 4.23. The Company shall publicly
announce the results of the Excess Cash Flow Offer on or as soon as practicable
after the Excess Cash Flow Payment Date. If any Excess Cash Flow remains after
consummation of an Excess Cash Flow Offer, the Company may use such Excess Cash
Flow for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the
aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Excess Cash Flow Offer
exceeds the Excess Cash Flow Payment, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be
purchased on a pro rata basis.

Section 4.24.  Actions Related to Debt Arbiter Determination.

         If, pursuant to the terms of the Fox River AWA Environmental Indemnity
Agreement, the Designated Debt Arbiter, as defined therein, determines that the
Company will have sufficient internal excess cash to be able to repay the Notes
at their stated maturity, then such internal excess cash shall be deposited for
purposes of such repayment with the Trustee within five days of such
determination but not earlier than 30 days prior to the Stated Maturity of the
Notes, provided, that if the amount initially deposited is not sufficient to
repay the Notes in full at their stated maturity, then the Company shall make
additional deposits promptly and from time to time during the period between the
initial deposit and the

                                       58

<PAGE>

stated maturity as additional internal excess cash becomes available until the
total repayment amount has been deposited.

Section 4.25.  S Corporation Status.

         The Company shall not and shall not permit the Parent Entity to take,
or fail to take, any action that would terminate, or could reasonably be
expected to lead to the termination of, Paperweight Development Corp.'s
qualification as an "S Corporation" or the qualification of any Subsidiary of
Paperweight Development Corp. (other than any such Subsidiary that is an

Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or
is created after the date of this Indenture, if that default (i) is caused by a

Section 6.02.  Acceleration.

     If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause
(g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company, any Restricted
Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be
due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become
due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of
Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with
respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes shall be due and
payable immediately without further action or notice. The Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to
the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its
consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree
and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest
or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been
cured or waived.

                                       62

<PAGE>

     If an Event of Default occurs on or after December 15, 2005 by reason of
any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the
Company or any of its Affiliates with the intention of avoiding payment of the
premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected
to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, then, upon acceleration of
the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and
payable, to the extent permitted by law, anything in this Indenture or in the
Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default occurs prior to
December 15, 2005 by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not
taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the
prohibition on redemption of the Notes prior to such date, then, upon
acceleration of the Notes, an additional premium shall also become and be
immediately due and payable in an amount, for each of the years beginning on
December 15 of the years set forth below, as set forth below (expressed as a
percentage of the principal amount of the Notes on the date of payment that
would otherwise be due but for the provisions of this sentence):

     Year                                                     Percentage
     ----                                                     ----------
     2001....................................................    12.500%
     2002 ..................................................    10.9375%
     2003 ..................................................       9.37%
     2004 ...................................................    7.8125%

Section 6.03.  Other Remedies.

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

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

Section 6.04.  Waiver of Past Defaults.

     Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of
all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences he`reunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest
on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided,
however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences,
including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration).
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose
of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05.  Control by Majority.

     Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising
any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred
on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts
with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial
to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in
personal liability.

                                       63

<PAGE>
Section 6.06.   Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

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

         (d)    the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days
after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of
indemnity; and

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

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

Section 6.07.   Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

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

Section 6.08.   Collection Suit by Trustee.

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

Section 6.09.   Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

         The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company
(or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall
be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to
the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to
it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances

                                       64

<PAGE>

of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee
under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be
denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and
shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities
and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such
proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize
the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10. Priorities.

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

              First:   to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due
          under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation,
          expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the
          Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

              Second:  to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the
          Notes for principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and
          interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
          according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal,
          premium and Liquidated Damages, if any and interest, respectively; and

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

          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

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

          In the event of a type of change of control of either the Parent
Entity or the Company as a result of which the Parent Entity is required to
offer to repurchase the Deferred Payment Obligation, pursuant to the terms
thereof, at a price equal to the price that would have been payable if the
Deferred Payment Obligation had been prepaid on that date, the Trustee or
Holders of 25% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a
single class shall have the right to block any such payments by the Parent
Entity in respect of the Deferred Payment Obligation by delivery of a written
payment blockage notice (the "DPO Payment Blockage Notice"). Any such DPO
Payment Blockage Notice shall last for a period of 179 days from the date of
notice or, if longer, so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing under the terms of this Indenture. No change of control event that
existed or was

                                       65

continuing on the date of delivery of any DPO Payment Blockage Notice shall be,
or be made, the basis for a subsequent DPO Payment Blockage Notice.

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

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

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

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

              (ii)   in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trutee may
        conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
        correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
        opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
        this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and
        opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
        of this Indenture.

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

        of this Section;

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

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

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

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

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

     (g)  Except with respect to Section 4.04(a), the Trustee shall have no duty

knowledge of an Event of Default except (i) any Default or Event of Default
occurring pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) and 6.01(b) (defaults in payments on the
Notes) or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have
received written notification or obtained actual knowledge.

     (h)  Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under
Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of the
foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained
therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officers' Certificates).

     (i)  In the event that the prior written consent of the Trustee is required

either (A) each of the following:

          (i)   30 days' prior written notice of the proposed action, describing
     the same in reasonable detail and providing any related documentation for
     the proposed implementation thereof;

     that the proposed action will not have an adverse effect on the legal
     rights of Arjo Wiggins Appleton (Bermuda) Limited, which is the
     policyholder under the Credit Enhancement, Paperweight Development Corp.
     and the Company under the Relationship Agreement or the Assignment and
     Assumption Deed, and does not have an adverse effect on the then remoteness

     (Bermuda) Limited from AWA and its other Affiliates for bankruptcy,
     substantive consolidation or similar purposes;

          (iii) an Officer's Certificate on behalf of Paperweight Development
     Corp., certifying that it believes that the proposed action is not adverse

     standing, to the effect that the proposed action is not adverse, from a
     financial point of view, to Arjo Wiggins Appleton (Bermuda) Limited or to
     the Holders of the Notes and would not, in such investment bank's opinion,
     result in any adverse effect on the trading or price of the Notes; and

          (v)   any additional opinions or certificates that the Trustee
     determines may reasonably be required given the circumstances of any
     proposed action;

in each case, in form and substance acceptable to the Trustee or (B) consent of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to

Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

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

be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due

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

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

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

        The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner
or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of
the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However,
in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must
eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to
continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and
duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer.

        The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as
to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be

paid to the Company or upon the Company's direction under any provision of this
Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money
received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be
responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or
any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this
Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults.

        If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is

Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold
the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good
faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders
of the Notes.

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

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

     A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes

which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA (S) 313(d). The Company shall
promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

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

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

satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

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

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) hereof occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services (including the

                                       69

<PAGE>

fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses
of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

     The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA (S) 313(b)(2) to the
extent applicable.

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

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

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

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

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

         (c)  a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or

         (d)  the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

         If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or
the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

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

         A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property
held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the
Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section
7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million
as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

requirements of TIA (S) 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA
(S) 310(b).

Section 7.11.     Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

         The Trustee is subject to TIA (S) 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA (S) 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been
removed shall be subject to TIA (S)311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Eight.

Section 8.02.     Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

         Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction

shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to
its Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable (hereinafter, "Legal
Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and each
of the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be
deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the
other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, the Company
shall be deemed to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and
this Indenture, and each of the Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied all
of its obligations under its Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as
applicable (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive
solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully
set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium and
Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest on such Notes when

                                       71

<PAGE>

such payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes
under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties
and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company's and the Guarantors'
obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article Eight. Subject to
compliance with this Article Eight, the Company may exercise its option under
this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section
8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03.     Covenant Defeasance.

         Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its
obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10,
4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 (except 4.17(b)), 4.18, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21,
4.22, 4.23, 4.24, 4.25, 4.26 and 4.27 hereof and clause (iv) of Section 5.01
hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes, and each of the Guarantors shall,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof,
be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07,
4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17(except 4.17(b)), 4.18,
4.19, 4.20, 4.21, 4.22, 4.23, 4.24, 4.25, 4.26 and 4.27 hereof and clause (iv)
of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to its Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary
Guarantee, as applicable, on and after the date the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Notes
shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
"outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such
Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this
purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes,
the Company and each Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant
to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01
hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture, such
Notes and such Parent Guarantees and Subsidiary Guarantees shall be unaffected
thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of
the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) through

Damages, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for
payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and
the Company shall specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to

applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based
thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the
outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as
would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

     (c)       in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company

continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default
resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds
of which will be used to defease the Notes pursuant to this Article Eight
concurrently with such incurrence) or insofar as Sections 6.01(g) or 6.01(h)
hereof is concerned, at any time in the period commencing on the date of deposit
and ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

     (e)       such Legal 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 or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is
bound;

     (f)       the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel (which may be subject to customary exceptions) to the effect that on the

the Company; and

     (h)       the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant
Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 8.05.  Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust;
               Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

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

                                       73

<PAGE>

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

         Anything in this Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request
of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as
provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under
Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be
required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.

Section 8.06.     Repayment to Company.

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

Section 8.07.     Reinstatement.

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

                                   ARTICLE 9.
                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01.     Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

         Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the
Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes,
the Parent Guarantee or the Subsidiary Guarantee without the consent of any
Holder of a Note:

         (a)      to change a notice address or to cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency;

                                       74

<PAGE>

               (b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in
place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2 hereof
(including the related definitions) in a manner that does not materially
adversely affect any Holder;

               (c) to provide for the assumption of the Company's or a
Guarantor's obligations to the Holders of the Notes by a successor to the
Company pursuant to Article 5 hereof;

               (d) to make any change that would provide any additional rights
or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the
legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Note;

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

               (f) to provide for the acceptance of appointment under this
Indenture of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes issued hereunder; or

               (g) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture
and/or a Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, with respect
to the Notes.

               Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of
its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and
the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture
authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further
appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the
Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental
indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise.

Section 9.02.  With Consent of Holders of Notes.

               Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and
the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including Section 3.09,
4.10, 4.15 and 4.23 hereof), the Notes, the Parent Guarantee and the Subsidiary
Guarantee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including,
without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or
exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04
and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default
or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and Liquidated
Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting
from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision
of this Indenture, the Notes, the Parent Guarantee or the Subsidiary Guarantee
may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase
of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered
to be "outstanding" for purposes of this Section 9.02.

               Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of
its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence
satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid,
and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02
hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended
or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly
affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

                                       75

<PAGE>

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

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a
notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of
the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in
any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental
indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a
single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with
any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of
each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not
(with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

     (a)       reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent
to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

     (b)       reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note
or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the
Notes except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and
4.23 hereof;

     (c)       reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest,
including default interest, on any Note;

     (d)       waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal
of or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a
rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the
payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

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

     (f)       make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to
waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments
of principal of or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the
Notes;

     (g)       waive redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a
payment required by Section 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 or 4.23);

     (h)       make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or in the
foregoing amendment and waiver provisions; or

     (i)       release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its
Parent Guarantee or its Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture, except in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 9.03.  Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

                                       76

<PAGE>

Section 9.04.     Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Section 9.05.     Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

         The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment,
supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in
exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment,
supplement or waiver.

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

Section 9.06.     Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

         The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized
pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company
may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors
approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully
protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section
13.04 hereof, an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture.

                                  ARTICLE 10.
                                 SUBORDINATION

Section 10.01.    Agreement to Subordinate.

         The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that
the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to
the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 10, to the prior payment
in full of all Senior Debt of the Company and of the Guarantors (whether
outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or
guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of
Senior Debt.

Section 10.02.    Certain Definitions.

         "Designated Senior Debt" means (i) any Indebtedness outstanding under
the Credit Agreement and (ii) after payment in full of all Obligations under the
Credit Agreement, any other Senior Debt permitted hereunder to be incurred, the
principal amount of which is $25.0 million or more, and that has been designated
by the Company as "Designated Senior Debt."

         "Permitted Junior Securities" means Equity Interests in the Company or
any Guarantor or debt securities that are subordinated to all Senior Debt (and
any debt securities issued in exchange for Senior

                                       77

<PAGE>

Debt) to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the
Notes and the Parent Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantee are subordinated to
Senior Debt pursuant to the Indenture.

         "Representative" means the indenture trustee or other trustee, agent or
representative for any Senior Debt.

         "Senior Debt" means (i) all Indebtedness of the Company or any
Guarantor outstanding under the Credit Agreement and all Hedging Obligations
with respect thereto, (ii) any other Indebtedness of the Company or any
Guarantor that is permitted to be incurred by the Company or such Guarantor
pursuant to this Indenture unless the instrument under which such Indebtedness
is incurred expressly provides that it is on a parity with or subordinated in
right of payment to the Notes or any Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee,
and (iii) all Obligations with respect to any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Senior Debt shall not include (w) any
liability for federal, state, local or other taxes owed or owing by the Company,
(x) any intercompany Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to
the Company or any of its Affiliates, (y) any trade payables and (z) any
Indebtedness that is incurred in violation of this Indenture.

Section 10.03.    Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

         Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company or any Guarantor in a
liquidation or dissolution of the Company or such Guarantor, in a bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the
Company or such Guarantor or their respective property, in an assignment for the
benefit of creditors of the Company or such Guarantor or any marshaling of the
Company's or such Guarantor's assets and liabilities:

                  (i) holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive
         payment in full of all Obligations due in respect of such Senior Debt
         by the Company or such Guarantor (including interest after the
         commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the
         applicable Senior Debt) before Holders of the Notes shall be entitled
         to receive any payment with respect to the Notes (except that Holders
         may receive and retain (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments
         and other distributions made from any defeasance trust created pursuant
         to Section 8.01 hereof); and

                  (ii) until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt (as
         provided in clause (i) above) are paid in full, any distribution to
         which Holders would be entitled but for this Article 10 shall be made
         to holders of Senior Debt (except that Holders of Notes may receive (A)
         Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions
         made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.01
         hereof), as their interests may appear.

A distribution may consist of cash, securities or other property, by set-off or
otherwise.

Section 10.04.    Default on Designated Senior Debt.

         (a)      The Company may not make any payment or distribution to the
Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations with respect to the Notes and
may not acquire from the Trustee or any Holder any Notes for cash or property
(other than (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other
distributions made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.01
hereof) and may not make any deposits with the Trustee pursuant to Article 8 or
Section 4.24 until all principal and other Obligations with respect to the
Senior Debt have been paid in full if:

                                       78

<PAGE>

                  (i) a default in the payment of any principal or other
         Obligations with respect to Designated Senior Debt occurs and is
         continuing beyond any applicable grace period in the agreement,
         indenture or other document governing such Designated Senior Debt; or

                  (ii) a default, other than a payment default, on Designated
         Senior Debt occurs and is continuing that then permits holders of the
         Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee
         receives a notice of the default (a "Payment Blockage Notice") from a
         Person who may give it pursuant to Section 10.12 hereof. If the Trustee
         receives any such Payment Blockage Notice, no subsequent Payment
         Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section unless
         and until (A) 360 days shall have elapsed since the effectiveness of
         the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice and (B) all scheduled
         payments of principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and
         interest on the Notes that have come due have been paid in full in
         cash. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date
         of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or
         be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such
         default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than
         90 days.

         (b)      The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions
in respect of the Notes and may acquire them upon the earlier of:

                  (i)    in the case of a payment default, the date upon which
         the default is cured or waived, or

                  (ii)   in the case of a default referred to in clause (ii) of
         Section 10.04(a) hereof, upon the earliest of (A) the date on which
         such default is cured or waived, (B) 179 days after the date on which
         the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, if the maturity of
         such Designated Senior Debt has not been accelerated or (C) the date on
         which the Trustee receives notice from the holder of such Designated
         Senior Debt rescinding such Payment Blockage Notice,

if this Article 10 otherwise permits the payment, distribution or acquisition at
the time of such payment, distribution or acquisition.

Section 10.05.    Acceleration of Notes.

         If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default,
the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration.

Section 10.06.    When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

         In the event that the Trustee or any Holder receives any payment of any
Obligations with respect to the Notes (other than (A) Permitted Junior
Securities and (B) payments and other distributions made from any defeasance
trust created pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof) at a time when the Trustee or
such Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that such payment is prohibited
by Section 10.04 hereof, such payment shall be held by the Trustee or such
Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and
delivered, upon written request, to, the holders of Senior Debt as their
interests may appear or their Representative under the indenture or other
agreement (if any) pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued, as their
respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all
Obligations with respect to Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary
to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior
Debt.

                                       79

<PAGE>

         With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to
perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set
forth in this Article 10, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect
to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the
Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or the Company
or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article 10, except if such payment is made as a
result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.

Section 10.07.  Notice by Company.

         The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of
any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations
with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 10, but failure to give such
notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Debt as
provided in this Article 10.

Section 10.08.  Subrogation.

         After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in
full, Holders of Notes shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other
Indebtedness pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt
to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that
distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the
payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 10 to holders of
Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, as
between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on the Notes.

Section 10.09.  Relative Rights.

         This Article 10 defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and
holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

                (i)   impair, as between the Company and Holders of Notes, the
         obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
         principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms;

                (ii)  affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and
         creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders
         of Senior Debt; or

                (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from
         exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default,
         subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive
         distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes.

         If the Company fails because of this Article 10 to pay principal of or
interest on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a Default or Event of
Default.

Section 10.10.  Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.

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

                                       80

Section 10.11.  Distribution or Notice to Representative.

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

         Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to
in this Article 10, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to
rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or
upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or
agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders
of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in
such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the
Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 10.

Section 10.12.  Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 10 or any other
provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of
the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or
distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue
to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee shall have received at its
Corporate Trust Office at least five Business Days prior to the date of such
payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations
with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 10. Only the Company or a
Representative may give the notice. Nothing in this Article 10 shall impair the
claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof.

         The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior
Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do
the same with like rights.

Section 10.13.  Authorization to Effect Subordination.

         Each Holder of Notes, by the Holder's acceptance thereof, authorizes
and directs the Trustee on such Holder's behalf to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this
Article 10, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holder's attorney-in-fact
for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of
claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in
Section 6.09 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file
such claim, the Representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate
claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 10.14.  Amendments.

         The provisions of this Article 10 shall not be amended or modified
without the written consent of the holders of all Senior Debt.

                                  ARTICLE 11.
                   PARENT GUARANTEES AND SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Section 11.01.  Guarantees.

         Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and
severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns,
irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or
the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal
of and interest on the Notes

                                       81

<PAGE>

will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest
on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the
Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or
performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case
of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount
so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the
Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.
Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of
collection.

         The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions
hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action
to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court
in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever
and covenant that this Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable,
shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations
contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

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

         Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of
subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed
hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof
for the purposes of this Parent Guarantee and this Subsidiary Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the
event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in
Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this
Parent Guarantee and this Subsidiary Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the
right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise
of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.

Section 11.02.  Subordination of Parent Guarantees and Subsidiary Guarantees.

         The Obligations of each Guarantor under its Parent Guarantee or
Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, pursuant to this Article 11 shall be junior
and subordinated to the Senior Debt of such Guarantor on the same basis as the
Notes are junior and subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company. For the
purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and the Holders shall have the
right to receive and/or retain payments by any of the Guarantors only at such
times as they may receive and/or retain payments in respect of the Notes
pursuant to this Indenture, including Article 10 hereof.

                                       82

Section 11.03.  Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

         Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Parent Guarantee
or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, of such Guarantor not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Parent Guarantee or
Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the
obligations of such Guarantor will, after giving effect to such maximum amount
and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are
relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from,
rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this
Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Parent
Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, not constituting a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.04.  Execution and Delivery of Parent Guarantee and Subsidiary
                Guarantee.

         To evidence its Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as
applicable, set forth in Section 11.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a
notation of such Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable,
substantially in the form included in Exhibit E shall be endorsed by an Officer
of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its
Officers.

         Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary
Guarantee, as applicable, set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of
such Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable.

         If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Parent
Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, no longer holds that office at
the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Parent Guarantee or
Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, is endorsed, the Parent Guarantee or
Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, shall be valid nevertheless.

         The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication
thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Parent Guarantee and
Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

         In the event that the Company creates or acquires any new Domestic
Subsidiaries or Parent Entities subsequent to the date of this Indenture, if
required by Section 4.21 hereof, the Company shall cause such Domestic
Subsidiaries or Parent Entities to execute supplemental indentures to this
Indenture and Parent Guarantees or Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable, in
accordance with Section 4.21 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent
applicable.

Section 11.05.  Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

         Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.06, no Guarantor may sell or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate
with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving
Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

         (a)    subject to Section 11.06 hereof, the Person formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the
Company) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant
to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably

                                       83

<PAGE>

satisfactory to the Trustee, under this Indenture, its Parent Guarantee or
Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, and the Registration Rights Agreement on
the terms set forth herein or therein; and

         (b)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default
or Event of Default exists; and

         (c)    if the Guarantor is a party to the Environmental Indemnity
Agreements, all rights afforded to such Guarantor are effectively assigned in
full to the Person formed by or surviving any consolidation or merger (if other
than the Company or another Guarantor) or the Person to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made, pursuant to
agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

         In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon
the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and
delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Parent
Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, endorsed upon the Notes and
the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this
Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed
to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been
named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be
signed any or all of the Parent Guarantees or Subsidiary Guarantees, as
applicable, to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which
theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the
Trustee. All Parent Guarantees and all Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in
all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the
Parent Guarantee and Subsidiary Guarantee theretofore and thereafter issued in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Parent
Guarantees and Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the
execution hereof.

         Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding
clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the
Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the
property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
Company or another Guarantor.

Section 11.06.  Releases Following Sale of Assets.

         In the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation, sale or
otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any
Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving
effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Company, then such Guarantor (in
the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or
otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation
acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved
of any obligations under its Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as
applicable; provided that (i) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition
are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture,
including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof and (ii) if the Guarantor is a
party to the Environmental Indemnity Agreements, all rights afforded to such
Guarantor are effectively assigned in full to the Person formed by or surviving
any consolidation or merger (if other than the Company or another Guarantor) or
the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition has been made, pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was
made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without
limitation Section 4.10 hereof, and the Trustee's satisfaction with the
agreements described in clause (ii) above, if applicable, the Trustee shall

                                       84

<PAGE>

execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of
such Guarantor from its obligations under its Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary
Guarantee, as applicable.

         Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Parent
Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, shall remain liable for the
full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other
obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article
11.

                                  ARTICLE 12.
                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 12.01.  Satisfaction and Discharge.

         This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further
effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

(1)      either:

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

         (b)    all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for
                cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the
                mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become
                due and payable within one year and the Company or any
                Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited
                with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the
                benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable
                Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such
                amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any
                reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire
                indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for
                cancellation for principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if
                any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or
                redemption;

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

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

(4)      the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under
         this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the
         Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and
discharge have been satisfied.

         Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if
money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of
clause (1) of this Section, the provisions of Section 12.02 and Section 8.06
shall survive.

Section 12.02.  Application of Trust Money.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in
accordance with the provisions of the Notes 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 Persons entitled thereto,
of the principal (and premium and Liquidated Damages, 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.

         If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company's and any Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture and the Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 12.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal
of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on any Notes because of
the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or
Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

[Insert the Global Note Legend if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the
Indenture]

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

         1.  Interest. Appleton Papers Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 12
1/2% per annum from December 14, 2001 until maturity and shall pay the
Liquidated Damages payable pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration Rights
Agreement referred to below. The Company will pay interest and Liquidated
Damages semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, or if
any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an
"Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent
date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the
date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment
of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to
on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall
accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that
the first Interest Payment Date shall be June 15, 2002. The Company shall pay
interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on
demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it
shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Liquidated Damages
(without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at
the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

         2.  Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages to the Persons who are
registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1
next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after
such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided
in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes
will be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and
interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose
within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the
Company, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages may be made by check mailed
to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and
provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be
required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Liquidated
Damages on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have
provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such
payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America which
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

         3.  Paying agent and Registrar.  Initially, U.S. Bank National
Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice
to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such
capacity.

         4.  Indenture.  The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated
as of December 14, 2001 ("Indenture") by and among the Company, the guarantors
party thereto and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in
the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the

                                      A1-2

<PAGE>

Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code (S)(S) 77aaa-77bbbb). The
Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this
Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of
the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are obligations of the
Company limited to $250 million in aggregate principal amount.

         5.   Optional Redemption.

         (a)  Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 5, the
Company shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to December 15,
2005. Thereafter, the Company shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in
whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the
redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning
on December 15 of the years indicated below:

         Year                                                     Percentage
         ----                                                     ----------
         2005...................................................   106.250%
         2006...................................................   103.125%
         2007 and thereafter....................................   100.000%

         (b)  Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this
Paragraph 5, at any time prior to December 15, 2004, the Company may redeem up
to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued with the
net cash proceeds of an initial public offering of its common stock or the net
cash proceeds from the issuance of Equity Interests, other than Disqualified
Stock, to third parties other than the Parent Entity at a redemption price equal
to 112.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any; provided that at least 65% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued remain outstanding
immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and that such redemption
occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing of such initial public
offering, the issuance of such Equity Interests or other equity cash investment.

         6.   Mandatory Redemption.

         Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the Company shall not be
required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with
respect to the Notes.

         7.   Repurchase at the Option of Holder.

         (a)  If there is a Change of Control, the Company shall be required to
make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to repurchase all or any part (equal
to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at a purchase
price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase
(the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 20 days following any Change of
Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the
procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

         (b)  If the Company, the Parent Entity or a Restricted Subsidiary
consummates any Asset Sales, within five days of each date on which the
aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5 million, the Company shall
commence a pro rata offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other
Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to
those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase and or
redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an "Asset Sale Offer")

                                      A1-3

<PAGE>

pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal
amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out
of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of
the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages thereon, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. If any Excess
Proceeds remain after the consummation of the Asset Sale Offer, the Company (or
such Subsidiary) may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and
other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the
amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and other pari
passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that
are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from
the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes
purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase"
on the reverse of the Notes.

         (c)  If, for any fiscal year of the Company commencing with the fiscal
year ending December 28, 2002, there is any Excess Cash Flow, the Company shall
first apply the Excess Cash Flow Amount to repay Senior Debt and, if the Senior
Debt repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently
reduce commitments with respect to such revolving credit Indebtedness and
second, permanently reduce revolving credit commitments relating to Senior Debt
in an amount equal to the remaining Excess Cash Flow Amount, if any, not used to
repay Senior Debt, provided that the Company shall not be required in either
case to reduce such revolving credit commitments to less than $50.0 million. If
more than $5.0 million of the Excess Cash Flow Amount remains after such
prepayment and adjustment for such permanent reduction, the Company shall be
required to make an offer (an "Excess Cash Flow Offer") to repurchase all or any
part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at
a purchase price equal to 103% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date
of purchase. Upon the commencement of an Excess Cash Flow Offer, the Company
shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the
Excess Cash Flow Offer as required by the Indenture.

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

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

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

         11.  Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.  Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantee, the Parent Guarantee or the Notes may
be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single
class, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the
Indenture, the Subsidiary

                                      A1-4

<PAGE>

Guarantee, the Parent Guarantee or the Notes may be waived with the consent of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the
Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantee, the Parent Guarantee or the Notes may be
amended or supplemented to change a notice address, to cure any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or
in place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2 of the
Indenture (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not
materially adversely affect any Holder of the Notes, to provide for the
assumption of the Company's or any Guarantor's obligations to Holders of the
Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would
provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that
does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such
Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to
provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Notes, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a
supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Subsidiary Guarantee or a
Parent Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

         12.  Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) default for
30 days in the payment when due of interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on
the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any,
on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption
(including in connection with an offer to purchase) or otherwise, (iii) failure
by the Company to comply with Section 4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.15, 4.17, 4.23, 4.24
or 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company for 60 days after notice
to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with certain
other agreements in the Indenture or the Notes; (v) default under certain other
agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company which default is caused by a
failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such
Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such
Indebtedness or results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its
express maturity and the amount of any such Indebtedness which is defaulted or
accelerated aggregates $10.0 million or more; (vi) failure by the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay certain final judgments exceeding $10.0
million in the aggregate for the payment of money that are not paid, discharged,
or stayed or the execution of which has not been otherwise postponed or
precluded in accordance with applicable procedures, for a period of 60 days;
(vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Parent
Entity, the Company or one or more of any of their Subsidiaries with,
individually or in the aggregate, total assets or liabilities of greater than or
equal to $10.0 million; (viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any
Subsidiary Guarantee or Parent Guarantee shall be held in any judicial
proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in
full force and effect or any Guarantor or any Person acting on its behalf shall
deny or disaffirm its obligations under such Guarantor's Subsidiary Guarantee or
Parent Guarantee, as applicable; and (ix) the Environmental Indemnity Agreements
or the Credit Enhancement is terminated, held in any judicial proceeding to be
unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason (except in accordance
with the terms thereof) to be in full force and effect or any party thereto, or
any Person acting on behalf of any party thereto, shall deny or disaffirm in
writing its obligations under either the Environmental Indemnity Agreements or
the Credit Enhancement. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become
due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee
may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event
of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of
principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the

                                      A1-5

<PAGE>

Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and
its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. The
Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding
compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware
of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement
specifying such Default or Event of Default.

         13.  Trustee Dealings with Company.  The Trustee, in its individual or
any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform
services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

         14.  No Recourse Against Others. A past, present or future director,
officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company or any of the
Guarantors, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or such Guarantor under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantee or Parent
Guarantee, as applicable or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect
of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release
are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

         15.  Authentication.  This Note shall not be valid until authenticated

by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

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

         17.  Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders of
Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted
Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the A/B Exchange
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 14, 2001, between the Company
and the parties named on the signature pages thereof (the "Registration Rights
Agreement").

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

         The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without
charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement.

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

     1. Interest. Appleton Papers Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 12 1/2% per
annum from December 14, 2001 until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages
payable pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to
below. The Company will pay interest and Liquidated Damages semi-annually on
June 15 and December 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day,
on the next succeeding Business Day (each an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest
on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been
paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that
if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is
authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next
succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest
Payment Date shall be June 15, 2002. The Company shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1%
per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest and Liquidated Damages (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the
extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

     Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Note is exchanged for one or more
Regulation S Permanent Global Notes, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to
receive payments of interest hereon; until so exchanged in full, this Regulation
S Temporary Global Note shall in all other respects be entitled to the same
benefits as other Senior Subordinated Notes under the Indenture.

                                      A2-2

<PAGE>

     2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except
defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages to the Persons who are registered
Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1 next
preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such
record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in
Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will
be payable as to principal, premium, interest and Liquidated Damages at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without
the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of
interest and Liquidated Damages may be made by check mailed to the Holders at
their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment
by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to
principal of and interest, premium and Liquidated Damages on, all Global Notes
and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer
instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such
coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

     3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association,
the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The
Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.
The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

     4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
December 14, 2001 ("Indenture") by and among the Company, the guarantors party
thereto and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code (S)(S) 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes
are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and
such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note
conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the
Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are obligations of the
Company limited to $250 million in aggregate principal amount.

     5. Optional Redemption.

     (a) Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 5, the
Company shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to December 15,
2005. Thereafter, the Company shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in
whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the
redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning
on December 15 of the years indicated below:

      Year                                                    Percentage
      ----                                                    ----------
      2005...................................................  106.250%
      2006 ..................................................  103.125%
      2007 and thereafter ...................................  100.000%

     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5,
at any time prior to December 15, 2004, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued with the net cash
proceeds of an initial public offering of its common stock or the net cash
proceeds from the issuance of Equity Interests, other than Disqualified Stock,
to third parties other than the Parent Entity at a redemption price equal to
112.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any; provided that at least 65% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued remain outstanding
immediately after the

                                      A2-3

<PAGE>

occurrence of such redemption and that such redemption occurs within 60 days of
the date of the closing of such initial public offering, the issuance of such
Equity Interests or other equity cash investment.

     6. Mandatory Redemption.

     Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the Company shall not be required
to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to
the Notes.

     7. Repurchase at Option of Holder.

     (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company shall be required to make
an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at a purchase
price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase
(the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 20 days following any Change of
Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the
procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

     (b) If the Company, the Parent Entity or a Restricted Subsidiary
consummates any Asset Sales, within five days of each date on which the
aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5 million, the Company shall
commence a pro rata offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other
Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to
those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase and or
redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an "Asset Sale Offer") pursuant to
Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes
and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess
Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon,
if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Indenture. If any Excess Proceeds remain after the
consummation of the Asset Sale Offer, the Company (or such Subsidiary) may use
those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture.
If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness
tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds , the
Trustee shall select the Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased
on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to
purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related
purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form
entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes.

     (c) If, for any fiscal year of the Company commencing with the fiscal year
ending December 28, 2002, there is any Excess Cash Flow, the Company shall first
apply the Excess Cash Flow Amount to repay Senior Debt and, if the Senior Debt
repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce
commitments with respect to such revolving credit Indebtedness and second,
permanently reduce revolving credit commitments relating to Senior Debt in an
amount equal to the remaining Excess Cash Flow Amount, if any, not used to repay
Senior Debt, provided that the Company shall not be required in either case to
reduce such revolving credit commitments to less than $50.0 million. If more
than $5.0 million of the Excess Cash Flow Amount remains after such prepayment
and adjustment for such permanent reduction, the Company shall be required to
make an offer (an "Excess Cash Flow Offer") to repurchase all or any part (equal
to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at a purchase
price equal to 103% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase.
Upon the commencement of an Excess Cash Flow Offer, the Company shall mail a
notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Excess Cash
Flow Offer as required by the Indenture.

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

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

for one or more Global Notes only (i) on or after the termination of the 40-day
restricted period (as defined in Regulation S) and (ii) upon presentation of
certificates (accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel, if applicable) required by
Article 2 of the Indenture. Upon exchange of this Regulation S Temporary Global
Note for one or more Global Notes, the Trustee shall cancel this Regulation S
Temporary Global Note.

maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to
provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor

Parent Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

     12. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) default for 30
days in the payment when due of interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the
Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on

<PAGE>

agreements in the Indenture or the Notes; (v) default under certain other
agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company which default is caused by a
failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such
Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such
Indebtedness or results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its
express maturity and the amount of any such Indebtedness which is defaulted or
accelerated aggregates $10.0 million or more; (vi) failure by the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay certain final judgments exceeding $10.0
million in the aggregate for the payment of money that are not paid, discharged,
or stayed or the execution of which has not been otherwise postponed or
precluded in accordance with applicable procedures, for a period of 60 days;
(vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Parent
Entity, the Company or one or more of any of their Subsidiaries with,
individually or in the aggregate, total assets or liabilities of greater than or
equal to $10.0 million; (viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any
Subsidiary Guarantee or Parent Guarantee shall be held in any judicial
proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in
full force and effect or any Guarantor or any Person acting on its behalf shall
deny or disaffirm its obligations under such Guarantor's Subsidiary Guarantee or
Parent Guarantee, as applicable; and (ix) the Environmental Indemnity Agreements
or the Credit Enhancement is terminated, held in any judicial proceeding to be
unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason (except in accordance
with the terms thereof) to be in full force and effect or any party thereto, or
any Person acting on behalf of any party thereto, shall deny or disaffirm in
writing its obligations under either the Environmental Indemnity Agreements or
the Credit Enhancement. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become
due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee
may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event
of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of
principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of
the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences
under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required
to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the
Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or
Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default
or Event of Default.

     13. Trustee Dealings With Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services
for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or
its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

     14. No Recourse Against Others. A past, present or future director,
officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company or any of the
Guarantors, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or such Guarantor under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantee or the
Parent Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

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

     16. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a
Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (=

Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused

in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made
as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

              hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or
              performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof;
              and

                   (ii)  in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal

              (b)  The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
         irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes
         or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
         waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any
         provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
         Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which

         demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
         insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
         proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands
         whatsoever.

              (d)  This [Parent/Subsidiary] Guarantee shall not be discharged
         except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the
         Notes and the Indenture, and the Guaranteeing [Parent/Subsidiary]
         accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture.

              (e)  If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or
         otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors, or any Custodian,
         Trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to
         either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the
         Trustee or such Holder, this [Parent/Subsidiary] Guarantee, to the
         extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and
         effect.

              (f)  The Guaranteeing [Parent/Subsidiary] shall not be entitled to
         any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
         obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations
         guaranteed hereby.

              (g)  As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders
         and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations
         guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the
         Indenture for the purposes of this [Parent/Subsidiary] Guarantee,

         such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and
         (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations
         as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or
         not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
         Guarantors for the purpose of this [Parent/Subsidiary] Guarantee.

              (h)  The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from
         any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not
         impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.

              (i)  Pursuant to Section 11.03 of the Indenture, after giving
         effect to any maximum amount and any other contingent and fixed
         liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or
         fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections
         from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on
         behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such
         other Guarantor under Article 11 of the Indenture, this new
         [Parent/Subsidiary] Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount
         permissible such that the

<PAGE>
         obligations of such Guarantor under this [Parent/Subsidiary]
         Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

         3.       Execution and Delivery.  Each Guaranteeing [Parent/Subsidiary]
agrees that the Parent Guarantee and Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation
of such Guarantees.

         4.       Guaranteeing [Parent/Subsidiary] May Consolidate, Etc. on
                  Certain Terms.

                  (a)   The Guaranteeing [Parent/Subsidiary] may not consolidate
         with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the
         surviving Person) another corporation, Person or entity whether or not
         affiliated with such Guarantor unless:

                        (i)   subject to Sections 11.05 and 11.06 of the
                  Indenture, the Person formed by or surviving any such
                  consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the
                  Company) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such
                  Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and
                  substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the
                  Indenture and its [Parent/Subsidiary] Guarantee on the terms
                  set forth herein or therein;

                        (ii)  immediately after giving effect to such
                  transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

                        (iii) if the Guarantor is a party to the
                  Environmental Indemnity Agreements, all rights afforded to
                  such Guarantor are effectively assigned in full to the Person
                  formed by or surviving any consolidation or merger (if other
                  than the Company or another Guarantor) or the Person to which
                  such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
                  disposition has been made, pursuant to agreements reasonably
                  satisfactory to the Trustee.

                  (b)   In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or
         conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor person, by
         supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and
         satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Parent Guarantee or
         Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, endorsed upon the Notes and the
         due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of
         the Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor person
         shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same
         effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor
         person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Parent
         Guarantees or Subsidiary Guarantees, as applicable, to be endorsed upon
         all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have
         been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All Parent
         Guarantees and all Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all
         respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as
         the Parent Guarantee and Subsidiary Guarantee theretofore and
         thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as
         though all of such Parent Guarantees and Subsidiary Guarantees had been
         issued at the date of the execution hereof.

                  (c)   Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 and Section
         11.06 of Article 11 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a)
         and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the
         Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or
         into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or
         conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or
         substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

         5.       Releases.

<PAGE>

                  (a) In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the
         assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise,
         or a sale or other disposition of all to the Capital Stock of any
         Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after
         giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Company, then
         such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of
         merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such
         Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a
         sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
         such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under
         its Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable; provided
         that (i) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied
         in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture,
         including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture and (ii) if
         the Guarantor is a party to the Environmental Indemnity Agreements, all
         rights afforded to such Guarantor are effectively assigned in full to
         the Person formed by or surviving any consolidation or merger (if other
         than the Company or another Guarantor) or the Person to which such
         sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been
         made, pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.
         Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate
         and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other
         disposition was made in accordance with the provisions of the
         Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture,
         and the Trustee's satisfaction with the agreements described in clause
         (ii) above, if applicable, the Trustee shall execute any documents
         reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor
         from its obligations under its Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary
         Guarantee, as applicable.

                  (b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its
         Parent Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, shall remain
         liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes
         and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as
         provided in Article 11 of the Indenture.

         6.  No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director,
officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Guaranteeing
[Parent/Subsidiary], as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of
the Company or any Guaranteeing Parent or Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the
Notes, any Parent Guarantees, any Subsidiary Guarantee, the Indenture or this
Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason
of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a
Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of
the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

         7.  NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

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

         9.  Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience

         10. The Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner
whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental
Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which
recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing [Parent/Subsidiary] and the

SECTION 2.      HOLDERS

         A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities
(each, a "Holder") whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities.
          ------

SECTION 3.      REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER

         (a)  Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable
federal law (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below have been
complied with), the Company and the Guarantors shall (i) cause the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission as soon as
practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than 90 days after the
Closing Date (such 90th day being the "Filing Deadline"), (ii) use their
                                       ---------------
respective reasonable best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration
Statement to become effective at the earliest possible time, but in no event
later than 180 days after the Closing Date (such 180th day being the
"Effectiveness Deadline"), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all
 ----------------------
pre-effective amendments to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may be
necessary in order to cause it to become effective, (B) file, if applicable, a
post-effective amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant
to Rule 430A under the Act and (C) cause all necessary filings, if any, in
connection with the registration and qualification of the Series B

                                       3

<PAGE>

Notes to be made under the Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary
to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of
such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, commence and Consummate the Exchange
Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting (i)
registration of the Series B Notes to be offered in exchange for the Series A
Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) resales of Series B Notes
by Broker-Dealers that tendered into the Exchange Offer Series A Notes that such
Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of market making
activities or other trading activities (other than Series A Notes acquired
directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) as contemplated by Section
3(c) below.

         (b)     The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective
reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be
effective continuously, and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of
not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state
securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no
event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days. The Company and the
Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal
and state securities laws. No securities other than the Series B Notes shall be
included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Company and the
Guarantors shall use their respective best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer
to be Consummated on the earliest practicable date after the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement has become effective, but in no event later than 30 days
thereafter (such 30th day being the "Consummation Deadline").
                                     ---------------------

         (c)    The Company and the Guarantors shall indicate in a "Plan of
Distribution" section in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and indicate therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds
Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired for the account of such
Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities (other than Series A Notes acquired directly from the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company), may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities
pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such "Plan of Distribution" section shall also
contain all other information with respect to such sales by such Broker-Dealers
that the Commission may require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto,
but such "Plan of Distribution" shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or
disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such
Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a
change in policy, rules or regulations after the date of this Agreement. See the
Shearman & Sterling no-action letter (available July 2, 1993).

         Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within
the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Series B
Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Company and
Guarantors shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus
delivery requirement. To the extent necessary to ensure that the prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of
Series B Notes by Broker-Dealers, the Company and the Guarantors agree to use
their respective reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required
by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(a) and (c) hereof and in
conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies,
rules and

                                       4

<PAGE>

regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of
one year from the Consummation Deadline or such shorter period as will terminate
when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement
have been sold pursuant thereto. The Company and the Guarantors shall provide
sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to such
Broker-Dealers, promptly upon reasonable request, and in no event later than one
Business Day after such request, at any time during such period.

SECTION 4.        SHELF REGISTRATION

         (a)    Shelf Registration. If (i) the Exchange Offer is not permitted
                ------------------
by applicable law or Commission Policy (after the Company and the Guarantors
have complied with the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below) or (ii) if
any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall notify the Company within 20
Business Days following the Consummation Deadline that (A) such Holder was
prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer
or (B) such Holder may not resell the Series B Notes acquired by it in the
Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or
available for such resales by such Holder or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer
and holds Series A Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its
Affiliates, then the Company and the Guarantors shall:

     (x) cause to be filed, on or prior to 30 days after the earlier of (i) the
date on which the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement cannot be filed as a result of clause (a)(i) above and (ii) the date
on which the Company receives the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) above (such
earlier date, the "Shelf Filing Deadline"), a shelf registration statement
                   ---------------------
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement (the "Shelf Registration Statement")), relating to
                                   ----------------------------
all Transfer Restricted Securities, and

     (y) shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf
Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to 90 days after the
Shelf Filing Deadline for the Shelf Registration Statement (such 90th day the
"Shelf Effectiveness Deadline").
 ----------------------------

         If, after the Company has filed an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above, the Company is
required to file and make effective a Shelf Registration Statement solely
because the Exchange Offer is not permitted as a result of the circumstances
described in clause (a)(i) above, then the filing of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of clause (x)
above; provided that, in such event, the Company shall remain obligated to meet
the Shelf Effectiveness Deadline set forth in clause (y).

         To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement
is available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof
entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other securities required
to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, the Company and
the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep any
Shelf Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously
effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the
provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the
requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the

                                       5

<PAGE>

policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to
time, for a period of at least two years (as extended pursuant to Section
6(c)(i)) following the Closing Date, or such shorter period as will terminate
when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration
Statement have been sold pursuant thereto.

         (b)    Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with
                --------------------------------------------------------------
the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities
--------------------------------
may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to
the Company in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a request therefor, the
information specified in Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, of
the Act, and any other information as may be otherwise required by law, for use
in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary
Prospectus included therein. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall
be entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless and until
such Holder shall have provided all such information. Each selling Holder agrees
to promptly furnish additional information required to be disclosed in order to
make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not
materially misleading.

SECTION 5.        LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

         If (i) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not
filed with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Deadline or Shelf Filing
Deadline, as applicable, (ii) any such Registration Statement has not been
declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline
or Shelf Effectiveness Deadline, as applicable, (iii) the Exchange Offer has not
been Consummated on or prior to the Consummation Deadline or (iv) any
Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared
effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for
its intended purpose without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective
amendment to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is
itself declared effective immediately (each such event referred to in clauses
(i) through (iv), a "Registration Default"), then the Company and the Guarantors
                     --------------------
hereby jointly and severally agree to pay to each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities affected thereby liquidated damages in an amount equal to $.05 per
week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by
such Holder for each week or portion thereof that the Registration Default
continues for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of
such Registration Default. The amount of the liquidated damages shall increase
by an additional $.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all
Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of liquidated
damages of $.50 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities; provided that the Company and the Guarantors shall in no event be
required to pay liquidated damages for more than one Registration Default at any
given time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (1) upon
filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the
Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (i) above, (2) upon the
effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if
applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (ii) above, (3)
upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of (iii) above, or (4) upon
the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or an
additional Registration Statement that causes the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement) to again be

                                       6

<PAGE>

declared effective or made usable in the case of (iv) above, the liquidated
damages payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a result
of such clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, shall cease.

         All accrued liquidated damages shall be paid to the Holders entitled
thereto, in the manner provided for the payment of interest in the Indenture, on
each Interest Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture and the
Notes. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which liquidated damages
are due cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, all obligations of the
Company and the Guarantors to pay liquidated damages with respect to securities
shall survive until such time as such obligations with respect to such
securities shall have been satisfied in full.

SECTION 6.        REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

         (a)    Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the
                -------------------------------------
Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall (x) comply with all
applicable provisions of Section 6(c) below, (y) use their respective best
efforts to effect such exchange and to permit the resale of Series B Notes by
Broker-Dealers that tendered in the Exchange Offer Series A Notes that such
Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of its market making
activities or other trading activities (other than Series A Notes acquired
directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) being sold in accordance
with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and (z) comply with
all of the following provisions:

                (i)     If, following the date hereof there has been announced a
         change in Commission policy with respect to exchange offers such as the
         Exchange Offer, that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the
         Company raises a substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer
         is permitted by applicable federal law, the Company and the Guarantors
         hereby agree to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision
         from the Commission allowing the Company and the Guarantors to
         Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted Securities.
         The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to use their respective
         reasonable best efforts to pursue the issuance of such a decision to
         the Commission staff level. In connection with the foregoing, the
         Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to use their respective
         reasonable best efforts to take all such other actions as may be
         requested by the Commission or otherwise required in connection with
         the issuance of such decision, including without limitation (A)
         participating in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B)
         delivering to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to
         the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such
         counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted
         and (C) diligently pursuing a resolution (which need not be favorable)
         by the Commission staff.

                (ii)    As a condition to its participation in the Exchange
         Offer, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (including,
         without limitation, any Holder who is a Broker Dealer) shall furnish,
         upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation of the
         Exchange Offer, a written representation to the Company and the
         Guarantors (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal
         contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the
         effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company, (B) it is not

                                       7

<PAGE>

         engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or
         understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the
         Series B Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is
         acquiring the Series B Notes in its ordinary course of business. As a
         condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer each Holder using
         the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Series B
         Notes shall acknowledge and agree that, if the resales are of Series B
         Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Series A Notes acquired
         directly from the Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not,
         under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement,
         rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and
                                                              ------------------

         Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and

         similar no-action letters (including, if applicable, any no-action
         letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with
         the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in
         connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a
         secondary resale transaction must be covered by an effective
         registration statement containing the selling security holder
         information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation
         S-K.

                (iii)   Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
         Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall provide a
         supplemental letter to the Commission (A) stating that the Company and

         representation that neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered
         into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute the
         Series B Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and that, to the
         best of the Company's and each Guarantor's information and belief, each
         Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Series B
         Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or

         use their respective reasonable best efforts to effect such
         registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities
         being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of
         distribution thereof (as indicated in the information furnished to the
         Company pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof), and pursuant thereto the
         Company and the Guarantors will prepare and file with the Commission a
         Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate
         form under the Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the
         Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method

         methods of distribution thereof within the time periods and otherwise
         in accordance with the provisions hereof; and

                (ii)    issue, upon the request of any Holder or purchaser of
         Series A Notes covered by any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated
         by this Agreement, Series B Notes having an aggregate principal amount
         equal to the aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes sold pursuant
         to the Shelf Registration Statement and surrendered to the Company for
         cancellation; the Company shall register Series B Notes on the Shelf
         Registration Statement for this purpose and issue the Series B Notes to
         the purchasers of securities subject to the Shelf Registration
         Statement in the names as such purchaser(s) shall designate.

         (c)    General Provisions.  In connection with any Registration
                -------------------
Statement and any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Company and
the Guarantors shall:

                (i)     use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep
         such Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all
         requisite financial statements for the period specified in Section 3 or
         4 of this Agreement, as applicable. Upon the occurrence of any event
         that would cause any such Registration Statement (A) to contain an
         untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact
         necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (B) not to
         be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities
         during the period required by this Agreement, or the Prospectus
         contained in such Registration Statement (A) to contain an untrue
         statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary
         to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
         which they were made, not misleading or (B) not to be effective and
         usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period
         required by this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors shall file
         promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement curing
         such defect, and, if Commission review is required, use their
         respective reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to be
         declared effective as soon as practicable;

                (ii)    prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
         post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as
         may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the
         applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as the case may
         be; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus
         supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
         under the Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424, 430A and 462, as
         applicable, under the Act in a timely manner; and comply with the
         provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities
         covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in
         accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the
         sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement
         to the Prospectus;

                (iii)   advise each Holder promptly and, if requested by such
         Holder, confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any
         Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and,
         with respect to any applicable Registration Statement or any
         post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective,
         (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration
         Statement or

                                       9

<PAGE>

         amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional
         information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of
         any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
         Statement under the Act or of the suspension by any state securities
         commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities
         for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any
         proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of the existence of
         any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a
         material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any
         amendment or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by
         reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions
         to or changes in the Registration Statement in order to make the
         statements therein not misleading, or that requires the making of any
         additions to or changes in the Prospectus in order to make the
         statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
         were made, not misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue
         any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
         Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory
         authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or
         exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities
         under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company and the Guarantors
         shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the
         withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time;

                (iv)    subject to Section 6(c)(i), if any fact or event
         contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have
         occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the
         Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document
         incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document
         so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer
         Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
         necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

                (v)     furnish to each Holder in connection with such exchange
         or sale, if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any
         Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any
         amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or
         Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after the
         initial filing of such Registration Statement), which documents will be
         subject to the review and comment of such Holders in connection with
         such sale, if any, for a period of at least five Business Days prior to
         such filing, and the Company will not file any such Registration
         Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such
         Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all such documents
         incorporated by reference) to which such Holders shall reasonably
         object within five Business Days after the receipt thereof. A Holder
         shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if such
         Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as
         applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a
         material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
         statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
         made, not misleading or fails to comply with the applicable
         requirements of the Act;

                (vi)    promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to
         be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or
         Prospectus, provide copies of such document

                                       10

<PAGE>

         to each Holder in connection with such exchange or sale, if any, make
         the Company's and the Guarantors' representatives available for
         discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters,
         and include such information in such document prior to the filing
         thereof as such Holders may reasonably request;

                (vii)   make available, during business hours and upon
         reasonable notice, for inspection by each Holder and any attorney or
         accountant retained by such Holders, all financial and other records,
         pertinent corporate documents of the Company and the Guarantors and
         cause the Company's and the Guarantors' officers, directors and
         employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
         Holder, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration
         Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the
         filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness;

                (viii)  if requested by any Holders in connection with such
         exchange or sale, promptly include in any Registration Statement or
         Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if
         necessary, such information as such Holders may reasonably request to
         have included therein, including, without limitation, information
         relating to the "Plan of Distribution" of the Transfer Restricted
         Securities, information with respect to the principal amount of
         Transfer Restricted Securities being sold, the purchase price being
         paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Transfer
         Restricted Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all
         required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
         amendment as soon as practicable after the Company is notified of the
         matters to be included in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
         amendment;

                (ix)    cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the
         Registration Statement to be rated with the appropriate rating
         agencies, if so requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
         principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities covered thereby;

                (x)     furnish to each Holder in connection with such exchange
         or sale, without charge, at least one copy of the Registration
         Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment
         thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
         incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (including exhibits
         incorporated therein by reference);

                (xi)    deliver to each Holder without charge, as many copies of
         the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any
         amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request;
         the Company and the Guarantors hereby consent to the use (in accordance
         with law) of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by
         each selling Holder in connection with the offering and the sale of the
         Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any
         amendment or supplement thereto;

                (xii)   upon the request of any Holder, enter into such
         agreements (including underwriting agreements) and make such
         representations and warranties and take all such other actions in
         connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition
         of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any applicable
         Registration Statement

                                       11

contemplated by this Agreement as may be reasonably requested by any Holder in
connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any applicable Registration
Statement. In such connection, the Company and the Guarantors shall:

                (A)     upon request of any Holder, furnish (or in the case of
         paragraphs (2) and (3), use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be
         furnished) to each Holder, upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer or
         upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case
         may be:

                        (1)     a certificate, dated such date, signed on behalf
                of the Company and each Guarantor by (x) the President or any
                Vice President and (y) a principal financial or accounting
                officer of the Company and such Guarantor, confirming, as of the
                date thereof, the matters set forth in Sections 5(a)(lvi), 8(a)
                and 8(q) of the Purchase Agreement and such other similar
                matters as such Holders may reasonably request;

                        (2)     an opinion, dated the date of Consummation of
                the Exchange Offer or the date of effectiveness of the Shelf
                Registration Statement, as the case may be, of counsel for the
                Company and the Guarantors covering matters similar to those set
                forth in Exhibit C to the Purchase Agreement and such other
                         ---------
                matter as such Holder may reasonably request in light of the
                then existing circumstances, and in any event including a
                statement to the effect that such counsel has participated in
                conferences with officers and other representatives of the
                Company and the Guarantors, representatives of the independent
                public accountants for the Company and the Guarantors and has
                considered the matters required to be stated therein and the
                statements contained therein, although such counsel has not
                independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of
                such statements; and that such counsel advises that, on the
                basis of the foregoing (relying as to materiality to the extent
                such counsel deems appropriate upon the statements of officers
                and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantors) and
                without independent check or verification), no facts came to
                such counsel's attention that caused such counsel to believe
                that the applicable Registration Statement, at the time such
                Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
                became effective and, in the case of the Exchange Offer
                Registration Statement, as of the date of Consummation of the
                Exchange Offer, contained an untrue statement of a material fact
                or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
                therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
                the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or
                that the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement as
                of its date and, in the case of the opinion dated the date of
                Consummation of the Exchange Offer, as of the date of
                Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a material fact
                or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make
                the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
                which they were made, not misleading. Without limiting the
                foregoing, such counsel may state

                                       12

<PAGE>

                further that such counsel assumes no responsibility for, and has
                not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or
                fairness of the financial statements, notes and schedules and
                other financial data included in any Registration Statement
                contemplated by this Agreement or the related Prospectus; and

                        (3)     a customary comfort letter, dated the date of
                Consummation of the Exchange Offer, or as of the date of
                effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case
                may be, from the Company's independent accountants, in the
                customary form and covering matters of the type customarily
                covered in comfort letters to underwriters in connection with
                underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes,
                and affirming the matters set forth in the comfort letters
                delivered pursuant to Section 8(h) of the Purchase Agreement;
                and

                (B)     deliver such other documents and certificates as may be
         reasonably requested by the selling Holders to evidence compliance with
         the matters covered in clause (A) above and with any customary
         conditions contained in any agreement entered into by the Company and
         the Guarantors pursuant to this clause (xii);

         (xiii) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities,
cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the
registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders may
request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable
the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that
neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to register or qualify
as a foreign entity where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that
would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than
as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any
jurisdiction where it is not now so subject;

         (xiv)  in connection with any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities
that will result in such securities no longer being Transfer Restricted
Securities, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold
and not bearing any restrictive legends; and to register such Transfer
Restricted Securities in such denominations and such names as the selling
Holders may request at least two Business Days prior to such sale of Transfer
Restricted Securities;

         (xv)   use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the
disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration
Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies
or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof to
consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to
the proviso contained in clause (xiii) above;

                                       13

<PAGE>

                (xvi)   provide a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted
         Securities not later than the effective date of a Registration
         Statement covering such Transfer Restricted Securities and provide the
         Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for the Transfer
         Restricted Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with the
         Depository Trust Company;

                (xvii)  otherwise use their respective best efforts to comply
         with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make
         generally available to its security holders with regard to any
         applicable Registration Statement, as soon as practicable, a
         consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158
         (which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period beginning
         after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as such term is
         defined in paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under the Act);

                (xviii) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not
         later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement
         required by this Agreement and, in connection therewith, cooperate with
         the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as
         may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance
         with the terms of the TIA; and execute and use their respective best
         efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be
         required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents
         required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be
         so qualified in a timely manner; and

                (xix)   provide promptly to each Holder, upon request, each
         document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of
         Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

         (d)    Restrictions on Holders. Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a
                -----------------------
Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of the notice referred to in
Section 6(c)(iii)(C) or any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact
of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof (in each case, a
"Suspension Notice"), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
 -----------------
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement
until (i) such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(iv) hereof, or (ii) such Holder is
advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed,
and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (in each case, the "Recommencement
                                                                --------------
Date"). Each Holder receiving a Suspension Notice hereby agrees that it will
----
either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other than permanent file copies, then in
such Holder's possession which have been replaced by the Company with more
recently dated Prospectuses or (ii) deliver to the Company (at the Company's
expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder's
possession of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that
was current at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. Furthermore, the
Company and the Guarantors may allow the Shelf Registration Statement and the
related Prospectus to cease to become effective and usable if the Company is in
possession of material non-public information relating to a proposed financing,
recapitalization, acquisition, business combination or other material
transaction involving the Company or the Guarantors which the board of directors
of the Company determines in good faith would require disclosure in the Shelf
Registration Statement

                                       14

<PAGE>

by the Company of such material non-public information for which the Company has
a bona fide business purpose for not disclosing and disclosure of such
information is not otherwise required by law; provided (i) that the Company
notifies the Holders within two business days after such board of directors
makes such decision (a "Transaction-Related Suspension Notice") and (ii) that
                        -------------------------------------
the number of days during which such Registration Statement was not effective or
usable pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall last no longer than 30 days in
any 12-month period. The time period regarding the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall
be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days in the period from
and including the date of delivery of the Suspension Notice or
Transaction-Related Suspension Notice, as applicable, to the date of delivery of
the Recommencement Date; however, no such extension shall be taken into account
in determining whether liquidated damages are due pursuant to Section 5 hereof
or the amount of such liquidated damages, it being agreed that the Company's
option to suspend use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this paragraph
shall be treated as a Registration Default for purposes of Section 5.

SECTION 7.        REGISTRATION EXPENSES

         (a)    All expenses incident to the Company's and the Guarantors'
performance of or compliance with this Agreement (other than underwriting
discounts and commissions in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted
Securities by the Holders) will be borne by the Company, regardless of whether a
Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all
registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii) all fees and expenses of
compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii)
all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Series B Notes

SECTION 8.        INDEMNIFICATION

         (a)    The Company and the Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, officers and each
Person, if any, who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, (including without limitation, any
legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending
any matter, including any action that could give rise to any such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments) caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) provided by the Company to any Holder or any prospective purchaser of
Series B Notes or registered Series A Notes, or caused by any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they are made, not misleading except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by an untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission that is based upon information relating
to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Holders.

         (b)    Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally
and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors,
and their respective directors and officers, and each person, if any, who
controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act) the Company, or the Guarantors to the same extent as the foregoing
indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors set forth in section (a) above,
but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished in
writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration
Statement. In no event shall any Holder, its directors, officers or any Person
who controls such Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of
the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to its
sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement
exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted
Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors,
officers or any Person who controls such Holder has otherwise been required to
pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.

         (c)    In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in
respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the
"indemnified party"), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person
 -----------------
against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying person") in writing
                                                -------------------
and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and
the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that
in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to both Sections 8(a) and 8(b), a Holder shall not be required to assume the
defense of such action pursuant to this Section 8(c), but may employ separate
counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of the Holder).
Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the
employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by
the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party shall

                                       16

<PAGE>

have failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such
action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and
the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by
such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which
are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party
(in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the
defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party). In any such case,
the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate
but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local
counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such fees and expenses shall be
reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by a
majority of the Holders, in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to
Section 8(a), and by the Company and Guarantors, in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall indemnify and
hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action (i)
effected with its written consent or (ii) effected without its written consent
if the settlement is entered into more than twenty Business Days after the
indemnifying party shall have received a request from the indemnified party for
reimbursement for the fees and expenses of counsel (in any case where such fees
and expenses are at the expense of the indemnifying party) and, prior to the
date of such settlement, the indemnifying party shall have failed to comply with
such reimbursement request. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior
written consent of the indemnified party effect any settlement or compromise of,
or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened
action in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party
and indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the
indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes
an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims
that are or could have been the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not
include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

         (d)    To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this
Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and
the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from their
sale of Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by
clause 8(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on
the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company or such Guarantor, on the one hand, or by
the Holder, on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information

                                       17

<PAGE>

and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount
paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and judgments referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth in the second paragraph of Section 8(a), any legal
or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim.

         The Company, the Guarantors and each Holder agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined
by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any
action that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Holder, its
directors, its officers or any Person, if any, who controls such Holder shall be
required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total received by such Holder with respect to the sale of Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i) the
amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) the
amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders'
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in
proportion to the respective principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities
held by each Holder hereunder and not joint.

SECTION 9.        RULE 144A AND RULE 144

         The Company and each Guarantor agrees with each Holder, for so long as
any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in
which the Company or such Guarantor (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder
or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any
sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted
Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information
required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act in order to permit resales of such
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A, and (ii) is subject to
Section 13 or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby
in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

SECTION 10.       MISCELLANEOUS

         (a)    Remedies. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree
                --------
that any failure by the Company and/or the Guarantors to comply with their
respective obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof may result in material
irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is
no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure

<PAGE>

damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure,
the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required
to specifically enforce the Company's and the Guarantor's obligations under
Sections 3 and 4 hereof. The Company and the Guarantors further agree to waive
the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.

         (b)    No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any
                --------------------------
Guarantor will, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement
with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to
the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
Neither the Company nor any Guarantor has previously entered into any agreement
granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person.
The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and
are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's and
the Guarantors' securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

         (c)    Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not
                ----------------------
be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures
from the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of Section 5
hereof and this Section 10(c)(i), the Company has obtained the written consent
of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the
case of all other provisions hereof, the Company has obtained the written
consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities (excluding Transfer Restricted Securities held by the
Company or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent
to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights
of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are being tendered pursuant to
the Exchange Offer, and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights
of other Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are not being tendered
pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may be given by the Holders of a majority of
the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities subject to
such Exchange Offer.

         (d)    Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders shall be third party
                -----------------------
beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and
shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent they may
deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights
of Holders hereunder.

         (e)    Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
                -------
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail
