                                August 16, 2000

Mr. Robert D. Martin
7779 Mandarin Drive
Boca Raton, FL 33433

Dear Bob:

         I am pleased to extend to you an offer as the Senior Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer for Russell Corporation. Your base annual salary
would be $275,000, paid on a monthly basis and your target bonus will be 50% of
base with a maximum potential of 100% of base. For the remainder of this year
and for fiscal year 2001, your bonus would be guaranteed at 50% of your base
salary earned. You will have a performance review and will be eligible for a
merit salary increase as of March 1, 2001.

         You will receive options to purchase 100,000 shares of Russell stock
at a price based on the average of the high and low price on your first day of
work. The options would vest over a four-year period with 25% of vesting on each
anniversary date. The next option date is anticipated to be in first quarter of
2003. In addition, you would receive (i) a hiring bonus of $25,000 to offset
other costs you may have incurred, such as loss on the Country Club initiation
and (ii) 5,000 shares of restricted stock to cover the loss of bonus from
Sunbeam as a result of your leaving prior to the end of its fiscal year and any
loss on the sale of your home in Boca Raton. The restricted shares would vest
over a period of four (4) years, with 25% of the shares becoming free of
restriction on each anniversary date of your employment.

         We would, of course, pay moving expenses, including purchase of your
house if it does not sell in a reasonable period. In addition, we will pay your
temporary living expenses in Atlanta until January 31, 2001. Provided, however,
if you have entered into a contract to purchase a house in Atlanta on or before
January 31, 2001, we will continue to pay your temporary living expenses until
March 31, 2001.

         The term ("Term") of your employment shall continue until the earliest
to occur of the following dates (the "Termination Date"): (i) the date of
termination of your employment by the Company other than for Cause (as defined
herein); (ii) the date of your death; (iii) the date coinciding with the end of
one hundred and eighty (180) days of your disability (as defined in the
Company's disability benefit plan applicable to you); (iv) the date of
termination for Cause; or (v) the date you terminate your employment.

         Depending upon the circumstances set forth below, if you cease to be
employed by the Company you may be entitled to benefits beyond the Term
("Compensation Continuance Period"). If your employment at Russell Corporation
is severed for any reason other than

Cause during your first two (2) years of employment, you will be paid twelve
(12) months severance pay unless you work for a competitor. After two (2) years
of employment, if your employment is terminated for any reason other than
Cause, you will be paid in accordance with our severance plan currently in
effect as follows: six (6) months severance (unless you work for a competitor)
and up to an additional six (6) months if you are unable to secure other
employment during that time. In the event your employment at Russell is severed
for any reason other than Cause within one year of my leaving Russell, in
addition to the severance benefits set forth immediately above, you will be
paid a bonus at the target level for the then current fiscal year, the
severance payment will be paid irrespective of whether or not you obtain other
employment during the severance period (unless you work for a competitor), and
your outstanding stock options and restricted shares shall immediately become
vested and shall be exercisable for a period of three (3) years from the date
of termination.

         Upon the expiration of the Term for any reason, you shall be entitled
to continue to receive your base salary through the last day of the month in
which the Termination Date occurs. In addition to the compensation provided for
in the preceding sentence upon death, disability, or upon the termination of
your employment by the Company other than for Cause, you shall receive the
bonus for which you were eligible in the year of termination, prorated for the
portion of such year for which you were employed (such period to be deemed to
end on the Termination Date) at the rate such bonus was earned but in no event
less than 50% of your base salary for such period.

         Further, if severance is payable, you shall receive a bonus with
respect to the severance period set forth above paid at a rate of 50% of said
base salary during the Compensation Continuance Period, prorated for the
portion of such time period that base salary is payable, to be paid at such
times as bonus payments are normally paid to other executives of the Company.

         For purposes of this letter agreement, "Cause" shall be limited to:
(i) conviction of a felony other than those felonies involving the use of an
automobile in violation of any vehicle statute; (ii) a material breach of a
provision of this letter agreement by you, which breach is not cured within
thirty (30) days after a Termination Notice has been given by Russell
Corporation to you; or (iii) the Final Determination of any action the effect
of which is to permanently enjoin you from fulfilling your duties under this
letter agreement. "Final Determination" as used herein shall mean the
exhaustion of all available remedies and appeals by you or your refusal to
pursue such remedies and appeals. "Termination Notice" as used herein shall
mean a written notice which (i) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of your employment and
(ii) sets forth the date of termination.

         You would, of course, be eligible for the other executive benefit
programs, including a SERP retirement program. However, we do not have an
executive car program or allowance.

         As part of our aim to achieve a "drug free" working environment, we
request that all employees undergo a drug screening process. Mike Hager, our
Senior Vice President of Human Resources, can discuss an arrangement to
complete this requirement that will be centered around your convenience. Mike
will be available to share specific benefit information with you, in particular
the executive program. He can be reached at (678) 742-8102.

         Bob, I believe we have an opportunity that will be exciting and
intellectually stimulating for you. We also know that you and Carol will enjoy
Atlanta. Again, all of us are delighted to have you join this exciting team and
look forward to the numerous contributions you will bring to Russell.

         If this letter is acceptable to you, please sign below and forward a
signed copy to me.

                                                      Best regards,

                                                      /s/ Jack Ward

         "Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges" means, with
respect to any Person for any period, (1) the sum of, without duplication, the
amounts for such period, taken as a single accounting period, of (A)

Person, the ratio of the aggregate amount of Consolidated Cash Flow Available
for Fixed Charges of such Person for the four full fiscal quarters immediately
preceding the date of the transaction (the "Transaction Date") giving rise to
the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (such four
full fiscal quarter period being referred to herein as the "Four Quarter
Period") to the aggregate amount of Consolidated Fixed Charges of such Person
for the Four Quarter Period.

         In addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, for purposes of
this definition, "Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges" and
"Consolidated Fixed Charges" shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro
forma basis for the period of such calculation to, without duplication, (1) the
incurrence of any Indebtedness of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries (and
the application of the net proceeds thereof) during the period commencing on the
first day of the Four Quarter Period to and including the Transaction Date (the
"Reference Period"), including, without limitation, the incurrence of the
Indebtedness giving rise to the need to make such calculation (and the
application of the net proceeds thereof), as if such incurrence (and

Acquisition giving rise to the need to make such calculation as a result of such

liable for Acquired Indebtedness) occurring during the Reference Period, as if
such Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition occurred on the first day of the Reference
Period.

         Furthermore, in calculating "Consolidated Fixed Charges" for purposes
of determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of this "Consolidated
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio," (1) interest on outstanding Indebtedness
determined on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will
continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a
fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness in
effect on the Transaction Date; and (2) if interest on any Indebtedness actually
incurred on the Transaction Date may optionally be determined at an interest
rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank
offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the
Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Reference
Period. If such Person or any of its Subsidiaries directly or indirectly
guarantees Indebtedness of a third Person, the above clause shall give effect to
the incurrence of such guaranteed Indebtedness as if such Person or such
Subsidiary had directly incurred or otherwise assumed such guaranteed
Indebtedness.

         all as contemplated by Section 2.15 hereof), and (B) an Officers'
         Certificate from the Company;

                  (3)      Following the termination of the Restricted Period,
         beneficial interests in a Regulation S Temporary Global Security of
         any series shall be exchanged for beneficial

                                      30

<PAGE>
         interests in one or more permanent global securities of such series in
         registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the form of
         Exhibit A attached hereto (a "Regulation S Permanent Global Security"
         and, collectively with the Regulation S Temporary Global Security, are
         the Regulation S Global Securities) pursuant to the Applicable
         Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of Regulation S
         Permanent Global Securities of any series, the Trustee shall cancel
         the Regulation S Temporary Global Securities with respect to such
         series. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary
         Global Securities of each series and the Regulation S Permanent Global
         Securities of each series may, from time to time, be increased or
         decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the
         Depositary or, its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with
         transfers of interest as hereinafter provided;

                  (4)      Exchange Securities exchanged for interests in the
         144A Global Securities, the Regulation S Global Securities or any
         Physical Securities of any series shall, subject to Section 2.16(b), be
         issued in the form of one or more permanent global securities in
         registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the form of
         Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Exchange Global Securities"), which
         shall be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary,
         duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as
         hereinafter provided;

         (c)      Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The
provisions of the "Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System" and "Terms and
Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear" and the "General Terms and Conditions of
Clearstream" and "Customer Handbook" of Clearstream shall be applicable to
transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global
Securities and Regulation S Permanent Global Securities that are held by
Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

SECTION 2.02      EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION.

         One Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or
facsimile signature.

         If the Officer whose signature is on any of the Securities no longer
holds that office at the time the Securities are authenticated, the Securities
shall nevertheless be valid.

         A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee. The signature of the Trustee shall be conclusive
evidence that the applicable Securities have been authenticated under this
Indenture. The form of Trustee's certificate of authentication to be borne by
the Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.

         The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by one
Officer (an "Authentication Order"), authenticate Securities of each series for
original issue, of which $175.0 million will be issued as Initial Securities on
the date hereof. There is no limit on the aggregate principal amount of
Securities that may be outstanding at any time; however, the issuance of such
Additional Securities is subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this
Indenture.

                                       31
<PAGE>

         The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the
Company to authenticate Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such
appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities 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.

         The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver
any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel,
determines that such action would not be permitted by the terms of the
Indenture, may not lawfully be taken, or, if the Trustee, in good faith, shall
determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to
existing Holders.

SECTION 2.03      REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT.

         The Company shall maintain (a) an office or agency where Securities may
be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and (b)
an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment ("Paying
Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities 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, except
that, for the purposes of Section 4.11 and Section 4.12 and Article 3 and
Article 8, the Paying Agent shall not be the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company or any of their respective Affiliates

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

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

                                       32
<PAGE>
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 shall hold in trust for the benefit of
Holders of Securities of any series or the Trustee all money held by the Paying
Agent for the payment of principal, premium or Special Interest, if any, or
interest on the Securities of such series, and shall 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 or one or more Guarantors,
neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall serve as Paying Agent
for the Securities.

SECTION 2.05      HOLDER LISTS.

         The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
all Holders of Securities of each series 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 Securities, including the aggregate principal amount thereof,
and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA ss. 312(a).

SECTION 2.06      TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

         (a)      Where Securities of any series are presented to the
Registrar with a request to register the transfer thereof or exchange them for
an equal principal amount of Securities of such series of other denominations,
the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its
requirements for such transactions are met; provided, however, that any Security
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly
endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder
thereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing. Unrestricted Global
Securities may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form
of a beneficial interest in Unrestricted Global Securities. No written orders or
instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect such
transfers. To permit registrations of transfer and exchanges, the Issuers shall
issue and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar's request,
subject to such rules as the Trustee may reasonably require.

         (b)      The Company and the Registrar shall not be required (1) to
issue, to register the transfer of, or to exchange Securities of any series
during a period beginning at the opening of business on a Business Day fifteen
(15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities under
Section 4.11 or Section 4.12 and ending at the close of business on the day of
such

                                       33
<PAGE>
mailing, or (2) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security (A)
selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
any Security being redeemed in part, or (B) tendered for repurchase pursuant to
Section 4.11 or Section 4.12, except the portion of the tendered Securities not
being repurchased.

         (c)      No service charge shall be made for any registration of a
transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the
Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any
transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith
(other than such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon
exchanges pursuant to Section 4.11, Section 4.12, Section 2.10, Section 3.06 or
Section 9.05) the cost of which shall be borne by the Company).

         (d)      Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any
Security, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person
in whose name any Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest (including any Special Interest) on such Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and neither the
Trustee, any Agent, nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         (e)      Subject to Section 2.16(b), any Holder of a Global Security
or any beneficial interest therein shall, by acceptance of such Global Security
or any beneficial interest therein, agree that transfers of beneficial interest
in such Global Security may be effected only through a book entry system
maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent), and that
ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall be required to
be reflected in a book entry.

         (f)      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 with
the original to follow by first class mail.

         (g)      Each Holder of Securities agrees to indemnify the Company and
the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or
assignment of any of such Holder's Securities in violation of any provision of
this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities laws.

         (h)      The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any
interest in any Securities (including any transfers between or among
Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Securities) other
than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or
evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly
required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

         (i)      Exchange Offer. Upon the occurrence of an Exchange Offer in
accordance with an applicable Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall
issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section
2.02, the Trustee shall authenticate (1) one or more Unrestricted Global
Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the

                                       34
<PAGE>
beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Securities tendered for acceptance
by Persons that certify in the applicable Letters of Transmittal that (A) they
are not Broker-Dealers, (B) they are not participating in a distribution of the
Exchange Securities, and (C) they are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) of
the Company, and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer, and (2)
Unrestricted Physical Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Restricted Physical Securities tendered for acceptance
by Persons that certify in the applicable Letters of Transmittal that (A) they
are not Broker-Dealers, (B) they are not participating in a distribution of the
Exchange Securities, and (C) they are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) of
the Company, and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer. Concurrently with
the issuance of such Unrestricted Global Securities, the Trustee shall cause the
aggregate principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Securities to be
reduced accordingly, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Persons designated by the Holders of Restricted
Definitive Securities such accepted Restricted Definitive Securities in the
appropriate principal amount, and cancel or cause to be cancelled such
Restricted Definitive Securities.

         (j)      For purposes of this Section 2.06 all references to the
Securities shall include the corresponding Guarantees endorsed thereon.

SECTION 2.07      REPLACEMENT SECURITIES.

         If any mutilated Security of any series is surrendered to the Trustee
or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security of any series, the Company shall
issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall
authenticate a replacement Security of such series if the Trustee's requirements
are met. 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 such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities are replaced. The
Company and the Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

         Each of the replacement Securities issued pursuant to this Section 2.07
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 Securities
duly issued hereunder.

SECTION 2.08      OUTSTANDING SECURITIES.

         The Securities of any series outstanding at any time are all the
Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those
delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in Global
Securities of such series 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, Securities do not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds such
Securities; however, Securities held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section
3.07(b)(a)(1) hereof.

                                       35
<PAGE>

         If Securities are replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, such
Securities cease to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof
satisfactory to it that the replaced Securities are held by a bona fide
purchaser.

         If the principal amount of any Securities is considered paid under
Section 4.01 hereof, such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on
such Securities 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 Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date
such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to
accrue interest.

SECTION 2.09      TREASURY SECURITIES.

         In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Securities of any series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Securities of such series owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate, shall be
considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Securities of such series that a Trust
Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The
Company agrees to notify the Trustee of the existence of any Securities of any
series owned by the Company or any Affiliate.

SECTION 2.10      TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

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

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

SECTION 2.11      CANCELLATION.

         The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or
payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and
shall dispose of such canceled Securities in accordance with its customary
procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act)
unless the Company directs such canceled Securities to be returned to them.
Subject to Section 2.07 and Section 2.19, the Company may not

                                       36
<PAGE>
issue new Securities of any series to replace Securities that it has paid or
redeemed 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 Securities of
any series, 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 of the Securities of such series on a subsequent special record
date, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities. The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be
paid on the Securities and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall
fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date,
provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to
the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before
the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the
Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail
or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date,
the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.13      RECORD DATE.

         The record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of
Securities of any series entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or
consent authorized or permitted under this Indenture shall be determined as
provided for in TIA Section 316(c).

SECTION 2.14      CUSIP NUMBERS.

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

SECTION 2.15      LEGENDS.

         The following legends shall appear on the face of all Global Securities
and all definitive securities issued under this Indenture unless specifically
stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.16      ISSUANCE OF PHYSICAL SECURITIES; BOOK-ENTRY PROVISIONS FOR
                  GLOBAL SECURITIES.

         (a)      The Global Securities initially shall (1) be registered in the
name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary, (2) be delivered to
the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (3) bear the appropriate
legends as set forth in Section 2.15.

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

         (b)      Transfers of any Global Security shall be limited to transfers
in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective
nominees. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global
Securities will not be entitled to receive Physical Securities. If required to
do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain
Physical Securities in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global
Security upon written request in accordance with the Depositary's and the
Registrar's procedures. In addition, Physical Securities shall be transferred to
all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global

at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered in order to act as

Company within 90 days of such notice, or (2) the Company executes and delivers
to the Trustee and Registrar an Officers' Certificate stating that such Global
Security shall be so exchangeable, or (3) an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing with respect to such series and the Registrar has received a
written request from the Depositary to issue Physical Securities; provided,
however, that, in no event

shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Note be exchanged by the Company for

pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act other than Rule 903 or Rule 904.

         (c)      In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of
the beneficial interest in a Global Note to beneficial owners in the form of
Physical Securities pursuant to Section 2.16(b), the Registrar shall (if one or
more Physical Securities are to be issued) upon satisfaction of all of the
requirements for transfer or exchange contained in this Indenture and the
Securities or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act reflect on its books
and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the beneficial
interest in such Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall

aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations.

         (e)      Any Physical Security constituting a Restricted Security
delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Security pursuant to Section
2.16(b), or Section 2.16(c), shall, except as otherwise provided by Section
2.17(a)(1)(A) and Section 2.17(c), bear the legend regarding transfer
restrictions set forth in Section 2.15 to the extent such legends are applicable
to the Physical Securities.

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

                  (1)      the Registrar shall register the transfer of any
         Security constituting a Restricted Security, whether or not such
         Security bears the Private Placement Legend, if (A) the requested
         transfer is two years after the later of the original issue date
         applicable to such series of Restricted Securities and the last date on
         which the Company or any Affiliate of the Company was the owner of such
         Securities or, in the case of a beneficial interest in a Global

                                       41
<PAGE>
         beneficial interest, or (B) the proposed transferor has delivered to
         the Registrar a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C
         attached hereto; and

                  (2)      if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member and the
         Securities to be transferred consist of Physical Securities which after
         transfer are to be evidenced by an interest in the Global Security,
         upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions given in accordance with
         the Depositary's and the Registrar's procedures, the Registrar shall
         reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the
         principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the
         principal amount of the Physical Securities to be transferred, and the
         Trustee shall cancel the Physical Securities so transferred.

         (b)      Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with
respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Security constituting
a Restricted Security to a QIB (excluding transfers to Non-U.S. Persons):

                  (1)      the Registrar shall register the transfer if such
         transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box
         provided for on the form of Security stating, or has otherwise advised
         the Company and the Registrar in writing, that the sale has been
         effected in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee
         who has signed the certification provided for on the form of Security
         stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the Registrar in
         writing, that it is purchasing the Securities for its own account or an
         account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion
         and that any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and
         it is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A
         and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the
         Company as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not
         to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is
         relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the
         exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and

                  (2)      if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member and the
         Securities to be transferred consist of Physical Securities which after
         transfer are to be evidenced by an interest in the Global Security,
         upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions given in accordance with
         the Depositary's and the Registrar's procedures, the Registrar shall
         reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the
         principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the
         principal amount of the Physical Securities to be transferred, and the
         Trustee shall cancel the Physical Securities so transferred.

         (c)      Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of the
transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not bearing the Private
Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear the
Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of the transfer, exchange or
replacement of Securities bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar
shall deliver only Securities that bear the Private Placement Legend unless (1)
the circumstance

                                       42
<PAGE>
contemplated by this Section 2.17(a)(1)(A) exists, or (2) there is delivered to
the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and
the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions
on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of
the Securities Act;

         (d)      Acknowledgment of Transfer Restrictions. By its acceptance of
any Security bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a
Security acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in
this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will
transfer such Security only as provided in this Indenture;

         (e)      Transfer Limits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, (1) prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period,

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), and (2) a beneficial interest in a
Regulation S Temporary Global Security may not be exchanged for a Physical
Security or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
Physical Security prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period, and (B)

903(c)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act, except in the case of a transfer
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act other than Rule 903 or Rule 904.

         (f)      Record Retention. The Registrar shall retain, until such time
as no Securities remain Outstanding, copies of all letters, notices and other
written communications received pursuant to Section 2.16 hereof or this Section
2.17. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such
letters, notices or other written communications, in each case, at its own cost
and expense, at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice
to the Registrar.

SECTION 2.18      COMPUTATION OF INTEREST

         Interest (including any Special Interest) on the Securities shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

         shall be differentiated from all previous series by sequential
         alphabetical designation inscribed thereon;

                  (2)      Additional Securities of the same series may consist
         of more than one different and separate tranches and may differ only
         with respect to aggregate outstanding

                                       43
<PAGE>

         principal amounts of Securities, issue dates, issue prices above or
         below par, Special Interest rates, if any, and time to maturity
         (provided that, in no event shall the Maturity Date be other than the
         Maturity Date of the Securities issued on the Issue Date), but all such
         different and separate tranches of the same series shall constitute one
         series and all such series shall form a single class and vote as a
         single class on all matters under this Indenture, except that any
         tranche or series may amend or waive any provisions relating to Special
         Interest solely applicable to such tranche or series;

                  (3)      each series of Additional Securities issued under
         this Indenture shall be in substantially the form of Initial
         Securities with such variations, omissions and insertions as are
         necessary or permitted hereunder and shall be dated as of the date of
         issue for such Additional Securities;

                  (4)      all Additional Securities shall constitute Senior
         Indebtedness of the Company and shall rank pari passu with all other
         outstanding Securities;

                  (5)      no Additional Securities shall be issued hereunder
         if, at the time of issuance thereof and after giving effect to the
         application of the proceeds thereof, any Default or Event of Default
         shall have occurred and be continuing;

                  (6)      the Company and each Guarantor shall execute and
         deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel,
         each dated the date of issue of such series of Additional Securities
         stating that the issuance of such Additional Securities is authorized
         under this Indenture (as supplemented by one or more supplemental
         indentures) and that no Default or Event of Default under the Indenture
         or the Securities exists (which may be limited, in the case of such
         Opinion of Counsel, to counsel's knowledge), or will occur as a result
         of such issuance. Such Officer's Certificate shall set forth the
         information and computations (in sufficient detail) required in order
         to establish whether the Company is in compliance with the requirements
         of Section 4.08 on such date, including on a pro forma basis; and

                  (7)      the Company and each Guarantor shall execute and

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 3.01      NOTICES TO THE TRUSTEE.

         If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 3.07
hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 45 days, but not more than 75
days, before a Redemption Date, an Officers' Certificate, setting forth: (1) the
clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; (2) the

                                       44
<PAGE>
SECTION 3.02      SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.

         If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular
Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee
from the outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption (1) in such
manner as complies with the requirements of the principal national securities
exchange, if any, on which the Securities being redeemed are listed, or (2) if
the Securities are not then listed on a national securities exchange then pro
rata or by lot.

         In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Securities to
be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than
45 nor more than 75 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee (unless a
shorter time period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) from the outstanding
Securities not previously called for redemption.

         The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the
Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Securities and
portions of Securities selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples
of $1,000; except that if all of the Securities of a Holder are to be redeemed,
the entire outstanding amount of Securities 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 Securities called for
redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.

SECTION 3.03      NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

         (a)      Notice of redemption pursuant to this Article 3 shall be given
by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed,
at the address of such Holder appearing in the Security register maintained by
the Registrar. Failure to mail any such notice or any defect in the mailing
thereof in respect of any Security shall not affect the validity of the
redemption of any other Securities.

         (b)      All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be
redeemed and shall state:

                  (1)      the Redemption Date;

                  (2)      the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued
         interest, if any, to be paid;

                  (3)      that, unless the Company defaults in making the
         redemption payment, interest on Securities or portions thereof called
         for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and
         the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to
         receive payment of the Redemption Price (and interest (including any
         Special Interest) accrued through the Redemption Date) upon surrender
         to the Paying Agent of the Securities redeemed;

                  (4)      if any Security is to be redeemed in part, the
         portion of the principal amount (equal to $1,000 or any integral
         multiple thereof) of such Security to be redeemed and that on and after
         the Redemption Date, upon surrender for cancellation of such original
         Security to

                                       45
<PAGE>

         the Paying Agent, a new Security or Securities in the aggregate
         principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued
         without charge to the Holder;

                  (5)      that Securities called for redemption must be
         surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price and the
         name and address of the Paying Agent;

                  (6)      the CUSIP number(s), if any, relating to such
         Securities, but no representation is made as to the correctness or
         accuracy of any such CUSIP numbers; and

                  (7)      the paragraph of the Securities and/or Section of
         this Indenture pursuant to which the Securities are being redeemed.

         Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of
the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's written request,
by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company; 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. The notice, if mailed in the
manner provided herein, shall be presumed to have been given, whether or not the
Holder receives such notice.

SECTION 3.04      EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

         Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03
hereof, Securities called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on
the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price. A notice of redemption may not
be conditional. The failure to include the CUSIP number or any incorrect CUSIP
number shall not affect the validity of such notice. Upon surrender to the
Paying Agent, such Securities called for redemption shall be paid at the
Redemption Price plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date, but interest
installments whose maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be
payable on the relevant Interest Payment Dates to the Holders of record at the
close of business on the relevant record dates referred to in the Securities.

SECTION 3.05      DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

         At least one Business Day prior to any Redemption Date, the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent, or, if the Company is acting
as its own Paying Agent, hold in trust an amount of money in same day funds
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all the
Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on the Redemption Date,
other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on the
Redemption Date which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for
cancellation.

         If the Company complies with the preceding paragraph, then, unless the
Company or its Paying Agent defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price,
interest on the Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the
applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Securities are presented for
payment. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal, premium, if any, and, to the
extent lawful, accrued

                                       46
<PAGE>

interest thereon shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at
the rate provided in the Securities.

SECTION 3.06      SECURITIES REDEEMED OR PURCHASED IN PART.

         Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Security which is to be
redeemed in part, the Company shall execute, any Guarantor shall guarantee and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security
without service charge, a new Security or Securities (accompanied by a notation
of Guarantee duly endorsed by any Guarantor), of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange
for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered that
is not redeemed.

SECTION 3.07      OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

         (a)      At any time prior to February 1, 2005, the Company may on any
one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the sum of (1) the aggregate principal
amount of Initial Securities (including, without duplication, any Exchange
Securities), and (2) each initial aggregate principal amount of any Additional
Securities issued prior to such date (including, without limitation, any
Exchange Securities) at a redemption price of 110.375% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity
Offerings; provided that:

                  (1)      at least 65% of the sum of (i) the aggregate
         principal amount of Initial Securities (including, without limitation,
         any Exchange Securities), and (ii) each initial aggregate principal
         amount of any Additional Securities issued on the applicable issue date
         for such Additional Securities (including, without limitation, any
         Exchange Securities) remains outstanding immediately after the
         occurrence of such redemption (excluding Securities held by the Company
         and its Subsidiaries); and

                  (2)      the redemption must occur within 180 days of the date
         of the closing of such Public Equity Offering.

         (b)      The Securities also will be redeemable, as a whole or in part,
at the option of the Company at any time or from time to time upon not less than
30 days' nor more than 60 days' notice, at a Redemption Price equal to the
greater of:

                  (1)      100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be
         redeemed; or

                  (2)      the sum of the present values of the Remaining
         Scheduled Payments (as defined below) discounted, on a semiannual basis
         (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at the
         Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points;

plus, in the case of each of clause (1) or (2) immediately above, accrued
interest (including any Special Interest) to the Redemption Date.

things necessary to, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, preserve and
keep in full force and effect the corporate or partnership existence and rights
(charter and statutory), licenses and/or franchises of the Company and each of
its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
shall not be required to preserve any such existence, rights, licenses or
franchises if the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably determine
that (1) the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and (2) the loss
thereof is not materially adverse to either the Company and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole or to the ability of the Company to otherwise satisfy its
obligations hereunder.

governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies
which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate
provision has been made or where the failure to effect such payment or discharge
is not adverse in any material respect to the Company.

shall be reasonably necessary for the proper conduct of its business; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 4.05(a) shall prevent the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of
its properties or assets if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Board
of Directors of the Company or such Subsidiary, desirable in the conduct of its
business and if such discontinuance is not materially adverse to either the

companies similarly situated (which may include self-insurance in the same form
as is customarily maintained by companies similarly situated).

constitute a default under any Senior Indebtedness has come to their attention
and, if such a Default, Event of Default or a default under any Senior
Indebtedness has come to their attention, specifying the nature and period of
existence thereof; provided, however, that, without any restriction as to the

shall not be liable by reason of any failure to obtain knowledge of any such

                                       51
<PAGE>

Default, Event of Default or a default under any Senior Indebtedness that would

                  Indebtedness or from the exercise of options, warrants or
                  rights to purchase Capital Stock (other than Redeemable

                  4.09(d)(4)), an amount equal to the lesser of the return of
                  capital with respect to such Investment and the cost of such

upon the issuance of such Indebtedness, options, warrants or rights plus the
incremental cash amount received by the Company upon the conversion or exercise
thereof.

         (d)      None of the foregoing provisions prohibits:

                                       54

         Securities in the same manner and at least to the same extent as the
         Subordinated Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, acquired
         or retired;

                  (4)      Investments constituting Restricted Payments made as
         a result of the receipt of non-cash consideration from any Asset Sale

SECTION 4.10      LIMITATION ON LIENS.

         (a)      The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist or become effective
any Liens of any kind against or upon any of its Assets now owned or thereafter
acquired, securing any Indebtedness unless the Notes, in the case of the
Company, or if the Subsidiary is a Guarantor, the Guarantees, are secured
equally and ratably with such other Indebtedness until such time as such
obligation is no longer secured by a Lien, except for the Permitted Liens;
provided that, if such Indebtedness is by its terms subordinate to the
Securities or the relevant Guarantees, the Lien securing such subordinate or
junior Indebtedness will be subordinate and junior to the Lien securing the
Securities or the relevant Guarantees with the same relative priority as such
subordinated or junior Indebtedness shall have with respect to the Securities or
the relevant Guarantees.

         (b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary
may incur Liens which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth
in the preceding paragraph if, after giving effect thereto and at the time of
determination, the sum of (1) the Indebtedness of the Company and its
Subsidiaries secured by Liens not otherwise permitted under clauses (1) through
(14) of the definition of "Permitted Liens", and (2) Attributable Liens of the

purchase (the "Change of Control Offer") on a Business Day (the "Change of
Control Purchase Date") not more than 45 nor less than 30 days following the
mailing of the notice described below to holders of the Securities, all
Securities then outstanding at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any Special
Interest), to the Change of Control Purchase Date.

         (b)      Within 30 days following a Change of Control and prior to the
mailing of the notice to the holders of the Securities provided for in the next
paragraph, the Company covenants to either: (1) repay in full all Indebtedness
under the Credit Agreement and terminate the commitments of the lenders
thereunder, or (2) obtain the requisite consent under the Credit Agreement to
permit the repurchase of the Securities as provided herein. The Company shall
first comply with the provisions of this paragraph before it shall be required
to repurchase the Securities, but any failure to comply with its obligation to
offer to repurchase the Securities upon a Change of Control shall constitute an
Event of Default under this Indenture.

         (c)      Notice of a Change of Control Offer shall be mailed by the
Company not later than the 30th day after the Change of Control Date to the
Holders of Securities at their last registered addresses with a copy to the

         (a)      The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Sale unless:

                  (1)      the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be,
         receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to
         the Fair Market Value of the shares or assets sold or otherwise
         disposed of; and

                  (2)      at least 70% of such consideration consists of cash
         or Cash Equivalents.

         (b)      To the extent the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale are not
applied to repay (including by way of cash collateralization of outstanding
letters of credit) borrowings under the Credit Agreement, as then in effect, or
to repay or acquire other Senior Indebtedness, subject to the conditions
described below, the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, may, within
fifteen months of such Asset Sale, apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset
Sale to an investment in properties and assets that replace the properties and
assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or in properties and assets that
will be used in the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries existing on the
Issue Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto ("Replacement Assets");

         (c)      Any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not used to
repay, borrowings under the Credit Agreement or to repay or acquire other Senior
Indebtedness or that are not invested in Replacement Assets within the
fifteen-month period described above shall constitute "Excess

                                       58
<PAGE>

Proceeds" subject to disposition as provided below. If Net Cash Proceeds are

Proceeds so used shall reduce the amount of Restricted Payments excluded from
the limitations of Section 4.09(a) by the provisions of Section 4.09(b)(4);

         (d)      When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds

from all Holders of Securities and all holders of other pari passu Indebtedness
containing provisions substantially similar to those set forth in this Section
4.12 ("Tenderable Indebtedness"), on a day not more than 40 Business Days

to all Holders of Securities not less than 20 Business Days nor more than 40
Business Days before the Asset Sale Purchase Date at their last registered
address with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. The Asset Sale Offer

         thereof;

                  (4)      that, unless the Company shall default in the payment
         of the Asset Sale Offer Price, any Security accepted for payment
         pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after
         the Asset Sale Purchase Date;

                  (5)      that Holders electing to have Securities purchased
         pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender their
         Securities to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice

         to the Asset Sale Purchase Date and must complete any form of letter of
         transmittal proposed by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the
         Trustee and the Paying Agent;

                  (6)      that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their
         election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than 5:00 p.m.,

<PAGE>

                  (7)      that if Securities and Tenderable Indebtedness in a
         principal amount in excess of the Holder's pro rata share of the amount
         of Excess Proceeds are tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, the
         Company shall purchase Securities on a pro rata basis among the
         Securities tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate
         by the Company so that only Securities and Tenderable Indebtedness in
         denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 shall be
         acquired);

                  (8)      that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in

         the most recent annual and quarterly reports of the Company filed with
         the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act (or, if the Company is not

         reports prepared pursuant to Section 4.07), a description of material
         developments in the Company's business, information with respect to pro
         forma historical financial information after giving effect to such
         Asset Sale and Asset Sale Offer and such other information concerning
         the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Asset Sale Offer as
         would be material to a Holder of Securities in connection with the
         decision of such Holder as to whether or not it should tender
         Securities pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

         (f)      On the Asset Sale Purchase Date, the Company shall (1) accept
for payment, on a pro rata basis, Securities or portions thereof and Tenderable
Indebtedness tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer and not withdrawn, (2)
deposit with the Paying Agent money, in immediately available funds, in an
amount sufficient to pay the Asset Sale Offer Price of all Securities or
portions thereof so tendered and accepted and (3) deliver to the Trustee the
Securities so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate setting forth the
Securities or portions thereof tendered to and accepted for payment by the

and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders

Security surrendered. Any Securities not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or

announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer not later than the first Business
Day following the Asset Sale Purchase Date. To the extent that the aggregate
principal amount of Securities and Tenderable Indebtedness tendered pursuant to
an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use such
deficiency for general corporate purposes. Upon completion of such Asset Sale
Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero. For purposes of
this Section 4.12, the Company shall not act as Paying Agent;

         (g)      The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act, Rule 14e-1 promulgated
thereunder and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the
repurchase of Securities pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

         not Affiliates of the Company or Interested Persons;

                  (2)      with respect to a transaction or series of

         Officer's Certificate to the Trustee certifying that such transaction
         or series of transactions complies with the preceding clause (1);

                  (3)      with respect to a transaction or series of
         transactions involving aggregate payments or value equal to or greater

         disinterested members of the Board of Directors ratifying such
         transaction or series of transactions, along with an Officer's

         (b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 4.13(a), the following

         Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company; or

                  (5)      guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company or any
         other Subsidiary of the Company.

         (b)      The prohibitions set forth in Section 4.14(a) shall not apply
to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

                  (1)      applicable law;

                  (2)      customary non-assignment provisions of any contract

         Subsidiary of the Company;

                  (3)      customary restrictions on transfers of property

                  (4)      any agreement or other instrument of a Person
         acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (or a
         Subsidiary of such Person) in existence at the time of such acquisition
         (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or
         restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or
         assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the properties or
         assets of the Person, so acquired;

                  (5)      provisions contained in agreements or instruments
         relating to Indebtedness which prohibit the transfer of all or
         substantially all of the assets of the obligor thereunder

                                       62

         other Senior Indebtedness, in each case, as in effect on the Issue
         Date, and encumbrances and restrictions in permitted refinancings or
         replacements thereof which are no less favorable to the Holders of the

         Indebtedness so refinanced or replaced.

SECTION 4.15      SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS.

thereafter rent or lease such Assets or other Assets which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries intends to use for the same purpose or purposes as the Assets
being sold or transferred (a "Sale and Leaseback Transaction"); provided that
the Company or any Guarantor may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if:

                  (1)      the Company or that Guarantor, as applicable, could
         have (A) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable
         Indebtedness relating to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction under the
         proviso contained in Section 4.08, and (B) incurred a Lien to secure
         such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.10;

                  (2)      The gross cash proceeds of that Sale and Leaseback
         Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value, which (if in
         excess of $10 million) will be determined in good faith by the Board of
         Directors and set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the
         Trustee, of the property that is the subject of such sale and leaseback
         transaction; and

                  (3)      the transfer of assets in that Sale and Leaseback
         Transaction is permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of
         such transaction in compliance with, Section 4.11 and Section 4.12.

SECTION 4.16      LIMITATION ON GUARANTEES BY SUBSIDIARIES.

         The Company will not permit any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to
assume, guarantee or in any manner become liable with respect to any
Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor unless such Subsidiary is a
Guarantor or simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to
this Indenture providing for the guarantee of payment of the Securities by such
Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of Article 11 hereto. In connection with the
execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture, such Subsidiary shall
execute and deliver a Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto.

SECTION 4.17      WAIVER OF STAY, EXTENSION OR USURY LAWS.

                                       63
<PAGE>

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

SECTION 4.18      LIMITATION ON APPLICABILITY OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.

         During any period of time that (1) the rating assigned to the
Securities by either of S&P and Moody's (collectively, the "Rating Agencies") is
no less than BBB- and Baa3, respectively (an "Investment Grade Rating"), and (2)
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company and
its Subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants ("Covenant Suspension")
described in Section 4.08, Section 4.09, Section 4.12, Section 4.13, Section
4.14, clause (1)(A) of Section 4.15, and Section 5.01(a)(4) (collectively, the
"Suspended Covenants"). If, at any time following a Covenant Suspension, the
Securities do not continue to have an Investment Grade Rating from at least one
of the Rating Agencies, then the Covenant Suspension will end and the Company
and its Subsidiaries will again be subject to the Suspended Covenants (until at
least one of the Rating Agencies has again assigned an Investment Grade Rating
to the Securities). Compliance with the Suspended Covenants with respect to
Restricted Payments made after the time any Covenant Suspension ends will again
be calculated in accordance with the covenant described in Section 4.09 of this
Indenture as if such covenant had been in effect at all times after the date of
this Indenture.

SECTION 4.19      RULE 144A INFORMATION REQUIREMENT.

         If at any time the Company is no longer subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, it will furnish to the Holders or beneficial
holders of the Securities and prospective purchasers of the Securities
designated by the holders of the Securities, upon their request, any information
required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

SECTION 4.20      DESIGNATION OF UNRESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES AND SUBSIDIARIES.

         Subject to Section 11.05(b), the Board of Directors of the Company may
designate any Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if no Default or Event
of Default would occur or be continuing immediately after such designation and
taking into effect the designation. The Board of Directors may redesignate any
Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause
a Default or Event of Default as a result thereof; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be permitted to designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
Subsidiary unless, after giving pro forma effect to such designation (1) the
Company would be permitted to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under the
proviso in Section 4.08 (assuming a market rate of interest with

                                       64
<PAGE>

respect to such Indebtedness), and (2) all Indebtedness and Liens of such
Unrestricted Subsidiary would be permitted to be incurred by a Subsidiary of the
Company under this Indenture. After a redesignation of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary back to a Subsidiary, the Company may not thereafter designate such
Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

         If a Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all
outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries in the
Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time
of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments
under Section 4.09. All such outstanding Investments will be valued at their
fair market value at the time of such designation. That designation will only be
permitted if such Restricted Payment would be permitted at that time and if such
designated Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary.

transactions, merge or consolidate with or into, or sell, assign, convey,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
properties and assets as an entirety to, any Person or Persons, and the Company
will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any such transaction or
series of transactions if such transaction or series of transactions, in the
aggregate, would result in a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of
the Company or the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any other
Person or Persons, unless at the time of and after giving effect thereto:

                  (1)      either (A) if the transaction or series of
         transactions is a merger or consolidation, the Company shall be the
         surviving Person of such merger or consolidation, or (B) the Person
         formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or such
         Subsidiary is merged or to which the properties and assets of the
         Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, are transferred (any
         such surviving Person or transferee Person being the "Surviving
         Entity") shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws
         of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of
         Columbia and shall expressly assume by a supplemental indenture
         executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory
         to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of,
         premium, if any, and interest (including any Special Interest) on all

                  (2)      immediately before and immediately after giving
         effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma
         basis (including, without limitation, any Indebtedness incurred or

                  (3)      the Company, or the Surviving Entity, as the case may
         be, after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions
         on a pro forma basis (including, without limitation, any Indebtedness
         incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect
         of such transaction or series of transactions), could incur $1.00 of

         (assuming a market rate of interest with respect to such additional
         Indebtedness);

                  (4)      immediately after giving effect to such transaction
         or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including, without
         limitation, any Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in
         connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of
         transactions), the Consolidated Net Worth of the Company or the
         Surviving Entity, as the case may be, is at least equal to the
         Consolidated Net Worth of the Company immediately before such
         transaction or series of transactions; and

                  (5)      the Company or the Surviving Entity, as the case may
         be, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an
         Opinion of Counsel, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
         to the Trustee, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale,
         assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition and, if a
         supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction
         or series of transactions, such supplemental indenture, complies with
         this Indenture and that all conditions precedent herein provided for
         relating to such transaction or series of transactions have been
         complied with; provided, however, that, solely for purposes of
         computing amounts described in Section 4.09(a)(7), any such Surviving
         Entity shall only be deemed to have succeeded to and be substituted for
         the Company with respect to periods subsequent to the effective time of
         such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets.

SECTION 5.02      SUCCESSOR SUBSTITUTED.

         Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, conveyance,
transfer, lease or disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and
assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, in which the
Company is not the surviving corporation, the successor Person or Persons formed
by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the successor
Person to which such sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other
disposition is made, shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Securities
with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company herein;

succeeded to and be substituted for the Company with respect to periods
subsequent to the effective time of such merger, consolidation or transfer of
assets.

         Guarantee (other than Defaults specified in clause (1) or (2) above)
         and such Default continues for a period of 60 days after written notice
         of such Default requiring the Company to remedy the same shall have
         been given (A) to the Company by the Trustee, or (B) to the Company and
         the Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
         the Securities then outstanding;

                  (4)      default or defaults under one or more agreements,
         instruments, mortgages, bonds, debentures or other evidences of

         the Company then has outstanding Indebtedness in excess of $20,000,000,
         individually or in the aggregate, and either (A) such Indebtedness is
         already due and payable in full, or (B) such default or defaults have
         resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness;

                  (5)      one or more judgments, orders or decrees of any court
         or regulatory or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction for
         the payment of money in excess of $20,000,000, either individually or

         Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective
         properties and shall not be discharged or fully bonded and there shall
         have been a period of 60 days after the date on which any period for
         appeal has expired and during which a stay of enforcement of such
         judgment, order or decree, shall not be in effect;

                  (6)      either (A) the collateral agent under the Credit
         Agreement, or (B) any holder of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate

         ownership of any such assets in lieu of foreclosure;

                  (7)      any Guarantee issued by a Guarantor which is a
         Significant Subsidiary of the Company ceases to be in full force and
         effect or is declared null and void, or any such Guarantor denies that
         it has any further liability under any such Guarantee, or gives notice
         to such effect (other than by reason of the termination of the
         Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with
         Section 11.06) and such condition shall have continued for a period of
         60 days after written notice of such failure (which notice shall

         the same shall have been given (A) to the Company by the Trustee, or

         Company pursuant to or under or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy
         Law:

                           (A)      commences a voluntary case or proceeding,

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

                           (C)      consents to the appointment of a Custodian
                  of it or for all or substantially all of its property,

                           (D)      makes a general assignment for the benefit
                  of its creditors, or

                           (E)      shall generally not pay its debts when such
                  debts become due or shall admit in writing its inability to
                  pay its debts generally; or

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

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

         for 60 days.

         (b)      Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 7.02,
the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of
Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to a Trust Officer
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee by the Company, the Paying Agent,
any Holder, any holder of the requisite defaulted Indebtedness or any of their
respective agents.

SECTION 6.02      ACCELERATION.

         (a)      If an Event of Default (other than as specified in Section
6.01(a)(8) or Section 6.01(a)(9)) occurs and is continuing, (1) the Trustee, by
written notice to the Company, or (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by written notice to the
Trustee and the Company, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the outstanding Securities to be
due and payable immediately, upon which declaration, all amounts payable in
respect of the Securities shall be immediately due and payable; provided,
however, that so long as the Credit Agreement shall be in force and effect, if
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than an Event
of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(8) or Section 6.01(a)(9)), any such
acceleration shall not be effective until the earlier to occur of:

                  (A)      ten Business Days following delivery of a written
         notice of such acceleration to the Co-Agents under the Credit Agreement
         of the intention to accelerate the maturity of the Securities, or

                  (B)      the acceleration of the maturity of the Indebtedness
         under the Credit Agreement.

         (b)      If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(8) or
Section 6.01(a)(9) occurs and is continuing, then the principal of, premium, if
any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the outstanding
Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without
any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of
Securities.

         (c)      After a declaration of acceleration under this Indenture, but
before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by
the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind such declaration if:

                  (1)      the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a
         sum sufficient to pay (A) all amounts due the Trustee under Section
         7.08 and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
         advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, (B) all overdue
         interest on all Securities, (C) the principal of and premium, if any,
         on any Securities which have become due otherwise than by such
         declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by
         the Securities, and (D) to the extent that payment of such interest is
         lawful, interest (including any Special Interest) upon overdue interest
         and overdue principal which has become due otherwise than by such
         declaration of acceleration at the rate borne by the Securities;

                  (2)      the rescission would not conflict with any judgment
         or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

                  (3)      all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of
         principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including any Special
         Interest) on the Securities that has become due solely by such
         declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
         Section 6.04.

                                       69
<PAGE>

         (d)      No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or
Event of Default or impair any contingent right therein.

SECTION 6.03      OTHER REMEDIES.

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

         All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities
may be enforced by the Trustee even if it does not possess any of the Securities
or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the
Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event
of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or
acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other
remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.04      WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 6.07 and Section 9.02, the Holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Securities by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities, waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences,
except a Default or Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or Section
6.01(a)(2) or in respect of any covenant or provision hereof which cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder so affected pursuant to
Section 9.02. When a Default or Event of Default is so waived, it shall be
deemed cured and shall cease to exist.

SECTION 6.05      CONTROL BY MAJORITY.

         The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided, however,
that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction (a) that conflicts with any
rule of law or this Indenture, (b) that the Trustee determines may be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of another Securityholder, or (c) that may expose the
Trustee to personal liability unless the Trustee has been provided reasonable
indemnity against any loss or expense caused by its following such direction;
and provided further that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 6.06      LIMITATION ON SUITS.

         (a)      No Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute
any proceeding or pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Securities unless:

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

                                       70
<PAGE>

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

                  (3)      such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested,
         provide to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against any loss, liability
         or expense;

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

                  (5)      during such 30-day period the Holders of a majority
         in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities do not give
         the Trustee a direction which is inconsistent with the request.

         (b)      The foregoing limitations shall not apply to a suit instituted
by a Holder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of, premium, if any,
or accrued interest on, such Security on or after the respective due dates set
forth in such Security.

         (c)      A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of
any other Holders or to obtain priority or preference over such other Holders.

SECTION 6.07      RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.

         Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the right of any
Holder to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
such Security, on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such
Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
the respective Stated Maturities, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.08      COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.

         If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or Section
6.01(a)(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company, any Guarantor or
any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount of principal of,
premium, if any, and accrued interest (including any Special Interest) remaining
unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that
payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of
interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by the Securities 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 CLAIMS.

         The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents
as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and

                                       71
<PAGE>

counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the
Company or the Guarantors of the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities), their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and
empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in
any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.08. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize
the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding.

SECTION 6.12      RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

         If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce
any right or remedy under this Indenture, any Security or any Guarantee and such

determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such
case the Company, each Guarantor, if any, the Trustee and the Holders shall,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and

                                     TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01      DUTIES.

         (a)      In case 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:

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

                  (2)      in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee
         may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
         correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
         opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
         this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or
         opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be
         furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates
         and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the
         requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the
         accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts purported to be
         stated therein).

         (c)      No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

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

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

                                       73
<PAGE>

                  (3)      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.

         (d)      No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it.

         (e)      Whether or not expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to Section 7.01(a)
through Section 7.01(d).

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

SECTION 7.02      RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

         (a)      Subject to Section 7.01 hereof and the provisions of
TIA ss. 315:

                  (1)      The Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be
         protected in acting or refraining action upon, any document believed by
         it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
         Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in
         the document.

                  (2)      Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it
         may consult with counsel of its selection and may require an Officers'
         Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel, or both, which shall conform to
         Section 10.04 and Section 10.05. The Trustee shall not be liable for
         any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such
         certificate or opinion.

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

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

                  (5)      The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own
         choosing and the advice or any opinion of counsel as to matters of law
         shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability
         in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in
         good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of counsel.

                  (6)      The Trustee shall not be bound to make any
         investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request,
         direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document,
         but the Trustee, in its

                                       74
<PAGE>

         discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
         facts or matters as it may see fit.

                  (7)      The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
         any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
         request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the
         provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to
         the Trustee security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
         liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.

                  (8)      Unless otherwise specifically provided in this
         Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company
         shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.

                  (9)      The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
         any Default or Event of Default except (A) any Event of Default
         occurring pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b), or (B) any
         Event of Default of which a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have
         received written notification or otherwise obtained actual knowledge.

                  (10)     Whenever by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee
         shall be required to transmit notices or reports to any or all Holders,
         the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information provided by
         the Registrar as to the names and addresses of the Holders as being
         correct. If the Registrar is other than the Trustee, the Trustee shall
         not be responsible for the accuracy of such information.

                  (11)     The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and
         benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right
         to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the
         Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent,
         custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder;

         (b)      Subject to the above provisions, the Holders of not less than
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee under this Indenture.

SECTION 7.03      INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

         The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Registrar or any other agent of the
Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and, subject to Section 7.11 and Section 7.12 of this
Indenture and TIA ss.ss. 310 and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company and
its Subsidiaries and Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were
not the Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent. 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.

SECTION 7.04      TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER.

         The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representations
as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or the Securities (including
any Note or any Guarantee); it shall not be accountable for the Company's use or
application of the proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to the Company
or upon the Company's direction as provided for pursuant to 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 in the Securities or any other document in
connection with the sale of the Securities, other than the Trustee's certificate
of authentication.

         The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any
information in any offering memorandum or other disclosure material and shall
have no responsibility for compliance with applicable securities laws in
connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities.

SECTION 7.05      NOTICE OF DEFAULT.

         If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it
is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the
Default or Event of Default within 30 days after obtaining knowledge thereof;
provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default
in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including
Special Interest, if any) on any Security, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in
good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of
the Holders.

SECTION 7.06      MONEY HELD IN TRUST.

         All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as
herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received,
but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein
or by law. The Trustee shall not be under any liability for interest on any
moneys received by it hereunder, except as the Trustee may agree with the
Company.

SECTION 7.07      REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS.

         Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following
the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the
events described in TIA ss. 313(a) shall have occurred within the previous
twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of
such May 15 that complies with TIA ss. 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply
with TIA ss.ss. 313(b)(2) and 313(c).

         A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be
mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each securities exchange, if
any, on which the Securities are listed in accordance with TIA ss. 313(d).

                                       76
<PAGE>

         The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing if the Securities
become listed on any securities exchange or any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.08      COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY.

         The Company covenants and agrees to pay the Trustee from time to time
compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and the Trustee
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 upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it in
addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and
counsel and any taxes or other expenses incurred by a trust created pursuant to
Article 8 hereof.

         The Company and each Guarantor shall indemnify each of the Trustee and
any predecessor Trustee (in all capacities under this Indenture) and its
officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold it harmless against, any
and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses (including reasonable
compensation, fees, disbursements and expenses of Trustees' agents and counsel)
incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance of or the
administration of this trust and its rights or duties under this Indenture,
including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company
and defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (whether
asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person), except to the extent
any such loss, liability or expense is attributable to its gross negligence or
bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted
against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to
so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder. The Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of the claim,
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; provided, however, that if
such claim is made against both the Company and the Trustee and the Trustee
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
Company, the Trustee shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend
such claim on behalf of the Trustee. In the event that the Company assumes the
defense of the claim, the Company shall have no obligation to pay the fees and
expenses of separate counsel for the Trustee (except where the Trustee is
entitled to select separate counsel for the reason provided in the preceding
sentence) and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense of such claim. The
Company need not pay for any settlement made without its prior written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company need not reimburse
any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by
the Trustee through its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

         To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.08, the
Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all assets held or
collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except assets held in
trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Special
Interest) on particular Securities.

                                       77
<PAGE>

         When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(8) or Section 6.01(a)(9), the
expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expense
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 ss. 313(b)(2) to
the extent applicable.

         The Company's obligations under this Section 7.08 and any Lien arising
hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any trustee, the discharge
of the Company's obligations pursuant to Article 8 and/or the termination of
this Indenture.

SECTION 7.09      REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE.

         (a)      Resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.09.

         (b)      The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be
discharged from the trust created hereby by so notifying the Company. The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in
writing and may appoint a successor trustee with the Company's prior written
consent. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

                  (1)      the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.11;

                  (2)      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;

                  (3)      a receiver or other public officer takes charge of
         the Trustee or its property; or

                  (4)      the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

         (c)      If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall notify each Holder of
such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. The Trustee shall be
entitled to payment of its fees and reimbursement of its expenses while acting
as Trustee, and to the extent such amounts remain unpaid, the Trustee that has
resigned or has been removed shall retain the Lien afforded by Section 7.08.
Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may, with the
Company's prior written consent, appoint a successor Trustee to replace the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

         (d)      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. Promptly after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer
all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums
then owing to the Trustee hereunder have

                                       78
<PAGE>

been paid and subject to the Lien provided in Section 7.08. A successor Trustee
shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder.

         (e)      Subject to TIA ss. 310(b), if a successor Trustee does not
take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the
retiring Trustee (at the expense of the Company), the Company or the Holders of
at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

         (f)      If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder of the
Securities who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with
Section 7.11, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

         (g)      Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.09, the Company's obligations under Section 7.08 shall continue for
the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.10      SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC.

         If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers
all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation
or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation or national banking association without any further act shall, if
such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking
association is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee.

SECTION 7.11      ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION.

         There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state
thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power,
that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities
and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth
in its most recent published annual report of condition.

         This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA ss. 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA
ss. 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation
of TIA ss. 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities,
or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company
are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA ss.
310(b)(1) are met.

SECTION 7.12      PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.

         The Trustee is subject to TIA ss. 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA ss. 311(b). If the present or any future Trustee
shall resign or be removed, it shall be subject to TIA ss. 311(a) to the extent
provided therein.

SECTION 7.13      NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR RECORDING OR FILING.

         The Trustee shall be under no obligation to record or file a financing
statement (except for continuation statements) or any other instrument or
otherwise give to any Person notice thereof.

SECTION 7.14      NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSURANCE, TAXES OR OTHER ASSESSMENTS.

         The Trustee shall be under no obligation to pay, nor under any
obligation to cause the Company or any Guarantor to pay, any insurance, taxes or
other assessments on any Assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
irrespective of whether such Assets, at any time, secure the Indebtedness or
other obligations evidenced by the Securities.

                          LEGAL AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 8.01      TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATIONS.

         (a)      The Company and each Guarantor may terminate its obligations
under the Securities and this Indenture, except those obligations referred to in
Section 8.01(b), if:

                  (1)      either (A) all Securities previously authenticated
         and delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Securities which
         have been replaced or paid or Securities for whose payment money has
         theretofore been deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent in
         trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter
         repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in
         Section 8.04) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and
         the Company has paid all sums payable by it hereunder, or (B) either
         (i) pursuant to Article 3, the Company shall have given notice to the
         Trustee and mailed a notice of redemption to each Holder of the
         redemption of all of the Securities under arrangements satisfactory to
         the Trustee for the giving of such notice, or (ii) all Securities have
         otherwise become due and payable hereunder and the Company shall have
         irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee or a
         trustee reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the terms of an
         irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
         Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders
         for that purpose, money in such amount as is sufficient without
         consideration of reinvestment of such interest, to pay principal of,
         premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Securities to maturity
         or redemption, as certified in a certificate of a nationally recognized
         firm of independent public accountants; provided that the Trustee shall
         have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money to the payment of
         said principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the
         Securities;

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

<PAGE>

                  (3)      the Company shall have paid all other sums payable by
         it hereunder; and

                  (4)      the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (A)
         all conditions precedent providing for the termination of the Company's
         and any Guarantor's obligation under the Securities, this Indenture and
         any Guarantee have been complied with, and (B) such satisfaction and
         discharge will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
         default under, this Indenture or any material agreement or instrument
         to which the Company or a Guarantor is a party or by which the Company
         or a Guarantor is bound.

         (b)      Notwithstanding Section 8.01(a), the Company's obligations in
Section 2.06, Section 2.07, Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 2.18, Section
4.01, Section 4.02 and Section 7.08 and any Guarantor's obligations in respect
thereof shall survive until the Securities are no longer outstanding pursuant to
the last paragraph of Section 2.12. After the Securities are no longer
outstanding, the Company's obligations in Section 7.08, Section 8.05 and Section
8.06 and any Guarantor's obligations in respect thereof shall survive.

         (c)      After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee, upon
request, shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's and any
Guarantor's obligations under the Securities and this Indenture except for those
surviving obligations specified above.

SECTION 8.02      OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

         The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors, evidenced by
a Board Resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate of the Company, at any
time, with respect to the Securities, elect to have either Section 8.03 or
Section 8.04 below be applied to the outstanding Securities upon compliance with
the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

SECTION 8.03      LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.

         Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.02 of the option applicable
to this Section 8.03, the Company and any Guarantor shall, subject to
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05, be deemed to have been
released and discharged from its obligations with respect to the outstanding
Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, "legal defeasance"). For this purpose, legal defeasance means that
the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the
entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.06
below and the other Sections of and matters under this Indenture referred to in
(i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the
Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of
outstanding Securities to receive solely from the trust fund described in
Section 8.06 hereof and as more fully set forth in such Section 8.06, payments
in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Special
Interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due, (ii) the
Company's

                                       81
<PAGE>

obligations with respect to such Securities under Article 2 and Section 4.02,
and, with respect to the Trustee, under Section 7.08 and any Guarantor's
obligations in respect thereof, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Article 8. Subject to
compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 8.03 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.04
below with respect to the Securities.

SECTION 8.04      COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

         Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.02 of the option applicable
to this Section 8.04, the Company and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05, be released and
discharged from its obligations under any covenant contained in Article 5 and in
Section 4.07 through Section 4.16 and Section 4.18 with respect to the
outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and the Securities shall
thereafter be deemed to be not "outstanding" for the purpose of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
"outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant
defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities, the Company
and the Guarantors 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(c),
but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Securities shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise
under Section 8.02 of the option applicable to this Section 8.04, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof, Section
6.01(a)(1) through Section 6.01(a)(7) hereof shall not constitute Events of
Default.

SECTION 8.05      CONDITIONS TO LEGAL OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.

         (a)      The following shall be the conditions to application of either
Section 8.03 or Section 8.04 to the outstanding Securities. In order to exercise
either legal defeasance or covenant defeasance:

                  (1)      the Company shall irrevocably have deposited or
         caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying
         the requirements of Section 7.11 who shall agree to comply with the
         provisions of this Section 8.05 applicable to it) as trust funds in
         trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically
         pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the
         Holders of such Securities, (A) cash, in United States dollars, (B)
         direct non-callable obligations of, or non-callable obligations
         guaranteed by, the United States of America for the payment of which
         guarantee or obligation the full faith and credit of the United States
         is pledged ("U.S. Government Obligations") maturing as to principal,
         premium, if any, and interest in such amounts of cash, in United States
         dollars, and at such times as are sufficient without consideration of
         any reinvestment of such interest, to pay principal of, premium, if
         any, and interest on the outstanding Securities not later than one

                                       82
<PAGE>

         day before the due date of any payment, or (C) a combination thereof,
         as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
         of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
         thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge and which shall
         be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and
         discharge, principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including any
         Special Interest) on the outstanding Securities (except lost, stolen or
         destroyed Securities which have been replaced or repaid) on the Final
         Maturity Date or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this
         Indenture and of such Securities, and the Company shall specify whether
         the Notes are being defeased to maturity or a particular Redemption
         Date; provided, however, that the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee)
         shall have received an irrevocable written order from the Company
         instructing the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to apply such
         money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to said
         payments with respect to the Securities;

                  (2)      no Default or Event of Default or event which with
         notice or lapse of time or both would become a Default or an Event of
         Default with respect to the Securities shall have occurred and be
         continuing (A) on the date of such deposit, or (B) insofar as Section
         6.01(a) is concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st
         day after the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of
         Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness, all or a portion
         of which will be used to defease the Securities concurrently with such
         increase, it being understood that the condition set forth in this
         Section 8.05(2)(B) shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration
         of such period);

                  (3)      such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall
         not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest with respect to
         any securities of the Company or any Guarantor;

                  (4)      such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall
         not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default or
         Event of Default under, this Indenture (except with respect to the
         incurrence of Indebtedness described in clause (2) above) or any other
         material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor
         is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

                  (5)      in the case of an election under Section 8.03 above,
         the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
         stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been
         published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (B) since the
         date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable
         federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based
         thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding
         Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income
         tax purposes as a result of such 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;

                  (6)      in the case of an election under Section 8.04 above,
         the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
         to the effect that the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not
         recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a
         result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal
         income tax on

                                       83
<PAGE>

         the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would
         have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred;

                  (7)      the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (A)
         all conditions precedent provided for relating to either the legal
         defeasance under Section 8.03 above or the covenant defeasance under
         Section 8.04 above, as the case may be, have been complied with, and
         (B) if any other Indebtedness of the Company shall then be outstanding
         or committed, such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance will not
         violate the provisions of the agreements or instruments evidencing such
         Indebtedness; and

                  (8)      in the case of an election under either Section 8.03
         or Section 8.04, the Company also shall have delivered to the Trustee
         an Opinion of Counsel (which may be part of the opinion referred to in
         clause (7) above) covering the matters set forth below:

                           (A)      the trust funds will not be subject to any
                  rights of holders of Indebtedness of the Company, other than
                  the Securities,

                           (B)      assuming (i) no intervening bankruptcy of
                  the Company between the date of the deposit and the 90th day
                  following the deposit, and (ii) that no Holder of the
                  Securities is an "insider" of the Company or the Guarantors
                  within the meaning of applicable Bankruptcy Laws, then after
                  the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not
                  be subject to the effect of any applicable Bankruptcy Laws or
                  any other insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting
                  creditors' rights, and

                           (C)      assuming such trust funds remained in the
                  Trustee's possession prior to any court ruling described below
                  (to the extent not paid to Holders of Securities), (i) the
                  Trustee will hold, for the benefit of the Holders of
                  Securities, a valid and enforceable security interest in such
                  trust funds that is not avoidable in bankruptcy or otherwise,
                  subject only to principles of equitable subordination, (ii)
                  the Holders of Securities will be entitled to receive adequate
                  protection of their interests in such trust funds if such
                  trust funds are used, and (iii) no property, rights in
                  property or other interests granted to the Trustee or the
                  Holders of Securities in exchange for or with respect to any
                  of such funds will be subject to any prior rights of any other
                  Person, subject only to prior Liens granted under Section 364
                  of Title 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or any section of any
                  other Bankruptcy Law having the same effect), but still
                  subject to the foregoing clause (ii).

                  Except for the opinion described in the foregoing clauses 8(A)
         - 8(C), such Opinion of Counsel may also provide that if a court were
         to rule under any Bankruptcy Law in any case or proceeding that the
         trust funds remained property of the Company, no opinion need be given
         as to the effect of such Bankruptcy Laws on the trust funds.

         (b)      In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 8.05(a)
above, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, as and when applicable, comply
with the other provisions of this Article 8, including Section 8.06(b).

                                       84

SECTION 8.06      DEPOSITED MONEY AND CASH EQUIVALENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.

         (a)      Subject to Section 8.07, all money and U.S. Government
Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.06, the
"Trustee") pursuant to Section 8.05 above in respect of the outstanding
Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with
the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (other than the Company or any Affiliate of
the Company) at the written direction of the Company, to the Holders of such
Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal,
premium, if any, and interest (including any Special Interest), but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

         (b)      The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S.
Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal,
premium, if any, and interest (including any Special 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 Securities.

         (c)      Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the
request, in writing, by the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations
held by it as provided in Section 8.06 above which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the
amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an
equivalent legal defeasance or covenant defeasance.

SECTION 8.07      REPAYMENT TO COMPANY OR GUARANTORS.

         Subject to Section 7.08, any money deposited with the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including any Special Interest) on
any Securities and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal,
premium, if any, and interest (including any Special 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 Security
shall thereafter, as a general unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The Wall Street Journal
(national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a
date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 8.08      REINSTATEMENT.

         If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.03 or Section 8.04, as the
case may be, by reason of any legal

                                       85
<PAGE>

proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then
the Company's and each Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had been made
pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section 8.04 until such time as the Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations
in accordance with Section 8.03 or Section 8.04 hereof, as the case may be;
provided, however, that if the Company or a Guarantor has made any payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including any Special Interest) on
any Securities following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or
such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the
Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

                                   ARTICLE 9

         Guarantor's obligations to Holders of Securities in the case of a
         merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the
         assets of the Company or of such Guarantor;

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

                  (5)      to make any change that would provide any additional
         benefit or rights to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the
         rights of any Holder;

                  (6)      to provide for the issuance of Additional Securities
         in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of
         the date hereof;

                  (7)      to allow any Subsidiary to guarantee the Securities

         or more Guarantees.

         (b)      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

<PAGE>

receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b) hereof
stating that such amended or supplemental Indenture complies with this Section
9.01, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or
supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture
and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be
therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such
amended or supplemental Indenture that adversely affects its own rights, duties
or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

         (c)      Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee and the Company may not
make any change that adversely affects the rights of any Holder hereunder. The
Company shall be required to deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
stating that any such change made pursuant to this Section 9.01 does not
adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

SECTION 9.02      WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

         (a)      Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and
the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including Section 4.11 and
Section 4.12 hereof) and the Securities with the consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of each
series affected by such amendment or supplement (including Additional
Securities, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange
offer for, the Securities), and, subject to Section 6.04 and Section 6.07
hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any
provision of this Indenture or the Securities may be waived with the consent of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities
of each series affected by such amendment or supplement (including Additional
Securities, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with purchase of, a tender offer or exchange
offer for, the Securities). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Securities
are considered to be "outstanding" for purposes of this Section 9.02;

         (b)      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, if requested, upon the filing with the Trustee of
evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Securities
as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in
Section 7.02(b) hereof stating that any such amended or supplemental Indenture
complies with this Section 9.02, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the
execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or
supplemental Indenture adversely 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;

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

                                       87
<PAGE>

         (d)      After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section
9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Security
affected thereby, with a copy to the Trustee, 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 amendment, supplement or waiver;

         (e)      Subject to Section 6.04 and Section 6.07 hereof, the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series
affected thereby (including Additional Securities, if any) 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 Securities of such series.

         (f)      Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.02,
without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver, whether
under this Section 9.02 or a waiver under Section 6.04, may not (with respect to
any Securities held by a non-consenting Holder):

                  (1)      reduce the principal amount outstanding of, or extend
         the fixed maturity date of any Security or alter the provisions, or
         waive any payment, with respect to the redemption of the Securities;

                  (2)      change the currency in which any Security of any
         premium or the interest (including any Special Interest) is payable or
         make the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including any
         Special Interest) on any Security payable in money other than that
         stated in the Security;

                  (3)      reduce the percentage in outstanding aggregate
         principal amount of Securities the Holders of which must (A) consent to
         an amendment, supplement or waiver, or (B) consent to take any other
         action under this Indenture, any Guarantee or the Securities;

                  (4)      impair the right to institute suit for the
         enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Securities;

                  (5)      waive a default in the payment of the principal of,
         premium, if any, or interest (including any Special Interest) on any
         Security, or with respect to redemption of or an offer to purchase any
         Security;

                  (6)      amend, change or modify the obligations of the
         Company to make and consummate the required offers with respect to any
         Asset Sale Offer or Change of Control Offer or modify any of the
         provisions or definitions with respect to Asset Sale Offers or Change
         of Control Offers;

                  (7)      reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of
         interest on any Security.

                  (8)      amend, change or modify the Indenture in any manner
         that affects the priority of payment and ranking of the Securities in
         any manner adverse to the Holders of the Securities; or

                                       88
<PAGE>

                  (9)      release any Guarantor from any of its obligations
         under its Guarantee or this Indenture other than in compliance with the
         terms of this Indenture, including Section 11.07;

                  (10)     amend, change or modify this Section 9.02 or Section
         6.04.

SECTION 9.03      COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

         Every amendment of or supplement to this Indenture, any Guarantee or
the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04      REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.

         Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent
to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by such Holder and every subsequent
Holder of that Security or portion of that Security that evidences the same debt
as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent is not made
on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the
consent as to his Security or portion of a Security (but not in amounts less
than the minimum denominations in which a Security may be issued) prior to such
amendment, supplement or waiver becoming effective. Such revocation shall be
effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date
the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. Notwithstanding the
above, nothing in this paragraph shall impair the right of any Holder under ss.
316(b) of the TIA.

         The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for
the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the second
and third sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who
were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only
those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or
waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons
continue to be Holders after such record date. Such consent shall be effective
only for actions taken within 90 days after such record date.

         After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall
bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1)
through (11) of Section 9.02(e); if it makes such a change, the amendment,
supplement or waiver shall bind every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion
of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security.

SECTION 9.05      NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES.

         The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment,
supplement or waiver on any Security authenticated after such amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective. If an amendment, supplement or waiver
changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may (or, in accordance with the
specific request of the Company shall, at Company's expense) request the Holder
of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee shall (in accordance
with the specific direction of the Company) place an appropriate notation on the
Security about the changed terms and

                                       89
<PAGE>

return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so
determines, the Company, in exchange for all the Securities, shall issue and the
Trustee shall authenticate new Securities that reflect the amendment, supplement
or waiver.

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

SECTION 9.06      TRUSTEE AND COMPANY TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.

         The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized
pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment,
supplement or waiver which adversely affects the Trustee's rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Company and any Guarantor may
not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until their respective Boards of
Directors approves it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment, supplement
or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 11,
an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
any amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith and that it will be valid and
binding upon the Company in accordance with its terms. In signing any amendment,
supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 10.01     TRUST INDENTURE ACT CONTROLS.

required to be a part of this Indenture, and shall, to the extent applicable, be

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

SECTION 10.04     CERTIFICATE AND OPINION AS TO CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

         in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied
         with);

                  (2)      an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance
         reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which shall include the

         Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition
or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than a certificate provided

<PAGE>
         The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of
Holders. The Paying Agent or Registrar may make reasonable rules for its
functions.

SECTION 10.07     GOVERNING LAW.

         THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO
CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES 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.

SECTION 10.08     NO INTERPRETATION OF OTHER AGREEMENTS.

         This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture or loan
or debt agreement of the Company, any Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries. Any
such indenture or loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this
Indenture. All agreements of each Guarantor in this Indenture shall bind its
successors, except as otherwise provided in Article 11.

SECTION 10.09     NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.

         A director, officer, employee, stockholder or Affiliate, as such, of
the Company or any Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of
the Company under the Securities or this Indenture, or for any obligations of a
Guarantor under any Guarantee, or for any claim based on, in respect of or by
reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a
Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part
of the consideration for issuance of the Securities. Such waiver may not be
effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the
view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

SECTION 10.10     SUCCESSORS.

         All agreements of the Company and any Guarantor in this Indenture and
the Securities and the Guarantees shall bind its successors except as otherwise
provided herein. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its
successors.

SECTION 10.11     DUPLICATE ORIGINALS.

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

SECTION 10.12     SEVERABILITY.

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

                                       93
<PAGE>

in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and a Holder shall have no claim
therefor against any party hereto.

SECTION 10.13     TABLE OF CONTENTS, HEADINGS, ETC.

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

SECTION 10.14     BENEFITS OF INDENTURE.

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

                                   ARTICLE 11
                             GUARANTEE OF SECURITIES

SECTION 11.01     GUARANTEE.

         Subject to the provisions of this Article 11, each Guarantor hereby
jointly and severally unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security
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 Securities or the obligations of the Company or any other Guarantors to the
Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest (including any Special Interest) on the Securities
will be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and
(to the extent permitted by law), and all payment and other obligations of the
Company or the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee or its agents hereunder
or thereunder (including fees, expenses or other) 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 Securities, the 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,
redemption 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, or to perform or cause the performance
of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the
Securities shall constitute an event of default under this Guarantee, and shall
entitle the Holders of Securities to accelerate the obligations of the
Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the
obligations of the Company. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of
payment and not a guarantee of collection.

         Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder
shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any holder of the Securities with
respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor,
the recovery of any

                                       94
<PAGE>

judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a
Guarantee is affixed to any particular Security, or any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or of any other Guarantor, any right to
require a proceeding first against the Company or of any other Guarantor,
protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee
shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations
contained in the Securities, this Indenture and this Guarantee.

         If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to
return to the Company or to any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator
or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor,
any amount paid by the Company or Guarantor, to the Trustee or such Holder, this
Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full
force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one
hand, and the Holders of Securities and the Trustee, on the other hand, subject
to this Article 11, (a) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the
event of any 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 Guarantee.

         This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be
effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation
or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for
the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or
any significant part of the Company's assets, and shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment and performance of the Securities are, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or
returned by any obligee on the Securities, whether as a "voidable preference,"
"fraudulent transfer" or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance
had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount
paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

SECTION 11.02     LIMITATION ON GUARANTOR LIABILITY; CONTRIBUTION.

         Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder,
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee
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 Guarantee. 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
contributions from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other

                                       95
<PAGE>

Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor
under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

         To the extent necessary to effect the foregoing, the Guarantee of each
Guarantor is limited to an amount that would not render such Guarantor
insolvent. The Guarantee of any Guarantor, and this Section 11.02 as applicable
to any Guarantor, may be modified, without the consent of the Holders, to
reflect such further fraudulent conveyance savings provisions, net worth or
maximum amount limitations as to recourse or similar provisions as are set forth
in, and after giving effect to, any guarantee of such Guarantor issued under the
Credit Agreement and shall be required to be modified in the same manner as such
guarantee under the Credit Agreement is amended or modified; provided that no
such amendment or modification to thereafter conform to the Credit Agreement
shall be in a manner which is adverse to the Holders in any respect. No
modification or amendment referred to in the preceding sentence shall be
permitted if it would disadvantage the Holders relative to the holders of the
obligations of such Guarantor under the Credit Agreement other than by any
Permitted Liens. Any amendment or modification pursuant to this Section 11.02
shall comply with the provisions of Article 9.

         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 Trustee or the Holders under this Guarantee.

SECTION 11.03     NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF CERTAIN PERSONS.

         No stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator, past,
present or future, of any Guarantor, as such, shall have any personal liability
under this Guarantee by reason of his, her or its status as such stockholder,
officer, director, employer or incorporator.

SECTION 11.04     EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF GUARANTEE.

         To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each
Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee, substantially in the
form included in Exhibit D hereto, shall be endorsed on each Security
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee after such Guarantee is executed by
the Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of an Officer of each
Guarantor (who also may be an Officer of the Company or one or more other
Guarantors). The validity and enforceability of any Guarantee shall not be
affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Security.

         Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in
Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure
to endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantee.

         If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a
Security or Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee
authenticates such Security or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor's
Guarantee of such Security shall be valid nevertheless.

                                       96
<PAGE>

         The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication
thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee set forth in
this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

SECTION 11.05     ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS.

         (a)      Any Person may become a Guarantor by executing and delivering
to the Trustee (1) a supplemental indenture evidencing such Guarantor's
Guarantee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which
subjects such Person to the provisions of this Indenture as a Guarantor, and (2)
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been
duly authorized and executed by such Person and constitutes the legal, valid,
binding and enforceable obligation of such Person (subject to such customary
exceptions concerning fraudulent conveyance laws, creditors' rights and
equitable principles as may be acceptable to the Trustee in its discretion).

         (b)      If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acquires or forms a
Material U.S. Subsidiary (other than a Securitization Subsidiary) or if any
Subsidiary of the Company shall become a Material U.S. Subsidiary (other than a
Securitization Subsidiary), the Company will cause any such Subsidiary to (1)
execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such
Subsidiary shall guarantee all of the obligations of the Company with respect to
the Securities issued under this Indenture on a senior joint and several basis
in substantially the same manner and to the same extent set forth in this
Article 11, and (2) deliver to such Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Trustee to the effect that a supplemental indenture has
been duly executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary is in
compliance with the terms of the Indenture; provided, however, this requirement
shall not apply to any Securitization Subsidiary.

SECTION 11.06     GUARANTORS MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ON CERTAIN TERMS.

         (a)      No Guarantor may merge or consolidate with or into (whether or
not such Guarantor is the Surviving Entity), sell, assign, convey, transfer,
lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and
assets, as an entirety, to any Person or Persons, other than the Company or
another Guarantor, unless: (1) immediately after giving effect to that
transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (2) either: (A) the
Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person
formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the
obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Guarantee and the
Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory
to the Trustee, or (B) the Guarantor is released pursuant to Section 11.07 and
such sale or other disposition complies with Section 4.12 of this Indenture,
including the application of any Excess Proceeds therefrom,

         (b)      In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance,
if the Surviving Entity is not an existing Guarantor, the Surviving Entity shall
succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it
had been named herein as a Guarantor and such Surviving Entity shall, unless
released pursuant to Section 11.07, execute and deliver a supplemental indenture
to the Trustee evidencing such Surviving Entity's Guarantee. Any Guarantee
signed or delivered by the Surviving Entity shall in all respects have the same
legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as

                                       97
<PAGE>

the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture as though all of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of
the execution hereof.

         (c)      Except as set forth in Article 4 and Article 5 of this
Indenture, 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 11.07     RELEASE OF A GUARANTOR.

         (a)      Upon the sale or disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a
Guarantor by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, or upon the
consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into any Person (in each case,
other than to, with or into, as the case may be, the Company or an Affiliate of
the Company), such Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally
released and discharged from all obligations under this Article 11 without any
further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder; provided,
however, that each such Guarantor is sold or disposed of in a transaction which
does not violate Section 4.12 and Section 11.06 hereof.

         (b)      The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing
the release of a Guarantor upon receipt of a request of the Company accompanied
by an Officers' Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this Section
11.07. Any Guarantor not so released or the entity surviving such Guarantor, as
applicable, will remain or be liable under its Guarantee as provided in this
Article 11.

         (c)      The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested
by the Company or a Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor
from its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Securities and under
this Article 11.

SECTION 11.08     WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.

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

                                       98
<PAGE>

financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set
forth in this Section 11.08 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

         This Section 11.08 as applicable to any particular Guarantor may be
amended or modified, without the consent of the Holders, in a manner to be
consistent with the terms of any waiver of subrogation language set forth in any
guarantee of such Guarantor issued under the Credit Agreement or other guarantee
of such Guarantor and shall be required to be modified in the same manner as
such guarantee under the Credit Agreement is amended or modified; provided that
no such amendment or modification to thereafter conform to the Credit Agreement
or other guarantee of such Guarantor shall be in a manner which is adverse to
the Holders in any respect. No modification or amendment referred to in the
preceding sentence shall be permitted if it would disadvantage the Holders
relative to the lenders under the Credit Agreement or to the holders of other
obligations of the Guarantor or other guarantee of such Guarantor other than by
operation of the subordination provisions of this Article 11 and any Permitted
Liens. Any amendment or modification to this Section 11.08 shall comply with the
provisions of Article 9.

SECTION 11.09     NO IMPAIRMENT OF RIGHT TO PAYMENT.

         Nothing contained in this Article 11 (other than a release pursuant to
Section 11.07) or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended
to or shall (a) impair, as among each Guarantor and its creditors other than the
Holders of the Securities, the obligation of such Guarantor, which is absolute
and unconditional, to make payments to the Holders in respect of its obligations
under this Guarantee as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against such
Guarantor of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of such Guarantor; or
(c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all
remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon Default or an Event of
Default under this Indenture.

         The failure by any Guarantor to make a payment in respect of its
obligations under this Guarantee by reason of any provision of this Article 11
shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default hereunder.

SECTION 11.10     RELIANCE ON JUDICIAL ORDER OR CERTIFICATE OF LIQUIDATING AGENT
                  REGARDING DISSOLUTION, ETC., OF GUARANTORS.

         Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor referred to
in this Article 11, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, and
the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any
court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy,
receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding-up or similar
case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy,
receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the
Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled
to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of other
Indebtedness of such Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the
amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent
thereto or to this Article 11.

                                       99

SECTION 11.11     RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AS A HOLDER OF GUARANTOR INDEBTEDNESS;
                  PRESERVATION OF TRUSTEE'S RIGHTS.

         The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the
rights set forth in this Article 11 with respect to any Indebtedness of any
Guarantor which may at any time be held by the Trustee, to the same extent as
any other holder of such Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall
deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article
11 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to
Section 7.08.

SECTION 11.12     APPLICABLE TO PAYING AGENTS.

         In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have
been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee"
as used in this Article 11 shall in such case (unless the context otherwise
requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within
its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were
named in this Article 11 in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided,
however, that Section 11.11 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of
the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

SECTION 11.13     NO SUSPENSION OF REMEDIES.

         Nothing contained in this Article 11 shall limit the right of the
Trustee or the Holders of Securities to take any action to accelerate the
maturity of the Securities pursuant to Article 6 or to pursue any rights or
remedies hereunder or under applicable law.

         Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them
in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. Unless the
context expressly otherwise requires, all references herein to the "Notes"
includes any Additional Notes issued under the Indenture.

         (1)      Interest. Interface, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at
10.375% per annum from the date hereof until maturity and shall pay the Special
Interest to the extent payable pursuant to Section 2(d) of the

                                      A-5
<PAGE>

Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company shall pay interest
semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, or if any such day is not
a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an "Interest Payment
Date"). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of
issuance; provided 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 August 1, 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 equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the
extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and
Special Interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to
time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

         (2)      Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes
at the close of business on January 15 or July 15 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 shall be payable as to
principal, premium, if any, and interest (including any Special 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 Special Interest 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 same day funds shall be required with respect to principal,
interest, premium, if any, and interest (including any Special Interest) on all
Global Notes. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts.

         (3)      Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, First Union National
Bank, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall 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 January 17, 2002 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the Guarantors
and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture
and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended. 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. This
Note is an obligation of the Company and is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company in aggregate principal amount of

                                      A-6
<PAGE>

$175 million on the initial Issue Date. The Indenture pursuant to which this
Note is issued provides that Additional Notes may be issued thereunder, subject
to compliance with the terms of the Indenture.

         (5)      Optional Redemption.

                  (a)      At any time prior to February 1, 2005, the Company
         may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the sum of (i) the
         aggregate principal amount of Notes issued on the Issue Date
         (including, without duplication, any Exchange Notes), and (ii) each
         initial aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes issued prior
         to such date (including, without limitation, any Exchange Notes) at a
         redemption price of 110.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus
         accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the
         Redemption Date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Public
         Equity Offerings; provided that:

                           (i)      at least 65% of the sum of (x) the aggregate
                  principal amount of Notes issued on the Issue Date (including,
                  without limitation, any Exchange Notes), and (y) each initial
                  aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes issued on
                  the applicable issue date for such Additional Notes
                  (including, without limitation, any Exchange Notes with
                  respect to such Additional Notes) remains outstanding
                  immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding
                  Notes held by the Company or its Subsidiaries); and

                           (ii)     the redemption must occur within 180 days of
                  the date of the closing of such Public Equity Offering.

                  (b)      The Notes also will be redeemable, in whole or in
         part, at the option of the Company at any time or from time to time
         upon not less than 30 days' nor more than 60 days' notice, at a
         Redemption Price equal to the greater of:

                           (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be
                  redeemed; or

                           (ii)     the sum of the present values of the
                  Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) discounted, on
                  a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
                  twelve 30-day months), at the Treasury Rate (as defined below)
                  plus 50 basis points

         plus, in the case of each of clause (i) or (ii) immediately above,
         accrued interest (including any Special Interest) to the Redemption
         Date. The following definitions apply for purposes of this provision:

         "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate
per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of
the second business day immediately preceding such Redemption Date) of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

                                      A-7
<PAGE>

         "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the fixed rate United States Treasury
security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity most
comparable to the remaining term of the Notes (and which are not callable prior
to maturity) to be redeemed that would be utilized, as of the time of selection
and in accordance with customary financial practices, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the
Notes. "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury
Dealers appointed by the Company.

         "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
(i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third
business day preceding such Redemption Date, as set forth in the daily
statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S.
Government Securities", or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is
not published or does not contain such prices on such business day, the average
of all the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

         "Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and
First Union Securities, Inc. and their respective successors; provided, however,
that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government
securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), the Company
shall substitute therefor another nationally recognized investment banking firm
that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.

         "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by
the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York
City time on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

         "Remaining Scheduled Payments" means, with respect to each Note to be
redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest
thereon that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such
redemption; provided, however, that if such Redemption Date is not an interest
payment date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next succeeding
scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest
accrued thereon to such Redemption Date.

                  (c)      Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the
         Notes will not be redeemable at the Company's option prior to maturity.

         (6)      Repurchase at Option of Holder.

                  (a)      If a Change of Control occurs, the Company is
         obligated to offer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an
         integral multiple thereof) of a Holder's

                                      A-8
<PAGE>

         Notes and Additional Notes, if any, pursuant to a Change of Control
         Offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture. In the Change of Control
         Offer, the Company will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal
         to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Additional
         Notes, if any, repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including
         Special Interest), if any, thereon, to the date of purchase. Within 30
         days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to
         each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute
         the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes and Additional
         Notes, if any, on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in such
         notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than
         60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures
         required by the Indenture and described in such notice.

                  (b)      When the Company or a Subsidiary consummates Asset
         Sales and the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds with respect thereto
         exceeds $15.0 million, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all
         Holders of Notes and Additional Notes, if any, and all holders of other
         Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes, which contain
         provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to
         offers to purchase with the proceeds of sales of assets ("Tenderable
         Indebtedness"), to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and
         Additional Notes, if any, and such other Tenderable Indebtedness, that
         may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any
         Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued
         and unpaid interest (including Special Interest), if any, to the date
         of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain
         after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such
         Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the
         Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other
         Tenderable Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the
         amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and
         Additional Notes, if any, and such other Tenderable Indebtedness to be
         purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes
         and Additional Notes and such other Tenderable Indebtedness tendered.

         (7)      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 the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or during
the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

                                      A-9
<PAGE>

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

         (9)      Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class and any
existing Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes
may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single
class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes
may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency,
to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated
Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company's or any Guarantor's
obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation or sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or of such Guarantor,
to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the
Holders of 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 Issuance of Additional Notes in accordance
with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, or to allow any Subsidiary to
guarantee the Notes.

         (10)     Special Interest, Defaults and Remedies.

                  (a)      Events of Default include: (1) default in the payment
         of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Notes when the
         same becomes due and payable (upon Stated Maturity, acceleration,
         optional redemption, required purchase, scheduled principal payment or
         otherwise); or (2) default in the payment of an installment of interest
         on any of the Notes, when the same becomes due and payable, which
         default continues for a period of 30 days; or (3) failure to perform or
         observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the Notes,
         the Indenture or any Guarantee (other than a default specified in
         clause (1) or (2) above) and such default continues for a period of 60
         days after written notice of such default shall have been given to the
         Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by holders of
         at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
         outstanding; or (4) default or defaults under one or more agreements,
         instruments, mortgages, bonds, debentures or other evidences of
         Indebtedness under which the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of
         the Company then has outstanding Indebtedness in excess of $20,000,000,
         individually or in the aggregate, and either (a) such Indebtedness is
         already due and payable in full or (b) such default or defaults have
         resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness; or
         (5) one or more judgments, orders or decrees of any court or regulatory
         or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction for the payment of
         money in excess of $20,000,000, either individually or in the
         aggregate, shall be entered against the Company or any Significant
         Subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective properties and
         shall not be discharged or fully bonded and there shall have been a
         period of 60 days after the date on which any period for appeal has
         expired and during which a

                                      A-10
<PAGE>

         stay of enforcement of such judgment, order or decree shall not be in
         effect; or (6) either (a) the collateral agent under the Credit
         Agreement, or (b) any holder of at least $20,000,000 in aggregate
         principal amount of Indebtedness of the Company or any of its
         Significant Subsidiaries shall commence judicial proceedings to
         foreclose upon assets of the Company or any of its Significant
         Subsidiaries having an aggregate Fair Market Value, individually or in
         the aggregate, in excess of $20,000,000 or shall have exercised any
         right under applicable law or applicable security documents to take
         ownership of any such assets in lieu of foreclosure; or (7) any
         Guarantee issued by a Guarantor which is a Significant Subsidiary of
         the Company ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null
         and void, or any such Guarantor denies that it has any further
         liability under any such Guarantee or gives notice to such effect
         (other than by reason of the termination of the Indenture or the
         release of any such Guarantee in accordance with the Indenture) and
         such condition shall have continued for a period of 60 days after
         written notice of such failure (which notice shall specify the Default,
         demand that it be remedied and state that it is a "Notice of Default")
         requiring such Guarantor and the Company to remedy the same shall have
         been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the
         Trustee by holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
         Notes then outstanding; or (8) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency
         or reorganization with respect to the Company or any Significant
         Subsidiary of the Company shall have occurred.

                  (b)      In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the
         Notes because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a
         result of the acceleration of any Indebtedness described in clause
         10(a)3 above, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be
         automatically annulled if the holders of any Indebtedness described in
         clause 10(a)3 above have rescinded the declaration of acceleration in
         respect of such Indebtedness within 30 days of the date of such
         declaration and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of Notes would
         not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent
         jurisdiction, and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment
         of principal or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of
         the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. Except as
         provided in the following sentence, 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 principal,
         premium, if any, and accrued interest (including Special Interest), if
         any, of the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding
         the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain
         events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Company or any
         of its Subsidiaries, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable
         without further action or notice.

                  (c)      Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or
         the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. 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 the principal of, premium of, interest (including
         Special Interest), if any, or interest on, the Notes

                                      A-11
<PAGE>

         (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or in respect of a
         covenant or provision under the Indenture which cannot be modified or
         amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note outstanding
         (provided, however, that the holders of a majority in aggregate
         principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration
         and its consequences, including any related payment default that
         resulted from such acceleration). 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.

         (11)     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.

         (12)     No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee,
incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any of the Guarantors, as such,
shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or such Guarantor
under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of
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. Such waiver may
not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws, and it
is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

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

         (14)     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).

         (15)     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 Series A Restricted Global Notes and
Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of January 17, 2002, among the Company,
the Guarantors named therein and the other parties named on the signature pages
thereof or, in the case of any series of Additional Notes, Holders of an
applicable series of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes
shall have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements,
if any, between the Company and the other parties thereto, relating to rights
given by the Company to the purchasers of such series of Additional Notes
(collectively, the "Registration Rights Agreement").

         (16)     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

                                      A-12
<PAGE>

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 shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and
without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement.
Requests may be made to:

                  Re: 10.375% Senior Notes due 2010

         Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, dated as of January 17, 2002
(the "Indenture"), between Interface, Inc., as issuer (the "Company"), and
certain Subsidiaries of the Company as Guarantors, First Union National Bank, as
trustee. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
given to them in the Indenture.

         ______________ (the "Transferor") owns and proposes to transfer the
Note[s] or interest in such Note[s] specified in Annex A hereto, in the

Subsidiary signatory hereto, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee,
on the other hand, (x) the maturity of

                                      E-2
<PAGE>

the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of
the Indenture for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any 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 each Guaranteeing Subsidiary for the purpose of this Guarantee.

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

                  (i)      Pursuant to Section 10.02 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 the Company and
any of the other Guarantors, the rights of each Guaranteeing Subsidiary
signatory hereto to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf
of any other Guarantor (including any other Guaranteeing Subsidiary) in respect
of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture
shall result in the obligations of each Guaranteeing Subsidiary under its
Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

         3.       Execution and Delivery.

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

         4.       Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms.

         (a)      No Guarantor may merge or consolidate with or into (whether or
not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), sell, assign, convey, transfer,
lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and
assets, as an entirety, to any Person or Persons, other than the Company or
another Guarantor, unless:

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

                  (2)      either:

                           (A)      the Person acquiring the property in any
         such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
         consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor
         under this Indenture, its Guarantee and the Registration Rights
         Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the
         Trustee, or

                           (B)      the Guarantor is released pursuant to
         Section 11.07 and such sale or other disposition complies with Section
         4.12 of the Indenture, including the application of the Excess Proceeds
         therefrom.

                                      E-3
<PAGE>

         (b)      In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance
and upon the assumption by the successor corporation, by supplemental indenture,
executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee,
of the Guarantee 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 corporation 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 corporation thereupon may cause to be signed any or
all of the Guarantees 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 the Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal
rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and
thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all
of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

         (c)      Except as set forth in Article 4 and Article 5 of the
Indenture, 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.

         5.       Release of a Guarantor.

         (a)      Upon the sale or disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a
Guarantor by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, or upon the
consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into any Person (in each case,
other than to, with or into, as the case may be, the Company or an Affiliate of
the Company), such Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally
released and discharged from all obligations under Article 11 of the Indenture
without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder;
provided, however, that each such Guarantor is sold or disposed of in a
transaction which does not violate Section 4.12 and Section 11.06 of the
Indenture;

         (b)      The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing
the release of a Guarantor upon receipt of a request of the Company accompanied
by an Officers' Certificate certifying as to the compliance with Section 11.06
of the Indenture. Any Guarantor not so released or the entity surviving such
Guarantor, as applicable, will remain or be liable under its Guarantee as
provided in Article 11 of the Indenture.

         The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the
Company or a Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from
its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Securities and under Article
11 of the Indenture.

         6.       No Recourse Against Others.

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

                                      E-4

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. Such waiver may not be effective to
waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the
SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

         7.       Governing Law.

         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 only and shall not
affect the construction hereof.

         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 each Guarantor signatory thereto and the Company.
