Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio":

     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

     determined on a fluctuating  basis,  to the extent such interest is covered
     by  agreements  relating to Interest Swap  Obligations,  shall be deemed to
     accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation
     of such agreements.

          "Consolidated Fixed Charges" means, with respect to any Person for any
period, the sum, without duplication, of:

          (1) Consolidated Interest Expense; plus

     during such period times (y) a fraction,  the numerator of which is one and
     the  denominator  of  which  is  one  minus  the  then  current   effective

          "Consolidated Net Income" means,  with respect to any Person,  for any
period,  the  aggregate  net income (or loss) of such Person and its  Restricted

          (5) the net income (but not loss) of any Restricted  Subsidiary of the
     referent  Person to the extent that the declaration of dividends or similar

     Restricted  Subsidiary is able despite any such  restriction  to distribute
     income  or  otherwise  transfer  cash to the  referent  Person by way of an
     intercompany loan or otherwise,  then such income or cash, to the extent of

authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may,
at its sole  option,  by or  pursuant  to a Board  Resolution,  fix in advance a
record date for the  determination  of Holders  entitled  to give such  request,
demand, authorization,  direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed,  such
request, demand, authorization,  direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act
may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at
the close of  business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the
purposes  of  determining  whether  Holders  of  the  requisite   proportion  of
outstanding  securities  have authorized or agreed or consented to such request,
demand, authorization,  direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for
that  purpose  the  outstanding  securities  shall be computed as of such record
date.

          The provisions of the "Operating  Procedures of the Euroclear  System"
and "Terms and  Conditions  Governing Use of Euroclear"  and "General  Terms and
Conditions of Clearstream" and the "Customer  Handbook" of Clearstream  shall be
applicable  to interests in the Global Notes that are held through  participants
through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.2.      Execution and Authentication.

          Two  Officers of the  Company  shall sign the Notes for the Company by
manual or facsimile  signature.  The seal of the Company  shall be reproduced on
the Notes and may be in facsimile form.

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

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

          The  Trustee,  upon a  written  order  of the  Company  signed  by two
Officers of the Company,  together with the other documents required by Sections
13.4 and 13.5 of this  Indenture,  shall  authenticate  (i)  Series A Notes  for
original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed
(euro)400,000,000 and (ii) subject to Section 4.9, Additional Notes which may be
issued from time to time  pursuant to Section  2.16.  The Trustee,  upon written
order of the Company  signed by two Officers of the Company,  together  with the
other documents required by Sections 13.4 and 13.5, shall authenticate  Series B
Notes;  provided  that such Series B Notes shall be issuable only upon the valid
surrender  for  cancellation  of  Series A Notes of a like  aggregate  principal
amount in accordance  with the Exchange Offer or an exchange offer  specified in
any registration rights agreement relating to the Additional Notes. Such written
order of the Company shall specify the amount of Notes to be  authenticated  and
the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and, in the
case of Additional  Notes issued  pursuant to Section  2.16,  such written order
shall  certify that such  issuance is not  prohibited  under Section 4.9 of this
Indenture.  Any  Additional  Notes  shall be part of the same issue as the Notes
being  issued on the Issue  Date and will vote on all  matters as one class with
the Notes  being  issued  on the  Issue  Date,  including,  without  limitation,
waivers,  amendments,  redemptions,  Change of Control  Offers and Net  Proceeds
Offers. For the purposes of this Indenture,  except for Section 4.9,  references
to the Notes include Additional Notes, if any.

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

Section 2.3.      Registrar and Paying Agent.

          The  Company  shall  maintain  an office or agency in the  Borough  of
Manhattan,  The City of New York,  in London,  England and, so long as the Notes
are admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules
of such  stock  exchange  so  require,  in  Luxembourg  where  (a)  Notes may be
presented for  registration  of transfer or for exchange  ("Registrar")  and (b)
Notes may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent").  The Registrar shall keep a
register of the Notes and of their  transfer and exchange.  At the option of the
Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest may be made by check mailed
to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, provided
that payment by wire transfer of  immediately  available  funds will be required
with respect to principal,  Redemption Price and Purchase Price of, and interest
and  Additional  Interest  (if any) on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the
Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer  instructions  to the Trustee
or the Paying Agent. 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
Paying 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 may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Depositary shall, by
acceptance of a Global Note,  agree that  transfers of  beneficial  interests in
such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry  system maintained by
the Depositary (or its agent).

          The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar (acting as the
Company's  agent for this purpose) and Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York,  the  Trustee as  Registrar  and  Paying  Agent in London,
England  and so long as the  Notes  are  admitted  to the  Official  List of the
Luxembourg  Stock  Exchange  and so long as the  rules of the  Luxembourg  Stock
Exchange so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent and Transfer Agent
in Luxembourg (the  "Luxembourg  Paying  Agent").  The Company also appoints the
Trustee to act as Common  Depository  with  respect to the Global  Notes and the
Registrar  as  Transfer  Agent in the event the Notes are  issued in  definitive
registered form.

Section 2.4.      Paying Agents to Hold Money in Trust.

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

Section 2.5.      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 and shall  otherwise  comply with TIA ss. 312(a).  If the Trustee is
not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish (or cause the Registrar to furnish)
to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days before each interest payment date
and at such other times as the  Trustee  may request in writing,  a list in such
form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably  require of the names and
addresses of the Holders of Notes,  and the Company shall otherwise  comply with
TIA ss. 312(a).

Section 2.6.      Transfer and Exchange.

          (1) Transfer  and  Exchange  Generally;  Book Entry  Provisions.  Upon
surrender  for  registration  of  transfer  of any  Note to the  Registrar,  and
satisfaction  of the  requirements  for such  transfer set forth in this Section
2.6, the Company shall execute,  and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
in the name of the designated  transferee or transferees,  one or more new Notes
of any authorized  denominations  and of a like aggregate  principal  amount and
bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

          Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations
and of a like  aggregate  principal  amount,  upon  surrender of the Notes to be
exchanged  at any such office or agency  maintained  by the Company  pursuant to
Section  4.2 of this  Indenture.  Whenever  any  Notes  are so  surrendered  for
exchange,  the Company shall  execute,  and the Trustee shall  authenticate  and
deliver,  the Notes which the Holder  making the exchange is entitled to receive
bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

          All Notes  presented or surrendered  for  registration  of transfer or
exchange  shall be duly endorsed,  or be accompanied by a written  instrument or
instruments of transfer in form  satisfactory  to the Company and the Registrar,
and the Notes shall be duly executed by the Holder  thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.  Except as otherwise  provided in this Indenture,  and in
addition  to the  requirements  set forth in the legend  referred  to in Section
2.6(8)(a)  below,  in  connection  with  any  transfer  of  Transfer  Restricted
Securities any request for transfer shall be accompanied by a  certification  to
the Trustee relating to the manner of such transfer substantially in the form of
Exhibit D(2) hereto.

          (2) Book-Entry  Provisions for the Global Notes.  The Rule 144A Global
Note and Regulation S Global Note initially  shall (i) be registered in the name
of the  Depositary or the nominee of such  Depositary,  (ii) be delivered to the
Trustee as custodian for the  Depositary  and (iii) bear legends as set forth in
Section 2.6(8) of this Indenture.

          Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent Members") shall
have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Rule 144A Global Note or
Regulation  S  Global  Note,  as the case may be,  held on their  behalf  by the
Depositary,  or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Rule 144A Global Note
or  Regulation  S Global  Note,  as the case may be, 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 Rule 144A Global Note or  Regulation S Global Note, as
the case may be, 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 Note.

          Transfers  of the Rule 144A  Global Note and the  Regulation  S Global
Note shall be limited to transfers of such Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S
Global Note in whole,  but not in part,  to the  Depositary,  its  successors or
their respective nominees. Beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Note and
the  Regulation  S  Global  Note  may be  transferred  in  accordance  with  the
applicable  rules and  procedures of the  Depositary  and the provisions of this
Section 2.6. The  registration of transfer and exchange of beneficial  interests
in the Global Note, which does not involve the issuance of a Certificated  Note,
shall be effected  through the  Depositary,  in accordance  with this  Indenture
(including the  restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of
the Common  Depository  therefor.  The Trustee shall have no  responsibility  or
liability for any act or omission of the Depositary.

          At any time at the request of the beneficial  holder of an interest in
the Rule 144A  Global  Note or  Permanent  Regulation  S Global Note to obtain a
Certificated  Note,  such  beneficial  holder  shall  be  entitled  to  obtain a
Certificated  Note upon written request to the Trustee and the Common Depository
in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the
Common Depository and Depositary for the issuance  thereof.  Upon receipt of any
such request,  the Common Depository will cause, in accordance with the standing
instructions   and  procedures   existing  between  the  Depositary  and  Common
Depository,  the  aggregate  principal  amount of the Rule 144A  Global  Note or
Permanent  Regulation  S Global  Note,  as  appropriate,  to be  reduced  by the
principal  amount of the  Certificated  Note  issued  upon such  request to such
beneficial  holder and,  following such reduction,  the Company will execute and
the Trustee  will  authenticate  and deliver to such  beneficial  holder (or its
nominee) a Certificated Note or Certificated Notes in the appropriate  aggregate
principal  amount in the name of such  beneficial  holder (or its  nominee)  and
bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

          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 Note  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  of
this Indenture.

          (3)  Transfers  to Non-QIB  Institutional  Accredited  Investors.  The
following  provisions  shall  apply  with  respect  to the  registration  of any
proposed  transfer  of a  Transfer  Restricted  Security  to  any  Institutional
Accredited  Investor that is not a QIB (other than any Person that is not a U.S.
Person as defined under Regulation S, a "Foreign Person"):

          (a) The Registrar shall register the transfer of any Note,  whether or
     not such Note bears the Private  Placement Legend, if (x) (A) the requested
     transfer is at least two (2) years after the later of the Issue Date of the
     Notes and (B) the proposed  transferee  has certified to the Registrar that
     the  requested  transfer  is at least two (2) years  after the last date on

     proposed  transferee  has  delivered  to the  Registrar  (A) a  certificate
     substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto and (B) such  certifications,

     reasonably  request to confirm that such  transaction is in compliance with
     the Securities Act; and

          (b) If the proposed transferor is an Agent Member holding a beneficial
     interest  in the Global  Note,  upon  receipt by the  Registrar  of (x) the

     Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in
     the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal
     amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and
     the Company shall execute,  and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
     one or more Certificated Notes of like tenor and amount.

          (4)  Transfers  to QIBs.  The  following  provisions  shall apply with
respect to the  registration of any proposed  transfer of a Transfer  Restricted

          advised the Company and the  Registrar  in writing,  that the sale has
          been  made  in  compliance  with  the  provisions  of  Rule  144A to a

          that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A; and

               (b) if the proposed  transferee is an Agent Member,  and the Note

          amount equal to the principal amount of the Certificated  Notes or the
          interest in the  Regulation S Global  Note,  as the case may be, to be
          transferred,  and the Trustee shall cancel the  Certificated  Notes or

and the  Company  shall  execute,  and the  Trustee  shall,  upon  receipt of an
authentication   order  in  accordance  with  Section  2.2  of  this  Indenture,
authenticate  and deliver  Certificated  Notes in an aggregate  principal amount
equal to the  principal  amount of the Rule 144A  Global  Note or the  Permanent
Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, in exchange for such Global Notes.

          (8) Legends.

          (a) Except as  permitted  by  Sections  2.6(8)(b)  and (c),  each Note
     certificate  evidencing Global Notes and Certificated  Notes (and all Notes
     issued in exchange  therefor or substitution  thereof) shall (x) be subject
     to the  restrictions  on transfer set forth in this Section 2.6  (including
     those set forth in the legend below) unless such  restrictions  on transfer
     shall be waived by written  consent of the Company,  and the holder of each
     Transfer Restricted Security,  by such Holder's acceptance thereof,  agrees
     to be bound by all such  restrictions  on transfer  and (y) bear the legend
     set forth below (the "Private Placement Legend"):

     THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED  UNDER THE U.S.  SECURITIES
     ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY,
     MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR
     THE  ACCOUNT  OR BENEFIT  OF,  U.S.  PERSONS  EXCEPT AS SET FORTH
     BELOW. BY ITS ACQUISITION  HEREOF, THE HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT
     (A) IT IS A "QUALIFIED  INSTITUTIONAL  BUYER" (AS DEFINED IN RULE
     144A UNDER THE SECURITIES  ACT), (B) IT IS NOT A U.S.  PERSON AND
     IS  ACQUIRING  THIS  SECURITY  IN  AN  OFFSHORE   TRANSACTION  IN
     COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (C) IT IS AN
     ACCREDITED  INVESTOR (AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a)(1),  (2), (3), OR
     (7) UNDER THE  SECURITIES  ACT (AN  "ACCREDITED  INVESTOR"),  (2)
     AGREES  THAT IT WILL NOT  WITHIN  TWO YEARS  AFTER  THE  ORIGINAL
     ISSUANCE  OF THIS  SECURITY  RESELL OR  OTHERWISE  TRANSFER  THIS
     SECURITY  EXCEPT  (A)  TO  KRONOS  INTERNATIONAL,   INC.  OR  ANY
     SUBSIDIARY  THEREOF,  (B) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A QUALIFIED
     INSTITUTIONAL  BUYER IN  COMPLIANCE  WITH  RULE  144A  UNDER  THE
     SECURITIES  ACT,  (C) INSIDE THE UNITED  STATES TO AN  ACCREDITED
     INVESTOR  THAT,  PRIOR  TO  SUCH  TRANSFER,   FURNISHES  (OR  HAS
     FURNISHED ON ITS BEHALF BY A U.S. BROKER-DEALER) TO THE TRUSTEE A
     SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN  REPRESENTATIONS  AND AGREEMENTS
     RELATING TO THE  RESTRICTIONS  ON TRANSFER OF THIS  SECURITY (THE
     FORM OF WHICH  LETTER CAN BE  OBTAINED  FROM THE TRUSTEE FOR THIS
     SECURITY),   (D)  OUTSIDE  THE  UNITED   STATES  IN  AN  OFFSHORE
     TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE  WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
     (IF AVAILABLE),  (E) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM  REGISTRATION
     PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), (F)
     IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH  ANOTHER  EXEMPTION  FROM  THE  REGISTRATION
     REQUIREMENTS  OF THE SECURITIES ACT (AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF
     COUNSEL  IF  KRONOS  INTERNATIONAL,  INC.  SO  REQUESTS),  OR (G)
     PURSUANT  TO  AN  EFFECTIVE   REGISTRATION  STATEMENT  UNDER  THE
     SECURITIES ACT AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO
     WHOM THIS SECURITY IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE  SUBSTANTIALLY  TO THE
     EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND IN ADVANCE OF SUCH TRANSFER.  IN CONNECTION
     WITH ANY  TRANSFER  OF THIS  SECURITY  WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE
     ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THIS SECURITY, IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE IS
     AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR,  THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER,
     FURNISH  TO THE  TRUSTEE  AND  KRONOS  INTERNATIONAL,  INC.  SUCH
     CERTIFICATIONS,  LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS EITHER OF
     THEM MAY  REASONABLY  REQUIRE TO CONFIRM  THAT SUCH  TRANSFER  IS
     BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT
     SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION  REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
     AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS "OFFSHORE TRANSACTION," "UNITED STATES"
     AND "U.S.  PERSON" HAVE THE MEANING GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S
     UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

          (b)  Upon any  sale or  transfer  of a  Transfer  Restricted  Security
     (including any Transfer Restricted  Security  represented by a Global Note)
     pursuant to Rule 144 under the  Securities  Act or pursuant to an effective
     registration statement under the Securities Act:

               (i) in the case of any  Transfer  Restricted  Security  that is a
          Certificated  Note,  the Registrar  shall permit the Holder thereof to
          exchange such Transfer  Restricted  Security for a  Certificated  Note
          that does not bear the  legend  set  forth in  Section  2.6(8)(a)  and
          rescind any  restriction  on the transfer of such Transfer  Restricted
          Security; and

               (ii) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security  represented
          by a Global  Note,  such  Transfer  Restricted  Security  shall not be
          required to bear the legend set forth in Section 2.6(8)(a),  but shall
          continue to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(2);  provided,
          however,  that  with  respect  to any  request  for an  exchange  of a
          Transfer  Restricted Security that is represented by a Global Note for
          a  Certificated  Note that does not bear the  legend  set forth in (i)
          above,  which  request is made in reliance  upon Rule 144,  the Holder
          thereof shall certify in writing to the Registrar that such request is
          being  made   pursuant  to  Rule  144  (such   certifications   to  be
          substantially in the form of Exhibit C(2) hereto).

          (c) Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  upon consummation of the Exchange
     Offer, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an authentication order
     in  accordance  with  Section  2.2 of this  Indenture,  the  Trustee  shall
     authenticate  Series B Notes in exchange  for Series A Notes  accepted  for
     exchange in the  Exchange  Offer,  which  Series B Notes shall not bear the
     legend  set  forth  in (a)  above,  and the  Registrar  shall  rescind  any
     restriction on the transfer of such Series A Notes, in each case unless the
     Company  has  notified  the  Registrar  in writing  that the Holder of such
     Series A Notes is either (i) a broker-dealer,  (ii) a Person  participating
     in the  distribution  of the  Series A Notes  or  (iii) a Person  who is an
     affiliate (as defined in Rule 144A) of the Company.

          (d) Each Global Note, whether or not a Transfer  Restricted  Security,
     shall also bear the following legend on the face thereof:

     THIS NOTE IS A GLOBAL NOTE  WITHIN THE  MEANING OF THE  INDENTURE
     HEREINAFTER  REFERRED  TO AND IS  REGISTERED  IN  THE  NAME  OF A
     DEPOSITARY   OR  A  NOMINEE  OF  A  DEPOSITARY   OR  A  SUCCESSOR
     DEPOSITARY. THIS NOTE IS NOT EXCHANGEABLE FOR NOTES REGISTERED IN
     THE NAME OF A PERSON  OTHER THAN THE  DEPOSITARY  OR ITS  NOMINEE
     EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED  CIRCUMSTANCES  DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE,
     AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS  SECURITY  (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER OF THIS
     SECURITY  AS A  WHOLE  BY  THE  DEPOSITARY  TO A  NOMINEE  OF THE
     DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR
     ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE  DEPOSITARY)  MAY BE REGISTERED  EXCEPT IN
     THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE.

     THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE COMMON  DEPOSITORY (AS DEFINED IN
     THE INDENTURE  GOVERNING THIS NOTE) IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF
     THE BENEFICIAL  OWNERS  HEREOF,  AND IS NOT  TRANSFERABLE  TO ANY
     PERSON  UNDER ANY  CIRCUMSTANCES  EXCEPT THAT (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY
     MAKE  SUCH  NOTATIONS  HEREON  AS MAY  BE  REQUIRED  PURSUANT  TO
     SECTIONS 2.1, 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 4.10 AND 4.15 OF THE INDENTURE, (II)
     THIS  GLOBAL  NOTE  MAY BE  EXCHANGED  IN  WHOLE  BUT NOT IN PART
     PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.6 OF THE INDENTURE,  (III) THIS GLOBAL NOTE
     MAY BE  DELIVERED  TO THE  TRUSTEE FOR  CANCELLATION  PURSUANT TO
     SECTION  2.11 OF THE  INDENTURE  AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE
     TRANSFERRED  TO A  SUCCESSOR  DEPOSITORY  WITH THE PRIOR  WRITTEN
     CONSENT OF THE COMPANY.

          (e) Any Global Note may be endorsed with or have  incorporated  in the
     text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent  with the
     provisions of this Indenture as may be required by the Common Depository or
     the  Depositary  in order  for the Notes to be  tradable  on  Euroclear  or
     Clearstream or as may be required for the Notes to be tradable on any other
     market  developed  for  trading  of  securities  pursuant  to Rule  144A or
     Regulation  S under the  Securities  Act or  required  to  comply  with any
     applicable  law  or  any  regulation  thereunder  or  with  the  rules  and
     regulations of any securities  exchange or automated  quotation system upon
     which the Notes may be listed or traded or to  conform  with any usage with
     respect thereto,  or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to
     which any particular Notes are subject.

          (9)  Cancellation  and/or  Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as
all beneficial  interests in Global Notes have been  exchanged for  Certificated
Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, all Global Notes shall be returned to or
retained  and  canceled by the Trustee in  accordance  with Section 2.11 of this
Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in
a Global Note is  exchanged  for  Certificated  Notes,  redeemed,  purchased  or
canceled,  the principal amount of Notes  represented by such Global Notes shall
be reduced  accordingly and an endorsement  shall be made on such Global Note by
the  Trustee or the Common  Depository,  at the  direction  of the  Trustee,  to
reflect such reduction.  In the event of any transfer of any beneficial interest
between the Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note in accordance
with the standing  procedures  and  instructions  between the Depositary and the
Common Depository and the transfer  restrictions set forth herein, the aggregate
principal  amount  of each of the Rule 144A  Global  Note and the  Regulation  S
Global Note shall be appropriately  increased or decreased,  as the case may be,
and an  endorsement  shall be made on each of the Rule 144A  Global Note and the
Regulation  S  Global  Note by the  Trustee  or the  Common  Depository,  at the
direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

          (10) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

          (a) To permit  registrations  of transfers and exchanges,  the Company
     shall execute and the Trustee  shall  authenticate  Certificated  Notes and
     Global Notes at the Registrar's request.

          (b) No service  charge shall be made to a Holder for any  registration
     of transfer  or  exchange,  but the  Company  may require  payment of a sum
     sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable
     in  connection  therewith  (other than any such  transfer  taxes or similar
     governmental  charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections
     3.6 and 9.5 of this Indenture).

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

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

          (e) The Company shall not be required:

               (i) to issue,  to register the  transfer of or to exchange  Notes
          during a period  beginning  at the  opening of business 15 days before
          the day of any  selection of Notes for  redemption  or purchase  under
          Section 3.2 of this  Indenture  and ending at the close of business on
          the day of selection; or

               (ii) to  register  the  transfer  of or to  exchange  any Note so
          selected for  redemption  in whole or in part,  except the  unredeemed
          portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

               (iii) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a
          record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

          (f) Prior to due presentment of the  registration of a transfer of any
     Note, the Trustee,  any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person
     in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for
     the purpose of all  payments  with  respect to such Notes,  and neither the
     Trustee,  any  Agent nor the  Company  shall be  affected  by notice to the
     contrary.

          (g) The Trustee shall authenticate Certificated Notes and Global Notes
     in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 of this Indenture.

Section 2.7.      Replacement Notes.

          If any  mutilated  Note is  surrendered  to the  Trustee or either the
Company or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt
of an  authentication  order in accordance  with Section 2.2 of this  Indenture,
shall  authenticate  a  replacement  Note  if  the  Trustee's  requirements  for
replacement  of Notes are met. If required  by the  Trustee or the  Company,  an
indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment
of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company,  the  Trustee,  any Agent
and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note
is  replaced.  The  Trustee  and the  Company  may  charge  the Holder for their
expenses in replacing a Note.

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

Section 2.8.      Outstanding Notes.

          The Notes  outstanding at any time are all the Notes  authenticated by
the  Trustee  except  for  those  canceled  by  it,  those  delivered  to it for
cancellation,  those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the
Trustee or the Common Depository in accordance with the provisions  hereof,  and
those described in this Section 2.8 as not  outstanding.  Except as set forth in
Section 2.9 of this Indenture,  a Note does not cease to be outstanding  because
the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

          If a Note is replaced  pursuant to Section 2.7 of this  Indenture,  it
shall cease to be outstanding  unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to
it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser for value.

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

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

          If Notes, or portions  thereof,  for whose payment or redemption money
or Government Obligations in the necessary amount, including accrued interest to
the  Redemption  Date,  has been  theretofore  deposited with the Trustee or any
Paying  Agent  (other than the  Company) in trust for the Holders of such Notes;
provided,  that if such Notes are to be redeemed,  notice of such redemption has
been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to
the  Trustee  has  been  made,  such  Notes  shall  be  deemed  to be no  longer
outstanding under this Indenture.

Section 2.9.      Treasury Notes.

          In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Notes have  concurred in any  direction,  waiver or consent,  Notes owned by the
Company,  the  Guarantors  or by any  Affiliate  thereof  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 of consent,
only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be
so disregarded. The Company agrees to notify the Trustee of the existence of any
such  treasury  Notes or Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor or any such
Notes of which the Company is aware owned by any other Affiliate thereof.

Section 2.10.     Temporary Notes.

          Until  Certificated  Notes are ready for  delivery,  the  Company  may
prepare and the Trustee,  upon receipt of an authentication  order in accordance
with  Section  2.2  of  this  Indenture,  shall  authenticate  temporary  Notes.
Temporary Notes shall be  substantially  in the form of Certificated  Notes, but
may have such  variations  as the Company  considers  appropriate  for temporary
Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable
delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Certificated
Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

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

Section 2.11.     Cancellation.

          The  Company  at  any  time  may  deliver  Notes  to the  Trustee  for
cancellation.  The  Registrar  and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes  surrendered for  registration of
transfer,  exchange, payment,  replacement or cancellation and shall destroy all
canceled Notes in accordance  with the Trustee's usual  procedures.  The Trustee
shall dispose of such Notes as it may reasonably determine.  The Company may not
issue new Notes to replace Notes that have been paid or that have been delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12.     Defaulted Interest.

          If the Company  defaults  in a payment of  interest on the Notes,  the
Company  shall pay the  defaulted  interest in any lawful  manner  plus,  to the
extent lawful,  interest payable on the defaulted  interest,  to the Persons who
are  Holders  on a  subsequent  special  record  date,  in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 of this  Indenture.  The Company  shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be
paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or
cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date,  provided that
no such  special  record  date shall be less than 10 days  prior to the  related
payment date for such  defaulted  interest.  At least 15 days before the special
record date,  the Company  (or,  upon the written  request of the  Company,  the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be
mailed to Holders a notice  that  states the special  record  date,  the related
payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13.     Persons Deemed Owners.

          Prior to due  presentment of a Note for  registration  of transfer and
subject to Section 2.12 of this Indenture,  the Company, the Trustee, any Paying
Agent, any co-registrar and any Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose
name any Note  shall  be  registered  upon  the  register  of Notes  kept by the
Registrar as the absolute  owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be
overdue and  notwithstanding  any  notation of the  ownership  or other  writing
thereon  made  by  anyone  other  than  the  Company,  any  co-registrar  or any
Registrar)  for the purpose of receiving  all payments with respect to such Note
and for all other  purposes,  and none of the Company,  the Trustee,  any Paying
Agent,  any co-registrar or any Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

Section 2.14.     "CUSIP", "ISIN" and "Common Code" Numbers.

          The Company in issuing the Notes shall use "CUSIP", "ISIN" and "Common
Code" number(s) and the Trustee shall use the "CUSIP",  "ISIN" and "Common Code"
number(s)  in notices of  redemption  or exchange as a  convenience  to Holders;
provided that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any  responsibility
for any defect in the  "CUSIP",  "ISIN" or "Common  Code" number that appears on
any Note, check, advice or payment or redemption notice, and any such notice may
state that no  representation  is made as to the  correctness or accuracy of the
"CUSIP",  "ISIN" and  "Common  Code"  number(s)  printed in the notice or on the
Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification  numbers
printed on the Notes and any such  redemption or exchange  shall not be affected
by any defect in or  omission of such  number(s).  The  Company  shall  promptly
notify the Trustee of any changes in "CUSIP", "ISIN" or "Common Code" numbers.

Section 2.15.     Designation.

          The  Indebtedness  evidenced by the Notes and the Guarantees is hereby
irrevocably  designated  as "senior  indebtedness"  or such other term  denoting
seniority  for the  purposes  of any  future  Indebtedness  of the  Company or a
Guarantor  which the  Company or a  Guarantor  makes  subordinate  to any senior
indebtedness or such other term denoting seniority.

Section 2.16.     Issuance of Additional Notes.

          The Company  shall be entitled  to issue  Additional  Notes under this
Indenture which shall have substantially  identical terms as the Series A Notes,
other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price, amount of interest
payable on the first payment date  applicable  thereto (and, if such  Additional
Notes shall be issued pursuant to a registration  statement under the Securities
Act,  other than with  respect to transfer  restrictions  or if such  Additional
Notes shall be required to be registered  under the  Securities  Act pursuant to
the terms of a registration  rights or similar agreement,  such Additional Notes
shall be  exchangeable  for and the Company  shall  issue and the Trustee  shall
authenticate Notes  substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, but without a
Private  Placement  Legend,  to be  delivered  in exchange  for such  Additional
Notes); provided that any issuance is not prohibited by Section 4.9.

          With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a
resolution of its Board of Directors (or a duly appointed committee thereof) and
in an Officers'  Certificate,  a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the
Trustee, the following information:

          (1) the  aggregate  principal  amount of such  Additional  Notes to be
     authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

          (2) the issue price and the issue date of such Additional  Notes,  the
     amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto and
     the CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code for such Additional Notes;  provided that no
     Additional  Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional
     Notes to have "original issue discount"  within the meaning of Section 1273
     of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and

          (3)  whether  such  Additional  Notes  shall  be  Transfer  Restricted
     Securities and issued in the form of Series A Notes as set forth in Exhibit
     A hereto, or shall be registered securities.

ARTICLE III.

                             REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE

Section 3.1.      Notices to Trustee.

          If the Company  elects to redeem Notes  pursuant to the  provisions of
Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 of this Indenture,  it shall furnish to the Trustee,  at
least 45 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, an Officers'
Certificate  setting forth the Section of this  Indenture  pursuant to which the
redemption shall occur, the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be
redeemed and the Redemption Price.

          If the Company is required to offer to purchase  Notes pursuant to the
provisions  of  Section  4.10 or 4.15 of this  Indenture,  it shall  notify  the
Trustee  in  writing,  at least 30 days but not  more  than 60 days  before  the
Purchase Date, of the Section of this  Indenture  pursuant to which the purchase
shall occur,  the Purchase  Date,  the principal  amount of Notes required to be
purchased  and the Purchase  Price and shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate to the effect that (a) the Company is required to make or has made a
Net Proceeds Offer or a Change of Control Offer, as the case may be, and (b) the
conditions set forth in Section 4.10 or 4.15 of this Indenture,  as the case may
be, have been satisfied.

          If the Registrar is not the Trustee,  the Company shall,  concurrently
with each notice of  redemption  or purchase,  cause the Registrar to deliver to
the Trustee a  certificate  (upon which the Trustee may rely)  setting forth the
principal amounts of Notes held by each Holder.

Section 3.2.      Selection of Notes.

          Except  as set  forth  below,  if less than all of the Notes are to be
redeemed or  purchased  other than  pursuant to Section 3.7 or 3.8,  the Trustee
shall  select the Notes or  portions  thereof to be  redeemed  or  purchased  in
compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities  exchange,
if any,  on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not then listed on a
national securities  exchange,  on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as
the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.  In the event of partial redemption
or purchase by lot, the particular  Notes or portions  thereof to be redeemed or
purchased shall be selected,  unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30
nor more  than 60 days  prior to the  Redemption  Date or  Purchase  Date by the
Trustee from the  outstanding  Notes not  previously  called for  redemption  or
purchase.

          If less than all of the Notes tendered are to be purchased pursuant to

the  Company  shall  deliver  to the  Trustee,  at  least  40 days  prior to the
Redemption  Date or Purchase Date, as the case may be, an Officers'  Certificate
requesting  that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the  information
to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.3(2).

Section 3.4.      Effect of Notice of Redemption or Purchase.

          Once notice of  redemption  or  purchase is mailed,  Notes or portions
thereof  called  for  redemption  or  purchase  become  due and  payable  on the
Redemption Date or Purchase Date, as the case may be, at the Redemption Price or
Purchase  Price,  as the case may be. Upon  surrender to any Paying Agent,  such
Notes or  portions  thereof  shall be paid at the  Redemption  Price or Purchase
Price,  as the case may be, plus  Additional  Interest,  if any, and accrued and
unpaid  interest to the  Redemption  Date or Purchase  Date, as the case may be;
provided, however, that installments of interest which are due and payable on or
prior to the  Redemption  Date or Purchase  Date,  as the case may be,  shall be

redeemed or purchased on that date, including without limitation any accrued and
unpaid  interest and  Additional  Interest,  if any, to the  Redemption  Date or
Purchase  Date,  as the case may be.  The  Trustee  or the  Paying  Agent  shall
promptly  return to the Company any money not required for that purpose upon the
Company's request.

          (2) Unless the Company  defaults in making such payment,  interest and
any  Additional  Interest on the Notes to be redeemed or purchased will cease to
accrue on the applicable  Redemption  Date or Purchase Date, as the case may be,
whether or not such Notes are  presented  for  payment.  If any Note  called for
redemption  or  purchase  shall not be so paid  upon  surrender  because  of the
failure of the Company to comply with Section  3.5(1),  interest will be paid on
the unpaid principal,  from the applicable  Redemption Date or Purchase Date, as
the case may be, until such  principal is paid,  and on any interest not paid on
such  unpaid  principal,  in each case at the rate  provided in the Notes and in
Section 4.1 of this Indenture.

Section 3.6.      Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

          Upon  surrender of a Note that is redeemed or  purchased in part,  the
Company  shall issue and the Trustee  shall  authenticate  for the Holder at the
expense of the  Company a new Note equal in  principal  amount to portion of the

the Company must pay accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest,

be  made  pursuant  to the  provisions  of  Sections  3.1  through  3.6 of  this

Offering.  Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall be made pursuant to
the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 of this Indenture.

Control, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the
Applicable Premium as of, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, the
Redemption Date or Purchase Date, as the case may be (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the

occurrence  of such Change of  Control).  The Company may provide in such notice
that payment of such price and  performance  of the Company's  obligations  with
respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another  Person.  Any

information  available to securities  analysts and  prospective  investors  upon
request.  So  long  as the  Notes  are  admitted  to the  Official  List  of the

addition, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding,  the Company will furnish

stating  that a review of the  activities  of the Company  and its  Subsidiaries
during the  preceding  fiscal  year has been made under the  supervision  of the
signing  Officers  with a view to  determining  whether  the  Company  has kept,
observed,  performed and fulfilled its  obligations  under this Indenture in all
material  respects,  and further  stating,  as to each such Officer signing such
certificate,  that to the best of his or her  knowledge  the  Company  has kept,

and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.6.      Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

          The Company  covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it shall not at any time insist upon,  plead, or in any manner  whatsoever claim

the  performance of this  Indenture;  and the Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby  expressly  waives all benefit or  advantage  of any such
law, and covenants that (to the extent that it lawfully may do so) it shall not,
by resort to any such law,  hinder,  delay or impede the  execution of any power
herein  granted to the  Trustee,  but shall  suffer and permit the  execution of
every such power as though such law has not been enacted.

          for purposes of this paragraph (v), the aggregate provision or benefit
          for income  taxes used to  calculate  Consolidated  Net Income for any
          period after the Issue Date in accordance  with GAAP shall be replaced
          with income taxes paid (or received) in cash; plus

               (w) 100% of the  aggregate  net  cash  proceeds  received  by the
          Company  from any Person  (other than a Restricted  Subsidiary  of the
          Company) from the issuance and sale subsequent to June 28, 2002 and on

          convertible into, or exchangeable for, Qualified Capital Stock); plus

               (x)  without  duplication  of any  amounts  included  in  Section
          4.7(1)(iii)(w)  above,  100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds of any
          equity  contribution  received  by the  Company  from a holder  of the

          Indenture); plus

               (y) without duplication, the sum of:

               to Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made subsequent
               to June 28, 2002,  whether through interest  payments,  principal
               payments, dividends or other distributions or payments;

                    (2) the net cash proceeds  received by the Company or any of
               its Restricted  Subsidiaries  from the  disposition of all or any
               portion of Investments  (other than Permitted  Investments)  made
               subsequent to June 28, 2002 other than to a Restricted Subsidiary
               of the Company; and

                    (3) upon  redesignation  of an Unrestricted  Subsidiary as a
               Restricted Subsidiary,  the fair market value of such Subsidiary;
               provided,  however,  that the sum of amounts  governed by clauses
               (y)(1) and (y)(2)  above and this  clause  (y)(3)  shall first be
               included  under this  Section  4.7(1)(iii)(y)  and, to the extent
               that the sum of clauses  (y)(1) and (y)(2)  above and this clause
               (y)(3)  exceeds the aggregate  amount of all  Investments  (other
               than  Permitted  Investments)  made  subsequent to June 28, 2002,
               shall be included  under  Section  4.7(1)(iii)(v)  as included in
               Consolidated Net Income; plus

               (z) $25 million.

     Subsidiary  of the  Company) of shares of  Qualified  Capital  Stock of the
     Company;

          (c) the  acquisition or redemption of any  Indebtedness of the Company

     officers and employees of the Company or any of its  Subsidiaries  or their
     authorized  representatives  upon  the  death,  disability,  retirement  or

              Restricted Subsidiaries.

          The  Company  will  not,  and will  not  cause  or  permit  any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or
permit  to exist or become  effective  any  encumbrance  or  restriction  on the
ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to:

          (1) pay dividends or make any other  distributions on or in respect of
     its Capital Stock;

          (2)  make  loans  or  advances  or to pay any  Indebtedness  or  other

     Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,

except, in each case, for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by
reason of:

          (a) applicable law;

          (b) the Notes or this Indenture;

          (c) customary  non-assignment  provisions of any contract or any lease

     or restriction  is not  applicable to properties or assets,  other than the
     properties or assets so acquired;

          (e)  agreements  existing  on the Issue  Date to the extent and in the
     manner such  agreements are in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments,
     extensions,  renewals or  substitutions  thereof provided that the terms of
     such amendments,  extensions,  renewals or substitutions are not materially
     more  restrictive  in the aggregate as determined by the Board of Directors
     of the Company in its good faith judgment;

          (f) customary restrictions in the Credit Agreement,  to the extent and
     in the manner in effect on the date of effectiveness thereof, and customary
     restrictions in other agreements  governing  Permitted  Indebtedness to the
     extent  such  restrictions  would not  reasonably  be  expected  to have an
     adverse  effect on the ability of the  Company to timely pay the  principal
     and interest on the Notes;

     Lien permitted under this Indenture imposed by the holder of such Lien;

     relating  solely to the  respective  joint venture or similar entity or the
     equity interests  therein) entered into in the ordinary course of business;
     or

          (k) an agreement  governing  Indebtedness  incurred to  Refinance  the
     Indebtedness issued,  assumed or incurred pursuant to an agreement referred
     to in clause  (b),  (d),  (e) or (f)  above;  provided,  however,  that the
     provisions  relating to such  encumbrance or  restriction  contained in any
     such  Indebtedness  are not materially more restrictive in the aggregate as
     determined  by the Board of  Directors  of the  Company  in its good  faith
     judgment than the  provisions  relating to such  encumbrance or restriction
     contained in agreements referred to in such clause (b), (d), (e) or (f).

Section 4.9.      Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness.

          (1) The Company  will not,  and will not permit any of its  Restricted
Subsidiaries  to,  directly or indirectly,  create,  incur,  assume,  guarantee,
acquire, become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise
become  responsible  for payment of  (collectively,  "incur")  any  Indebtedness
(other than Permitted  Indebtedness);  provided,  however, that if no Default or
Event of Default  shall have  occurred and be  continuing at the time of or as a
consequence  of the incurrence of any such  Indebtedness,  the Company or any of
its  Restricted  Subsidiaries  that  is or,  upon  such  incurrence,  becomes  a
Guarantor  may  incur  Indebtedness  (including,  without  limitation,  Acquired
Indebtedness)  and any Restricted  Subsidiary of the Company that is not or will
not, upon such incurrence,  become a Guarantor may incur Acquired  Indebtedness,
in each case if on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving
effect to the incurrence  thereof,  the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
of the Company is greater than 2.5 to 1.0.

          (2) The Company and any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor will
not  incur  any  Indebtedness  that  is  expressly  subordinated  to any  senior
Indebtedness  of the Company or any such Guarantor  unless such  Indebtedness is
also  expressly  subordinated  on the  same  basis  to  the  Notes  or any  such
Guarantees.

Section 4.10.     Limitation on Asset Sales.

          (1) The Company  will not,  and will not permit any of its  Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

          (a) the Company or the applicable Restricted  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 assets sold or otherwise  disposed of
     as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors;

          (b) at least 75% of the  consideration  received by the Company or the
     Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale shall be in
     the form of cash or Cash  Equivalents  and is  received at the time of such
     disposition; provided, however, that for the purposes of this Section 4.10,
     the amount of any liability that would be shown on a  consolidated  balance
     sheet of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary,  as the case may be, in
     accordance with GAAP and immediately  prior to the time of such Asset Sale,
     other than  liabilities  that are by their terms expressly  subordinated to
     the Notes,  that are assumed by the transferee of any such Asset Sale, will
     be deemed to be cash; and

          (c) upon the  consummation  of an Asset Sale, the Company shall apply,
     or cause  such  Restricted  Subsidiary  to  apply,  the Net  Cash  Proceeds
     relating to such Asset Sale within 365 days of receipt thereof either:

               (i) to prepay any secured senior  Indebtedness  of the Company or
          senior Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary and, in the case of any
          such senior Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility, effect a
          permanent  reduction in the  availability  under such revolving credit
          facility;

               (ii) to acquire or otherwise  make an  investment or enter into a
          binding  commitment  to acquire or  otherwise  make an  investment  in
          properties  and assets  (including  Capital  Stock)  that  replace the
          properties and assets (including  Capital Stock) that were the subject
          of such Asset Sale or in  properties  and  assets  (including  Capital
          Stock)  that  will be  used in the  business  of the  Company  and its
          Restricted Subsidiaries as existing on the Issue Date or in businesses
          reasonably related thereto ("Replacement Assets"); and/or

               (iii) a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by the
          foregoing Sections 4.10(1)(c)(i) and (c)(ii).

          (2) On the 366th day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any,
as the  Board of  Directors  of the  Company  or of such  Restricted  Subsidiary
determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set
forth in  Sections  4.10(1)(c)(i),  (1)(c)(ii)  and  (1)(c)(iii)  (each,  a "Net
Proceeds Offer Trigger Date"),  the aggregate  amount of Net Cash Proceeds which
have not been  applied on or before  such Net  Proceeds  Offer  Trigger  Date as
permitted in Sections  4.10(1)(c)(i),  (1)(c)(ii) and  (1)(c)(iii)  (each a "Net
Proceeds  Offer  Amount")  shall be  applied by the  Company or such  Restricted
Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the "Net Proceeds  Offer")  pursuant to
Section 3.11 and this Section 4.10 to all Holders on a date not less than 30 nor
more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from
all Holders on a pro rata basis,  that amount of Notes equal to the Net Proceeds
Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be
purchased,  plus accrued and unpaid  interest  thereon,  if any, to the Purchase
Date; provided, however, that if at any time any non-cash consideration received
by the Company or any Restricted  Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be,
in  connection  with  any  Asset  Sale is  converted  into or sold or  otherwise
disposed of for cash  (other than  interest  received  with  respect to any such
non-cash consideration),  then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to
constitute an Asset Sale  hereunder  and the Net Cash Proceeds  thereof shall be
applied in accordance with this Section 4.10.

          (3)  Notwithstanding  paragraphs (1) and (2) of this Section 4.10, the
Company and its  Restricted  Subsidiaries  may  consummate an Asset Sale without
complying with such paragraphs to the extent that:

          (a) at least 80% of the  consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes
     Replacement Assets; and

          (b)  such  Asset  Sale is for fair  market  value;  provided  that any
     consideration that does not constitute  Replacement Assets that is received
     by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any
     Asset Sale  permitted  under this  paragraph (3) shall  constitute Net Cash
     Proceeds and shall be subject to the  provisions of paragraphs  (1) and (2)
     of this Section 4.10.

          (4) The  Company  or such  Restricted  Subsidiary  may  defer  the Net
Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate  unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount
equal to or in excess of $20 million  resulting from one or more Asset Sales (at
which time, the entire  unutilized  Net Proceeds Offer Amount,  and not just the
amount in excess of $20 million,  shall be applied as required  pursuant to this
Section 4.10).

          (5) In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of
the property  and assets of the Company and its  Restricted  Subsidiaries  as an
entirety  to a Person  in a  transaction  permitted  under  Section  5.1 of this
Indenture,  which  transaction  does not  constitute  a Change of  Control,  the
successor  corporation shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of
the Company and its Restricted  Subsidiaries  not so transferred for purposes of
this Section  4.10,  and shall comply with the  provisions  of this Section 4.10
with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale.  In addition,  the
fair market value of such properties and assets of the Company or its Restricted
Subsidiaries  deemed  to be sold  shall be deemed  to be Net Cash  Proceeds  for
purposes of this Section 4.10.

          (6) The Company will comply with the  requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent such laws and  regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase
of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds  Offer. To the extent that the provisions of
any securities laws or regulations  conflict with this Section 4.10, the Company
shall comply with the applicable  securities  laws and regulations and shall not
be deemed to have  breached  its  obligations  under this Section 4.10 by virtue
thereof.

          (7) After  consummation of any Net Proceeds  Offers,  any Net Proceeds
Offer Amount not applied to any such purchase may be used by the Company for any
purpose permitted by the other provisions of this Indenture.

          (8) To the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds  related to
an Asset Sale of a Restricted Subsidiary are prohibited or delayed by applicable
law from being repatriated (in the form of dividends, loans or otherwise) to the
Company, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected shall not be required
to be applied at the time provided by this Section 4.10,  but may be retained by
the  applicable  Restricted  Subsidiary  so  long,  but  only so  long,  as such
applicable law will not permit  repatriation  to the Company (the Company having
agreed  to cause the  applicable  Restricted  Subsidiary  to  promptly  take all
actions required by the applicable law to permit such repatriation).  After such
repatriation  of any such  affected Net Cash  Proceeds is  permitted  under such
applicable  law,  such  repatriation  shall  be  immediately  effected  and such
repatriated  Net Cash  Proceeds will be applied in a manner as described in this
Section 4.10.

Section 4.11.     Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.

          (1) The Company  will not,  and will not permit any of its  Restricted
Subsidiaries  to,  directly  or  indirectly,  enter  into or permit to exist any
transaction or series of related  transactions  (including,  without limitation,
the  purchase,  sale,  lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any
service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates  (each an "Affiliate
Transaction"),  other  than  Affiliate  Transactions  on terms  that are no less
favorable  than those that might  reasonably  have been obtained in a comparable
transaction at such time on an  arm's-length  basis from a Person that is not an
Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary.

          (2) All Affiliate  Transactions  (and each series of related Affiliate
Transactions  which are similar or part of a common  plan)  involving  aggregate
payments  or other  property  with a fair  market  value in excess of $2 million
shall be approved by the Board of  Directors  of the Company or such  Restricted
Subsidiary,  as the  case  may be,  such  approval  to be  evidenced  by a Board
Resolution  stating  that  such  Board of  Directors  has  determined  that such
transaction  complies  with the  foregoing  provisions.  If the  Company  or any
Restricted  Subsidiary of the Company enters into an Affiliate Transaction (or a
series of related Affiliate Transactions related to a common plan) that involves
an aggregate fair market value of more than $12.5  million,  the Company or such
Restricted  Subsidiary,  as the case may be,  shall,  prior to the  consummation
thereof,  obtain a favorable  opinion as to the fairness of such  transaction or
series  of  related  transactions  to the  Company  or the  relevant  Restricted
Subsidiary,  as the  case  may be,  from a  financial  point  of  view,  from an
Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Trustee.

          (3) The  restrictions  set forth in Section  4.11(1) and 4.11(2) shall
not apply to, and the term "Affiliate Transaction" shall not include, any of the
following (each of the following being a "Permitted Affiliate Transaction"):

          (a) reasonable fees and compensation paid to and indemnity provided on
     behalf of officers,  directors,  employees or consultants of the Company or
     any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as determined in good faith by the
     Company's Board of Directors or senior management;

          (b)  transactions  to the  extent  exclusively  between  or among  the
     Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or to the extent exclusively
     between or among such Restricted  Subsidiaries,  provided such transactions
     are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture;

     Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby
     (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) in any replacement  agreement
     thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement  agreement is not more
     disadvantageous  to the Holders in any  material  respect than the original
     agreement  as in  effect  on  the  Issue  Date  or is  required  by  law or
     regulatory  authority  or the  Transfer  Pricing  Guidelines  issued by the
     Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development;

          (d)  purchases  and  sales of  product  and raw  materials,  insurance
     arrangements  and payments,  all of the foregoing in the ordinary course of
     business   consistent  with  past  practice  or  as  may  be  necessary  to
     accommodate  legal,  regulatory  or other  changes in the  business  of the
     Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; and

          (e) Restricted Payments (or Permitted Investments set forth in clauses
     (4),  (7) and (12) of the  definition  thereof  contained  in Section  1.1)
     permitted by this Indenture.

Section 4.12.     Limitation on Liens.

          The  Company  will  not,  and will  not  cause  or  permit  any of its
Restricted  Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,  create,  incur,  assume or
permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind  against or upon any property or
assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries whether owned on the
Issue Date or  acquired  after the Issue Date,  or any  proceeds  therefrom,  or
assign or  otherwise  convey any right to receive  income or profits  therefrom,
unless:

          (1) in the  case of  Liens  securing  Indebtedness  that is  expressly
     subordinate  or  junior in right of  payment  to the  Notes,  the Notes are
     secured by a Lien on such  property,  assets or proceeds  that is senior in
     priority to such Liens; and

          (2) in all other  cases,  the Notes are equally  and ratably  secured,
     except for:

               (a) Liens  existing as of the Issue Date to the extent and in the
          manner such Liens are in effect on the Issue Date and any  amendments,
          extensions,  renewals  or  substitutions  thereof  provided  that  the
          property  subject  to such  Liens as  amended,  extended,  renewed  or
          substituted is not materially different from that initially subject to
          such Liens as  determined  by the Board of Directors of the Company in
          their good faith judgment;

               (b) Liens securing Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement;

               (c) Liens  securing  senior  Indebtedness  incurred  pursuant  to
          clauses (11) or (12) of the definition of Permitted  Indebtedness,  as
          defined in Section 1.1;

               (d) Liens securing the Notes and any Guarantees;

               (e) Liens of the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted  Subsidiary
          of the Company on assets of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

               (f)  Liens  securing   Indebtedness  incurred  to  Refinance  any
          Indebtedness  which has been  secured by a Lien  permitted  under this
          Indenture  and  which  has been  incurred  without  violation  of this
          Indenture;  provided,  however,  that such  Liens do not  extend to or
          cover any  property or assets of the Company or any of its  Restricted
          Subsidiaries not securing the Indebtedness so Refinanced; and

               (g) Permitted Liens.

          In the event that any Lien the existence of which gives rise to a Lien
securing  the Notes  pursuant to the  provisions  of this Section 4.12 ceases to
exist,  the  Lien  securing  the  Notes  required  by this  Section  4.12  shall
automatically   be  released   and  the  Trustee   shall   execute   appropriate
documentation.

Section 4.13.     Conduct of Business.

          The Company  and its  Restricted  Subsidiaries  will not engage in any
businesses  which  are not the  same,  similar  or  reasonably  related  to,  or
ancillary  or  complementary  to, the  businesses  in which the  Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries are engaged on the Issue Date.

Section 4.14.     Maintenance of Properties and Insurance.

          (1) The Company shall cause all material properties owned by or leased
by it or any of the Restricted  Subsidiaries used in the conduct of its business
or the business of any of the Restricted  Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept
in  normal  condition,  repair  and  working  order  (reasonable  wear  and tear
excepted)  and  shall  cause  to  be  made  all  necessary  repairs,   renewals,
replacements,  betterments and improvements  thereof,  all as, and to the extent
that,  in its judgment  may be  necessary,  so that the  business  carried on in
connection  therewith may be properly and  advantageously  conducted;  provided,
however,  that nothing in this Section  4.14(1) shall prevent the Company or any
of  the  Restricted  Subsidiaries  from  discontinuing  the  use,  operation  or
maintenance  of any of such  properties,  or disposing  of any of them,  if such
discontinuance  or disposal is, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company or of the Board of  Directors  of any  Restricted  Subsidiary,  or of an
officer  (or other agent  employed  by the  Company or of any of the  Restricted
Subsidiaries)  of the  Company  or any of  its  Restricted  Subsidiaries  having
managerial responsibility for any such property, desirable in the conduct of the
business of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and if such discontinuance
or disposal would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (2) The  Company  shall  maintain,  and  shall  cause  the  Restricted
Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with responsible carriers against such risks
and in such amounts, and with such deductibles, retentions, self-insured amounts
and co-insurance provisions, as are customarily carried by similar businesses of
similar size,  including property and casualty loss,  workers'  compensation and
interruption  of business  insurance  to the extent  available  on  commercially
reasonable terms; provided,  however, that nothing in this Section 4.14(2) shall
prevent the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries from discontinuing any
insurance, or modifying any such deductibles,  retentions,  self-insured amounts
or co-insurance  provisions,  if such  discontinuance or modification is, in the
judgment of the Board of  Directors  of the Company or of the Board of Directors
of any Restricted  Subsidiary,  or of an officer (or other agent employed by the
Company or of any of the Restricted  Subsidiaries)  of the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries having managerial responsibility for any such insurance,
desirable  in the  conduct of the  business  of the  Company  or any  Restricted
Subsidiary,  and if such  discontinuance or modification would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.15.     Offer to Purchase upon Change of Control.

          Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes shall
have the right to require  that the Company  purchase  all or any part (equal to
(euro)50,000  or an integral  multiple of (euro)1,000 in excess thereof) of such
Holder's  Notes (a "Change of Control  Offer") at a Purchase Price equal to 101%
of the  aggregate  principal  amount  thereof,  together with accrued and unpaid
interest and  Additional  Interest,  if any,  thereon to the Purchase  Date. The
Change  of  Control  Offer  shall  be made in  compliance  with  the  applicable
procedures  set forth in Article  III of this  Indenture  and shall  include all
instructions  and  materials  reasonably  necessary to enable  Holders to tender
their Notes.

          The Company  will not be  required  to make a Change of Control  Offer
upon a Change of Control if a third party  makes the Change of Control  Offer in
the manner,  at the times and otherwise in compliance with the  requirements set
forth in this  Indenture  applicable  to a Change of  Control  Offer made by the
Company,  and purchases all Notes validly  tendered and not withdrawn under such
Change of Control Offer.

          The Company will comply with the  requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other  securities  laws and  regulations  thereunder to the
extent such laws and  regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase
of  Notes  pursuant  to a  Change  of  Control  Offer.  To the  extent  that the
provisions  of any  securities  laws or  regulations  conflict with this Section
4.15,  the  Company  shall  comply  with  the  applicable  securities  laws  and
regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations  under this
Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.16.     Limitation of Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries.

          (1) The Company  will not permit any of its  Restricted  Subsidiaries,
directly  or  indirectly,  by way of the  pledge  of any  intercompany  note  or
otherwise,  to assume,  guarantee  or in any other  manner  become  liable  with
respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company (other than: (i) Indebtedness and other obligations under the Credit
Agreement;  (ii)  Permitted  Indebtedness  of a  Restricted  Subsidiary  of  the
Company; (iii) Indebtedness under Currency Agreements or Commodity Agreements in
reliance on clause (5) of the  definition  of  Permitted  Indebtedness;  or (iv)
Interest Swap  Obligations  incurred in reliance on clause (4) of the definition
of Permitted Indebtedness), unless, in any such case:

          (a) such  Restricted  Subsidiary  executes and delivers a supplemental
     indenture to this Indenture,  providing a guarantee of payment of the Notes
     by such Restricted Subsidiary; and

          (b)  if  such  assumption,   guarantee  or  other  liability  of  such
     Restricted  Subsidiary  is  provided  in  respect of  Indebtedness  that is
     expressly  subordinated  to the Notes (or a Guarantee  of the  Notes),  the
     guarantee or other  instrument  provided by such  Restricted  Subsidiary in
     respect of such  subordinated  Indebtedness  shall be  subordinated  to the
     Guarantee  pursuant to  subordination  provisions no less  favorable to the
     Holders of the Notes than those contained in such other Indebtedness.

          (2) Notwithstanding the foregoing,  any such Guarantee by a Restricted
Subsidiary  of the Notes shall (and shall provide by its terms that it shall) be
automatically and unconditionally  released and discharged,  without any further
action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, upon:

     (a) the  unconditional  release  of such  Restricted  Subsidiary  from  its
assumption,  guarantee  or other  liability  in respect of the  Indebtedness  in
connection  with which such  Guarantee  was executed and  delivered  pursuant to
Section 4.16(1); or

     (b) any sale or other  disposition  (by merger or  otherwise) to any Person
which is not a Restricted  Subsidiary of the Company of all of the Capital Stock
in, or all or  substantially  all of the assets of, such Restricted  Subsidiary;
provided  that (i) such sale or  disposition  of such Capital Stock or assets is
otherwise  in  compliance  with  the  terms  of this  Indenture  and  (ii)  such
assumption,  guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary has been
released by the holders of the other Indebtedness so guaranteed.

Section 4.17.     Provision of Security.

          The Company will not form,  acquire or maintain any direct  Restricted
Subsidiary (other than Kronos Chemie-GmbH and Kronos World Services,  S.A./N.V.,
so long as each such  company  shall have  gross  assets of less than $3 million
(net of  assets  contributed  thereto  for the  express  purposes  of  expunging
contingent liabilities), and any other direct Restricted Subsidiary having gross
assets  of less  than $1  million),  unless,  concurrently  with the  formation,
acquisition  or maintenance  of such  Subsidiary,  the Company shall execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Trustee or the Collateral
Agent for their  respective  benefit as Trustee or  Collateral  Agent or for the
benefit  of  Holders,  one or more  pledge  agreements,  in form  and  substance
reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Trustee  or the  Collateral  Agent  for  their
respective  benefit  as Trustee or  Collateral  Agent or for the  benefit of the
Holders,  pursuant  to which  not less  than  65% of the  Capital  Stock of such
Subsidiary  is  pledged  to  the  Trustee  or the  Collateral  Agent  for  their
respective  benefit  as Trustee or  Collateral  Agent or for the  benefit of the
Holders and the Company shall,  concurrently therewith,  execute and deliver all
documents,   instruments  and  agreements  in  form  and  substance   reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent for their respective benefit
as Trustee or  Collateral  Agent or for the  benefit of the  Holders  reasonably
necessary  in the  opinion  of the  Trustee  or the  Collateral  Agent for their
respective  benefit  as Trustee or  Collateral  Agent or for the  benefit of the
Holders to grant and maintain at all times a fully perfected  senior Lien on the
collateral pledged pursuant to such pledge agreements.

Section 4.18.     Limitation on Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries.

          The  Company  will not permit any of its  Restricted  Subsidiaries  to
issue any  Preferred  Stock  (other  than to the  Company  or to a Wholly  Owned
Restricted  Subsidiary  of the  Company)  or permit any Person  (other  than the
Company or a Wholly  Owned  Restricted  Subsidiary  of the  Company)  to own any
Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company.

Section 4.19.     Payments to the Collateral Agent.

          Notwithstanding  any other  provision of this  Indenture or the Notes,
the Company irrevocably and unconditionally  undertakes to pay to the Collateral
Agent,  as a  creditor  in its  own  right  and not as a  representative  of the
Holders,  sums equal to and in the currency of, its Primary  Obligations as when
the same fall due for payment under this  Indenture or the Notes (the  "Parallel
Obligations").

          The  rights  of  the  Holders  to  receive   payment  of  the  Primary
Obligations are several and separate and independent from, without prejudice to,
the  rights  of  the  Collateral  Agent  to  receive  payment  of  the  Parallel
Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right to demand
payment of the Parallel Obligations.

          The amounts due and payable by the  Company  under this  Section  4.19
shall be  decreased  to the extent  that the Company has paid any amounts to (i)
any Holder in respect of the Primary Obligations or (ii) to the Collateral Agent
in respect of the Parallel Obligations.

Section 4.20.     Corporate Existence.

          Except as otherwise  permitted  by Article V, the Company  shall do or
cause to be done all things  necessary  to  preserve  and keep in full force and
effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership or other existence
of each  of the  Restricted  Subsidiaries  in  accordance  with  the  respective
organizational  documents  of each  Restricted  Subsidiary  (as the  same may be
amended from time to time);  provided,  however,  that the Company  shall not be
required to preserve any such  corporate,  partnership or other existence of any
Restricted  Subsidiary if the Board of Directors of the Company shall  determine
that the  preservation  thereof  is no longer  desirable  in the  conduct of the
business of the Company and its Restricted  Subsidiaries,  taken as a whole, and
that the loss  thereof  would not  reasonably  be  expected  to have a  Material
Adverse Effect.

Section 4.21.     Compliance with Laws.

          The  Company  shall  comply,  and shall  cause each of the  Restricted
Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders
and  restrictions  of the  European  Union,  any  state  that is a member of the
European  Union on the Issue Date, the United States,  any states  thereof,  the
District  of  Columbia  or  the  Kingdom  of  Norway  and  of  any  governmental
department,   commission,   board,  regulatory  authority,  bureau,  agency  and
instrumentality of the foregoing,  each to the extent applicable,  in respect of
the conduct of their respective businesses and the ownership of their respective
properties,  except  for  such  noncompliances  as  would  not in the  aggregate
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE V.

                                   SUCCESSORS

Section 5.1.      Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets.

          (1) The Company will not, in a single transaction or series of related
transactions,  consolidate  or merge with or into any Person,  or sell,  assign,

Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or
otherwise  dispose  of)  all  or  substantially  all  of  the  Company's  assets
(determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and the Company's Restricted
Subsidiaries)  whether as an  entirety  or  substantially  as an entirety to any
Person unless:

          (a) either:

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

          consolidation  or into which the Company is merged or the Person which
          acquires by sale,  assignment,  transfer,  lease,  conveyance or other
          disposition  the  properties  and  assets  of the  Company  and of the
          Company's  Restricted  Subsidiaries  substantially as an entirety (the
          "Surviving Entity"):

                    (A) shall be a corporation  organized  and validly  existing
               under the laws of the  United  States,  any state  thereof or the
               District of Columbia; and

                    (B) shall expressly  assume,  by supplemental  indenture (in
               form and substance  satisfactory  to the  Trustee),  executed and
               delivered  to the Trustee,  the due and  punctual  payment of the

               Indenture and the  Registration  Rights  Agreement on the part of
               the Company to be performed or observed;

          (b)  immediately  after  giving  effect  to such  transaction  and the
     assumption  contemplated  by  Section  5.1(1)(a)(ii)(B)  (including  giving
     effect  to  any   Indebtedness  and  Acquired   Indebtedness   incurred  or
     anticipated  to be  incurred  in  connection  with  or in  respect  of such
     transaction), the Company or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be, (a)
     shall  have  a  Consolidated  Net  Worth  equal  to  or  greater  than  the
     Consolidated Net Worth of the Company immediately prior to such transaction
     and (b) shall be able to incur at least  $1.00 of  additional  Indebtedness
     (other than Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to Section 4.9;

          (c)  immediately  before and  immediately  after giving effect to such
     transaction  and the assumption  contemplated  by Section  5.1(1)(a)(ii)(B)
     (including,  without  limitation,  giving  effect to any  Indebtedness  and
     Acquired  Indebtedness  incurred or anticipated to be incurred and any Lien
     granted in connection with or in respect of the transaction), no Default or
     Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing; and

          (d) the Company or the  Surviving  Entity shall have  delivered to the
     Trustee an Officers'  Certificate  and an Opinion of Counsel,  each stating
     that  such  consolidation,   merger,  sale,  assignment,  transfer,  lease,
     conveyance  or  other  disposition  and,  if a  supplemental  indenture  is
     required in connection with such transaction,  such supplemental  indenture
     comply  with  the  applicable  provisions  of this  Indenture  and that all
     conditions  precedent in this Indenture  relating to such  transaction have
     been satisfied.

          (2) For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment,
sale or otherwise,  in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or
substantially  all of the  properties  or  assets  of  one  or  more  Restricted
Subsidiaries  of the  Company,  the Capital  Stock of which  constitutes  all or
substantially  all of the properties and assets of the Company,  shall be deemed
to be the transfer of all or  substantially  all of the properties and assets of
the Company.

          (3)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  neither  the  Company  nor  any
Subsidiary will consolidate or merge with NL Industries.

          (4) Each Guarantor  (other than any Guarantor whose Guarantee is to be
released in accordance  with the terms of the  Guarantee  and this  Indenture in
connection with any transaction complying with the provisions of Section 4.10 of
this Indenture) will not, and the Company will not cause or permit any Guarantor
to,  consolidate with or merge with or into any Person other than the Company or
any other Guarantor unless:

          (a) the entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
     (if other than the Guarantor) or to which such sale,  lease,  conveyance or
     other  disposition  shall  have been made is a  corporation  organized  and
     existing under the laws of the European  Union,  any state that is a member
     of the  European  Union on the Issue  Date,  the United  States,  any State
     thereof, the District of Columbia or the Kingdom of Norway;

          (b)  such  entity  assumes  by  supplemental   indenture  all  of  the
     obligations of the Guarantor on the Guarantee;

          (c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or
     Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

          (d) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the use of
     any net proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the Company (i) shall have

     Worth of the Company  immediately  prior to such transaction and (ii) shall
     be able to incur at least  $1.00 of  additional  Indebtedness  (other  than
     Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to Section 4.9 of this Indenture.

          (5) Any  merger  or  consolidation  of a  Guarantor  with and into the

Person  formed by such  consolidation  or into which the Company is merged or to
which  such  conveyance,  lease or  transfer  is made shall  succeed  to, and be
substituted  for, and may exercise  every right and power of, the Company  under
this  Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such  surviving  entity
had been named as such.

                                  ARTICLE VI.

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.1.      Events of Default.

          Each of the following constitutes an "Event of Default":

          (1) the failure to pay  interest on any Note when the same becomes due
     and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

          (2) the failure to pay the principal of any Note,  when such principal
     becomes  due  and  payable,  at  maturity,  upon  redemption  or  otherwise
     (including  the  failure  to make a  payment  to  purchase  Notes  tendered
     pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer);

          (3) a default in the  observance or  performance of any other covenant
     or agreement  contained in this  Indenture or any Security  Document  which
     default  continues  for a period  of 45 days  after  the  Company  receives
     written  notice  specifying the default (and demanding that such default be
     remedied)  from  the  Trustee  or  the  Holders  of at  least  25%  of  the
     outstanding  principal amount of the Notes (except in the case of a default
     with respect to Section 5.1 of this  Indenture,  which will  constitute  an
     Event of Default with such notice  requirement  but without such passage of
     time requirement);

          (4) the failure to pay at final  maturity  (after giving effect to any
     applicable  grace periods and any extensions  thereof) the principal amount
     of any  Indebtedness  of the Company or any  Restricted  Subsidiary  of the
     Company,  or the  acceleration  of the final  stated  maturity  of any such
     Indebtedness  (which  acceleration is not rescinded,  annulled or otherwise
     cured  within  20  days  of  receipt  by the  Company  or  such  Restricted
     Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration),  if the aggregate principal
     amount of such  Indebtedness,  together  with the  principal  amount of any
     other such  Indebtedness  in default for failure to pay  principal at final
     maturity or which has been  accelerated (in each case with respect to which
     the 20-day period  described above has elapsed),  aggregates $20 million or
     more at any time;

          (5) the repudiation by the Company of any of its obligations under any
     Security Document, or the unenforceability of any Security Document against
     the  Company,  if such  unenforceability  reasonably  would be  expected to
     result in a material  adverse  effect on the Liens  granted by the  Company
     pursuant to such Security Documents;

          (6) one or more  judgments  in an  aggregate  amount  in excess of $20
     million  shall  have  been  rendered  against  the  Company  or  any of its
     Restricted  Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged,  unpaid or
     unstayed for a period of 60 days after such  judgment or  judgments  become
     final and non-appealable;

          (7) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company:

               (a) commences a voluntary case under any Bankruptcy Law,

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

               (c) consents to the  appointment of a custodian or receiver of it
          or for all or substantially all of its property,

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

               (e)  admits in  writing  its  inability  to pay its debts as they
          become due; or

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

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

               (b)  appoints  a  custodian  or  receiver  of the  Company or any
          Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property
          of any of the foregoing; or

               (c)  orders  the  liquidation  of  the  Company  or  any  of  its
          Significant Subsidiaries;

          and  the  order  or  decree  remains  unstayed  and in  effect  for 60
     consecutive days.

Section 6.2.      Acceleration.

          If any Event of Default  (other than an Event of Default  specified in
clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.1 of this  Indenture with respect to the Company)
shall  occur and be  continuing,  the  Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the then outstanding  Notes by written notice to the Company
(and the  Trustee,  if such  notice is given by such  Holders)  may  declare the
principal of and accrued and unpaid  interest on the Notes to be due and payable
immediately,  which notice shall  specify the  respective  Events of Default and
that it is a "Notice of  Acceleration".  Upon any such  declaration,  the entire
principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if
any, on the Notes shall become immediately due and payable.

          Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if an Event of Default  specified in
clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.1 of this  Indenture  with respect to the Company
occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and
accrued  and unpaid  interest on all of the  outstanding  Notes 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.

          The Holders of a majority in principal  amount of the then outstanding
Notes by written  notice to the Company  and the  Trustee  may, on behalf of the
Holders  of all of the  Notes,  rescind  and  cancel  such  declaration  and its
consequences:

          (1) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

          (2) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except
     nonpayment of principal or interest  that has become due solely  because of
     the acceleration;

          (3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful,  interest on
     overdue  installments of interest and overdue  principal,  which has become
     due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

          (4) if the Company has paid the  Trustee its  reasonable  compensation
     and  reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses,  disbursements  and advances;
     and

          (5) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of  Default  of the
     type described in Section 6.1(6) of this Indenture,  the Trustee shall have
     received an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event
     of Default has been cured or waived.

          No such  rescission  shall affect any  subsequent  Default or Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.3.      Other Remedies.

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

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding  even if it does not possess any
of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding, and any recovery
or  judgment   shall,   after  provision  for  the  payment  of  the  reasonable
compensation,  expenses,  disbursements and advances of the Trustee,  its agents
and counsel,  be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes. A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing
upon an Event of Default  shall not impair the right or remedy or  constitute  a
waiver of or acquiescence  in the Event of Default.  All remedies are cumulative
to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.4.      Waiver of Past Defaults.

          The Holders of a majority in  principal  amount of the Notes may waive
any existing or past Default or Event of Default under this  Indenture,  and its
consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on
any Notes.  Upon any such  waiver,  such Default  shall cease to exist,  and any
Event of Default arising  therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture;  but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.5.      Control by Majority.

          Holders  of a majority  in  principal  amount of the then  outstanding
Notes may direct the time,  method and place of conducting  any  proceeding  for
exercising any remedy  available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on it.  However,  the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction  that
conflicts with  applicable  law or this  Indenture  that the Trustee  reasonably
determines may be unduly  prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or
that may subject the Trustee to personal  liability and shall be entitled to the
benefit of Sections 7.1(3)(c) and 7.1(5) of this Indenture.

Section 6.6.      Limitation on Suits.

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

          (1) the  Holder of a Note  gives to the  Trustee  written  notice of a
     continuing  Event of Default  (other than an Event of Default  specified in
     Section 6.1(7) or 6.1(8));

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

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

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

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

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

          Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if an Event of Default  specified in
clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.1 of this  Indenture  with respect to the Company
occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and
accrued  and unpaid  interest on all of the  outstanding  Notes 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.

Section 6.7.      Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

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

Section 6.8.      Collection Suit by Trustee.

          If an Event of Default  specified in Section  6.l(1) or (2) occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and
as trustee of an express  trust  against  the  Company  for the whole  amount of
principal of, premium and Additional  Interest,  if any, and interest  remaining
unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful,
interest and Additional  Interest,  if any, and such further amounts as shall be
sufficient  to cover  the  costs  and  expenses  of  collection,  including  the
reasonable compensation, expense, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel.

Section 6.9.      Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

          The  Trustee  is  authorized  to file  such  proofs of claim and other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable  compensation,  expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee,  its agents  (including  accountants,
experts or such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or
appropriate)  and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes  allowed in any judicial
proceedings  relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes),  its
creditors  or its  property  and shall be  entitled  and  empowered  to collect,
receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any
such  claims,  and any  custodian  in any such  judicial  proceeding  is  hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event
that the Trustee shall  consent to the making of such  payments  directly to the
Holders,  to  pay to the  Trustee  any  amount  due  to it  for  the  reasonable
compensation,  expenses,  disbursements and advances of the Trustee,  its agents
and counsel,  and any other  amounts due the Trustee  under  Section 7.7 of this
Indenture.  To the extent that the payment of any such  compensation,  expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 of this Indenture out of the estate in
any such proceeding,  shall be denied for any reason,  payment of the same shall
be secured  by a lien on,  and shall be paid out of, any and all  distributions,
dividends,  money,  securities  and other  properties  that the  Holders  may be
entitled to receive in such proceeding  whether in liquidation or under any plan
of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any  Holder any plan of  reorganization,  arrangement,  adjustment  or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10.     Priorities.

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

          First:  to the Trustee,  its agents and attorneys,  and any Collateral
     Agent,  for amounts  due under  Section  7.7 of this  Indenture,  including
     payment of all  compensation,  expense and  liabilities  incurred,  and all
     advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

          Second:  to Holders of Notes for  amounts  due and unpaid on the Notes
     for principal, Purchase Price, Redemption Price and Additional Interest, if
     any, and  interest,  ratably,  without  preference or priority of any kind,
     according  to the  amounts  due and  payable  on the Notes  for  principal,
     Purchase  Price,  Redemption  Price and  Additional  Interest,  if any, and
     interest, respectively; and

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

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

Section 6.11.     Undertaking for Costs.

          In any suit for the  enforcement  of any  right or remedy  under  this
Indenture  or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as a Trustee,  a court in its  discretion may require the filing by any party
litigant  in the suit of an  undertaking  to pay the costs of the suit,  and the
court in its  discretion  may  assess  reasonable  costs,  including  reasonable
attorneys'  fees,  against any party litigant in the suit,  having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party  litigant.
This  Section  does  not  apply  to a suit by the  Trustee,  a suit by a  Holder
pursuant to Section 6.7 of this Indenture, or a suit by Holders of more than 10%
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE VII.

                                     TRUSTEE

Section 7.1.      Duties of Trustee.

          (1) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee
shall  exercise such 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 his own affairs.

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

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

          (b)  in the  absence  of  bad  faith  on its  part,  the  Trustee  may
     conclusively rely, without investigation, as to the truth or the statements
     and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon and statements,
     certificates  or opinions  furnished to the Trustee and  conforming  to the
     requirements  of this  Indenture.  However,  the Trustee  shall examine the
     certificates  and opinions  required to be  furnished to the Trustee  under
     this  Indenture to  determine  whether or not they conform on their face to
     the  requirements  of this  Indenture  but  need  not  confirm,  verify  or
     investigate  the accuracy of any  mathematical  calculations or other facts
     stated therein.

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

          (a) this  paragraph  (3) does not limit the effect of paragraph (2) of
     this Section 7.1;

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

          (c) 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 6.5 of this Indenture.

          (4) Whether or not therein  expressly so provided,  every provision of
this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to this Section
7.1.

          (5) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend
or risk its own  funds or incur any  liability.  The  Trustee  shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this  Indenture at the
request  or  direction  of any  Holders,  pursuant  to the  provisions  of  this
Indenture,  including, without limitation, Section 6.5, unless such Holder shall
have offered to the Trustee  security and indemnity  satisfactory  to it against
any loss,  liability or expense which might be incurred by it in compliance with
such request or direction.

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

Section 7.2.      Rights of Trustee.

          (1) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting
or refraining from acting 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 such document.

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

          (3) The Trustee may act through its  attorneys,  accountants,  experts
and such other  professionals  as the  Trustee  deems  necessary,  advisable  or
appropriate and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any
attorney, accountant, expert or other such professional appointed with due care.

          (4) The  Trustee  shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith that it believes to be  authorized or within the rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

          (5) Unless  otherwise  specifically  provided in this  Indenture,  any
demand,  request,  direction  or notice from the Company  shall be  sufficiently
evidenced by a written order signed by two Officers of the Company.

          (6) The Trustee shall not be charged with  knowledge of any Default or
Event of Default under Section 6.1 of this  Indenture  (other than under Section
6.1(1) (subject to the following  sentence) or Section 6.1(2) of this Indenture)
unless either (i) a Responsible  Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof, or
(ii) the Trustee shall have received  notice thereof in accordance  with Section
13.2 of this Indenture from the Company or any Holder of the Notes, which notice
specifically  references  the  Notes.  The  Trustee  shall not be  charged  with
knowledge  of the  Company's  obligation  to  pay  Additional  Interest,  or the
cessation of such obligation, unless the Trustee receives written notice thereof
from the Company or any Holder.

          (7) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation  into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution,  certificate,  statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request,  directions,  consent, order, bond, debenture,
note,  other  evidence  of  indebtedness  or other  paper or  document,  but the
Trustee, in its discretion,  may make such further inquiry or investigation into
such facts or matters as it may see fit.

          (8) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given
to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its rights to be indemnified, are
extended to, and shall be enforceable  by, the Trustee in each of its capacities
hereunder.

          (9) The  Trustee may request  that the  Company  deliver an  Officers'
Certificate  setting  forth the names of  individuals  and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified  actions  pursuant to this  Indenture,
which Officers'  Certificate  may be signed by any Person  authorized to sign an
Officers'  Certificate,  including any Person  specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

Section 7.3.      Individual Rights of Trustee.

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

Section 7.4.      Trustee's Disclaimer.

          The Trustee shall not be responsible  for and makes no  representation
as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture,  or the Notes, it shall not be
accountable  for the  Company's  use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money
paid to the Company or upon the Company's  direction under any provision of this
Indenture,  it shall not be responsible  for the use or application of any money
received  by any  Paying  Agent  other  than the  Trustee,  and it shall  not be
responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or
any other document in connection  with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this
Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.5.      Notice of Defaults.

          If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
shall  mail to  Holders  of Notes a notice of the  Default  or Event of  Default
within 90 days  after it  occurs.  Except in the case of a Default in payment on
any Note (including the failure to make a mandatory  purchase  pursuant hereto),
the  Trustee  may  withhold  the  notice  if and so long as a  committee  of its
Responsible  Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in
the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.6.      Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

          Within 60 days after each April 1  beginning  with April 1, 2007,  and
for so long as Notes remain  outstanding,  the Trustee shall mail to the Holders
of the Notes a brief report dated as of such  reporting  date that complies with
TIA ss. 313(a) (but if no event  described in TIA ss. 313(a) has occurred within
the  twelve  (12)  months  preceding  the  reporting  date,  no  report  need be
transmitted).  The Trustee  also shall comply with TIA ss.  313(b).  The Trustee
shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA ss. 313(c).

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

Section 7.7.      Compensation, Reimbursement and Indemnity.

          The  Company  shall  pay  to  the  Trustee  from  time  to  time  such
compensation  as shall be agreed  upon by the  Company  and the  Trustee for its
acceptance of this  Indenture  and the rendering by it of the services  required
hereunder.  The  Trustee's  compensation  shall  not be  limited  by any  law on
compensation  of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company shall reimburse the
Trustee  promptly upon request for all reasonable  out-of-pocket  disbursements,
advances and expenses  incurred or made by or on behalf of it in addition to the
compensation  for its  services.  Such  expenses  shall  include the  reasonable
compensation,   disbursements   and   expenses  of  the   Trustee's   attorneys,
accountants,  experts and such other  professionals  as the  Trustee  reasonably
deems necessary, advisable or appropriate.

          The Company shall indemnify the Trustee,  any predecessor  Trustee and
their officers,  employees and agents against any and all out-of-pocket  losses,
liabilities or expenses,  including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured
by or determined by the income of the Trustee)  incurred by it arising out of or
in connection  with the  acceptance or  administration  of its duties under this
Indenture (including its duties under Section 9.6 of this Indenture),  including
the  out-of-pocket  costs  and  expenses  of  enforcing  this  Indenture  or any
Guarantee  against the Company or a Guarantor  (including  this Section 7.7) and
defending  itself against or  investigating  any claim (whether  asserted by the
Company,  any  Guarantor,  any  Holder  or any other  Person)  or  liability  in
connection  with the  exercise  or  performance  of any of its  powers or duties
hereunder,  except to the  extent  any such loss,  liability  or expense  may be
attributable to its negligence or willful  misconduct.  The Trustee shall notify
the Company  promptly of any claim for which it may seek  indemnity.  Failure by
the  Trustee to so notify  the  Company  shall not  relieve  the  Company of its
obligations  hereunder.  The Company shall defend any claim or threatened  claim
asserted  against the Trustee,  and the Trustee shall  cooperate in the defense.
The Trustee shall have the right to employ  separate  counsel in any such action
proceeding and participate in the  investigation  and defense  thereof,  and the
Company shall pay the  reasonable  fees and expenses of such  separate  counsel;
provided,  however,  that the Trustee may only  employ  separate  counsel at the
expense of the  Company  if in the  reasonable  judgment  of the  Trustee  (i) a
conflict of interest exists by reason of common representation or (ii) there are
legal  defenses  available  to the  Trustee  that are  different  from or are in
addition  to  those  available  to  the  Company  or  if  all  parties  commonly
represented do not agree as to the action (or inaction) of counsel.  The Company
need not pay for any  settlement  made without its consent,  which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.

          The  obligations  of the Company  under this Section 7.7 shall survive
the  resignation or removal of the Trustee,  the  satisfaction  and discharge of
this Indenture and the termination of this Indenture.

          To secure the Company's  payment  obligations in this Section 7.7, the
Trustee  shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or  property  held or
collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, Redemption
Price or Purchase  Price of or  Additional  Interest,  if any,  or interest  on,
particular  Notes.  Such Lien shall  survive the  resignation  or removal of the
Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the termination of
this Indenture.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default  specified  in  Section  6.1(7)  or (8) of this  Indenture  occurs,  the
expenses and the compensation for the services  (including the fees and expenses
of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.8.      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 7.8.

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

          (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 of this Indenture;

          (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  custodian,  receiver  or  public  officer  takes  charge of the
     Trustee or its property for the purpose of rehabilitation,  conversation or
     liquidation; or

          (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

          If a successor  Trustee does not take office  within 30 days after the
retiring trustee resigns or is removed,  the retiring Trustee,  the Company,  or
the Holders of Notes of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may petition any court of competent  jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

          If the Trustee,  after written request by any Holder of a Note who has
been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months, fails to
comply  with  Section  7.10,  such  Holder of a Note may  petition  any court of
competent  jurisdiction  for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

          A  successor  Trustee  shall  deliver  a  written  acceptance  of  its
appointment  to  the  retiring  Trustee  and  to  the  Company.  Thereupon,  the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become  effective,  and the
successor  Trustee  shall have all the rights,  powers and duties of the Trustee
under this  Indenture.  The  Company  shall mail a notice of its  succession  to
Holder of the Notes. The retiring  Trustee shall promptly  transfer all property
held by it as Trustee to the successor  Trustee,  provided all sums owing to the
Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section
7.7 of this Indenture.  Notwithstanding  replacement of the Trustee  pursuant to
this Section 7.8, the Company's  obligations under Section 7.7 of this Indenture
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.9.      Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

          If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all
or  substantially  all of its corporate  trust business to, another  corporation
that is eligible under Section 7.10 of this Indenture, the successor corporation
without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10.     Eligibility; Disqualification.

          There shall at all times be a Trustee  hereunder that is a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state
thereof  (including the District of Columbia) that is authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust power, that is subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state  authorities and that has a combined  capital and surplus of
at least $100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition.

          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).

Section 7.11.     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).  A  Trustee  who has  resigned  or been
removed shall be subject to TIA ss. 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

Section 7.12.     Concerning the Trustee and the Collateral.

          The Trustee  shall have no duty to act outside of the United States or
the United  Kingdom in respect  of any  Collateral  located in the  jurisdiction
other than the United States or the United Kingdom  ("Foreign  Collateral")  but
shall at the specific request of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes or the Company appoint a Person or Persons to act on behalf of the Holders
with respect to such Foreign  Collateral.  Such qualified  Person or Persons and
the Trustee shall,  provided the same are reasonably  acceptable to the Trustee,
enter  into  a  collateral  assignment  pledge  agreement,  mortgage,  enforcing
document or other security  agreement  relating to the Lien or Security Interest
in such item of Foreign  Collateral  pursuant  to which  such  Person or Persons
shall  exercise  the rights  and  remedies  of the  Trustee  and  Holders in the
Collateral for their respective benefit.  The duties and responsibilities of the
Trustee with respect to any Person or Persons and any  Collateral are limited to
those set forth in this Article VII.

          Both before and after an Event of Default,  the Trustee  shall have no
duty to supervise or monitor such Collateral  Agent or its  performance,  and no
liability for any acts or omissions of such Collateral Agent;  provided that (x)
if  a  Responsible  Officer  has  actual  knowledge  of  willful  misconduct  or
negligence of such  Collateral  Agent,  the Trustee may replace such  Collateral
Agent with a  successor  Collateral  Agent  which it may appoint and (y) (i) the
Trustee shall satisfy itself that any instructions  given by the Trustee to such
Collateral  Agent have been  carried  out;  (ii) the Trustee  shall give to such
Collateral  Agent such  instructions  to make effective the Liens granted by the
Collateral  Documents  as the Company may request or, if an Event of Default has
occurred,  as shall  be  stated  to be  necessary  in the  Opinions  of  Counsel
furnished pursuant to Section 11.2 of this Indenture with respect to the Foreign
Collateral  with  respect to which any such  Collateral  Agent is acting and the
Liens granted  therein;  (iii) the Trustee shall give notice to such  Collateral
Agent of any  Event  of  Default  of  which a  Responsible  Officer  has  actual
knowledge;  and  (iv)  the  Trustee  may,  but  has no  obligation  to,  request
information  from such  Collateral  Agent with respect to realization on Foreign
Collateral.

Section 7.13.     Appointment of Co-Trustee.

          It is the purpose of this  Indenture  that there shall be no violation
of any law of any  jurisdiction  denying  or  restricting  the right of  banking
corporations  or   associations   to  transact   business  as  trustee  in  such
jurisdiction.  It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture,
and in particular in case of the enforcement  thereof on default, or in the case
the  Trustee  deems  that  by  reason  of  any  present  or  future  law  of any
jurisdiction  it may not exercise any of the powers,  rights or remedies  herein
granted  to the  Trustee or hold title to the  properties,  in trust,  as herein
granted or take any action which may be  desirable  or  necessary in  connection
therewith,  it may be  necessary  that the  Trustee  appoint  an  individual  or
institution  as a separate  or  co-trustee.  The  following  provisions  of this
Section 7.13 are adopted to these ends.

          In the event that the Trustee  appoints an  additional  individual  or
institution as a separate or co-trustee,  each and every remedy,  power,  right,
claim,  demand,  cause of action,  immunity,  estate,  title,  interest and lien
expressed  or  intended by this  Indenture  to be  exercised  by or vested in or
conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in
such  separate or  co-trustee  but only to the extent  necessary  to enable such
separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and only to
the extent  that the Trustee by the laws of any  jurisdiction  is  incapable  of
exercising  such powers,  rights and remedies and every covenant and obligations
necessary to the exercise  thereof by such separate or  co-trustee  shall run to
and be enforceable by either of them.

          Should any  instrument  in writing from the Company be required by the
separate or  co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties,  rights, powers, trusts,
duties  and  obligations,  any and all such  instruments  in writing  shall,  on
reasonable  request,  be executed,  acknowledged  and  delivered by the Company;
provided, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,  if
the Company does not execute any such instrument  within fifteen (15) days after
request therefor,  the Trustee shall be empowered as an attorney-in-fact for the
Company to execute any such  instrument  in the Company's  name and stead,  such
power to be effective  for only such  continuance  of such Event of Default.  In
case any  separate or  co-trustee  or a successor  to either  shall die,  become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties,  rights,
powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate or co-trustee, so far as
permitted  by law,  shall  vest in and be  exercised  by the  Trustee  until the
appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate or co-trustee.

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

          (1) all rights and powers, conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall
     be  conferred  or imposed  upon and may be  exercised  or performed by such
     separate trustee or co-trustee; and

          (2) no trustee  hereunder shall be personally  liable by reason of any
     act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.

     Any notice,  request or other  writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed
to have been given to each of the then  separate  trustees and  co-trustees,  as
effectively  as if  given  to each of  them.  Every  instrument  appointing  any
separate  trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions
of this Article.

     Any separate  trustee or co-trustee  may at any time appoint the Trustee as
its agent or attorney-in-fact  with full power and authority,  to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on
its behalf and in its name.  If any separate  trustee or  co-trustee  shall die,
become  incapable  of  acting,  resign  or  be  removed,  all  of  its  estates,
properties,  rights,  remedies  and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee,  to the extent  permitted by law,  without the  appointment of a new or
successors trustee.

Section 7.14.     Trustee Not Liable for Losses or Damages.

          Anything in this  Indenture  to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  in no
event shall the Trustee be liable under or in connection with this Indenture for
indirect,  special,  incidental,  punitive or consequential losses or damages of
any kind whatsoever,  including but not limited to lost profits,  whether or not
foreseeable, even if the Trustee has been advised of the possibility thereof and
regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought.

                                 ARTICLE VIII.

                    LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.1.      Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

          The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors  evidenced by
a resolution set forth in an Officers'  Certificate,  at any time, elect to have
either Section 8.2 or 8.3 of this Indenture be applied to all outstanding  Notes
upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

Section 8.2.      Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

          Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.1 of this Indenture of the
option  applicable to this Section 8.2, the Company and, if any, the Guarantors,
shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 of
this Indenture,  be deemed to have been discharged from their  obligations  with
respect to all outstanding  Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter,  "Legal Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance
means that the Company  shall be deemed to have paid and  discharged  the entire
Indebtedness  represented by the outstanding  Notes,  which shall  thereafter be
deemed to the  "outstanding"  only for the purposes of Section 8.5 and the other
Sections of this Indenture  referred to in clauses (1) through (2) below, and to
have  satisfied all its other  obligations  under such Notes and this  Indenture
(and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,  shall execute
proper instruments  acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions
which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

          (1) the  rights of  Holders  to  receive  payments  in  respect of the
     principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments
     are due;

          (2) the  Company's  obligations  with respect to the Notes  concerning
     issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated,  destroyed, lost
     or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payments;

          (3) the rights,  powers,  trust,  duties and immunities of the Trustee
     and the Company's obligations in connection therewith; and

          (4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Article VIII.

          Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise
its option  under this Section 8.2,  notwithstanding  the prior  exercise of its
option under Section 8.3 of this Indenture.

Section 8.3.      Covenant Defeasance.

          Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.1 of this Indenture of the
option  applicable  to this Section 8.3, the  Company,  the  Guarantors  and the
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions  set forth in Section 8.4 of this  Indenture,  be  released  from its
obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 4.3, 4.5,
4.7 through 4.18 of this Indenture,  inclusive,  and Section 5.1 with respect to
the  outstanding  Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter,  "Covenant Defeasance"),  and the Notes shall thereafter
be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,  waiver,  consent
or  declaration  or Act of Holders  (and the  consequences  of any  thereof)  in
connection  with such covenants,  but shall continue to be deemed  "outstanding"
for all other purposes  hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not
be deemed  outstanding  for  accounting  purposes).  For this purpose,  Covenant
Defeasance  means that, with respect to the outstanding  Notes,  the Company may
omit to  comply  with and  shall  have no  liability  in  respect  of any  term,
condition or  limitation  set forth in any such  covenant,  whether  directly or
indirectly,  by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or
by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or
in any other  document,  and such  omission  to comply  shall not  constitute  a
Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1 of this Indenture,  but, except
as specified  above,  the  remainder of this  Indenture  and such Notes shall be
unaffected thereby.  In addition,  upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.1
of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.4, Sections 6.1(3),  and 6.1(5) through 6.1(8)
of this Indenture shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.4.      Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

          The  following  are the  conditions  precedent to the  application  of
either Section 8.2 or 8.3 of this Indenture to the outstanding Notes:

          In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

          (1) the Company must irrevocably  deposit with the Trustee,  in trust,
     for the benefit of the Holders cash in Euros or Government Securities, or a
     combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient,  in the opinion
     of a nationally  recognized firm of independent public accountants,  to pay
     the principal of, premium,  if any, and interest on the Notes on the stated
     date for payment thereof or on the applicable  redemption date, as the case
     may be,  and,  in the event  that the  Trustee at any time  determines  the
     amount on deposit is insufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any,
     and interest on the Notes on the stated date for payment  thereof or on the
     applicable   redemption  date,  as  the  case  may  be,  the  Company  must
     irrevocably  deposit  with the  Trustee,  in trust,  for the benefit of the
     Holders additional cash in Euros or Government Securities, or a combination
     thereof,  in such  amounts  as will be,  together  with  prior  deposit(s),
     sufficient,  in the opinion of a nationally  recognized firm of independent
     public accountants,  to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
     on the Notes on the stated  date for payment  thereof or on the  applicable
     redemption date, as the case may be;

          (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance,  the Company shall have delivered
     to the  Trustee an Opinion  of  Counsel  in the  United  States  reasonably
     acceptable  to the Trustee  confirming  that the Holders 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;

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

          (4) no  Default  or  Event  of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and be
     continuing  on the date of such  deposit  (other than a Default or Event of
     Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit
     and the  granting of Liens to secure such  borrowing  and such  deposit) or
     insofar as Events of  Default  from  bankruptcy  or  insolvency  events are
     concerned,  at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date
     of deposit;

          (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a
     breach or violation of, or constitute a default  under,  this  Indenture or
     any other  material  agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of
     its  Subsidiaries  is a  party  or by  which  the  Company  or  any  of its
     Subsidiaries is bound (other than a breach,  violation or default resulting
     from the  borrowing  of  funds to be  applied  to such  borrowing  and such
     deposit and the granting of Liens to secure such deposit);

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

          (7) the  Company  shall have  delivered  to the  Trustee an  Officers'
     Certificate  and an Opinion of Counsel,  each stating  that all  conditions
     precedent  specified  in this  Indenture  providing  for or relating to the
     Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

          (8) the  Company  shall have  delivered  to the  Trustee an Opinion of
     Counsel to the effect that:

               (a) either (i) the Company has  irrevocably  assigned  all of its
          ownership  interest  in the  trust  funds to the  Trustee  or (ii) the
          Trustee has a valid perfected security interest in the trust fund; and

               (b) assuming no intervening bankruptcy of the Company between the
          date of deposit  and the 91st day  following  the date of deposit  and
          that no  Holder  is an  insider  of the  Company,  after  the 91st day
          following the date of deposit,  the trust funds will not be subject to
          avoidance as a  preference  under  Section 547 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy
          Code.

          Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  Opinion of Counsel  required by
clause (2) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all
Notes not theretofore  delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become
due and payable or (2) will become due and payable on the  maturity  date within
one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice
of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

Section 8.5.  Deposited  Money and  Government  Securities  to Be Held in Trust;
              Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

          Subject to Section  8.6 of this  Indenture,  all money and  Government
Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other
qualifying  trustee,  collectively  for purposes of this  Section 8.5 only,  the
"Trustee")  pursuant  to  Section  8.4  of  this  Indenture  in  respect  of the
outstanding  Notes  shall  be held in  trust  and  applied  by the  Trustee,  in
accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either  directly or through  any Paying  Agent  (other than the  Company) as the
Trustee  may  determine,  to the  Holders  of such  Notes of all sums due and to
become  due  thereon  in  respect  of  principal  or  Redemption  Price of,  and
Additional Interest, if any, interest on, the Notes, that such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

          The Company shall pay and  indemnify the Trustee  against any tax, fee
or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities
deposited  pursuant  to  Section  8.4 of this  Indenture  or the  principal  and
interest  received  in respect  thereof  other  than any such tax,  fee or other
charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

          Anything in this  Article VIII to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  the
Trustee  shall  deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request
of the  Company  any money or  Government  Securities  held by it as provided in
Section 8.4 of this Indenture  which, in the opinion of a nationally  recognized
firm of  independent  public  accountants  expressed in a written  certification
thereof  delivered  to the  Trustee  (which may be the opinion  delivered  under
Section  8.4(a) of this  Indenture),  are in excess of the amount  thereof  that
would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent  Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.6.      Repayment to the Company.

          Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Company,  in trust for the payment of the principal,  Redemption Price or
Purchase Price of, or Additional Interest,  if any, or interest on any Notes and
remaining  unclaimed  for two (2) years  after  such  amount  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 Notes shall
thereafter look only to the Company for payment  thereof as a general  creditor,
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,  at the expense of the Company, if required
by  applicable  law shall cause to be published  once, in The New York Times and
The Wall Street Journal  (national  editions) and, so long as the Series B Notes
are admitted to the Official  List of the  Luxembourg  Stock  Exchange and it is
required  by the  rules  of the  Luxembourg  Stock  Exchange,  shall  cause  the
publication  of such  notice in English in a leading  newspaper  having  general
circulation in Luxembourg  (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or, if
such publication is not practicable, in one other leading English language daily
newspaper  with general  circulation  in Europe,  notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than
30 days  after  the date of such  notification  or  publication,  any  unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.7.      Reinstatement.

          If the  Trustee  or  Paying  Agent is  unable  to apply  any  Euros or
Government  Securities in accordance  with Section 8.2 or 8.3 of this Indenture,
as the  case  may be,  by  reason  of any  order  of  judgment  of any  court or
governmental  authority  enjoining,  restraining or otherwise  prohibiting  such
application,  then the obligations of the Company under this Indenture,  and the
Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 8.2 or 8.3 of this Indenture until such time as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3
of this Indenture,  as the case may be; provided,  however, that, if the Company
makes any payment with respect to any Note  following the  reinstatement  of its
obligations,  the Company  shall be  subrogated  to the rights of the Holders of
such Notes to receive  such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent.

ARTICLE IX.

                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.1.      Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

          Notwithstanding  Section  9.2 of this  Indenture,  the Company and the
Trustee  (and,  in the case of the Security  Documents  to which the  Collateral
Agent is a party, the Collateral  Agent) may amend or supplement this Indenture,
the Security Documents or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

          (1) to cure any  ambiguity,  defect or  inconsistency  so long as such
     changes do not, in the opinion of the Trustee,  adversely affect the rights
     of any of the Holders in any material respect;

          (2) to provide for uncertificated  notes in addition to or in place of
     certificated Notes;

          (3) to provide for the assumption of the Company's  obligations to the
     Holders  of the Notes in the case of a merger or  consolidation  or sale of
     all or  substantially  all of the Company's assets pursuant to Article V of
     this Indenture;

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

          (5) to make any change  that would  provide any  additional  rights or
     benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely  affect the
     legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Notes in any material respect.

          Upon the request of the Company,  accompanied  by a resolution  of the
Board of Directors  (evidenced  by an  Officers'  Certificate)  authorizing  the
execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the  documents  described in Section  7.2(2) of this  Indenture,  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  affects  its own  rights,  duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.2.      With Consent of Holders of Notes.

          Except as  provided  below in this  Section  9.2,  the Company and the
Trustee  (and,  in the case of the Security  Documents  to which the  Collateral
Agent is a party, the Collateral  Agent) may amend or supplement this Indenture,
the Security Documents (including any amendments that provide for the release of
all or a portion  of the  Collateral  as set  forth  in,  and  subject  to,  the
conditions herein and in the Security  Documents) and the Notes with the consent
of the  Holders of at least a  majority  in  principal  amount of the Notes then
outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with
a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes),  and,  subject to Sections 6.2,
6.4 and 6.7 of this  Indenture,  any  existing  Default  or Event of  Default or
compliance  with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with
the  consent  of the  Holders  of a  majority  in  principal  amount of the then
outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for the Notes).

          Without the consent of each Holder  affected,  an  amendment or waiver
may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

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

          (3) reduce the  principal  of or change or have the effect of changing
     the fixed maturity of any Notes,  or change the date on which any Notes may
     be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price therefor;

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

          (5) make any change in provisions  of this  Indenture  protecting  the
     right of each Holder to receive  payment of  principal  of and  interest on
     such  Holder's  Note on or after the due date  thereof  or to bring suit to
     enforce  such  payment,  or  permitting  Holders of a majority in principal
     amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default;

          (6) after the Company's obligation to purchase Notes arises hereunder,
     amend,  change or modify in any  material  respect  the  obligation  of the
     Company to make and  consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a
     Change of Control or make and  consummate a Net Proceeds Offer with respect
     to any Asset  Sale  that has been  consummated  or,  after  such  Change of
     Control has occurred or such Asset Sale has been consummated, modify any of
     the provisions or definitions with respect thereto; or

          (7) modify or change any  provision  of this  Indenture or the related
     definitions  affecting  the ranking of the  Indebtedness  evidenced  by the
     Notes.

          Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of
the Board (evidenced by an Officers'  Certificate)  authorizing the execution of
any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee
of evidence  satisfactory  to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes
as  aforesaid,  and upon  receipt by the Trustee of the  documents  described in
Section 7.2(2) of this Indenture, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the
execution  of such  amended or  supplemental  indenture  unless such  amended or
supplemental  indenture  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.

          It shall not be  necessary  to obtain the  consent  of the  Holders of
Notes  under this  Section 9.2 to approve the  particular  form of any  proposed
amendment or waiver,  but it shall be  sufficient  if such consent  approves the
substance thereof.

          After an  amendment,  supplement  or waiver  under  this  Section  9.2
becomes  effective,  the  Company  shall mail to the  Holders of Notes  affected
thereby a notice briefly  describing the  amendment,  supplement or waiver.  Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice,  or any defect  therein,  shall not,
however,  in any way  impair or  affect  the  validity  of any such  amended  or
supplemental Indenture or waiver.

Section 9.3.      Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 9.4.      Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Section 9.5.      Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

Section 9.6.      Trustee to Sign Amendment, Etc.

          The  Trustee  shall  sign  any  amended  or   supplemental   indenture
authorized  pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement  does not
adversely affect the rights,  duties,  liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental  Indenture until the Board
of Directors approves such amendment or supplemental indenture. In executing any
amended or supplemental indenture,  the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, in
addition to the documents  required by Sections 13.4 and 13.5 of this Indenture,
and,  subject to Section  7.1,  shall be fully  protected  in relying  upon,  an
Officers'  Certificate  and an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the execution
of such amended or  supplemental  indenture is  authorized  or permitted by this
Indenture,  (ii) no Event of Default shall occur as a result of the execution of
such Officers'  Certificate or the delivery of such Opinion of Counsel and (iii)
the amended or supplemental indenture complies with the terms of this Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE X.

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

     provided in Section 2.7 and Notes for whose payment  money has  theretofore
     been  deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and
     thereafter  repaid to the Company or discharged  from such trust) have been
     delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

          (b)  all  Notes  not   theretofore   delivered   to  the  Trustee  for
     cancellation  have become due and  payable and the Company has  irrevocably
     deposited  or caused to be  deposited  with the Trustee  funds in an amount
     sufficient to pay and discharge  the entire  Indebtedness  on the Notes not

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

Company's obligations in Section 7.7 shall survive.

Section 10.2.     Application of Trust Money.

     All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.1 shall be held
in trust and,  at the written  direction  of the  Company,  be invested by or on

issued by a commercial  bank or banks having at least  $100,000,000 in undivided
capital  and  surplus,  and  applied  by the  Trustee  in  accordance  with  the
provisions of the Notes and this Indenture,  to the payment,  either directly or
through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine,  to the Persons  entitled
thereto,  of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for the payment of
which  money has been  deposited  with the  Trustee;  but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

                                  ARTICLE XI.

Section 11.3.     Release of Collateral.

          (1) The  Company  will have the right to obtain a release  of items of

          (3) The  Company  shall  also  have the right to  obtain  releases  of
Collateral pursuant to, and subject to, Section 9.2.

Section 11.4.     Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance.

          The Company  shall be entitled to obtain a full  release of all of the
Collateral  from the Lien of this  Indenture  and the  Security  Documents  upon
compliance with all of the conditions  precedent for  satisfaction and discharge
of this  Indenture  pursuant to Article X, for a defeasance  pursuant to Article
VIII or in accordance  with,  and subject to,  Section 9.2. Upon delivery by the
Company to the Trustee of an  Officers'  Certificate  and an Opinion of Counsel,
each to the effect that all of the conditions  precedent have been complied with
(which may be the same Officers'  Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by
Article VIII),  together with such documentation,  if any, as may be required by
this Indenture or the TIA (including  without  limitation,  TIA Section 3.14(d))
prior to the release of such  Collateral,  the Trustee  shall take all necessary
action, at the request and expense of the Company,  to release and reconvey,  or
to ensure that the Collateral  Agent shall release and reconvey,  to the Company
all of the  Collateral,  and shall deliver,  or shall  instruct  delivery by the
Collateral Agent of, such Collateral in its, or their, possession to the Company
including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of releases or waivers
whenever necessary.

Section 11.5.     Additional Collateral.

          The  Company  shall  grant to the  Trustee or any  Collateral  Agent a
Security  Interest in  additional  Collateral  pursuant to Section  4.17 of this
Indenture  or the  Security  Documents  and shall  deliver  to the  Trustee or a
Collateral Agent, as applicable, the following documents:

          (1) an  instrument  or  instruments  in  recordable  form or otherwise
proper form for the  applicable  jurisdiction  sufficient for the valid creation
and  perfection,  if applicable,  of a senior Lien of the Security  Documents to
cover and create a Security Interest in the additional Collateral; and

          (2)  Opinion(s)  of  Counsel  in  each   jurisdiction  in  which  such
Collateral is located  substantially  in the form of the local counsel  opinions
delivered on the date hereof and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to
the Trustee with respect to the documents  executed and delivered by the Company
and the Collateral encumbered thereby.

          Any such  additional  Collateral  shall be pledged to the Trustee or a
Collateral Agent,  directly or indirectly,  on behalf of all Holders pursuant to
the terms of this Indenture,  regardless of the enforceability of such pledge in
respect to any  specific  series of Notes  issued  under this  Indenture  or any
amendments or supplements hereto.

Section 11.6.     Trust Indenture Act Requirements.

          The  release of any  Collateral  pursuant to Article X or XI, from the
Lien of any of the  Security  Documents  or the release of, in whole or in part,
the Liens created by any of the Security Documents, will not be deemed to impair
the Security  Interests in contravention of the provisions  hereof if and to the
extent the Collateral or Liens are released pursuant to the applicable  Security
Documents and pursuant to the terms hereof.  The Trustee and each of the Holders
of the Notes  acknowledge  that a release of  Collateral  or Liens  strictly  in
accordance  with the terms of the Security  Documents  and the terms hereof will
not be deemed for any purpose to be an impairment  of the Security  Interests in
contravention of the terms of this Indenture. To the extent applicable,  without
limitation, the Company and the Guarantors, if any, on the Notes shall cause TIA
Section 314(d)  relating to the release of property or securities from the Liens
hereof and of the Security  Documents to be complied  with.  Any  certificate or
opinion required by TIA Section 314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Company,
except in cases in which TIA Section  314(d)  requires that such  certificate or
opinion be made by an independent Person.

Section  11.7.  Authorization  of  Actions  to be  Taken by the  Trustee  or the
                Collateral Agent Under the Security Documents.

          Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents:

          (a) The Trustee or a Collateral  Agent, as applicable may, in its sole
     discretion  and  without the  consent of the  Holders,  take all actions it
     deems  necessary or appropriate in order to (i) enforce any of the terms of
     the  Security  Documents  and (ii)  collect and receive any and all amounts
     payable in respect of the Obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, if
     any, hereunder and under the Security Documents; and

          (b) Each of the Trustee and the  Collateral  Agent shall have power to
     institute  and to  maintain  such  suits and  proceedings  as they may deem
     expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may
     be  unlawful  or in  violation  of any of the  Security  Documents  or this
     Indenture,  and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral
     Agent,  as  applicable,  may deem  expedient  to  preserve  or protect  its
     interests and the interests of the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee or the
     Collateral  Agent,  as applicable,  in the Collateral  (including  power to
     institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the  enforcement of
     or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or
     order that may be  unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement
     of, or  compliance  with,  such  enactment,  rule or order would impair the
     Security Interests or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the
     Notes, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable).

Section 11.8.     Release Upon Termination of the Company's Obligations.

          In the event that the Company  delivers an Officers'  Certificate  and
Opinion of Counsel  certifying  that its  obligations  under this Indenture have
been  satisfied and  discharged by complying  with the  provisions of Article X,
together with any documentation, if any, as may be required by this Indenture or
the TIA (including, without limitation, TIA Section 314(d)) prior to the release
of the Collateral, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (i)
execute and deliver such releases,  termination statements and other instruments
(in recordable form, where  appropriate) as the Company,  may reasonably request
evidencing  the  termination of the Security  Interests  created by the Security
Documents and (ii) not be deemed to hold the Security  Interests for its benefit
and the benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 11.9.     Intercreditor Agreement.

          Prior to, and as a condition  to, the  creation or  imposition  of any
consensual  Lien  (other than that in favor of the  Holders,  the Trustee or the
Collateral Agent) on the Collateral,  the Company,  the Trustee and the proposed
holder of such Lien will  enter  into an  intercreditor  agreement,  in form and
substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Trustee  and the  Company,  and the
Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into such intercreditor agreements.

Section 11.10. Limitation on Duty of Trustee and Collateral Agent of Collateral;
               Indemnification.

          (a) Beyond the  exercise of  reasonable  care in the custody  thereof,
neither  the  Trustee  nor the  Collateral  Agent  shall have any duty as to any
Collateral in its  possession or control or in the  possession or control of any
agent or bailee or any income  thereon or as to  preservation  of rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and neither the Trustee nor
the  Collateral   Agent  shall  be  responsible  for  filing  any  financing  or
continuation  statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public
office  at any  time  or  times  or  otherwise  perfecting  or  maintaining  the
perfection  of  any  security  interest  in  the  Collateral.  The  Trustee  and
Collateral  Agent  shall be  deemed  to have  exercised  reasonable  care in the
custody of the  Collateral  in its  possession  if the  Collateral  is  accorded
treatment  substantially  equal to that which it accords  its own  property  and
shall not be liable or  responsible  for any loss or  diminution in the value of
any of the  Collateral,  by  reason  of the  act  or  omission  of any  carrier,
forwarding  agency  or other  agent or bailee  selected  by the  Trustee  or the
Collateral Agent in good faith.

          (b) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral  Agent shall be responsible
for the  existence,  genuineness  or value of any of the  Collateral  or for the
validity,  perfection,  priority  or  enforceability  of the Liens in any of the
Collateral,  whether  impaired  by  operation  of law or by reason of any of any
action or  omission  to act on its part  hereunder,  except to the  extent  such
action or omission  constitutes  negligence,  bad faith or willful misconduct on
the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the validity
or  sufficiency  of the  Collateral  or any  agreement or  assignment  contained
therein,  for the  validity of the title of the Company to the  Collateral,  for
insuring the  Collateral or for the payment of taxes,  charges,  assessments  or
Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

          (c) The Company shall  indemnify the Collateral  Agent as set forth in
the Collateral Agency Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE XII.

                           APPLICATION OF TRUST MONIES

Section 12.1.     Collateral Account

          On the date of this Indenture  there shall be established  and, at all
times  hereafter  until this  Indenture  shall have  terminated,  there shall be
maintained with the Trustee a collateral account (the "Collateral Account"). The
Collateral  Account shall be  established  and  maintained by the Trustee at its
Corporate  Trust  Office.  All Trust Monies which are received by the Trustee or
the Collateral Agent shall be deposited in the Collateral Account and thereafter
shall be held by and under the sole  dominion and control of the Trustee for its
benefit and for the benefit of the Holders as a part of the Collateral and, upon
any sale or other  disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof pursuant to
any of the Security Documents,  said Trust Monies shall be applied in accordance
with Section 6.10; but prior to any such sale or other  disposition,  all or any
part of the  Trust  Monies  may be  withdrawn,  and shall be  released,  paid or
applied by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 12.2.     Investment of Trust Monies

          So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is  continuing,
all or any part of any Trust Monies held by the Trustee  shall from time to time
be  invested  or  reinvested  by the  Trustee in any Cash  Equivalents  upon the
Company's  written  request,  which shall specify the Cash  Equivalents in which
such Trust  Monies shall be invested  and shall  certify  that such  investments
constitute Cash  Equivalents and the Trustee shall sell any such Cash Equivalent
only  upon  receipt  of a  written  request  from  the  Company  specifying  the
particular Cash Equivalent to be sold. So long as no Event of Default occurs and
is continuing,  any interest or dividends  accrued,  earned or paid on such Cash
Equivalents (in excess of any accrued  interest or dividends paid at the time of
purchase)  that may be received by the Trustee  shall be  forthwith  paid to the
Company.  Such Cash  Equivalents  shall be held by the  Trustee as a part of the
Collateral,  subject  to the same  provisions  hereof  as the cash used by it to
purchase such Cash Equivalents.

          The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible  for any loss resulting
from such investments or sales except only for its own negligent action, its own
negligent  failure to act or its own willful  misconduct in complying  with this
Section 12.2.

                                 ARTICLE XIII.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

Section 13.1.     Trust Indenture Act Controls.

          If  any  provision  hereof  limits,  qualifies  or  conflicts  with  a
provision of the TIA or another provision that would be required or deemed under
such Act to be part of and govern this  Indenture if this Indenture were subject
thereto,  the latter provision shall control. 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 to be excluded, as the case may be.

          Upon any request or application by the Company and/or any Guarantor to
the Trustee to take any action  under this  Indenture,  the  Company  and/or any
Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee:

          (1)  an  Officers'   Certificate  in  form  and  substance  reasonably
     satisfactory  to the Trustee  (which shall include the statements set forth
     in Section  13.5 of this  Indenture)  stating  that,  in the opinion of the
     signers,  all conditions  precedent and covenants,  if any, provided for in
     this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been satisfied; and

ss. 314(e) and shall include:

          (1) a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has
     read such covenant or condition;

          (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
     investigation  upon which the  statements  or  opinions  contained  in such

Section  13.7.  No Personal  Liability of  Directors,  Officers,  Employees  and
                Stockholders.

          No past, present or future director, officer, employee,  incorporator,
agent or  stockholder  or  Affiliate  of the  Company,  as such,  shall have any
liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes,  this Indenture or
for any claim  based on, in respect  of, or by reason of,  such  obligations  or
their  creation.  No  past,  present  or  future  director,  officer,  employee,
incorporator,  agent or  stockholder or Affiliate of any of the  Guarantors,  as
such,  shall have any liability for any obligations of the Guarantors  under the
Guarantees,  this  Indenture  or for any claim  based on, in  respect  of, or by
reason  of,  such  obligations  or their  creation.  Each  Holder  of Notes  and
Guarantees  by  accepting a Note and a Guarantee  waives and  releases  all such
liabilities.  The waiver and release are part of the  consideration for issuance
of the Notes and the  Guarantees.  Such  waiver  may not be  effective  to waive
liabilities  under  the  federal  securities  law  and  it is  the  view  of the
Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

Section 13.8. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

          THIS INDENTURE,  THE GUARANTEES AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,  BUT  WITHOUT
GIVING  EFFECT TO  APPLICABLE  PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER  JURISDICTION  WOULD BE REQUIRED  THEREBY.
THE COMPANY AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY  IRREVOCABLY  SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION  OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN
THE CITY OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN
THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS  INDENTURE,  THE GUARANTEES AND THE NOTES,  AND  IRREVOCABLY
ACCEPTS   FOR   ITSELF  AND  IN  RESPECT   OF  ITS   PROPERTY,   GENERALLY   AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. THE COMPANY
AND  EACH  GUARANTOR  IRREVOCABLY  WAIVES,  TO THE  FULLEST  EXTENT  THAT IT MAY
EFFECTIVELY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT  FORUM.
NOTHING  HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE TRUSTEE OR ANY HOLDER OF THE NOTES
TO SERVE  PROCESS IN ANY OTHER  MANNER  PERMITTED  BY LAW OR TO  COMMENCE  LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS  OR OTHERWISE  PROCEED  AGAINST THE COMPANY OR ANY  GUARANTOR IN ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 13.9.     No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

          This Indenture may not be used to interpret any other indenture,  loan
or debt agreement of the Company or its Subsidiaries or of any other Person. Any
such  indenture,  loan or debt  agreement  may  not be  used to  interpret  this
Indenture.

Section 13.10.    Judgment Currency.

          The Company and the Guarantors,  if any, jointly and severally,  agree
to indemnify the Holders and each person, if any, who controls any Holder within
the meaning of Section 15 of the  Securities  Act or Section 20 of the  Exchange
Act against any loss incurred, as incurred, as a result of any judgment or award
against the Company or such Guarantor in connection  with this  Indenture  being
expressed  in a currency  (the  "Judgment  Currency")  other than Euros and as a
result of any  variation  as between  (i) the spot rate of exchange in London at
which the Judgment  Currency  could have been converted into Euro as of the date
such  judgment  or award is paid and (ii) the spot rate of exchange at which the
indemnified party converts such Judgment Currency;  provided,  however, that the
liability of the Company and the Guarantors,  if any, to the  indemnified  party
under this Section 13.10 shall be limited to that which would have arisen if the
indemnified  party had acted promptly to convert such judgment or award from the
Judgment  Currency  into Euros.  The  foregoing  indemnity  shall  constitute  a
separate and independent  obligation of the Company and the Guarantors,  if any,
and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or
order as aforesaid.  The term "spot rate of exchange" shall include any premiums
and costs of exchange  payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion
into, the relevant currency.

Section 13.11.    Successors.

          All  agreements  of the Company in this  Indenture and the Notes shall
bind their  successors.  All agreements of the Trustee in this  Indenture  shall
bind its successors.

Section 13.12.    Severability.

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

Section 13.13.    Counterpart Originals.

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

Section 13.14.    Table of Contents, Headings, Etc.

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

Section 13.15.    Qualification of Indenture.

          The Company shall qualify this  Indenture  under the TIA in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement and shall pay
all reasonable  out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including  attorneys' fees for
