          (c) Regulation S Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on
Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of the Legended Regulation S

Company ("DTC") in New York, New York, and registered in the name of the
Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated
agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the
Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Following the
termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Legended
Regulation S Global Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in
Unlegended Regulation S Global Notes pursuant to the Applicable Procedures.
Simultaneously with the authentication of Unlegended Regulation S Global Notes,
the Trustee shall cancel the Legended Regulation S Global Note. The aggregate
principal amount of the Regulation S Global Notes may from time to time be
increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the
Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of
interest as hereinafter provided.

          (d) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of
the "Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System" and "Terms and Conditions

Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication.

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

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

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

          The Company may, subject to Article Four of this Indenture and
applicable law, issue Additional Notes under this Indenture, including Exchange
Notes. The Notes issued on the Closing Date and any Additional Notes
subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under
this Indenture.

          The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by two
Officers of the Company (an "Authentication Order"), authenticate Notes for
original issue on the date hereof of $160 million. At any time and from time to
time after the execution of this Indenture, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of
an Authentication Order, authenticate Notes for original issue in aggregate
principal amount specified in such Authentication Order. The Authentication
Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on
which the Notes are to be authenticated.

          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the
Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes
whenever the Trustee may

                                       26

<PAGE>

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

Section 2.03. Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes.

          If a Holder of $1.0 million or more of Notes has given wire transfer
instructions to the Company, the Company shall pay all principal, interest and
premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on that Holder's Notes in accordance
with those instructions. All other payments on Notes shall be made at the office
or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New
York unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the
Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders.

Section 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent.

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

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

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

Section 2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

          The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes, and
shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such
payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment
over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or
one of its Subsidiaries 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.

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

Section 2.07. Transfer and Exchange.

          (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be
transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary,
by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the
Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary
or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes shall be exchanged
by the Company for Definitive Notes if (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee
notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as
Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the
Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; (ii)
the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole
but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written
notice to such effect to the Trustee; provided that in no event shall the
Legended Regulation S Global Note be exchanged by the Company for Definitive
Notes prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period; or (iii) there shall
have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to
the Notes. Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary
shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in
whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.08 and 2.11 hereof. Every Note
authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any
portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.07 or Section 2.08 or 2.11 hereof,
shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided
in this Section 2.07(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be
transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.07(b), (d) or (f) hereof.

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

          (i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.

<PAGE>

     accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private
     Placement Legend. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may
     be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a
     beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or
     instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect
     the transfers described in this Section 2.07(b)(i).

          (ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in
     Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial
     interests that are not subject to Section 2.07(b)(i) above, the transferor
     of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) a
     written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the
     Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the
     Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in
     another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be
     transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the
     Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant
     account to be credited with such increase or (B) (1) a written order from a
     Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in
     accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause
     to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial
     interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the
     Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in
     whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer
     or exchange referred to in (1) above; provided that in no event shall
     Definitive Notes be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial
     interests in the Legended Regulation S Global Note prior to the expiration
     of the Restricted Period. Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer by the
     Company in accordance with Section 2.07(f) hereof, the requirements of this
     Section 2.07(b)(ii) shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon receipt by
     the Registrar of the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal
     delivered by the holder of such beneficial interests in the Restricted
     Global Notes. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or
     exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this
     Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act,
     the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount at maturity of the relevant
     Global Notes pursuant to Section 2.07(i) hereof.

          (iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global
     Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be
     transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
     beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer
     complies with the requirements of Section 2.07(b)(ii) above and the
     Registrar receives the following:

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

          certifications in item (1) thereof; and

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

          transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto,
          including the certifications in item (2) thereof.

          certifies in the applicable Letter of Transmittal that it is not (1) a
          Person participating in the distribution of the Exchange Notes or (2)

               Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit C
               hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or

                    (2) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a

               including the certifications in item (4) thereof;

          and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (D), if the
          Registrar so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an
          Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to
          the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the
          Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein
          and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to
          maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

          If any such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (B) or (D)
above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the
Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance
with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more
Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to
subparagraph (B) or (D) above.

     charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes
     or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant

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

          (v) The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the
     transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the
     opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for

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

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

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

Section 2.09. Outstanding Notes.

          (a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated
by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the
Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this
Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, a Note
does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of
the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section
3.07(b) hereof.

          (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases
to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

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

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

Section 2.10. Treasury Notes.

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

Section 2.11. Temporary Notes.

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

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

Section 2.12. 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

                                       40

<PAGE>

surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or
cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its
procedures for the disposition of canceled securities in effect as of the date
of such disposition (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange
Act). Certification of the disposition of all canceled Notes shall be delivered
to the Company from time to time upon written request. The Company may not issue
new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest.

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

Section 2.14. CUSIP Numbers.

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

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee.

          If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee,

Officers' Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to
which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal
amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

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

          (b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the
Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount at maturity thereof to be redeemed. No Notes in
amounts of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notes and portions of Notes
selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that
if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding
amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be
redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this
Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of
Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

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

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

          (i) the redemption date;

          (ii) the redemption price (including the Applicable Premium, if any);

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

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

          (v) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying
     Agent to collect the redemption price and become due on the date fixed for
     redemption;

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

                                       42

<PAGE>

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

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

          (b) At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; provided, however, that the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the
redemption date, an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such
notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided
in the preceding paragraph. The notice, if mailed in the manner provided herein
shall be presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such
notice.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

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

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

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

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

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part.

          Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall
issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the
Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the
Note surrendered. No Notes in denominations of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed
in part.

(including Additional Notes, if any, issued subsequent to the Closing Date) at a
redemption price equal to 111.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the redemption date, with
the net cash proceeds of one or more offerings of Capital Stock (other than

the common equity capital, of the Company); provided that (A) at least 75% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding immediately after
the occurrence of such redemption, excluding Notes held by the Company and its
Subsidiaries; and (B) the redemption must occur within 90 days of the date of

          (c) In addition, at any time prior to September 1, 2007, the Company

respective Notes (a "Repurchase

                                       44

<PAGE>

Offer"), it shall follow the procedures specified in such Sections and, to the
extent not inconsistent therewith, the procedures specified below.

          The Repurchase Offer shall remain open for a period of no less than 30
days and no more than 90 days following its commencement, except to the extent
that a longer period is required by applicable law (the "Offer Period"). No
later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the
"Purchase Date"), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes
required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.14 hereof (the "Offer
Amount") or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered
in response to the Repurchase Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be
made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

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

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

          (i) that the Repurchase Offer is being made pursuant to this Section
     3.08 and Section 4.10 or Section 4.14 hereof, and the length of time the
     Repurchase Offer shall remain open;

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

          (iii) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall
     continue to accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any;

          (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any
     Note (or portion thereof) accepted for payment pursuant to the Repurchase
     Offer shall cease to accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, after
     the Purchase Date;

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

     Repurchase Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form
     entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note
     completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a
     depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address
     specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

                                       45

<PAGE>

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

          (viii) that, if the aggregate amount of Notes surrendered by Holders
     exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall, subject in the case of a
     Repurchase Offer made pursuant to Section 4.10 to the provisions of Section
     4.10, select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such
     adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes
     in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be
     purchased); and

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

          On the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, subject
in the case of a Repurchase Offer made pursuant to Section 4.10 to the
provisions of Section 4.10, accept for payment on a pro rata basis to the extent
necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes (or portions thereof) tendered pursuant to
the Repurchase Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all
Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
stating that such Notes (or portions thereof) were accepted for payment by the
Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.08. The Company, the
Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any
case not later than three days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each
tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of Notes tendered by such
Holder, as the case may be, and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the
Company, shall promptly issue a new Note. The Trustee, upon written request from
the Company shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder,
in a principal amount at maturity equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by
the Company to the respective Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly
announce the results of the Repurchase Offer on the Purchase Date.

          The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws
and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in
connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to a Repurchase Offer. To
the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict
with the provisions of this Section 3.08, Section 4.10 or Section 4.14, the
Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and
will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.08, 4.10 or
4.14 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 3.09. Application of Trust Money.

          All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.02 shall
be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the
Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Company acting as its own

                                       46

<PAGE>

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

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

furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the

written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any
change in the location of any such other office or agency.

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

Section 4.07. Limitation on Restricted Payments.

          (a) The Company shall not make, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to make, directly or indirectly any Restricted Payment unless, at the
time of, and after giving effect to, such proposed Restricted Payment:

                                       49

<PAGE>

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

          (ii) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and
     after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had
     been made at the beginning of the applicable Latest Full Fiscal Quarter,
     have been permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
     pursuant to the Leverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a); and

          (iii) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of
     all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted
     Subsidiaries after the Closing Date (excluding Restricted Payments
     permitted by clauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vii), (viii) and (ix) of Section
     4.07(b) below), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

               (A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the
          period (taken as one accounting period) beginning October 1, 2003 to
          the end of the Company's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which
          internal financial statements are available at the time of such
          Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such
          period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus

               (B) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds, including the fair market
          value of property other than cash as determined by the Board of
          Directors in good faith, received by the Company since the Closing
          Date (i) from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company
          (other than Disqualified Stock) (including, without limitation, in a
          merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or any other form of
          transaction involving the issue or sale of Capital Stock (other than
          Disqualified Stock)), (ii) from the issue or sale of Disqualified
          Stock or debt securities of the Company that have been converted into
          such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified
          Stock or convertible debt securities) sold to a Restricted Subsidiary
          of the Company), and (iii) from other capital contributions to the
          Company (including, without limitation, through the merger or
          consolidation of a Person with and into the Company not involving the
          issuance or delivery of securities or any other consideration by the
          Company or any Restricted Subsidiary); plus

               (C) the amount equal to the net reduction in Investments (other
          than Permitted Investments) made by the Company or any of its
          Restricted Subsidiaries in any Person after the Closing Date resulting
          from, and without duplication (i) repurchases or redemptions of such
          Investments by such Person, proceeds realized upon the sale of such
          Investment to an unaffiliated purchaser and repayments of loans or
          advances or other transfers of assets by such Person to the Company or
          any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) the redesignation of
          Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries (valued in each
          case as provided in the definition of "Investment"), not to exceed the
          amount of Investments previously made by the Company or any of its
          Restricted Subsidiaries, which amount was included in the calculation
          of Restricted

                                       50

<PAGE>

          Payments; provided, however, that no amount shall be included under
          this clause (C) to the extent it is already included in Consolidated
          Net Income.

          (b) Section 4.07(a) shall not prohibit:

          (i) the payment of any dividend or the making of any distribution
     within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the date of
     declaration the payment or distribution complied with the provisions of
     this Indenture;

          (ii) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other
     acquisition of any subordinated Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the
     Company or any warrants, options or other rights to acquire shares of any
     such Capital Stock either (a) solely in exchange for Equity Interests of
     the Company other than Disqualified Stock, (b) through the application of
     the net proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale for cash (other than to
     a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of Equity Interests of the Company
     other than Disqualified Stock or (c) in the case of Disqualified Stock,
     solely in exchange for, or through the application of the net proceeds of a
     substantially concurrent sale for cash (other than to a Restricted
     Subsidiary of the Company) of, Permitted Refinancing Disqualified Stock;
     provided, in each case, that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that
     are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or
     other acquisition shall be excluded from Section 4.07(a)(iii)(B);

          (iii) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of
     subordinated Indebtedness in exchange for, or with the net cash proceeds
     from, an Incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

          (iv) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for
     value of any Equity Interests of the Company or a Holding Company held by
     any member of the Company's, Holding Company's, or any of the Company's
     Subsidiaries' management or board of directors or family partnerships,
     trusts or other entities or investment vehicles created for the benefit of
     any of the foregoing; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such
     repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests shall not
     exceed $2.5 million in any twelve-month period;

          (v) payments by the Company to fund the payment by a Holding Company
     of audit, accounting, legal or other similar expenses, to pay franchise or
     other similar taxes and to pay other corporate overhead expenses, including
     directors' fees, indemnifications and similar arrangements, so long as such
     dividends are paid as and when needed by a Holding Company so long as the
     aggregate amount of payments pursuant to this clause (v) does not exceed
     $500,000 in any calendar year;

          (vi) payments to enable the Company or a Holding Company to make cash
     payments to holders of its Capital Stock in lieu of issuance of fractional
     shares of its Capital Stock so long as the aggregate amount of payments
     pursuant to this clause (vi) does not exceed $100,000 in any calendar year;

                                       51

<PAGE>

          (vii) repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise
     of stock options or warrants if such Capital Stock represents all or a
     portion of the exercise price thereof;

          (viii) repayment of subordinated Indebtedness (including any early
     redemption premium) of the Company on the Closing Date;

          (ix) repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement of
     Preferred Stock outstanding on the date of this Indenture in an amount not
     to exceed $15.0 million; and

          (x) Restricted Payments in the amount of $10.0 million,

provided, however, that in each case, no Event of Default shall have occurred or
be continuing at the time of such payment or as a result thereof. In determining
the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Closing Date,
amounts expended pursuant to clauses (i), (iv), (vi) and (x) under this Section
4.07(b) shall be included in such calculations.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.07, the
Company shall not effect any repurchase, redemption, defeasance, other
acquisition or retirement of the Subordinated Notes other than in exchange for
or with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness.

          (c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be
the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or
securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.
The fair market value of any non-cash Restricted Payment shall be determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors whose resolution with respect thereto shall
be delivered to the Trustee. The Board of Directors' determination shall be
based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or
investment banking firm of national standing, if the fair market value exceeds
$7.5 million. Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such
Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the
calculations required by this Section 4.07 were computed, together with a copy
of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by this Indenture.

          (d) The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to
be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture if
such designation would not cause a Default. For purposes of making such
determination, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid in cash) in the Subsidiary so
designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time of such
designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under
Section 4.07. All such outstanding Investments will be deemed to constitute
Investments in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Investments at
the time of such designation as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors. Such designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payment
would be permitted at such time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise
meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

                                       52

<PAGE>

          (e) Any such designation by the Board of Directors shall be evidenced
to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of the resolution of
the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officers'
Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the foregoing
conditions. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the
definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of
such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be
incurred as of such date under Section 4.09, the Company shall be in default
thereof).

          (f) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate
any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that:

          (i) such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of
     Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding
     Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall
     only be permitted if such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09,
     calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the
     beginning of the relevant Latest Full Fiscal Quarter and, to the extent
     such Indebtedness is secured by a Lien, such Lien is permitted under
     Section 4.12;

          (ii) all outstanding Investments owned by such Unrestricted Subsidiary
     shall be deemed to be made as of the time of such designation and such
     designation shall only be permitted if such Investments would be permitted
     under Section 4.07; and

          (iii) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence immediately
     following such designation.

Section 4.08. Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted
Subsidiaries.

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

          (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock
     to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or pay any
     indebtedness owed to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

          (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries; or

          (iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any
     of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

          (b) The preceding restrictions set forth in Section 4.08(a) above
shall not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

          (i) Existing Indebtedness as in effect on the date of this Indenture;

                                       53

<PAGE>

          (ii) agreements existing on the date of this Indenture, and any
     amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, extensions, supplements,
     refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof, provided that such
     amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, extensions, supplements,
     refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as
     a whole, with respect to dividend and other payment restrictions than those
     contained in agreements as in effect on the date of this Indenture, as
     determined in good faith by the Board of Directors;

          (iii) this Indenture and the Notes;

          (iv) applicable law;

          (v) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person
     acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect
     at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or
     Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such
     acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any
     Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person,
     or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the
     case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this
     Indenture to be incurred;

          (vi) customary non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses and other
     agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

          (vii) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary
     course of business that impose restrictions of the nature described in this
     Section 4.08(a)(iii) on the property so acquired;

          (viii) any agreement for the sale of a Restricted Subsidiary (whether
     by stock sale, asset sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise) that
     restricts distributions by such Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale;

          (ix) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the
     restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted
     Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole (as
     determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), than those contained
     in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

          (x) secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant
     to the provisions under Section 4.12 that limits the right of the debtor to
     dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

          (xi) customary provisions with respect to the disposition or
     distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements and other
     similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

          (xii) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by
     customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

                                       54

<PAGE>

          (xiii) restrictions relating to Preferred Stock of any Guarantor that
     require that due and payable dividends thereon be paid in full prior to
     dividends on such Guarantor's common stock; or

          (xiv) restrictions on the assets of any Guarantor imposed by any
     agreement or charter provision evidencing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of
     such Guarantor that is otherwise permitted under this Indenture; provided,
     however, that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction
     contained in such agreement or charter provision are not less favorable to
     the Company in any material respect as determined in good faith by the
     Board of Directors of the Company than the provisions relating to such
     encumbrance or restriction contained in this Indenture.

Section 4.09. Limitation on Debt and Issuance of Disqualified Stock.

          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee
or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise,
with respect to (collectively, "Incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired
Debt), and the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, issue any Disqualified Stock (other than to the Company or a
Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary); provided, however, that the Company and any
Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and issue shares of
Disqualified Stock if the Company's Leverage Ratio at the time of the incurrence
of such Indebtedness or issuance of such Disqualified Stock, after giving pro
forma effect thereto (including a pro forma application of the use of proceeds
therefrom), is less than 4.5 to 1.0.

          (b) Section 4.09(a) shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the
following items of Indebtedness or issuance of Disqualified Stock (collectively,
"Permitted Debt"):

          (i) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness
     pursuant to the Credit Agreement (including letter of credit obligations)
     in an aggregate principal amount outstanding under this clause (i) at any
     one time not to exceed $320.0 million, less the aggregate amount of all Net
     Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
     to repay any Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (and, in the case of
     any revolving credit Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to effect a
     corresponding commitment reduction thereunder) pursuant to Section 4.10;

          (ii) the incurrence by the Company of Existing Indebtedness;

          (iii) the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness represented by the
     Notes issued on the date of this Indenture and any guarantees of such Notes
     by the Guarantors;

          (iv) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the
     net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness
     (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture
     to be Incurred under Section 4.09(a) or clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and
     (viii) of this Section 4.09(b), or the issuance by the Company or any of
     its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Disqualified Stock in
     exchange for, or

                                       55

<PAGE>

     the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace
     Disqualified Stock (other than intercompany Disqualified Stock) that was
     permitted by this Indenture to be issued;

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

               (A) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor, such
          Indebtedness must be unsecured, evidenced by a promissory note and
          expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all
          obligations under the Notes, and

               (B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests
          that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other
          than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, and (ii)
          any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that
          is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
          shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such
          Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case
          may be, that was not permitted by this Section 4.09(b)(v);

          (vi) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations, provided that such obligations are
     entered into for bona fide hedging purposes and not for speculative
     purposes;

          (vii) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of
     additional Indebtedness in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25.0 million
     at any one time outstanding (which amount may, but need not, be incurred
     under the Credit Agreement);

          (viii) the incurrence by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries of
     Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings
     or purchase money obligations, in each case incurred for the purpose of
     financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or
     improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the
     Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such incurrence
     (whether through a direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any
     Person owning solely those assets) in an aggregate principal amount not to
     exceed $10.0 million at any time outstanding; and

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

          For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the
event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories of Permitted Debt described in Sections 4.09(b)(i) through (ix) above
or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company may, in
its sole discretion:

                                       56

<PAGE>

               (A) at the time the proposed Indebtedness is incurred, classify
          all or a portion of that item of indebtedness on the date of its
          incurrence under either Section 4.09(a) or under any category of
          Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (ix) of this Section
          4.09(b); and

               (B) reclassify at any later date all or a portion of that or any
          other item of Indebtedness as being or having been incurred in any
          manner that complies with this Section 4.09;

provided, that, in each case, Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement
outstanding on the date the Notes are first issued under this Indenture is
deemed to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(i).

          (c) Accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue
discount and the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of
additional Indebtedness with the same terms shall not be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09.

Section 4.10. Limitation on Asset Sales.

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

          (i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration
     at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of
     the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;

          (ii) the fair market value is determined in good faith by the
     management of the Company or, if such Asset Sale involves consideration in
     excess of $5 million, by the Board of Directors as evidenced by a board
     resolution; and

          (iii) at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Company or such
     Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale is in the form of
     Qualified Consideration.

          (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an
Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net
Proceeds, at its option:

          (i) to repay Senior Debt of the Company or any Guarantor, or any
     Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (and, in
     the case of revolving credit Indebtedness, to reduce commitments with
     respect thereto); or

          (ii) to the acquisition of a majority of the assets of a Permitted
     Business, or a majority of the Voting Stock of a Person engaged in a
     Permitted Business (provided that such Person will become on the date of
     acquisition thereof a Restricted Subsidiary), the making of a capital
     expenditure or the acquisition of other long-term assets (including,
     without limitation, security monitoring accounts or agreements) that are
     used or useful in a Permitted Business.

                                       57

<PAGE>

          (c) Pending application of Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.10,
the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise
invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

          (d) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested
as provided in the preceding paragraph will be deemed to constitute "Excess
Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million,
the Company will be required to make an offer to all holders of Notes and other
Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Notes containing provisions similar to
those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase with the
proceeds of sales of assets (an "Asset Sale Offer") to purchase the maximum
principal amount of Notes and other Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the
Notes, pro rata, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer
price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or the
accreted value of such Indebtedness, if such other Indebtedness is issued at a
discount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of
purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. To the
extent that any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale
Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and
other Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Notes tendered into such Asset
Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the
Notes and other Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Notes to be purchased
on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of
Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

Section 4.11. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

          (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase
any property or assets from, or enter into, make, amend, renew or extend any
transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee
with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an "Affiliate
Transaction"), unless:

          (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable
     to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might
     reasonably have been obtained in a comparable arm's-length transaction by
     the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person;

          (ii) if such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
     Transactions involves aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million,
     either (x) the Board of Directors (including a majority of the
     disinterested members of the Board of Directors) approves such Affiliate
     Transaction and, in its good faith judgment, believes that such Affiliate
     Transaction complies with clause (i) of this paragraph as evidenced by a
     resolution of the Board of Directors promptly delivered to the Trustee or
     (y) if there are no disinterested members of the Board of Directors, the
     Company complies with the fairness opinion requirement of this Section
     4.11(a)(iii) with respect to such Affiliate Transaction; and

                                       58

<PAGE>

          (iii) if such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
     Transactions involves aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million,
     the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion as to the fairness to the
     Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a
     financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment
     banking firm of national standing.

          (b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate
Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of this
Section 4.11(a):

          (i) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan or stock option
     plan entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or
     the issuance of securities or other payments, awards or grants in cash,
     securities or otherwise pursuant thereto in the ordinary course of business
     that has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the
     Board of Directors;

          (ii) transactions between or among the Company and its Restricted
     Subsidiaries;

          (iii) Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of
     Section 4.07 hereof;

          (iv) reasonable and customary directors' fees, indemnification and
     similar arrangements and payments thereunder by the Company or any of its
     Restricted Subsidiaries;

          (v) loans or advances to employees of the Company or any of its
     Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, provided that
     the aggregate amount of all such loans and advances at any time outstanding
     shall not exceed $2.0 million;

          (vi) any agreement as in effect as of the date of this Indenture or
     any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment, taken as a whole, is
     not disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect) or
     any transaction contemplated thereby;

          (vii) the issuance of Capital Stock or other Equity Interests of the
     Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or the making of other capital
     contributions to the Company; and

          (viii) payment of $2.0 million to James R. Hull and the payment of
     $2.7 million to ABRY Partners LLC.

Section 4.12. Limitation on Liens.

          The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien
securing Indebtedness on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or any
income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income
therefrom, except Permitted Liens, unless contemporaneously therewith effective
provision is made, in the case of the Company, to secure the Notes and all other

                                       59

<PAGE>

amounts due under this Indenture, and in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary
which is a Guarantor, to secure such Restricted Subsidiary's Note Guarantee and
all other amounts due under this Indenture, equally and ratably with such
Indebtedness (or, in the event that such Indebtedness is subordinated in right
of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary's Note Guarantee, prior to such
Indebtedness) with a Lien on the same properties and assets securing such
Indebtedness for so long as such Indebtedness is secured by such Lien.

Section 4.13. Business Activities.

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

Section 4.14. Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control.

          (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes shall have the
right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or
an integral multiple thereof) of that Holder's Notes pursuant to an offer by the
Company (a "Change of Control Offer") at an offer price (a "Change of Control
Payment") in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice
to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the
Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on a date (the "Change of
Control Payment Date") specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier
than 30 days and no later than 90 days from the date such notice is mailed,
pursuant to the procedures described in Section 3.08.

          (b) By 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the Change of Control Payment Date,

          (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered
     pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

          (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of
     Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof properly
     tendered; and

          (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes
     properly accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the
     aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by
     the Company.

          (c) The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes
properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee
shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry)
to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion
of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a
principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

          (d) Prior to complying with any of the provisions of this Section
4.14, but in any event within 90 days following a Change of Control, the Company
shall either repay all outstanding Senior Debt or obtain the requisite consents,
if any, under all agreements governing

                                       60

outstanding Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of Notes required by this
Section 4.14. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of
Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment
Date.

          (e) This Section 4.14 will be applicable whether or not any other
provisions of this Indenture are applicable.

          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, the
Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the
times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this
Section 4.14 and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable to a Change
of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered
and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

dispose of, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue,
transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, any Equity Interests in
any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than the issuance of directors'
qualifying shares or an immaterial number of shares required by applicable law
to be held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and
excluding any pledge of Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary) to any
Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company), except:

          (i) if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance, transfer,
     conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition, such Restricted Subsidiary
     would no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary and any Investment in
     such Person remaining after giving effect to such issuance or sale would
     have been permitted to be made under Section 4.07 hereof if made on the
     date of such issuance or sale;

          (ii) sales of Common Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary by the Company
     or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that the Company or such Restricted
     Subsidiary complies with Section 4.10; or

          (iii) sale of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of a Guarantor by
     the Company or a Guarantor that are otherwise permitted under Section 4.09,
     provided that the Company or such Guarantor complies with Section 4.10.

          Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall,
directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by
way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder of any Notes for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions
of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid
or is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in
the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent,
waiver or agreement.

Section 4.17. Additional Note Guarantees.

          (a) If (1) the Company or any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries
shall acquire or create another Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or (2) an
Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company is redesignated as a Restricted
Subsidiary or otherwise ceases to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary and thereafter
is a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary, then such newly acquired, created or
redesignated Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall execute a supplemental
indenture becoming a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

          (b) In addition, the Company shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to Guarantee or pledge any assets to
secure the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor
unless such Restricted Subsidiary is a Guarantor or simultaneously executes and
delivers a supplemental indenture providing for the Guarantee of the payment of
the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary, which Guarantee shall be senior to or
pari passu with such Subsidiary's Guarantee of or pledge to secure such other
Indebtedness unless such other Indebtedness is Senior Debt, in which case the
Guarantee of the Notes may be subordinated to the Guarantee of such Senior Debt
to the same extent as the Notes are subordinated to such Senior Debt.

          (c) A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into
(whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other
than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

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

          (ii) either:

               (A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or
          disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
          consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) is a
          corporation, partnership, limited liability company or business trust
          organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state
          thereof or the District of Columbia and assumes all the obligations of
          that Guarantor under the Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the
          Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture
          satisfactory to the Trustee; or

               (B) such sale or other disposition complies with the "Limitation
          on Asset Sale" covenant of the Indenture, including the application of
          the Net Proceeds therefrom.

          (d) The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

          (i) in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a
     Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to
     such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if
     the sale of all such Capital Stock of that Guarantor complies with the
     "Limitation on Asset Sales" covenant of the Indenture; or

                                       62

<PAGE>

          (ii) if the Company properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that
     is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

Section 4.18. No Senior Subordinated Debt.

          The Company shall not incur, create issue, assume, guarantee or
otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in
right of payment to any Senior Debt of the Company and senior in any respect in
right of payment to the Notes. No Guarantor shall incur, create, issue, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or
junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt of such Guarantor and senior in
any respect in right of payment to such Guarantor's Note Guarantee. No
Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor shall be deemed to be subordinated
in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor
solely by virtue of being unsecured.

     liability company or business trust organized or existing under the laws of
     the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

     satisfactory to the Trustee;

          (iii) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of
     Default exists; and

          (iv) except in the case of a merger of the Company with or into a
     Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, immediately after giving
     effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the Company or the Person
     formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the

provided, however, that Section 5.01(a)(iv) above shall not apply if the
principal purpose of such transaction is to change the state of incorporation of
the Company and any such transaction shall not have as one of its purposes the
evasion of the foregoing limitations.

Section 5.02. Successor Corporation Substituted.

          Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer,
lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the successor corporation
formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to
which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is
made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date
of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the
provisions of this Indenture referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to
the successor corporation and not to the Company), and may exercise every right
and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor Person had been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that
the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on
the Notes except in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition of all of the Company's assets that meets the requirements of

Section 6.01. Events of Default.

          (a) Each of the following constitutes an "Event of Default" under this
Indenture:

          (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or
     Liquidated Damages with respect to, the Notes (whether or not prohibited by

     prohibited by Article Ten hereof), 4.14 (whether or not prohibited by

          (iv) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to

     written notice thereof specifying the default from the Trustee or Holders
     of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes;

          (v) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which
     there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
     Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any
     of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now
     exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, if that default:

               (A) is caused by a failure to pay at the stated maturity the
          principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness (a
          "Payment Default"); or

               (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its
          stated maturity,

     and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together
     with the aggregate principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under

     execution shall not be effectively stayed) of 60 days;

          (vii) default by any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or by
     a group of Guarantors that, taken together, would be a Significant
     Subsidiary in the performance of any covenant set forth in its or their
     Note Guarantee(s), written repudiation by any Guarantor that is a
     Significant Subsidiary of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or by a
     group of Guarantors that, taken together, would be a Significant Subsidiary
     of their Note Guarantees, or the judicial determination that any Note
     Guarantee is unenforceable against a Guarantor that is a Significant
     Subsidiary or against a group of Guarantors that, taken together, would
     constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

          (viii) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company (or

     Subsidiary) pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

     any Bankruptcy Law that:

               (A) is for relief against the Company or any of its Restricted
          Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or Restricted
          Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary),
          in an involuntary case; or

               (B) appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Restricted
          Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or Restricted
          Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary)
          or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any
          of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or
          Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant
          Subsidiary), or

               (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its
          Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

          (a) In the case of an Event of Default specified in clauses (viii) or
(ix) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary of the Company (or any Restricted Subsidiaries that together would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary), all outstanding Notes will become due and
payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be
due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee
specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a "notice of
acceleration."

          (b) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because
an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(v) has occurred and is
continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically
annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of
Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(v) shall be remedied or cured by the Company
or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or waived by the holders of the
relevant Indebtedness within 20 days after the declaration of acceleration of
the Notes with respect thereto and if (A) the annulment of the acceleration of
the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction and (B) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of
principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of
the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

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

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

Section 6.04. Rescission, Cancellation and Waiver of Past Defaults.

          (a) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Notes, rescind and cancel a declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02
hereof, and its consequences if:

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

          (ii) all existing Defaults and Events of Default have been cured or
     waived except nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Notes that has
     become due solely by such declaration of acceleration;

          (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest
     (at the same rate specified in the Notes) on overdue installments of
     interest and overdue payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest
     which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration,
     has been paid;

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

          (v) in the event of cure or waiver of a Default or Event of Default of
     the type described in Section 6.01(viii) or (ix), the Trustee has received
     an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel that such Default or Event
     of Default has been cured or waived.

          (b) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of
all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes.

          The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to any such
rescission, cancellation or waiver and attaching copies of such consents. In
case of any such rescission, cancellation or waiver, the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder
and under the Notes, respectively. This Section 6.04 and Section 9.02 shall be
in lieu

                                       67

<PAGE>

of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is
hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the
TIA. Upon any such rescission, cancellation or waiver, such Default shall cease
to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

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

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

          (a) A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture
or the Notes unless:

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

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

          (iii) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the
     Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any
     costs, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in connection with
     the request or direction;

          (iv) 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

          (v) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
     principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a
     direction that is inconsistent with the request.

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

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

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

                                       68

<PAGE>

consent of such Holder. However, any such payment received by a Holder is
subject to the subordination provisions of Article Ten.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

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

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

Section 6.10. Priorities.

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

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

                                       69

<PAGE>

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

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

          (b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment
to Holders 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 of a
Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than ten
percent in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

                                 ARTICLE SEVEN

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee. Except to the extent, if any, provided
otherwise in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as from time to time in effect):

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

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

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

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

                                       70

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

          (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this
     Section;

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

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

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

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

to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The
Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

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

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

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

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

                                       71

<PAGE>

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

          (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or
Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such event is sent to the Trustee
in accordance with Section 12.02 hereof, and such notice references the Notes.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

          The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Notes and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with,
the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any
conflicting interest as described in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as in
effect at such time), it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply 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 hereof.

Section 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer.

          The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation
as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, 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. Notwithstanding the effective date of
this Indenture or anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the
Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any act or event relating
to this Indenture or the transactions related thereto which occurs prior to the
date of this Indenture, and shall have no contractual obligations or fiduciary
duties to the Company, any Guarantors, the Holders of the Notes and the holders
of beneficial interests therein, or any other Person until the date of this
Indenture.

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults.

          If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is
known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the
Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case
of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal, premium, interest or
Liquidated Damages on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so
long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

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

          (a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with May 30 following
the date hereof, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall
mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date
that complies with TIA (S) 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA (S) 313(a)
has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report
need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA (S) 313(b)(2). The
Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA (S) 313(c).

          (b) 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 (S) 313(d).
The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any
stock exchange or any delisting thereof.

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

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

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

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

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

          (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(viii) and (ix) hereof occurs, the
expenses and the

                                       73

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.

to the extent applicable.

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the

remove the Trustee if:

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

          (ii) 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;

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

          (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

          (d) 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 at the expense of the Company any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

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

                                       74

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

company, or a bank holding company, having a combined capital and surplus of
$150.0 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 (S)310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA
(S)310(b).

Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

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

hereby waives any right to set-off any claim that it may have against the
Company in any capacity (other than as Trustee and Paying Agent) against any of
the assets of the Company held by the Trustee; provided, however, that if the
Trustee is or becomes a lender of any other Indebtedness permitted hereunder to
be pari passu with the Notes, then such waiver shall not apply to the extent of
such Indebtedness.

of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its
obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10,
4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 and 4.18 hereof with respect to the
outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Notes shall
thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
"outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such
Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this
purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes,
the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant
to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01
hereof, 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 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections
6.01(a)(iii) through (vii) shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

          (a) The following shall be the conditions to the application of either
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

<PAGE>

          (i) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust,
     for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars,
     non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, 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, or
     interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated
     maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the
     Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to
     a particular redemption date;

          (ii) 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 (a) the Company has received
     from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling
     or (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the
     applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and
     based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of
     the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
     income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be
     subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
     at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had
     not occurred;

          (iii) 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 of the
     outstanding Notes 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;

          (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing either: (a) 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); or (b) insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or
     insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the
     123rd day after the date of deposit;

          (v) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a
     breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material
     agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or
     any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
     Subsidiaries is bound;

          (vi) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
     stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of
     preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company
     with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors
     of the Company or others;

          (vii) if the Notes are to be redeemed prior to their stated maturity,
     the Company must deliver to the Trustee irrevocable instructions to redeem
     all of the Notes on the specified redemption date; and

                                       77

<PAGE>

          (viii) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
     Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
     precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have
     been complied with.

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

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

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

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

Section 8.06. Repayment to 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 of, premium, if any,
or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look
only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the
Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York
Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be
less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

                                       78

Section 8.07. Reinstatement.

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

                                  ARTICLE NINE
                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

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

          (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

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

          (iii) to provide for the assumption of the Company's or any
     Guarantor's obligations to Holders of Notes in the case of a merger or
     consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's or such
     Guarantor's assets;

          (iv) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
     benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the
     legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder in any material
     respect;

          (v) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect
     or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture
     Act; or

          (vi) to reflect the release of any Guarantor from its Note Guarantee
     or add any Guarantor pursuant to and in the manner provided by this
     Indenture.

          (b) Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its
Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental
Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of any documents requested under
Section 7.02(b) hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution
of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or

                                       79

<PAGE>

permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall
not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that
affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02, the Company,
the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes),
and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any past default or compliance
with any provisions may also be waived (except a default in the payment of
principal, premium or interest and certain covenants and provisions of this
Indenture which cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder of an
outstanding Note) with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents
obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer
for, the Notes).

          (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date
for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture
supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date,
or its duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to
consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have
become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained
prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent
previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
cancelled and of no further effect.

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

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

          (e) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section
becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment,
supplement or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including
Additional

                                       80

<PAGE>

Notes, if any) may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with
any provision of this Indenture, or the Notes. However, without the consent of
each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not
(with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

          (ii) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note
     or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption or
     repurchase, reduce the redemption or repurchase price of the Notes, or
     waive any payment with respect to the redemption of the Notes (except as
     would otherwise be permitted under this Section 9.02(e)(ix));

          (iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on
     any Note;

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

          (v) make any Note payable in money other than U.S. dollars;

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

          (vii) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note
     Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this
     Indenture;

          (viii) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any
     payment on or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees;

          (ix) after the Company's obligation to purchase the Notes arises under
     this Indenture, amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company to
     make and consummate an Asset Sale Offer with respect to any Asset Sale in
     accordance with Section 4.10 or the obligation of the Company to make and
     consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control in
     accordance with Section 4.14, including, in each case, amending, changing
     or modifying any definition relating thereto;

          (x) amend or modify any of the provisions of this Indenture or the
     related definitions affecting the subordination or ranking of the Notes or
     any Note Guarantee in any manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes or any
     Note Guarantee; or

          (xi) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

                                       81

Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.

          The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement to this Indenture
or any Note authorized pursuant to this Article Nine 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 or Note until its Board of Directors approves it. In executing any
amendment or supplement or Note, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and
(subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

                                  ARTICLE TEN
                             SUBORDINATION OF NOTES

Section 10.01. Agreement to Subordinate. The Company and each Guarantor (by
execution of a Note Guarantee) agrees, and the Trustee, by acceptance of its
appointment as trustee under this Indenture, and each Holder by accepting a Note
agrees, that the Indebtedness and Obligations (i) of the Company evidenced by
the Notes, this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, all as amended,
supplemented or restated from time to time, are subordinated in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article Ten, to the
prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt of the Company (whether
outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or
guaranteed), and (ii) of a Guarantor evidenced by the Note

                                       82

<PAGE>

Guarantee of such Guarantor, as amended, supplemented or restated from time to
time, are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner
provided in this Article Ten, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior
Debt of such Guarantor (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter
created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that, in each case, the
subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt of the Company or
such Guarantor, as the case may be. For purposes of this Article Ten, the
Company and the Guarantors are referred to as the "Obligors," and each an
"Obligor," and the Indebtedness and Obligations of the Company evidenced by the
Notes, this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement and the Note
Guarantee of the Guarantors, all as amended, supplemented or restated from time
to time, are referred to as the "Subordinated Debt."

Section 10.02. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. The holders of Senior Debt
of an Obligor will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all
Obligations owing in respect of the Senior Debt of such Obligor (whether or not
then due and payable) before the Trustee or the holders of Subordinated Debt of
such Obligor will be entitled to receive any payment, whether in cash, property
or securities, with respect to the Subordinated Debt (except that holders of
Subordinated Debt may receive and retain Permitted Junior Securities and
payments made from the trust pursuant to Article Eight hereof), in the event of
any payment or distribution to creditors of such Obligor: (i) in a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of such Obligor; (ii) in a bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding (whether voluntary or
involuntary) relating to such Obligor or its property; (iii) in an assignment by
such Obligor for the benefit of its creditors; or (iv) in any marshaling of such
Obligor's assets and liabilities.

Section 10.03. Default on Designated Senior Debt. No Obligor may make, and
neither the Trustee nor any holder of Subordinated Debt of an Obligor may
accept, any payment in respect of the Subordinated Debt of such Obligor (except
in Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust pursuant to Article Eight
hereof):

          (a) (1) in the event of and during the continuation of any default in
the payment of principal of, interest or premium, if any, on or any other amount
due with respect to any Designated Senior Debt (without regard to any grace or
cure period) or (2) in the event that any event of default (other than a payment
default described in clause (1)) with respect to any Designated Senior Debt
shall have occurred and be continuing and shall have resulted in such Designated
Senior Debt becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on
which it would otherwise have become due and payable; or

          (b) if any event of default other than as described in Section
10.03(a) above with respect to any Designated Senior Debt shall have occurred
and be continuing permitting the holders of such Designated Senior Debt (or
their Representative or Representatives) to declare such Designated Senior Debt
due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due
and payable (whether or not such Designated Senior Debt actually becomes or is
declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have
become due and payable):

          (i) in case of any payment default or acceleration specified in clause
     (a), unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or such
     acceleration shall have been rescinded or annulled, or

                                       83

<PAGE>

          (ii) in case of any nonpayment event of default specified in Section
     10.03(b), during the period (a "Payment Blockage Period") commencing on the
     date the Trustee receives written notice (a "Payment Blockage Notice") of
     such event of default from the requisite holders or a Representative of the
     holders of such Designated Senior Debt and ending on the earlier of:

               (A) (x) the date, if any, on which such Designated Senior Debt to
          which such default relates is paid in full in cash and all commitments
          and letters or credit thereunder have terminated or expired or (y) the
          date such default is cured or waived in writing in accordance with the
          instruments governing such Designated Senior Debt by the holders of
          such Designated Senior Debt; and

               (B) 179 days after such date.

          (c) No new Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered to the Trustee
that would start a new Payment Blockage Period unless and until: (i) 360 days
have elapsed since the delivery of the immediately prior Payment Blockage
Notice; and (ii) all scheduled payments of principal, interest and premium and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes that have come due (other than as a
result of any acceleration of the Notes and other than as a result of any
purchase or repurchase of the Notes under Section 4.10 or 4.14 to the extent
such repurchase is prohibited by Section 10.14) have been paid in full in cash.
No nonpayment default which existed or was continuing with respect to the
Designated Senior Debt on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to
the Trustee shall be or be made the basis for the commencement of any subsequent
Payment Blockage Notice unless such first-mentioned nonpayment default has been
cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days.

Section 10.04. Acceleration of Securities. If payment of the Notes is
accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify
the holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration.

Section 10.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. In the event that the
Trustee or any holder of Subordinated Debt of an Obligor receives any payment in
respect of Subordinated Debt of such Obligor (except in Permitted Junior
Securities or from the trust pursuant to Article Eight hereof) at a time when
such payment is prohibited by this Article Ten, such payment shall be held by
the Trustee or such holder, as applicable, in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid forthwith over and delivered to the holders of Senior Debt of such
Obligor as their interests may appear or their Representative, as their
respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Senior
Debt of such Obligor remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Senior
Debt in full in cash in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt of such
Obligor.

          With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to
perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set
forth in this Article Ten and elsewhere in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to
owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt.

                                       84

<PAGE>

          All money and U.S. Government Obligations deposited in trust with the
Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with Article Eleven shall be for the sole
benefit of the Holders and shall not be subject to this Article Ten. Otherwise,
any deposit of assets by an Obligor with the Trustee or any Paying Agent
(whether or not in trust) for the payment of any Subordinated Debt shall be
subject to the provisions of this Article Ten; provided that, if prior to the
second Business Day preceding the date on which by the terms of this Indenture
any such assets may become distributable for any purpose (including without
limitation, the payment of either principal of or interest on any Note) the
Trustee or such Paying Agent shall not have received with respect to such assets
the written notice provided for in Section 10.11, then the Trustee or such
Paying Agent shall have full power and authority to receive such assets and to
apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after
such date. The preceding sentence shall be construed solely for the benefit of
the Trustee and each Paying Agent and shall not otherwise affect the rights of
holders of Senior Debt or the obligations of holders of Subordinated Debt or the
Obligors under this Article Ten.

Section 10.06. Notice by the Company. The Company shall promptly notify the
Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of any facts known to the Company that
would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Subordinated Debt
to violate this Article Ten, but failure to give such notice shall not affect
the subordination of the Subordinated Debt to the Senior Debt as provided in
this Article Ten.

Section 10.07. Subrogation. After all Senior Debt of an Obligor is paid in full
in cash and until the Subordinated Debt of such Obligor is paid in full and all
commitments and letters of credit thereunder have terminated or expired, holders
of Subordinated Debt of such Obligor shall be subrogated (equally and ratably
with holders of all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Subordinated Debt of
such Obligor to the extent distributions payable to such holders were applied to
the payment of Senior Debt of such Obligor) to the rights of holders of Senior
Debt of such Obligor to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt of such
Obligor to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the holders of
Subordinated Debt of such Obligor have been applied to the payment of Senior
Debt of such Obligor. A distribution made under this Article Ten to holders of
Senior Debt of an Obligor that otherwise would have been made to holders of
Subordinated Debt of such Obligor is not, as between such Obligor and holders of
Subordinated Debt of such Obligor, a payment by such Obligor on the Subordinated
Debt.

Section 10.08. Relative Rights. This Article Ten defines the relative rights of
holders of Subordinated Debt of an Obligor and holders of Senior Debt of such
Obligor. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

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

          (b) affect the relative rights of holders of Subordinated Debt of an
Obligor and creditors of such Obligor other than their rights in relation to
holders of Senior Debt of such Obligor; or

                                       85

<PAGE>

          (c) prevent the Trustee or any holder of Subordinated Debt of an
Obligor from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of
Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt of such
Obligor to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to holders of
Subordinated Debt of such Obligor.

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

Section 10.09. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by an Obligor. No right of any
present or future holder of any Senior Debt or any Representative thereof to
enforce the subordination provisions in this Article Ten shall at any time in
any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of
any Obligor or by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or by any
noncompliance by any Obligor with the terms of this Indenture or any Note
Guarantee, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or
be otherwise charged with. The holders of Senior Debt may extend, renew, modify
or amend the terms of the Senior Debt or any security therefor and release, sell
or exchange such security and otherwise deal freely with any Obligor, all
without affecting the liabilities and obligations of the parties to this
Indenture or the Note Guarantees or the holders of Subordinated Debt.

Section 10.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution
is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may
be made and the notice given to their Representative.

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

Section 10.11. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Article Ten or any other provision of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that
would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, unless
the Trustee shall have received at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee at
least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of
facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the
Subordinated Debt to violate this Article Ten. Only the Company or the holders
of Designated Senior Debt or a Representative therefor may give the notice.
Nothing in this Article Ten shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the
Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof. Nothing in this Section 10.11
is intended to or shall relieve any holder of Subordinated Debt from the
obligations imposed under this Article Ten with respect to money or other
distributions received in violation of the provisions of this Article Ten.

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

                                       86

<PAGE>

Section 10.12. Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each holder of
Subordinated Debt, by the holder's acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs
the Trustee on such holder's behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article Ten, and
appoints the Trustee to act as such holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all
such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of
debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.09 hereof
at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the agent
under the Credit Agreement are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim
for and on behalf of the holders of the Subordinated Debt.

Section 10.13. Payment. A payment with respect to Subordinated Debt shall
include, without limitation, payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest (including Liquidated Damages) on any Note, any depositing of funds
under Article Eleven, any payment on account of any mandatory or optional
repurchase or redemption of any Note (including payments pursuant to Article
Three or Section 4.10 or Section 4.14) and any payment or recovery on any claim
(whether for rescission damages and whether based on contract, tort, duty
imposed by law, or any other theory of liability) relating to or arising out of
the offer, sale or purchase of any Note, provided that any such payment,
deposit, other payment or recovery (i) not prohibited pursuant to this Article
Ten at the time actually made shall not be subject to any recovery by any holder
of Senior Debt or Representative therefor or other Person pursuant to this
Article Ten at any time thereafter and (ii) made by or from any Person other
than an Obligor shall not be subject to any recovery by any holder of Senior
Debt of such Obligor or Representative therefor or other Person pursuant to this
Article Ten at any time thereafter except to the extent such Person recovers any
such amount paid from such Obligor, whether pursuant to rights of indemnity,
rescission or otherwise.

Section 10.14. Repurchase of Notes. No Obligor shall make, and neither the
Trustee nor any holder of Subordinated Debt may accept from any Obligor, any
payment in respect of any purchase or repurchase of the Notes pursuant to
Sections 4.10 or 4.14 of this Indenture, unless the Company shall first have
either repaid all outstanding Senior Debt and terminated all commitments and
letters of credit thereunder or obtained the requisite consents, if any, under
all agreements governing outstanding Senior Debt, to permit such purchase or
repurchase.

          or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose

          cancellation; or

<PAGE>

               (B) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for

          deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
          trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars,
          non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such
          amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any
          reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness
          on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for
          principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and accrued
          interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

     continuing on the date of any deposit referred to in clause (a)(i)(B) or

     Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion may be subject to customary assumptions and
exclusions) to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction
and discharge have been satisfied.

from time to time upon its request any cash or Government Securities held by it
as provided in this section which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be
required to be deposited to effect a satisfaction and discharge under this
Article Eleven.

               Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

          Subject to Section 11.03 hereof, all money and non-callable Government
Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 11.01 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in

Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and
interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the

Section 12.14. Acts of Holders.

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

                                       92

<PAGE>

execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Company if made in the manner provided in this Section 12.14.

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

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
12.14, the principal amount and serial numbers of Notes held by any Holder, and
the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the register of the Notes
maintained by the Registrar as provided in Section 2.04 hereof.

          (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of the Notes any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a resolution of its Board of
Directors, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders
entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.
Notwithstanding TIA (S)316(c), such record date shall be the record date
specified in or pursuant to such resolution, which shall be a date not earlier
than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in
connection therewith or the date of the most recent list of Holders forwarded to
the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof and not
later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is
fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders
of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be
Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite
proportion of the then outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented
to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act, and for that purpose the then outstanding Notes shall be computed as
of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent
by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall
become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than
eleven months after the record date.

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

          (f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to
take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so itself
with regard to all or any part of the

                                       93

<PAGE>

principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of
which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of
such principal amount.

Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, and to execute such agreement as
attorney-in-fact on behalf of the Holders, and take any and all actions required
or permitted by the terms thereof. With respect to any amendment or modification
of any provision of the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, or the giving
of any consent with respect thereto, the Trustee will act upon the direction of
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Section 12.16. Benefit of Indenture.

                         MONITRONICS INTERNATIONAL, Inc.

                   11 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010

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

          1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal
amount of this Note at 11 3/4% per annum from the date hereof until maturity and
shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5 of the
Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company shall pay interest
and Liquidated Damages, if any, semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and
September 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day (each an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes
shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided that if
there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is
authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next
succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest
Payment Date shall be March 1, 2004. The Company shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1%
per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest and Liquidated Damages (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the
extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

          2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons who
are Holders of Notes at the close of business on the record date immediately
preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such
record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in
Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes
shall be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and
interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in
The City of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their
addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by
wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to
principal of and interest, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all
Global Notes and to any Holder of $1.0 million or more of Notes which shall have
provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such
payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

          3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Trustee under the
Indenture shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar

                                      A-4

<PAGE>

without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in
any such capacity.

          4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as
of August 25, 2003 ("Indenture") among the Company, and the Trustee. The terms
of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes
are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and
such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note
conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the
Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Indenture pursuant to which this
Note is issued provides that an unlimited aggregate principal amount of
Additional Notes may be issued thereunder.

          5. Subordination. The Notes are general senior subordinated unsecured
obligations of the Company, subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Debt
of the Company as set forth in Article Ten of the Indenture. Each Holder of a
Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by Article Ten of
the Indenture and (b) appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact of such Holder
for any and all such purposes.

          6. Optional Redemption. (a) Except as set forth in paragraph 6(b) and
6(c) below, the Company shall not have the option to redeem any Notes prior to
September 1, 2007. Thereafter, the Company shall have the option to redeem the
Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior
notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount)
set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month
period beginning on September 1 of the years indicated below (subject to the
right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest and Liquidated
Damages due on the related interest payment date):

Year                                                                  Percentage
----                                                                  ----------
2007...............................................................    108.000%
2008...............................................................    102.938%
2009...............................................................    100.000%

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to September 1,
2006, the Company may redeem up to 25% of the aggregate principal amount of
Notes issued under the Indenture (including additional Notes, if any, issued
subsequent to the Closing Date) at a redemption price equal to 111.750% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more offerings of Capital
Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or of a Holding Company (to
the extent, in the case of a Holding Company, that the net cash proceeds thereof
are used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock), or are
contributed to the common equity capital, of the Company); provided that (A) at
least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding
immediately after the occurrence of such redemption, excluding Notes held by the
Company and its Subsidiaries; and (B) the redemption must occur within 90 days
of the date of the closing of such offering.

                                      A-5

<PAGE>

          (c) In addition, at any time prior to September 1, 2007, the Company
may redeem all or part of the Notes upon not less than 30 days' nor more than 60
days' notice at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount
thereof, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
to the applicable date of redemption, plus (iii) the Applicable Premium.

          7. Repurchase at Option of Holder. (a) If a Change of Control occurs,
each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase
all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such
Holder's Notes pursuant to an offer by the Company (a "Change of Control Offer")
at an offer price (a "Change of Control Payment") in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change
of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering
to repurchase Notes on a date (the "Change of Control Payment Date") specified
in such notice, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 90 days
from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the
Indenture and described in such notice.

          (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an
Asset Sale, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds
at its option: (i) to repay Senior Debt of the Company or any Guarantor, or any
Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (and, in the
case of revolving credit Indebtedness, to reduce commitments with respect
thereto); or (ii) to the acquisition of a majority of the assets of a Permitted
Business, or a majority of the Voting Stock of a Person engaged in a Permitted
Business (provided that such Person will become on the date of acquisition
thereof a Restricted Subsidiary), the making of a capital expenditure or the
acquisition of other long-term assets (including, without limitation, security
monitoring accounts or agreements) that are used or useful in a Permitted
Business. Pending application of Net Proceeds pursuant to the Section 4.10 of
the Indenture, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or
otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the
Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as
provided in the next preceding sentence will be deemed to constitute "Excess
Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million,
the Company will be required to make an offer to all Holders of Notes and other
Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Notes containing provisions similar to
those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase with the
proceeds of sales of assets (an "Asset Sale Offer") to purchase the maximum
principal amount of Notes and other Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the
Notes, pro rata, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer
price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or the
accreted value of such Indebtedness, if such other Indebtedness is issued at a
discount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of
purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. To the
extent that any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale
Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and
other Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Notes tendered into such Asset
Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the
Notes and other Indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Notes to be purchased
on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of
Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

                                      A-6

<PAGE>

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

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

          10. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of
the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and any past
default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived (except a default
in the payment of principal, premium or interest and certain covenants and
provisions of the Indenture which cannot be amended without the consent of each
Holder of an outstanding Note) with the consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including
consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange
offer for, the Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the
Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to, among other things,
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or to make any change that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder.

          11. Defaults and Remedies. In the case of an Event of Default arising
from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Company or
any Significant Subsidiary of the Company (or any Restricted Subsidiaries that
together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), all outstanding Notes will
become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any
other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of
at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all
the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company
specifying the Event of Default. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee
may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any Default or Event of Default
(except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal,
premium, interest or Liquidated Damages) if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of
all of the Notes, rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration pursuant to
Section 6.02 of the Indenture, and its consequences, and waive any related
existing Default or Event of Default if certain conditions are satisfied.

          12. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or
any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform
services for the Company or its

                                      A-7

<PAGE>

Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it
were not the Trustee.

          13. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee,
incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as such, shall have any liability
for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture, or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of
the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the
federal securities laws.

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

          15. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under
the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive
Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement
dated as of August 25, 2003, between the Company and the parties named on the
signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional Notes, Holders of
Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have the rights
set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, between the
Company, the Guarantors and the other parties thereto, relating to rights given
by the Company and the Guarantors to the purchasers of Additional Notes (the
"Registration Rights Agreement").

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

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

          WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental

guarantee all of the Company's obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on
the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Note Guarantee"); and

          WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is
authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good

          (a) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary, along with all other Guarantors,
jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally, guarantees to each Holder of a
Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its
successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the
Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder,

<PAGE>

     all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee
     hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in

     renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing
     payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so
     guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be
     jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. The
     Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not
     a guarantee of collection.

          (b) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees that, to the maximum
extent permitted under applicable law, its obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions
hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action
to enforce the same or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.

          (c) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary, subject to Section 6.06 of the
Indenture, hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of
claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any
right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all
demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be

Notes and the Indenture.

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

          (e) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that it shall not be entitled
to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations
guaranteed hereby.

          (f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that, as between the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as
provided in Article Six of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note
Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in
the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in
Article Six of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable)
shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this
Note Guarantee.

<PAGE>

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

          (h) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary confirms that it is the intention of
such Guaranteeing Subsidiary that its Note Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or
state law to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee and, to effectuate the
foregoing intention, agrees hereby irrevocably that the obligations of such
Guaranteeing Subsidiary will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after
giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guaranteeing
Subsidiary that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any
collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on
behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
Guarantor under the Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guaranteeing
Subsidiary under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance.

          3. Agreement to Subordinate.

          The Note Guarantee of each Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be
subordinated to all Senior Debt of such Guarantor, as and to the extent provided
in Article Ten of the Indenture.

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

          5. Guaranteeing Subsidiary May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.

          (a) A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge with or into
(whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other
than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

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

          (ii) either:

               (A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or
          disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
          consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) is a corporation
          or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of
          the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and
          assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Indenture, its
          Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a
          supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or

               (B) such sale or other disposition or consolidation or merger
          complies with Section 4.10 of the Indenture.

                                      F-3

          (b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance
governed by Section 4(a) hereof and upon the assumption by the successor Person,
by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably
satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the
Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and
conditions of the Indenture to be performed by a Guarantor, such successor
Person shall succeed to and be substituted for a Guarantor with the same effect
as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon
may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all
of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by
the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued
shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture
as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at
the date of the execution hereof.

          6. Release.

          (a) Any Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations
under its Note Guarantee, (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition
of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Affiliate of the Company,
if the sale of all such Capital Stock of that Guarantor complies with Section
4.10 of the Indenture; (ii) if the Company properly designates that Guarantor as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary under the Indenture or (iii) upon the release or
discharge of the Guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Note Guarantee
pursuant to Section 4.17(a) and (b) of the Indenture, except a discharge or
release by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee. Upon delivery by the
Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that one of the foregoing requirements has been satisfied and the
conditions to the release of a Guarantor under this Section 5 have been
satisfied, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order
to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Note
Guarantee.

          (b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note
Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest
and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of
any Guarantor under this Supplemental Indenture.

          7. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL

of this Agreement are the Transfer Restricted Securities.

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

Section 3. Registered Exchange Offer

     (a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permissible under applicable law
or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) below have
been complied with), the Company shall (i) cause to be filed with the Commission
as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than 90
days after the Closing Date, a Registration Statement under the Securities Act
relating to the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Offer, (ii) use its reasonable
best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective at the
earliest possible time, but in no event later than 210 days after the Closing
Date, (iii) in connection with the foregoing, file (A) all pre-effective
amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause
such Registration Statement to become effective, (B) if applicable, a
post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A
under the Securities Act and (C) cause all necessary filings in connection with
the registration and qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of
the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement, commence the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the
appropriate form permitting registration of the Exchange Notes to be offered in
exchange for the Transfer Restricted Securities and to permit resales of Notes
held by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) below.

                                        3

<PAGE>

     (b) The Company shall cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be
effective continuously and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of
not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state
securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no
event shall such period be less than 20 days after the date notice of the
Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders. The Company shall cause the Exchange
Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No
securities other than the Notes shall be included in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the
Exchange Offer to be Consummated on the earliest practicable date after the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, but in no event
later than 240 days after the Closing Date.

     (c) The Company shall indicate in a "Plan of Distribution" section
contained in the Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement that any Broker-Dealer who holds Initial Notes that are Transfer
Restricted Securities and that were acquired for its own account as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Transfer
Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Company), may exchange such
Initial Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, such Broker-Dealer may be
deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and must,
therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act
in connection with any resales of the Exchange Notes received by such
Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may
be satisfied by the delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained
in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. Such "Plan of Distribution"
section shall also contain all other information with respect to such resales by
Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such resales
pursuant thereto, but such "Plan of Distribution" shall not name any such
Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Notes held by any such Broker-Dealer
except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in
policy after the date of this Agreement.

          The Company shall use its best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as
required by the provisions of Section 6(c) below to the extent necessary to
ensure that it is available for resales of Notes acquired by Broker-Dealers for
their own accounts as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this
Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the
Commission as announced from time to time, for a period ending on the earlier of
(i) 180 days from the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is
declared effective and (ii) the date on which a Broker-Dealer is no longer
required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other
trading activities.

          The Company shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of
such Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time during such
180-day (or shorter as provided in the foregoing sentence) period in order to
facilitate such resales.

Section 4. Shelf Registration

     (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Company is not required to file an
Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to consummate the Exchange Offer
because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission
policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) below have been complied
with), (ii) for any reason the Exchange Offer is not Consummated within 240 days
after the Closing Date, or (iii) with respect to any Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities, such Holder notifies the Company prior to the 20th day
following Consummation of the Exchange Offer that (A) such Holder is prohibited
by applicable law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer,
or (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the
Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and that the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not
appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder, or (C) such Holder is
a Broker-

                                        4

<PAGE>

Dealer and holds Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or one of its
affiliates, then, upon such Holder's request, the Company shall:

          (x) cause to be filed a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule
     415 under the Securities Act, which may be an amendment to the Exchange
     Offer Registration Statement or on any appropriate form under the
     Securities Act (in either event, the "Shelf Registration Statement") as
     soon as practicable but in any event on or prior to 45 days after the
     filing obligation arises, which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide
     for resales of all Transfer Restricted Securities the Holders of which
     shall have provided the information required pursuant to Section 4(b)
     hereof; and

          (y) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration
     Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 90 days
     after the filing obligation arises.

     The Company shall use its best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration
Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the
provisions of Sections 6(c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is
available for resales of Notes by the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities
entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and to ensure that it conforms
with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies,
rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a
period until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the period referred to in Rule
144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) with respect to the
Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) such shorter period that will terminate
when all the Notes covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold
pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement).

     (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the
Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may
include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to
the Company in writing, within 20 business days after receipt of a request
therefor, such information as the Company may reasonably request for use in
connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary
Prospectus included therein. Each Holder as to which any Shelf Registration
Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all
information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously
furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading.

Section 5. Liquidated Damages

          If (i) any of the Registration Statements required by this Agreement
is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such
filing in this Agreement, (ii) any of such Registration Statements has not been
declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such
effectiveness in this Agreement (the "Effectiveness Target Date"), (iii) the
Exchange Offer has not been Consummated within 30 days after the Effectiveness
Target Date with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (iv)
any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared
effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable in
connection with resales or exchanges of Notes during the periods specified in
this Agreement without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment
to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself
immediately declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i)
through (iv), a "Registration Default"), the Company agrees to pay to each
Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities affected thereby liquidated damages
("Liquidated Damages") in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum on the principal
amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder during the
90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default
and shall increase by an additional

                                        5

<PAGE>

0.25% per annum on the principal amount of such Transfer Restricted Securities
at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such increase
exceed 1.50% per annum. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating
to any particular Transfer Restricted Securities, the Liquidated Damages payable
with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a result of the provisions
of this paragraph shall cease.

          All obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding paragraph
that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the
time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive
until such time as all such obligations with respect to such Note shall have
been satisfied in full.

Section 6. Registration Procedures

     (a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange
Offer, the Company shall comply with all of the applicable provisions of Section
6(c) below, shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such exchange to
permit the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with
the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and shall comply with
all of the following provisions:

          (i) If in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company there is a
question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law, the
Company hereby agrees to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision
from the Commission allowing the Company to Consummate an Exchange Offer for
such Initial Notes. The Company hereby agrees to pursue the issuance of such a
decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take
commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission policy. The
Company hereby agrees, however, to (A) participate in telephonic conferences
with the Commission, (B) deliver to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by
counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such
counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C)
diligently pursue a favorable resolution by the Commission staff of such
submission.

          (ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the
Consummation thereof, a written representation to the Company (which may be
contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate of the
Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no
arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution
of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring
the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business. In addition, all such
Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall otherwise cooperate in the
Company's preparations for the Exchange Offer. Each Holder hereby acknowledges
and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer
to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the
Exchange Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of
this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan
Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings
Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission's letter
to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (which
may include any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2)
must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a
secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration
statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item
507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange
Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Notes acquired by such
Holder directly from the Company.

                                        6

<PAGE>

     (b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration
Statement, the Company shall comply with all the applicable provisions of
Section 6(c) below and shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such
registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold
in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and
pursuant thereto the Company will as soon as practicable prepare and file with
the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any
appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form shall be available for the
sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended
method or methods of distribution thereof.

     (c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and
any Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of
Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation, any Registration
Statement and the related Prospectus required to permit resales of Notes by
Broker-Dealers), the Company shall:

          (i) use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement
continuously effective and provide all requisite financial statements
(including, if required by the Securities Act or any regulation thereunder,
financial statements of the Guarantors of the Notes) for the period specified in
Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable; upon the occurrence of any
event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus
contained therein (A) to contain a material misstatement or omission or (B) not
to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during
the period required by this Agreement, the Company shall file promptly an
appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement, in the case of clause (A),
correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause
(A) or (B), use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to be
declared effective and such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to
become usable for their intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter;

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

          (iii) advise the underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders promptly
and, if requested by such Persons, confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the
Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been
filed, and, with respect to any Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the
Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or
supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto,
(C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the
suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the
Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the
initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of the
existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of
a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference
therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements
therein not misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state
securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order
suspending

                                        7

<PAGE>

the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted
Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company shall use its
best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest
possible time;

          (iv) furnish without charge to the Initial Purchasers, before filing
with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus
included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such Registration
Statement or Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after
the initial filing of such Registration Statement) and reflect in each such
document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as the Initial
Purchasers reasonably may propose within three business days of the delivery of
such copies to the Initial Purchasers.

          (v) make available at reasonable times for inspection by the Initial
Purchasers, any managing underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant
to such Registration Statement and any attorney or accountant retained by such
Initial Purchasers or any of the underwriter(s), all financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, make
available during reasonable times the representatives of the Company for
discussion of such Registration Statement and other customary due diligence
matters and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney or
accountant in connection with such Registration Statement subsequent to the
filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness;

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

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

          (viii) furnish to each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s),
if any, without charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as
first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including
financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated by reference
therein and, upon request, all exhibits (including exhibits incorporated therein
by reference);

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

          (x) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement),
and make such representations and warranties, and take all such other actions in
connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement
contemplated by this Agreement, all to such extent as may be requested by any
Initial Purchaser or by any

                                        8

<PAGE>

Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or underwriter in connection with any
sale or resale pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this
Agreement; and whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and
whether or not the registration is an Underwritten Registration, the Company
shall:

          (A) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, each selling Holder and each
     underwriter, if any, in such substance and scope as are customarily made by
     issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings, upon the date of
     the Consummation of the Exchange Offer and, if applicable, the
     effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement:

               (1) a certificate, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange
          Offer or the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
          Statement, as the case may be, signed by (y) the Chief Executive
          Officer and (z) the Chief Financial Officer of the Company,
          confirming, as of the date thereof, the matters set forth in
          paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5(e) of the Purchase
          Agreement and such other matters as such parties may reasonably
          request;

               (2) an opinion, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange
          Offer or the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
          Statement, as the case may be, of counsel for the Company, covering
          the matters set forth in paragraph (c) of Section 5 of the Purchase
          Agreement and such other matters as such parties may reasonably
          request, and in any event including a statement to the effect that
          such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other
          representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent
          public accountants for the Company, the Initial Purchasers'
          representatives and the Initial Purchasers' counsel in connection with
          the preparation of such Registration Statement and the related
          Prospectus and have considered the matters required to be stated
          therein and the statements contained therein, although such counsel
          has not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness
          of such statements; and that such counsel advises that, on the basis
          of the foregoing (relying as to materiality to a large extent upon
          facts provided to such counsel by officers and other representatives
          of the Company and without independent check or verification), no
          facts came to such counsel's attention that caused such counsel to
          believe that the applicable Registration Statement, at the time such
          Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto became
          effective, and, in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration
          Statement, as of the date of Consummation, contained an untrue
          statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
          required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
          therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus contained in such
          Registration Statement as of its date and, in the case of the opinion
          dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, as of the date
          of Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or
          omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
          statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
          were made, not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, such
          counsel may state further that such counsel assumes no responsibility
          for, and has not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or
          fairness of the financial statements, notes and schedules and other
          financial data included in any Registration Statement contemplated by
          this Agreement or the related Prospectus; and

               (3) a customary comfort letter, dated as of the date of
          Consummation of the Exchange Offer or the date of effectiveness of the
          Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, from the Company's
          independent accountants, in the customary form and covering matters of
          the type customarily covered in comfort letters by underwriters in

                                        9

<PAGE>

          connection with primary underwritten offerings, and affirming the
          matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section
          5(a) of the Purchase Agreement, without exception;

          (B) set forth in full or incorporate by reference in the underwriting
     agreement, if any, the indemnification provisions and procedures of Section
     8 hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said
     Section; and

          (C) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably
     requested by such parties to evidence compliance with clause (A) above and
     with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or
     other agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to this clause (xi),
     if any.

          If at any time the representations and warranties of the Company
contemplated in clause (A)(1) above cease to be true and correct, the Company
shall so advise the Initial Purchasers and the underwriter(s), if any, and each
selling Holder promptly and, if requested by such Persons, shall confirm such
advice in writing;

          (xi) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities,
cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriter(s), if any, and their
respective counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the
Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as the selling Holders or underwriter(s) may reasonably request
and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to
enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to register or qualify as a foreign
corporation where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would
subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to
matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

          (xii) shall issue, upon the request of any Holder of Initial Notes
covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, Exchange Notes having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes
surrendered to the Company by such Holder in exchange therefor or being sold by
such Holder; such Exchange Notes to be registered in the name of such Holder or
in the name of the purchaser(s) of such Notes, as the case may be; in return,
the Initial Notes held by such Holder shall be surrendered to the Company for
cancellation;

          (xiii) cooperate with the selling Holders and the underwriter(s), if
any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any
restrictive legends; and enable such Transfer Restricted Securities to be in
such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders or the
underwriter(s), if any, may request at least two business days prior to any sale
of Transfer Restricted Securities made by such underwriter(s);

          (xiv) use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such
other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the
seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the
disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso
contained in clause (viii) above;

          (xv) if any fact or event contemplated by clause (c)(iii)(D) above
shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment
to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated
therein by reference or file any other required document so that,

                                       10

<PAGE>

as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the
Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

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

          (xvii) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with
the NASD and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any
underwriter (including any "qualified independent underwriter") that is required
to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD, and use
its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
effective and approved by such governmental agencies or authorities as may be
necessary to enable the Holders selling Transfer Restricted Securities to
consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities;

          (xviii) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its
security holders, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings statement
(which need not be audited) meeting the requirements of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder;

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

          (xx) cause all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the
Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar
securities issued by the Company are then listed if requested by the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes or the managing
underwriter(s), if any; and

          (xxi) provide promptly to each Holder upon request each document filed
with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 and Section 15 of
the Exchange Act.

               Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted
Security that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the existence of
any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof, such Holder will
forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to
the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies
of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xv)
hereof, or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that the
use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional
or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. If
so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the
Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such
Holder's possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted
Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event
the Company shall give any such notice, the time period regarding the
effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof,
as applicable, shall be extended by the number of days during the period from
and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section
6(c)(iii)(D) hereof to and including the date when each selling Holder covered
by such Registration Statement shall have received the copies

                                       11

<PAGE>

of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xv)
hereof or shall have received the Advice; however, no such extension shall be
taken into account in determining whether Liquidated Damages are due pursuant to
Section 5 hereof or the amount of such Liquidated Damages, it being agreed that
the Company's option to suspend use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this
paragraph shall be treated as a Registration Default for purposes of Section 5.

Section 7. Registration Expenses

     (a) All expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance
with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless of whether a
Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all
registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made by any Initial
Purchaser or Holder with the NASD (and, if applicable, the fees and expenses of
any "qualified independent underwriter" and its counsel that may be required by
the rules and regulations of the NASD)); (ii) all fees and expenses of
compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii)
all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Notes
to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses); (iv)
reasonable messenger and delivery services and telephone expenses; (v) all fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Company and, subject to Section 7(b) below,
the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; (vi) all application and filing
fees in connection with listing the Exchange Notes on a national securities
exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements thereof; and
(vii) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of
the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters
required by or incident to such performance).

          The Company will, in any event, bear its internal expenses (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the
fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the
Company.

     (b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this
Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), the Company will reimburse the
Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities being
tendered in the Exchange Offer and/or resold pursuant to the "Plan of
Distribution" contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or
registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the
reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be
Shearman & Sterling or such other counsel as may be chosen by the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose
benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not have any
obligation to pay any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable
to the sale by Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities.

Section 8. Indemnification

     (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder and
(ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Holder (any of the Persons
referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a "controlling
person") and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees,
representatives and agents of any Holder or any controlling person (any Person
referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an
"Indemnified Holder"), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses
(including without limitation

                                       12

<PAGE>

and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating,
preparing, pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or
action, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body,
commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
to any Indemnified Holder), joint or several, directly or indirectly caused by,
related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto),
or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are
caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission that is made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by any of the
Holders expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition
to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

          In case any action or proceeding (including any governmental or
regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought or asserted against any
of the Indemnified Holders with respect to which indemnity may be sought against
the Company, such Indemnified Holder (or the Indemnified Holder controlled by
such controlling person) shall promptly notify the Company in writing (provided,
that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Company of its
obligations pursuant to this Agreement unless and to the extent the Company did
not otherwise learn of such action and such failure to notify results in the
forfeiture by the Company of substantive rights of defense). Such Indemnified
Holder shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid, as incurred, by the
Company (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified
Holder is not entitled to indemnification hereunder). The Company shall not, in
connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially
similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out
of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to
any local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be
designated by the Holders. The Company shall be liable for any settlement of any
such action or proceeding effected with the Company's prior written consent,
which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and the Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Holder from and against any loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of any settlement of any action
effected with the written consent of the Company. The Company shall not, without
the prior written consent of each Indemnified Holder, settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending
or threatened action, claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any
Indemnified Holder is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise,
consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified
Holder from all liability arising out of such action, claim, litigation or
proceeding.

     (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers
of the Company who sign a Registration Statement, and any Person controlling
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act) the Company, and the respective officers, directors, partners,
employees, representatives and agents of each such Person, to the same extent as
the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each of the Indemnified Holders, but
only with respect to claims and actions based on information relating to such
Holder furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration
Statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Company
or its directors or officers or any such controlling person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought against a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, such
Holder shall have the rights and duties given the Company and the Company or its
directors or officers or such controlling person shall have the rights and
duties given to each Holder by the preceding paragraph. In no event shall the
liability of any selling Holder

                                       13

<PAGE>

hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received
by such Holder upon the sale of the Notes giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.

     (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to
an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) hereof (other than by
reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses referred to
therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand,
from the Initial Placement (which in the case of the Company shall be deemed to
be equal to the total gross proceeds from the Initial Placement as set forth on
the cover page of the Offering Memorandum), the amount of Liquidated Damages
which did not become payable as a result of the filing of the Registration
Statement resulting in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments,
actions or expenses, and such Registration Statement, or if such allocation is
not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault of the Company on the one
hand, and of the Indemnified Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnified Holder
on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company or by the Indemnified Holder and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be
deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the second paragraph
of Section 8(a), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such
party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.

          The Company and each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section
8(c) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as
one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, none of
the Holders (and its related Indemnified Holders) shall be required to
contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total discount received by such Holder with respect to the Initial Notes exceeds
the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay
by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders'
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(c) are several in
proportion to the respective principal amount of Initial Notes held by each of
the Holders hereunder and not joint.

Section 9. Rule 144A

          The Company hereby agrees with each Holder, for so long as any
Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, to make available to any
Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with
any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted
Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by
Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A.

                                       14

<PAGE>

Section 10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations

          No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder
unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder's Transfer Restricted
Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by
the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes
and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the
terms of such underwriting arrangements.

Section 11. Selection of Underwriters

          The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted
Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the
investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will
administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in
such offering; provided, that such investment bankers and managers must be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

Section 12. Miscellaneous

     (a) Remedies. The Company hereby agrees that monetary damages would not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the
provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

     (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered into, and on or
after the date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with respect
to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in
this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights
granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not
inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's securities
under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

     (c) Adjustments Affecting the Notes. The Company will not take any action,
or permit any change to occur, with respect to the Notes that would materially
and adversely affect the ability of the Holders to consummate any Exchange
Offer.

     (d) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has obtained the
written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of
Transfer Restricted Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or
consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the
rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange
Offer and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other
Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer
may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of
Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered or registered; provided that, with
respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any
Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of
each such Initial Purchaser with respect to which such amendment, qualification,
supplement, waiver, consent or departure is to be effective.

     (e) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted
hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail
(registered or certified, return receipt requested), telex, telecopier, or air
courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:
