Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent's record of

         SECTION 2.3       DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS.

                  (a)      AVAILABILITY. No later than 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas
time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Lender will make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount
(if any) by which the principal amount of the Borrowing requested to be made on
such date by such Lender exceeds the principal amount of Loans (if any) of such
Lender maturing on such date, in Dollars and in immediately available funds at
the Payment Office. The Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower
at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts (if any) so made available by
the Lenders by either (1) depositing such amounts, in immediately available
funds, to an account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent designated by
the Borrower for such purpose, or (2)disbursing such amounts in accordance with
such other lawful instructions of the Borrower as the Borrower shall specify in
writing to the Administrative Agent. To the extent that Revolving Credit Loans
mature or are otherwise due and owing on the date of a requested Borrowing of
Revolving Credit Loans, the Lenders shall apply the proceeds of the Revolving
Credit Loans then being made, to the extent thereof, to the repayment of such
maturing and applicable Revolving Credit Loans, such Revolving Credit Loans and
repayments intended to be a contemporaneous exchange.

                  (b)      FUNDS TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of
a Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Borrowing to be
made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the
Administrative Agent may make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.
If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative
Agent by such Lender on the date of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender
together with interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender does
not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's
demand therefore, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower,
and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent together with interest at the rate specified for the
Borrowing which includes such amount paid. Nothing in this Section 2.3(b) shall
be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments
hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any
Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

                  (c)      LENDERS' RESPONSIBILITIES. No Lender shall be
responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans
hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make only such Loans provided

date, less the aggregate amount of any other principal payments or prepayments
due during such Interest Period, is equal to or in excess of the amount of such

Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article 8), and (2) the amounts
specified in Section 2.4(b), on the dates specified in Section 2.4(b) (or such
earlier date on which the Term Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article

this Agreement.

                  (c)      REGISTER. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the

any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (3) both the amount of any sum received

<PAGE>

Applicable Percentage thereof. The entries made in the Register and the accounts
of each Lender maintained pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however,
that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the

affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the
Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

Eurodollar Loans, and 365 or 366 days (as the case may be) in the case of Base
Rate Loans, and all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a year of
360 days (unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case
interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first
day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest
or fees are payable.

         SECTION 2.12      INTEREST RATE NOT ASCERTAINABLE, ETC. In the event
that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall
be reasonably exercised and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive
and binding upon all parties) that on any date for determining the Eurodollar
Rate for any Interest Period, by reason of any changes arising after the date of
this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, or any Lender's
position in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining
the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of
Eurodollar Rate, then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent shall
forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to
the Lenders of such determination. Until the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein
no longer exist, the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans shall
be immediately suspended; any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans that is requested
(by continuation, conversion or otherwise) shall instead be made as a Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans, and any outstanding Eurodollar Loan shall be converted, on
the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, to a Base
Rate Loan.

         SECTION 2.13      ILLEGALITY.

                  (a)      DETERMINATIONS OF ILLEGALITY. In the event that any
Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be reasonably exercised
and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all
parties) at any time that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has
become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any
applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (whether or
not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would
be unlawful), then, in any such event, the Lender shall give prompt notice (by
telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent
of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly
transmit to the other Lenders).

                  (b)      EURODOLLAR LOANS SUSPENDED. Upon the giving of the
notice to the Borrower referred to in Section 2.13(a) above, (1) the Borrower's
right to request (by continuation, conversion or otherwise) and such Lender's
obligation to make Eurodollar Loans shall be immediately suspended, and
thereafter any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall, as to such Lender
only, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, and (2) if the affected
Eurodollar Loan or Eurodollar Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall
immediately, or if permitted by applicable law, no later than the date permitted
thereby, upon at least one Business Day's written notice to the Administrative
Agent and the affected Lender, convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a Base
Rate Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then
all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this subsection.

         SECTION 2.14      INCREASED COSTS.

                  (a)      EURODOLLAR REGULATIONS, ETC. If, by reason of (x) the
introduction of or any change (including, but not limited to, any change by way
of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation
of any law or regulation, or (y) the compliance with any guideline or request
issued by any central bank or other governmental authority or quasi-governmental
authority exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally
(whether or not having the force of law):

                           (1)      any Lender (or its applicable Lending
         Office) shall be subject to any tax, duty or other charge with respect
         to its Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or
         shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the
         principal of or interest on its Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to
         make Eurodollar Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the
         overall net income or gross receipts of such Lender or its applicable
         Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender's
         principal executive office or applicable Lending Office is located); or

                           (2)      any reserve (including, but not limited to,
         any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
         but excluding any such reserve requirement that is reflected in the
         Eurodollar Rate), special deposit or similar requirement against assets
         of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any
         Lender or its applicable Lending Office shall be imposed or deemed
         applicable or any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Loans or its
         obligations to make Eurodollar

                                       30

<PAGE>

         Loans shall be imposed on any Lender or its applicable Lending Office
         or the interbank Eurodollar market or the secondary certificate of
         deposit market;

and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender
of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Loans (except
to the extent already included in the determination of the applicable Eurodollar
Rate) or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such
Lender or its applicable Lending Office, then the Borrower shall from time to
time, upon written notice from and demand by such Lender (with a copy of such
notice and demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to such Lender on demand
additional amounts determined by such Lender in a reasonable manner to be
sufficient to indemnify such Lender against such increased cost. A certificate
as to the amount of such increased cost and the calculation thereof, submitted
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall, except for
manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

                  (b)      COSTS. If any Lender shall advise the Administrative
Agent that at any time, because of the circumstances described in clauses (x) or
(y) in Section 2.14(a) or any other circumstances affecting such Lender or the
interbank Eurodollar market or such Lender's position in such market, the
Eurodollar Rate, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, will
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding its
Eurodollar Loans, then, and in any such event:

                           (1)      the Administrative Agent shall forthwith
         give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to
         the Lenders of such advice; and

                           (2)      the Borrower's right to request a Borrowing
         of Eurodollar Loans from such Lender and such Lender's obligation to
         make Eurodollar Loans shall be immediately suspended, any such
         Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans that is requested (by continuation,
         conversion or otherwise) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed to be
         a request for a Base Rate Loan, and any such outstanding Eurodollar
         Loan from such Lender shall be converted, on the last day of the then
         current Interest Period applicable thereto, to a Base Rate Loan.

                  (c)      CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If, by reason of (1) the
introduction of or any change (including, but not limited to, any change by way
of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation
of any law or regulation, or (2) the compliance with any guideline or request
issued by any central bank or other governmental authority or quasi-governmental
authority exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally
(whether or not having the force of law), affects or would affect the amount of
capital required to be maintained by any Lender or any corporation controlling
such Lender, and the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the
existence of such Lender's Loans or such Lender's Commitment, then, upon written
request therefor by such Lender (with a copy of such request to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time
as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender for the increased cost of such additional capital in light of such
circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such
increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender's Loans or
such Lender's Commitment. A certificate as to such amounts and the calculation

                                       31

<PAGE>

thereof, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender,
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

         SECTION 2.15      CHANGE OF LENDING OFFICE. Each Lender agrees that it
will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending Office with
respect to any of its Eurodollar Loans affected by the matters or circumstances
described in Section 2.12, Section 2.13 or Section 2.14 to reduce the liability
of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such
designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender
in its sole discretion, provided that such Lender shall have no obligation to so
designate an alternate Lending Office located in the United States.

         SECTION 2.16      FUNDING LOSSES. The Borrower shall compensate each
Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the basis for
requesting such amounts and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive
and binding upon all of the parties hereto), for all losses, expenses and
liabilities (including, but not limited to, any interest paid by such Lender to
lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Loans to the
extent not recovered by the Lender in connection with the re-employment of such
funds), which the Lender may sustain: (a) if for any reason (other than a
default by such Lender) a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans does not occur on the
date specified therefor in a Borrowing Request (whether or not withdrawn),
including, but not limited to, a failure by the Borrower to fulfill on the date
of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans the conditions set forth in Article 3, or
to convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of
such conversion or continuation has been given pursuant to Section 2.9; if any
payment, prepayment or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans required or
permitted by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise is made or
deemed made on a date which is not the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto; or (c) if, for any reason, the Borrower defaults in its
obligation to repay its Eurodollar Loans or interest accrued thereon as and when
due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether at scheduled maturity, by
acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment or otherwise).

         SECTION 2.17      SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC. If any Lender shall obtain
any payment or reduction (including, but not limited to, any amounts received as
adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy
Code) of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (whether voluntary,
involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in
excess of its ratable share of payments or reductions on account of such
obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith (a) notify
each of the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent of such receipt, and (b)
purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the affected obligations
as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment or reduction, net of costs incurred in connection therewith, ratably
with each of them, provided, that if all or any portion of such excess payment
or reduction is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or additional
costs are incurred, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery or such additional costs, but without
interest. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from
another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the
direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

         SECTION  2.18     TAXES.

                  (a)      PAYMENTS FREE AND CLEAR. Any and all payments by or
on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;
provided, that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes from such payments, then (1) the sum payable shall be increased
as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.18) the
Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (2) the
Borrower shall make such deductions, and (3) the Borrower shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

                  (b)      OTHER TAXES. The Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

                  (c)      INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, upon written demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent
or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on
account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section 2.18) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent
on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

                  (d)      RECEIPTS. As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

                  (e)      SURVIVAL. Without prejudice to the survival of any
other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in
this Section 2.18 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest
hereunder.

                  (f)      LENDER REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS. Any Foreign
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any
treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under
this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate.

         SECTION 2.19      PRO RATA TREATMENT. Subject to Section 2.3(b), each
Borrowing of Revolving Loans or the SPA Loan, as the case may be, shall be made,
and each payment on account of any commitment fee in respect of the Revolving
Credit Commitments and SPA Loan Commitments, respectively, hereunder shall be
allocated by the Administrative Agent, pro rata according to the relevant
Revolving Credit Percentages and SPA Loan Percentages, respectively, of the
Lenders. Subject to Section 2.3(b), each payment (including each prepayment) on
account of principal of and interest on any Revolving Credit Loans shall be
allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Loans or SPA Loans, as the case
may be, then held by the Lenders. Each payment on account of principal of and
interest on any Term Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro
rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Term A
Loans or SPA Term Loans, as the case may be, then held by the Lenders. All
proceeds (including proceeds from the realization upon the Collateral) received
after acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, shall be applied first to
reimbursement of expenses and indemnities provided for in this Agreement and the
Financing Documents; second, to other Lender Indebtedness until repaid in full
pro rata to each Lender; and, third, to any other Person entitled to receive
such proceeds in accordance with applicable law.

                                   ARTICLE 4
                                    SECURITY

         SECTION 4.1       SECURITY GRANTED. The Lender Indebtedness shall be
secured by (a) perfected, first priority Liens covering and encumbering the
issued and outstanding Equity owned by the Borrower in HRY as described in the
Pledge Agreement, and (b) a collateral assignment of the Parent Intercompany
Notes. In furtherance thereof, Parent and the Borrower hereby agree to execute,
authorize and deliver (and cause each other Credit Party to execute and deliver)
to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, on the Closing Date
and thereafter promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, such Security
Instruments (including, without limitation, the Pledge Agreement and the
Collateral Assignment of Intercompany Notes), and other documents, instruments,
agreements and certificates (including, without limitation, (1) such UCC-1
financing statements as the Administrative Agent shall request to fully evidence
and perfect the Liens created by the Pledge Agreement and the Collateral
Assignment of Intercompany Notes, and (2) the certificates evidencing the issued
and outstanding Equity owned by the Borrower in HRY, as described in the Pledge
Agreement, endorsed or accompanied by appropriate blank stock powers), as the
Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion
to create, evidence and perfect the Liens contemplated by this Section 4.1. In
addition to the foregoing, in the event the Borrower submits additional
Collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4 or
Section 7.4, or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other
Financing Documents, the Borrower shall simultaneously with the delivery of such
Collateral execute, authorize and deliver (or cause the execution and delivery)
to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders such Security
Instruments and other documents, instruments, agreements and certificates as the
Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion
to create, evidence and perfect the Liens encumbering such Collateral. Parent
and the Borrower hereby consent and authorize the Administrative Agent and its
agents, successors and assigns to file any and all necessary financing
statements under the UCC, assignments or continuation statements as necessary
from time to time (in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion) to perfect (or
continue perfection) of the Liens granted pursuant to the Financing Documents.

         SECTION 4.2       COLLATERAL VALUE. As soon as available, and in any
event by the 21st day of each calendar month, Parent shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, a certificate (the "COLLATERAL VALUE
CERTIFICATE") of the Chief Financial Officer (or similar officer) of Parent in
the form of attached hereto (a) setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculations required to establish the value of the Marketable Equity as of the
last day of the immediately preceding calendar month, (b) stating whether there
exists on such date a Benchmark Collateral Deficiency, and (c) in the event a
Benchmark Collateral Deficiency exists, stating the action which Parent proposes
to take to remedy such Benchmark Collateral Deficiency in accordance with
Section 4.3. All calculations provided in the aforementioned certificate shall
be made utilizing historical methodology and based on underlying assumptions
consented to by the Administrative Agent and previously utilized by Parent in
the financial information delivered to each Lender on or prior to the Closing
Date. Notwithstanding anything

                                       38

<PAGE>

to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall
have the right to calculate and establish the value of the Marketable Equity at
any time in accordance with the historical methodology and procedures described
in the immediately preceding sentence.

         SECTION  4.3      BENCHMARK COLLATERAL DEFICIENCY. If a Benchmark
Collateral Deficiency exists at any time, the Borrower shall, within ten (10)
days following the occurrence of such Benchmark Collateral Deficiency (a) make a
prepayment of principal on the Loans as set forth in Section 2.8(d)(1) in an
amount sufficient to eliminate such Benchmark Collateral Deficiency, or (b)
eliminate such Benchmark Collateral Deficiency by submitting additional
Collateral owned by Parent or the Borrower and consisting of cash or marketable
Equity, together with a Collateral Value Certificate covering the existing
pledged Collateral and such additional proposed Collateral, for consideration in
connection with the determination of the value of the Collateral consisting of
marketable Equity which the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders deem
sufficient in their sole discretion to eliminate such Benchmark Collateral
Deficiency.

         SECTION  4.4      SUBSTITUTION OF COLLATERAL. The Borrower may, at any
time and from time to time, make written request of the Administrative Agent for
the substitution of existing Collateral with new Collateral of equal or greater
value. Upon receipt of such request, together with a Collateral Value
Certificate covering such proposed new Collateral, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly deliver notice of such request to each Lender, and the Lenders
shall, within fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice, and in their
sole discretion, approve or disapprove of such proposed substitution. If at the
end of such fifteen (15) day period, the Lenders have not communicated their
approval or disapproval, such silence shall be deemed a disapproval of the
requested substitution of Collateral.

                                   ARTICLE 5
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, Parent and
the Borrower jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Administrative
Agent and each Lender (which representations and warranties will survive the
delivery of the Notes) that:

         SECTION 5.1       EXISTENCE. Each Credit Party is a limited liability
company, corporation or partnership duly organized, legally existing and, as
applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdictions in which they
are formed or incorporated and is duly qualified as a foreign limited liability
company, or partnership or corporation in all jurisdictions wherein the Property
owned or the business transacted by them makes such qualification necessary,
except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 5.2       POWER AND AUTHORIZATION. The Borrower is authorized
and empowered to create and issue the Notes; each Credit Party is duly
authorized and empowered to execute, deliver and perform the Financing
Documents, including this Agreement, to which such Credit Party is a party; and
all limited liability company action on the Borrower's part requisite for the
due creation and issuance of the Notes, and all limited liability company,
corporate or partnership action on each Credit Party's respective part requisite
for the due execution, delivery

                                       39

<PAGE>

and performance of the Financing Documents, including this Agreement, to which
each such Credit Party respectively is a party has been duly and effectively
taken.

         SECTION 5.3       BINDING OBLIGATIONS. This Agreement does, and the
Notes and other material Financing Documents to which each Credit Party
respectively is a party upon their creation, issuance, execution and delivery
will, when issued and delivered under this Agreement, constitute legal, valid
and binding obligations of each such Credit Party that is a party thereto,
respectively, and will be enforceable in accordance with their respective terms
(except that enforcement may be subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar laws generally affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and
subject to the availability of equitable remedies).

         SECTION 5.4       NO LEGAL BAR OR RESULTANT LIEN. The execution,
delivery and performance of the Notes and the other Financing Documents,
including this Agreement, to which each Credit Party is a party do not and will
not violate or create a default under any provisions of the articles of
organization, articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws, operating
agreement, regulations or other charter documents of any such Credit Party, or
any contract, agreement, instrument or Governmental Requirement to which any
such Credit Party is subject, or result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien upon any Properties of any such Credit Party.

         SECTION 5.5       NO CONSENT. Each Credit Party's respective execution,
delivery and performance of the Notes and the other Financing Documents,
including this Agreement, to which each such Credit Party respectively is a
party, do not require notice to or filing or registration with, or the
authorization, consent or approval of or other action by any other Person,
including, but not limited to, any Governmental Authority, except those obtained
or made or where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 5.6       FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

                  (a)      PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PROJECTIONS. The
pro forma consolidated balance sheets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, and the
related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flow,
including, in each case, the related schedules and notes, heretofore delivered
to the Lenders fairly present the estimated consolidated financial condition of
Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the dates set forth therein, the estimated
results of operations for the twelve-month period then ended on a pro forma
basis and the projected results of operations through the dates set forth
therein; provided, that, the financial information with respect to Parent's
projections, copies of which have been delivered to each Lender prior to the
Closing Date, were prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated
therein, which assumptions were believed by Parent to be reasonable in all
material respects at the time made.

                  (b)      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Financial Statements
heretofore delivered to the Lenders were prepared consistent with GAAP and
fairly present the consolidated financial condition of Parent at such date and
the consolidated results of operations for the periods then ended (subject to,
with respect to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the

                                       40

<PAGE>

definition of Financial Statements, audit adjustments and the fact that such
unaudited financial statements do not contain footnotes).

                  (c)      AUDITED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The most recent
annual audited consolidated balance sheets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, and
the related audited consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and
cash flows for the Fiscal Year then ended, including in each case the related
schedules and notes, true copies of which have been previously delivered to each
of the Lenders, fairly present the consolidated financial condition of Parent
and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year, and the consolidated results of
operations for such Fiscal Year, in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent
basis (this representation and warranty will not be applicable until the first
annual audited statement of Parent is delivered pursuant to Section 6.9(a)).

                  (d)      UNAUDITED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The most
recent unaudited consolidated balance sheets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, and
the related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows
for the portion of Parent's Fiscal Year then ended, including in each case the
related schedules and notes, true copies of which have been previously delivered
to each of the Lenders, fairly present the consolidated financial condition of
Parent and its Subsidiaries as of such date, and the consolidated results of
operations for such portion of Parent's Fiscal Year, in accordance with GAAP
(subject to audit adjustments and the fact that such financial statements do not
contain footnotes) applied on a consistent basis (this representation and
warranty will not be applicable until the first unaudited quarterly statement of
Parent is delivered pursuant to Section 6.9(b)).

                  (e)      NO MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT. Except in connection with
the disclosures set forth on Schedule 5.8, since March 31, 2003 there has been
no event or occurrence that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 5.7       INVESTMENTS AND GUARANTIES. No Credit Party has an
ownership interest in any Person, or guaranteed the obligations of any Person
that is not a Credit Party, except those reflected in Schedule 5.7 or Schedule
7.2.

         SECTION 5.8       LITIGATION. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.8,
there is no material action, suit or proceeding, or any governmental
investigation or any arbitration, in each case pending or, to the knowledge of
Parent or the Borrower, threatened against Parent or its Subsidiaries or any
Property of any of them before any court or arbitrator or any Governmental
Authority. There is no action, suit or proceeding, or any governmental
investigation or any arbitration, in each case pending or, to the knowledge of
Parent or the Borrower, threatened against Parent or its Subsidiaries or any
Property of any of them before any court or arbitrator or any Governmental
Authority which (a) challenges the validity of this Agreement, any Note, any
Security Instrument or any of the other Financing Documents, or (b) could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 5.9       USE OF PROCEEDS. The Borrower will use the proceeds
of the Loans only for the purposes specified in the Recitals to this Agreement

                                       41

<PAGE>

principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending
credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or
carrying Margin Stock (within the meaning of Regulations U or X) and no part of
the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used to buy or carry any Margin Stock
in violation of Regulation U or X. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries,
nor any Person acting on behalf of any such Person, has taken or will take any
action which could reasonably be expected to cause the Notes or any of the
Financing Documents, including this Agreement, to violate Regulations U or X or
any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in
each case as now in effect or as the same may hereinafter be in effect.

         SECTION 5.10      EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.

                  (a)      (1)      Parent, its Subsidiaries and each ERISA
Affiliate have complied in all material respects with all applicable laws
regarding each Plan; (2) each Plan is, and has been, maintained and administered
in substantial compliance with its terms, applicable collective bargaining
agreements, and all applicable laws; and (3) no act, omission or transaction has
occurred which could result in an imposition on Parent, any Subsidiary of Parent
or any ERISA Affiliate (whether directly or indirectly) of either (A) a civil
penalty assessed pursuant to Subsections (c), (i) or (l) of Section 502 of ERISA
or a tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 43 of Subtitle D of the Code or (B) breach
of fiduciary duty liability damages under Section 409 of ERISA, in either case
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b)      There exists no outstanding liability of Parent, any
of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any Plan that has
been terminated. No material liability to the PBGC (other than for the payment
of current premiums which are not past due) by Parent, any Subsidiary of Parent
or any ERISA Affiliate has been or is expected by Parent, any Subsidiary of
Parent or any ERISA Affiliate to be incurred with respect to any Plan. No ERISA
Termination Event with respect to any Plan which could result in any liability
to Parent, its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur.

                  (c)      Full payment when due has been made of all amounts
which Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate is required under
the terms of each Plan or applicable law to have paid as contributions to such
Plan (excluding any nonpayment involving an amount that is not material), and no
accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section
412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any Plan.

                  (d)      The actuarial present value of the benefit
liabilities (computed on an accumulated benefit obligation basis in accordance
with GAAP) under all Plans in the aggregate that are subject to Title IV of
ERISA does not, as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal year of such
Plans, exceed the current value of the assets of all Plans in the aggregate that
are allocable to such benefit liabilities. The term "actuarial present value of
the benefit liabilities" shall have the meaning specified in Section 4041 of
ERISA.

                  (e)      Except as set forth on Schedule 5.10, neither Parent,
any Subsidiary of Parent nor any ERISA Affiliate sponsors, maintains or
contributes to, or has at any time in the preceding six-year period sponsored,
maintained or contributed to, any "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section
3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA).

                                       42

<PAGE>

                  (f)      Neither Parent, any Subsidiary of Parent nor any

401(a)(29) of the Code.

         SECTION 5.11      TAXES; GOVERNMENTAL CHARGES. Parent and its
Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns and reports required to be filed and
have paid all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied
upon any of them or upon any of their respective Properties or income which are
due and payable, including interest and penalties, except where failure to so
pay or file could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
or have provided adequate reserves for the payment thereof if required in
accordance with GAAP for the payment thereof, except such interest and penalties
as are being contested in good faith by appropriate actions or proceedings and
for which adequate reserves for the payment thereof as required by GAAP have
been provided.

         SECTION 5.12      TITLES, ETC. Each Credit Party has indefeasible title
to their respective Properties, and with respect to leased Properties,
indefeasible title to the leasehold estate with respect thereto, pursuant to
valid and enforceable leases, free and clear of all Liens except Liens otherwise
permitted or contemplated by this Agreement or the other Financing Documents.

         SECTION 5.13      DEFAULTS. Neither Parent, Borrower nor any other
Credit Party is in default nor has any event or circumstance occurred which, but
for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a
default (in any respect that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) under any loan or credit
agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or other
instrument or agreement evidencing or pertaining to any Indebtedness of any such
Person, or under any agreement or instrument to which any such Person is a party
or by which any such Person is bound, except as set forth on Schedule 5.13. No
Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing.

         SECTION 5.14      CASUALTIES; TAKING OF PROPERTIES. Neither the
business nor the Properties of Parent or its Subsidiaries has been affected in a
manner that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect as a result of any fire, explosion, earthquake, flood, drought,
windstorm, accident, strike or other labor disturbance, embargo, requisition or
taking of Property or cancellation of contracts, permits or concessions by any
domestic or foreign government or any agency thereof, riot, activities of armed
forces or acts of God or of any public enemy.

         SECTION 5.15      COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW. Neither Parent nor its
Subsidiaries:

                  (a)      is in violation of any Governmental Requirement; and

                  (b)      has failed to obtain any license, permit,
right-of-way, franchise or other right or governmental authorization necessary
to the ownership of any of their respective Properties or the conduct of their
respective business;

which violation or failure could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have (in the event that such violation or failure were asserted
by any Person through appropriate action) a Material Adverse Effect.

                                       43

         SECTION 5.16      NO MATERIAL MISSTATEMENTS. No written information,
exhibit, schedule or report prepared by or on behalf of Parent or the Borrower
and furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by or at the direction
of Parent and/or the Borrower or any of Parent's Subsidiaries in connection with
the negotiation of this Agreement contained any material misstatement of fact
or, when such statement is considered with all other written statements
furnished to the Lenders in that connection, omitted to state a material fact or
any fact necessary to make the statement contained therein not misleading;
provided, that, the financial information with respect to Parent's projections,
copies of which have been furnished to each Lender prior to the Closing Date,
were prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein,
which assumptions were believed by Parent to be reasonable in all material
respects at the time made.

         SECTION 5.17      INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. No Credit Party is an
"investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" that
is incorporated in or organized under the laws of the United States or any
"State," as those terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The execution and delivery by each Credit Party of this Agreement and
the other Financing Documents to which they respectively are parties and their
respective performance of the obligations provided for therein, will not result
in a violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

         SECTION 5.18      PUBLIC UTILITY HOLDING COMPANY ACT. No Credit Party
is a "holding company," or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company," or an
"affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary company" of a "holding
company," or a "public utility" within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, as amended.

         SECTION 5.19      SUBSIDIARIES. Schedule 5.19 hereto accurately
reflects, as of the Closing Date, (a) the jurisdiction of incorporation or
organization of Parent and its Subsidiaries, and (b) each jurisdiction in which
each such Person is qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation,
foreign partnership or foreign limited liability company. As of the Closing
Date, Parent has no Subsidiaries except those shown in Schedule 5.19, which
schedule was complete and accurate on such date.

         SECTION 5.20      INSURANCE. All policies of insurance owned or held by
Parent and its Subsidiaries (a) are sufficient for compliance with all
requirements of law and of all agreements to which any such Person is a party,
except where any insufficiency could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; (b) are valid, outstanding and enforceable policies;
(c) provide adequate insurance coverage in at least such amounts and against at
least such risks (but including any public liability) as are usually insured
against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar
business for the assets and operations of each such Person; and (d) will not in
any way be affected by, or terminate or lapse by reason of, the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. All such policies are in full force and effect,
all premiums with respect thereto have been paid in accordance with their
respective terms, and no notice of cancellation or termination has been received
with respect to any such policy. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries
maintains any formalized self-insurance program with respect to its assets or
operations or risks with respect thereto. Schedule 5.20 contains a complete and
accurate list of all such insurance policies, copies of which have previously
been made available to Lenders.

all relevant facts, conditions and circumstances, if any, pertaining to the
relevant Property.

                  (b)      NO LITIGATION. Without limitation of Section 5.21(a)
above, no Property of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, nor the operations
currently conducted thereon or, to the knowledge of Parent or any Subsidiary of
Parent, by any prior owner or operator of such Property or operation, is in
violation of or subject to any existing, pending or threatened action, suit,
investigation, inquiry or proceeding by or before any court or Governmental
Authority or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, to any remedial obligations
under applicable Environmental Laws, which violation, action, suit,
investigation, inquiry or proceeding could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, or which could reasonably be expected to result in
remedial obligations having a Material Adverse Effect, assuming disclosure to
the applicable Governmental Authority of all relevant facts, conditions and
circumstances, if any, pertaining to the relevant Property.

                  (c)      NOTICES, PERMITS, ETC. All notices, permits, licenses
or similar authorizations, if any, required to be obtained or filed by Parent or
any Subsidiary of Parent in connection with the operation or use of any and all
Property of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, including, but not limited to,
past or present treatment, storage, disposal or release of a hazardous substance
or solid waste into the environment, have been duly obtained or filed except to
the extent the failure to obtain or file such notices, permits, licenses or
similar authorizations could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, or which could reasonably be expected to result in remedial
obligations having a Material Adverse Effect, assuming disclosure to the
applicable Governmental Authority of all relevant facts, conditions and
circumstances, if any, pertaining to the relevant Property.

                  (d)      HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES CARRIERS. All hazardous
substances or solid waste generated at any and all Property by Parent or any
Subsidiary of Parent have in the past been transported, treated and disposed of
only by carriers maintaining valid permits under RCRA and any other applicable
Environmental Law, except to the extent the failure to have such substances or
waste transported, treated or disposed by such carriers could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and, to the knowledge of any Credit
Party, only at treatment, storage and disposal facilities maintaining valid
permits under RCRA and any other applicable Environmental Law, which carriers
and facilities have been and are operating in compliance with such permits,
except to the extent the failure to have such substances or waste treated,
stored or disposed at such facilities, or the failure of such carriers or
facilities to so operate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, or which could reasonably be expected to result in remedial
obligations having a Material Adverse Effect, assuming disclosure to the

initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its

Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless
and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the
Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any
Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender

instructions of the Required Lenders, or to the extent required by Section 10.2,
all of the Lenders.

RESULTING FROM, AS TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

         SECTION 9.7       FIRST BANK IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. With respect
to their obligations under this Agreement, the Loans made by it and the Notes
issued to it, First Bank, in its individual capacity as a Lender and not as the
Administrative Agent, shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any
other Lender or holder of a Note and may exercise the same as though it were not
performing the duties, if any, specified herein; and the terms "Lenders,"
"Required Lenders," "holders of Notes" or any similar terms shall, unless the
context clearly otherwise indicates, include First Bank in its individual
capacity. First Bank, in its individual capacity as a Lender and not as the
Administrative Agent, may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with
any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not
performing the duties, if any, specified herein, and may accept fees and other
consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this
Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

         SECTION 9.8       MAY TREAT LENDER AS OWNER. Each Credit Party and the
Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of such
Lender's Note for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative
Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making
such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of a Note shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent owner, transferee or assignee of such
Note or any promissory note or notes issued in exchange therefor.

         SECTION 9.9       SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

                  (a)      ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT RESIGNATION. The Administrative
Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders,
Parent and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by
the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, upon five days' notice to Parent and the Borrower, to
appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval of Parent and
the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and
shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring
Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders'
removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then, upon five (5) days' notice
to Parent and the Borrower, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of
the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (subject to approval of
Parent and the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), which
shall be a bank which maintains an office in the United States, or a commercial
bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State
thereof, or any Affiliate of such bank, having a combined capital and surplus of
at least $200,000,000.

                  (b)      RIGHTS, POWERS, ETC. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative
Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent

                                       63

<PAGE>

shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After
any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

limited to, by air courier), when delivered at the address specified in this
Section 10.1; provided, that no notice to the Administrative Agent shall be
effective until actually and physically received.

         SECTION 10.2      AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Neither this Agreement nor
any other Financing Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended,
supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 10.2. The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the
Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, (x) enter
into with any Credit Party to the extent a party hereto or thereto, written
amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Financing
Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or to the
other Financing Documents or changing in any manner the rights or obligations of
the Lenders or any Credit Party hereunder or thereunder or (y) waive at Parent's
or the Borrower's request, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders
or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument,
any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents or
any Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no
such amendment, supplement or modification shall:

                  (a)      (1) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of
maturity of any Loan or of any scheduled installment thereof, (2) reduce the
stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder, (3) extend the scheduled
date of any payment thereof, (4) modify any provision that provides for the
ratable sharing by the Lenders of any payment or prepayment of Lender
Indebtedness to provide for a non-ratable sharing thereof, (5) increase the
amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender's Commitment, or (6) amend,
modify or waive any provision of Section 2.17, in each case without the prior
written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

                  (b)      (1) change the currency in which any Loan is payable,
(2) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.2, or (3) reduce the

                                       64

<PAGE>

                  (c)      release (1) Parent from its obligations under the
Parent Guaranty, (2) any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under any
Subsidiary Facility Guaranty, or (3) any material part of the Collateral,
without the written consent of all of the Lenders, except as expressly permitted
hereby; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall release (without consent
from the Lenders) any Collateral sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of as
permitted by Section 7.4; and

                  (d)      amend, modify or waive any provision of Article 9
without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.

                  Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification
pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall apply to each of the Lenders and shall be
binding upon Parent, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any
waiver, Parent, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights
hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, and any Default waived shall
be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

         SECTION 10.3      NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure or delay
on the part of any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any
holder of any Note in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement or any
other Financing Document and no course of dealing between any Credit Party, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Note shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy
under the Notes, this Agreement or any other Financing Document preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy
under the Notes, this Agreement or any other Financing Document. The rights and
remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies which any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent or any
Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party not
required under the Notes, this Agreement or any other Financing Document in any
case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.

         SECTION 10.4      PAYMENT OF EXPENSES, INDEMNITIES, ETC. Parent and the
Borrower agree to (and shall be jointly and severally liable for):

                  (a)      EXPENSES. Whether or not the transactions hereby
contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Administrative Agent in the administration (both before and
after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel for the
Administrative Agent as to the rights and duties of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders with respect thereto) of, and in connection with the preparation,
execution and delivery of, recording or filing of, preservation of rights under,
enforcement of, and, after a Default, refinancing, renegotiation or
restructuring of, this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Financing Documents
and any amendment, waiver or consent relating thereto (including, but not
limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent, and in the case of enforcement, for any of the Lenders)
and, to the extent permitted by the Financing Documents,

or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to satisfy any obligation
of Parent, the Borrower, or the other Credit Parties under this Agreement or any
other Financing Document;

                  (b)      INDEMNIFICATION. INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
AND EACH LENDER, EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES,

WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST OR INVOLVE ANY OF THEM
(WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF THEM IS DESIGNATED A PARTY THERETO) AS A RESULT OF,
ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO (1) ANY ACTUAL OR PROPOSED USE BY THE
BORROWER OF THE PROCEEDS OF ANY OF THE LOANS; OR (2) ANY OTHER ASPECT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, AND THE FINANCING DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

IN CONNECTION WITH INVESTIGATING, DEFENDING OR PREPARING TO DEFEND ANY SUCH
ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING (INCLUDING ANY INVESTIGATIONS, LITIGATION OR INQUIRIES)

INVESTIGATIONS, LITIGATION OR INQUIRIES), CLAIMS, COSTS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES,
DAMAGES OR EXPENSES ARISING BY REASON OF ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER, EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS,
DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS AND AFFILIATES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.4(B) SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY ACTION, SUITS,
PROCEEDINGS, CLAIMS, COSTS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, OR EXPENSES TO THE
EXTENT, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT, CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT OF THE PARTY SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION;

                  (c)      ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION. INDEMNIFY AND HOLD
HARMLESS FROM TIME TO TIME THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER, EACH PERSON
CLAIMING BY, THROUGH, UNDER OR ON ACCOUNT OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING AND THE
RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, COUNSEL, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES,
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF EACH OF THE FOREGOING FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL

ASSIGNS OF EACH OF THE FOREGOING (1) UNDER ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW APPLICABLE TO
PARENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE TREATMENT OR DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
ON ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES, (2) AS A RESULT OF THE BREACH OR
NON-COMPLIANCE BY PARENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY WITH ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
APPLICABLE TO PARENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY, (3) DUE TO PAST OWNERSHIP BY

PARTY OF ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES OR PAST ACTIVITY ON ANY OF THEIR
RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES WHICH, THOUGH LAWFUL AND FULLY PERMISSIBLE AT THE TIME,

NOT TO BRING AGAINST ANY OF THE PERSONS INDEMNIFIED IN THIS SECTION 10.4 ANY
DEMAND, CLAIM, COST RECOVERY ACTION OR LAWSUIT THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE OR
ACCRUE (WHICH RELATE TO OR ARISE AS A RESULT OF THE LOANS OR ANY FINANCING
DOCUMENT) ARISING FROM (1) ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW NOW OR HEREAFTER ENACTED
(INCLUDING THOSE APPLICABLE TO PARENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY) UNLESS THE ACTS
OR OMISSIONS OF ANY SUCH PERSON OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS ARE
THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES GIVING RISE TO SUCH DEMAND, COST RECOVERY
ACTION OR LAWSUIT, (2) THE PRESENCE, USE, RELEASE, STORAGE, TREATMENT OR
DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES ON OR AT ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OWNED OR
OPERATED BY PARENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY, OR (3) THE BREACH OR
NON-COMPLIANCE BY PARENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY WITH ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW OR
ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANT APPLICABLE TO PARENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY, UNLESS
THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF SUCH PERSON, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS ARE THE PRIMARY
CAUSE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES GIVING RISE TO SUCH DEMAND, CLAIM, COST RECOVERY
ACTION OR LAWSUIT.

If and to the extent that the obligations of Parent and the Borrower under this
Section 10.4 are unenforceable for any reason, Parent and the Borrower each
hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of
such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. Parent's and the
Borrower's obligations under this Section 10.4 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Notes.

         SECTION 10.5      RIGHT OF SETOFF. In addition to and not in limitation
of all rights of offset that any Lender may have under applicable law, each
Lender or other holder of a Note, or any other Lender Indebtedness shall, upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time during the continuance
thereof and whether or not such Lender, or such holder has made any demand or
the Borrower's obligations are matured, have the right at any time and from time
to time, without notice to Parent or the Borrower (any such notice being
expressly waived by Parent and the Borrower) to set-off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by any Lender to

                                       67

<PAGE>

or for the credit or the account of Parent or the Borrower against any and all
of the Lender Indebtedness owing to such Lender then outstanding, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.17.

         SECTION 10.6      BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. The Notes, this Agreement and
the other Financing Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto, provided, that neither Parent, the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor
may assign or transfer any of its interest hereunder or thereunder without the
prior written consent of the Lenders.

         SECTION 10.7      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; PARTICIPATIONS AND
ASSIGNMENTS.

                  (a)      The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Parent nor the
Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by Parent or the Borrower without such consent shall be
null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

                  (b)      Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or
a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided,
that (1) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give their prior
written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), (2) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender's Commitments, the amount of the Commitments of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $250,000 unless each of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (3) each partial assignment shall be
made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, (4) the parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance in the form of Exhibit D hereto (each, an "ASSIGNMENT AND
ACCEPTANCE"), together with a processing fee of $500 and all applicable
recordation fees, and (5) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent such information relevant to such assignee
as the Administrative Agent shall request to evidence such assignee as a Lender
hereunder; and provided, further, that any consent of the Borrower otherwise
required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant
to Section 10.7(d), from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to

                                       68

<PAGE>

the benefits of Section 2.14, Section 2.16, Section 2.18 and Section 10.4). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this
Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with this Section 10.7(b).

                  (c)      The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as
an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its offices in Dallas, Texas a copy
of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of,
and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof
as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice
to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower
and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.

                  (d)      Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and
Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a
Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fees referred to in Section
10.7(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 10.7(b),
the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record
the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be
effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this paragraph.

                  (e)      Any Lender may, without the consent of Parent, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks
or other entities (a "PARTICIPANT") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (1) such Lender's
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (3) Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.2(a) or Section
10.2(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to this Section 10.7(e), Parent
and the Borrower each agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 2.14, Section 2.16 and Section 2.18 to the same extent as if
it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section
10.7(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 10.5 as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender.

                  (f)      A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 2.14, Section 2.16 or Section 2.18 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled

                                       69

<PAGE>

to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's
prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 unless the Borrower
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.18(f) as
though it were a Lender.

                  (g)      Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 10.7 shall not apply to
any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of
its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto.

                  (h)      Parent and the Borrower each authorize each Lender to
disclose to any participant or assignee under Section 10.7(b) (each, a
"TRANSFEREE") and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such
Lender's possession concerning Parent, the Borrower and Parent's Subsidiaries
and Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of
Parent, the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement or
which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of Parent, the Borrower
or the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation
of Parent, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, and Parent's Subsidiaries
and Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, provided, that, each
such Transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of Section
10.12. No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any
Transferee shall be effective without the prior written consent of Parent and
the Borrower if it would require it to make any filing with any Governmental
Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and
Parent and the Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive such
information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any
Transferee to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or
whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with
applicable law.

         SECTION 10.8      GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; ETC.

                  (a)      GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND, TO THE
EXTENT CONTROLLING, LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

                  (b)      SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR
PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE OTHER FINANCING
DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS OR OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, AND, BY EXECUTION AND
DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, PARENT AND THE BORROWER EACH HEREBY ACCEPT FOR
ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE

EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS (1) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY

                  (d)      PROCESS AGENT. CT Corporation System, with an office
on the date hereof at 350 N. St. Paul, Suite 2900, Dallas, Texas 75201, is the
designee, appointee and process agent of Parent and the Borrower designated to
receive, for and on behalf of Parent and the Borrower, service of process in
such respective jurisdictions in any legal action or proceeding with respect to
this Agreement, the Notes, or the other Financing Documents. It is understood
that a copy of such process served on such agent will be promptly forwarded by
mail to Parent and the Borrower at its address set forth opposite its signature
below, but the failure of Parent or the Borrower to receive such copy shall not
affect in any way the service of such process. Parent and the Borrower each
further irrevocably consent to the service of process of any of the
aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies
thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Parent and the
Borrower at its said address, such service to become effective 30 days after
such mailing.

                  (e)      SERVICE OF PROCESS. Nothing herein shall affect the
right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of a Note to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or
otherwise proceed against Parent or the Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

         SECTION 10.9      INDEPENDENT NATURE OF LENDERS' RIGHTS. The amounts
payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent
debt, and, subject to the other terms and provisions hereof and of the Financing
Documents, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights
arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other
Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

         SECTION 10.10     INVALIDITY. In the event that any one or more of the
provisions contained in the Notes, this Agreement or in any other Financing
Document shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, (a) Parent and the Borrower each agree that such invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Notes, this
Agreement or any other Financing Document, and (b) Parent, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (acting on behalf and at the direction of the Lenders) will
negotiate in good faith to amend such provision so as to be legal, valid, and
enforceable.

         SECTION 10.11     RENEWAL, EXTENSION OR REARRANGEMENT. All provisions
of this Agreement and of any other Financing Documents relating to the Notes or
other Lender Indebtedness shall apply with equal force and effect to each and
all promissory notes hereafter executed which in whole or in part represent a
renewal, extension for any period, increase or rearrangement of any part of the
Lender Indebtedness originally represented by the Notes, or of any part of such
other Lender Indebtedness.

         SECTION 10.12     CONFIDENTIALITY; TAX SHELTER REGULATIONS.

                  (a)      Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below),
except that Information may be disclosed (1) to its and its Affiliates'
directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel
and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (2) to the extent requested
by any Governmental Authority, (3) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (4) to any other party
to this Agreement, (5) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder
or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement
of rights hereunder, (6) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12, to any assignee under
Section 10.7(b) of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee under Section
10.7(b) of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement, (7) with the consent of Parent or the Borrower or (8) to the extent
such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section 10.12 or (B) becomes available to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Parent
or the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 10.12, "INFORMATION" means all
information received from any Credit Party relating to any Credit Party or its
business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by any Credit Party; provided, that, in the case of information
received from any Credit Party after the date hereof, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required
to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.12
shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person
has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 10.12(a) above, Parent, the Borrower and the Financing Parties hereby
agree that Information shall not include, and each Financing Party (and each
employee, representative or other agent of any Financing Party) may disclose to
any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax structure and tax
treatment (as such terms are used in Internal Revenue Code Sections 6011, 6111
and 6112 and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Transactions and the
facilities established by this Agreement (the "FACILITIES"), and all materials
of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been
provided to Parent, the Borrower or any Financing Party related to such tax
structure and tax treatment; provided, that, with respect to any document or
similar item that in either case contains information concerning such tax
structure or tax treatment of the Facilities as well as other information, this
sentence shall only

                                       72

<PAGE>

apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to such tax
structure or tax treatment.

         SECTION 10.13     INTEREST. It is the intention of the parties hereto
to conform strictly to usury laws applicable to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders (collectively, the "FINANCING PARTIES") and the Transactions.
Accordingly, if the Transactions would be usurious as to any Financing Party
under laws applicable to it, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the Notes, this Agreement or in any other Financing Document or agreement
entered into in connection with the Transactions or as security for the Notes,
it is agreed as follows: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which
constitutes interest under law applicable to any Financing Party that is
contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Financing Party
under the Notes, this Agreement or under any of such other Financing Documents
or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Transactions shall under no
circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, (b) in
the event that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated for any reason, or in
the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that
constitutes interest under law applicable to any Financing Party may never
include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and (c)
excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise in
connection with the Transactions shall be canceled automatically by such
Financing Party and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Financing
Party on the principal amount of the Lender Indebtedness to such Financing Party
(or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Lender Indebtedness to such
Financing Party shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by
such Financing Party to the Borrower). The right to accelerate the maturity of
the Notes does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not
otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and the Financing Parties do
not intend to collect any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Financing Parties for the use, forbearance
or detention of sums included in the Lender Indebtedness shall, to the extent
permitted by law applicable to such Financing Party, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Notes until payment in full
so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Lender Indebtedness
does not exceed the applicable usury ceiling, if any. As used in this Section
10.13, the terms "APPLICABLE LAW" or "LAWS APPLICABLE TO ANY FINANCING PARTY"
shall mean the law of any jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable
notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement, or law of the United States
of America applicable to any Financing Party and the Transactions which would
permit such Financing Party to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a
greater amount of interest than under such jurisdiction's law. To the extent
that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended, substituted for or
restated is relevant to any Financing Party for the purpose of determining the
Highest Lawful Rate, such Financing Party hereby elects to determine the
applicable rate ceiling under such Chapter 303 by the interest (weekly) rate
ceiling from time to time in effect, subject to such Financing Party's right
subsequently to change such method in accordance with applicable law.

         SECTION 10.14     ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THE NOTES, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING AMONG
THE CREDIT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS AND THE OTHER
RESPECTIVE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND SUPERSEDE ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND
UNDERSTANDINGS AMONG SUCH PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND
THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS

                                       73

to be satisfactory to any party, the determination of such satisfaction shall be
made by such party in its sole and exclusive judgment exercised reasonably and

THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS IN
FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING
THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN SOME ASPECTS OF THE TRANSACTIONS AND RELIEVING THE
OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES
AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY
EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS ON THE
BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE
PROVISION IS NOT "CONSPICUOUS."

Owned Restricted Subsidiary, the determination of the percentage of the

interest in such Restricted Subsidiary throughout the applicable Reference

calculating Operating Cash Flow and Consolidated Indebtedness:

                  (A)      the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate
the Operating Cash Flow Ratio will be assumed to have occurred (on a pro forma

not a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary shall be determined in accordance with
the actual percentage of the Person's common equity interest in such Restricted
Subsidiary on the date of determination of the Operating Cash Flow Ratio (thus,
for example, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary in which such Person owns a
51% common equity interest, 51% of such Subsidiary's Indebtedness would be
included in the calculation of such Person's aggregate Indebtedness).

purchaser in whose hands such Securities are valid obligations of the Company;

provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned
by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the
Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected
in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent or waiver, only Securities which the Trustee knows to be so owned shall
be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may
be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Securities and that
the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any
Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

                           (2)      is not party to any agreement, contract,
arrangement or understanding with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of

to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of the Board
Resolution giving effect to that designation and an Officers' Certificate
certifying that that designation complied with the preceding conditions and was
permitted by Section 10.10. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would
fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall,
after that time, cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this
Indenture, and any Indebtedness of that Subsidiary shall be deemed to be
incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of that date (and, if that
Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of that date under Section
10.08, the Company shall be in default of that covenant). The Board of Directors
of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a
Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the designation shall be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted

                                       28

10.08 of this Indenture, calculated on a pro forma basis as if that designation
had occurred at the beginning of the Reference Period, and

                           (B)      no Default or Event of Default would occur
or be in existence following that designation.

Wireless Alliance shall be deemed an Unrestricted Subsidiary as of the Issue
Date and shall thereafter remain an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless and until

to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee such certificates and opinions as may be required under
the Trust Indenture Act. Each such certificate or opinion shall be given in the
form of an Officers' Certificate, if to be given by an officer of the Company,
or an Opinion of Counsel, if to be given by counsel, and shall comply with the
requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and any other requirement set forth in
this Indenture.

                  Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

                  (1)      a statement that each individual signing such
certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions
herein relating thereto;

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

                  (3)      a statement that, in the opinion of each such
individual, he or she has made such examination or investigation as in his or
her reasonable judgment is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed
opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with;
and

                  (4)      a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of
each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

                  Section 1.03 Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

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

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

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

                  Section 1.04 Acts of Holders; Record Date.

                           (a)      Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to
be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar

                                       30
<PAGE>

tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing;
and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are received by the Trustee and,
where it is hereby expressly required, by the Company. Such instrument or
instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture
and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04.

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

                           (c)      The Company may, in the circumstances
permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, fix any day as the record date for the
purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on
any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders. If not set
by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in
respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such
vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if
later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided
pursuant to Section 7.01) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case
may be. With regard to any record date, only the Holders on such date (or their
duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to give or take, or vote on, the
relevant action.

                           (d)      The ownership of Securities shall be proved
by the Security Register.

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

                  Section 1.05 Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

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

                                       31
<PAGE>

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

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

                  Section 1.06 Notice to Holders; Waiver.

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

                  In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or
by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by
mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee
shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

                  Section 1.07 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

                  If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a
provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such act to be part
of and govern this Indenture, the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act shall
control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision
of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the provision of
this Indenture shall be deemed to apply.

                  Section 1.08 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

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

                  Section 1.09 Successors and Assigns.

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

                  Section 1.10 Separability Clause.

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

                  Section 1.11 Benefits of Indenture.

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

                  Section 1.12 Governing Law.

                  THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THEREUNDER THAT WOULD INDICATE THE APPLICABILITY
OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

                  Section 1.13 Legal Holidays.

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

                  Section 1.14 No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers,
Employees, and Shareholders

                  No director, officer, employee, incorporator, or shareholder
of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as such, shall have any liability for any
obligations of the Company under the Securities or this Indenture or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, those obligations or their
creation. Each Holder of Securities, by accepting a Security, waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the Securities.

2003 (herein called the "Indenture"), between the Company and U.S. Bank National

supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

any time at the option of the Company, in whole or from time to time in part, at
the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal

together in the case of any such redemption with accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date, but any
interest installment whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption
Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant
Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to August 1,
2006, the Company may, in one or more transactions, redeem up to a total of 35%
of the aggregate principal amount of Securities actually issued under the
Indenture (including Additional Securities, if any) from the net cash proceeds

                  Notice of any optional redemption of the Securities (or
portion thereof) will be given by first-class mail to the Holders at their
addresses appearing in the Security Register not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date. The notice of redemption shall state the
Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, if less than all the Outstanding
Securities are to be redeemed, principal amounts of the particular Securities to
be redeemed, that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due
and payable upon each Security to be redeemed and the place or places where such
Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price.

                  If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed at any
time, the Trustee will select Securities for redemption as follows:

                  (1)      if the Securities are listed on any securities
exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities
exchange on which the Securities are listed; or

                  (2)      if the Securities are not listed on any securities
exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems
fair and appropriate.

                  The Securities do not have the benefit of any sinking fund
obligations.

                  In the event of redemption or purchase pursuant to an Offer to
Purchase of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the
unredeemed or unpurchased portion hereof will be issued in the name of the
Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

                  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of all the Securities may be declared, or may automatically become,
due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

                  The Indenture provides that, subject to certain conditions, if
(i) certain Net Cash Proceeds are available to the Company as a result of Asset
Sales or (ii) a Change of Control occurs, the Company shall be required to make
an Offer to Purchase for the Securities.

                  The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time
of (i) the entire indebtedness of this Security or (ii) certain restrictive
covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon
compliance with certain conditions set forth therein.

                  The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under
the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders
of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Security.

                  No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and

                                       39

unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any), interest (and
Liquidated Damages, if any), on this Security at the time, place and rate, and
in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

                  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in
the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or at the office or agency of the Company
in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

                  The Securities are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of
Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.

                  No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charges or fees required by law payable in
connection therewith.

                  Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

                  Interest on this Security shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months [IF THE SECURITY IS AN ORIGINAL SECURITY,
THEN INSERT-- ; provided, however, that any Liquidated Damages shall be computed
on the basis of a 7-day week, and the number of days actually elapsed].

                  All terms used in this Security which are not defined herein
but which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them
in the Indenture. In the event that any provision in this Security conflicts
with any provision in the Indenture, the provision contained in the Indenture
shall control.

                  The Indenture and this Security shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard
to principles of conflicts of laws thereunder that would indicate the
applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Original Securities for original issue on the date of this Indenture in the
aggregate principal amount of $325,000,000. With respect to any securities
issued after the date of this Indenture (except for Securities authenticated and
delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of,
Original Securities pursuant to this Indenture), there shall be established in
or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, and
subject to Section 3.03, set forth, or determined in the manner provided in an

Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior
to the issuance of such Securities ("Additional Securities"):

                  (1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional
Securities that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture;

                  (2) the issue price and issuance date of such Additional
Securities that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture; and

                  (3) that such Additional Securities shall be issuable in the
same form as the then Outstanding Securities and having the same terms (other
than with respect to transfer restrictions and registration rights) as the then
Outstanding Securities and the same depositaries.

                  The Original Securities shall be known and designated as the
"9 7/8% Senior Notes due 2010" and the Exchange Securities shall be known and
designated as the "9 7/8% Series B Senior Notes due 2010," in each case, of the
Company. Their Stated Maturity shall be February 1, 2010 and they shall bear
interest at the rate of 9 7/8% per annum, from August 1, 2003 or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid in cash or duly
provided for, as the case may be, payable semi-annually on February 1, and
August 1 commencing on February 1, 2004, to the Holders of record on the
immediately preceding January 15 and July 15, until the principal thereof is
paid or made available for payment; provided, however, that the Original
Securities shall be subject to the payment of Liquidated Damages, if any, as set
forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Liquidated Damages, if any, so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for in respect of any Security, on
any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in this Indenture and the
Registration Rights Agreement, be paid to the Person in whose name such Security
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business

Liquidated Damages, if any), on the Securities shall be payable at the Corporate
Trust Office or at the office or agency of the Company in the City and State of
New York maintained for such purpose; provided, however, that at the option of
the Company payment of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, may be made by

appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has
given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company shall pay all
principal, interest, premium, if any, and Liquidated Damages, if any, on that
Holder's Securities in accordance with those instructions.

                  The Securities shall be subject to repurchase by the Company
pursuant to an offer to purchase the securities as provided in Sections 10.14
and 10.16.

treated as a single class for all purposes of the Indenture. The Securities
shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples thereof.

                  Section 3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

                  The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
its Chief Executive Officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents. The
signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

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

                  At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities; and the Trustee in accordance
with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as
provided in this Indenture and not otherwise.

                  At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture and after the effectiveness of a registration
statement under the Securities Act with respect thereto, the Company may deliver
Exchange Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication,
together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Exchange Securities and a like principal amount of Original Securities for
cancellation in accordance with Section 3.10 of this Indenture, and the Trustee
in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities. Prior to authenticating such Exchange Securities, and accepting any
additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities,
the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested, and (subject to Section
6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating in
substance:

                           (a)      that all conditions hereunder precedent to
the authentication and delivery of such Exchange Securities have been complied
with and that such Exchange Securities, when such Securities have been duly
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee (and subject to any other conditions
specified in such Opinion of Counsel), have been duly issued and delivered and
will constitute valid and legally binding

                                       43
<PAGE>

obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject
to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
and to general equity principles; and

                           (b)      that the issuance of the Exchange Securities
in exchange for Original Securities has been effected in compliance with the
Securities Act.

                  Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

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

                  Section 3.04 Temporary Securities.

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

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

                  Section 3.05 Global Securities.

                           (a)      Each Global Security authenticated under
this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated by
the Company for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such
Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global
Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

                           (b)      Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for
Securities registered, and no

                                       44
<PAGE>

transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name
of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee
thereof unless (i) such Depositary (A) has notified the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B)
has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act
and, in either case, a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days, (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or
Event of Default with respect to such Global Security or (iii) the Company
executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that it elects to
cause the issuance of the Securities in certificated form and that all Global
Securities shall be exchanged in whole for Securities that are not Global
Securities (in which case such exchange shall be effected by the Trustee).

                           (c)      If any Global Security is to be exchanged
for other Securities or canceled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on
behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the Trustee, as Security Registrar,
for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article III. If any Global
Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in part, or if
another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial
interest in any Global Security, then either (i) such Global Security shall be
so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article III or
(ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount
equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the
principal amount of such other Security to be exchanged for a beneficial
interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made
on the records of the Trustee, as Security Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its
authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records.
Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security, the Trustee shall,
subject to Section 3.05(b) and as otherwise provided in this Article III,
authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global
Security (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in
such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its authorized
representative. Upon the request of the Trustee in connection with the
occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding paragraph, the
Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of
Securities that are not in the form of Global Securities. The Trustee shall be
entitled to rely upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary or its
authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article III if
such order, direction or request is given or made in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures.

                           (d)      Every Security authenticated and delivered
upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global
Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article III, Section
9.06, 10.14, 10.16 or 11.08 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered
in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is
registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global
Security or a nominee thereof.

                           (e)      The Depositary or its nominee, as registered
owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all
purposes under this Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial
interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the
Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such

                                       45
<PAGE>

owner's beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be shown only on, and the
transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by
the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members.

                  Section 3.06 Registration; Registration of Transfer and
                               Exchange Generally; Certain Transfers and
                               Exchanges; Securities Act Legends.

                           (a)      Registration; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange Generally. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust
Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other
office or agency designated pursuant to Section 10.02 being herein sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The
Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering
Securities and transfers and exchanges of Securities as herein provided. Such
Security Register shall distinguish between Original Securities and Exchange
Securities.

                  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at
an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.02 for such
purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Securities of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal
amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this
Indenture.

                  At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for
new Securities of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal
amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this
Indenture, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or
agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities
that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

                  All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities shall be the valid Obligations of the Company, evidencing
the same debt, and (except for the differences between Original Securities and
Exchange Securities provided for herein) entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange.

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

                  No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charges or fees required by
law that may be imposed

                                       46
<PAGE>

in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other
than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 9.06, 10.14, 10.16 or 11.08
not involving any transfer.

                  The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange (x) any Security during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of
redemption of Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.04 and ending
at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (y) any Security tendered
by the Holder thereof (and not withdrawn) in connection with any Offer to
Purchase as provided in Sections 10.14 and 10.16, or (ii) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

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

                           (b)      Certain Transfers and Exchanges.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities,
transfers and exchanges of Securities and beneficial interests in a Global
Security of the kinds specified in this Section 3.06(b) shall be made only in
accordance with this Section 3.06(b).

                                    (i)      Exchanges Between the Restricted
Global Security and the Regulation S Global Security.

                                             (A)      Beneficial interests in
         the Restricted Global Security may be exchanged for beneficial
         interests in the Regulation S Global Security and vice versa only in
         connection with a transfer of such interest. Such transfers are subject
         to compliance with the certification requirements described below.

                                             (B)      A beneficial interest in
         the Restricted Global Security may be transferred to a Person who takes
         delivery in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global
         Security, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution
         Compliance Period, only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written
         certification on behalf of the transferor to the effect that such
         transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S or
         (if available) Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

                                             (C)      Prior to the expiration of
         the Distribution Compliance Period, a beneficial interest in the
         Regulation S Global Security may be transferred to a person who takes
         delivery in the form of an interest in the Restricted Global Security
         only if such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144A and the transferor
         first delivers to the Trustee a written certification on behalf of the
         transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made to a person
         who the transferor reasonably believes is a qualified institutional
         buyer acquiring for its

                                       47
<PAGE>

         own account or the account of a qualified institutional buyer in a
         transaction complying with Rule 144A and any applicable securities laws
         of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions. After the
         expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, this certification
         requirement shall no longer apply to such transfers.

                                             (D)      Any beneficial interest in
         one of the Global Securities that is exchanged for an interest in the
         other Global Security shall cease to be an interest in such Global
         Security and shall become an interest in the other Global Security.
         Accordingly, such interest shall thereafter be subject to all transfer
         restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in
         such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest.

                                             (E)      Any exchange of a
         beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security for a
         beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security or vice versa
         will be effected in DTC by means of an instruction originated by the
         Trustee through the DTC Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian ("DWAC")
         system.

                                    (ii)     Exchanges of Global Securities for
Certificated Securities. A beneficial interest in a Global Security may not be
exchanged for a Security in certificated form except as provided in Section
3.05(b). Any certificated Security issued in exchange for an interest in a
Global Security shall bear the legend restricting transfers that is borne by
such Global Security. Any such exchange shall be effected only through the DWAC
System, and an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the records of the
Security Register to reflect a decrease in the principal amount of the relevant
Global Security.

                           (c)      Securities Act Legends. Rule 144A Securities
and their respective Successor Securities shall bear a Securities Act Legend,
and Regulation S Securities and their Successor Securities shall bear a
Securities Act Legend, subject to the following:

                                    (i)      subject to the following clauses of
this Section 3.06(c), a Security or any portion thereof which is exchanged, upon
transfer or otherwise, for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall bear
the Securities Act Legend borne by such Global Security while represented
thereby;

                                    (ii)     subject to the following clauses of
this Section 3.06(c), a new Security which is not a Global Security and is
issued in exchange for another Security (including a Global Security) or any
portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear the Securities Act
Legend borne by such other Security;

                                    (iii)    Registered Securities shall not
bear a Securities Act Legend;

                                    (iv)     in connection with a transfer or
exchange of Securities or beneficial interests therein, (1) a new Security not
bearing a Securities Act Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a
Security (other than a Global

                                       48
<PAGE>

Security) or any portion thereof bearing such a legend and (2) beneficial
interests in a Security bearing a Securities Act Legend may be exchanged for
beneficial interests in a Security not bearing such a legend, in each case, only
if:

                                             (A)      such transfer or exchange
         is effected pursuant to an Exchange Offer in accordance with a
         Registration Rights Agreement, and the recipient of such Securities or
         beneficial interests certifies that it is not (1) a broker-dealer, (2)
         a Person participating in a distribution of the Exchange Securities or
         (3) a Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the
         Company;

                                             (B)      such transfer or exchange
         is effected pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement in accordance
         with a Registration Rights Agreement;

                                             (C)      such transfer or exchange
         is effected by a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act
         pursuant to an Exchange Registration Statement;

                                             (D)      in the case of a transfer
         of a Security or beneficial interest therein, (1) the transferor
         certifies in writing to the Security Registrar that (I) the
         restrictions on transfer contained in the Securities Act Legend are not
         required to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, (II) such
         transfer is being effected pursuant to (x) Rule 144, (y) Rule 903 or
         904 of Regulation S or (z) another exemption from registration under
         the Securities Act and (III) such transfer is in compliance with all
         applicable state securities laws, and (2) if the Security Registrar so
         requests (or if required by any Applicable Procedures), the Security
         Registrar has received an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably
         acceptable to the Security Registrar that such transfer is in
         compliance with the Securities Act, and the restrictions on transfer
         contained in the Securities Act Legend are not required to maintain
         compliance with the Securities Act; or

                                             (E)      in the case of an exchange
         by an owner of a Security with a Securities Act Legend (or beneficial
         interest therein) for a Security without a Securities Act Legend (or
         beneficial interest therein), (1) such owner certifies in writing to
         the Security Registrar that (I) the restrictions on transfer contained
         in the Securities Act Legend are not required to maintain compliance
         with the Securities Act, (II) the Security (or beneficial interest
         therein) being received in the exchange by such owner is being acquired
         for such owner's own account without transfer, (III) such exchange is
         being effected in compliance with the Securities Act and with all
         transfer restrictions applicable to the Security (or beneficial
         interest therein) contained in this Indenture, and (IV) such transfer
         is in compliance with all applicable state securities laws, and (2) if
         the Security Registrar so requests (or if required by any Applicable
         Procedures), the Security Registrar has received an Opinion of Counsel
         in form reasonably acceptable to the Security Registrar that such
         transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, and the restrictions
         on transfer contained in the Securities Act Legend are not required to
         maintain compliance with the Securities Act; and

                                       49
<PAGE>

                                    (v)      notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.06(c), a Successor Security of a Security that does
not bear a particular form of Securities Act Legend shall bear a Securities Act
Legend if the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor
Security is a "restricted security" within the meaning of Rule 144, in which
case the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and
deliver a new Security bearing a Securities Act Legend in exchange for such
Successor Security as provided in this Article III.

                  Section 3.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

                  If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

                  Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.07,
the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charges or fees required by law that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee) connected therewith.

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

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

                  Section 3.08 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

                  Interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on any Security that
are payable, and are punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date shall be paid

                                       50
<PAGE>

to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest or Liquidated Damages, if any.

                  Any interest or Liquidated Damages on any Security that are
payable, but are not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having
been held by such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the
Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

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

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

                  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest
or Liquidated Damages, if any, accrued and unpaid, and to accrue interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, which were carried by such other Security.

                  Section 3.09 Persons Deemed Owners.

                  Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of
such security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium,
if any) and (subject to Section 3.08) interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any),
on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the
Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for (i) any aspect
of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of a Global Security, (ii) for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or (iii) for any
other matters relating to the actions or practices of the Depository.

                  Section 3.10 Cancellation.

                  All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any Offer to
Purchase, pursuant to Section 10.14 or 10.16, shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly
canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities
so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided
in this Section 3.10, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All
canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall (subject to the record-retention
requirements of the Exchange Act) be disposed of as directed by a Company Order.

                  Section 3.11 Computation of Interest.

                  Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months; provided, however, that any Liquidated
Damages on Original Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 7-day week,
and the number of days actually elapsed.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

                  Section 4.01 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

                  This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as
to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities
herein expressly

                                       52

provided for), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture, when

                           (a)      either

                                    (i)      all Securities theretofore
authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Securities which have been
destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in
Section 3.07 and (B) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been
deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter
repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section
10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

                                    (ii)     all such Securities not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable,

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

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

                           (c)      the Company has delivered to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent herein provided that relate to the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied.

                  Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture pursuant to this Article IV, the obligations of the Company to the
Trustee under Section 6.07, the Obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating
Agent under Section 6.14 and, if money has been deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (a) of this Section, the obligations of the
Trustee under Section 4.02 and the last paragraph of Section 10.03 shall
survive.

                  Section 4.02 Application of Trust Money.

                  Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section
10.03, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be
held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the
Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and
premium, if any) and interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any), for whose
payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

for a period of 30 days after there has been given, by registered or certified
mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities a written notice specifying such failure or breach and requiring it
to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder;

                           (f)      a 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 Issue Date, if that default: (A) is caused by a
failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such
Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such
Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default"); or (B) results
in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in
each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the
principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a
Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates

                           (g)      a final judgment or final judgments for the
payment of money are entered against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company in an aggregate amount in excess of $20.0 million, excluding amounts

Significant Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable
Bankruptcy Law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated bankrupt or
insolvent, or the consent by the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary to

they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company or any such
Significant Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action.

                  Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and
Annulment.

                  If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in Section 5.01(h) or (i)) occurs and is continuing, then and in every
such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the principal of all the
Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration
such principal (and premium, if any), any

                                       55
<PAGE>

accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, shall become immediately due
and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(h) or (i) occurs,
the principal of (and premium, if any), any accrued interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, on the Securities then Outstanding shall ipso facto become
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other Act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder.

                  At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been
made and before a judgment or decree based on acceleration for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this
Article V, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

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

                                    (i)      all Defaulted Interest on all
Securities;

                                    (ii)     the principal of (and premium, if
any, on) any Securities which have become due otherwise than by such declaration
of acceleration (including any Securities required to have been purchased on the
Purchase Date pursuant to an Offer to Purchase made by the Company) and, to the
extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest thereon at the rate
provided by the Securities;

                                    (iii)    to the extent that payment of such
interest is lawful, interest upon Defaulted Interest, at the rate provided by
the Securities; and

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

                  and

                           (b)      all Defaults and Events of Default, other
than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which have become due solely
by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
Section 5.13.

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

                  In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any
willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of the Company
with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would
have had to pay if it then had elected to redeem the Securities pursuant to the
optional redemption provisions of this Indenture, an equivalent premium will
also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law
upon the acceleration of the Securities. If an Event of Default occurs prior to
August 1, 2007 by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by
or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition

                                       56
<PAGE>

on redemption of the Securities prior to August 1, 2007, then, upon acceleration
of the Securities, an additional premium shall also become and be immediately
due and payable at an amount, for each of the years beginning August 1 of each
of the years set forth below, as set forth below (expressed as a percentage of
the principal amount of each Security):

                               Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

                  If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a), (b) or
(c) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in
its own name and as Trustee of an express trust against the Company for the
whole amount of principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and
interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to
the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel.

                  Section 5.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

                  In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or
any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the
Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act
in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such
proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and
receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims
and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 6.07.

                  No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize
the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement adjustment or composition
affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding;
provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of

                                       57
<PAGE>

the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar
official and may be a member of the creditors committee.

                  Section 5.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims
                               Without Possession of Securities.

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

                  Section 5.06 Application of Money Collected.

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

                  FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under
Section 6.07;

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

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

                  Section 5.07 Limitation on Suits.

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

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

                           (b)      the Holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written
request to the Trustee to

                                       58
<PAGE>

institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as
Trustee hereunder;

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

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

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

                  Section 5.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive
                               Principal, Premium, Interest and Liquidated
                               Damages.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the
Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any),
(subject to Section 3.08) interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such
Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in
the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or, in the case of an Offer to
Purchase made by the Company and required to be accepted as to such Security, on
the Purchase Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, on or after such respective dates and such rights shall not be impaired
without the consent of such Holder.

                  Section 5.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

                  Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

                  Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last
paragraph of Section 3.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right
or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and

                                       59
<PAGE>

remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder,
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

                  Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

                  Section 5.12 Control by Holders.

                  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that:

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

                           (b)      the Trustee may take any other action deemed
proper by the Trustee in furtherance of or consistent with, such direction; and

                           (c)      subject to the provisions of Section 6.01,
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the
Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so
directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines
that the action or proceedings so directed might involve the Trustee in personal
liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or
forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction shall be unduly
prejudicial to the interest of Holders of the Securities not joining in the
giving of said direction, it being understood that the Trustee shall have no
duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly
prejudicial to such Holders.

                  Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults.

                  The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a
default:

                           (a)      in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest (or Liquidated Damages, if any), on any Security
(including any Security which is required to have been purchased pursuant to an
Offer to Purchase which has been made by the Company); or

                                       60
<PAGE>

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

                  Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and
any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

                  Section 5.14 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,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in
such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess
costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided
in the Trust Indenture Act. This Section 5.14 does not apply to a suit by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.08 or a suit by the Holders of
more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities.

                  Section 5.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                   THE TRUSTEE

                  Section 6.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

                           (a)      The duties and responsibilities of the
Trustee shall be as provided in this Indenture and by the Trust Indenture Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it. If a Default or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights
and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. Whether or not
therein expressly so provided, every provision of this

                                       61
<PAGE>

Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section

                  The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except
the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements

The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use
or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

                  Section 6.05 May Hold Securities.

                  The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any
Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any

Sections 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other agent.

the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services

provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust);

                           (b)      except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with

                           (c)      to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or

defending itself against or investigating any

                                       64
<PAGE>

powers or duties hereunder.

                  The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.07 shall

reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the
services in connection therewith are intended to constitute expense of
administration under any applicable bankruptcy law.

                  If the Trustee has or acquires a "conflicting interest" within
the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
conflicting interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and
subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.
Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall serve as the Trustee.
The Trustee is subject to Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

                  Section 6.09 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

                  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be
a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act (including,
without limitation, Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) thereof) to act as such and
has (or in the case of a Person included in a bank holding company system, the
related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at
least $100.0 million and its Corporate Trust Office in New York City or
Minneapolis. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.09, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
the Trustee ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article VI.

                  Section 6.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of
Successor.

                           (a)      No resignation or removal of the Trustee and
no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under
Section 6.11.

                           (b)      The Trustee may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a
successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days
after the giving of such notice of

                                       65
<PAGE>

resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

                           (d)      If at any time:

                                    (i)      the Trustee fails to comply with
Section 6.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six (6) months, or

                                    (ii)     the Trustee ceases to be eligible
under Section 6.09 and fails to resign after written request therefor by the
Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at
least six (6) months, or

                                    (iii)    the Trustee becomes incapable of
acting or is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of
its property is appointed or any public officer takes charge or control of the
Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

                           (e)      If the Trustee resigns, is removed or
becomes incapable of acting, or if a vacancy occurs in the office of Trustee for
any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or
incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee is
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the
successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee has been so appointed by the
Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter
provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least
six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

                           (f)      The Company shall give notice of each
resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor
Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall
include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office.

                  Section 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

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

                  Section 6.12 Merger, Conversion,
                               Consolidation or Succession to Business.

                  Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate
trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder;
provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this
Article VI, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor
by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt
such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same
effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

                  Section 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Company.

                  If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor,
directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company
(or any such other obligor). The Trustee is subject to Section 311(a) of the
Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section
311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been replaced
shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent
indicated therein.

                  Section 6.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

                  The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Securities issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of
transfer or partial redemption or pursuant to Section 3.07, and Securities so
authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be
valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee
hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication
and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and
delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate
of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.
Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all
times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized
under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having (or in the case of a
corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding
company having) a combined capital and surplus of not less than $100.0 million
and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 6.14, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in this Section 6.14.

                  Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
Authenticating Agent is a party, or any corporation succeeding to the Corporate
agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to
be an Authenticating Agent; provided such corporation shall be otherwise
eligible under this Section 6.14, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

                  An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any
time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice
thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 6.14, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent
which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such
appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders as their names
and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating
Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all
the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as
if originally

                                       68
<PAGE>

named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless it is eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.14.

                  The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from
time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 6.14,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to
the provisions of Section 6.07.

                  If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section 6.14, the
Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate
of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following
form:

                  This is one of the Securities described in the
within-mentioned Indenture.

provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the

                  Section 9.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

                  In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by,
any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications

to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental
indenture is authorized pursuant to, is permitted by, and that all conditions
precedent have been met under, this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be

Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

                  Section 9.04 Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

                  Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this
Article IX, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes and
every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered
hereunder shall be bound thereby.

                  Section 9.05 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

                  Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article
IX shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

                  Section 9.06 Reference in Securities to Supplemental
Indentures.

                  Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may bear a notation in

indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities so modified as to
conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental
indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities.

                  Section 9.07 Notice of Supplemental Indenture.

                  Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of

indenture.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                    COVENANTS

                  Section 10.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

                  The Company shall duly and punctually pay the principal of
(and premium, if any), and interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any) on the
Securities in

                                       75
<PAGE>

accordance with the terms of the Securities, this Indenture and the Registration
Rights Agreement.

                  The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the
rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Securities, to the extent
lawful. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on Defaulted Interest (without regard to
any applicable grace period) at the same rate, to the extent lawful.

                  Section 10.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

                  The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, New
York City, an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered
for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities and this Indenture may be served. The 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 fails to maintain any such
required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or
served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby
appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands.

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

                  Section 10.03 Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.

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

                  Whenever the Company has one or more Paying Agents, other than
the Company, it shall, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium,
if any), or interest (and Liquidated Damages, if any) on any Securities, deposit
to such Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amounts so becoming due, such
sum to be held in trust for

                                       76
<PAGE>

the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium, interest or
Liquidated Damages, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company
shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

                  The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the
Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying
Agent agrees with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.03,
that such Paying Agent shall:

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

                           (b)      give the Trustee prompt written notice of
any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the
making of any payment of principal, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or
interest; and

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

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

                  Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or
then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any), Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on any Security and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any),
Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid
to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as
an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and
all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to
be publicly disseminated, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,
after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the
date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
shall be repaid to the Company.

                  Section 10.04 Existence.

                  The Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary
to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and
statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to preserve any such right or franchise if the preservation thereof is
no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and the loss thereof is not
materially adverse to the Holders of the Securities; provided further, that this
Section 10.04 does not prohibit any transaction permitted by Section 10.14 or
Article VIII.

                  Section 10.05 Maintenance of Properties.

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

                  Section 10.06 Payment of Taxes.

                  The Company shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (l) all material taxes,
assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries or upon the income, profits or property of the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and (2) all lawful claims for
labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon
the property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to
be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount,
applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings.

                  Section 10.07 Maintenance of Insurance.

                  The Company shall, and shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, keep at all times all of their properties which are of an insurable nature
insured against loss or damage with insurers believed by the Company to be
responsible to the extent that property of similar character is usually so
insured by corporations similarly situated and owning like properties in
accordance with good business practice.

                  Section 10.08 Limitation on Consolidated Indebtedness.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness,
including Acquired Indebtedness, except that the Company may Incur Indebtedness,
if the Company's Operating Cash Flow Ratio would have been less than 7.0 to 1.0,
and if such Indebtedness proposed to be Incurred is Senior Indebtedness, then
the Company's Senior Operating Cash Flow Ratio would also have been less than
4.75 to 1.0.

                  Notwithstanding the above, the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may Incur the following Indebtedness without regard to the above
limitations:

                           (a)      Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities on
the Issue Date and a like principal amount of Exchange Securities to be issued
pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement;

                           (b)      Indebtedness, letters of credit and bankers'
acceptances Incurred by the Company under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $600,724,446 at any time outstanding, reduced by
the amount of repayments and permanent reductions of Indebtedness Incurred under
this clause (b) due to the application of Net Cash Proceeds after the Issue Date
pursuant to Section 10.14;

                           (c)      Indebtedness of the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries owing to the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries ("Intercompany Indebtedness"); provided that (A) in the case of any
such Indebtedness of the Company, such obligations will be unsecured and
subordinated by their terms in all respects to the Holders' rights pursuant to
the Securities, and (B) if any event occurs that causes a Person that is a
Restricted Subsidiary to no longer be a Restricted Subsidiary, then this clause
(c) will no longer be applicable to such Indebtedness of that Person;

of additional Indebtedness with the same terms and payments of dividends on
Redeemable Stock or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of the same
class of Redeemable Stock or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an
Incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Redeemable Stock or Preferred Stock
for the purposes of this Section 10.08.

                  Section 10.09 Limitation on Preferred Stock of Restricted
Subsidiaries.

                  The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the

Stock being refinanced.

                  The payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of
additional shares of the same class of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be
a creation or issuance of Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 10.09.

                  Section 10.10 Limitation on Restricted Payments.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted

Unrestricted Subsidiary since January 16, 2002, and (4) to the extent that any
Investment, other than a Permitted Investment, that was made after the Issue
Date is sold or otherwise liquidated or repaid, or the Person in whom such

liquidation or repayment of such Investment, less the cost of disposition, if
any, or the cash plus the Fair Market Value of any assets other than cash held
by such Person on the date it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as
applicable, and (y) the initial amount of such Investment.

declaration thereof if at the declaration date such payment would have complied
with the preceding provision;

                  (2)      any refinancing of any Indebtedness otherwise

Investment, payment, redemption, defeasance, repurchase or other acquisition,
retirement or dividend will be excluded from clause (c)(2) of this Section
10.10;

                  (6)      the repurchase, redemption, acquisition or other

constitute Restricted Payments for the calculation under the first paragraph of
this Section 10.10.

                  In determining whether any Restricted Payment is permitted by
this Section 10.10, the Company may allocate all or any portion of such
Restricted Payment among the categories described in clauses (1) through (10) of
the immediately preceding paragraph or among such categories and the types of
Restricted Payments described in the first paragraph of this Section 10.10;
provided, that at the time of such allocation, all such Restricted Payments, or

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

                           (a)      such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that
are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than
those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

                           (b)      the Company delivers to the Trustee:

                           (1)      with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $7.5 million, a determination by the Board of Directors of the Company
set forth in a Board Resolution and an Officers' Certificate certifying that
each such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a) above and that each
such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested
members of the Board of Directors of the Company; and

                           (2)      with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
excess of $15.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company of the
financial terms of such Affiliate Transaction or series or related Affiliate
Transactions from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal
or investment banking firm of national standing.

                  This Section 10.13 shall not limit, or be applicable to any
agreement in effect on the Issue Date, and any amendments, extensions or
renewals of any such agreement, so long as any such amendment, extension or
renewal is not materially more disadvantageous, taken as a whole, to the Company
or to any Restricted Subsidiary as the original agreement in effect on the Issue
Date. In addition, the following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate
Transactions:

                  (1)      any employment, service or termination agreement
entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the
ordinary course of business;

                  (2)      transactions between or among the Company and/or its

                  (3)      transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of
the Company solely because the Company owns Capital Stock in, or controls, such
Person;

                  (4)      reasonable and customary fees and compensation paid
to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors and employees of

<PAGE>

any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company;

                  (5)      sales or issuances of Qualified Capital Stock to
Affiliates or employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries at Fair Market
Value; and

                  (6)      Restricted Payments that are not prohibited by
Section 10.10 and Permitted Investments.

                  Section 10.14 Limitation on Asset Sales and Sales of
Subsidiary Stock.

                  Following the Issue Date, the Company shall not, and shall not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to engage in an Asset Sale
unless (a) such Asset Sale is for Fair Market Value, (b) at least 75% of the
value of the consideration for such Asset Sale consists of (1) cash or Cash
Equivalents, (2) the assumption by the transferee (and release of the Company or
the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) of Senior Indebtedness
of the Company or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, or (3) notes,
obligations or other marketable securities (collectively "Marketable
Securities") that are converted within 30 days after the consummation of such
Asset Sale into cash or Cash Equivalents and (c) the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom
are, at the Company's option and, to the extent it so elects, applied on or
prior to the date that is 365 days after the date of such Asset Sale: (1) to the
repayment of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (which payment permanently
reduces the commitment thereunder); (2) to the repurchase of the Securities or
other Senior Indebtedness of the Company or Indebtedness of any Restricted
Subsidiary containing similar provisions with respect to the repurchase of such
Indebtedness with the net proceeds of asset sales, pursuant to an offer to
purchase (an "Asset Sale Offer") described below; (3) to the making of capital
expenditures or other acquisitions of long-term assets (other than Capital
Stock) that are used or useful in a Wireless Communications Business that is
owned wholly by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (4) to the
acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of, or Capital Stock
representing a majority of the Voting Power of, an entity engaged primarily in a
Wireless Communications Business; or (5) any combination of the foregoing.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph:

                  (1)      the conveyance, sale, transfer or other disposition
of all or substantially all the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis
will be governed by the provisions of Section 10.16 and/or the provisions of
Article VIII and not by this Section 10.14;

                  (2)      any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may convey,
sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of its assets (upon
voluntary liquidation or otherwise) to the Company or any of its Wholly Owned
Restricted Subsidiaries;

                  (3)      the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may, in
the ordinary course of business, (A) convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign or
otherwise dispose of assets; provided that if such conveyance, sale, lease,
transfer, assignment or other disposition is

                                       90
<PAGE>

to a Person other than a Restricted Subsidiary, the consideration received
reflects the Fair Market Value of such assets and (B) exchange assets for either
assets or equity interests in Wireless Communications Businesses; provided that
(a) the assets or equity interests received have a Fair Market Value
substantially equal to the assets exchanged and (b) the assets received by the
Company are controlled by the Company with respect to voting rights and
day-to-day operations, or the equity interests received by the Company represent
a controlling interest in the total Voting Power and day-to-day operations of a
Person that is the issuer of such equity interests;

                  (4)      the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may make
an exchange of assets where the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries
receive consideration for such assets at least 75% of which consists of (a)
cash, (b) long-term assets (other than Capital Stock) at Fair Market Value that
are used or useful in a Wireless Communications Business or (c) any combination
thereof (it being understood that any net cash proceeds shall be treated as Net
Cash Proceeds under clause (c) of the preceding paragraph of this Section
10.14);

                  (5)      the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may sell,
exchange or dispose of damaged, worn out or other obsolete property in the
ordinary course of business or other property no longer necessary for the proper
conduct of the business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
and

                  (6)      in addition to Asset Sales permitted by the foregoing
clauses (1) through (5), without compliance with the restrictions set forth in
the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company may consummate any single Asset
Sale or series of related Asset Sales with respect to assets the Fair Market
Value of which does not exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate after the Issue
Date.

The Company may defer an Asset Sale Offer until the accumulated Net Cash
Proceeds not applied to the uses set forth in Subsections (c)(1) through (c)(5)
in the first paragraph of this Section 10.14, exceed $10.0 million. Pending the
final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may temporarily
reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in
any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

                  An Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20
Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent
that a longer period is required by applicable law (the "Asset Sale Offer
Period"). To the extent that any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or
Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary requires the Company or that
Subsidiary to make an offer similar to an Asset Sale Offer, the Company and each
such Restricted Subsidiary may make simultaneous offers, with such offer being
limited to proceeds not used in such Asset Sale Offer to repurchase such
Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary. No later than five
Business Days after the termination of the Asset Sale Offer Period (the "Asset
Sale Purchase Date"), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of
Securities required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 10.14 (the "Asset
Sale Offer Amount") at a purchase

                                       91
<PAGE>

price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to but excluding the date of the
purchase or, if less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount has been tendered, all
Securities tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer.

                  If the Asset Sale Purchase Date is on or after a Regular
Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and
unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Security is
registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no
additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Securities pursuant to
the Asset Sale Offer.

                  On or before the Asset Sale Purchase Date, the Company shall,
to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent
necessary, the Asset Sale Offer Amount of Securities or portions thereof
tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Asset Sale Offer
Amount has been tendered, all Securities tendered, and shall deliver to the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such Securities or portions
thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of
this covenant. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may
be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Asset Sale
Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the
purchase price of the Securities tendered by such Holder and accepted by the
Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue new Securities, and
the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, shall authenticate and mail
or deliver such new Securities to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to
any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered. Any Securities not so
accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder
thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer
on the Asset Sale Purchase Date. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the
amount of accumulated Net Cash Proceeds not applied to the uses set forth in
subsections (c)(1) through (c)(5) in the first paragraph of this Section 10.14
shall be reset to zero, and the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use
such amount for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.

                  The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any applicable other
securities laws or regulations applicable to any Asset Sale Offer. To the extent
that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Section 10.14, the Company will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the provisions of this Section 10.14 by virtue of such
conflict; provided, that the Company shall not be relieved of its obligation to
make an offer to repurchase the Securities pursuant to this Section 10.14 by
reason of such conflict.

                  Section 10.15 Limitation on Activities of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries.

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

                  Section 10.16 Change of Control.

                           (a)      Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control,
each Holder of a Security shall have the right to request to have such Security
repurchased by the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section
10.16 and this Indenture. The Company shall, within 30 days following the date
of the consummation of a transaction resulting in a Change of Control, mail to
each Holder an Offer to Purchase all Outstanding Securities at a purchase price
in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to but excluding the Purchase
Date (a "Change of Control Offer").

                  The Company or a third party on its behalf may, but shall not
be required to, satisfy the Company's obligations under this Section 10.16 by
mailing such an Offer to Purchase prior to, and contingent upon, the anticipated
consummation of a transaction resulting in a Change of Control; provided that
the Company and any such third party shall comply with all applicable laws and
regulations, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and the Offer to
Purchase shall not close unless the transaction resulting in a Change of Control
also occurs. A Change of Control Offer shall remain open for a period of 20
Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent
that a longer period is required by applicable law (the "Change of Control Offer
Period"). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Change
of Control Offer Period (the "Change of Control Purchase Date"), the Company
shall purchase all Securities tendered in response to the Change of Control
Offer. Payment for any Securities so purchased shall be made in the same manner
as interest payments are made.

                  If the Change of Control Purchase Date is on or after a
Regular 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 Security is registered at the close of business on
such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest or Liquidated Damages will
be payable to Holders who tender Securities pursuant to the Change of Control
Offer.

                  On or before the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company
shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment all Securities or portions
thereof tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
stating that such Securities or portions thereof were accepted for payment by
the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.16. The Company, the
Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any
case not later than five days after the Change of Control Purchase Date) mail or
deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase

                                       93
<PAGE>

price of the Securities tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for
purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue new Securities, and the Trustee,
upon written request from the Company shall authenticate and mail or deliver
such new Securities to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any
unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered. Any Securities not so
accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder
thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of
Control Offer on the Change of Control Purchase Date.

                           (b)      The Company shall comply, to the extent
applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws or regulations applicable to any Offer to Purchase. To the
extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of this Section 10.16, the Company will comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 10.16 by virtue of
such conflict; provided, that the Company shall not be relieved of its
obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Securities pursuant to this
Section 10.16 by reason of such conflict.

                  Section 10.17 Statement by Officers as to Default; Compliance
Certificates.

                           (a)      The Company shall deliver to the Trustee,
within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers' Certificate
stating that a review of the activities of the Company, the Restricted
Subsidiaries and their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, during the
preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing
officers with a view to determining whether the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations
under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such officer signing such
certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and
every covenant contained in this Indenture and are not in default in the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this
Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing
all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and
what action the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are taking or propose to
take with respect thereto).

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

<PAGE>

                           (c)      The Company shall, so long as any of the
Securities are outstanding, upon any officer of the Company becoming aware of
any Default or Event of Default, deliver to the Trustee, no later than 10 days
after such officer becomes aware of such Default or Event of Default, an
Officers' Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what
action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

                  Section 10.18 Waiver of Certain Covenants.

                  The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may omit in any
particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in
Sections 8.01, 10.14 and 10.16, if before the time for such compliance the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such
instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no
such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition, except to the
extent expressly waived, and, until such waiver becomes effective, the
obligations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and the duties of the
Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force
and effect; provided, however, with respect to an Offer to Purchase as to which
an Offer has been mailed, no such waiver may be made or shall be effective
against any Holders tendering Securities pursuant to such Offer, and the Company
may not omit to comply with the terms of such Offer as to such Holder.

                  Section 10.19 Payments for Consent.

                  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Securities for or as an
inducement to, any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or
provisions of this Indenture unless such consideration is offered to be paid and
is paid to all Holders of the Securities 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 10.20 Covenants upon Attainment and
                                Maintenance of an Investment Grade Rating.

                           (a)      The provisions of Sections 10.08, 10.09,
10.10, 10.11, 10.12, 10.13 and 10.14 (including, to the extent applicable, those
portions of such other sections in this Indenture which make reference to
provisions contained in Sections 10.08, 10.09, 10.10, 10.11, 10.12, 10.13 and
10.14) shall not be applicable in the event, and only for so long as, the
Securities are rated Investment Grade and no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing (a "Covenant Suspension").

                           (b)      In the event the Company's obligations under
this Indenture have been assumed or fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a
senior basis by a Person whose senior and unsecured Indebtedness is rated
Investment Grade, Section 7.04(b) shall not be applicable.

                                       95
<PAGE>

                  In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, in the event of a Covenant Suspension, whose
duration is not less than six consecutive months, shall have occurred but
terminates because the Securities cease to be rated Investment Grade then:

                                    (1)      All Indebtedness Incurred by the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Covenant Suspension that
would not have been permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 10.08, had
Section 10.08 been applicable during the Covenant Suspension, shall be deemed to
be "Existing Indebtedness."

                                    (2)      All Liens incurred by the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Covenant Suspension that would not
have been permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.12, had Section 10.12
been applicable during the Covenant Suspension, shall be deemed to be "Existing
Liens."

                                    (3)      All Preferred Stock issued by the
Company's Restricted Subsidiaries during the Covenant Suspension that would not
have been permitted to be issued pursuant to Section 10.09, had such section
been applicable during the Covenant Suspension, shall be deemed to be "Existing
Preferred Stock."

                                    (4)      All Restricted Payments made by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Covenant Suspension
that would not have been permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 10.10, had
such section been applicable during the Covenant Suspension, shall not be deemed
to cause a Default or Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.10; provided,
however, that all Restricted Payments made during the Covenant Suspension shall
count as Restricted Payments for the calculation made under the first paragraph
of Section 10.10.

                  Section 11.03 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

                  The election of the Company to redeem any Securities pursuant
to Section 11.01 shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any
redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities, the
Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the
Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify
the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the aggregate principal amount of
Securities to be redeemed.

                  Section 11.04 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be
Redeemed.

                  If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed at any
time, the Trustee will select Securities for redemption as follows: (1) if the
Securities are listed on any securities exchange, in compliance with the
requirements of the principal securities exchange on which the Securities are
listed; or (2) if the Securities are not listed on any securities exchange, on a
pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and
appropriate. In any proration pursuant to this Section 11.04, the Trustee shall
make such adjustments, reallocations and eliminations as it shall deem proper
(and in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities
exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed) to the end that the
principal amount of Securities so prorated shall be $1,000 or a multiple
thereof, by increasing or decreasing or eliminating the amount which would be
allocable to any Holder on the basis of exact proportion by an amount not
exceeding $1,000.

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

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

                  Section 11.05 Notice of Redemption.

                  Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to each Holder of securities to be redeemed, at his or her
address appearing in the Security Register.

                  All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (1)      the Redemption Date;

                  (2)      the Redemption Price;

<PAGE>

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

                  (4)      that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will
become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and that interest,
and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon will cease to accrue on and after said
date; and

                  (5)      the place or places where such Securities are to be
surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price.

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

                  Section 11.06 Deposit of Redemption Price.

                  On or before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an
amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the
Redemption Date is an Interest Payment Date) accrued and unpaid interest, and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on
that date.

                  Section 11.07 Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

                  If a notice of redemption has been given as aforesaid, the
Securities to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable
at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless
the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, accrued interest,
and Liquidated Damages) such Securities shall cease to bear interest or
Liquidated Damages. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in
accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the
Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, and Liquidated Damages, if
any, to, but excluding the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments
of interest or Liquidated Damages, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or
more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section
3.08.

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

                  Section 11.08 Securities Redeemed in Part.

                  Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be
surrendered at any office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose
pursuant to Section 10.02 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service
charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange
for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

                  Section 12.01 Company's Option to Effect
                                Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

                  The Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any
time, elect to have either Section 12.02 or Section 12.03 applied to the
Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in
this Article XII.

                  Section 12.02 Defeasance and Discharge.

                  Upon the Company's exercise of the option provided in Section
12.01 applicable to this Section 12.02, the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities, on
the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
"defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the
Outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding"
only for the purposes of Section 12.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in clauses (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities
are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of
Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in
Section 12.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect
of the principal of (and premium, if any) Liquidated Damages, if any, and
interest on such Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company's
obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06,
3.07, 10.02 and 10.03, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of
the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article XII. The Company may exercise its
option under this Section 12.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option
under Section 12.03.

                  Section 12.03 Covenant Defeasance.

                  Upon the Company's exercise of the option provided in Section
12.01 applicable to this Section, (i) the Company shall be released from its
obligations under Sections 10.05 through 10.16, inclusive, and clauses (c), (d)
and (e) of Section 8.01 and (ii) the occurrence of an event specified in
Sections 5.01(c), 5.01(d) (with respect to clauses (a), (c), (d) or (e) of
Section 8.01), 5.01(e) (with respect to any of Sections 10.05 through 10.16,
inclusive), 5.01(f) and 5.01(g) shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default
(hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance
means that the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section,
clause or Article or by reason of any reference in any such Section, clause or
Article to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the
remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

                  Section 12.04 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

                  The following shall be the conditions to application of either
Section 12.02 or Section 12.03 to the then Outstanding Securities:

                           (a)      The Company shall irrevocably have deposited
or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
requirements of Section 6.09 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of
this Article XII applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of
making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and
dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in
an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled
payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their
terms, without the need for reinvestment, will provide, not later than one day
before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination
thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by
the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of
(and premium, if any,) and each installment of interest, if any, on the
Outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment
of interest in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such
Securities. For this purpose, "U.S. Government Obligations" means securities
that are (x) direct obligations of the United States of America for the payment
of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (y) obligations of a Person
controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the
United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a
full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in
either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof,
and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank (as defined in
Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any such
U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of principal of or interest on
any such U.S. Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of
the holder of such depository receipt; provided that (except as required by law)
such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable
to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the
custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment
of

                                      100
<PAGE>

principal of or interest on the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such
depository receipt.

                           (b)      In the case of an election under Section
12.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by,
the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture
there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case
to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the
Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and
discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit,
defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

                           (c)      In the case of an election under Section
12.03, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and
covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such deposit covenant defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

                           (d)      The Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate to the effect that the Securities, if then
listed on any securities exchange, will not be delisted as a result of such
deposit.

                           (e)      Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall
not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest as defined in Section 6.08
and for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any securities of
the Company.

                           (f)      No Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than an Event of
Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) or,
insofar as Section 5.01(h) is concerned, at any time during the period ending on
the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this
condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

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

                           (h)      The Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
all conditions precedent relating to either the defeasance under Section 12.02
or the covenant defeasance under Section 12.03 (as the case may be) have been
satisfied.

                           (i)      Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall
not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment
company as defined in the

                                      101
<PAGE>

Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or such trust shall be qualified
under such act or exempt from regulation thereunder.

                  Section 12.05 Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations
                                to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
                                Provisions.

                  Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section
10.03, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee --
collectively, for purposes of this Section 12.05, the "Trustee") pursuant to
Section 12.04 in respect of the Securities shall be held in trust and applied by
the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) or Liquidated Damages, if
any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law.

                  The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 12.04 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 Securities.

                  Anything in this Article XII to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company
Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in
Section 12.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then
be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant
defeasance.

                  Section 12.06 Reinstatement.

                  If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money in accordance with Section 12.02 or 12.03 by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company's obligations under
this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XII until such time as the Trustee
or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section
12.02 or 12.03; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on
any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall
be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
payment from the money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.
