Mr.  Joe  R.  Micheletto
Ralcorp  Holdings,  Inc.
800  Market  Street,  Suite  2900
St.  Louis,  MO  63101

Dear  Joe,

As  we  have discussed, the Nominating and Compensation Committee believes it is
prudent  to  focus on strategic options for the Company and/or on identification
of  your  successor  as  Chief Executive Officer.  The Committee would very much
like  for  you  to  continue  in  your  present position until your successor is
appointed.  Since  you  have asked for clarification on the terms and conditions
of  your continued service, the Committee has instructed me to set them forth in
this  letter  as  follows:

1.     Your  service  as Chief Executive Officer would continue until you resign
or  the  Committee,  in  its  absolute discretion, terminates your employment as
Chief  Executive Officer.  Your termination would be effective thirty days after
receipt  by  the  Committee  of  your letter of resignation or receipt by you of
written  notice  of  your  termination by the Committee, as the case may be.  If
such  termination is by the Committee and occurs prior to December 31, 2002, you
would  continue  to  serve  as  an  employee-consultant  from  the  date of your
termination  as  CEO  until  December  31,  2002.

2.     During  the  remainder  of  your service as Chief Executive Officer or as
employee-consultant,  you will continue to receive salary at a rate no less than
that in effect on the date of this agreement.  You will also continue to receive
the  benefits you are receiving on that date.  Your annual bonus would be, as it
is  now,  subject  to  the  sole  discretion  of  the  Committee.

3.     In  addition,  you  would  be  eligible for special incentive pay for the
period  beginning  on  the date of this letter agreement and ending December 31,
2002.  The  amount of this special incentive pay would be determined as follows:

     a.  The  maximum  amount of the special incentive pay would be equal to the
cash  value of 100,000 shares of Ralcorp stock. The value of the shares would be
based on the average of the closing price of Ralcorp's stock on the NYSE for the
ten trading days prior to the date of your termination. You would be entitled to
the  maximum  amount  if you serve as CEO until December 31, 2002, or if you are
earlier terminated as CEO by the Committee. If you resign as CEO before December
31,  2002,  the number of shares will be prorated based on the number of full or
partial  calendar  months  served  after  the  date  of  this  agreement.

     b.     Upon  a change in control of the Company prior to December 31, 2002,
your  right  to  receive  salary,  bonus and benefits under this agreement would
cease.  However,  you  would  be  entitled  to  a special incentive pay award as
provided  in  Section  3(a)  of  this  agreement.  Under  such  circumstances in
calculating the amount of your special incentive pay, the value of each share of
Ralcorp  stock  would be equal to the value of the per share consideration to be
received  by  shareholders  in  the  change  in  control.

     c.     Payment  of  your  special  incentive  pay  would be made in cash on
January  15,  2003.

     d.     In the event of your death prior to payment, the full amount of your
special incentive pay (without pro-ration) would be paid to your wife, Marty, if
she  survives  you,  and  if  not,  to  your personal representative or to those
entitled  to your estate as soon as practicable following your death.  The value
of  the 100,000 shares of Ralcorp stock would be determined based on the average
of the closing prices of the stock on the NYSE for the ten trading days prior to
the  date  of  your  death.

If  the  foregoing  is  acceptable  to  you, please sign where designated below.

                                         Sincerely

                                        /s/ Jack W. Goodall

                  INDENTURE, dated as of July 30, 2002, between Pope & Talbot,
Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Delaware (herein called the "Company"), having its principal office at 1500 S.W.
First Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97201, and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National
Association, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee").

                             RECITALS OF THE COMPANY

                  The Company has duly authorized the creation of an issue of
its 8 3/8% Senior Notes due 2013 (herein called the "Notes") of substantially
the tenor and amount hereinafter set forth, and to provide therefor the Company
has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture. The Notes have
substantially identical terms as the Company's existing 8 3/8% Debentures due
2013.

                  All things necessary to make the Notes, when executed by the
Company and authenticated and delivered hereunder and duly issued by the
Company, the valid obligations of the Company, and to make this Indenture a
valid agreement of the Company, in accordance with their and its terms, have
been done.

                   NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

                  The Company and the Trustee agree as follows for the benefit
of each other and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes,
which include the 8 3/8% Senior Notes to be issued pursuant to the Exchange
Offer (the "Exchange Notes").

                                   ARTICLE 1.

                        DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS
                             OF GENERAL APPLICATION

                  Section 1.1 Definitions. For all purposes of this Indenture,
except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

                  (1)    the terms defined in this Article have the meanings
         assigned to them in this Article and include the plural as well as the
         singular;

                  (2)    all other terms used herein which are defined in the
         Trust Indenture Act, either directly or by reference therein, have the
         meanings assigned to them therein;

                  (3)    all accounting terms (including without limitation
         "capital leases" and "retained earnings") not otherwise defined herein
         have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with generally
         accepted accounting principles, and, except as otherwise herein
         expressly provided, the term "generally accepted accounting principles"
         with respect to any computation required or permitted hereunder shall
         mean such accounting principles as are generally accepted at the date
         of such computation; and

<PAGE>

                  (4)   the words "herein," "hereof" and "hereunder" and other
         words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to
         any particular Article, Section or other subdivision.

                  Certain terms, used principally in Article 6, are defined in
that Article.

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

                  "Act" when used with respect to any Holder has the meaning
specified in Section 1.4.

                  "Additional Notes" means an unlimited aggregate principal
amount of Notes (other than the Initial Notes) issued under this Indenture in
accordance with Section 3.2 hereof, as part of the same series as the Initial
Notes.

                  "Affiliate" of any specified Person means any other Person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect
common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition,
"control" when used with respect to any specified Person means the power to
direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise;
and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the
foregoing.

                  "Applicable Procedures" means, with respect to any transfer or
exchange of or for beneficial interests in any Global Note, the rules and
procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream that apply to such
transfer or exchange.

                  "Authenticating Agent" means any Person authorized by the
Trustee to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes.

                  "Beneficial Owner" has the meaning assigned to such term in
Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the
beneficial ownership of any particular "Person" (as that term is used in Section
13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), such "Person" will be deemed to have beneficial
ownership of all securities that such "Person" has the right to acquire by
conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently
exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent
condition. The terms "Beneficially Owns" and "Beneficially Owned" have a
corresponding meaning.

                  "Board of Directors" means either the board of directors of
the Company or any duly authorized committee of that board.

                  Section 1.6   Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice of any event or report to Holders, such notice or report
shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by
such event, at his address as it appears in the Note Register (and to such other
addressees as may be required in the case of such notice or report under section
313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act), not later than the latest date, and not
earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or
report. 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

                              TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

                  Section 2.1  Transfer and Exchange.

                  (a)   Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may
not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another
nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a
successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes
will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:

                        (1)    the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from
         the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as
         Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under
         the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not
         appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice
         from the Depositary; or

                        (2)    the Company in its sole discretion determines
         that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged
         for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to
         the Trustee.

                  Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (1)
or (2) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary
shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in
whole or in part, as provided in Sections 3.3 and 3.5 hereof. Every Note
authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any
portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.1 or Section 3.3 or 3.5 hereof,
shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided
in this Section 2.1(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be
transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.1(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

                  (b)   Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the
Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global
Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the
Restricted Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable
to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act.
Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require
compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as
one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

                                       12

<PAGE>

                       (1)   Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global
         Note. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be
         transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a
         beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance
         with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement
         Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the
         Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation
         S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or
         benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial
         interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons
         who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an
         Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be
         required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers
         described in this Section 2.1(b)(1).

                       (2)   All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial
         Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and
         exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section
         2.1(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must
         deliver to the Registrar either:

                       (A)   both:

                             with the Applicable Procedures directing the
                             Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a
                             beneficial interest in another Global Note in an
                             amount equal to the beneficial interest to be
                             transferred or exchanged; and

                       (ii)  instructions given in accordance with the
                             Applicable Procedures containing information
                             regarding the Participant account to be credited
                             with such increase; or

                       (B)   both:

                       (i)   a written order from a Participant or an Indirect
                             Participant given to the Depositary in accordance
                             with the Applicable Procedures directing the
                             Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note
                             in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be
                             transferred or exchanged; and

                       (ii)  instructions given by the Depositary to the
                             Registrar containing information regarding the
                             Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be
                             registered to effect the transfer or exchange
                             referred to in (i) above. Upon consummation of an
                             Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance with
                             Section 2.1(f) hereof, the requirements of this
                             Section 2.1(b)(2) shall be deemed to have been
                             satisfied upon receipt by the Registrar of the
                             instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal
                             delivered by the Holder of such beneficial
                             interests in the Restricted Global Note. Upon
                             satisfaction of all of the requirements for
                             transfer or exchange of

                             beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in
                             this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise
                             applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee
                             shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant
                             Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.1(h) hereof.

                       (3)   Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another
         Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global
         Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the
         form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the
         transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.1(b)(2) above and
         the Registrar receives the following:

                       (A)   if the transferee will take delivery in the form of
                  a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, then the
                  transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B
                  hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof;

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

         Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery
         thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
         Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of
         Section 2.1(b)(2) above and:

                       (A)   such exchange or transfer is effected pursuant to
                  the Exchange Offer in accordance with the Registration Rights

                  the case of a transfer, certifies in the applicable Letter of
                  Transmittal that it is not (i) a Broker-Dealer, (ii) a Person
                  participating in the distribution of the Exchange Notes or
                  (iii) a Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of

<PAGE>

                       (i)   if the holder of such beneficial interest in a
                             Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such
                             beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an
                             Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such
                             holder in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including
                             the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or

                       (ii)  if the holder of such beneficial interest in a
                             Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such
                             beneficial interest to a Person who shall take

         Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein
         and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to
         maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

                  If any such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (B)
or (D) above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued,
the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with

RESTRICTIONS."

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

                  (7)   The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and
       Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof.

                  (8)   All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel

                                   ARTICLE 3.

                                    THE NOTES

            Section 3.1 Form and Dating.

            (a)   General. The Notes and the Trustee's certificate of
authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes
may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule
or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes
shall be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

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

            (b)   Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global
Note Legend thereon and the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global
Note" attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form

                                       25

<PAGE>

will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the
Global Note Legend thereon and without the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests
in the Global Note" attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of
the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that
it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to
time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as
appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global
Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the
Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with
instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.1 hereof.

       (c)  Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of
the "Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System" and "Terms and Conditions
Governing Use of Euroclear" and the "General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream
Banking" and "Customer Handbook" of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers
of beneficial interests in Global Notes that are held by Participants through
Euroclear or Clearsteam.

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

       Section 3.2   Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes
shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its
Vice Chairman, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate
seal reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant
Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual
or facsimile.

       Notes 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 Notes or did not hold
such offices at the date of such Notes.

       At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the
Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication
and delivery of such Notes; and the Trustee in accordance with such Company
Order shall authenticate Notes for original issue up to the aggregate principal
amount stated in the Notes. There may be an unlimited aggregate principal amount
of Notes outstanding at any time.

       Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

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

                                       26

       Section 3.3   Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive
Notes, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are
issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by
their execution of such Notes.

       If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to
be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon
surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency of the Company
designated pursuant to Section 10.2, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so
exchanged the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

       Section 3.4   Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The
Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a
register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or
agency designated pursuant to Section 10.2 being herein sometimes collectively
referred to as the "Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration
of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Note
Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein
provided. The term "Note Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term
"Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any
Paying Agent or Note Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will
notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party
to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
Note Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or
any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Note Registrar.

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

       Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office or
agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.2 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 Notes of any
authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.

       At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of
any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any
Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.

                                       27

<PAGE>

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

       Every Note 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 Note 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 Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 3.4 or 9.6 not involving any transfer.

       Section 3.5   Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note 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 Note and (ii)
such bond, 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 Note 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 Note, a
new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

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

       Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Company may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Every new Note issued
pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether
or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be 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 Notes 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 Notes.

       Section 3.6   Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on
any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date

                                       28

<PAGE>

shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor
Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for
such interest.

            Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is 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 such Holder, and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as
provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

                  (1)  The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
       Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective
       Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on 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
       Note 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 in this Clause provided. 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 Note 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 Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at
       the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be
       payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

                  (2)  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 Notes 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, each Note
delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and
unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

            Section 3.7  Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a
Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee

                                       29

<PAGE>

may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such
Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any)
and (subject to Section 3.6) interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such
Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note 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.

              Section 3.8  Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment,
registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee and no one else shall
cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment,
replacement or cancellation and shall destroy canceled Notes (subject to the
record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). The Company may at any time
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the
Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes
canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as
directed by a Company Order.

              Section 3.9  Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall
be computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months.

                                   ARTICLE 4.

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

              Section 4.1  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 Notes herein expressly 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

                     (1)   either

                     (A)   all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered
              (other than (i) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen
              and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.5
              and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been
              deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company
              and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such
              trust, as provided in Section 10.3) have been delivered to the
              Trustee for cancellation; or,

                     (B)   all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the
              Trustee for cancellation

                           (i)   have become due and payable, or

                           (ii)  will become due and payable at their Stated
                     Maturity within one year,

                                       30

<PAGE>

       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 Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
       for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date of such
       deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and payable) or to
       the Stated Maturity, as the case may be,

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

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

          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.7, the obligations of
the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of
this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and the last
paragraph of Section 10.3, shall survive.

          Section 4.2 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of
Section 10.3, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall
be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the
Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if
any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the
Trustee.

          Section 4.3 Release of Paying Agent. In connection with the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture all moneys then held by any Paying
Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company,
be paid to the Trustee and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from
all further liability with respect to such moneys.

          Section 4.4 Unclaimed Moneys. Subject to applicable law, any moneys
deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Note and not applied but
remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such principal (and
premium, if any) or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, shall have become
due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee or such Paying
Agent on demand and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the
Company for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect and all
liability of the Trustee or any Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall
thereupon cease; provided, however, that the trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment may at the expense of the
Company cause to be published once a week for two successive weeks (in each case
on any day of the week) in a newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, New York,
New York, a notice that said moneys have not been so applied and that after a
date named therein any unclaimed balance of said moneys then remaining will be
returned to the Company. It shall not be necessary for more than one such
publication to be made in the

                                       31

<PAGE>

same newspaper. In the absence of a written demand from the Company to return
unclaimed funds to the Company, the Trustee shall from time to time deliver all
unclaimed funds to or as directed by applicable escheat authorities, as
determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the
customary practices and procedures of the Trustee. Any unclaimed funds held by
the Trustee pursuant to this section shall be univested and without any
liability for interest.

                                   ARTICLE 5.

           Section 5.1 Events of Default. "Event of Default," wherever used
herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected
by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body);

                 (1)   default in the payment of any interest upon, or any

       breach for a period of 60 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 Notes a written notice specifying such defaults or
       breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a

       the Company 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 in excess of $5,000,000 by the Company,
       whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which
       default (i) shall consist of a failure to pay such indebtedness at final
       maturity and after the expiration of any applicable grace period or (ii)
       shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due
       and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due
       and payable, without such acceleration's having been rescinded or
       annulled, or such indebtedness' having been discharged, within a period
       of 10 days after there shall have 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 Notes a written notice specifying such default and requiring
       the Company to cause such acceleration to be rescinded or

                                       32

<PAGE>

       annulled or cause such indebtedness to be discharged and staging that
       such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

               (5)    the entry of a decree or order by a court having
       jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Company a bankrupt or
       insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking
       reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect
       of the Company under federal bankruptcy law or any other applicable
       federal or state law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
       trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any
       substantial part of its property, or, ordering the winding up or
       liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or
       order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

               (6)    the institution by the Company of proceedings to be
       adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the
       institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the
       filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or
       relief under federal bankruptcy law or any other applicable federal or
       state law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the
       appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or
       similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its
       property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of
       creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its
       debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by
       the Company in furtherance of any such action.

          Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If
an Event of Default 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 Notes may declare the principal of all the Notes 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 shall become
immediately due and payable.

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

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

              (A)     all overdue installments of interest and Liquidated
          Damages, if any, on all Notes,

              (B)     the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes which
          have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and
          interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes,

                                       33

<PAGE>

              (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
          interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by
          the Notes, and

              (D)  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

              (2)  all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
     principal of Notes 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.

       Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee. The Company covenants that if

              (1)  default is made in the payment of any installment of interest
     or Liquidated Damages, if any, on any Note when such interest or Liquidated
     Damages, if any, becomes due and payable and such default continues for a
     period of 30 days, or

              (2)  default is made in the payment of the principal of (or
     premium, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for
principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the
extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue
installments of interest, at the rate borne by the Notes; and, in addition
thereto, 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.

       If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the
Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the
property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

       If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders of such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most
effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

       Section 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of
any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to
the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Company
or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee

                                       34

<PAGE>

(irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of
overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise,

              (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal
       (and premium, if any) and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, owing
       and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or
       documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
       the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
       expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
       counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

              (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable
       or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any 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 6.7.

              Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or
the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

              Section 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Notes 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 Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

              Section 5.6 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 Notes, 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
       6.7;

              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 Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such
       money has been collected, ratably,

                                       35

<PAGE>

       without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due
       and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and
       interest, respectively; and

            THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company.

            Section 5.7 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Note 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

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

                  (2)   the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal
        amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the
        Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in
        its own name as Trustee hereunder;

                  (3)   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;

                  (4)   the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such
        notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
        proceeding; and

                  (5)   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 Notes;

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 5.8 Unconditional Right of Holders To Receive Principal,
Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the
Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (subject
to Section 3.6) and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Note on the respective
Stated Maturity as expressed in such Note and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without
the consent of such Holder.

            Section 5.9 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

                                       36

<PAGE>

remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.

              Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 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 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, or 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 Note 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 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 Notes 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

                     (1)   such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule
        of law or with this Indenture, and

                     (2)   the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
        by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

              Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may on behalf
of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default hereunder and its
consequences, except a default

                     (1)   in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
        any)or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on any Note, or

                     (2)   in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which
        under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
        Holder of each Outstanding Note 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 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

                                       37

<PAGE>

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.

              Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Note by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to
have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right of remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against
the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the
filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking pay the costs of
such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any
suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group
of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement
of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note
on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note.

                                   ARTICLE 6.

                                   THE TRUSTEE

              Section 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default,

                  (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only
       such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no
       implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
       against the Trustee; and

                  (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
       conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
       of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions
       furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
       Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by
       any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the
       Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to
       determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
       Indenture; and

                  (3) the obligations, responsibilities and liabilities of the
       Trustee under this Indenture are contractual in nature and the Trustee
       shall not be deemed to be acting as a fiduciary or common law trustee.

              (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in-the conduct of his
own affairs.

                                       38

<PAGE>

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

                  (1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect
       of Subsection (a) of this Section;

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

                  (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
       taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
       direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
       the Outstanding Notes relating to the time, method and place of
       conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
       exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
       Indenture; and

                  (4) the Trustee shall not be required 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.

              (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision
of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee as Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying
Agent or Note Registrar, shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

              Section 6.2 Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the
occurrence of any default hereunder, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all
Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Note Register, notice of
such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been
cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the
board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders; and provided,
further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section
5.1(4), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after
the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term "default"
means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become,
an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a default unless either (A) a
Responsible Officer in the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall have
actual knowledge of such default or (B) the Trustee shall have received written
notice thereof from the Company, from any Holder, from the holder of any such
indebtedness or from the trustee under any such mortgage, indenture or other
instrument.

          Section 6.3 Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 6.1:

          (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
     refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
     instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
     bond, debenture, note or other paper or document believed by it to be
     genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
     parties;

          (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be
     sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any
     resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a
     Board Resolution;

          (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall
     deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking,
     suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless otherwise
     evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may request and in the absence
     of bad faith on its part rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

          (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel, and the written advice of
     such counsel or any opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
     authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or
     omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

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

          (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
     facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
     instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
     bond, debenture, note or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
     discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
     or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make
     such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
     books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or
     attorney;

          (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
     perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
     attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
     negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by
     it hereunder; and

          (h) the discretionary rights afforded the Trustee hereunder shall not
     be construed as a duty.

          Section 6.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. The
recitals contained hereunder and in the Notes, except the Trustee's certificates
of authentication, shall be

                                       40

<PAGE>

taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall
not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes or the
proceeds thereof.

          Section 6.5 May Hold Notes. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any
Paying Agent, any Note Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and,
subject to Sections 6.8 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, Note Registrar or such other agent.

          Section 6.6 Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust
hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required
by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money
received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company.

          Section 6.7 Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees

              (1)     to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
       compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
       compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
       the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

              (2)     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 any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable
       compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and
       counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
       attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

              (3)     to indemnify the Trustee and each of the Trustee's
       directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the
       "Indemnitees") for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss,
       liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their
       part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
       administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of
       defending the Indemnitees against any claim or liability in connection
       with the exercise or performance of any of the powers or duties hereunder
       as Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent or Note Registrar.

          To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, the
Trustee shall have a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate
on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in
trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.

          The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive satisfaction and
discharge of the Indenture in accordance with Article 4 and the resignation and
removal of the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.10.

          Section 6.8 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. The Trustee shall
comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act; provided that there shall
be excluded from the

                                       41

<PAGE>

operation of Section 310(b)(1) thereof any indenture or indentures under which
other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other
securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion
set forth in Section 310(b)(1) thereof are met.

          Section 6.9  Eligibility of Trustee. The Trustee shall at all times
satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The
Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 as set
forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. If at any time
the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article.

          Section 6.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor(a) .

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

          (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to
the Trustee and to the Company.

          (d) If at any time:

              (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 after
       written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a
       bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or

              (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9 and
       shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
       any such Holder, or

              (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be
       adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
       property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or
       control of the Trustee or its property or affairs for the purpose of

Trustee, or (ii) subject to applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act,
any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six 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 shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the
Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If,

resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes 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 shall
have 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
Note for at least six 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 by mailing written
notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders as
their names and addresses appear in the Note Register. 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, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in
Section 6.7. 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 shall be qualified and eligible under
this Article.

          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, whether by sale or otherwise, 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, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall 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 Notes so authenticated with the same effect
as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

          Section 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The
Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding
any creditor relationship

                                       43

<PAGE>

listed in Section 311(b) thereof. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed
shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent
indicated.

          Section 6.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any
of the Notes remain Outstanding the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent
or Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Notes issued upon exchange, registration of transfer thereof or
pursuant to Section 3.5, and Notes 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 Notes 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 a combined capital and surplus of not less than $5,000,000 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 shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

          Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, by sale or otherwise, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
Authenticating Agent shall be 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, 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 shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, 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 Note 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 named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor
Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of
this Section.

                                       44

          The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.7, or the Authenticating Agent may bill the Company
directly for its services.

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

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

          (b) The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with
respect to their rights under this Indenture or with respect to the Notes, and

notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.

          Section 7.4 Reports by the Company. The Company shall file with the
Trustee and the Commission, and transmit to the Holders, such information,
documents and other reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required

          Section 8.1  The Company May Consolidate, etc., only on Certain Terms.
The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or

     organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any
     State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an

       installment of interest on, any Note, or reduce the principal amount

       hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture; or

                (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section
       5.13, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain
       other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without
       the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby.

          It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to
approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall
be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

          Section 9.3 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted
by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this
Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section

that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by

such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

          Section 9.4 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of
any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified

                                       49

<PAGE>

Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form
approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to
conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any such
supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for such Outstanding
Notes.

                                   ARTICLE 10.

                                   COVENANTS

          Section 10.1 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Company
will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest

Rights Agreement.

          Section 10.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will
maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency
where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be
served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any
time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee or at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for
such purpose, 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 of the above location) where the Notes may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain
an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such
purposes. The Company will 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 10.3 Money for Note Payments To Be Held in Trust. If the
Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before
each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of
the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest
so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure to so act.

          Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will,
prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on
any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal
(and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal,

                                       50

<PAGE>

premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company
will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

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

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

              (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any
       other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal,
       premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest; and

              (3) 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 money.

          Section 10.4 Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 8, the Company
will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full
force and effect its corporate 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 Board of Directors shall determine
that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the
business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any
material respect to the Holders.

          Section 10.5 Limitation on Liens. The Company will not, and will not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any
indebtedness for money borrowed or any other indebtedness evidenced by notes,
bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed
(hereinafter in this Section and in Section 10.6 called "Debt") secured by
pledge of, or mortgage, deed of trust or other lien on, any Principal Property
owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any shares of stock or
Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary (such pledges, mortgages, deeds of trust and
other liens being hereinafter in this Section and in Section 10.6 called
"Mortgages"), without effectively providing that the Notes (together with, if
the Company shall so determine, any other Debt of the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created which is not subordinate to the

          Section 10.6 Limitation on Sales and Leasebacks. The Company will not,
and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement
with any bank, insurance company or other lender or investor (not including the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary) or to which any such lender or investor is
a party, providing for the leasing by the Company or any such Restricted
Subsidiary for a period in excess of three years (including renewals), of any
Principal Property owned by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary which has
been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or any such Restricted
Subsidiary to such lender or investor or to any person to whom funds have been
or are to be advanced by such lender or investor on the security of such
Principal Property (herein referred to as a "sale and leaseback transaction")
unless either:

          (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could create Debt
     secured by a Mortgage on the Principal Property to be leased back without
     equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 10.5, or

          (b) the Company, within 120 days after the sale or transfer shall have
     been made by the Company or by any such Restricted Subsidiary, applies an
     amount equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of the sale of the
     Principal Property sold and leased back pursuant to such arrangement or
     (ii) the fair market value of the Principal Property so sold and leased
     back at the time of entering into such arrangement (as determined by the
     Board of Directors of the Company) to (x) the purchase of property,
     facilities or equipment (other than the property, facilities or equipment
     involved in such sale) having a value at least equal to the net proceeds of
     such sale or (y) the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company.

          Section 10.7 Exemption from Limitation on Liens and Sales and
Leasebacks. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.5 and 10.6, the
Company and any one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries may nevertheless
create or assume Mortgages which would otherwise require securing the Notes
under Section 10.5, and enter into sale and leaseback transactions without
compliance with Section 10.6, provided that the aggregate amount of all such
Mortgages and sale and leaseback transactions permitted by this Section at any
time outstanding (as measured by the sum of (i) all Debt secured by all such
Mortgages then outstanding or to be so created or assumed, but excluding secured
Debt permitted under the exceptions in Section 10.5, and (ii) the Value of all
such sale and leaseback transactions then outstanding or to be so entered into,
but excluding such transactions otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 10.6)
shall not exceed 10% of the Net Tangible Assets of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries.

          For purposes of this Section 10.7, the term "Value" shall mean, with
respect to a sale and leaseback transaction, as of any particular time, the
amount equal to the greater of (1) the net proceeds of the sale or transfer of
the property leased pursuant to such sale and leaseback transaction or (2) the
fair value in the opinion of the Board of Directors of such property at the time
of entering into such sale and leaseback transaction, in either case divided
first by the number of full years of the term of the lease and then multiplied
by the number of full years of such term remaining at the time of determination,
without regard to any renewal or extension options contained in the lease.

issued under an Indenture, dated as of July 30, 2002 (herein called the
"Indenture"), between the Company and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, as Trustee
(herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under
the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures 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, the
holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts
with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture
shall govern and be controlling.

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

          The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the

time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of 66 2/3%
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including any Additional Notes, if
any) at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
(including any Additional Notes, if any) at the time Outstanding, on behalf of
the Holders of all the Notes, 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 Note shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Note and of any Note 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 Note.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on this Note at the times, 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 Note is registrable in the Note
Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office
or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar, duly executed by, the Holder
hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

          The Notes 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, Notes are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a different
authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
