                  1.01; and

                  work such hours where such agreement is required by applicable
                  legislation.

                                    ARTICLE 4

            SECTION 4.01 COVENANTS. The Employee acknowledges that in the course
of performing his duties he will have access to certain confidential information
of 724 Solutions, Inc. and its affiliates, in which 724 Solutions, Inc. has
proprietary rights and which is not in the public domain, that 724 Solutions,
Inc. has a significant and material interest in the business to which Employee's
duties relate, that the Employee's duties in this section are an essential
condition and obligation of this Agreement and that any material breach of this
section by the Employee would cause irreparable harm to 724 Solutions, Inc. or
any of its affiliates. In consideration for 724 Solutions, Inc. and Saturn

            SECTION 4.02 COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. (1) Unless prior written
consent is provided by 724 Solutions, Inc., Employee agrees, so long as he is
directly or indirectly an employee of 724 Solutions, Inc. and following

or indirectly and whether alone or jointly with any other person, corporation,
organization, association or entity (a "Person") and whether as an owner,
shareholder, agent, employee, director, officer, partner, consultant, lender or
in any other capacity from operating, being involved or having an interest in,
owning, managing, financing, controlling or participating in the ownership,
management, operations or control of, any Person that engages in the business of

Solutions, Inc. or TANTAU Software, Inc. or any of their affiliates have
previously made sales or licenses or in which 724 Solutions, Inc. or TANTAU
Software, Inc. or any of their affiliates are then conducting consulting,
demonstration or other technical services (whether or not for fee or cost
recovery) with a view to potential sales or licenses, that are substantially
similar to or competitive with those provided by 724 Solutions, Inc. or its
affiliates.

(2)         Notwithstanding section 4.02(1), Employee may own, directly or
indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any enterprise that provides

            SECTION 4.03 COVENANT NOT TO SOLICIT. Employee shall not, either for

            providing services akin to those of an employee of 724 Solutions,

      (b)   in any way interfere with the relationship between 724 Solutions,
            Inc. (or any entity under 724 Solutions, Inc.'s control) and any
            employee or consultant of 724 Solutions, Inc. (or such entity), and
            without limiting the generality of the foregoing, will not hire (in
            the broadest sense) or cause to be hired any employee or consultant
            of 724 Solutions, Inc.;

      (c)   induce, or attempt to induce, any person or entity that Employee

            control of 724 Solutions, Inc. to cease doing business with 724
            Solutions, Inc. or any entity under the control of 724 Solutions,
            Inc., as the case may be, or in any way knowingly interfere with the
            relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or

            such entity; or

      (d)   enter into any form of business arrangement functionally similar to
            or competitive with the business of 724 Solutions, Inc. or TANTAU
            Software, Inc. with any Person who then is or is proposed to be a
            client, supplier or business partner of 724 Solutions, Inc. or
            TANTAU Software, Inc. (and its subsidiaries, related corporations,
            partnerships and joint ventures);

except to the extent any such actions in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above are
undertaken during the Period of Employment in the performance of Employee's
duties hereunder as contemplated by this Agreement.

            SECTION 4.04 COVENANT RE: CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Employee agrees,
both for the duration of this Agreement and at all times after the termination
thereof:

      (a)   except as required by law, to keep secret and not disclose to any
            person, firm or corporation Confidential Information (as such term
            is defined in Section 7.01 hereof); and

      (b)   not make use, directly or indirectly, of any such Confidential
            Information for his ends or for any purpose other than the
            performance of his duties with 724 Solutions, Inc. and its
            affiliates.

            SECTION 4.05 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT RE: RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. Employee
acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Article 4 are reasonable and

Confidential Information.

                                      -6-

            SECTION 4.06 MODIFICATION AND SEVERABILITY. (1) While each of the
parties acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Article 4 are
reasonable in view of the circumstances, it is recognized that restrictions of
the nature in question may fail for technical reasons unforeseen and
accordingly, it is hereby agreed and declared that if any of such restrictions
shall be adjudged to be void as going beyond what is reasonable in all the
circumstances for the protection of the interests of 724 Solutions, Inc., but
would be valid if part of the wording thereof were deleted or the periods
thereof reduced or the range of activities or area dealt with thereby reduced in
scope, the said restriction shall apply with such modifications as may be
necessary to make it valid and effective.

(2)         Each and every covenant under this Article shall be treated as a
separate covenant and shall be severally enforceable as such. In the event of
any covenant or covenants being or becoming unenforceable in whole or in part,
such part or parts as are unenforceable shall be deleted from this Article and
any such deletion shall not affect the enforceability of all such parts of this
Article as remain not so deleted.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                                   TERMINATION

            SECTION 5.01 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. (1) Neither 724 Solutions,
Inc., Employer nor Employee makes any representation to the other that
employment will continue for a set period of time or that employment will be
terminated only under particular circumstances. Both Employer and Employee may

the provisions of this Agreement.

            SECTION 5.02 TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS. Employee agrees as follows:

            (i)   All property, including, without limitation, all equipment,
                  tangible proprietary information (including Confidential
                  Information), documents, books, records, reports, notes,
                  contracts, lists, computer disks (and other computer-generated
                  files and data), and copies thereof, created on any medium and
                  furnished to, obtained by, or prepared by Employee in the
                  course of or incident to his employment, belongs to 724
                  Solutions, Inc. or its affiliates and shall be returned
                  promptly to 724 Solutions, Inc. upon termination of Employee's
                  employment by either Employer, for any reason (and whether for
                  Cause or not), or Employee.

            (ii)  All benefits to which Employee is otherwise entitled shall
                  cease upon Employee's termination for any reason (and whether
                  for Cause or not), unless explicitly continued either under
                  this Agreement, under any specific written policy or benefit
                  plan of 724 Solutions, Inc. or its affiliates, or as may be
                  required by statute.

            (iii) Upon termination of employment for any reason (and whether for
                  Cause or not) under this Agreement, Employee shall be deemed
                  to have resigned from all offices and directorships then held
                  with 724 Solutions, Inc. or any subsidiary. The Employee shall
                  sign any document or do such things that

<PAGE>
                                      -7-

                  are reasonably required by 724 Solutions, Inc. to give effect
                  to any such resignation. Should the Employee fail to do so,
                  any director of 724 Solutions, Inc. is hereby irrevocably
                  authorized in the Employee's name and on his behalf to sign
                  any document or do any thing which is required to give effect
                  thereto.

            (iv)  The covenants contained in ARTICLES 4, 6 AND 7 and Employee's
                  obligations under this Section 5.02 shall survive the
                  termination of this Agreement and the termination of
                  employment for any reason (and whether for Cause or not).

            (v)   Following any voluntary termination of employment or
                  termination for Good Reason by Employee, Employee shall, where
                  reasonably requested by 724 Solutions, Inc., reasonably
                  cooperate with 724 Solutions, Inc. for a reasonable period of
                  time after such termination of employment in the orderly
                  transition of duties and work assignments to other employees
                  of 724 Solutions, Inc. and its affiliates, provided that 724
                  Solutions, Inc. continues to pay Employee compensation on a
                  per diem basis, at a rate equal to Employee's base salary in
                  effect at Employee's date of termination, during any such
                  reasonable period of time that Employee's cooperation is
                  requested. Employee shall also reasonably cooperate, at 724
                  Solutions, Inc.'s expense, in the defense of any action
                  brought by any third party against 724 Solutions, Inc. and its
                  affiliates that relates in any way to Employee's acts or
                  omissions while employed by 724 Solutions, Inc. and its
                  affiliates.

            SECTION 5.03 TERMINATION UPON DEATH. If Employee dies during the
Period of Employment, the Period of Employment and this Agreement shall
automatically terminate.

            SECTION 5.04 TERMINATION UPON DISABILITY. If during the Period of
Employment, Employee shall become physically or mentally incapacitated and as a
result thereof he is unable to perform the essential functions of his position
with or without a reasonable accommodation, for a continuous period of more than
120 days, then 724 Solutions, Inc., Employer and Employee specifically agree
that this Agreement has been frustrated, and therefore Employer is entitled to
terminate Employee's employment on one month's notice or grant Employee one
month's salary in lieu of notice.

            SECTION 5.05 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT TERM WITHOUT CAUSE. Employer
reserves the right to terminate the Period of Employment without Cause at any
time upon paying to the Employee a lump sum payment of an amount equal to twelve
(12) months of On-Target Earnings (as defined in Schedule A), less statutory
deductions and withholdings (the "Severance Amount"), which amount the parties
agree is pay-in-lieu of reasonable notice. Employee agrees to release 724
Solutions, Inc. and its affiliates from any action, cause of action, claim or
demand against 724 Solutions, Inc. or any other person, which may arise as a
consequence of such termination and to sign a waiver and release to this effect
in a form satisfactory to 724 Solutions, Inc. as a condition to receiving
payment under this Section.

<PAGE>
                                      -8-

            SECTION 5.06 TERMINATION FOR GOOD REASON. Employee may terminate the
Period of Employment for Good Reason at any time. Upon such termination for Good
Reason, Employer shall pay Employee the Severance Amount. Employee agrees to
release 724 Solutions, Inc. and its affiliates from any action, cause of action,
claim or demand against 724 Solutions, Inc. or any other person, which may arise
as a consequence of such termination and to sign a waiver and release to this
effect in a form satisfactory to 724 Solutions, Inc. as a condition to receiving
payment under this Section. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" will
exist at any time following the occurrence of one or more of the following
events without the Employee's written consent:

            (i)   the assignment to Employee of any duties materially
                  inconsistent with Employee's position, authority, duties or
                  responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement or any other
                  action by the Employer that results in a material diminution
                  in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities;

            (ii)  a reduction in Employee's compensation and benefits below that
                  set forth in Section 2.01 and Exhibit "A"; or

            (iii) relocation, without Employee's consent of Employee's place of
                  employment by more than fifty (50) miles;

provided however, that Employee shall not terminate his employment hereunder
unless Employee first gives notice of his intention to terminate and the grounds
for such termination, and Employer has not, within thirty (30) days following
receipt of such notice, cured such Good Reason.

            SECTION 5.07 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT TERM FOR CAUSE. Employer may
at any time and without notice immediately terminate the Period of Employment
for Cause and Employee shall have no right to receive any compensation or

the termination date). For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" will exist at any
time following the occurrence of one or more of the following events:

            (i)   any willful act of personal dishonesty, fraud or
                  misrepresentation taken by Employee in connection with his
                  responsibilities as an employee which was intended to result
                  in Employee's substantial gain or personal enrichment at the
                  expense of TANTAU Software, Inc. or 724 Solutions, Inc.;

            (ii)  the conviction of Employee of a felony (other than
                  driving-related offenses), or the equivalent in a jurisdiction
                  other than the United States, on account of any act which was
                  materially injurious to Employer or any of its affiliates, or
                  the reputation of Employer or any of its affiliates, as
                  reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of 724
                  Solutions, Inc.;

            (iii) Employee's willful and continued failure to substantially
                  perform his principal duties and obligations of employment
                  (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to
                  physical or mental illness;

<PAGE>
                                      -9-

provided, that for purposes of this Section 5.07, no act or failure to act shall
be considered "willful" unless done or omitted to be done by Employee in bad
faith and without reasonable belief that the act or omission was in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Employer; provided, further, that Employer
shall not terminate Employee's employment under clause (iii) of this Section
5.07 unless Employer first gives notice of its intention to terminate and the
grounds for such termination, and Employee has not, within thirty (30) days
following receipt of such notice, cured such failure.

            SECTION 5.08 VOLUNTARY TERMINATION PERIOD. Employee may terminate
this Agreement upon giving of 12 weeks' prior notice to Employer (or such lesser
period of time as the parties may agree upon), in which case this Agreement
shall terminate at the expiration of such 12 week period without any other
notice or any payment of salary or benefit plan contributions subsequent to the
termination of this Agreement.

            SECTION 5.09 REPAYMENT OF BONUSES AND OTHER ADVANCES. Employee
agrees to permit 724 Solutions, Inc. or its affiliates to deduct the amount of
any advanced bonuses or other monies advanced to Employee during the Period of
Employment and so designated as advanced amounts, from any compensation due
Employee under this Article 5.

            SECTION 5.10 TREATMENT OF STOCK OPTIONS, RESTRICTED STOCK AND OTHER
SECURITIES. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, upon any
termination of Employee for any reason and whether for Cause or not, any
options, restricted stock or other securities held by Employee but subject to
vesting which is contingent upon continued employment with 724 Solutions, Inc.
or its affiliates shall be governed by the provisions of the applicable stock
plans and repurchase and award agreements including that certain side letter
between TANTAU Software, Inc., 724 Solutions, Inc. and Employee, dated the date
hereof (the "Side Letter") (it being understood that the treatment of
outstanding options to purchase TANTAU Software, Inc. common stock that are

the Merger Agreement shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the TANTAU
Software, Inc. 1999 Stock Plan and award agreements thereunder, as amended by
the Side Letter).

Solutions, Inc. and its affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, including any of
the foregoing that relates to the business of 724 Solutions, Inc. and its
affiliates or to any other business that 724 Solutions, Inc. or its affiliates

            SECTION 6.02 DISCLOSURE. Employee shall maintain adequate and
current written records, in the forms prescribed by 724 Solutions, Inc. and its
affiliates from time to time, on the development of all Inventions/Ideas and
shall disclose promptly to 724 Solutions, Inc. all Inventions/Ideas and relevant
records, which records will remain the sole property of 724 Solutions, Inc. and
its affiliates. Employee agrees that all information and records pertaining to
any idea, process, trademark, service mark, invention, technology, computer

others) during the Period of Employment (or during the post-employment period
set forth in Article 4.01 above), shall be disclosed promptly to 724 Solutions,
Inc. (such disclosure to be received in confidence). 724 Solutions, Inc. shall,
if it considers advisable and in any event without prejudice to 724 Solutions,
Inc.'s rights to claim ownership at a subsequent time, examine such information
to determine if in fact the Intellectual Property is an Invention/Idea subject
to this Agreement, but shall hold such information in the strictest confidence
and shall not use or disclose such information in any manner if it is determined
that the same is not an Invention/Idea subject to this Agreement.

            SECTION 6.03 Duties and Obligations of Employee re: Invention/Ideas.
Employee hereby agrees:

            (i)   not to disclose to any Person, unless expressly authorized by
                  724 Solutions, Inc. in writing, any technical, commercial, or
                  any confidential information relating to any said
                  Invention/Idea which is owned by or in the possession of 724
                  Solutions, Inc., TANTAU Software, Inc. or any of their related
                  corporations except as required by this Agreement; and

            (ii)  not to use said information for any personal purposes
                  whatsoever unless expressly authorized by 724 Solutions, Inc.
                  in writing.

            SECTION 6.04 ASSIGNMENT. Employee agrees to, and hereby does, assign

Solutions, Inc.), in and to each Invention/Idea, which shall be the sole
property of 724 Solutions, Inc., TANTAU Software, Inc. or any of their related
corporations, whether or not patentable. In the event any Invention/Idea is
deemed by 724 Solutions, Inc. to be patentable or otherwise registrable,
Employee shall assist 724 Solutions, Inc. (at its expense) in obtaining letters
patent or other applicable registrations thereon and shall execute all documents
and do all other things necessary or proper thereto (including testifying at 724
Solutions, Inc.'s expense) to vest 724 Solutions, Inc. or any Person specified
by 724 Solutions, Inc., with full and perfect title thereto or interest therein.
Employee shall also take any action necessary or advisable in connection with
any continuations, renewals, or reissues thereof or in any related proceedings
or litigation. Should 724 Solutions, Inc. be unable to secure Employee's
signature on any document necessary to apply for, prosecute, obtain, or enforce
any

<PAGE>
                                      -11-

patent, copyright, or other right or protection relating to any Invention/Idea,
whether due to Employee's mental or physical incapacity or any other cause,
Employee irrevocably designates and appoints 724 Solutions, Inc. and each of its
duly authorized officers and agents as Employee's agent and attorney-in-fact, to
act for and in Employee's behalf and stead and to execute and file any such
document, and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the
prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of such patents, copyrights, or other
rights or protections with the same force and effect as if executed, delivered,
and/or done by Employee.

            SECTION 6.05 EXCLUSIONS. Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.05,
Employee represents that there are no Inventions/Ideas that he desires to
exclude from the operation of this Agreement. To the best of Employee's
knowledge, there is no existing contract in conflict with this Agreement and
there is no contract to assign any Intellectual Property that is now in
existence between Employee and any Person other than TANTAU Software, Inc..

            SECTION 6.06 MORAL RIGHTS. Employee expressly waives all moral
rights that he has or may have in connection with any Invention/Ideas or any
other work related to the projects covered by this Agreement in favour of 724
Solutions, Inc. or any related corporation.

                                    ARTICLE 7
                    PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

            SECTION 7.01 DEFINED. "Proprietary Information" means all
information and any idea in whatever form, tangible or intangible, pertaining in
any manner to the business of either 724 Solutions, Inc., TANTAU Software, Inc.
or any of their related corporations, or its employees, clients, consultants, or
business associates, which was produced by any employee of 724 Solutions, Inc.,
TANTAU Software, Inc. or any of their affiliates in the course of his employment
or otherwise produced or acquired by or on behalf of 724 Solutions, Inc. or its
affiliates. All Proprietary Information not generally known outside of 724
Solutions, Inc.'s organization, and all Proprietary Information so known only
through improper means, shall be deemed "Confidential Information". Proprietary
Information and Confidential Information shall not include information which
becomes generally known by or available to the public, except to the extent such
information becomes so known or available as (i) a result of a breach of this
Agreement by Employee or (ii) a breach of statutory, fiduciary or contractual
obligations owed to 724 Solutions, Inc. or TANTAU Software, Inc. or any of their
affiliates by any other person, provided that 724 Solutions, Inc., TANTAU
Software, Inc. or any of its affiliates is actively asserting, through public
action or through means specifically know to the Employee, the protection of its
interest in such information. Without limiting the foregoing definition,
Proprietary and Confidential Information shall include, but not be limited to:

computer programs, electronic codes, inventions, improvements, and research
projects; (ii) information about costs, profits, markets, sales, and lists of
customers or clients; (iii) business, marketing, and strategic plans; and (iv)
employee personnel files and compensation information. Employee should consult
any 724 Solutions, Inc. procedures instituted to identify and protect certain
types of Confidential Information, which are considered by 724 Solutions, Inc.
to be safeguards in addition to the protection provided by this Agreement.
Nothing contained in those procedures or in this Agreement is intended to limit
the effect of the other.

            SECTION 7.02 GENERAL RESTRICTIONS ON USE. During the Period of
Employment, Employee shall use Proprietary Information, and shall disclose
Confidential Information, only for the benefit of 724 Solutions, Inc. and as is
necessary to carry out his responsibilities under this Agreement. Following
termination, Employee shall neither, directly or indirectly, use any Proprietary
Information nor disclose any Confidential Information, except as expressly and
specifically authorized in writing by 724 Solutions, Inc. or as required by the
order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The publication of any Proprietary
Information through literature or speeches must be approved in advance in
writing by 724 Solutions, Inc..

            SECTION 7.03 LOCATION AND REPRODUCTION. Employee shall maintain at
his work station and/or any other place under his control only such Confidential
Information as he has a current "need to know". Employee shall return to the
appropriate person or location or otherwise properly dispose of Confidential
Information once that need to know no longer exists. Employee shall not make
copies of or otherwise reproduce Confidential Information unless there is a
legitimate business need for reproduction.

            SECTION 7.04 PRIOR ACTIONS AND KNOWLEDGE. Employee represents and
warrants that from June 13, 2000, he has held in strict confidence all
Confidential Information (for purposes of this Section 7.04, "Confidential
Information" shall have the definition set forth in that certain Mutual
Non-Disclosure Agreement between TANTAU Software, Inc. and 724 Solutions, Inc.
dated June 13, 2000) and has not disclosed any Confidential Information,
directly or indirectly, to anyone outside of 724 Solutions, Inc. and its
affiliates (with the exception of TANTAU Software, Inc. and its respective
legal, accounting and financial advisors), or used, copied, published, or
summarized any Confidential Information, except to the extent otherwise
permitted in this Agreement and as may have been disclosed to legal, accounting
and financial advisers during negotiations of the Merger Agreement.

            SECTION 7.05 THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION. Employee acknowledges that 724
Solutions, Inc. and its affiliates have received and in the future will receive
from third parties their confidential information subject to a duty on 724
Solutions, Inc.'s part to maintain the confidentiality of this information and
to use it only for certain limited purposes. Employee agrees that he owes 724
Solutions, Inc. and these third parties, during the Period of Employment and
thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential information in the strictest
confidence and not to disclose or use it, except as necessary to perform his
obligations hereunder and as is consistent with 724 Solutions, Inc.'s agreement
with such third parties.

            SECTION 7.06 CONFLICTING OBLIGATIONS. Employee represents and
warrants that his execution of this Agreement, his employment with Employer, and
the performance of his proposed duties under this Agreement will not violate any
obligations he may have to any former employer (or other person or entity),
including any obligations with respect to proprietary or confidential
information of any other person or entity; provided however, that Employee's
continued employment by TANTAU Software, Inc. between the date of this Agreement
and the Closing Date shall not violate this Section 7.06.

                                    ARTICLE 8
                         RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON BREACH

            SECTION 8.01 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If Employee breaches any of the
covenants contained in Article 4 on Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation,
Article 6 on Inventions and Ideas or Article 7 on Proprietary Information, or
any other covenants contained herein (collectively, the "Restrictive
Covenants"), the parties acknowledge and agree that the damage or imminent
damage to 724 Solutions, Inc.'s (or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates and
related entities) business or their goodwill would be irreparable and extremely
difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Both
parties further acknowledge that 724 Solutions, Inc. considers the services of
Employee to be provided under this Agreement to be unique, extraordinary, and/or
of intellectual character. Accordingly, 724 Solutions, Inc. shall have the
following rights and remedies, in addition to any other relief (including
damages) available to 724 Solutions, Inc. under this Agreement or under law each
of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the other and severally
enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in addition to and
not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to 724 Solutions, Inc.
under law or equity:

      (a)   INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. 724 Solutions, Inc. shall be entitled to
            injunctive relief against Employee in the event of any breach or
            threatened breach of the above provisions by Employee.

      (b)   SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The right and remedy to have Restrictive
            Covenants specifically enforced by any court having equity
            jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach
            or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to 724 Solutions,
            Inc. and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to
            724 Solutions, Inc..

      (c)   ACCOUNTING. 724 Solutions, Inc. shall have the right and remedy to
            require Employee to account for and pay over to 724 Solutions, Inc.
            all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other
            benefits (collectively, "Benefits") derived or received by Employee
            as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of
            the Restrictive Covenants.

                                    ARTICLE 9
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

            SECTION 9.01 NOTICES. Any notice or other communication under this
Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery by hand or
upon facsimile transmission to a party (but only upon receipt by such party of a
written confirmation of receipt), or three (3) business days after deposit in
the national mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered, and addressed to
724 Solutions, Inc. or to Employee at the corresponding address or fax number
(if any) below. Employee shall be obligated to notify 724 Solutions, Inc. in
writing of any change in his address. Notice of change of address shall be
effective only when done in accordance with this Section.

            SECTION 9.02 INVALIDITY AND SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this
Agreement, or its application to any person, place, or circumstance, is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, such
provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law, and the
remainder of this Agreement and such provision as applied to other persons,
places, and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.

            SECTION 9.03 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Employee agrees (at 724 Solutions,
Inc.'s expense) to do such acts and execute such further documents, conveyances,
deeds, assignments, transfers and the like, and will cause the doing of such
acts and will cause the execution of such further documents as are within
Employee's power as 724 Solutions, Inc. may in writing at any time and from time
to time reasonably request be done and or executed, in order to give full effect
to the provisions of this Agreement.

            SECTION 9.04 WAIVER OF RIGHTS. Any waiver of, or consent to depart
from, the requirements of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective
only if it is in writing and signed by the party giving it, and only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it has been given. No
failure on the part of either party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right. No single or
partial exercise of any such right shall preclude any other or further exercise
of such right or the exercise of any other right.

            SECTION 9.05 AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. This Agreement may not be amended
except by an instrument in writing, signed by Employee and the Chairman of 724
Solutions, Inc. or his designated representative. No failure to exercise and no
delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, remedy, or power under this Agreement preclude any other or further
exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, remedy, or power provided
herein or by law or in equity.

            SECTION 9.06 ASSIGNMENT. Employee acknowledges that 724 Solutions,
Inc. and Employer may assign this Agreement and the benefits of Employee's
covenants and obligations under this Agreement to any Person who purchases all
or substantially all of the assets of the 724 Solutions, Inc. or Employer. In
addition, this Agreement and the rights and obligations of 724 Solutions, Inc.
and Employer may be assigned at any time by 724 Solutions, Inc. or Employer to a
related corporation of 724 Solutions, Inc.. Subject to the foregoing, neither
this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder shall be assignable by
any party without the prior written consent of the other party and any such
purported assignment shall be void. Subject thereto, this Agreement shall enure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, legal personal representatives, successors (including
any successor by reason of amalgamation or statutory arrangement of any party)
and permitted assigns.

            SECTION 9.07 GOVERNING LAW; VENUE. This Agreement, its construction,
and the determination of any rights, duties or remedies of the parties arising
out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its
principles of conflict of laws. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, the parties agree that if the Employer or any of its affiliates
brings an action (the

<PAGE>
                                      -15-

"New York Action") in any state or federal court sitting in the State of New
York to enforce any of the covenants contained in Article 4 on Non-Competition
and Non-Solicitation, the Employee shall not bring an action to challenge the
holding or resolution of the New York Action in any court sitting outside of the
State of New York. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the
aggrieved party may select the jurisdiction and/or venue in which disputes
arising under this Agreement shall be heard.

            SECTION 9.08 ENFORCEABILITY IN JURISDICTION. The parties intend to
and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the
courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of the Restrictive
Covenants. If the court of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the
Restrictive Covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such
scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties that such determination
not bar or in any way affect 724 Solutions, Inc.'s right to the relief provided
above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of
the Restrictive Covenants, as to breaches of the Restrictive Covenants in such
other respective jurisdictions, the Restrictive Covenants as they relate to each
jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent
covenants.

            SECTION 9.09 EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Employee acknowledges that he
has had the opportunity to consult legal counsel in regard to this Agreement,
that he has read and understands this Agreement, that he agrees that the
Restrictive Covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary,
that he is fully aware of his legal effect, and that he has entered into it
freely and voluntarily and based on his own judgment and not on any
representations or promises other than those contained in this Agreement.

            SECTION 9.10 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the schedules
hereto, the TANTAU Software, Inc. 1999 Stock Plan, the Side Letter, the
Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement and the Proprietary Information and
Inventions Agreement constitute the entire Agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
negotiations, discussions and understandings, written or oral, between them,
provided that this Agreement shall supercede the provisions of the
Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement and the Proprietary Information and
Inventions Agreement solely to the extent inconsistent therewith.

Agreement as of the date first written above.

            SECTION 9.12 HEADINGS. The headings in this Agreement are for

      Your vacation accrual factor is an hourly equivalent of the full time
      annual vacation accrual. For example, a new employee starts with 120 hours
      (3 weeks) of vacation in their first fiscal year. The vacation accrual
      factor for this person is 120/2080 (52 weeks X 40 hours) or 0.057692.

      You are awarded vacation accruals based on your length of service with the
      company and the number of hours worked each pay period. The time
      categories listed below count towards your vacation service hours:

            - Regular

            - Floating Holiday

            - Funeral Leave

            - Company Holiday

            - Jury Duty

<PAGE>
                                      -2-

            - Military Duty

            - Paid Time Off

            - Scheduled Overtime (Non exempt only)

            - Vacation

      For each hour of regular, floating holiday, funeral leave, etc you are
      paid during the pay period, you receive one hour towards your vacation
      service hours.

      Once the payroll system has the total vacation service hours for the pay
      period, a factor (based on the employee's length of service) is applied to
      the total vacation service hours to come up with the vacation accrual for
      the pay period. Here are the factors:

            Months of Service       Factor per Vacation Service Hour

            <S>                     <C>
            0 - 35                  .057692

            36 - 47                 .061538

            48 - 59                 .065384

            60 - 71                 .069230

            72 - 83                 .073076

            84 - 95                 .076923

            96 - 107                .080769

            108 - 119               .084615

            120 - 131               .088461

            132 - 143               .092307

            144 +                   .096153
</TABLE>

      So, for example, if the total of regular and PTO hours for a pay period
      equals 80, and the person has been with the company for 37 months, they
      would accrue 4.923 (80 X .061538) hours of vacation for this pay period.
      If the same person only works 60 regular and PTO hours for the pay period,
      they would accrue 3.692 (60 X .061538) hours of vacation for this pay
      period. If the person was on Short Term Disability for the entire pay
      period, they would not accrue vacation because Short Term Disability does
      not count towards vacation service hours.

      HOURS THAT DO NOT COUNT TOWARDS VACATION SERVICE HOURS

      Not all hours count towards vacation service hours. The following
      categories do not count towards vacation service hours:

            - FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act leave)

            - Long Term Disability

            - On Call

            - Personal Business Days

            - Personal Leave

            - Short Term Disability

            - Severance

            - Overtime worked by Exempt Employees

            - Worker's Compensation

      YEAR TO YEAR CARRY OVER

      Vacation earned during a calendar year must be taken during that calendar
      year. There will be no carry over from one year to the next. Any vacation
      that is unused at the end of a year will be forfeited.

      TAKING VACATION AHEAD OF EARNING VACATION HOURS

      Employees will be allowed to use vacation hours ahead of earning those
      hours, but the resulting negative balance cannot exceed the number of
      hours that would be accrued in the remainder of the calendar year or 40
      hours whichever is lower.]

"Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note" attached thereto). Notes
issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the

Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified
therein and each shall provide that it shall represent 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 shall be made by the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the
direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder
thereof as required by Section 2.08 hereof.

          (b) EUROCLEAR AND CLEARSTREAM PROCEDURES APPLICABLE.

          The provisions of the "Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System"

<Page>

beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes that are held by
Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

          Section 2.04. EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION. An Officer shall sign the
Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

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

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

          The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by an
Officer (an "AUTHENTICATION ORDER"), authenticate Notes for original issue up to
the aggregate principal amount stated in paragraph 4 of the Notes. The aggregate
principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed such amount
except as provided in Section 2.09 hereof.

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

includes any co-registrar and the term "Paying Agent" includes any additional
paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company
fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the
Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as
Paying Agent or Registrar.

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

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

          Section 2.06. PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST. The Company shall
require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the
Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all
money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or
Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the
Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such
default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held
by it to the

                                       21
<Page>

Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent
(if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for
the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall
segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all
money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization
proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for
the Notes.

          Section 2.07. HOLDER LISTS. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a
form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the
names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section.
312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at
such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and
as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses
of the Holders and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA Section. 312(a).

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 (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that
it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no
longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case,
a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the
date of such notice from the Depositary, (ii) the Company in its sole discretion
determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged
for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee
or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of
Default with respect to the Notes. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding
events in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such
names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be
exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.09 and
2.12 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu
of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.08 or
Section 2.09 or 2.12 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 2.08(a), however, beneficial
interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in
Section 2.08(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 shall be
effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted
Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those
set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of
beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with
either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of
the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

          (i) TRANSFER OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN THE SAME GLOBAL NOTE.

     (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

     to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.08(b)(i).

          (ii) ALL OTHER TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN
     GLOBAL NOTES. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial
     interests that are not subject to Section 2.08(b)(i) above, the transferor
     of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) a
     written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the
     Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the
     Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in

     transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the
     Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant
     account to be credited with such increase or (B) (1) a written order from a
     Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in

     deemed to have been satisfied upon receipt by the Registrar of the

     adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to
     Section 2.08(h) hereof.

          (iii) TRANSFER OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS TO ANOTHER RESTRICTED GLOBAL
     NOTE. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be

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

                    transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit
                    B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof;

     GLOBAL NOTE FOR BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN AN UNRESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTE. A
     beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any
     holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an 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

                    in the case of a transfer, certifies in the applicable

                        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

          SECURITIES ACT) OR (B) IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THIS
          SECURITY IN AN "OFFSHORE TRANSACTION" PURSUANT TO RULE 904 OF
          REGULATIONS, (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT PRIOR TO (X) THE DATE WHICH
          IS TWO YEARS (OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE

          DATE"), OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY EXCEPT (A) TO
          SIX FLAGS, INC., (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS
          BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) FOR SO LONG AS
          THE SECURITIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, TO A
          PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" AS
          DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS
          OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO
          WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON
          RULE 144A, (D) PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES TO NON-U.S. PERSONS THAT

          EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND
          (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS
          TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND;
          PROVIDED THAT SIX FLAGS, INC. AND THE TRUSTEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT
          PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER (1) PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (D)
          OR (E) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION
          AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM AND (II) IN EACH
          OF THE FOREGOING CASES, TO REQUIRE THAT A CERTIFICATION OR TRANSFER IN
          THE FORM APPEARING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS SECURITY IS COMPLETED AND
          DELIVERED BY THE TRANSFEROR TO THE TRUSTEE. THIS LEGEND WILL BE
          REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION
          TERMINATION DATE. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS "OFFSHORE TRANSACTION,"
          "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY
          REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

               (B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or Definitive
          Note issued pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(iv), (c)(ii), (c)(iii),
          (d)(ii), (d)(iii), (e)(ii), (e)(iii) or (f) of this Section 2.08 (and
          all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall
          not bear the Private Placement Legend.

          (ii) GLOBAL NOTE LEGEND. Each Global Note shall bear a legend in
     substantially the following form:

          UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN
          DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A
          WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, OR BY ANY SUCH
          NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR NOMINEE OF A
          SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY, OR ANY NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A
          NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. TRANSFERS OF THE GLOBAL SECURITY
          SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES
          OF CEDE & CO., OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR'S NOMINEE,
          AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THE GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO
          TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE
          INDENTURE

          UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE
          OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO
          THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR
          PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE
          & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
          REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO

                                       33
<Page>

          CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
          REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR
          VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE
          REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

          (h) CANCELLATION AND/OR ADJUSTMENT OF GLOBAL NOTES.

          At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note
have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been
redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global
Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance
with Section 2.13 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any
beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person
who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another
Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented
by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be
made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of
the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being
exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note
shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global
Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to
reflect such increase.

          (i) GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES.

          (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company
     shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and
     Definitive Notes upon the Company's order.

          (ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial
     interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any
     registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment
     of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental
     charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes
     or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant
     to Sections 2.12, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05).

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

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

          (v) The Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the
     transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the
     opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for
     redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and

                                       34
<Page>

     ending at the close of business on the day of selection or (B) to register
     the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole
     or in part.

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

          (vii) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes
     in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04 hereof.

          (viii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel
     required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.08 to
     effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by
     facsimile.

          Section 2.09. REPLACEMENT NOTES. If any mutilated Note is surrendered
to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall
issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall
authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee's requirements are met. If
required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by
the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to
protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from
any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may
charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

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

          Section 2.10. OUTSTANDING NOTES. The Notes outstanding at any time are
all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it,
those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a
Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof,
and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in
Section 2.11 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company
or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the
Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for
purposes of Section 3.07(b) hereof.

          If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Note is held by a bonafide purchaser.

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

          If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money
sufficient to pay Notes payable on

                                       35
<Page>

that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no
longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

          Section 2.11. TREASURY NOTES. In determining whether the Holders of
the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver
or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the
Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the
purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any
such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

          Section 2.12. TEMPORARY NOTES. Until certificates representing Notes
are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of
an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes
shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations
that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company
shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange
for temporary Notes.

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

          Section 2.13. CANCELLATION. The Company at any time may deliver Notes
to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to
the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange
or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and
shall dispose of such canceled Notes (subject to the record retention
requirement of the Exchange Act in its customary manner). The Company may not
issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation.

          Section 2.14. DEFAULTED INTEREST. If the Company defaults in a payment
of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful
manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest,
to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case
at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be
paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or
cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that
no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related
payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special
record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be
mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related
payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

          Section 2.15. CUSIP NUMBERS.

          The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices
of redemption as a

                                       36
<Page>

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

                                   ARTICLE III
                            REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

          Section 3.01. NOTICES TO TRUSTEE. If the Company elects to redeem
Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it
shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 60 days before a redemption date, an
Officers' Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to
which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal
amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

          Section 3.02. SELECTION OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED. If less than all of
the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time,
the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders
of the Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal national
securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are
not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other
method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate; PROVIDED that no Notes of
$1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. In the event of partial redemption by
lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise
provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption
date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for
redemption.

          The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of
Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000;
except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire
outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of
$1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence,
provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also
apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

          Section 3.03. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Subject to the provisions of
Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a
redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class
mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at
its registered address.

          The notice shall identify the Notes (including CUSIP numbers) to be
redeemed and shall state:

          (a) the redemption date;

          (b) the redemption price;

                                       37
<Page>

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

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

          (e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying
Agent to collect the redemption price;

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

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

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

          At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 60 days prior to the
redemption date, an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such
notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided
in the preceding paragraph.

          Section 3.04. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Once notice of
redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for
redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the
redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

          Section 3.05. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. One Business Day prior to
the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and, if applicable,
accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the
Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the
Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to
pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.

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

                                       38
<Page>

          Section 3.06. NOTES REDEEMED IN PART. Upon surrender of a Note that is
redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company's written
request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the
Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the
Note surrendered.

          Section 3.07. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. (a) Except as set forth in clause
(b) of this Section 3.07, the Company shall not have the option to redeem the
Notes pursuant to this Section 3.07 prior to February 1, 2006. On or after
February 1, 2006, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes upon not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the
twelve-month period beginning on February 1 of the years indicated below:

<S>                                                                 <C>

</Table>

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to February 1,
2005, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any)
originally issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 108.875% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption
date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings and/or
the net cash proceeds of a Strategic Equity Investment; PROVIDED that (i) at
least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (which includes Additional
Notes, if any) originally issued remains outstanding immediately after the
occurrence of each such redemption (excluding the Notes held by the Company and
its Subsidiaries); and (ii) any such redemption shall occur within 60 days of
the date of the closing of each such Public Equity Offering and/or Strategic
Equity Investment.

          (c) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

          (d) If the optional redemption date is on or after an interest record
date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is
registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional
interest will be payable to holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by
the Company.

          Section 3.08. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. Except as set forth in Sections
4.10 and 4.15, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

          Section 3.09. OFFER TO PURCHASE BY APPLICATION OF EXCESS PROCEEDS. In
the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company shall be required
to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an "Asset Sale Offer"),
it shall follow the procedures specified below.

                                       39
<Page>

          The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business
Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a
longer period is required by applicable law (the "Offer Period"). No later than
five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the "Purchase
Date"), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be
purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof (the "Offer Amount") or, if less than
the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset
Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner
as interest payments are made.

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

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

          (a) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section
     3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer
     shall remain open;

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

          (c) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue
     to accrue interest;

          (d) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note
     accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue
     interest after the Purchase Date;

          (e) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an
     Asset Sale Offer may only elect to have all of such Note purchased and may
     not elect to have only a portion of such Note purchased;

          (f) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any
     Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form
     entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note
     completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a
     Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a paying agent at the address
     specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

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

                                       40
<Page>

          (h) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by
     Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes to be
     purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed
     appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000,
     or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased); and

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

          On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent
lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the
Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered,
and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such
Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance
with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the paying
agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five
days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount
equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by
the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and
the Trustee, upon written request from the Company shall authenticate and mail
or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any
unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be
promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company
shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase
Date.

          Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase
pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                    COVENANTS

          Section 4.01. PAYMENT OF NOTES. The Company shall pay or cause to be
paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates
and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and
interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other
than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on
the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and
designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and
interest then due.

          The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in
any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal
to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to
the extent lawful; if applicable, it shall pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of
interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the
extent lawful.

          Section 4.02. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Company shall
maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency
(which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar
or co-registrar) where Notes may be

                                       41
<Page>

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

          The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies 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 shall give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any
change in the location of any such other office or agency.

          The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section
2.05.

          Section 4.03. REPORTS. Whether or not required by the rules and
regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall
furnish to the Holders and the Trustee (i) all quarterly and annual financial
information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on
Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such forms, including a
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" that describes the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries (showing in reasonable detail,
either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto and
in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of
operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company) and, with respect to
the annual information only, a report thereon by the Company's certified
independent accountants and (ii) all current reports that would be required to
be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such
reports, in each case, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
regulations. In addition, whether or not required by the rules and regulations
of the SEC, the Company shall file a copy of all of the information and reports
referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) with the SEC for public availability within
the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations (unless the SEC
will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities
analysts and prospective investors upon request. The Company shall at all times
comply with TIA Section 314(a). Delivery of such reports, information and
documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's
receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information
contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including
the Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).

          Section 4.04. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE. (a) The Company shall deliver to
the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers'
Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its
Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the
supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the

                                       42
<Page>

Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this
Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such
certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this
Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default
of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her
knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which
payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is
prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what
action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

          (b) So long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.03 shall be accompanied by a written
statement of the Company's independent public accountants (who shall be a firm
of established national reputation) that in connection with the audit for
certification of such financial statements contained in such reports, nothing
has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has
failed to comply with any provisions of Article 4 or Article 5 hereof insofar as
the provisions relate to accounting matters or, if any such violation has
occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being
understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to
any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

          (c) The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding,
deliver to the Trustee, forthwith and in any event within five days upon any
Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default or an event which,
with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default,
an Officers' Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what
action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

          Section 4.05. TAXES. The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of
its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments,
and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not
adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

          Section 4.06. STAY, EXTENSION AND USURY LAWS. The Company covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist
upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage
of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of
any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law,
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law has been enacted.

          Section 4.07. RESTRICTED PAYMENTS. The Company shall not, and shall
not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: (i)
declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account
of any Equity Interests of the Company (including, without limitation, any
payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) or
to the direct or indirect holders of any Equity Interests of the

                                       43
<Page>

Company in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable
in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company); (ii)
purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without
limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the
Company) any Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of
the Company; (iii) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem,
defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness that is
subordinated to the Notes, except a payment of interest or principal at Stated
Maturity; or (iv) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other
actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred
to as "Restricted Payments"), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to
such Restricted Payment:

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

          (b) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and
after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been
made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted
to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to Cash
Flow test set forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.09 hereof; and

          (c) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all
other Restricted Payments declared or made after the Issue Date (excluding
Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (ii) and (iii) of the next succeeding
paragraph) shall not exceed, at the date of determination, the sum, without
duplication, of (A) an amount equal to the Company's Consolidated Cash Flow for
the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first
fiscal quarter commencing after June 30, 1999 to the end of the Company's most
recently ended full fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been
filed with the SEC (the "Basket Period") less the product of 1.4 times the
Company's Consolidated Interest Expense for the Basket Period, plus (B) 100% of
the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company after June 30, 1999 as a
contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity
Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or
sale after June 30, 1999 of Disqualified Stock or debt securities of the Company
that have been converted into Equity Interests (other than (x) Equity Interests,
Disqualified Stock or convertible debt securities sold to a Subsidiary of the
Company and (y) any sale of Equity Interests of the Company the net cash
proceeds of which are applied pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately
succeeding paragraph), plus (C) to the extent that any Restricted Investment
that was made after the Issue Date is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or
repaid for cash, the lesser of (x) the cash return of capital with respect to
such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (y) the
initial amount of such Restricted Investment, plus (D) to the extent that any
Unrestricted Subsidiary is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the
Issue Date, the fair market value of the Company's or its Restricted
Subsidiary's, as the case may be, Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date
of such redesignation.

          The preceding provisions shall not prohibit: (i) the payment of any
dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the date of
declaration the payment would have complied with the provisions of this
Indenture; (ii) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other
acquisition of any subordinated Indebtedness or Equity Interests of the Company
in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent

                                       44
<Page>

sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the
Company (other than Disqualified Stock); PROVIDED that the amount of any such
net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase,
retirement, defeasance or other acquisition shall be excluded from clause (c)(B)
of the preceding paragraph; (iii) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or
other acquisition of subordinated Indebtedness with the net cash proceeds from
an incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; (iv) so long as no Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result
therefrom), the purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of partnership interests
held by the partners in the limited partners of the Co-Venture Partnerships, the
co-general partner of the Co-Venture Partnerships or, in each case, their
successors, in accordance with and in the manner required or permitted by the
terms of the Partnership Parks Agreements; (v) so long as no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom), any
transactions pursuant to or contemplated by, and payments made in connection
with, and in accordance with the terms of, the Partnership Parks Agreements and
the Marine World Agreements; (vi) so long as no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom), any
transactions pursuant to or contemplated by, and payments made in connection
with, and in accordance with the terms of, the Subordinated Indemnity Agreement;
(vii) in the event the Company issues common stock in exchange for or upon
conversion of PIERS (or Convertible Preferred Stock underlying the PIERS), cash
payments made in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares of common stock, not
to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year; (viii) the repurchase,
redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests
of the Company from employees, former employees, directors or former directors
of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or permitted transferees
of such employees, former employees, directors or former directors); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the aggregate amount of such repurchases shall not exceed $5.0
million in any twelve-month period; and (ix) so long as no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom), the
payment of dividends on the PIERS (or the underlying Convertible Preferred
Stock) or the redemption of the then outstanding PIERS (or the underlying
Convertible Preferred Stock) on August 15, 2009, in each case in accordance with
the terms thereof as in effect on the date of this Indenture.

          The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the
fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or
securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair
market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this
Section 4.07 shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company whose
resolution with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Board of
Directors' determination shall be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by
an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if such
fair market value exceeds $10.0 million. Not later than the date of making any
Restricted Payment (other than any Restricted Payment permitted pursuant to
clause (i) through (ix) of the immediately preceding paragraph), the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such
Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the
calculations required by this Section 4.07 were computed, together with a copy
of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by this Indenture.

                                       45
<Page>

          The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be
an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such designation would not cause a Default;
PROVIDED that in no event shall the business currently operated by Six Flags
Operations Inc. or Six Flags Theme Parks Inc. be transferred to or held by any
Unrestricted Subsidiary. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid in cash) in the
Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time of
such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments
under the first paragraph of this Section 4.07. All such outstanding Investments
will be valued at their fair market value at the time of such designation. That
designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payment would be permitted
at such time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of
an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

          Section 4.08. DIVIDEND AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING
SUBSIDIARIES. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to
exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any
Restricted Subsidiary to (i)(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions to
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock or with
respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits,
or (b) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries or (iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. However, the preceding
restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by
reason of (1) Existing Indebtedness and Indebtedness under Credit Facilities and
any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements,
refundings, replacements or refinancings of Existing Indebtedness and
Indebtedness under Credit Facilities, PROVIDED that such amendments,
modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with
respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in
the agreements governing the Existing Indebtedness and Indebtedness under Credit
Facilities on the date of this Indenture, (2) the Partnership Parks Agreements,
the Marine World Agreements or the Subordinated Indemnity Agreement, (3) the
terms of any Indebtedness permitted by this Indenture to be incurred by any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, (4) this Indenture and the Notes, (5)
applicable law, (6) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a
Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in
effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness
was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which
encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or
assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the
Person, so acquired, PROVIDED that, in the case of Indebtedness, such
Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred, (7)
customary non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses or other contracts
entered into in the ordinary course of business, (8) purchase money obligations
for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose
restrictions of the nature described in clause (iii) above on the property so
acquired, (9) any agreement for the sale of a Restricted Subsidiary that
restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale, (10)
obligations otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4.12 that limit the right of the obligee to dispose of the assets
securing such obligations, (11) provisions with respect to the disposition or
distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements

                                       46
<Page>

and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and
(12) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers
under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

          Section 4.09. INCURRENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED
STOCK. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee
or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise,
with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired
Debt), and the Company shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred
stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including
Acquired Debt) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock and the Company's
Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or
issue shares of preferred stock if the Company's Debt to Cash Flow Ratio at the
time of incurrence of such Indebtedness or the issuance of such Disqualified
Stock or such preferred stock, as the case may be, after giving pro forma effect
to such incurrence or issuance as of such date and to the use of the proceeds
therefrom as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the most recently
ended four full fiscal quarter period of the Company for which financial
statements have been furnished or are required to be furnished to Holders of the
Notes in reports pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof, would have been no greater
than 6.0 to 1.

          The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness that is contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company unless
such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the
Notes on substantially identical terms; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Indebtedness
of the Company shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of
payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by virtue of being
unsecured.

          The first paragraph of this Section 4.09 will not apply to the
incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively,
"Permitted Debt"):

          (i) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of
     additional Indebtedness under Credit Facilities, in an amount up to $1.5
     billion;

          (ii) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of
     additional revolving credit Indebtedness and letters of credit pursuant to
     Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount (with letters of credit
     being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential
     liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) at any
     one time outstanding not to exceed the Specified Amount as of such date of
     incurrence; PROVIDED that the aggregate principal amount of all
     Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (ii) is reduced to an
     outstanding balance of $1.0 million or less for at least 30 consecutive
     days in each fiscal year;

          (iii) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of
     the Existing Indebtedness;

          (iv) the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness represented by the
     Notes (other than any Additional Notes);

                                       47
<Page>

          (v) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations,
     mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case incurred
     for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost
     of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the
     business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate
     principal amount not to exceed $50.0 million at any time outstanding;

          (vi) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the
     net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness
     (other than intercompany Indebtedness and Indebtedness incurred pursuant to
     clauses (i) and (ii) above) that was permitted by this Indenture to be
     incurred;

          (vii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and
     any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (a) if the
     Company is the obligor on any such intercompany Indebtedness, such
     Indebtedness is, if any Default or Event of Default with respect to the
     Company occurs and is continuing, expressly subordinated to the prior
     payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes and
     (b)(1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results
     in any such intercompany Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the
     Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof and (2) any sale or other
     transfer of any such intercompany Indebtedness to a Person that is not
     either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company shall be
     deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such intercompany
     Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
     be, that was not permitted by this clause (vii);

          (viii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of (a) Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose
     of fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any floating rate
     Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be
     incurred and (b) Currency Agreements that do not increase the Indebtedness
     of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding at any time
     other than as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates
     or interest rates or by reason of fees, indemnities and compensation
     payable thereunder;

          (ix) Indebtedness in respect of performance bonds, letters of credits,
     surety or appeal bonds, prior to any drawing thereunder, for or in
     connection with pledges, deposits or payments made or given in the ordinary
     course of business;

          (x) the guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
     that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09
     (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the guarantee
     by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Existing
     Indebtedness);

          (xi) the incurrence by the Company's Unrestricted Subsidiaries of
     Non-Recourse Debt, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any such Indebtedness ceases
     to be Non-Recourse Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such event shall be
     deemed to constitute an incurrence of

                                       48
<Page>

     Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was not
     permitted by this clause (xi); and

          (xii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount
     (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all
     Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace
     any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xii), not to exceed
     $100.0 million.

          For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the
event that an item of Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the criteria
of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i)
through (xii) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first
paragraph of this Section 4.09, the Company shall, in its sole discretion,
classify (or later reclassify in whole or in part, in its sole discretion) such
item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. Accrual
of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment
of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the
same terms, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock in the form of
additional shares of the same class of preferred stock will not be deemed to be
an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock for purposes of
this Section 4.09; PROVIDED, in each such case, that the amount thereof is
included in Consolidated Indebtedness of the Company as accrued.

          Section 4.10. ASSET SALES. The Company shall not, and shall not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to consummate an Asset Sale unless (i) the
Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives
consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market
value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary, of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or
otherwise disposed of and (ii) at least 75% of the consideration therefor
received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or
Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this Section 4.10 each of the following shall
be deemed to be cash: (a) any liabilities (as shown on the Company's or such
Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet) of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that
are by their terms subordinate to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee
of any such assets that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from
further liability or, in the case of the sale of Capital Stock, that are assumed
by the transferee by operation of law and (b) any securities, notes or other
obligations received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such
transferee that are promptly (subject to ordinary settlement periods) converted
by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the
cash received in that conversion).

          Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale
without complying with such paragraph if (1) the Company or the applicable
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of
that Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or other
property sold, issued or otherwise disposed of (as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary)
and (2) at least 75% of the consideration of that Asset Sale constitutes assets
or other property of a kind usable by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries
in the business of the Company and its Restricted

                                       49
<Page>

Subsidiaries as conducted by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries on the
date of this Indenture; PROVIDED that any consideration not constituting assets
or property of a kind usable by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in
the business conducted by them on the date of this Indenture and received by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any Asset Sale
permitted to be consummated under this paragraph will constitute Net Proceeds
subject to the provisions of the two succeeding paragraphs.

          Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset
Sale, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net
Proceeds (i) to repay Senior Debt and, if Senior Debt repaid is revolving credit
Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, (ii)
to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the
Voting Stock of, another Person (or business unit or division of such Person);
PROVIDED that the primary business of such Person (or unit or division) is a
Permitted Business, (iii) to fund obligations of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary under the Partnership Parks Agreements or the Subordinated Indemnity
Agreement, (iv) to acquire Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company held by Persons other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, (v)
to make a capital expenditure, (vi) to acquire other long-term assets that are
used or useful in a Permitted Business or (vii) to commit to undertake any of
the actions specified in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) above, PROVIDED
that such action is consummated within 90 days from the end of such 365-day
period. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or
otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this
Indenture.

          Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as
provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the
aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Company will be
required to make an offer to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness
of the Company that is PARI PASSU with the Notes containing provisions similar
to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or
redemptions with the proceeds of sales of assets (an "Asset Sale Offer") to
purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other PARI PASSU
Indebtedness of the Company that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds.
The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of
repurchase and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after
consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds
for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and such other Indebtedness tendered into such Asset
Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the
Notes and such other Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon
completion of such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be
reset at zero.

          The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the
repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer.

          To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, the Company will comply
with the applicable securities laws and

                                       50
<Page>

regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
covenant by virtue thereof.

          Section 4.11. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. The Company shall not, and
shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or
sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets
to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any
transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee
with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"),
unless (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to
the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have
been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary with an unrelated Person and (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee
(a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $2.5 million, a
resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate
certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above and
that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors and (b) with respect to any
Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, an opinion as to the
fairness to the Holders of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of
view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national
standing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following items shall not be deemed
to be Affiliate Transactions: (i) any employment agreement entered into by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
business, or any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in
cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment or
indemnification arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans approved
by the Board of Directors, or the grant of stock options or similar rights to
employees and directors of the Company pursuant to plans approved by the Board
of Directors, (ii) transactions between or among the Company and/or its
Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) payment of reasonable directors fees to Persons
who are not otherwise employees of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries,
(iv) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business, (v)
Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.07 hereof, (vi) transactions
pursuant to or contemplated by, and in accordance with, the terms of the
Subordinated Indemnity Agreement, (vii) transactions pursuant to or contemplated
by and payments in connection with, and, in each case, in accordance with, the
terms of the Partnership Parks Agreements and (viii) transactions pursuant to or
contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Marine World Agreements.

          Section 4.12. LIENS. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly create, incur, assume
or suffer to exist any Lien securing trade payables, Attributable Debt or
Indebtedness on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted
Liens, unless (i) in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness that is expressly
subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes, the Notes are secured by
a Lien on that property or those assets or proceeds that is senior in priority
to those Liens, with the same relative priority as that subordinate or junior
Indebtedness will have with respect to the Notes and (ii) in all other cases,
the Notes are secured by such Lien on an equal and ratable basis.

          Section 4.13. LINE OF BUSINESS. The Company shall not, and shall not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than
Permitted Businesses, except

                                       51
<Page>

to such extent that the activity would not be material to the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          Section 4.14. CORPORATE EXISTENCE. Subject to Article 5 hereof, the
Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep
in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate,
partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with
the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to
time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and
statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such
right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of
any of its Subsidiaries, 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 its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is
not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

          Section 4.15. OFFER TO REPURCHASE UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL. (a) Upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall make an offer (a "Change of
Control Offer") to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes at an offer price
in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control
Payment"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall
mail a notice to each Holder stating: (1) that the Change of Control Offer is
being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered will be
accepted for payment; (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall
be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice
is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date"); (3) that any Note not tendered
will continue to accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the
payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the
Change of Control Payment Date; (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes
purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender
the Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the
reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in
the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding
the Change of Control Payment Date; (6) that Holders will be entitled to
withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close
of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment
Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name
of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a
statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes
purchased; and (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part
will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of
the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in
principal amount or an integral multiple thereof. The Company will comply with
the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities
laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of a Change of
Control.

          (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the
extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly
tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying
Agent an amount equal to the Change of

                                       52
<Page>

Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and (3)
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together
with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or
portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent will promptly
mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such
Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be
transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount
to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each
such new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control
Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

          If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest
record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and
unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at
the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be
payable to holders who tender in the Change of Control Offer.

          The Company shall fix the Change of Control Payment Date no earlier
than 30 days and no later than 60 days after the Change of Control Offer is
mailed as set forth above. Prior to complying with the provisions of the
preceding sentence, but in any event within 90 days following a Change of
Control, the Company shall either repay all of its and its Subsidiaries'
outstanding Indebtedness or obtain the requisite consents, if any, under all
agreements governing all such outstanding Indebtedness to the extent necessary
to permit the repurchase of Notes required by this Section 4.15.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to
make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes
the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in
compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.15 and purchases
all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

          To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.15, the Company will
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15, by virtue
thereof.

          Section 4.16. LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS. The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
enter into any sale and leaseback transaction; PROVIDED that the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may enter into a sale and leaseback
transaction if (i) the Company could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount
equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction
pursuant to the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of
Section 4.09 hereof or pursuant to clause (vi) of the third paragraph of Section
4.09 hereof and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to
Section 4.12 hereof, (ii) the gross cash proceeds of such sale and leaseback
transaction are at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors and set forth in an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee) of the property that is the subject of such sale and
leaseback transaction and (iii) the transfer of assets in such sale and
leaseback transaction is permitted by, and the

                                       53
<Page>

Company or such Restricted Subsidiary applies the proceeds of such transaction
in compliance with, Section 4.10 hereof.

          Section 4.17. PAYMENTS FOR CONSENT. The Company shall not, and shall
not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to
be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any
Holder of any Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment
of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such
consideration is offered to be paid or is paid to all Holders of the Notes that
consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation
documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

          Section 4.18. LIMITATION ON LEASES. The Company shall not, directly or
indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its assets to any Person.

case of a merger of the Company with or into a Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company, the Company or the entity or Person formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to

<Page>

Indenture referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the successor
corporation and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of
the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor
Person had been named as the Company herein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
predecessor Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the
principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale of all of
the Company's assets that meets the requirements of Section 5.01 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE VI

million;

          (f) a final judgment or final judgments for the payment of money are
entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or

undischarged judgments exceeds $10.0 million;

          (g) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that constitutes a
Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a
whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the
meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

          (i) commences a voluntary case,

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

                                       55

     Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

          (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary

          Section 6.02. ACCELERATION. If any Event of Default (other than an
Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof with
respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that constitutes a Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, either the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or
(h) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, any Restricted
Subsidiary that constitutes a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary,
all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or
notice. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the
Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not
conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default
(except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely
because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

          If an Event of Default occurs on or after February 1, 2006 by reason
of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of the
Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company
would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes
pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, then, upon acceleration of the

                                       56
<Page>

Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and
payable, to the extent permitted by law, anything in this Indenture or in the
Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default occurs prior to
February 1, 2006 by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken
by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on
redemption of the Notes prior to such date, then, upon acceleration of the
Notes, the premium specified for the twelve months commencing on such date
pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof shall also become and be immediately due and
payable to the extent permitted by law.

          Section 6.03. OTHER REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

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

          Section 6.04. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice
to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any
existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a
continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an
offer to purchase) (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an
acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that
resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease
to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

          Section 6.05. CONTROL BY MAJORITY. Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse
to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the
Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or
that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

          Section 6.06. LIMITATION ON SUITS. A Holder of a Note may pursue a
remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:

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

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

                                       57
<Page>

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

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

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

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

          Section 6.07. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to
receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or
after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection
with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder.

          Section 6.08. COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if
any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue
principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall
be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel.

          Section 6.09. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. The Trustee is
authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to
collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding
is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in
the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly
to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To
the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding,
shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien
on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money,
securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in
such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize
the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes

                                       58
<Page>

or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of
the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

          Section 6.10. PRIORITIES. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant
to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

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

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

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

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

          Section 6.11. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. In any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee
for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion
may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to
pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party
litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a
suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07
hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                     TRUSTEE

          Section 7.01. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE.

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

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

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

                                       59
<Page>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          Section 7.02. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely
upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or
matter stated in such document.

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

                                       60
<Page>

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

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

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

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

          (g) The Trustee shall not be 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, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the
Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into
such facts or matters as it may see fit, 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
at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional
liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

          (h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or
Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a
default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

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

          (j) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers'
Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specific actions pursuant to this Indenture,
which Officers' Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an
Officers' Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any
such certificates.

          Section 7.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the
Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within
90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or

                                       61
<Page>

resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is
also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

          Section 7.04. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of
this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company's use
of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the
Company's direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be
responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent
other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or
recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection
with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its
certificate of authentication.

          Section 7.05. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. If a Default or Event of Default
occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event
of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or
Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on
any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of
its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is
in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

          Section 7.06. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS OF THE NOTES. Within 60
days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this
Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail
to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that
complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section
313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no
report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section
313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by
TIA Section 313(c).

          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall
be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which
the Notes are listed, if any, in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The Company
shall promptly notify the Trustee if the Notes are listed on any stock exchange
or delisted therefrom.

          Section 7.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Company shall pay to the
Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall
from time to time agree in writing for its acceptance of this Indenture and
services hereunder. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law
on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse
the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and
expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its
services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements
and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.

          The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor
Trustee and their agents for, and hold them harmless against any and all losses,
liabilities, damages, claims or expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses and taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined
by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture,
including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company
(including this Section 7.07)

                                       62
<Page>

and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any
Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any
such loss, liability or expense shall have been caused by its own negligence or
bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim of which a
Responsible Officer receives written notice for which it may seek indemnity.
Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of
its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee
shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the
Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company
need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.

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

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

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) hereof occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and
counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
Bankruptcy Law.

          The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 313(b)(2)
to the extent applicable.

          Section 7.08. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. A resignation or removal of the
Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon
the successor Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.

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

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

          (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for
relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

          (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or

          (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then

                                       63
<Page>

outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor
Trustee appointed by the Company.

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

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

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to Holders of the Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer
all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums
owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided
for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant
to this Section 7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

          Section 7.09. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC. If the Trustee
consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of
its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation
without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

          Section 7.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. There shall at all times
be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under
the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a
combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most
recent published annual report of condition.

          This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to
TIA Section 310(b).

          Section 7.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. The
Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship
listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall
be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                    LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

          Section 8.01. OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT
DEFEASANCE. The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced
by a resolution set forth in an

                                       64
<Page>

Officers' Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions
set forth below in this Article Eight.

          Section 8.02. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Upon the Company's
exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations
with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below
are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal
Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05
hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b)
below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this
Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive
solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully
set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company's
obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof,
(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder
and the Company's obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article
Eight. Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Company may exercise
its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its
option under Section 8.03 hereof.

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

          Section 8.04. CONDITIONS TO LEGAL OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The
following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or
8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

          (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust,
for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States dollars, non-callable
Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be
sufficient, in the opinion of a firm of independent public accountants, to pay
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the
Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and
the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to
a particular redemption date;

          (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States
confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published
by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this
Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in
either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall
confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income,
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal
Defeasance had not occurred;

          (c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States
confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income,
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant
Defeasance had not occurred;

          (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, either (x) on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or
Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such
deposit); or (y) insofar as Sections 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) hereof is concerned, at
any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

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

          (f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel (which may be subject to customary exceptions) to the effect that after
the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the
effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally;

          (g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent
of preferring the Holders

                                       66
<Page>

over the other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating,
hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others;
and

          (h) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant
Defeasance have been complied with.

          Section 8.05. DEPOSITED MONEY AND GOVERNMENT SECURITIES TO BE HELD IN
TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money
and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for
purposes of this Section 8.05, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in
respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to
the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium
on , if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law.

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

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

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

                                       67
<Page>

          Section 8.07. REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or paying agent is unable
to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in
accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of
any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company's
obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated
as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until
such time as the Trustee or paying agent is permitted to apply all such money in
accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided,
however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if
any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to
receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or paying agent.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

          Section 9.01. WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS. Notwithstanding Section 9.02
of this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this
Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

          (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

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

          (c) to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to the
Holders of the Notes by a successor to the Company pursuant to Article 5 hereof;

          (d) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal
rights hereunder of any Holder of the Note; or

          (e) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.

          Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its
Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental
Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section
7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any
amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this
Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that
may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into
such amended or supplemental Indenture that adversely affects its own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

          Section 9.02. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

          Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including Sections 3.09, 4.10
and 4.15 hereof) and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent
of the Holders of at least a majority in

                                       68
<Page>

principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase
of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and, subject to Sections
6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a
Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an
acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this
Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single
class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Section 2.10
hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be "outstanding" for
purposes of this Section 9.02.

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

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

          After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice
briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the
Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture
or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single
class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any
provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each
Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with
respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

          (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note
or alter any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes
except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof;

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

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

                                       69
<Page>

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

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

          (g) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a
payment required by Sections 3.09, 4.10 or 4.15 hereof); or

          (h) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or in the foregoing
amendment and waiver provisions.

          Section 9.03. COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every amendment or
supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a amended or
supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

          Section 9.04. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS. Until an amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is
a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a
Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder's Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However,
any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent
as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the
date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and
thereafter binds every Holder.

          Section 9.05. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES. The Trustee may place
an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note
thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and
the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new
Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

          Section 9.06. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC. The Trustee shall sign
any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article Nine
if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment
or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing
any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive
and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon,
in addition to the documents required by Section 10.04 hereof, an Officer's
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended
or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

          If the Company mails a notice or communication to Holders, it shall

                          8-7/8% Senior Notes due 2010

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

          1. INTEREST. Six Flags, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 8-7/8% per
annum from February 11, 2002 until maturity. The Company will pay interest
semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each such year, or if any such day
is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day (each an "Interest
Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to
which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of
issuance; PROVIDED that if there is no existing Default in the payment of
interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on
the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall
accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that
the first Interest Payment Date shall be August 1, 2002. The Company shall pay
interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on
demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it
shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the
extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months.

          2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the
close of business on the January 15 or July 15 next preceding the Interest
Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or
before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the
Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to
principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for such purpose within or without The City and State of New York,
or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check
mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders,
and PROVIDED that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will
be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium on, the Global
Note and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer
instructions to the Company or the paying agent on or prior to the applicable
record date. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States
of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.

          3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York, the
Trustee under the Indenture, will act as paying agent and registrar. The Company
may change any paying agent or registrar without notice to any Holder. The
Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

          4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated
as of February 11, 2002 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and the Trustee.
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part
of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15
U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement

                                       1
<Page>

of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the
express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall
govern and be controlling. The Notes are obligations of the Company initially in
the aggregate principal amount of $480.0 million. Subject to compliance with
Section 2.01 of the Indenture, the Company is permitted to issue Additional
Notes under the Indenture in an unlimited principal amount. Any such Additional
Notes that are actually issued will be treated as issued and outstanding Notes
(and as the same class as the initial Notes) for all purposes of the Indenture,
unless the context clearly indicated otherwise.

          5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. (a) Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of
this Paragraph 5, the Company shall not have the option to redeem the Notes
prior to February 1, 2006. On or after February 1, 2006, the Company shall have
the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to
the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period
beginning on February 1 of the years indicated below:

2008                                                             101.479%
2009 and thereafter                                              100.000%
</Table>

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this
Paragraph 5, at any time prior to February 1, 2005, the Company may on any one
or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
(which includes Additional Notes, if any) originally issued under the Indenture
at a redemption price of 108.875% of the principal amount thereof on the
redemption date with the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity
Offerings and/or the net cash proceeds of a Strategic Equity Investment;
PROVIDED that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (which
includes Additional Notes, if any) originally issued remains outstanding
immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (excluding Notes held
by the Company and its Subsidiaries); and PROVIDED FURTHER, that any such
redemption shall occur within 60 days of the date of the closing of each such
Public Equity Offering and/or Strategic Equity Investment.

          6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the
Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund
payments with respect to the Notes.

          7. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER. (a) If there is a Change of
Control, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a "Change of Control
Offer") to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof) of each Holder's Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if
any, to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 30 days
following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder
setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required
by the Indenture.

                                       2
<Page>

          (b) If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset
Sales, when the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the
Company shall commence an offer to all Holders (as "Asset Sale Offer") pursuant
to Section 4.10 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of
Notes and such other Indebtedness of the Company that is pari passu with the
Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with
respect to offers to purchase or redemptions with the proceeds of sales of
assets, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in
cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such
offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the
extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and other indebtedness tendered
pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company
(or such Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate amount of Notes and other
indebtedness surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess
Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata
basis. Holders that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an
Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may
elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of
Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes.

          8. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder
whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations
larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
$1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and
after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption.

          9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The
transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in
the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the
Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for
the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company
need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days
before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record
date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

          10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be
treated as its owner for all purposes.

          11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of
the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes voting as a single class, and any existing default or compliance with any
provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the
Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity,
defect or

                                       3
<Page>

inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of
certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations
to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets, to make any change that would provide
any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to
comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

          12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) default for
30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in
payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when the same
becomes due and payable, upon redemption (including in connection with an offer
to purchase) or otherwise, (iii) failure by the Company to comply for (A) a
period of 30 days with any of the provisions of Section 4.10 or 4.15 of the
Indenture or (B) 30 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding voting as a single class with any other provisions of Article 4 or
Section 5.01 of the Indenture (in each case, other than a failure to purchase
Notes); (iv) failure by the Company for 60 days after notice to the Company by
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding voting as a single class to comply with certain other agreements in
the Indenture or the Notes; (v) failure to pay Indebtedness within any
applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of such
Indebtedness because of a default where the total amount of such Indebtedness
unpaid or accelerated at any time exceed $10.0 million; (vi) certain final
judgments for the payment of money that remain undischarged for a period of 60
days provided that the aggregate of all such undischarged judgments exceeds
$10.0 million and (vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect
to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. If any Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be
due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an
Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all
outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the
Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of
any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of
any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default
relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that
withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on
behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of
Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or
Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes.
The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding
compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware
of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement
specifying such Default or Event of Default.

          13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or
any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform
services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

          14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee,
incorporator or stockholder, of the Company, as such, shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or
for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or
their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance
of the Notes.

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

and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts
to Minors Act).

          17. CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused

as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
