                           CONSENT AND AMENDMENT NO. 5

                  CONSENT AND AMENDMENT NO. 5, dated as of June 15, 2001 (this
"Amendment"), under the THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of
February 3, 1999 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the
"Agreement"), among HAYES LEMMERZ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation
(the "Borrower"), the several lenders from time to time parties to the Agreement
(the "Lenders"), CANADIAN IMPERIAL BANK OF COMMERCE, a Canadian-chartered bank
acting through its New York Agency, as administrative agent for the Lenders
thereunder and co-lead arranger (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"),
CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON, as syndication agent for the Lenders thereunder and
co-lead arranger, MERRILL LYNCH CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as
co-documentation agent for the Lenders thereunder, and DRESDNER BANK AG, as
co-documentation agent and European Swing Line Administrator for the Lenders.

                                   WITNESSETH:

                  WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent are parties to the Agreement; and

                  WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, and the Lenders have
agreed, to amend, and to consent to certain non-compliance with, certain of the
provisions of the Agreement;

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the
mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                  1. Defined Terms. Terms defined in the Agreement and used
herein shall, unless otherwise indicated, have the meanings given to them in the
Agreement.

                  2. Consents. The Lenders hereby consent and agree that,
anything in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding:

                  (a) European Corporate Reorganization. The Borrower and its
         Subsidiaries may enter into a series of transactions which will result
         in the transfer of the ownership of three Foreign Subsidiaries (namely,
         Hayes Lemmerz, S.p.A., Hayes Lemmerz Holding GmbH and Hayes Lemmerz
         Chassis GmbH) which are currently directly owned by domestic Wholly
         Owned Subsidiaries of the Borrower (the "Transferred Subsidiaries")
         from their current owners to a Dutch Subsidiary ("Dutch Holdco"), all
         the Capital Stock of which will be owned by the Borrower's domestic
         Wholly Owned Subsidiaries, Hayes Lemmerz International-California, Inc.
         and HLI (Europe) Ltd. In connection therewith, the Lenders hereby
         authorize the Administrative Agent to release all Liens which currently
         exist in their favor on the Capital Stock of the Transferred
         Subsidiaries, and the Borrower agrees that, as soon as practicable
         following the completion of the

<PAGE>   2

         reorganization described in this paragraph it will comply with the
         requirements of subsection 7.10(c) of the Agreement insofar as it
         applies to Dutch Holdco.

                  (b) B Term Loans. The Borrower may, so long as no Event of
         Default shall have occurred and be continuing and provided that there
         shall have occurred a Successful New Senior Note Issuance, enter into
         an agreement with one or more Lenders which will establish in favor of
         the Borrower a new term loan facility under the Agreement having a "B
         term loan tranche" structure pursuant to which the final maturity of
         the term loans made thereunder will be no earlier than February 15,
         2005 and the amortization of the principal of which will be at a rate
         of not more than 1% per year until the final maturity date thereof when
         the then remaining principal amount thereof shall become due and
         payable. The loans under such facility will be defined as "B Term
         Loans", will constitute Loans for all purposes of the Loan Documents,
         will be entitled to the benefits of and secured by the Security
         Documents (the Administrative Agent being hereby authorized to execute
         any documents and instruments on behalf of the Lenders that may be
         necessary or appropriate to effect such entitlement and security), and
         the lenders thereof will be defined as the "B Term Lenders."
         Concurrently with the notification by the Borrower to the
         Administrative Agent of the effectiveness of such facility the
         amendments to the Agreement specified in Annex I to this Amendment
         shall automatically become effective, and the Administrative Agent
         will, promptly thereafter, notify the Lenders of such effectiveness.
         Such facility shall be established pursuant to the agreement referred
         to above to be entered into among the Borrower, the Administrative
         Agent and the B Term Lenders and shall not require the execution by or
         consent of any other Lender. Such agreement shall set forth the
         Applicable Margin for the B Term Loans, the amortization schedule and
         final maturity date to be applicable thereto, the amount and date of
         the B Term Loans to be made by each B Term Lender and any conditions to
         the making of such B Term Loans. The Net Cash Proceeds of the B Term
         Loans shall be applied, notwithstanding any provision of subsection 4.3
         to the contrary, first, to payment of the Term Loans then outstanding,
         and second (to the extent that there are no Term Loans then
         outstanding), to permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit
         Commitments then in effect. Prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to
         the preceding sentence shall be applied to the respective installments
         of principal thereof in the direct order of their stated maturity.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Term Loans denominated in
         Deutschemarks or euro units are outstanding at the time of such
         prepayment, mandatory prepayments shall be applied first to prepay
         outstanding Term Loans denominated in Dollars and then to pay such
         non-Dollar-denominated Term Loans.

                  (c) GE Capital Receivables Securitization. The Borrower may
         enter into a receivables securitization transaction with General
         Electric Capital Corporation and any conduit purchaser party thereto
         from time to time on substantially the terms and conditions of Annex II
         to this Amendment. In connection therewith, the Borrower and its
         Subsidiaries may, notwithstanding the provisions of the following
         subsections of the Agreement do the following: (i) subsection 8.3 -
         create Liens on receivables and related contracts and records sold or
         otherwise financed (and on the proceeds thereof) pursuant to the
         receivables sales facility or the receivables purchase facilities
         established pursuant to such transaction, (ii) subsection 8.4 -
         guarantee performance by each seller and servicer of receivables under
         such facilities of its obligations thereunder, (iii) subsection

<PAGE>   3

         8.6 - sell or otherwise finance receivables pursuant to such
         facilities, (iv) subsection 8.9 - form a new Wholly Owned Subsidiary
         (the "SPV") to which the Borrower and its other Subsidiaries will sell
         and contribute receivables pursuant to such facilities, into which the
         Borrower will make investments in cash in an aggregate amount not to
         exceed $15,000,000 (net of any dividends received by the Borrower from
         the SPV from time to time) and which may issue subordinated notes to
         the Borrower as partial consideration for the purchase of receivables
         and (v) subsection 8.13 - enter into a negative pledge clause
         prohibiting the Borrower and its Subsidiaries from creating Liens on
         receivables and related contracts and records sold or otherwise
         financed pursuant to such facilities. Furthermore, the Borrower and the
         SPV shall not be required to comply with the requirements of subsection
         7.10 of the Agreement to the extent they would otherwise be applicable
         to the SPV (except that the Borrower shall continue to be required to
         pledge all the Capital Stock of the SPV). The consent set forth in this
         paragraph shall also be applicable to any Permitted Receivables
         Financing entered into by the Borrower subsequent to the transaction
         with General Electric Capital Corporation described above.

                  (d) Repurchase of Senior Subordinated Notes. The Borrower may,
         notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 8.10 of the Agreement,
         repurchase or redeem Senior Subordinated Notes in accordance with
         subsection 8.2(m) of the Agreement.

                  3. Amendments to Section 1.1. (a) The definitions of the terms
"Leverage Ratio," "Permitted Receivables Financing", "Senior Leverage Ratio" and
"Specified Assets" set forth in subsection 1.1 of the Agreement are hereby
amended to read in their entireties as follows (provided that the amendment to
the terms "Leverage Ratio", "Senior Leverage Ratio" and "Specified Assets" shall
not become effective unless there shall have occurred a Successful New Senior
Note Issuance):

                  "Leverage Ratio": as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the
         Borrower, with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a
         consolidated basis, the ratio of (a) Total Indebtedness on such date
         (including, without limitation, Indebtedness described in clause (g) of
         the definition of such term) to (b) EBITDA for the twelve month period
         ending on such date.

                  "Permitted Receivables Financing": (a) the receivables
         securitization transaction to be entered into by the Borrower with
         General Electric Capital Corporation and any conduit purchaser party
         thereto from time to time on substantially the terms and conditions of
         Annex II to the Consent and Amendment No. 5 to this Agreement (the "GE
         Capital Transaction") and (b) any other receivables financing
         transaction financed in Dollars or in a currency other than Dollars the
         terms and conditions of which that are applicable to the Borrower are,
         taken as a whole, no less favorable, in the Borrower's reasonable
         opinion, to the Lenders and the Borrower than the terms of the GE
         Capital Transaction, provided that the following shall not prevent any
         such receivables financing transaction described in this clause (b)
         from being a Permitted Receivables Financing: (i) the fact that the
         costs associated therewith (including implicit financing charges) are
         greater than those applicable to the GE Capital Transaction (but only
         if such costs are consistent with those generally available at the time
         of such transaction for sellers of

<PAGE>   4

         receivables comparable to the Borrower), (ii) the fact that the
         committed amount of such transaction is less than $175,000,000
         (provided that it is at least $125,000,000) and (iii) the fact that
         such transaction does or does not involve a receivables conduit
         structure.

                  "Senior Leverage Ratio": as of the end of each fiscal quarter
         of the Borrower, with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a
         consolidated basis, the ratio of (a) Total Indebtedness on such date
         (including, without limitation, Indebtedness described in clause (g) of
         the definition of such term) minus the aggregate principal amount of
         the Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding on such date and the
         aggregate principal amount of the New Senior Notes outstanding on such
         date to (b) EBITDA for the twelve month period ending on such date.

                  "Specified Assets": the following assets of Borrower and/or
         its Subsidiaries: (a) the non-wheel aluminum casting operations of
         Borrower's Subsidiary, Metaalgierig Giesen B.V. in Tegelen,
         Netherlands; Bergen, Netherlands; and Hoboken, Belgium, (b) the
         powertrain and engine components operations (manifolds, cylinder heads
         and engine blocks) of Borrower and certain of its Subsidiaries, (c) the
         assets used to manufacture and sell wheels for use on agricultural
         equipment owned by Borrower's Subsidiary, Borlem S.A. Empreendimentos
         Industriais, (d) the assets of the brake controller business conducted
         by the Borrower and certain of its Subsidiaries, (e) the European tire
         and wheel assembly business conducted by Borrower's Subsidiary, Hayes

         equity interest in Reynolds-Lemmerz Industries owned by Borrower's
         Subsidiary, Lemmerz Canada, Inc.

                  (b) Subsection 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by
adding thereto the following new defined terms in proper alphabetical order:

                  "New Senior Notes": the senior notes of the Borrower issued
         pursuant to subsection 8.2(m).

                  "Successful New Senior Note Issuance": the completion on or
         after June 19, 2001 of the issuance and sale by the Borrower of New
         Senior Notes the aggregate gross proceeds of which equal or exceed
         $200,000,000.

                  4. Amendments to Subsection 4.3(b). Subsection 4.3(b) of the
Agreement is hereby amended by inserting at the end thereof the following:

         "and, provided, further, that the Net Cash Proceeds of the New Senior
         Notes shall be applied in the order specified in subsection 8.2(m)"

                  5. Amendment to Subsection 5.2. Subsection 5.2 of the
Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                  "5.2 No Change. Since April 30, 2001, there has been no
         development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to
         have a Material Adverse Effect provided, however, that no Material
         Adverse Effect shall be deemed to have occurred based in whole or in
         part on any development or event reflected in or contemplated by the

<PAGE>   5

         Borrower's financial and other information and projections, dated April
         2, 2001 that were delivered to the Lenders on or about April 2, 2001."

                  6. Amendment to Subsection 8.1(a). If, and only if, there
shall have occurred a Successful New Senior Note Issuance, subsection 8.1(a) of
the Agreement shall be amended, effective on the date of such Issuance, by (i)

fiscal quarters specified below and (ii) replacing them with the following:

         which shall not be earlier than seven days after the date of such Loan
         or later than 360 days after the date of such Loan;

         provided that all of the foregoing provisions relating to Interest
         Periods are subject to the following:

                           (1) if any Interest Period would otherwise end on a
                  day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall be
                  extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless, in the
                  case of Eurocurrency Loans only, the result of such extension
                  would be to carry such Interest Period into another calendar
                  month in which event such Interest Period shall end on the
                  immediately preceding Business Day;

                           (2) any Interest Period that would otherwise extend
                  beyond (a) the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date
                  (in the case of Revolving Credit Loans) shall end on the
                  Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, (b) the Term
                  Loan Maturity Date (in the case of the Term Loans) shall end
                  on the Term Loan Maturity Date; or (c) the B Term Loan
                  Maturity Date (in the case of the B Term Loans) shall end on
                  the B Term Loan Maturity Date;

                           (3) any Interest Period pertaining to a Eurocurrency
                  Loan that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month
                  (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding
                  day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period)
                  shall end on the last Business Day of a calendar month; and

                           (4) the Borrower shall select Interest Periods so as
                  not to require a payment or prepayment of any Loan during an
                  Interest Period for such Loan.

                  "Notes": collectively, the Revolving Credit Notes, the Swing
         Line Note, the Term Notes, the B Term Notes and the Competitive Notes,
         if any.

2. Subsection 4.2.

                  4.2 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and
from time to time prepay the Loans in whole or in part, without premium (except
as may have otherwise been agreed to in respect of the B Term Loans) or penalty
on any Business Day, provided that (i) the Borrower shall have given (x) at
least three Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (in
the case of Eurocurrency Loans) or (y) same-day irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent (in the case of ABR Loans, including Dollar Swing Line
Loans or to the applicable Foreign Currency Swing Line Lender in the case of
Foreign Currency Swing Line Loans), (ii) such notice specifies, in the case of
any prepayment of Loans, the date, Currency and amount of prepayment and whether
the prepayment is (x) of Term Loans, B Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or
Dollar Swing Line Loans, Foreign Currency Swing Line Loans, or a combination
thereof, and in each case if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to
each, (y) of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, in
each case if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each and
(iii) each prepayment is in a minimum principal Dollar Equivalent Amount of
$1,000,000 and a multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Upon the receipt of any
such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders
thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall
be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts
payable pursuant to Subsection 4.12 and, in the case of prepayments of the Term
Loans and B Term Loans only, accrued interest to such date on the amount
prepaid. Partial prepayments of (i) the Term Loans and B Term Loans pursuant to
this subsection shall be applied ratably as between the Term Loans and the B
Term Loans and pro rata to the respective installments of principal of each
thereof and (ii) the Revolving Credit Loans and the Letters of Credit pursuant
to this subsection shall be applied, first, to payment of the Dollar Swing Line
Loans then outstanding, second, to the payment of the Foreign Currency Swing
Line Loans then outstanding, third, to payment of the Revolving Credit Loans
then outstanding and, last, to cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligation
upon terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower
shall not have the right to prepay Competitive Loans without the consent of the
applicable Lender.

3. Subsections 4.3(e), (f), (h) and (i).

                  (i) (e) Except as expressly provided herein, prepayments of
the Loans and permanent reductions of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant
to subsections 4.3(a), (b) and (c) shall be applied, first, to payment, ratably
as between them, of the Term Loans and B Term Loans then outstanding and,
second, (to the extent that there are no Term Loans or B Term

<PAGE>   14

                                                                               4

Loans then outstanding) to permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect. Prepayments of the Term Loans and B Term Loans
pursuant to subsections 4.3(a), (b), (c) and (h) shall be applied pro rata to
the respective installments of principal thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event Term Loans denominated in Deutschemarks or euro units are
outstanding at the time of such prepayment, mandatory prepayments shall be
applied first to prepay outstanding Term Loans denominated in Dollars and then
to pre pay Non-Dollar-Denominated Term Loans.

                  (ii) (f) Amounts prepaid on account of Term Loans and B Term
Loans pursuant to subsection 4.3(a), (b), (c) or (h) may not be reborrowed.

                  (iii) (h) If, subsequent to the Closing Date, the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries shall receive any cash proceeds of any casualty or
condemnation, then on the first Business Day after receipt thereof 100% of the
portion of such proceeds required by subsection 8.6(h) to be applied pursuant to
the terms of this subsection 4.3(h) shall be either (at the election of the
Borrower) (a) deposited by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent, which
shall hold such proceeds in a cash collateral account upon terms reasonably
satisfactory to it or (b) applied by the Borrower to prepay Term Loans, B Term
Loans or Revolving Credit Loans (at the election of the Borrower), provided that
to the extent the Borrower elects to prepay Revolving Credit Loans (i) the
Borrower shall maintain Available Revolving Credit Commitments (in addition to
any requirement to maintain Available Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance
with subsections 8.2(h) and (l)) at least equal to the aggregate principal
amount of Revolving Credit Loans so prepaid and (ii) if such property is not
replaced or rebuilt within one year (subject to reasonable extension for force
majeure or weather delays) following the condemnation or casualty or if the
Borrower fails to notify the Administrative Agent in writing on or before the
90th day after such casualty or condemnation that the Borrower shall commence
the replacement or rebuilding of such property, then, the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be permanently reduced at such time in an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of proceeds applied by the Borrower to prepay Revolving Credit
Loans rather than Term Loans or B Term Loans.

                  (iv) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
subsection 4.3 or subsection 4.8, with respect to the amount of any mandatory
prepayment described in subsection 4.3 that is allocated to B Term Loans (such
amounts, the "B Prepayment Amount"), at any time when Term Loans remain
outstanding, the Borrower will, in lieu of applying such amount to the
prepayment of B Term Loans as provided in subsection 4.3, on the date specified
in subsection 4.3 for such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic
notice (promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Administrative Agent
prepare and provide to each B Term Lender a notice (each, a "Prepayment Option
Notice") as described below. As promptly as practicable after receiving such
notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will send to each B Term
Lender a Prepayment Option Notice in a form acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and shall include an offer by the Borrower to prepay on the date (each a
"Mandatory Prepayment Date") that is 10 Business Days after the date of the
Prepayment Option Notice, the relevant B Term Loans of such B Term Lender by an
amount equal to the portion of the Prepayment Amount indicated in such B Term
Lender's Prepayment Option Notice as being applicable to such B Term Lender's B
Term Loans. Each B Term Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent
whether or not it elects to accept such prepayment, and the Administrative

                                                                               5

Agent shall promptly deliver such notice to the Borrower. On the Mandatory
Prepayment Date, (i) the Borrower shall pay to the relevant B Term Lenders the
aggregate amount necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding relevant B
Term Loans in respect of which such B Term Lenders have accepted prepayment as
described above and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to the Term Lenders an amount
equal to the portion of the B Prepayment Amount not accepted by the relevant B
Term Lenders, and such amount shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term
Loans.

4. Subsection 4.4(b).

                  (b) Any Eurocurrency Standby Loans may be continued as such in
the same Currency upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with
respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent, in
accordance with the applicable notice provisions of subsection 2.3, of the
length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that
no such Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such (i) unless the Majority
Lenders otherwise consent, when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving
Credit Commitment Termination Date (in the case of continuations of Revolving
Credit Loans), the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of continuations of Term
Loans) or the B Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of continuations of B Term
Loans) and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give such
notice or if such continuation is not permitted such Eurocurrency Loans shall be
automatically continued with an Interest Period of one month.

5. Subsection 4.8(a) (third sentence only).

                  Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on
account of principal of and interest on any Term Loans or B Term Loans shall be
allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of such Term Loans or B Term Loans, as the case
may be, then held by the Term Loan Lenders or B Term Lenders, as the case may
be.

         (1)      has no Indebtedness other than Non-Recourse Debt;

         (2)      is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or
                  understanding with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of
                  the Company unless the terms of any such agreement, contract,
                  arrangement or understanding are no less favorable to the
                  Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be
                  obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of
                  the Company;

         (3)      is a Person with respect to which neither the Company nor any

                  (a)      to subscribe for additional Equity Interests; or

                  (b)      to maintain or preserve such Person's financial
                           condition or to cause such Person to achieve any
                           specified levels of operating results;

         (4)      has not guaranteed or otherwise directly or indirectly
                  provided credit support for any Indebtedness of the Company or
                  any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; and

         (5)      has at least one director on its Board of Directors that is
                  not a director or executive officer of the Company or any of
                  its Restricted Subsidiaries and has at least one executive
                  officer that is not a director or executive officer of the
                  Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

         Any such designation by the Board of Directors shall be evidenced to
the Trustee by filing with the trustee a certified copy of the board resolution
giving effect to such designation and an Officers' Certificate certifying that
such designation complied with the foregoing conditions and was permitted by
Section 4.07 hereof. In addition, each Subsidiary of the Company that is an
"Unrestricted Subsidiary" as of the date hereof under the indentures relating to
the Company's existing indebtedness shall be an "Unrestricted Subsidiary" for
purposes of this Indenture. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would
fail to meet the foregoing requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall
thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this
Indenture, and any Indebtedness of that Subsidiary shall be deemed to be
incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date (and, if such
Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09
hereof, the Company shall be in default of Section 4.09 hereof). The Board of
Directors may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a
Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the designation shall be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any
outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and the designation
shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09
hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at
the beginning of the four-quarter reference period and (2) no Default would
occur or be in existence following such designation.

         "U.S. Person" means a U.S. person as defined in Rule 902(o) under the
Securities Act.

         "Voting Stock" of any Person as of any date means the Capital Stock of
such Person that is at the time entitled to vote in the election of the board of
directors of such Person.

         "Weighted Average Life to Maturity" means, when applied to any
Indebtedness at any date, the number of years obtained by dividing:

         (1)      the sum of the products obtained by multiplying :

                  (a)      the amount of each then remaining installment,
                           sinking fund, serial maturity or other required
                           payments of principal, including payment at final
                           maturity, in respect thereof; by

                  (b)      the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-
                           twelfth) that will elapse between such date and the
                           making of such payment; by

         (2)      the then outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness.

                                   THE NOTES

Section 2.01.  Form and Dating.

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

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

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

                                       22
<PAGE>

represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the
direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder
thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

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

Section 2.02.  Execution and Authentication.

         Two Officers 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 two
Officers (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 2.08 hereof.

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

Section 2.03.  Registrar and Paying Agent.

         The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.
The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional
paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term
"Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without 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.

Section 2.04.  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 the
Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of, or premium, 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 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 2.05.  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 (S). 312(a). If the Trustee is
not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven
Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the
Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the
Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of
Notes, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA (S). 312(a).

Section 2.06.  Transfer and Exchange.

        (a)    Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be
transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary,
by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the
Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary
or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by
the Company for Definitive Notes if (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 or
(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. Upon the occurrence of either of
the preceding events in (i) or (ii) 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 2.07 and
2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu
of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06, or
Section 2.07 or 2.10 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 2.06(a); however, beneficial
interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in
Section 2.06(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

                                       24
<PAGE>

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.
         Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred
         to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
         interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the
         transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend;
         provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted
         Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global
         Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of
         a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests
         in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take
         delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an
         Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be
         required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers
         described in this Section 2.06(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 2.06(b)(i) above,
         the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the
         Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an
         Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the
         Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be
         credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount
         equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2)
         instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures
         containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited
         with such increase or (B) (1) a written order from a Participant or an
         Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the
         Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a
         Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be
         transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the Depositary
         to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose
         name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or
         exchange referred to in (1) above. Upon consummation of an Exchange
         Offer by the Company in accordance with Section 2.06(f) hereof, the
         requirements of this Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall be deemed to have been
         satisfied upon receipt by the Registrar of the instructions contained
         in the Letter of Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial
         interests in the Restricted Global Notes. Upon satisfaction of all of
         the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in
         Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise
         applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the
         principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section
         2.06(g) hereof.

               (iii)  Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted
         Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be
         transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
         beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer
         complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) above and the
         Registrar receives the following:

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

                                       25
<PAGE>

                      (B)   if the transferee will take delivery in the form of
               a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, then the
               transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B
               hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof; and

                      (C)   if the transferee will take delivery in the form of
               a beneficial interest in the IAI Global Note, then the transferor
               must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto,
               including the certifications and certificates and Opinion of
               Counsel required by item (3) thereof, if applicable.

               (iv)   Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a
         Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in the 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 transfer complies with the requirements of
         Section 2.06(b)(ii) above and:

                      (A)   such exchange or transfer is effected pursuant to
               the Exchange Offer in accordance with the Registration Rights
               Agreement and the holder of the beneficial interest to be
               transferred, in the case of an exchange, or the transferee, in
               the case of a transfer, certifies in the applicable Letter of
               Transmittal that it is not (1) a broker-dealer, (2) a Person
               participating in the distribution of the Exchange Notes or (3) a
               Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the
               Company;

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

               pursuant to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in
               accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement; or

                      (D)   the Registrar receives the following:

                                   (1)    if the holder of such beneficial
                            interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to
                            exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial

     certifies in the applicable Letter of Transmittal that it is not (1) a
     broker-dealer, (2) a Person participating in the distribution of the
     Exchange Notes or (3) a Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144)
     of the Company;

          (B)  any such transfer is effected pursuant to the Shelf Registration
     Statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement;

          (C)  any such transfer is effected by a Broker-Dealer pursuant to the
     Exchange Offer Registration Statement in accordance with the Registration
     Rights Agreement; or

          (D)  the Registrar receives the following:

                    (1)  if the Holder of such Restricted Definitive Notes
               proposes to exchange such Notes for an Unrestricted Definitive
               Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit C
               hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(d) thereof; or

                    (2)  if the Holder of such Restricted Definitive Notes
               proposes to transfer such Notes to a Person who shall take
               delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note,
               a certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto,
               including the certifications in item (4) thereof;

                                       32
<PAGE>

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

          (iii)  Unrestricted Definitive Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes.
     A Holder of Unrestricted Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a
     Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive
     Note. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar
     shall register the Unrestricted Definitive Notes pursuant to the
     instructions from the Holder thereof.

     (f)  Exchange Offer. Upon the occurrence of the Exchange Offer in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall issue and,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, the
Trustee shall authenticate (i) one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
interests in the Restricted Global Notes tendered for acceptance by Persons that
certify in the applicable Letters of Transmittal that (x) they are not broker-
dealers, (y) they are not participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes
and (z) they are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company, and
accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer and (ii) Definitive Notes in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Restricted
Definitive Notes accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer. Concurrently with
the issuance of such Notes, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal
amount of the applicable Restricted Global Notes to be reduced accordingly, and
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Persons designated by the Holders of Definitive Notes so accepted Definitive
Notes in the appropriate principal amount.

     (g)  Legends. The following legends shall appear on the face of all Global
Notes and Definitive Notes issued under this Indenture unless specifically
stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

          (i)    Private Placement Legend.

                 (A)   Except as permitted by subparagraph (B) below, each
          Global Note and each Definitive Note (and all Notes issued in exchange
          therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear the legend in
          substantially the following form:

"THE NOTES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "SECURITIES ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD,

EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, (4) PURSUANT TO
AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144
THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE) OR (5) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES
LAW OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED STATES."

                (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) to this Section
          2.06 (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:

"THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE
GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL
OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
EXCEPT THAT (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED
PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (II) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE
EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF THE INDENTURE,
(III) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT
TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE INDENTURE AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO
A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF CROWN CASTLE
INTERNATIONAL CORP."

     (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 2.11 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 or at the Registrar's request.

                                       34
<PAGE>

          (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 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof).

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

          (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 Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the
     transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the
     opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for
     redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on
     the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any
     Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
     portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer
     of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding
     Interest Payment Date.

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

          (vii)  The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive
     Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

          (viii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel
     required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to
     effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by
     facsimile.

Section 2.07.  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.

                                       35
<PAGE>

     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 2.08.  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 2.09 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 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

     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 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 2.09.  Treasury Notes.

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

Section 2.10.  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 2.11.  Cancellation.

     The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.
The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of

                                       36
<PAGE>

transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy
canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange
Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes shall be delivered
to the Company. 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 2.12.  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.

                           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 30
days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers'
Certificate setting forth (1) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the
redemption shall occur, (2) the redemption date, (3) the principal amount of
Notes to be redeemed and (4) the redemption price (expressed as a percentage of
the principal amount).

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 as
follows:

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

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

     No Notes of $1,000 of principal amount or less will be redeemed in part.
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. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30
but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to
be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of redemption may not be
conditional.

     If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that
relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount of that
Note to be redeemed. A new Note in principal

                                       37
<PAGE>

amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note presented for
redemption will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of
the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for
redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes
or portions of them 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 to be redeemed and shall state:

     (1)  the redemption date;

     (2)  the redemption price;

     (3)  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 cancellation of the original Note;

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

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

     (6)  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;

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

     (8)  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 45 days prior to the redemption
date, an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and
setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the
preceding paragraph.

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.

                                       38
<PAGE>

     One Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption
price of and accrued interest on all Notes, if any, 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, if any,
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 the Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or
after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment
date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose
name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If
any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for
redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding
paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption
date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest
not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the
Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06.  Notes Redeemed in Part.

     Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue
and, 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 provided in clause (b) of this Section 3.07, the Notes will
not be redeemable at the Company's option prior to August 1, 2006. On or after
August 1, 2006, the Company may redeem all or a 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, if any, on the Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during
the twelve-month period beginning on August 1 of the years indicated below:

     Year                                                           Percentage
     ----                                                           ----------
     2006.......................................................     104.688%
     2007.......................................................     103.125%
     2008.......................................................     101.563%
     2009 and thereafter........................................     100.000%

     (b)  Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of this Section 3.07, at
any time during the period after the date of the original issuance of the Notes
until August 1, 2004, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to
35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued at a
redemption price equal to 109.375% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date with the net cash proceeds of one or
more Public Equity Offerings and/or Strategic Equity Investments provided that:

                                       39
<PAGE>

          (1)  at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
     originally issued remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of
     such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company or any of its
     Subsidiaries); and

          (2)  the redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing
     of such Public Equity Offering 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.

Section 3.08.  Mandatory Redemption.

     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.

     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 aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as
applicable) of Notes and other senior Indebtedness of the Company required to be
purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof (on a pro rata basis if Notes and
other senior Indebtedness of the Company tendered are in excess of the Excess
Proceeds) (which maximum amount shall be the "Offer Amount") or, if less than
the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other senior Indebtedness
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;

                                       40
<PAGE>

     (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 elect to have Notes purchased in integral multiples of $1,000
only;

     (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;

     (h)  that, if the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as
applicable) of Notes and other senior Indebtedness of the Company 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 and other senior
Indebtedness tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate

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; 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 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 2.03 hereof.

     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.

     reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of
     such financial statements, nothing has come to their attention that would
     lead them to believe that the Company has violated any provisions of
     Article 4 or Article 5 hereof or, if any such violation has occurred,
     specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being understood
     that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any
     Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

          (3)  The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding,
     deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any

     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 (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) 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:

          (1)  declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or
     distribution on account of the Company's or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries' Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment
     in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any
     of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the
     Company's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests in their
     capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity
     Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or to the Company
     or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company);

          (2)  purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value

     Interests owned by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries);

                                       44
<PAGE>

          (3)  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

          (4)  make any Restricted Investment, (all such payments and other
     actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above, including those
     occurring since the date of the May 1999 Senior Discount Note Indenture,
     being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"),

unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

          (1)  no Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a
     consequence of the Restricted Payment; and

          (2)  the Company would have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of
     additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Debt to Adjusted Consolidated Cash
     Flow Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.09 hereof;
     provided that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be
     required to comply with this clause (2) in order to make any Restricted
     Investment; and

          (3)  such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of
     all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted
     Subsidiaries after the date of the May 1999 Senior Discount Note Indenture
     (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3) and (4) of the
     paragraph of exceptions below), is less than the sum, without duplication,
     of:

               (a)  100% of the Consolidated Cash Flow of the Company for the
          period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the
          fiscal quarter during which the May 1999 Senior Discount Note
          Indenture was executed to the end of the Company's most recently ended
          fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available
          at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if the Consolidated Cash
          Flow for such period is a deficit, less 100% of the deficit), less
          1.75 times the Consolidated Interest Expense of the Company since the
          beginning of the fiscal quarter during which the May 1999 Senior
          Discount Note Indenture was executed; plus

               (b)  100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the
          Company since the beginning of the fiscal quarter during which the May
          1999 Senior Discount Note Indenture was executed as a contribution to
          its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity
          Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock and except to
          the extent such net cash proceeds are used to incur new Indebtedness
          outstanding pursuant to clause (11) of the second paragraph of Section
          4.09 hereof) or from the issue or sale of Disqualified Stock or debt
          securities of the Company that have been converted into Equity
          Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or
          convertible debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Company and
          other than Disqualified Stock or convertible debt securities that have
          been converted into Disqualified Stock); plus

               (c)  to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made
          after the date of the May 1999 Senior Discount Note Indenture is sold
          for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of:

                                       45
<PAGE>

                    (A)  the cash return of capital with respect to the
               Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any); and

                    (B)  the initial amount of the Restricted Investment; plus

               (d)  to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the
          Company and all of its Subsidiaries are designated as Restricted
          Subsidiaries after the date of the May 1999 Senior Discount Note
          Indenture, the lesser of:

                    (A)  the fair market value of the Company's Investments in
               such Subsidiaries as of the date of such designation; or

                    (B)  the sum of:

                              (x)  the fair market value of the Company's
                    Investments in such Subsidiaries as of the date on which
                    such Subsidiaries were originally designated as Unrestricted
                    Subsidiaries; and

                              (y)  the amount of any Investments made in such
                    Subsidiaries subsequent to such designation (and treated as
                    Restricted Payments) by the Company or any Restricted
                    Subsidiary;

               provided that:

                    (i)  in the event the Unrestricted Subsidiaries designated
               as Restricted Subsidiaries are CTSH and its Subsidiaries, the
               references in clauses (A) and (B) of this clause (d) to fair
               market value of the Company's Investments in such Subsidiaries
               shall mean the amount by which the fair market value of all such
               Investments exceeds 34.3% of the fair market value of CTSH and
               its Subsidiaries as a whole; and

                    (ii) in the event the Unrestricted Subsidiaries designated
               as Restricted Subsidiaries are CCAIC and its Subsidiaries, the
               references in clauses (A) and (B) of this clause (d) to fair
               market value of the Company's Investments in such Subsidiaries
               shall mean the amount by which the fair market value of all such
               Investments exceeds $250.0 million; plus

               (e)  50% of any dividends received by the Company or a Restricted
          Subsidiary after the date of the May 1999 Senior Discount Note
          Indenture from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company, to the
          extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in Consolidated
          Net Income of the Company for such period.

     The preceding provisions shall not prohibit:

          (1)  the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of
     declaration of that dividend, if at said date of declaration such payment
     would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;

                                       46
<PAGE>

          (2)  the making of any Investment or 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 from the sale since the beginning of the fiscal
     quarter during which the May 1999 Senior Discount Note Indenture was
     executed (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of Equity Interests of
     the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock); provided that the net cash
     proceeds are not used to incur new Indebtedness pursuant to clause (11) of
     the second paragraph of Section 4.09 hereof); and provided further that, in
     each case, the amount of any net cash proceeds that are so utilized will be
     excluded from clause (3)(b) of the preceding paragraph;

          (3)  the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of
     subordinated Indebtedness with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of
     Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

          (4)  the payment of any dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary of the
     Company to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

          (5)  the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for
     value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
     of the Company held by any member of the Company's (or any of its
     Restricted Subsidiaries') management pursuant to any management equity
     subscription agreement or stock option agreement in effect as of the date
     of the May 1999 Senior Discount Note Indenture; provided that the aggregate
     price paid for all of the repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity
     Interests may not exceed (a) $500,000 in any twelve-month period and (b)
     $5.0 million in the aggregate since the date of the August 1999 Senior Note
     Indenture; or

          (6)  the payment of scheduled dividends on the Company's 123/4% Senior
     Exchangeable Preferred Stock due 2010, whether paid in cash or in kind
     through the issuance of additional shares of such preferred stock, all in
     accordance with the certificate of designations governing such preferred
     stock as in effect on the date of the May 1999 Senior Discount Note
     Indenture.

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

     The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair
market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the assets or securities
proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or the applicable Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair
market value of any property, assets or Investments required by this covenant to
be valued will be valued

                                       47
<PAGE>

by the Board of Directors whose resolution with respect to the determination
will be delivered to the Trustee.

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:

          (1)  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;

          (2)  pay any indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries;

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

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

     The preceding restrictions shall not apply to encumbrances or restrictions
existing under or by reason of:

          (1)  Existing Indebtedness as in effect on the date hereof, and any
     amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements,
     refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; 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 applicable series of Existing Indebtedness as in
     effect on the date hereof;

          (2)  Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary under any Credit
     Facility that is permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09 hereof;
     provided that such Credit Facility and Indebtedness contain only such
     encumbrances and restrictions on such Restricted Subsidiary's ability to
     engage in the activities set forth in clauses (1) through (4) of the
     preceding paragraph as are, at the time such Credit Facility is entered
     into or amended, modified, restated, renewed, increased, supplemented,
     refunded, replaced or refinanced, ordinary and customary for a Credit
     Facility of that type as determined in the good faith judgment of the Board
     of Directors (and evidenced in a board resolution), which determination
     shall be conclusively binding;

          (3)  encumbrances and restrictions applicable to any Unrestricted
     Subsidiary, as the same are in effect as of the date on which the
     Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, and as the same may be amended,
     modified, restated, renewed, increased, supplemented, refunded, replaced or
     refinanced; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements,
     renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings
     are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to the dividend and
     other payment restrictions than those contained in the applicable series of
     Indebtedness of such Subsidiary as in effect on the date on which such
     Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

                                       48
<PAGE>

          (4)  any Indebtedness incurred in compliance with Section 4.09 hereof
     or any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness is issued if the
     encumbrance or restriction applies only in the event of a payment default
     or default with respect to a financial covenant contained in the
     Indebtedness or agreement and the encumbrance or restriction is not
     materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes than is
     customary in comparable financings (as determined by the Company) and the
     Company determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not
     materially affect the Company's ability to pay interest or principal on the
     Notes;

          (5)  this Indenture;

          (6)  applicable law;

          (7)  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 that Person is acquired by the Company (except to the
     extent the Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation
     of the 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, the Indebtedness was permitted by the
     terms hereof to be incurred;

          (8)  customary non-assignment provisions in leases or licenses entered
     into in the ordinary course of business;

          (9)  purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary
     course of business that impose restrictions of the nature described in
     clause (5) in the second paragraph of Section 4.09 hereof on the property

          (12) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the
     restrictions contained in the agreements governing the Permitted
     Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than
     those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being
     refinanced;

     Section 4.12 hereof that limit the right of the debtor to transfer the

Section 4.09.  Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

                                       49
<PAGE>

     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 will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock;
provided 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 preferred stock if, in
each case, the Company's Debt to Adjusted Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio at the
time of incurrence of the Indebtedness or the issuance of the preferred stock,
after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or issuance as of such date and
to the use of proceeds from such incurrence or issuance as if the same had
occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended four full fiscal quarter
period of the Company for which internal financial statements are available,
would have been no greater than 7.5 to 1.

     The provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 4.09 shall not
prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness or to the
issuance of any of the following items of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock
(collectively, "Permitted Debt"):

          (1)  the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities since the date of the
     August 1999 Senior Note Indenture 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 product of
     $150,000 times the number of Completed Towers on the date of such
     incurrence;

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

          (3)  the incurrence by the Company of the Indebtedness represented by
     notes issued on the date of the May 1999 Senior Discount Note Indenture;

          (4)  the issuance by the Company of additional shares of its 12 3/4%
     Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock due 2010 solely for the purpose of
     paying dividends thereon and the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness
     represented by the Company's 12 3/4% Senior Subordinated Exchange
     Debentures due 2010;

          (5)  the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Indebtedness since the date of the August 1999 Senior Note
     Indenture 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,
     including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund,
     refinance or replace any other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this
     clause (5), not to exceed $10.0 million at any one time outstanding;

          (6)  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 extend, refinance, renew, replace,
     defease or refund Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries or Disqualified Stock of the Company (other than intercompany

                                       50
<PAGE>

     Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under the
     first paragraph of this Section 4.09 or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5) or this
     clause (6) of this paragraph;

          (7)  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:

               (i)  if the Company is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such
          Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in
          cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes of such series and
          that:

               (ii) (A)  any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests
          that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other
          than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; and

                    (B)  any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to
          a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary,

               shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of the
          Indebtedness by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case
          may be;

          (8)  the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of 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
     outstanding or currency exchange risk;

          (9)  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
     Indenture;

          (10) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Acquired Debt in connection with the acquisition of assets
     or a new Subsidiary and the incurrence by the Company's Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Indebtedness as a result of the designation of an
     Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that, in the
     case of any such incurrence of Acquired Debt, such Acquired Debt was
     incurred by the prior owner of such assets or such Restricted Subsidiary
     prior to such acquisition by the Company or one of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation
     of, the acquisition by the Company or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
     and provided further that, in the case of any incurrence pursuant to this
     clause (10), as a result of such acquisition by the Company or one of its
     Restricted Subsidiaries, the Company's Debt to Adjusted Consolidated Cash
     Flow Ratio at the time of incurrence of such Acquired Debt, after giving
     pro forma effect to such incurrence as if the same had occurred at the
     beginning of the most recently ended four full fiscal quarter period of the
     Company for which internal financial statements are available, would have
     been less than the Company's Debt to Adjusted Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio
     for the same period without giving pro forma effect to such incurrence;

          (11) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock not to exceed, at any
     one time outstanding, the sum of:

                                       51
<PAGE>

               (i)  2.0 times the aggregate net cash proceeds; plus

               (ii) 1.0 times the fair market value of non-cash proceeds
          (evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an
          Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee); in each case, from
          the issuance and sale, other than to a Subsidiary, of Equity Interests
          (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company since the beginning of
          the fiscal quarter during which the May 1999 Senior Discount Note
          Indenture was executed (less the amount of such proceeds used to make
          Restricted Payments as provided in clause (3)(b) of the first
          paragraph or clause (2) of the second paragraph of Section 4.07
          hereof); and

          (12) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries since the date of the August 1999 Senior Note Indenture of
     additional Indebtedness and/or the issuance by the Company of Disqualified
     Stock in an aggregate principal amount, accreted value or liquidation
     preference, as applicable, at any time outstanding, not to exceed $25.0
     million.

          In addition, the Company shall not:

          (1)  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 will be deemed to be contractually subordinated
     in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by
     virtue of being unsecured; and

          (2)  permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to incur any
     Indebtedness other than Non-Recourse Debt.

     For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event
that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (12) 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) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with
this Section 4.09. Accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original
issue discount and the payment of interest in the form of additional
Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for
purposes of this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding
on the date hereof shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in
reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted
Debt. The debt represented by the Notes issued on the date hereof shall be
deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided
by clause (11) of the definition of Permitted Debt and the exchange notes to be
issued in exchange for the Notes shall be deemed to be a Permitted Refinancing
under such clause (11).

Section 4.10.  Asset Sales.

     The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

                                       52
<PAGE>

          (1)  the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be)
     receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the
     fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or
     otherwise disposed of;

          (2)  fair market value is determined by the Board of Directors and
     evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an
     Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and

          (3)  except in the case of a Tower Asset Exchange, at least 75% of the
     consideration received in such Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted
     Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

     For purposes of this provision, 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's or
          any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and
          liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any
          guarantee of the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any
          assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the
          Company or the Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and

               (b)  any securities, notes or other obligations received by the
          Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are
          converted by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary into cash within
          20 days of the applicable Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash
          received in that conversion.

     Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale,
the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds to:

          (1)  reduce Indebtedness under a Credit Facility;

          (2)  reduce other Indebtedness of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries;

          (3)  the acquisition of all or substantially all the assets of a
     Permitted Business;

          (4)  the acquisition of Voting Stock of a Permitted Business from a
     Person that is not a Subsidiary of the Company; provided that, after giving
     effect to the acquisition, the Company or its Restricted Subsidiary owns a
     majority of the Voting Stock of that business; or

          (5)  the making of a capital expenditure or the acquisition of other
     long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.

     Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may
temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the 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 shall be deemed to constitute "Excess
Proceeds". When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million,
the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes,

                                       53
<PAGE>

and all holders of other senior Indebtedness of the Company containing
provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers
to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase the
maximum principal amount of Notes and such other senior Indebtedness of the
Company that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any
Asset Sale Offer will be payable in cash and will be 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase,
if any. In the case of any other senior Indebtedness, the offer price shall be
100% of the principal amount of the Indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase. Each Asset Sale Offer shall
be made in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and the other senior
Indebtedness of the Company. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of
an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use the remaining Excess Proceeds for any
purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal
amount, as applicable, of Notes and the other senior Indebtedness of the Company
tendered into the Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the
Trustee shall select the Notes and such other senior Indebtedness to be
purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of the Asset Sale Offer, the
amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

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 of the foregoing, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

          (1)  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

          (2)  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 $1.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set
          forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that the Affiliate
          Transaction complies with clause (1) above and that the 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 to the Holders of the Notes as to
          the fairness of the 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
Affiliate Transactions:

          (1)  any employment arrangements with any executive officer of the
     Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that is entered into by the Company or
     any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and
     consistent with compensation arrangements of similarly situated executive
     officers at comparable companies engaged in Permitted Businesses;

                                       54
<PAGE>

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

          (3)  payment of directors fees in an aggregate annual amount not to
     exceed $25,000 per Person;

          (4)  Restricted Payments that are permitted under Section 4.07 hereof;

          (5)  the issuance or sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified
     Stock) of the Company; and

          (6)  transactions pursuant to the provisions of the Governance
     Agreement and the Stockholders' Agreement, as the same are in effect on the
     date hereof.

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 Indebtedness or trade payables on any asset now owned or
hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any
right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens.

Section 4.13.  Business Activities.

     The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in
any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to the extent as would not
be material to the Company and its 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:

          (1)  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

          (2)  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.

     If a Change of Control occurs, the Company shall make an offer (a "Change
of Control Offer") to each Holder 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 of the Notes repurchased,
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant interest payment date), to the

                                       55
<PAGE>

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 describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute a change of control and stating:

          (1)  that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this
     covenant 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.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful,

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

          (2)  deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of
     Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of the Notes 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 shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly
tendered payment in an amount equal to the purchase price for the Notes (the
"Change of Control Payment"), and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and
mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal
in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered by such
Holder, if

                                       56
<PAGE>

any; provided, that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000
or an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results
of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of
Control Payment Date.

     The Change of Control provisions described above shall be applicable
whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. The
Company shall comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act
and any other securities laws or regulations to the extent those laws and
regulations are applicable to any Change of Control Offer. If the provisions of
any of the applicable securities laws or securities regulations conflict with
the provisions of this Section 4.15, the Company shall comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of the compliance.

     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 Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company
and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of
Control Offer. The provisions under this Indenture relating to the Company's
obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of
Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a
at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 4.16.  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,
however, that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into a
sale and leaseback transaction if:

     (1)  the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, 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 Adjusted Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio
               test set forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.09 hereof; or

                    (b)  incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to
               the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof;

     (2)  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) of the property that is the subject of the sale and leaseback
transaction; and

     (3)  the transfer of assets in the sale and leaseback transaction is
permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in
compliance with, Section 4.10 hereof.

Section 4.17.  Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Capital Stock of Restricted
               Subsidiaries.

     The Company:

               (1)  shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any
     Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary of the

                                       57
<PAGE>

     Company to any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted
     Subsidiary of the Company); and

               (2)  shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue
     any of its Equity Interests (other than, if necessary, shares of its
     Capital Stock constituting directors' qualifying shares) to any Person
     other than to the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the
     Company, unless, in each such case:

                         (a)  as a result of such transfer, conveyance, sale,
               lease or other disposition or issuance, such Restricted
               Subsidiary no longer constitutes a Subsidiary; and

                         (b)  the cash Net Proceeds from such transfer,
               conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition or issuance are
               applied in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance or sale of shares of Capital
Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company will not violate the
provisions of the immediately preceding sentence if such shares are issued or
sold in connection with (x) the formation or capitalization of a Restricted
Subsidiary or (y) a single transaction or a series of substantially
contemporaneous transactions whereby such Restricted Subsidiary becomes a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company by reason of the acquisition of securities
or assets from another Person.

Section 4.18.  Limitation on Issuances of Guarantees of Indebtedness.

     The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or
indirectly, to Guarantee or pledge any assets to secure the payment of any other
Indebtedness of the Company unless such Subsidiary simultaneously executes and
delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture governing the Notes
providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the Notes by such Subsidiary,
which Guarantee shall be senior to or pari passu with such Subsidiary's
Guarantee of or pledge to secure such other Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Guarantee by a Subsidiary of the Notes shall provide by its terms
that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon
any sale, exchange or transfer, to any Person other than a Subsidiary of the
Company, of all of the Company's stock in, or all or substantially all the
assets of, such Subsidiary, which sale, exchange or transfer is made in
compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture. The form of such
Guarantee is attached as Exhibit F hereto.

Section 5.01.  Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.

     The Company shall not:

     (a)  consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not the Company is the
surviving corporation); or

     (b)  sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related
transactions, to another corporation, Person or entity, unless:

          (i)   either (A) the Company is the surviving corporation; or (B) the
     entity or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
     merger (if other than the Company) or to which the sale, assignment,
     transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a
     corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any
     state thereof or the District of Columbia;

          (ii)  the entity or Person formed by or surviving any such
     consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or the entity or Person
     to which the sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
     disposition shall have been made assumes all the Obligations of the Company
     under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture in
     a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

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

          (iv)  except in the case of (A) a merger of the Company with or into a
     Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (B) a merger entered
     into solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another
     jurisdiction:

     (x)  in the case of a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the
surviving corporation, the Company's Debt to Adjusted Consolidated Cash Flow
Ratio at the time of the transaction, after giving pro forma effect to the
transaction as of such date for balance sheet purposes and as if the transaction
had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended four full fiscal
quarter period of the Company for which internal financial statements are
available for income statement purposes, would have been less than the Company's
Debt to Adjusted Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio for the same period without giving
pro forma effect to such transaction, or

     (y)  in the case of any other such transaction, the Debt to Adjusted
Consolidated Cash Flow of the entity or Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which the sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been

transaction as of such date for balance sheet purposes and as if such
transaction had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended four full
fiscal quarter period of such entity or Person for which internal financial
statements are available for income statement purposes, would have been less
than the Company's Debt to Adjusted Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio for the same
period without giving pro forma effect to such transaction; provided that for
purposes of determining the Debt to Adjusted Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio of any
entity or Person for purposes of this clause (d) the entity or Person will be
substituted for the Company in the definition of Debt to Adjusted Consolidated
Cash Flow Ratio and the defined terms included therein under Section 4.09
hereof.

Section 5.02.  Successor Corporation Substituted.

     Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease,
conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the successor corporation formed
by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which
such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made
shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of
such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the
provisions of this Indenture referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to
the successor corporation and not to the Company), and may exercise every right
and

                                       59
<PAGE>

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 6
                             DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01.  Events of Default.

     Each of the following constitutes an Event of Default:

          (1)  default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the
     Notes;

          (2)  default in payment when due of the principal of or premium, if
     any, on the Notes;

          (3)  failure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with
     the provisions described under Article 5 hereof or failure by the Company
     to consummate a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer in accordance
     with the provisions of this Indenture;

          (4)  failure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for 30 days
     after notice by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
     principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class, to
     comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture or the Notes;

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

                    (a)  is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium,
          if any, or interest on the Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the
          grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of the default
          (a "Payment Default"); or

                    (b)  results in the acceleration of the Indebtedness prior
          to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any
          such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other
          such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the
          maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $20.0 million or
          more;

          (6)  failure by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries to
     pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $20.0 million, which judgments
     are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; or

          (7)  the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to or
     within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

                    (a)  commences a voluntary case,

                                       60
<PAGE>

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

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

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

                           (e)     generally is not paying its debts as they
                  become due; or

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

                           (a)     is for relief against the Company or any of
                  its Restricted Subsidiaries in an involuntary case;

                           (b)     appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of
                  its Restricted Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all of
                  the property of the Company or any of its Restricted
                  Subsidiaries; or

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

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

Section 6.02.     Acceleration.

         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. Upon any such
declaration, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest if any, on such
Notes shall become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 hereof
occurs with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, all
outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately 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.

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 of, 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

                                       61
<PAGE>

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 an 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 of Notes 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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Note, on or after the respective due

                                       62
<PAGE>

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) occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and
as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of
principal of, premium, if any, 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 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 of Notes 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

                                       63
<PAGE>

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

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

Section 6.11.     Undertaking for Costs.

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

                                    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 person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

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

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

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

         (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

                                       64
<PAGE>

               (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 the document.

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

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

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

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

         (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 against the costs, expenses and liabilities
that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

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

                                       65
<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
known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the
Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case
of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, 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 1 beginning with the May 1 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 (s) 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA (s)
313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no
report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA (s) 313(b).
The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA (s)
313(c).

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

Section 7.07.     Compensation and Indemnity.

         The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation 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 the Trustee against any and all losses,
liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the
costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including

                                       66
<PAGE>

this Section 7.07) 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 may be attributable to its
negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any
claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company
shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The
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.

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

                                       67
<PAGE>

         If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, 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 who has been a
Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

         A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property
held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the
Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section
7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement 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 $75 million
as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

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

Section 7.11.     Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

         The Trustee is subject to TIA (s) 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA (s) 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been
removed shall be subject to TIA (s) 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

                                   ARTICLE 8
                   LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01.     Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

                                       68
<PAGE>

         The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a
resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate, at any time, elect to have
either Section 8.02 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 (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of
and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

         (1)   the rights of Holders 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;

         (2)   the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes under
Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;

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

         (4)   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 and clause (4) of Section
5.01 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

                                       69
<PAGE>

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(3) through 6.01(6) 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:

         (1)   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 nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable
redemption date, as the case may be;

         (2)   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
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

               (a)  the Company has received from, or there has been published
         by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

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

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

         (4)   no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing either:

               (a)  on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event
         of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such
         deposit); or

               (b)  insofar as Sections 6.01(7) or 6.01(8) hereof are concerned,
         at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of
         deposit;

                                       70
<PAGE>

         (5)  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;

         (6)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that on 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;

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

         (8)  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, 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 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, 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

                                       71
<PAGE>

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

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, 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 9
                       AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

         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 Notes:

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

         (2)  to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of
certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2 hereof (including the
related definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect any
Holder;

         (3)  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;

         (4)  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 Notes;

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

         (6)  to provide for the issuance of the Additional Notes in accordance
with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the date hereof.

                                       72
<PAGE>

         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 affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.

         Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including Section 3.09, 4.10 and
4.15 hereof) and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, voting as a single
class, (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, 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 consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or
exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 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 of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by
the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall
join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture
unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee's own
rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case
the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into
such amended or supplemental Indenture.

         It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under
this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment 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 of Notes affected thereby a
notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of
the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in
any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental
Indenture or waiver. 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):

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

                                       73
<PAGE>

         (2)  reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note
or alter or waive 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;

         (3)  reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest,
including default interest, on any Note;

         (4)  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);

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

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

         (7)  waive a redemption payment (but not any payment pursuant to
Sections 3.09, 4.10 or 4.15 hereof) with respect to any Note;

         (8)  except as provided under Article Eight hereof or in accordance
with the terms of any Note Guarantee, release any Guarantor from any of its
obligations under its Note Guarantee or make any change in a Note Guarantee that
would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes; or

         (9)  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.

                                       74
<PAGE>

         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
11.04 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.

                                  ARTICLE 10
                                NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01.  Guarantee.

         The provisions of this Article 10 shall apply only to those
Subsidiaries of the Company, if any, that execute one or more supplemental
indentures to this Indenture in the form of Exhibit E to this Indenture in
compliance with the requirements of Section 4.18 of this Indenture.

         Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and
severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns,
irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or
the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal
of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue
principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other
obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder
will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or
renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be
promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the
extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so
guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally
obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a
guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

         The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions
hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action
to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court
in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever
and covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

                                       75
<PAGE>

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

         Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of
subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed
hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof
for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of
such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or
not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors
for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to
seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such
right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.

Section 10.02.  Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

         Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of
such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes
of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any
Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders
and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such
Guarantor will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such
laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive
contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result
in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03.  Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

         To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each
Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in
the form included in Exhibit F shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor
on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture
shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President or one of its
Vice Presidents.

         Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in
Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure
to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

         If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note
Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the
Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid
nevertheless.

         The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication
thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth
in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

                                       76
<PAGE>

         In the event that the Company creates or acquires any new Subsidiaries
subsequent to the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.18 hereof,
the Company shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute supplemental indentures to
this Indenture and Note Guarantees in accordance with Section 4.18 hereof and
this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

Section 10.04.  Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

         Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05, no Guarantor may
consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the
surviving Person) another Person whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor
unless:

         (a)  subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person formed by or surviving
any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the Company)
unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to a
supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, under the Notes, the Indenture and the Note Guarantee on the terms set
forth herein or therein; and

         (b)  immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or
Event of Default exists.

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

         Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding
clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the
Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the
property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
Company or another Guarantor.

Section 10.05.  Releases Following Sale of Assets.

         In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of any
Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other
disposition of all to the capital stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a
Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) a
Subsidiary of the Company, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other
disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital
stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event
of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such
Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note
Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are
applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture,
including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof. Upon delivery by the Company
to the

                                       77
<PAGE>

Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof,
the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence
the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

         Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note
Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest
on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture
as provided in this Article 10.

[Insert the Global Note Legend, if applicable, pursuant to the provisions of the
Indenture]

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

         1. Interest. Crown Castle International Corp., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note
at 9 3/8% per annum from May 16, 2001 until maturity. The Company will pay
interest semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, or if
any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an
"Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes 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, 2001. The Company shall pay
interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium and Special Interest, 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 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 of Notes
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 2.12
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, premium on, all Global
Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer
instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such
coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

         3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, United States Trust Company
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
May 16, 2001 ("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 (S)(S)
77aaa-77bbbb) (the "Trust Indenture Act"). The Notes are subject to all such
terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of
such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express
provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling. The Notes are obligations of the Company limited to $550,000,000
million in aggregate principal amount.

         (a) Except as provided in clause (b) of this Paragraph 5, the Notes
will not be redeemable at the Company's option prior to August 1, 2006. On or
after August 1, 2006, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed

interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to

the twelve-month period beginning on August 1 of the years indicated below:

         Year                                             Percentage
         ----                                             ----------
         2006......................................        104.688%
         2007......................................        103.125%
         2008......................................        101.563%
         2009 and thereafter.......................        100.000%

         (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of this Paragraph 5,
at any time during the period after the date of the original issuance of the
Notes until August 1, 2004, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem
up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued at a
redemption price equal to 109.375% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date with the net cash proceeds of one or
more Public Equity Offerings and/or Strategic Equity Investments provided that:

         (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
originally issued remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such
redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); and

         (2) the redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing of
such Public Equity Offering 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 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 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.

         (b) If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset
Sales when the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10 million, the
Company shall commence an offer to all Holders of Notes (as "Asset Sale Offer")
pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal
amount of Notes 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 tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale

                                      A-3
<PAGE>

Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company (or such Restricted
Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by
the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes 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 of Notes 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, 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 principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent
of any Holder of Notes, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or
supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or 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, 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, or to
comply with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission 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, (iii) failure
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with Section 3.09, 4.10,
4.15 or 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries for 30 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to
comply with certain other agreements in the Indenture or the Notes; (v) default
under certain other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company which
default (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or
interest on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period
provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default or (b) results in the
acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; (vi) certain
final judgments for the payment of money that remain undischarged for a period
of 60 days; and (vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with

                                      A-4
<PAGE>

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. 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.

         16. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a
Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (=
tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship
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
CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers
in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made
as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a
copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to: Crown Castle International
Corp., 510 Bering Drive, Suite 500, Houston, Texas 77057, Attention: Chief
Financial Officer.

                           of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the
                           event of any declaration of acceleration of such
                           obligations as provided in Article 6 of the
                           Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and
                           payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by
                           the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note
                           Guarantee.

                           contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as
                           the exercise of such right does not impair the rights

                           collections from, rights to receive contribution from

<PAGE>

                           Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture shall
                           result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its
                           Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer
                           or conveyance.

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

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

             (a) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not consolidate with or merge
                 with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving
                 Person) another corporation, Person or entity whether or not
                 affiliated with such Guarantor unless:

                 (i)  subject to Section 10.05 of the Indenture, the Person
                      formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
                      (if other than a Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally
                      assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to
                      a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably
                      satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, the
                      Indenture and the Note Guarantee on the terms set forth
                      herein or therein; and

                 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
                      Default or Event of Default exists.

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

             (c) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of the Indenture, and
                 notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in
                 the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any
                 consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company
                 or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance
                 of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially
                 as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

         5.  Releases.

             (a) In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the
                 assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or
                 otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all to the capital
                 stock of any Guarantor, then such Guarantor (in the event of a
                 sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or
                 otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Guarantor) or
                 the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale
                 or

                                      E-3
<PAGE>

                  other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
                  such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any
                  obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided that the Net
                  Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in
                  accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture,
                  including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture.
                  Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers'
                  Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
                  sale or other disposition was made by the Company in
                  accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including
                  without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Trustee
                  shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to
                  evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations
                  under its Note Guarantee.

             (b)  Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note
                  Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal
                  of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of
                  any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 10 of
                  the Indenture.

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

         7.  New York Law to Govern. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

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

         9.  Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience
only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

         10. The Trustee.  The Trustee shall not be responsible in any
manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this
Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein,
all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the
Company.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental
Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the date first above
written.
