                                    Guarantee

     SECTION 2.01. Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly
with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as
a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations. Each
Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in
whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will
remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any
Obligation. Each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and
protest to the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the Obligations, and
also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for
nonpayment.

     SECTION 2.02. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its
guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of
collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment
of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the
books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the
Borrower or any other person.

     SECTION 2.03. No Limitations, etc. (a) Except for termination of a
Guarantor's obligations hereunder as expressly provided for in Section 7.14, the
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of
waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject
to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by
reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or
otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of
each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise
affected by:

          (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or
     any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or
     enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or
     otherwise;

          (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any
     release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any
     other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this
     Agreement;

          (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the
     exchange, substitution, release or any impairment of, any security held by
     the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations;

          (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the
     performance of the Obligations;

          (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to
     any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a
     discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the
     indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations),

                                      -5-

          (vi) any illegality, lack of validity or enforceability of any
     Obligation,

          (vii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of
     the Borrower, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other
     similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or its assets or any resulting
     release or discharge of any Obligation,

          (viii) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that the
     Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, the Collateral Agent,
     or any other corporation or person, whether in connection herewith or any
     unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein will prevent the
     assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim,

          (ix) and any other circumstance (including without limitation, any
     statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any
     representation by the Collateral Agent that might otherwise constitute a
     defense to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower or the
     Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety.

Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold
security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive
or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce
or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in
their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other
guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without
affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.

          (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor
     waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower
     or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any
     part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the
     liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the
     indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. The Collateral
     Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on
     any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or
     nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of
     foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any
     other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise
     any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any
     other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability
     of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been
     fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent
     permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out
     of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to
     applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or
     subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower
     or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

     SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee
hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or otherwise.

                                      -6-

     SECTION 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the
foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue
hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any
Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby
promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Collateral Agent
for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in cash the amount of such
unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Collateral
Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower, or
other Loan Party or any other Guarantor arising as a result thereof by way of
right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall
in all respects be subject to Article VI.

     SECTION 2.06. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for
being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets of the
Borrower and each other Loan Party, and of all other circumstances bearing upon
the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of
the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none
of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to
advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such
circumstances or risks.

     SECTION 2.07. Maximum Liability. Anything herein or in any other Loan
Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each
Guarantor (other than Holdings and the Borrower) hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by
such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the
insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution
established in Section 6.02).

                                  ARTICLE III.

                              Pledge of Securities

     SECTION 3.01. Pledge. As security for the payment or performance, as the
case may be, in full of the Obligations, each Pledgor hereby assigns and pledges
to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of
the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors
and assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest
in all of such Pledgor's right, title and interest in, to and under (a) the
Equity Interests owned by it as of the Closing Date (which shall be listed on
Schedule II) and any other Equity Interests obtained in the future by such

such Equity Interests would violate applicable law or any contractual obligation
binding upon such Subsidiary and (B) such law or obligation existed at the time

     SECTION 3.02. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral. (a) Each Pledgor agrees
promptly to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, any and all Pledged Stock and any and
all Pledged Debt Securities to the extent such Pledged Securities, in the case
of promissory notes or other instruments evidencing Indebtedness, are required
to be delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 3.02.

          (b) Each Pledgor will cause any Indebtedness for borrowed money having
     an aggregate principal amount in excess of $10,000,000 (other than
     intercompany current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of
     business in connection with the cash management operations of Holdings, the

     reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and by such other
     instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request
     and (ii) all other property composing part of the Pledged Collateral
     delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be accompanied to
     the extent

                                      -8-

     necessary to perfect the security interest in or allow realization on the
     Pledged Collateral by proper instruments of assignment duly executed by the
     applicable Pledgor and such other instruments or documents (including
     issuer acknowledgments in respect of uncertificated securities) as the
     Collateral Agent may reasonably request. Each delivery of Pledged
     Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the securities,
     which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule II and made a part
     hereof; provided that failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not
     affect the validity of such pledge of such Pledged Securities. Each
     schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered.

     SECTION 3.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Pledgors,
jointly and severally, represent, warrant and covenant to and with the
Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, that:

          (a) Schedule II correctly sets forth the percentage of the issued and
     outstanding shares of each class of the Equity Interests of the issuer
     thereof represented by such Pledged Stock and includes all Equity
     Interests, debt securities and promissory notes or instruments evidencing
     Indebtedness required to be pledged hereunder in order to satisfy the
     Collateral and Guarantee Requirement;

          (b) the Pledged Stock and Pledged Debt Securities (solely with respect
     to Pledged Debt Securities issued by a person that is not a Subsidiary of
     Holdings or an Affiliate of any such subsidiary, to each Pledgor's
     knowledge) have been duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuers
     thereof and (i) in the case of Pledged Stock, are fully paid and
     nonassessable and (ii) in the case of Pledged Debt Securities (solely with
     respect to Pledged Debt Securities issued by a person that is not a
     Subsidiary of Holdings or an Affiliate of any such subsidiary, to each
     Pledgor's knowledge) are legal, valid and binding obligations of the
     issuers thereof;

          (c) except for the security interests granted hereunder, each Pledgor
     (i) is and, subject to any transfers made in compliance with the Credit
     Agreement, will continue to be the direct owner, beneficially and of
     record, of the Pledged Securities indicated on Schedule II as owned by such
     Pledgor, (ii) holds the same free and ----------- clear of all Liens, other
     than Liens permitted under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, (iii) will
     make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer of, or create or
     permit to exist any security interest in or other Lien on, the Pledged
     Collateral, other than pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Credit
     Agreement and other than Liens permitted under Section 6.02 of the Credit
     Agreement and (iv) subject to the rights of such Pledgor under the Loan
     Documents to dispose of Pledged Collateral, will defend its title or
     interest hereto or therein against any and all Liens (other than Liens
     permitted under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement), however arising, of
     all persons;

          (d) except for restrictions and limitations imposed by the Loan
     Documents or securities laws generally or otherwise permitted to exist
     pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Pledged Collateral is
     and will continue to be freely transferable and assignable, and none of the
     Pledged Collateral is or will be subject to any option, right of first
     refusal, shareholders agreement, charter or by-law provisions or
     contractual

                                      -9-

     restriction of any nature that might prohibit, impair, delay or otherwise
     affect the pledge of such Pledged Collateral hereunder, the sale or
     disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by the Collateral Agent
     of rights and remedies hereunder;

          (e) each Pledgor has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged
     Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or
     contemplated;

          (f) no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority, any
     securities exchange or any other person was or is necessary to the validity
     of the pledge effected hereby (other than such as have been obtained and
     are in full force and effect);

          (g) by virtue of the execution and delivery by the Pledgors of this
     Agreement, when any Pledged Securities are delivered to the Collateral
     Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in accordance with
     this Agreement, the Collateral Agent will obtain, for the ratable benefit
     of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and perfected first priority lien
     upon and security interest in such Pledged Securities as security for the
     payment and performance of the Obligations; and

          (h) the pledge effected hereby is effective to vest in the Collateral
     Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the rights of the
     Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral as set forth herein.

     SECTION 3.04. Certification of Limited Liability Company and Limited
Partnership Interests. Each interest in any limited liability company or limited
partnership controlled by any Guarantor and pledged hereunder shall be
represented by a certificate, shall to the extent permitted by applicable laws
be a "security" within the meaning of Article 8 of the New York UCC and shall be
governed by Article 8 of the New York UCC; provided, however, in the case of (a)
the limited liability company interests set forth on Schedule IV, the Borrower
shall cause such interests to be represented by a certificate, to be a
"security" within the meaning of Article 8 of the New York UCC and to be
governed by Article 8 of the New York UCC, in each case not later than 20
Business Days after the Closing Date and (b) that any limited liability company
or limited partnership that, in either case, is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary formed
or acquired after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall cause such interests to
be represented by a certificate, to be a "security" within the meaning of
Article 8 of the New York UCC and to be governed by Article 8 of the New York
UCC, in each case not later than 20 Business Days after the date of formation or
acquisition thereof, as applicable.

     SECTION 3.05. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. The Collateral
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and
absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in the name of the
applicable Pledgor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Collateral
Agent or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its
own name as pledgee or the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent).
Each Pledgor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or
other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities
registered in the name of such Pledgor. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to
exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of
smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.
Each Pledgor

                                      -10-

shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Loan Party that is
not a party to this Agreement to comply with a request by the Collateral Agent,
pursuant to this Section 3.05, to exchange certificates representing Pledged
Securities of such Loan Party for certificates of smaller or larger
denominations.

     SECTION 3.06. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest, etc. (a) Unless and
until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

          (i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting
     and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged
     Securities or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of
     this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided
     that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner that could
     materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any
     Pledged Securities, the rights and remedies of any of the Collateral Agent
     or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or
     any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise
     the same.

          (ii) The Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each
     Pledgor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Pledgor, all such
     proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Pledgor may
     reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the
     voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise
     pursuant to subparagraph (i) above.

          (iii) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
     dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or
     distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to
     the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions
     are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the
     terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
     applicable laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal
     or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Securities, whether
     resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the
     outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or
     received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in
     redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation,
     acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party
     or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if
     received by any Pledgor, shall not be commingled by such Pledgor with any
     of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart
     therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent,
     for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall be forthwith
     delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured
     Parties, in the same form as so received (endorsed in a manner reasonably
     satisfactory to the Collateral Agent).

          (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
     Default and after notice by the Collateral Agent to the relevant Pledgors
     of the Collateral Agent's intention to exercise its rights hereunder, all
     rights of any Pledgor to dividends, interest, principal or other
     distributions that such Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to
     paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.06 shall cease, and all such rights
     shall thereupon become vested, for the ratable benefit of the Secured
     Parties, in the Collateral

                                      -11-

     Agent which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to
     receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other
     distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions
     received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 3.06
     shall not be commingled by such Pledgor with any of its other funds or
     property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in
     trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of
     the Secured Parties, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral
     Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in the same form as
     so received (endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
     Agent). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by
     the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall
     be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the
     Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be
     applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02. After all Events
     of Default have been cured or waived and the Borrower has delivered to the
     Collateral Agent a certificate to that effect, the Collateral Agent shall
     promptly repay to each Pledgor (without interest) all dividends, interest,
     principal or other distributions that such Pledgor would otherwise be
     permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this
     Section 3.06 and that remain in such account.

          (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
     Default and after notice by the Collateral Agent to the relevant Pledgors
     of the Collateral Agent's intention to exercise its rights hereunder, all
     rights of any Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and
     powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this
     Section 3.06, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph
     (a)(ii) of this Section 3.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall
     thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of
     the Secured Parties, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and
     authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers;
     provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the
     Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and
     during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgors to
     exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived
     and the Borrower has delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate to
     that effect, each Pledgor shall have the right to exercise the voting
     and/or consensual rights and powers that such Pledgor would otherwise be
     entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above.

                                  ARTICLE IV.

                     Security Interests in Personal Property

     SECTION 4.01. Security Interest. (a) As security for the payment or
performance, as the case may be, in full of the Obligations, each Guarantor
hereby assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns,
for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties, a security interest (the "Security Interest") in all right,
title and interest in or to any and all of the following assets and properties
now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Guarantor or in which such
Guarantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or
interest (collectively, the "Article 9 Collateral"):

                                      -12-

          (i) all Accounts;

          (ii) all As-Extracted Collateral;

          (iii) all Chattel Paper;

          (iv) all cash and Deposit Accounts;

          (v) all Documents;

          (vi) all Equipment;

          (vii) all Fixtures;

          (viii) all General Intangibles;

          (ix) all Instruments;

          (x) all Inventory;

          (xi) all Investment Property;

          (xii) all Letter-of-Credit Rights;

          (xiii) all Commercial Tort Claims;

          (xiv) all books and records pertaining to the Article 9 Collateral;
     and

          (xv) to the extent not otherwise included, all proceeds, Supporting
     Obligations and products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral
     security and guarantees given by any person with respect to any of the
     foregoing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall
not constitute a grant of a security interest in, and "Article 9 Collateral"
shall not include, (a) any assets (including Equity Interests) with respect to
which the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement or the other paragraphs of
Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement need not be satisfied by reason of Sections
5.10(f) and 5.17 of the Credit Agreement or (b) any Letter of Credit Rights to
the extent any Guarantor is required by applicable law to apply the proceeds of
a drawing of such Letter of Credit for a specified purpose.

          (b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent
     at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any
     initial financing statements (including fixture filings), continuation
     statements, or other filings and recordings, with respect to the Article 9
     Collateral and any other collateral pledged hereunder or any part thereof
     and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9
     of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the
     filing of any financing statement or amendment, or such other information
     as may be required under applicable law including (i) whether such
     Guarantor is an organization, the type of organization and any
     organizational identification number issued to such

                                      -13-

     Guarantor, (ii) in the case of Fixtures and As-Extracted Collateral a
     sufficient description of the real property to which such Article 9
     Collateral relates and (iii) a description of collateral that describes
     such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
     determine is necessary or advisable to ensure the perfection of the
     security interest in the Article 9 Collateral or other collateral granted
     under this Agreement, including describing such property as "all assets" or
     "all property". Each Guarantor agrees to provide such information to the
     Collateral Agent promptly upon request.

     The Collateral Agent is further authorized to file with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor
office or any similar office in any other country) such documents as may be
necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing,
enforcing or protecting the Security Interest granted by each Guarantor, without
the signature of any Guarantor, and naming any Guarantor or the Guarantors as
debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party.

          (c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not
     subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way
     alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Guarantor with respect
     to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.

     SECTION 4.02. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantors jointly and
severally represent and warrant to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties
that:

          (a) Each Guarantor has good and valid rights in and title to the
     Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a
     Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to
     the Collateral Agent the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral
     pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in
     accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or
     approval of any other person other than any consent or approval that has
     been obtained and is in full force and effect.

          (b) The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and
     executed and the information set forth therein, including the exact legal
     name of each Guarantor, is correct and complete, in all material respects,
     as of the Closing Date. Uniform Commercial Code financing statements
     (including fixture filings, as applicable) or other appropriate filings,
     recordings or registrations containing a description of the Article 9
     Collateral have been prepared by the Collateral Agent based upon the
     information provided to the Collateral Agent in the Perfection Certificate
     for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in
     Schedule 7 to the Perfection Certificate (or ---------- specified by notice
     from the Borrower to the Collateral Agent after the Closing Date in the
     case of filings, recordings or registrations required by Section 5.10 of
     the Credit Agreement), and constitute all the filings, recordings and
     registrations (other than filings required to be made in the United States
     Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office in order
     to perfect the Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral consisting of
     United States Patents, United States registered Trademarks and United
     States registered Copyrights) that are necessary to publish notice of and
     protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected
     security interest in favor of the

                                      -14-

     Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) in
     respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be
     perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any
     political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no
     further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording,
     registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction,
     except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of
     continuation statements or amendments. Each Guarantor represents and
     warrants that a fully executed agreement in the form hereof (or a short
     form hereof which form shall be reasonably acceptable to the Collateral
     Agent) containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of
     Intellectual Property with respect to United States Patents (and Patents
     for which United States registration applications are pending), United
     States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States
     registration applications are pending) and United States registered
     Copyrights (and Copyrights for which United States registration
     applications are pending) has been delivered to the Collateral Agent for
     recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United
     States Copyright Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C.ss. 261, 15 U.S.C.ss. 1060 or
     17 U.S.C.ss. 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, and
     reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, to protect the validity of
     and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of
     the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in
     respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of such Intellectual
     Property in which a security interest may be perfected by recording with
     the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States
     Copyright Office, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording,
     rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than such
     actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to
     any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights
     (or registration or application for registration thereof) acquired or
     developed after the date hereof).

          (c) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security
     interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and
     performance of the Obligations, (ii) subject to the filings described in
     Section 4.02(b), a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral
     in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or
     registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United
     States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and
     possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law
     in such jurisdictions and (iii) a security interest that shall be perfected
     in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected
     upon the receipt and recording of this Agreement with the United States
     Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as
     applicable. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien
     on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than Liens expressly permitted
     pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement or arising by operation of
     law.

          (d) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Guarantors free and clear
     of any Lien, other than Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02
     of the Credit Agreement or arising by operation of law. None of the
     Guarantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing
     statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any
     other applicable laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any
     assignment in which any Guarantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any
     security

                                      -15-

     agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the
     United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright
     Office or (iii) any assignment in which any Guarantor assigns any Article 9
     Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any
     Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other
     office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment,
     security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in
     each case, for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the
     Credit Agreement.

          (e) None of the Guarantors holds any Commercial Tort Claim
     individually in excess of $1,000,000 as of the Closing Date except as
     indicated on Schedule III hereto, as such schedule may be updated or
     supplemented from time to time.

          (f) All Accounts have been originated by the Guarantors and all
     Inventory has been acquired by the Guarantors in the ordinary course of
     business.

     SECTION 4.03. Covenants. (a) Each Guarantor agrees promptly to notify the
Collateral Agent in writing of any change (i) in its corporate name, (ii) in its
identity or type of organization or corporate structure, (iii) in its Federal
Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number or (iv)
in its jurisdiction of organization. Each Guarantor agrees promptly to provide
the Collateral Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of
the changes described in the immediately preceding sentence. Each Guarantor
agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the first sentence of
this paragraph (a) unless all filings have been made under the Uniform
Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent
to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and
perfected first priority security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral, for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties. Each Guarantor agrees promptly to
notify the Collateral Agent if any material portion of the Article 9 Collateral
owned or held by such Guarantor is damaged or destroyed.

          (b) Subject to the rights of such Guarantor under the Loan Documents
     to dispose of Collateral, each Guarantor shall, at its own expense, take
     any and all actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral
     against all persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral
     Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Article 9
     Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not expressly
     permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

          (c) Each Guarantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute,
     acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further
     instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent
     may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve,
     protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies
     created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in
     connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting
     of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements
     (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or
     therewith. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the
     Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $10,000,000 shall be or become
     evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, such note or
     instrument

                                      -16-

     shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the
     ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner
     reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby
authorizes the Collateral Agent, with prompt notice thereof to the Guarantors,
to supplement this Agreement by supplementing Schedule III or adding additional
schedules hereto to specifically identify any asset or item that may constitute
Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, Copyright Licenses, Patent Licenses or
Trademark Licenses; provided that any Guarantor shall have the right,
exercisable within 30 days after it has been notified by the Collateral Agent of
the specific identification of such Article 9 Collateral, to advise the
Collateral Agent in writing of any inaccuracy of the representations and
warranties made by such Guarantor hereunder with respect to such Article 9
Collateral. Each Guarantor agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to take such action as shall be necessary in order that all
representations and warranties hereunder shall be true and correct with respect
to such Article 9 Collateral within 30 days after the date it has been notified
by the Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Article 9
Collateral.

          (d) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the
     continuance thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to verify
     under reasonable procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value,
     condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Article 9
     Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or Article 9 Collateral in
     the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors or the
     third person possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making
     such a verification. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to share any
     information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured
     Party.

          (e) At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes,
     assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances
     at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted
     pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the
     maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any
     Guarantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or this
     Agreement, and each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the
     Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any
     reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the
     foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this Section
     4.03(e) shall be interpreted as excusing any Guarantor from the performance
     of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party
     to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Guarantor with
     respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or
     other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan
     Documents.

          (f) Each Guarantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured
     Party) shall remain liable for the observance and performance of all the
     conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each
     contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral and
     each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
     the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all
     liability for such performance.

                                      -17-

               (g) None of the Guarantors shall make or permit to be made an
          assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Article 9 Collateral or
          shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Article 9 Collateral,
          except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement. None of the
          Guarantors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Article
          9 Collateral and each Guarantor shall remain at all times in
          possession of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it, except as
          permitted by the Credit Agreement.

               (h) None of the Guarantors will, without the Collateral Agent's
          prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of
          any Accounts included in the Article 9 Collateral, compromise,
          compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof,
          release, wholly or partly, any person liable for the payment thereof
          or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than
          extensions, credits, discounts, compromises or settlements granted or
          made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with prudent
          business practices or as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement.

               (i) Each Guarantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints
          the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated
          by the Collateral Agent) as such Guarantor's true and lawful agent
          (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an
          Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect
          of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the
          name of such Guarantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item
          of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for
          making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the
          event that any Guarantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or
          maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay
          any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent
          may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the
          Guarantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion,
          obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium
          and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral
          Agent reasonably deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral
          Agent in connection with this Section 4.03(i), including reasonable
          attorneys' fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating
          thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Guarantors to the
          Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.

     SECTION 4.04. Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment,
perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce,
for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent's security
interest in the Article 9 Collateral, each Guarantor agrees, in each case at
such Guarantor's own expense, to take the following actions with, respect to the
following Article 9 Collateral:

               (a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. If any Guarantor
          shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments or Tangible Chattel
          Paper evidencing an amount in excess of $5,000,000, such Guarantor
          shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral
          Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly
          executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time
          reasonably request.

                                      -18-

               (b) Cash Accounts. No Guarantor shall grant control of any
          deposit account to any Person other than the Collateral Agent and the
          bank with which the deposit account is maintained.

               (c) Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided
          in Article III, if any Guarantor shall at any time hold or acquire any
          Certificated Security, such Guarantor shall forthwith endorse, assign
          and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such
          instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the
          Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably specify. If any
          security now or hereafter acquired by any Guarantor is uncertificated
          and is issued to such Guarantor or its nominee directly by the issuer
          thereof, upon the Collateral Agent's reasonable request and following
          the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Guarantor shall promptly
          notify the Collateral Agent of such uncertificated securities and
          pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
          to the Collateral Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to
          comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such
          security, without further consent of any Guarantor or such nominee, or
          (ii) cause the issuer to register the Collateral Agent as the
          registered owner of such security. If any security or other Investment
          Property, whether certificated or uncertificated, representing an
          Equity Interest in a third party and having a fair market value in
          excess of $10,000,000 now or hereafter acquired by any Guarantor is
          held by such Guarantor or its nominee through a securities
          intermediary or commodity intermediary, such Guarantor shall promptly
          notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the Collateral Agent's
          request and option, pursuant to a Control Agreement in form and
          substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (A)
          cause such securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, as
          applicable, to agree, in the case of a securities intermediary, to
          comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the
          Collateral Agent to such securities intermediary as to such securities
          or other Investment Property or, in the case of a commodity
          intermediary, to apply any value distributed on account of any
          commodity contract as directed by the Collateral Agent to such
          commodity intermediary, in each case without further consent of any
          Guarantor or such nominee, or (B) in the case of Financial Assets or
          other Investment Property held through a securities intermediary,
          arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the entitlement holder with
          respect to such Investment Property, for the ratable benefit of the
          Secured Parties, with such Guarantor being permitted, only with the
          consent of the Collateral Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or
          otherwise deal with such Investment Property. The Collateral Agent
          agrees with each of the Guarantors that the Collateral Agent shall not
          give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any
          such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and
          shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or
          dealing rights by any Guarantor, unless an Event of Default has
          occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any such
          withdrawal or dealing rights, would occur. The provisions of this
          paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Financial Assets credited to a
          securities account for which the Collateral Agent is the securities
          intermediary.

               (d) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Guarantor shall at any time
          hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably
          estimated to exceed $10,000,000, such Guarantor shall promptly notify
          the Collateral Agent thereof in a

                                      -19-

     writing signed by such Guarantor, including a summary description of such
     claim, and grant to the Collateral Agent in writing a security interest
     therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement,
     with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
     the Collateral Agent.

     SECTION 4.05. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright
Collateral. (a) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not knowingly do any act or
omit to do any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent
its licensees from doing any act or omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent
that is material to the normal conduct of such Guarantor's business may become
prematurely invalidated or dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall
take commercially reasonable steps with respect to any material products covered
by any such Patent as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its
rights under applicable patent laws.

               (b) Each Guarantor will, and will use its commercially reasonable
          efforts to cause its licensees or its sublicensees to, for each
          material Trademark necessary to the normal conduct of such Guarantor's
          business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any
          adjudication of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain
          the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark
          consistent with the quality of such products and services as of the
          date hereof, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of federal or
          foreign registration or claim of trademark or service mark as required
          under applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit
          its licensees' use of such Trademark in violation of any third-party
          rights.

               (c) Each Guarantor will, and will use its commercially reasonable
          efforts to cause its licensees or its sublicensees to, for each work
          covered by a material Copyright necessary to the normal conduct of
          such Guarantor's business that it publishes, displays and distributes,
          use copyright notice as required under applicable copyright laws.

               (d) Each Guarantor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if
          it knows that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the
          normal conduct of such Guarantor's business may imminently become
          abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public other than by expiration,
          or of any materially adverse determination or development, excluding
          office actions and similar determinations in the United States Patent
          and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office, any court or any
          similar office of any country, regarding such Guarantor's ownership of
          any such material Patent, Trademark or Copyright or its right to
          register or to maintain the same.

               (e) Each Guarantor, either itself or through any agent, employee,
          licensee or designee, shall (i) inform the Collateral Agent on a
          semi-annual basis of each application by itself, or through any agent,
          employee, licensee or designee, for any Patent with the United States
          Patent and Trademark Office and each registration of any Trademark or
          Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the
          United States Copyright Office or any comparable office or agency in
          any other country filed during the preceding six-month period, and
          (ii) upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, execute and
          deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents

                                      -20-

          and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence
          the Collateral Agent's security interest in such Patent, Trademark or
          Copyright.

               (f) Each Guarantor shall exercise its reasonable business
          judgment consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the
          United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright
          Office or any comparable office or agency in any other country with
          respect to maintaining and pursuing each material application relating
          to any Patent, Trademark and/or Copyright (and obtaining the relevant
          grant or registration) material to the normal conduct of such
          Guarantor's business and to maintain (i) each issued Patent and (ii)
          the registrations of each Trademark and each Copyright in each case
          that is material to the normal conduct of such Guarantor's business,
          including, when applicable and necessary in such Guarantor's
          reasonable business judgment, timely filings of applications for
          renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment
          of maintenance fees, and, if any Guarantor believes necessary in its
          reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and
          cancellation proceedings against third parties.

               (g) In the event that any Guarantor knows or has reason to know
          that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or
          Copyright material to the normal conduct of its business has been or
          is about to be materially infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a
          third party, such Guarantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent
          and shall, if such Guarantor deems it necessary in its reasonable
          business judgment, promptly contact such third party, and if necessary
          in its reasonable business judgment, sue and recover damages, and take
          such other actions as are reasonably appropriate under the
          circumstances.

               (h) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each
          Guarantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all
          requisite consents or approvals from the licensor under each Copyright
          License, Patent License or Trademark License to effect the assignment
          of all such Guarantor's right, title and interest thereunder to (in
          the Collateral Agent's sole discretion) the designee of the Collateral
          Agent or the Collateral Agent.

                                   ARTICLE V.

                                    Remedies

     SECTION 5.01. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor agrees to deliver each item of
Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following
actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Article 9
Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security
Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such
Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Guarantors to the Collateral Agent or to
license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an
exclusive or a nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the
world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent
shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing
arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained) and (b)
with or without

                                      -21-

legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to
take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass
to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the
purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and,
generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the
applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall
have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell
or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private
sale or at any broker's board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon
credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate.
The Collateral Agent shall be authorized in connection with any sale of a
security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing to
restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who represent and
agree that they are purchasing such security for their own account, for
investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof. Upon
consummation of any such sale of Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.01 the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the
purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at
any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or
right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and releases
(to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and
appraisal that such Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under
any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

     The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Pledgors 10 Business Days'
written notice (which each Pledgor agrees is reasonable notice within the
meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent's intention to make any sale of
Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and
place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker's board or on a
securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to
be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be
offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held
at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places
as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.
At any such sale, the Collateral, or the portion thereof, to be sold may be sold
in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may
(in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not
be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do
so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have
been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any
public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so
adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral made on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the
Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers
thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the event
that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the
Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may be
sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions above. At any public
(or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section
5.01, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase for cash, free (to the extent
permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on
the part of any Pledgor (all such rights being also hereby waived and released
to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for
sale and such Secured Party may, upon

                                      -22-

compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property in
accordance with Section 5.02 hereof without further accountability to any
Pledgor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the
Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the
Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement
and no Pledgor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion
thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral
Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have
been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising
the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by
a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the
Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or
courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a
court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section
5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as
provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions.

     SECTION 5.02. Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall promptly
apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Collateral,
as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

               FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the
          Applicable Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with such
          collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any
          other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including all court
          costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the
          repayment of all advances made by the Applicable Agent and the
          Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf
          of any Pledgor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection
          with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other
          Loan Document;

               SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so
          applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in
          accordance with the respective amounts of the Obligations owed to them
          on the date of any such distribution); and

               THIRD, to the Pledgors, their successors or assigns, or as a
          court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of
application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this
Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including
pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding),
the receipt of the purchase money by the Collateral Agent or of the officer
making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers
of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be
obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over
to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the
misapplication thereof.

     SECTION 5.03. Grant of License To Use Intellectual Property. For the
purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under
this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled
to exercise such rights and remedies, each Guarantor hereby grants to (in the
Collateral Agent's sole discretion) a designee of the Collateral

                                      -23-

Agent or the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties,
an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to any Guarantor) to use, license or sublicense any of the
Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property (excluding Trademarks)
now owned or hereafter acquired by such Guarantor, wherever the same may be
located, and including, without limitation, in such license reasonable access to
all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to
all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof,
the right to prosecute and maintain all intellectual property and the right to
sue for past infringement of the intellectual property. The use of such license
by the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent,
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided
that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral
Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Guarantors
notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

     SECTION 5.04. Securities Act, etc. In view of the position of the Pledgors
in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future
circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or
hereafter in effect, or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted analogous
in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time
in effect being called the "Federal Securities Laws") with respect to any
disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor
understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly
limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were
to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might
also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee
of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be
other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any
attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable
Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or
effect. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions
and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a)
may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the
purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been
filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky
or other state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single
potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees
that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the
seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the
event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or
liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that
the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith
deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a
substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred
until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were
approached. The provisions of this Section 5.04 will apply notwithstanding the
existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales
prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

     SECTION 5.05. Registration, etc. Each Pledgor agrees that, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if for any reason
the Collateral Agent desires to sell any of the Pledged Collateral at a public
sale, it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of
the Collateral Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or to
cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to take such action and prepare,

                                      -24-

distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the
reasonable opinion of counsel for the Collateral Agent to permit the public sale
of such Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor further agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each other Secured Party, any
underwriter and their respective officers, directors, affiliates and controlling
persons from and against all loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel
(including reasonable fees and expenses to the Collateral Agent of legal
counsel), and claims (including the costs of investigation) that they may incur
insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon
any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or
any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering
circular, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
in any thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused
by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing
to such Pledgor or the issuer of such Pledged Collateral by the Collateral Agent
or any other Secured Party expressly for use therein. Each Pledgor further
agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such
Pledged Collateral to qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Collateral
under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such states as may be reasonably
requested by the Collateral Agent and keep effective, or cause to be kept
effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Each Pledgor will
bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section
5.05. Each Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for
failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.05 only and that
such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages and, therefore,
agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 5.05 may be specifically
enforced.

                                  ARTICLE VI.

                    Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

     SECTION 6.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of
indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but
subject to Section 6.03), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment
shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement in respect of any Obligation
of the Borrower, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount
of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the
person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment
and (b) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part an
Obligation of the Borrower, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor in an
amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the
assets so sold.

     SECTION 6.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor (other than
Holdings and the Borrower) (a "Contributing Guarantor") agrees (subject to
Section 6.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor
(other than Holdings and the Borrower) hereunder in respect of any Obligation or
assets of any other Guarantor (other than Holdings and the Borrower) shall be
sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any
Secured Party and such other Guarantor (the "Claiming Guarantor") shall not have
been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 6.01, the
Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal
to the amount of such

                                      -25-

payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such
assets, as applicable, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the net worth of such Contributing Guarantor on the date
hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the
Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party
hereto pursuant to Section 7.15, the date of the supplement hereto executed and
delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a
Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be subrogated to the
rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 6.01 to the extent of such
payment.

     SECTION 6.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 6.01 and
6.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation of the
Pledgor under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part
of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 6.01
and 6.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise)
shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with
respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for
the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

               (b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that all Indebtedness and other
          monetary obligations owed by it to any other Guarantor or any
          Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in
          full in cash of the Obligations.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                                  Miscellaneous

     SECTION 7.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall
(except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as
provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices
hereunder to any Subsidiary Party shall be given to it in care of the Borrower,
with such notice to be given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit
Agreement.

     SECTION 7.02. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the security interest in the Pledged
Collateral and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the
Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of
the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the
foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver
of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or
non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or
waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or
guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any
Pledgor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.

                                      -26-

     SECTION 7.03. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall
become effective as to any party to this Agreement when a counterpart hereof
executed on behalf of such party shall have been delivered to the Administrative
Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the
Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such party and the
Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and
shall inure to the benefit of such party, the Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except
that no party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such
assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this
Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a
separate agreement with respect to each party and may be amended, modified,
supplemented, waived or released with respect to any party without the approval
of any other party and without affecting the obligations of any other party
hereunder.

     SECTION 7.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and
agreements by or on behalf of any Pledgor or the Collateral Agent that are
contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective permitted successors and assigns.

     SECTION 7.05. Collateral Agent's Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a)
The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 9.05 of
the Credit Agreement.

               (b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under
          the other Loan Documents, each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to
          indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined
          in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each
          Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
          liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees,
          charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any
          Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, (i)
          the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other
          Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or
          thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their
          respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the
          Transactions and other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use
          of proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit or (iii)
          any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
          the foregoing, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is
          a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
          Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
          damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of
          competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
          resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
          Indemnitee.

               (c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be
          additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security
          Documents. The provisions of this Section 7.05 shall remain operative
          and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this
          Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the
          transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the

                                      -27-

          Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
          provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
          investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any
          other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 7.05 shall be
          payable on written demand therefor.

     SECTION 7.06. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor
hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor for
the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any
action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary
or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable
and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in
the Collateral Agent's name or in the name of such Pledgor, (a) to receive,
endorse, assign or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money
orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part
thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give
discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to ask for, demand,
sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to
become due under and by virtue of any Collateral; (d) to sign the name of any
Pledgor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (e)
to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (f) to commence and
prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any
court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of
the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (g) to
settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings
relating to all or any of the Collateral; (h) to notify, or to require any
Guarantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral
Agent; and (i) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with
respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all
other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as
fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of
the Collateral for all purposes; provided, that nothing herein contained shall
be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any
commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment
received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or
to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the
moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby.
The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for
amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to
them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents
shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder,
except for their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

     SECTION 7.07. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     SECTION 7.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Applicable
Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any
right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right,
power or remedy, or any abandonment

                                      -28-

or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy, preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or
remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this
Section 7.08, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default,
regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender
or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of
Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall
entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances.

               (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
          waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or
          agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the
          Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver,
          amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required
          in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.

     SECTION 7.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY
HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT,
IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.09.

     SECTION 7.10. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

     SECTION 7.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when
taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as
provided in Section 7.03.

                                      -29-

Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission
shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

     SECTION 7.12. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

     SECTION 7.13. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each party
to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and
its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document against any Pledgor, or its properties, in the courts of
any jurisdiction.

               (b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and
          unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and
          effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to
          the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
          or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any New
          York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby
          irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
          defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
          proceeding in any such court.

     SECTION 7.14. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement, the guarantees
made herein, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted
hereby shall terminate when all the Loan Document Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Lenders have no further commitment to
lend under the Credit Agreement, the Revolving L/C Exposure has been reduced to
zero and each Issuing Bank has no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit
under the Credit Agreement.

               (b) A Subsidiary Party shall automatically be released from its
          obligations hereunder and the security interests in the Collateral of
          such Subsidiary Party shall be automatically released upon the
          consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a
          result of which such Subsidiary Party ceases to be a Subsidiary of
          Holdings; provided that the Required Lenders shall -------- have
          consented to such transaction (to the extent such consent is required
          by the Credit Agreement).

               (c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Pledgor of any
          Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement to any person
          that is not a Pledgor, or upon

                                      -30-

          the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the
          security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section
          9.08 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral
          shall be automatically released.

               (d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to
          paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.14, the Collateral Agent
          shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor, at such Pledgor's, expense
          all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence
          such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents
          pursuant to this Section 7.14 shall be without recourse to or warranty
          by the Collateral Agent.

     SECTION 7.15. Additional Subsidiaries. Upon execution and delivery by the
Collateral Agent and any Subsidiary that is required to become a party hereto by
Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement of an instrument in the form of Exhibit I
hereto, such subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Party hereunder with the same
force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Party herein. The

any other party to this Agreement. The rights and obligations of each party to
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the
addition of any new party to this Agreement.

and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such
Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of any party to
this Agreement against any of and all the obligations of such party now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement owed to such Lender or such Issuing
Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have
made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be
unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 7.16 are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender
or such Issuing Bank may have.

                                                            Collateral Agreement

     SUPPLEMENT NO. __ dated as of (this "Supplement"), to the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement dated as of July 30, 2004 (the "Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement"), among FC 2 CORP., a Delaware corporation ("Holdings"), FOUNDATION
COAL CORPORATION, a Delaware Corporation ("Acquisition Corp."), S2 ACQUISITION
CORP., a Delaware Corporation (which, on the Closing Date, shall be merged with
and into, Foundation PA Coal Company, the "Borrower"), each Domestic Subsidiary
of Borrower identified herein (each, a "Subsidiary Party") and CITICORP NORTH
AMERICA, INC. ("CNAI"), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the "Collateral
Agent") for the Secured Parties.

     A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of July 30, 2004 (as
amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Credit Agreement"), among Holdings, Acquisition Corp., the Borrower, the
lenders party thereto from time to time (the "Lenders"), CNAI as Administrative
Agent and as Collateral Agent for the Lenders, UBS AG, STAMFORD BRANCH, BEAR

     B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement referred to therein.

     C. The Guarantors have entered into the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and each Issuing Bank to issue
Letters of Credit. Section 7.15 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
provides that additional Subsidiaries may become Subsidiary Parties under the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in
the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the "New Subsidiary")
is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit
Agreement to become a Subsidiary Party under the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and each
Issuing Bank to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for
Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.

     Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.15 of the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Party
and a Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with the same force
and effect as if originally named therein as a Subsidiary Party and a Guarantor,
and the New

                                       2

Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Subsidiary Party and Guarantor
thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and
warranties made by it as a Guarantor thereunder are true and correct, in all
material respects, on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in
full of the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement),
does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and
assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and
assigns, a security interest in and Lien on all the New Subsidiary's right,
title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement) of the New Subsidiary. Each reference to a "Subsidiary
Party" or a "Guarantor" in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be
deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is
hereby incorporated herein by reference.

     SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and
binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject
to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization,
fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii)
implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

     SECTION 3. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall
constitute but one contract. This Supplement shall become effective when (a) the
Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears
the signature of the New Subsidiary and (b) the Collateral Agent has executed a
counterpart hereof.

     SECTION 4. The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that (a) set
forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the
location of any and all Article 9 Collateral of the New Subsidiary, (b) set
forth on Schedule II attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of all the
Pledged Securities of the New Subsidiary and (c) set forth under its signature
hereto, is the true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, its
jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office.

     SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

     SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
UNDER THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     SECTION 7. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity,

                                       3

legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in
the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to
replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions
the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.

     SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and
given as provided in Section 7.01 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

     SECTION 9. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for
its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement,
including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for
the Collateral Agent.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent have duly
executed this Supplement to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as of the day
and year first above written.

for such period to the Fixed Charges of such Person for such period. In the
event that the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs,

being calculated and on or prior to the date on which the event for which the
calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the "Calculation Date"),
then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated giving pro forma effect
to such incurrence, assumption, Guarantee, repayment, repurchase, redemption,
defeasance or other discharge of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or
redemption of preferred equity, and the use of the proceeds therefrom, as if the
same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter reference
period.

          In addition, for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio, Asset Acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and
discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), and any related
financing transactions, that the specified Person or any of its Restricted

Inden-

                                      -12-

ture and during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such
reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date
shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Asset
Acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and discontinued operations
(and the change of any associated Fixed Charges and the change in Consolidated
Cash Flow resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter
reference period, including any pro forma expense and cost reductions and other
operating improvements that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur,
in the reasonable judgment of the chief financial officer of the Company
(regardless of whether these cost savings or operating improvements could then
be reflected in pro forma financial statements in accordance with Regulation S-X
promulgated under the Securities Act or any other regulation or policy of the
SEC related thereto). Any Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary on the
Calculation Date will be deemed to have been a Restricted Subsidiary at all
times during such four-quarter period, and if, since the beginning of the
four-quarter reference period, any Person that subsequently became a Restricted
Subsidiary or was merged with or into Holdings or any of its other Restricted
Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any acquisition,
Investment, disposition, merger, consolidation or discontinued operation, in
each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have
required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio shall be adjusted giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if
such Asset Acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger or
consolidation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter
reference period. Any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary on the
Calculation Date will be deemed not to have been a Restricted Subsidiary at any
time during such four-quarter period.

          For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be
given to any transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith
by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company. If any
Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma
effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in
effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire
period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such
Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12
months). Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an
interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting
officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease
Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation
referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit
facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average
daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on
Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a
factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or
other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen,
or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may
designate. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate,
in the reasonable determination of the Company as set forth in an Officers'
Certificate, to reflect operating expense reductions reasonably expected to
result from any acquisition or merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the
purposes of calculating Consolidated Cash Flow in order to determine the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio, the Company may include in the calculation the results of
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the duration of the Cumberland
Shutdown of such four-quarter period during which the Cumberland Shutdown
occurred or was continuing Holdings' good faith estimate (as set forth in an
Officer's Certificate

                                      -13-

delivered to the Trustee) of the amount of Consolidated Cash Flow that Holdings
would have generated from Holdings' Cumberland Mine during the period of the
Cumberland Shutdown in excess of what was actually generated had the Cumberland
Shutdown (and the related start-up inefficiencies) not occurred, which addition
to Consolidated Cash Flow for the quarter from January 1, 2004 to March 31, 2004
is deemed to be $20.2 million and for the quarter from April 1, 2004 to June 30,
2004 is deemed to be $10.9 million.

          "Fixed Charges" means, with respect to any specified Person for any

     interest payments, the interest component of any deferred payment
     obligations (classified as Indebtedness under the Indenture), the interest
     component of all payments associated with Capital Lease Obligations and net
     of the effect of all payments made or received pursuant to Hedging
     Obligations in respect of interest rates; plus

          (2) the consolidated interest expense of such Person and its
     Restricted Subsidiaries that was capitalized during such period; plus

          (3) all cash dividend payments or other cash distributions on any
     series of preferred equity of such Person and all other dividend payments

          (4) interest income.

the "Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System" and "Terms and Conditions
Governing Use of Euroclear" and the "General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream
Banking" and "Customer Handbook" of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers
of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the
Regulation S Permanent Global Note that are held by Participants through
Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

          At least one Officer must 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 will nevertheless be valid.

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

          The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company
signed by two Officers of the Company (an "Authentication Order"), authenticate
Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture,
including any Additional Notes and any Exchange Notes. The aggregate principal
amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal
amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more
Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 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 will 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 will 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 will notify
the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this
Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
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.

                                      -36-

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

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

          The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of
Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal, premium or Additional Interest, 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) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a
Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will 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 will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

          The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee
is not the Registrar, the Company will 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 Section 312(a).

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.

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

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

          (2) the Company in its sole discretion determine that the Global Notes
     (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and
     deliver a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; provided that in no
     event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Note be exchanged by the
     Company for Definitive Notes prior to (A) the ex-

                                      -37-

     piration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of
     any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the
     Securities Act; or

          (3) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with
     respect to the Notes.

          Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (1) or (2)
above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall
instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole
or in part, as provided in Sections 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 will be
effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted
Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set
forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of
beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with
either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of
the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

          (1) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.
     Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to
     Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
     the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer
     restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided, however,
     that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of
     beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary 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)(1).

          (2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in
     Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial
     interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(1) above, the transferor
     of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either:

               (A)  both:

                    (i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect

               in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial
               interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

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

               (B)  both:

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

                    (ii) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar
               containing information regarding the Person in whose name such
               Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or
               exchange referred to in (1) above;

               provided, that in no event shall Definitive Notes be issued upon
               the transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in the
               Regulation S Temporary Global Note prior to (A) the expiration of
               the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any
               certificates required pursuant to Rule 903 under the Securities
               Act.

     Upon consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer by the Company in
     accordance with Section 2.06(f) hereof, the requirements of this Section
     2.06(b)(2) shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon receipt by the
     Registrar of the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal
     delivered by the Holder of such beneficial interests in the Restricted
     Global 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(h) hereof.

          (3) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global
     Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be
     transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
     beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer
     complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2) above and the
     Registrar receives the following:

               (A) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a
          beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, then the transferor must

     Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note. A

     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)(2) above and:

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

          Statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement;

               (C) such transfer is effected by a Broker-Dealer pursuant to the

          including the certifications in item (1)(c) thereof; or

               (ii) if the Holder of such Definitive Notes proposes to transfer

          a beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate
          from such Holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the
          certifications in item (4) thereof;

     and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (D), if the Registrar

     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.

          Upon satisfaction of the conditions of any of the subparagraphs in

the applicable Unrestricted Definitive Note and increase or cause to be
increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Unrestricted Global
Notes.

          If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a
beneficial interest is effected pursuant to subparagraphs (2)(B), (2)(D) or (3)
above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the
Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance

the provisions of this Section 2.06(e), the Registrar will register the transfer

     NOR THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE SHALL
     BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE PAYMENT OF INTEREST HEREON."

          (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 will 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 will be
reduced accordingly and an endorsement will 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 will be increased accordingly and
an endorsement will 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.

          (1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company
will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes
upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof
or at the Registrar's request.

          (2) No service charge will 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

                                      -50-

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, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof).

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

          (4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration
of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will 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.

          (5) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will 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 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.

          (6) 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.

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

          (8) 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 will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee's
requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an

                                      -51-

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 their expenses in replacing a Note.

          Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and
will 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 2.08 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(a) 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 protected 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 will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will 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 any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any
Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the
purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any
such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee knows are so owned will 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,
will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the
form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasona-

                                      -52-

bly acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will
prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for
temporary Notes.

          Holders of temporary Notes will 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 will forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of
such canceled Notes in its customary manner (subject to the record retention
requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all
canceled Notes will 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, they
will 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 will 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 will fix or cause to be fixed each such
special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date
may 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) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states
the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such
interest to be paid.

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers.

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

                                      -53-

                            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 must 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;

          (4) the redemption price; and

          (5) applicable CUSIP Numbers.

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

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

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

          (2) if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange,
     on a pro rata basis.

          In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular
Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided
herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by
the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

          The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and
portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of
$1,000; provided that no Notes of $1,000 or less shall 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.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

          (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption
date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice
of redemption to each

                                      -54-

Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that
redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if
the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11
hereof.

          The notice will identify the Notes (including CUSIP Numbers) to be
redeemed and will 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 will 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 will give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at their expense; provided, however, that
the Company has 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.

          One Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company will
deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all
Notes to be redeemed on that date. The

                                      -55-

Trustee or the Paying Agent will 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 and
Additional 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 will cease to accrue on
the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed
on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest
payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person
in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record
date. If any Note called for redemption is not 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 will
issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will
authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in
principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered.

this Indenture.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

          The Company will 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 will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company
fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

          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 will in any manner relieve the
Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any
change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 4.03 Reports.

          (a) So long as any Notes are outstanding, Holdings shall file with the
SEC, to the extent such submissions are accepted for filing by the SEC, and

     contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q; and

          (2) all annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC
     on Form 10-K if Holdings were required to file reports;

as if Holdings were required to file such forms.

          Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is
for informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of such shall not
constitute constructive notice

                                      -58-

of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers'
Certificates).

accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports.
Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on Holdings' consolidated
financial statements by Holdings' independent accountants.

          If, at any time after consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer
contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is no longer
subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any
reason, Holdings will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the
preceding paragraph with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless
the SEC will not accept such a filing.

          (b) For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time they
are not required to file with the SEC the reports required by paragraph (a) of
this Section 4.03, the Company and the Guarantors will furnish to the Holders
and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the
information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, such requirements shall be deemed
satisfied prior to the commencement of the Registered Exchange Offer or the
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement by the filing with the
Commission of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and/or Shelf
Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto, with such financial
information that satisfied Regulation S-X of the Securities Act; provided that
in order for such requirements to be deemed satisfied, any such Registration
Statement must contain quarterly information for the period ended September 30,
2004 as required by Regulation S-X no later than November 30, 2004.

Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate.

          (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the
end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officers' Certificate stating that in
the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the
Company they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the
signers know of any Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the
certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company
is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company also shall
comply with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA.

          (b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will
deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default
or Event of Default, an Officers' Certificate specifying such Default or Event
of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto.

     Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the

time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

          (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
     would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

          (B) Holdings would, after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such
     Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable

     additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test
     set forth in Section 4.09(a); and

          end of the Holding's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which
          internal financial statements are available at the time of such
          Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such
          period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit); plus

               (ii) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds, including cash and the

          after the date of this Indenture is sold for cash or otherwise
          liquidated or repaid for cash, 100% of the aggregate amount received

          merged into, consolidated or amalgamated with or into, or transfers or
          conveys its assets to, Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary of

          (1) the payment of any dividend or distribution or the consummation of
     any redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend

Section 4.08 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

          (a) Holdings will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become
effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any
Restricted Subsidiary to:

     acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any
     Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person,

     Indenture to be incurred;

          (5) non-assignment provisions or subletting restrictions in contracts,

Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Equity.

          (a) Holdings will not, and will 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 Holdings will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred equity;
provided, however, that Holdings may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired
Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and the Company or any other Restricted
Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue preferred
equity, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for Holdings' most recently ended
four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available
immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred
or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred equity is issued, as the case may
be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis
(including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the
additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the
preferred equity had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such
four-quarter period.

          (b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit the
incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively,
"Permitted Debt"):

          (1) the incurrence by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     of additional Indebtedness and letters of credit and bankers' acceptances
     thereunder under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any
     one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being
     deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability
     of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed
     $920.0 million;

          (2) the incurrence by Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries of
     Indebtedness to the extent outstanding on the date of this Indenture;

          (3) the incurrence by Holdings and the Guarantors (including any
     future Guarantor) of Indebtedness represented by the notes and the related
     Note Guarantees to be issued on the date of this Indenture and the exchange
     notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the
     Registration Rights Agreement;

          (4) the incurrence by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage
     financings, industrial revenue

                                      -67-

     bonds, purchase money obligations or other Indebtedness or preferred stock,
     or synthetic lease obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of
     financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design,
     development, construction, installation or improvement of property (real or
     personal and including Capital Stock), plant or equipment used in the
     business of Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (in each case,
     whether through the direct purchase of such assets or the Equity Interests
     of any Person owning such assets), in an aggregate principal amount not to
     exceed at any time outstanding the greater of (x) $75.0 million and (y)
     5.0% of Total Assets;

          (5) the incurrence by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds
     of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or
     discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was
     permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) hereof or
     clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (12) or (16) of this Section 4.09(b);

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

               (A) if Holdings or any Guarantor is the obligor on such
          Indebtedness and the payee is not Holdings or a Guarantor, such
          Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in
          full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the notes, in
          the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a
          Guarantor; and

               (B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests
          that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other
          than Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings, and (ii) any
          sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is
          not either Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings, will be
          deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness
          by Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that
          was not permitted by this clause (6);

          (7) the issuance by any of Holdings' Restricted Subsidiaries to
     Holdings or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred
     equity; provided, however, that:

               (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that
          results in any such preferred equity being held by a Person other than
          Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings, and

               (B) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred equity to a
          Person that is not either Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary of
          Holdings,

     will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred
     equity by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause
     (7);

                                      -68-

          (8) the incurrence by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     of Hedging Obligations other than for speculative purposes;

          (9) the guarantee by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
     Indebtedness of Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings that was
     permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09
     (including Section 4.09(a) hereof); provided that if the Indebtedness being
     guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the
     Guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same
     extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

          (10) the incurrence by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     of Indebtedness in respect of workers' compensation claims, payment
     obligations in connection with health or other types of social security
     benefits, unemployment or other insurance or self-insurance obligations,
     reclamation, statutory obligations, bankers' acceptances, performance,
     surety or similar bonds and letters of credit or completion or performance
     guarantees (including without limitation, performance guarantees pursuant
     to coal supply agreements or equipment leases), or other similar
     obligations in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past
     practice;

          (11) the incurrence by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial
     institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn
     against insufficient funds;

          (12) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity of Persons
     that are acquired by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or
     merged into a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this
     Indenture; provided, however, that such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock
     is not incurred in contemplation of such acquisition or merger or to
     provide all or a portion of the funds or credit support required to
     consummate such acquisition or merger; provided further, however, that, for
     any such indebtedness outstanding under this clause (12) in excess of $10.0
     million on the date such Person is acquired by Holdings or a Restricted
     Subsidiary, after giving effect to such acquisition and the incurrence of
     such Indebtedness either:

               (A) Holdings would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of
          additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
          test set forth in the first sentence of this Section 4.09; or

               (B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would not be less than
          immediately prior to such acquisition;

          (13) Indebtedness incurred by a Receivables Subsidiary in a Qualified
     Receivables Financing that is not recourse to Holdings or any Restricted
     Subsidiary of Holdings other than a Receivables Subsidiary (except for
     Standard Securitization Undertakings);

          (14) the incurrence of Indebtedness arising from agreements of
     Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification,
     adjustment of purchase price, earn outs, or similar obligations, in each
     case, incurred or assumed in connection with the dis-

                                      -69-

     position or acquisition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary in
     accordance with the terms of this Indenture, other than guarantees of
     Indebtedness incurred or assumed by any Person acquiring all or any portion
     of such business, assets or Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such
     acquisition;

          (15) the incurrence by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
     of additional Indebtedness or the issuance of Disqualified Stock or
     preferred equity in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as
     applicable) or having an aggregate liquidation preference at any time
     outstanding not to exceed $100.0 million (it being understood that any
     Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity incurred pursuant to
     this clause (15) shall cease to be deemed incurred or outstanding for
     purposes of this Section 4.09 from and after the date on which Holdings
     could have incurred such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or preferred
     equity under Section 4.09(a) hereof without reliance upon this clause
     (15)); and

          (16) Contribution Indebtedness.

          The Company will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to
incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or
such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in
right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially
identical terms and Holdings will not incur any Indebtedness (including
Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any
other Indebtedness of Holdings unless such Indebtedness is also contractually
subordinated in right of payment to the Note Guarantee provided by Holdings on
substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness shall be
deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other
Indebtedness of Holdings solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of
being secured on a first or junior Lien basis.

          For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the
event that an item of proposed Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred
equity meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt
described in clauses (1) through (16) above or is entitled to be incurred
pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, Holdings will be permitted to classify such
item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity on the date of its
incurrence and will only be required to include the amount and type of such
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in one of the above
clauses, although Holdings may divide and classify an item of Indebtedness,
Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in one or more of the types of
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity and may later reclassify
all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred
equity, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. The accrual of
interest or dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount,
the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional
Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred equity as
Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of
dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in the form of additional
shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity will not be
deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock
or preferred equity for purposes of this Section 4.09; provided, in each such
case

                                      -70-

(other than preferred stock that is not Disqualified Stock), that the amount of
any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges of Holdings
as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the
maximum amount of Indebtedness that Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary may
incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as
a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

          The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

          (1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any
     Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

          (2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other
     Indebtedness; and

          (3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on
     the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

               (A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of
          determination; and

               (B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

Section 4.10 Asset Sales.

          Holdings will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

          (1) Holdings (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; and

          (2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by
     Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash
     Equivalents or Marketable Securities. For purposes of this provision, each
     of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

               (A) any liabilities of Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary
          (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their
          terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are
          assumed by the transferee of any such assets and as a result of which,
          Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary is released from further
          liability;

               (B) any securities, notes, other obligations or assets received
          by Holdings or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee
          that are converted by Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash
          or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of the receipt thereof, to the
          extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion;

                                      -71-

               (C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by Holdings or
          any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale; provided that
          the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Designated Non-cash
          Consideration, taken together with the Fair Market Value at the time
          of receipt of all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received
          pursuant to this clause (C) less the amount of Net Proceeds previously
          realized in cash from prior Designated Non-cash Consideration is less
          than the greater of (x) 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of the
          receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair
          Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being
          measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent
          changes in value) and (y) $40.0 million; and

               (D) any Capital Stock or assets of the kind referred to in clause
          (2) or (4) of the next paragraph of this Section 4.10.

          Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset
Sale, Holdings (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be)
may:

          (a) apply such Net Proceeds, at its option:

               (1) to repay (w) Indebtedness and other Obligations under a
          Credit Facility, (x) any Indebtedness that was secured by the assets
          sold in such Asset Sale, (y) other pari passu Indebtedness (provided,
          that Holdings shall also equally and ratably reduce Indebtedness under
          the Notes by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set
          forth below for an Asset Sale) to all Holders to purchase at a
          purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus
          accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, the pro
          rata principal amount of Notes), or (z) Indebtedness of a Restricted
          Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, in each case other than
          Indebtedness owed to Holdings or an Affiliate of Holdings;

               (2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any
          Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business; provided, that in the
          case of any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business
          is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings;

               (3) to make a capital expenditure; or

               (4) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current
          assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business;
          or

          (b) enter into a binding commitment to apply the Net Proceeds pursuant
     to clauses (a) (2), (3) or (4) above, provided that such binding commitment
     shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the
     date of such commitment until the earlier of (x) the date on which such
     acquisition or expenditure is consummated, and (y) the 180th day following
     the expiration of the aforementioned 365 day period.

                                      -72-

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 second paragraph of this Section 4.10 will constitute "Excess
Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million,
within ten Business Days thereof, the Company will make an offer to all holders
of Notes (an "Asset Sale Offer") and all holders of other Indebtedness that is
pari passu with the notes 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
pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The
offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but
excluding, the date of purchase and will be payable in cash. If any Excess
Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use
those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this
Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu
Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess
Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and such other pari passu
Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset
Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

          The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each
repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale
provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such
compliance.

          Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Sale
Offer is delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Excess
Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sales pursuant
to which such Asset Sale Offer is being made and (iii) the compliance of such
allocation with the provisions of Section 4.10. Upon the expiration of the
period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the "Offer Period"), the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes or portions
thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the
Company. The Trustee (or a Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date
of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of
the purchase price. In the event that the Excess Proceeds delivered by the
Company to the Trustee is greater than the purchase price of the Notes tendered,
the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Company immediately after the
expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this Section
4.10.

          Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to
surrender the Note, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase"
attached to the Note duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in
the notice at least three Business Days prior to the

                                      -73-

purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the
Trustee or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the
purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth
the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered by
the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his
election to have such Note purchased. If at the end of the Offer Period more
Notes are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Company is required
to purchase, selection of such Notes for purchase shall be made by the Trustee
in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities
exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed, or if such Notes are not so
listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall
deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal
requirements); provided that no Notes of $1,000 or less shall be purchased in
part.

          Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by first class mail,
postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date
to each Holder of Notes at such Holder's registered address. If any Note is to
be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Security
shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be purchased.

          A new Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of any
Note purchased in part shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon
cancellation of the original Note. On and after the purchase date, unless the
Company defaults in payment of the purchase price, interest shall cease to
accrue on Notes or portions thereof purchased.

Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.

          (a) Holdings will not, and will 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 of Holdings (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $1.0 million, unless:

          (1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less
     favorable to Holdings or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that
     would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Holdings or such
     Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

          (2) Holdings delivers to the Trustee:

               (A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
          related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
          excess of $5.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the
          Company certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this
          Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by
          a majority of the disinterested members, if any, of the Board of
          Directors of the Company; and

                                      -74-

               (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
          related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
          excess of $25.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company
          or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial
          point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking
          firm of national standing.

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

          (1) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or
     director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into
     by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
     business or consistent with past practice and payments pursuant thereto;

          (2) transactions (including a merger) between or among Holdings and/or
     any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

          (3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary
     of Holdings) that is an Affiliate of Holdings solely because Holdings owns,
     directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or
     controls, such Person;

          (4) payment of reasonable fees to, and indemnity provided on behalf
     of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of Holdings or any of its
     Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent company of
     Holdings;

          (5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock)
     of Holdings to Affiliates of Holdings or to any director, officer, employee
     or consultant of Holdings or any direct or indirect parent company of
     Holdings, and the granting and performance of registration rights;

          (6) Restricted Payments and Investments that do not violate Section
     4.07 hereof;

          (7) the entering into any agreement to pay, and the payment of,
     customary annual management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees to
     the Equity Investors in an amount not to exceed in any four quarter period
     the greater of (x) $5.0 million and (y) 2.0% of Consolidated Cash Flow of
     the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period and related
     expenses, or the payment of, or in respect of, an Accelerated Monitoring
     Fee Payment in an amount not to exceed $18.0 million upon an initial public
     offering of Holdings or the Company or any of their parent entities;

          (8) loans or advances to employees or consultants in the ordinary
     course of business or consistent with past practice not to exceed $2.5
     million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;

          (9) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables
     Financing;

                                      -75-

          (10) any transaction in which Holdings or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an
     accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing
     stating that such transaction is fair to Holdings or such Restricted
     Subsidiary from a financial point of view or that such transaction meets
     the requirements of clause (1) of Section 4.11(a);

          (11) the existence of, or the performance by Holdings or any of its
     Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any
     acquisition agreements or members' or stockholders agreement or related
     documents to which it is a party as of the date of this Indenture and any
     amendment thereto or similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter;
     provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by Holdings or
     any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future
     amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement
     entered into after the date of this Indenture shall only be permitted by
     this clause (11) to the extent that the terms of any such existing
     agreement, together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or such
     new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the Holders of the
     Notes taken as a whole than the original agreement as in effect on the date
     of this Indenture;

          (12) transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries, customers, clients,
     suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or
     services, or lessors or lessees of property, in each case in the ordinary
     course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this
     Indenture which are, in the aggregate (taking into account all the costs
     and benefits associated with such transactions), materially no less
     favorable to Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries than those that would
     have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Holdings or such
     Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person, in the reasonable
     determination of the Board of Directors of Holdings or senior management
     thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have
     been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

          (13) (x) guarantees of performance by Holdings and its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Unrestricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
     business, except for guarantees of Indebtedness in respect of borrowed
     money, and (y) pledges of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries for
     the benefit of lenders of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

          (14) if such Affiliate Transaction is with a Person in its capacity as
     a holder of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of Holdings or any Restricted
     Subsidiary where such Person is treated no more favorably than the holders
     of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary;

          (15) transactions effected pursuant to agreements in effect on the
     issue date and any amendment, modification or replacement of such agreement
     (so long as such amendment or replacement is not materially more
     disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes, taken as a whole); and

          (16) payments to the Equity Investors made for any financial advisory,
     financing or other investment banking activities, including without
     limitation, in connection

                                      -76-

     with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are approved by a
     majority of the Board of Directors.

Section 4.12 Liens.

          Holdings will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or
become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of
their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, securing Indebtedness
of the Company or the Guarantors unless all payments due under this Indenture
and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so
secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

Section 4.13 Business Activities.

          Holdings will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except
to such extent as would not be material to Holdings and its Restricted
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 4.14 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 4.15 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

          (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will make
an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase
all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that
Holder's Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the
date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date
to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date (the "Change of
Control Payment"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the
extent that the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes in
accordance with Article 3 of this Indenture the Company will mail a notice to
each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the
Change of Control and stating:

          (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this
     Section 4.15 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change
     of Control Offer 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 will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control
     Payment Date;

                                      -77-

          (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" attached to the Notes
     completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the
     address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third
     Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

          (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the
     Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second
     Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram,
     telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the
     Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a
     statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes
     purchased; and

          (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be
     issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of
     the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in
     principal amount or an integral multiple thereof.

          The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the
repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in Control. To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Section 4.15 hereof, the Company will comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached their obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance.

          (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the
extent lawful:

          (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of 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 Notes properly
     tendered; and

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

          The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will
promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to
each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of
the Notes surrendered, if any; provided, that each new note will be in a
principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. The Company will
publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as
reasonably practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

                                      -78-

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the
Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at
the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this
Section 4.15 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under
the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant
to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the
applicable redemption price.

Section 4.16 Payments for Consent.

          Holdings will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions
of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid
and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in
the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent,
waiver or agreement.

Section 4.17 Additional Note Guarantees.

          If Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates
another wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, then
that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary, if such Subsidiary
guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company (unless such Subsidiary is a
Receivables Subsidiary) will become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental
indenture and deliver an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee within
30 days of the date on which it was acquired or created; provided that any
Domestic Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary need not become a
Guarantor until such time as it (i) ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary or
(ii) guarantees the Senior Credit Facility. The form of such supplemental
indenture is attached as Exhibit E hereto.

Section 4.18 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

          The Board of Directors of Holdings may designate any Restricted
Subsidiary, other than the Company, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that
designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all
outstanding Investments owned by Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the
Subsidiary designated as Unrestricted will be deemed to be an Investment made as
of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for
Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or under one or more clauses of
the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by Holdings. That
designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that
time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of Holdings may redesignate any
Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation
would not cause a Default.

          Any designation of a Subsidiary of Holdings as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a
certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such
designation and an officers' certificate certifying that such designation
complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof.
If, at

                                      -79-

any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding
requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of
such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of
Holdings as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be
incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, Holdings will be in default
of such covenant. The Board of Directors of Holdings may at any time designate
any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings; provided
that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a
Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings of any outstanding Indebtedness of such
Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) (x)
Holdings could incur such Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio test, described in Section 4.09(a) hereof, or (y) the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio for Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater
than such ratio for Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior
to such designation, in each case on a pro forma basis taking into account such
designation; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence
following such designation.

Section 4.19 Changes in Covenants upon Notes being Rated Investment Grade.

          If on any date following the date of this Indenture: (i) the Notes are
assigned an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies and (ii) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then,
beginning on that day, the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09,
4.10, 4.11, 4.13 and 4.18 hereof, and clause (4) of Section 5.01 shall
terminate.

                                   ARTICLE 5

                                   SUCCESSORS

Section 5.01 Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.

          Neither Holdings nor the Company will, directly or indirectly: (i)
consolidate or merge with or into another Person; or (ii) sell, assign,
transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of Holdings'
properties or assets (determined on a consolidated basis for Holdings and its
Restricted Subsidiaries) in one or more related transactions to another Person,
unless:

          (1) either:

               (A) Holdings or the Company is the surviving entity; or

               (B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
          merger (if other than Holdings or the Company) or to which such sale,
          assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is
          a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized or
          existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United
          States or the District of Columbia;

                                      -80-

          (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
     (if other than Holdings or the Company) or the Person to which such sale,
     assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes
     all the obligations of Holdings or the Company, as the case may be, under
     the Notes, this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to
     agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

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

          (4) (a) Holdings, the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any
     such consolidation or merger (if other than Holdings or the Company), or to
     which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has
     been made would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma
     effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had
     occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period be
     permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to
     the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof;
     or

          (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the successor entity and its
     Restricted Subsidiaries would not be less than such ratio for Holdings and
     its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction.

          In addition, neither Holdings nor the Company will, directly or
indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of it
and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related
transactions, to any other Person.

          This Section 5.01 will not apply to:

          (1) a merger of Holdings or the Company with an Affiliate solely for
     the purpose of reincorporating Holdings or the Company in another
     jurisdiction; or

          (2) any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer,
     conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among Holdings
     and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Section 5.02 Successor Substituted.

          Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer,
lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of Holdings or the Company in a transaction that is subject
to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor
Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which Holdings or 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, assignment,
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this
Indenture referring to the "Company" or "Holdings", as the case may be, shall
refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Company or Holdings, as the
case may be), and may exercise every right and power of the Company or Holdings,
as the case may be, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor Person had been named as the Company

                                      -81-

or Holdings, as the case may be herein; provided, however, that the predecessor
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 or substantially all of the
Company's properties or assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that
complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof.

                                   ARTICLE 6

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01 Events of Default.

          Each of the following is an "Event of Default":

          (1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or
     Additional Interest, if any, with respect to, the Notes;

          (2) default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or
     otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes;

          (3) failure by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to
     comply with the provisions of Sections 4.15 or 5.01 hereof;

          (4) failure by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60
     days after notice to Holdings 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 the other agreements in this Indenture;

          (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 Holdings or any of its Significant
     Subsidiaries or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that taken as a whole
     would constitute a Significant Subsidiary (or the payment of which is
     guaranteed by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such
     Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this
     Indenture (but excluding Indebtedness owing to Holdings or a Restricted
     Subsidiary), if that default:

               (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal on such Indebtedness
          prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such
          Indebtedness following the Stated Maturity of such Indebtedness (a
          "Payment Default"); or

               (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its
          Stated Maturity,

     and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together
     with the 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 $25.0 million or more;

                                      -82-

          (6) failure by Holdings or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or
     group of Restricted Subsidiaries that taken as a whole would constitute a
     Significant Subsidiary, to pay final and non-appealable judgments entered
     by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of
     $25.0 million (net of any amounts which are covered by insurance or
     bonded), which judgments are not paid, waived, satisfied, discharged or
     stayed for a period of 60 days;

          (7) Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a
     Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken
     together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within
     the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

               (A) commences a voluntary case,

               (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, or

               (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

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

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

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

               (C) orders the liquidation of Holdings or any of its Restricted
          Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
          Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a
          Significant Subsidiary;

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

          (9) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee of any
     Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that taken as a
     whole would constitute a Significant Subsidiary is held in any judicial
     proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in
     full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Note
     Guarantee and this Indenture), or any Guarantor, or any Person acting

                                      -83-

     on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its
     Note Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

          In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of
Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to Holdings, any Restricted Subsidiary of
Holdings that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries of Holdings that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately
without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately.

          Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable
immediately.

          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 or Additional Interest, if
any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or
waived.

          In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (5) of
Section 6.01, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding,
however, any resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived and rescinded,
automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes,
if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an
Officers' Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or
Guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y)
the Holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action
(as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default
that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood
that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as
described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such
events.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

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

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

                                      -84-

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 rescind an acceleration or 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 and Additional
Interest, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an
offer to purchase). Upon any such rescission or waiver, such Default shall cease
to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

          Holders of a majority in aggregate 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 may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Notes only if:

          (1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that
     an Event of Default is continuing;

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

          (3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the
     Trustee security or indemnity reasonably 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 of security or indemnity; and

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

                                      -85-

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

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

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

          If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its
own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole
amount of principal of, premium and Additional Interest, 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 and documented 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 6, it shall
pay out the money in the following order:

                                      -86-

          First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under
     Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses 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 and Additional Interest, 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 and Additional
     Interest, if any and interest, respectively; and

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

          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders 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 and
documented attorneys' fees and expenses against any party litigant in the suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
the party litigant. This Section 6.11 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 aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

                                    ARTICLE 7

                                     TRUSTEE

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

          (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee
will 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:

          (1) the duties of the Trustee will 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

          (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
     conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
     the opinions expressed therein,

                                      -87-

     upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
     the requirements of this Indenture. However, with respect to certificates
     or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof to be furnished
     to it, the Trustee will 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:

          (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this
     Section 7.01;

          (2) the Trustee will 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

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

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

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

          (f) The Trustee will 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 will not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on
such Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with
counsel of its own selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of
Counsel will 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.

                                      -88-

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

          (d) The Trustee will 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 will be sufficient if
signed by an Officer of the Company.

          (f) The Trustee will 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 have offered to the Trustee reasonable
indemnity or security satisfactory to it against the losses, liabilities and
expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction.

          (g) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for
special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the
Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless
of the form of action;

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

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

          (j) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers'
Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture,
which Officers' Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an
Officers' Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

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 (if this Indenture has been qualified under
the TIA) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The
Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

                                      -89-

Section 7.04 Trustee's Disclaimer.

          The Trustee will 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 will not be responsible for the use or application of any money
received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will 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 will 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 or
Additional Interest, 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.

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

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

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

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

          (b) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will
indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages
or expenses incurred by it aris-

                                      -90-

ing out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties
under this Indenture, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses
of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including
this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by
the Company, the Guarantors, 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 own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee
will notify the Company promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has
received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee
to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors
of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the
claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have
separate counsel and the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, will pay the
reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel provided, however
that the Company and any Guarantor shall not be required to pay such fees and
expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties' defense and, in such
indemnified parties' reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest
between the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in
connection with such defense. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for
any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld.

          (c) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this
Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

          (d) To secure the Company's and the Guarantors' payment obligations in
this Section 7.07, the Trustee will 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 will survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

          (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) 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.

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

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

          (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee's
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

          (b) 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 aggregate 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:

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

                                      -91-

          (2) 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;

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

          (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

          (d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after
the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company,
or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

          (f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the
successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession
to Holders. The retiring Trustee will 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 will 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 will be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

          There will 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 $50.0
million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

                                      -92-

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

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company.

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

                                    ARTICLE 8

                    LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

          The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors
evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate, elect to have
either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes and Note
Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article
8.

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 and each of the Guarantors will,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof,
be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all
outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set
forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). For this purpose,
Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to
have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding
Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will 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 clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have
satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees 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 will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder:

          (1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in
     respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Additional
     Interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust
     referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

          (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 and the Guarantors' obligations in connection
     therewith; and

          (4) this Article 8.

                                      -93-

          Subject to compliance with this Article 8, 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 and each of the Guarantors will,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof,
be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in
Sections 4.03, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18
and 4.19 and clauses (3) and (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
hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Notes will
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 will continue to be deemed
"outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such
Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose,
Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note
Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have
no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any
such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply will 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 and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In
addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(6) hereof will
not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

          In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

          (1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust,
     for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable
     Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be
     sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank,
     appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the
     principal of, premium and Additional Interest, 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, and the Company must
     specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for
     payment or to a particular redemption date;

          (2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company
     must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that:

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

                                      -94-

               (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
     must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel 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 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
     and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing);

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

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

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

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

          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
will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to
become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if
any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law.

                                      -95-

          The Company will 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.

          Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the
Trustee will 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(1) 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 or
Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed
for two years after such principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or
interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request
or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to 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, will 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 causes 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 will 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 U.S. 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 and the Guarantors' obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will 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 or
Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note following the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will 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.

                                      -96-

                                    ARTICLE 9

                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

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

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

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

          (3) to provide for the assumption of the Company's or a Guarantor's
     obligations to the Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees by a successor
     to the Company or such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10
     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;

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

          (6) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any
     provision of the "Description of Notes" section of the Offering Memorandum,
     to the extent that such provision in that "Description of Notes" was
     intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the
     Note Guarantees or the Notes;

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

          (8) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or
     a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes and to release Guarantors from
     the Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

          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 will join with the Company and the Guarantors 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 will not be
obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

                                      -97-

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

          Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the
Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including,
without limitation, Sections 4.10 and 4.15 hereof) and the Notes or the Note
Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes 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
or Additional Interest, 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 or the Note Guarantees may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional
Notes, if any) 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). 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 will
join with the Company and the Guarantors 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 will not be
obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

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

          After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02
becomes effective, the Company will 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, will not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment,
supplement or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the 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 or the Note Guarantees. However,
without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement 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;

                                      -98-

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

          (3) reduce the rate of or extend 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 or Additional Interest, 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 impair the rights of Holders of Notes to
     receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Additional
     Interest, if any, on, the Notes;

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

          (8) release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of
     its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in
     accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

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

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

          Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will 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 amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in
accordance with its terms, it 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

                                      -99-

issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order,
authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

          The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized
pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company
may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors
of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture,
the Trustee will be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be
fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by
Section 12.04 hereof, an Officers' 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.

          (a) 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:

          (1) the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, 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

          (2) 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 will 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.

                                      -100-

          (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are
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 will not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

          (c) 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, will be reinstated in full
force and effect.

          (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will 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, (1) 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 (2) 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) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for
the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will 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 Note 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 be limited to the maximum amount that 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.

                                      -101-

Section 10.03 Intentionally Omitted.

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

          Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.04, no Guarantor
(other than Holdings) may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such
Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or
another Guarantor, unless:

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

          (2) either:

               (a) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or
          disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
          consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor
          under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights
          Agreement on the terms set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a
          supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
          to the Trustee; or

               (b) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are
          applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
          Indenture.

          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 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 will 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 will
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 2(a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the
Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into a
Company or another Guarantor, or will 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.

          The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor (other than Holdings) will be
released:

                                      -102-

          (1) in connection with any sale; disposition or transfer of all or
     substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of
     merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after
     giving effect to such transaction) Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary of
     Holdings, if the sale, disposition or transfer does not violate Section
     4.10 hereof;

          (2) in connection with any sale, disposition or transfer of all of the
     Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or
     after giving effect to such transaction) Holdings or a Restricted
     Subsidiary of Holdings, if the sale, disposition or transfer does not
     violate Section 4.10 hereof;

          (3) if Holdings designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
     Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the
     applicable provisions of the indenture;

          (4) upon Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or
     satisfaction and discharge of the indenture in accordance with Article 11
     hereof; or

          (5) upon the release of such Guarantors' Guarantee under the Credit
     Agreement or such other Indebtedness that triggered such Guarantor's Note
     Guarantee.

          Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note
Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full
amount of principal of and interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any,
on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture
as provided in this Article 10.

                                   ARTICLE 11

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

          This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further
effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

          (1) either:

               (a) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen
          or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose
          payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated
          and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company,
          have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

               (b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for
          cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a
          notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable
          within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably
          deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
          trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S.

                                      -103-

          dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof,
          in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any
          reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness
          on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for
          principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and accrued
          interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

          (2) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all
     sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

          (3) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee
     under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the
     Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and
discharge have been satisfied.

          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if
money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause
(1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will
survive such satisfaction and discharge. In addition, nothing in this Section
11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that,
by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money.

          Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium and
Additional Interest, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been
deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law.

          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any
legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, the Company's and any Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture
and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any
payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on,
any Notes because of 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 or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

                                      -104-

The Bank of New York, as Trustee

By:
    ------------------------------------
    Authorized Signatory

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                      A1-1

                                 [Back of Note]
                          7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2014

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

[Insert the Private Placement Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions
of the Indenture]

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

          (1) INTEREST. Foundation PA Coal Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 7
1/4% per annum from July 30, 2004 until maturity and shall pay the Additional
Interest, if any, payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Registration Rights
Agreement referred to below. The Company will pay interest and Additional
Interest, if any, 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 July 30, 2004 until the principal hereof is due. The first Interest
Payment Date shall be February 1, 2005. The Company will pay interest on overdue
principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue
installments of interest 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) and Additional Interest, if any, 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. Payments in respect of Notes represented by Global Notes (including
principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust
Company or any successor depositary. The Company will make all payments in
respect of a Definitive Note (including principal, premium, if any, and
interest), at the office of each Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the
Company, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered
address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes
may also be made in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained
by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by
wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or a Paying Agent to such
effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the
relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in
its discretion). Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts.

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

                                      A1-2

          (4) INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated
as of July 30, 2004 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the Guarantors 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 TIA. Terms defined in the
Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Indenture. The Notes are subject to all the terms and provisions of the
Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA 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 senior unsecured obligations of the Company. This Note
is one of the Initial Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the
Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and any Exchange Notes issued in exchange
for Initial Notes or Additional Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The Initial
Notes, any Additional Notes and any Exchange Notes are treated as a single class
of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on
the ability of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things,
make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other
distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the
payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries,
issue or sell shares of capital stock of Holdings and such Restricted
Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create
or Incur Liens and make asset sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on
the ability of the Company and each Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or
into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of
its property.

          To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and
interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the
Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether
at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes
and the Indenture, the Guarantors have, jointly and severally, unconditionally
guaranteed the Obligations of the Company under the Notes on a senior unsecured
basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

          (5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

          (a) Except as set forth in subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Paragraph
5, the Company will not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to August 1,
2009. On or after August 1, 2009, 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 and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes
redeemed to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed

----                                                                  ----------
2009...............................................................    103.625%
2010...............................................................    102.417%
2011...............................................................    101.208%

                                      A1-3

          Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price,
interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption on the applicable redemption date.

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this
Paragraph 5, at any time prior to August 1, 2007, the Company may on any one or
more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
issued under the Indenture (including any additional notes issued after the
Issue Date) at a redemption price of 107.25% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not
including the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings; provided that (1) at least 65% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and its
Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such
redemption and (2) that such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of
the closing of such Equity Offering.

          (c) At any time prior to August 1, 2009, the Company may also redeem
all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior
notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's registered address, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus
the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, subject to the
rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the relevant interest payment date.

          (6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

          The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking
fund payments with respect to the Notes.

          (7) 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, except that redemption
notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice
is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or
discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be
redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000.

          (8) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

          (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company will make an offer (a
"Change of Control Offer") to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any
part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that Holder's Notes
at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of
Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if
any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase,
subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest
due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change
of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the
procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

                                      A1-4

          (b) If Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings consummates any
Asset Sales, within ten Business Days of each date on which the aggregate amount
of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, the Company will commence an offer to
all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu
with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture
with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of
assets (an "Asset Sale Offer") pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Indenture to
purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu
Indebtedness 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 and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding,
the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Indenture. To the extent that, any Excess Proceeds remain after the consummation
of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any
purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal
amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale
Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes
and such other pari passu Indebtedness 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" attached to the Notes.

          (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 or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented
with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting
as a single class, and any existing Default or Event or Default or compliance
with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting
as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or
the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented (i) to cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, (ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in
addition to or in place of certificated Notes, (iii) to provide for the
assumption of the Company's or a Guarantor's obligations to Holders of the Notes
and Note Guarantees in case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's or such Guarantor's assets, as applicable,
(iv) to make any change that would pro-

                                      A1-5

vide 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,
(v) to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain
the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, (vi) to conform the text of
the Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the "Description of Notes"
section of the Company's Offering Memorandum dated July 21, 2004, to the extent
that such provision in that "Description of Notes" was intended to be a verbatim
recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes,
(vii) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the
limitations set forth in the Indenture or (viii) to allow any Guarantor to
execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with
respect to the Notes and to release Guarantors from the Note Guarantee in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

          (12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If any Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of
Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to
Holdings, any Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings that is a Significant Subsidiary
or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of Holdings that, taken together, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and
payable immediately 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 aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or
power. The Holders of 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, rescind an acceleration or 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 or premium or Additional Interest,
if any, 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) DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE. Subject to certain conditions, the
Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the
Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the
Trustee money or Government Securities for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

          (14) 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.

          (15) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, manager, officer,
employee, incorporator, member or stockholder of the Company or any of the
Guarantors, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture
or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of,

                                      A1-6

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.

          (16) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated
by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

          (17) 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

          (18) ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTES AND
RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to Holders of
Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted
Definitive Notes will have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement dated as of July 30, 2004, among the Company, the Guarantors and the
Initial Purchasers named therein or, in the case of Additional Notes, Holders of
Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes will have the rights set
forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, among the Company,
the Guarantors and the other parties thereto, relating to rights given by the
Company and the Guarantors to the purchasers of any Additional Notes
(collectively, the "Registration Rights Agreement").

          (19) 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.

          (20) GOVERNING LAW. THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND
BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES.

MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY RULE 902 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE
INDENTURE CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE TRUSTEE TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY
TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.

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

          (1) INTEREST. Foundation PA Coal Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 7
1/4% per annum

                                      A2-3

from July 30, 2004 until maturity and shall pay the Additional Interest, if any,
payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to
below. The Company will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any,
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 July
30, 2004 until the principal hereof is due. The first Interest Payment Date
shall be February 1, 2005. The Company will pay interest on overdue principal at
the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments
of interest 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.

          Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Note is exchanged for one or
more Regulation S Permanent Global Notes, the Holder hereof shall not be
entitled to receive payments of interest hereon; until so exchanged in full,
this Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall in all other respects be entitled
to the same benefits as other Notes under the Indenture.

          (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, 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. Payments in respect of Notes represented by Global Notes (including
principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust
Company or any successor depositary. The Company will make all payments in
respect of a Definitive Note (including principal, premium, if any, and
interest), at the office of each Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the
Company, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered
address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes
may also be made in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained
by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by
wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or a Paying Agent to such
effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the
relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in
its discretion). Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts.

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

          (4) INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated
as of July 30, 2004 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the Guarantors 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 TIA. Terms defined in the
Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Indenture. The Notes are subject to all the terms and provisions of the

                                      A2-4

Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA 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 senior unsecured obligations of the Company. This Note
is one of the Initial Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the
Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and any Exchange Notes issued in exchange
for Initial Notes or Additional Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The Initial
Notes, any Additional Notes and any Exchange Notes are treated as a single class
of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on
the ability of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things,
make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other
distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the
payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries,
issue or sell shares of capital stock of Holdings and such Restricted
Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create
or Incur Liens and make asset sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on
the ability of the Company and each Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or
into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of
its property.

          To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and
interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the
Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether
at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes
and the Indenture, the Guarantors have, jointly and severally, unconditionally
guaranteed the Obligations of the Company under the Notes on a senior unsecured
basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

          (5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

          (a) Except as set forth in subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Paragraph
5, the Company will not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to August 1,
2009. On or after August 1, 2009, 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 and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes
redeemed to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed
during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1 of the years indicated
below, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive
interest on the relevant interest payment date:

Year                                                                  Percentage
----                                                                  ----------
2009...............................................................    103.625%
2010...............................................................    102.417%
2011...............................................................    101.208%
2012 and thereafter................................................    100.000%

          Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price,
interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption on the applicable redemption date.

                                      A2-5

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this
Paragraph 5, at any time prior to August 1, 2007, the Company may on any one or
more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
issued under the Indenture (including any additional notes issued after the
Issue Date) at a redemption price of 107.25% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not
including the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings; provided that (1) at least 65% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and its
Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such
redemption and (2) that such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of
the closing of such Equity Offering.

          (c) At any time prior to August 1, 2009, the Company may also redeem
all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior
notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's registered address, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus
the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, subject to the
rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the relevant interest payment date.

          (6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

          The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking
fund payments with respect to the Notes.

          (7) 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, except that redemption
notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice
is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or
discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be
redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000.

          (8) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

          (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company will make an offer (a
"Change of Control Offer") to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any
part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that Holder's Notes
at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of
Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if
any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase,
subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest
due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change
of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the
procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

          (b) If Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings consummates any
Asset Sales, within ten Business Days of each date on which the aggregate amount
of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, the Company will commence an offer to
all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu
with the Notes containing provisions similar

                                      A2-6

to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem
with the proceeds of sales of assets (an "Asset Sale Offer") pursuant to Section
4.10 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such
other pari passu Indebtedness 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 and Additional Interest, if any,
thereon to, but excluding, the date of purchase, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that any Excess Proceeds
remain after the consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those
Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If
the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness
tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the
Trustee shall select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness 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" attached to the Notes.

          (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.

          This Regulation S Temporary Global Note is exchangeable in whole or in
part for one or more Global Notes only (i) on or after the termination of the
40-day distribution compliance period (as defined in Regulation S) and (ii) upon
presentation of certificates (accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel, if
applicable) required by Article 2 of the Indenture. Upon exchange of this
Regulation S Temporary Global Note for one or more Global Notes, the Trustee
shall cancel this Regulation S Temporary Global Note.

          (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 or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented
with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting
as a single class, and any existing Default or Event or Default or compliance
with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting
as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or
the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented (i) to cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, (ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in
addition to or in place of certificated Notes, (iii) to provide

                                      A2-7

for the assumption of the Company's or a Guarantor's obligations to Holders of
the Notes and Note Guarantees in case of a merger or consolidation or sale of
all or substantially all of the Company's or such Guarantor's assets, as
applicable, (iv) 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, (v) to comply with the
requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the
Indenture under the TIA, (vi) to conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes
to any provision of the "Description of Notes" section of the Company's Offering
Memorandum dated July 21, 2004, to the extent that such provision in that
"Description of Notes" was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision
of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes, (vii) to provide for the
issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the
Indenture or (viii) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture
to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes and to
release Guarantors from the Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture.

          (12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If any Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of
Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to
Holdings, any Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings that is a Significant Subsidiary
or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of Holdings that, taken together, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and
payable immediately 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 aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or
power. The Holders of 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, rescind an acceleration or 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 or premium or Additional Interest,
if any, 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) DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE. Subject to certain conditions, the
Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the
Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the
Trustee money or Government Securities for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

          (14) 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.

                                      A2-8

          (15) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, manager, officer,
employee, incorporator, member or stockholder of the Company or any of the
Guarantors, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees 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.

          (16) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated
by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (=

Restricted Definitive Notes will have all the rights set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of July 30, 2004, among the Company, the
Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers named therein or, in the case of
Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive

agreements, if any, among the Company, the Guarantors and the other parties
thereto, relating to rights given by the Company and the Guarantors to the
purchasers of any Additional Notes (collectively, the "Registration Rights

          (19) 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.

          (20) GOVERNING LAW. THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND

Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them
together represent the same agreement.
