          The Company shall require each Paying Agent to agree in writing to
hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held
by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the
Securities (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other
obligor on the Securities), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall each
notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company (or any other
obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment.  The Company at any time
may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and
account for any funds disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the
continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent,

          (a)  Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.  Transfer of the
               ------------------------------------------
Global Securities shall be by delivery.  Global Securities will be exchanged by
the Company for Physical Securities only (i) if DTC notifies the Company that it
is unwilling or unable to continue to act as depositary with respect to the
Global Securities or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor depositary registered as a
clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by the Company within
120 days, (ii) at any time if the Company in its sole discretion determines that
the Global Securities (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for
Physical Securities or (iii) if the owner of an interest in the Global
Securities requests

a writing delivered through DTC to the Trustee.

          Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in the previous
paragraph, Physical Securities shall be issued in such names as DTC shall
instruct the Trustee in writing and the Trustee shall cause the aggregate
principal amount of the applicable Global Security to be reduced accordingly and
direct DTC to make a corresponding reduction in its book-entry system.  The
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery to the Person designated in the instructions a Physical Security in the
appropriate principal amount.  The Trustee shall make available for delivery
such Physical Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so
registered.  Physical Securities issued in exchange for an Initial Global
Security pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall bear the Securities Act Legend
and shall be subject to all restrictions on transfer contained therein.  Global
Securities may also be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided
in Sections 2.07 and 2.10.  Every Security authenticated and made available for
delivery in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion
thereof, pursuant to Section 2.07 or 2.10, shall be authenticated and made
available for delivery in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security.  A
Global Security may not be exchanged for another Security other than as provided
in this Section 2.06(a).

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

therefor.  Interests in Initial Global Securities shall be subject to
restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent
required by the Securities Act.  The Trustee shall have no obligation to
ascertain DTC's compliance with any such restrictions on transfer.  Transfers of
interests in Global Securities shall also require compliance with subparagraph

          (h)  Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Securities.  At such
               ---------------------------------------------------
time as all interests in the Global Securities have been exchanged for Physical
Securities, all Global Securities shall be returned to or retained and canceled
by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof.  At any time prior to
such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Security is exchanged for an
interest in another Global Security or for Physical Securities, the principal
amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced
accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security, by the
Trustee to reflect such reduction.

          (i)  General Provisions Relating to All Transfers and Exchanges.
               ----------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>

                                      -26-

             (i)    To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
     Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Securities
     and Physical Securities upon a written order signed by an Officer of the
     Company or at the Registrar's request.

             (ii)   No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any
     registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment
     of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or transfer tax or similar
     governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such
     stamp or transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon
     exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.05, 4.14 and 10.05
     hereof).

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

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

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

             (vi)   The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
     determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer
     imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any
     transfers of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between
     or among Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global
     Security) or Physical Security other than to require delivery of such
     certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required
     by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this
     Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as
     to form with the express requirements hereof.

SECTION 2.07.  Replacement Securities.
               ----------------------

          If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder
of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully
taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement
Security if the Trustee's requirements are met.  The Holder shall provide an
indemnity bond in an amount sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the
Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any
of them may suffer if a Security is replaced may be required by the Trustee or
the Company.  The Company and the Trustee each may charge such Holder for its
expenses in replacing such Security.

          Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.
<PAGE>

                                      -27-

SECTION 2.08.  Outstanding Securities.
               ----------------------

          Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities that have been
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to
it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding.  A
Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its
Affiliates holds the Security.

          If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

          If the Paying Agent holds on a redemption date or Maturity Date money
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on Securities payable on that
date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and
interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.09.  Treasury Securities.
               -------------------

          In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned
by the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates shall be
disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only
Securities that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

          The Trustee may require an Officers' Certificate listing securities
owned by the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 2.10.  Temporary Securities.
               --------------------

          Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities.  Temporary
Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may
have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.
Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.  Until
such exchange, temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same rights,
benefits and privileges as definitive Securities.

SECTION 2.11.  Cancellation.
               ------------

          The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for
cancellation.  The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee
any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment.  The
Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer,
exchange, payment or cancellation.  The Company may not issue new Securities to
replace, reissue or resell Securities which the Company has redeemed, paid,
purchased on the open market or otherwise, or otherwise acquired or have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Trustee (subject to the record-
retention requirements of the Exchange Act) may, but shall not be required to,
destroy canceled Securities.

SECTION 2.12.  Defaulted Interest.
               ------------------

          If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it
shall pay the defaulted interest, plus any interest payable on the defaulted
interest pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, to the persons who
<PAGE>

                                      -28-

are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date, and such term, as used
in this Section 2.12 with respect to the payment of any defaulted interest,
shall mean the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for
the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At
least 15 days before such special record date, the Company shall mail to each
Securityholder and to the Trustee a notice that states such special record date,
the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.13.  CUSIP or ISIN Number.
               --------------------

          The Company in issuing the Securities may use a "CUSIP" or "ISIN"
number, and if so, such CUSIP or ISIN number shall be included in notices of
redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any
                                                    --------  -------
such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number printed in the notice or on the Securities,
and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
on the Securities.  The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change
in the CUSIP or ISIN number.

SECTION 2.14.  Payments of Interest.
               --------------------

          (a)  The Holder of a Physical Security at the close of business on the
regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled
to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding
any transfer or exchange of such Physical Security subsequent to the regular
record date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, except if and to the extent
the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest
Payment Date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid in accordance
with Section 2.12; and in the event of an exchange of a Physical Security for a
beneficial interest in any Global Security subsequent to a regular record date
or any special record date and prior to or on the related Interest Payment Date
or other payment date under Section 2.12, any payment of the interest payable on
such payment date with respect to any such Physical Security shall be made to
the Person in whose name such Physical Security was registered on such record
date.  Payments of interest on the Global Securities will be made on each
Interest Payment Date to the Holder of the Global Security on the record date
with respect thereto; provided, however, that, in the event of an exchange of
                      --------  -------
all or a portion of a Global Security for a Physical Security subsequent to the
regular record date or any special record date and prior to or on the related
Interest Payment Date or other payment date under Section 2.12, any payment of
interest payable on such Interest Payment Date or other payment date with
respect to the Physical Security shall be made to the Holder of the Global
Security as of the applicable record date.

          (b)  Subject to Section 4.01, interest shall be paid to DTC, with
respect to any Global Security held by DTC, on the applicable Interest Payment
Date in accordance with instructions received from DTC at least five Business
Days before the applicable Interest Payment Date.

least 45 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter notice shall be
agreed to by the Trustee in writing) but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date, together with an Officers' Certificate stating that such
redemption will comply with the conditions contained herein.

SECTION 3.02.  Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed.
               --------------------------------------

          If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed pursuant to
paragraph 5 thereof, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed, in
accordance with the rules of any national securities exchange on which the
Securities may be listed or, if the Securities are not so listed, pro rata or by
                                                                  --- ----
lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall deem appropriate and fair.  The
Trustee shall make the selection from the Securities then outstanding, subject
to redemption and not previously called for redemption.  The Trustee may select
for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of
the principal amount of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000.
Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also
apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.

          At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date,

     to be surrendered for redemption;

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

     (6)  that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment,
     interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after
     the redemption date and the only remaining right of the Holders is to
     receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the Paying Agent;
     and

     (7)  if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the
     principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the
     redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or
     Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will
     be issued.

          At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption on behalf of the Company, in the Company's name and at the Company's
expense.
<PAGE>

SECTION 3.04.  Effect of Notice of Redemption.
               ------------------------------

          Once a notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for
redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption
price.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the
redemption price, plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, but
interest installments whose maturity is on or prior to such redemption date
shall be payable to the Holders of record at the close of business on the
relevant record dates referred to in the Securities.  The Trustee shall not be
required to (i) issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any
Security during a period beginning 15 days before the date a notice of
redemption is mailed and ending at the close of business on the date the
redemption notice is mailed, or (ii) register the transfer or exchange of any
Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

SECTION 3.05.  Deposit of Redemption Price.
               ---------------------------

          On or prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued
interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or
portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by
the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.  If the Company complies with the
provisions of this paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall
cease to accrue on the Securities or the portions of the Securities called for
redemption.

SECTION 3.06.  Securities Redeemed in Part.
               ---------------------------

          Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Trustee

          The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on the Securities
in the manner provided in the Securities.  An installment of principal or
interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Trustee or Paying Agent
holds on that date money designated for and sufficient to pay the installment in
full and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders of the
Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

          The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the same rate

per annum borne by the Securities.  The Company shall pay interest on overdue

SECTION 4.02.  Maintenance of Office or Agency.
               -------------------------------

          The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be served.  The Company shall give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the location, and any change in
<PAGE>

                                      -31-

the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to
maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee
with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands
may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 13.02.

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

Section 13.02 (the "Corporate Trust Office") as one such office or agency of the
Company in accordance with Section 2.03.

SECTION 4.03.  Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.
               ------------------------------------------

          The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into, renew
or extend any transaction with any of their respective Affiliates or any
beneficial holder of 10% or more of any class of Capital Stock of the Company or
Triton PCS Holdings, Inc., including, without limitation, the purchase, sale,
lease or exchange of property, the rendering of any service, or the making of
any guarantee, loan, advance or Investment, either directly or indirectly,

could be obtained at such time by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as
the case may be, in a comparable transaction made on an arms'-length basis with
a Person that is not such an Affiliate; provided, however, that (x) in any
                                        --------  -------
transaction involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, the
Company shall deliver an Officers' Certificate to the Trustee stating that a

of such transaction the Company is not a Subsidiary of Triton PCS Holdings,
Inc., have determined, in their good faith judgment, that the terms of such
transaction are at least as favorable as the terms that could be obtained by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable
transaction made on an arms'-length basis between unaffiliated parties and (y)
if the aggregate consideration is in excess of $25.0 million, the Company shall
also deliver to the Trustee, prior to the consummation of the transaction, the
favorable written opinion of a nationally recognized accounting, appraisal or
investment banking firm as to the fairness of the transaction to Holders, from a
financial point of view.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this
Section 4.03 shall not apply to (i) transactions between or among the Company

any material amendment shall be required to comply with the provisions of the
preceding paragraph of this Section 4.03, (v) transactions with AT&T

Stock of the Company or Triton PCS Holdings, Inc. (such Affiliate or holder

Party in the ordinary course of its business to the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary, or by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to a Related Party,

                                                                   ---- -----
     with the Notes, such Refinancing Indebtedness is made pari passu with or
                                                           ---- -----
     subordinate in right of payment to the Notes, and, in the case of any
     Refinancing of Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to the
     Notes, such Refinancing Indebtedness is subordinate in right of payment to
     the Notes on terms no less favorable to the Holders than those contained in
     the Indebtedness being Refinanced, (2) in either case, the Refinancing
     Indebtedness by its terms, or by the terms of any agreement or instrument
     pursuant to which such Indebtedness is issued, does not have an Average
     Life that is less than the remaining Average Life of the Indebtedness being
     Refinanced and (3) any Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness
     is Incurred by the obligor on the Indebtedness being Refinanced or by the

     --------
     in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding;

             (ix)    Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary

     other outstanding Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (xi), has

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.04, in the event that
an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of
Indebtedness permitted pursuant to clauses (i) through (xi) above, the Company
shall, in its sole discretion, be permitted to classify such item of
Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.04 and may from
time to time reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that would
comply with this Section 4.04 at the time of such reclassification.  Accrual of
interest and the accretion of accreted value will not be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.04.

SECTION 4.05.  Limitation on Certain Asset Dispositions.
               ----------------------------------------

          The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any Asset Dispositions unless:  (i)
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives
consideration for such Asset Disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value
of the assets sold or disposed of as determined by either (x) the Board of
Triton PCS Holdings, Inc., if at the time of such Asset Disposition, the Company
is a Subsidiary of Triton PCS Holdings, Inc. or (y) the Board of the Company if,
at the time of such Asset Disposition, the Company is not a Subsidiary of Triton
PCS Holdings, Inc., in good faith and evidenced by a resolution of such Board
filed with the Trustee; (ii) other than in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap,
not less than 75% of the consideration received by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary from the disposition consists of (x) cash or Cash
Equivalents, (y) the assumption of Indebtedness (other than non-recourse
Indebtedness or any Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary or other obligations relating to such assets (accompanied by the
irrevocable unconditional release of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
from all liability on the Indebtedness or other obligations assumed) or (z)
notes or other obligations received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary into cash concurrently with the receipt of such notes or other
obligations (to the extent of the cash actually received by the Company); and
(iii) all Net Available Proceeds, less any amounts invested within 365 days of
such Asset Disposition to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or
a majority of the Voting Stock of, an entity primarily engaged in a Permitted
Business, to make a capital expenditure or to acquire other long-term assets
that are used or useful in a Permitted Business, are applied, on or prior to the
365th day after such Asset Disposition, to the permanent reduction and
prepayment of any Senior Debt of the Company then outstanding (including a
permanent reduction of the commitments in respect thereof) or to the making of
an offer to purchase the Company's 11% senior subordinated discount notes due
2008 in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the terms of such
notes.  Any Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Disposition which is subject
to the immediately preceding sentence that are not applied as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence shall be used promptly after the expiration of
the 365th day after such Asset Disposition (or earlier if the Company so
elects), to make an Offer to Purchase outstanding Notes, and other notes of the
Company that rank pari passu with the Notes to the extent required by the
agreements governing the terms of any such other notes at a purchase price in
cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the Purchase Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may
defer making any Offer to Purchase outstanding Notes until there are aggregate
unutilized Net Available Proceeds from Asset Dispositions otherwise subject to
the two immediately preceding sentences equal to or in excess of $15.0 million
(at which time, the entire unutilized Net Available Proceeds from Asset
Dispositions otherwise subject to the two immediately preceding sentences, and
not just the amount in excess of $15.0 million, shall be applied as required
pursuant to this paragraph).  Any remaining Net Available Proceeds following the
completion of the required Offer to Purchase may be used by the Company for any
other purpose (subject to the other provisions of the Indenture) and the amount
of Net Available Proceeds then required to be otherwise applied in accordance
with this covenant shall be reset to zero.  The provisions of this Section 4.05
will not apply to a transaction consummated in compliance with the provisions of
Article Five of this Indenture.
<PAGE>

                                      -35-

          Pending application as set forth above, the Net Available Proceeds of
any Asset Disposition may be invested in Cash or Cash Equivalents or used to
reduce temporarily Indebtedness outstanding under any revolving credit agreement
to which the Company is a party and pursuant to which it has incurred
Indebtedness.

          In the event that the Company makes an Offer to Purchase the
Securities, the Company shall comply with any applicable securities laws and
regulations, including any applicable requirements of Section 14(e) of, and Rule
14e-1 under, the Exchange Act.

     proceeds received by the Company from, or as a capital contribution in
     connection with, the issuance of Qualified Stock either upon the conversion

          The Company may designate any Subsidiary of the Company (other than
the License Subsidiary, the Real Property Subsidiary and the Equipment
Subsidiary) as an "Unrestricted Subsidiary" under this Indenture (a
"Designation") only if:

             (i)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation; and

             (ii)   the Company would be permitted under this Indenture to make
     an Investment at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of
     such Designation) in an amount (the "Designation Amount") equal to the Fair
     Market Value of the aggregate amount of its Investments in such Subsidiary
     on such date; and

             (iii)  except in the case of a Subsidiary in which an Investment is
     being made pursuant to and as permitted by Section 4.06(b), the Company
     would be permitted to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to
     clause (i) of Section 4.04 at the time of Designation (assuming the

          In the event of any such Designation, the Company shall be deemed to
have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section
4.06 for all purposes of this Indenture in the Designation Amount.

          The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, at any time (x) provide direct or indirect credit support for or a guarantee
of any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including of any
undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness), (y) be
directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted
Subsidiary or (z) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness which
provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both)
declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or
payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default
with respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any
right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary), except,
in the case of clause (x) or (y), to the extent permitted under Section 4.06.

The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary (a "Revocation"), whereupon such Subsidiary shall then constitute a
Restricted Subsidiary, if:

          (a)  no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of
     and after giving effect to such Revocation; and

          (b)  all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary
     outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if incurred at
     such time, have been permitted to be incurred for all purposes of this
     Indenture.
<PAGE>

                                      -43-

assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and the Restricted
Subsidiaries), whether as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one
transaction or a series of related transactions, including by way of liquidation
or dissolution, to any Person unless, in each such case: (i) the entity formed
by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be), or to which such sale,
assignment, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made (the
"Surviving Entity"), is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
-----------------
the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (ii) the
Surviving Entity assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the

Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.04(i);
(iv) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating any
Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the

transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; and (v) if, as a result of any such transaction, property or assets
of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary would become subject to a Lien not
excepted from restrictions on Liens set forth in Section 4.17, the Company, the
Restricted Subsidiary or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall have
secured the Securities as required by Section 4.17.  The provisions of this
Section 5.01 shall not apply to any merger of a Restricted Subsidiary with or

execution thereof) in accordance with Section 5.01, the Surviving Person shall
succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of
and shall assume all obligations of, the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case
may be, under this Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the
Securities or the Guarantees, as the case may be, with the same effect as if
such Surviving Person had been named as the Company or such Subsidiary, as the
case may be, herein and therein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease,
the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under
this Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Securities or the
Guarantees, as the case may be.

                    --------------
Federal, state or foreign law for the relief of debtors.  The term "Custodian"

official under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 6.02.  Acceleration.
               ------------

          If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to
the Company specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i)) shall occur and be continuing,
either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Securities by notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee, if given by the Holders) may accelerate the maturity of all Securities;
provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree
--------  -------
based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Securities may rescind and annul such acceleration if all
Defaults, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, have been cured
or waived as provided in this Indenture.  If an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(h) or (i) occurs, the outstanding Securities will ipso facto become
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder.

SECTION 6.03.  Other Remedies.
               --------------

          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the
payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any
of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy
maturing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No remedy is
exclusive of any other remedy.  All available remedies are cumulative to the
extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.04.  Waiver of Past Default.
               ----------------------

          Subject to Sections 2.09, 6.07 and 10.02, prior to the declaration of
acceleration of the Securities, (i) the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities by written notice to
the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences, except a Default
in the payment of principal of and interest on any Security as specified in
Section 6.01(a) or (b), (ii) a default arising from failure to effect an Offer
to Purchase required under Section 4.05 or 4.14 or (iii) a Default in respect of
any term or provision of this Indenture that may not be amended or modified
without the consent of each Holder affected as provided in Section 10.02.  The
Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the
requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching
copies of such consents.  In case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder
and under the Securities, respectively.  This paragraph of this Section 6.04
shall be in lieu of (S) 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such (S) 316(a)(1)(B) of the
TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Securities, as
permitted by the TIA.

          Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed
to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every
purpose of this Indenture and the Securities, but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.05.  Control by Majority.
               -------------------

          Subject to Section 2.09, the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on 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 another Securityholder, or
that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the
                                                    --------  -------
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction.  In the event the Trustee takes any action or
follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled
to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against any loss or
expense caused by taking such action or following such direction.  This Section
6.05 shall be in lieu of (S) 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA, and such (S) 316(a)(1)(A)
of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Securities,
as permitted by the TIA.

SECTION 6.06.  Limitation on Suits.
               -------------------

          A Securityholder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Securities unless:

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

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

          (3)  such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the
     Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability
     or expense;
<PAGE>

                                      -47-

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

          (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate
     principal amount of the outstanding Securities (excluding Affiliates of the
     Company) do not give the Trustee a direction which, in the opinion of the
     Trustee, is inconsistent with the request.

          A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of
another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other
Securityholder.

          Section 6.06 limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder

any Holder to receive payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest

overdue on principal and to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,

                                                                       --- -----

Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or
any other obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall
be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property

Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.  Nothing

respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.

          If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article
Six, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

          First:  to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

          Second:  subject to Articles Eight and Twelve, to Holders for amounts

     respectively; and

          Third:  to the Company.

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

          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 Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party
litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant.  This Section 6.11 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by
a Holder or group of Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the
enforcement or the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any
Securities on or after the respective due dates therefor.

SECTION 7.01.  Duties of Trustee.
               -----------------

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

          (b)  Except during the continuance of a Default:

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

          (2)    In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
     conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
     the opin-
<PAGE>

                                      -49-

     ions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions conforming to the
     requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, the Trustee shall
                                     --------  -------
     examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they
     conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or
     investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated
     therein).

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

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

                  (d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in
the performance of any of its duties hereunder or to take or omit to take any
action under this Indenture or take any action at the request or direction of
Holders if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds is not assured to it or it does not receive an indemnity satisfactory to
it in its sole discretion against such risk, liability, loss, fee or expense
which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

                  (e) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates
to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section
7.01.

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

SECTION 7.02.  Rights of Trustee.
               -----------------

          Subject to Section 7.01:

                  (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected
     in acting or refraining from acting on 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
     consult with counsel of its selection and may require an Officers'
     Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the
     provisions of Section 13.05. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action
     it takes, suffers or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such
     certificate or opinion.

                  (c) The Trustee may act through attorneys and agents of its
     selection and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of
     any agent or attorney (other than an agent who is an employee of the
     Trustee) appointed with due care.
<PAGE>

                                      -50-

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

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

          (f)  Provided the Trustee acts in good faith, the Trustee shall not be
     bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
     resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
     request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence
     of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
     discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
     or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make
     such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
     books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or
     attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or
     additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or
     investigation.

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

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

          (i)  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 Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  Any Agent
may do the same with like rights.  However, the Trustee is subject to Sections
7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.04.  Trustee's Disclaimer.
               --------------------

          The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation
as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not
be accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it
shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or
any document issued in connection with the sale of Securities or any statement
in the Securities other than the Trustee's certificate of authentication.
<PAGE>

                                      -51-

SECTION 7.05.  Notice of Defaults.
               ------------------

          The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default
or Event of Default with respect to the Securities, give the Holders notice of
all uncured Defaults or Events of Default known to it; provided, however, that,
                                                       --------  -------
except in the case of an Event of Default or a Default in any payment with
respect to the Securities or a Default or Event of Default in complying with
Section 5.01, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and
so long as the Board, the executive committee or a trust committee or
responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding
of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

SECTION 7.06.  Reports by Trustee to Holders.
               -----------------------------

          If required by TIA (S) 313(a), within 60 days after each May 15
beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee
shall mail to each Securityholder a report dated as of such May 15 that complies
with TIA (S) 313(a).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA (S) 313(b), (c) and
(d).

          A copy of each such report at the time of its mailing to
Securityholders shall be filed with the Commission, the Company and each stock
exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed in accordance with TIA (S)
313(d).

          The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing if the
Securities become listed on any securities exchange or of any delisting
therefrom.

SECTION 7.07.  Compensation and Indemnity.
               --------------------------

          The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in
writing for its services.  The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by
any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company shall
reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses
and advances (including reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of its
agents and counsel) incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for
its services except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may be
attributable to the Trustee's negligence or bad faith.  Such expenses shall
include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's
agents, accountants, experts and counsel and any taxes or other expenses
incurred by a trust created pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.

          The Company shall indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and
their agents for, and hold them harmless against any and all loss, damage,
claims, liability or expense, including taxes (other than franchise taxes
imposed on the Trustee and taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the
income of the Trustee), arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and
expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including Section
7.07) and of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by any
Securityholder or the Company or any other person) or liability in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder,
except to the extent that such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense is due
to their own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.  The Trustee shall
notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which
it may seek indemnity.  However, the failure by the Trustee to so notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder (unless and
only to the extent that such failure results in the loss or compromise of any
rights or defenses).  The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall
cooperate in the defense (and may employ its own counsel) at the Company's
expense; provided, however, that the Com-
         --------  -------
<PAGE>

                                      -52-

pany's reimbursement obligation with respect to counsel employed by the Trustee
will be limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company
need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) occurs, the expenses (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the compensation for
the services shall be preferred over the status of the Holders in a proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.  The Company's obligations under this
Section 7.07 and any claim arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or
removal of any Trustee, the discharge of the Company's obligations pursuant to
Article Nine and any rejection or termination under any Bankruptcy Law.

          The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities as to all
property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any
predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, except with respect to funds
held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.

          The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of
this Indenture.

SECTION 7.08.  Replacement of Trustee.
               ----------------------

          The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in
writing.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and
the Company in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company's
consent.  The Company may remove the Trustee if:

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

          (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent under any
     Bankruptcy Law;

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

          (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to
herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  As promptly as
practicable after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of
all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all property held
by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided in
Section 7.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective, and the successor Trustee shall have the rights, powers and duties of
the Trustee under this Indenture.  A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its
succession to each Securityholder.

          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 outstanding
Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Trustee.
<PAGE>

                                      -53-

          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.09.  Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
               --------------------------------

          If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation or banking corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation or banking corporation without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee.

SECTION 7.10.  Eligibility; Disqualification.
               -----------------------------

          This Indenture shall always have a Trustee which shall be eligible to
act as Trustee under TIA (S)(S) 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(5).  The Trustee (or in the
case of a corporation included in a bank holding company, the related bank
holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0
million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.
If the Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting interest" within the
meaning of TIA (S) 310(b), the Trustee and the Company shall comply with the
provisions of TIA (S) 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded
                              --------  -------
from the operation of TIA (S) 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which
other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other
securities, of the Company are outstanding, if the requirements for such
exclusion set forth in TIA (S) 310(b)(1) are met.  If at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinbefore specified in this Article Seven.

SECTION 7.11.  Preferential Collection of Claims
               Against Company.
               ---------------------------------

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

SECTION 8.01.  Securities Subordinated to Senior Debt.
               --------------------------------------

          The Company covenants and agrees, and the Trustee and each Holder by
acceptance of the Securities likewise covenant and agree, that all Securities
shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article; and each person
holding any Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment
or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees that all payments of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest) on the Securities
by the Company shall, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article,
be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in
cash of all existing and future Senior Debt of the Company.
<PAGE>

                                      -54-

SECTION 8.02.  No Payment on Securities in
               Certain Circumstances.
               ---------------------------

          (a)  No direct or indirect payment by or on behalf of the Company of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest) on
the Securities (other than payments to Holders from funds held in trust for the
benefit of Holders pursuant to Section 9.01), whether pursuant to the terms of
the Securities or upon acceleration, by way of repurchase, redemption,
defeasance or otherwise, will be made if, at the time of such payment, there
exists a default in the payment when due of all or any portion of the
obligations under or in respect of any Designated Senior Debt, whether at
maturity, on account of mandatory redemption or prepayment, acceleration or
otherwise, and such default shall not have been cured or waived or the benefits
of this sentence waived by or on behalf of the holders of Designated Senior
Debt.  In addition, during the continuance of any non-payment default or non-
payment event of default with respect to any Designated Senior Debt pursuant to
which the maturity thereof may be accelerated, and upon receipt by the Trustee
of written notice (a "Payment Blockage Notice") from a holder or holders of such
                      -----------------------
Designated Senior Debt or the trustee or agent acting on behalf of such
Designated Senior Debt, then, unless and until such default or event of default
has been cured or waived or has ceased to exist or such Designated Senior Debt
has been discharged or repaid in full in cash, or the requisite holders of such
Designated Senior Debt have otherwise agreed in writing, no payment or
distribution will be made by or on behalf of the Company on account of or with
respect to the Securities (except payments to Holders from funds held in trust
for the benefit of Holders pursuant to Section 9.01), during a period (a
"Payment Blockage Period") commencing on the date of receipt of such Payment
------------------------
Blockage Notice by the Trustee and ending 179 days thereafter.

          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) in no event will
a Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the date the Payment
Blockage Notice in respect thereof was given and (y) there must be 180 days in
any 360-day period during which no Payment Blockage Period is in effect. Not
more than one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced with respect to the
Securities during any period of 360 consecutive days. No default or event of
default that existed or was continuing on the date of commencement of any
Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Debt initiating
such Payment Blockage Period may be, or be made, the basis for the commencement
of any other Payment Blockage Period by the holder or holders of such Designated
Senior Debt or the trustee or agent acting on behalf of such Designated Senior
Debt, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such
default or event of default has been cured or waived for a period of not less
than 90 consecutive days.

          (b)  In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment
shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder when such payment is prohibited
by Section 8.02(a), such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Designated Senior Debt or
their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture pursuant to which any of such Designated Senior Debt may have been
issued, as their respective interests may appear, but only to the extent that,
upon notice from the Trustee to the holders of Designated Senior Debt that such
prohibited payment has been made, the holders of the Designated Senior Debt (or
their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in
writing of the amounts then due and owing on the Designated Senior Debt, if any,
and only the amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall be paid to
the holders of Designated Senior Debt.

SECTION 8.03.  Payment Over of Proceeds upon Dissolution, etc.
               ----------------------------------------------

          (a)  Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities of the
Company of any kind or character (whether in cash, property or securities) upon
any dissolution or winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization
of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency,
receiver-

ship or other proceedings, all amounts due or to become due with respect to
Senior Debt of the Company (including any interest accruing subsequent to an
event of bankruptcy or insolvency, whether or not allowed or allowable
thereunder) shall first be paid in full in cash, before the Holders or the
Trustee on their behalf shall be entitled to receive any payment by the Company
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, or any
payment to acquire any of the Securities for cash, property or securities, or
any distribution with respect to the Securities of any cash, property or
securities. Before any payment may be made by, or on behalf of, the Company of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities upon any such
dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment or
distribution of assets or securities of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities
or the Trustee on their behalf would be entitled, but for the subordination
provisions of this Indenture, shall be made by the Company or by any receiver,
trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such
payment or distribution, directly to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company
(pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt
held by such holders) or their representative(s) or to the trustee(s) under any
indenture pursuant to which any such Senior Debt may have been issued as their
respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior
Debt in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or
provision therefor to or for the holders of such Senior Debt.

          (b)  In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provision
prohibiting such payment or distribution, any payment or distribution of assets
or securities of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property
or securities, shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder at a time when
such payment or distribution is prohibited by Section 8.03(a) and before all
obligations in respect of Senior Debt are paid in full, or payment provided for,
such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the benefit
of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Debt or their
respective representative(s), or to the trustee(s) under any indenture pursuant
to which any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective
interests may appear, for application to the payment of Senior Debt remaining
unpaid until all such Senior Debt has been paid in full after giving effect to
any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders
of such Senior Debt.

SECTION 8.04.  Subrogation.
               -----------

          Upon the payment in full of all Senior Debt, or provision for payment,
the Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all pari passu
                                                              ---- -----
Indebtedness) to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to receive payments or
distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company made on such Senior
Debt until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities
shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or
securities to which the Holders or the Trustee on their behalf would be entitled
except for the provisions of this Article, and no payment over pursuant to the
provisions of this Article to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders or the
Trustee on their behalf shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than
holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the
Company to or on account of the Senior Debt.  It is understood that the
provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of
defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of
the Senior Debt, on the other hand.

          If any payment or distribution to which the Holders would otherwise
have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article shall have been
applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Article, to the payment of all
amounts payable under Senior Debt, then and in such case, the Holders shall be
entitled to receive from the holders of such Senior Debt any payments or
distributions received by such holders of Senior Debt in excess of the amount
required to make payment in full, or provision for payment, of such Senior Debt.

SECTION 8.05.  Obligations of Company Unconditional.
               ------------------------------------

          Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company and the
Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay to the Holders the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the
Holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Debt,
nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Holder or the Trustee on their
behalf from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon
default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article
of the holders of the Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of
the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in
this Article shall restrict the right of the Trustee or the Holders to take any
action to declare the Securities to be due and payable prior to their stated
maturity pursuant to Section 6.01 or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder;
provided, however, that all Senior Debt then due and payable shall first be paid
--------  -------
in full before the Holders or the Trustee are entitled to receive any direct or
indirect payment from the Company of principal of or interest on the Securities.

SECTION 8.06.  Notice to Trustee.
               -----------------

          The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or
by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this
Article.  Failure to give such notice to the Trustee shall not affect the
subordination of the Securities to Senior Debt.  The Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of the existence of any default or event of default with
respect to any Senior Debt or of any other facts which would prohibit the making
of any payment to or by the Trustee unless and until the Trustee shall have
received notice in writing to that effect signed by an Officer of the Company,
or by a holder of Senior Debt or trustee or agent therefor; and prior to the
receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall, subject to Article Seven,
be entitled to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the
                                                --------  -------
Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 8.06 at
least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms of this
Indenture any moneys shall become payable for any purpose (including, without
limitation, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any
Security), then, regardless of anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee
shall have full power and authority to receive any moneys from the Company and
to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after
such prior date.  Nothing contained in this Section 8.06 shall limit the right
of the holders of Senior Debt to recover payments as contemplated by Section
8.02 or 8.03.  The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the
delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or itself to
be a holder of any Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of, or other
representative of, such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by
a holder of such Senior Debt or a trustee or representative on behalf of any
such holder.

          In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that any
evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of
Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this
Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by
such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such
Person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee
may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the
right of such Person to receive such payment.

SECTION 8.07.  Reliance on Judicial Order or
               Certificate of Liquidating Agent.
               --------------------------------

          Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities referred to
in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled
to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in
which bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization
proceedings are pending, or upon a certificate of the receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or
distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the
holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount
thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon
and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.

SECTION 8.08.  Trustee's Relation to Senior Debt.
               ---------------------------------

          The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall be entitled to all the rights
set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Debt which may at any time
be held by it in its individual or any other capacity to the same extent as any
other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the
Trustee or any Paying Agent of any of its rights as such holder.

          With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to
perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Article, and no implied covenants or obligations
with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture
against the Trustee.  The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty
to the holders of Senior Debt (except as provided in Section 8.03(b)).  The
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of Senior Debt or
of any facts that would prohibit any payment hereunder unless the Trustee shall
have received written notice to that effect at the address of the Trustee set
forth in Section 13.02.

SECTION 8.09.  Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of the
               Company or Holders of Senior Debt.
               ----------------------------------

          No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Debt to
enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company
or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any
noncompliance by the Company with the terms of this Indenture, regardless of any
knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.
The provisions of this Article are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall
be enforceable directly by, the holders of Senior Debt.

SECTION 8.10.  Securityholders Authorize Trustee To Effectuate Subordination of
               ----------------------------------------------------------------
               Securities.
               -----------

          Each Holder of Securities by his acceptance of such Securities
authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action
as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in
this Article, and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purposes,
including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business and assets
of the Company, the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of its or his
Securities in the form required in those proceedings.

SECTION 8.11.  This Article Not to Prevent Events of Default.
               ---------------------------------------------

          The failure to make a payment on account of principal of or interest
on the Securities by reason of any provision of this Article shall not be
construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a), (b) or (c).

SECTION 8.12.  Trustee's Compensation Not Prejudiced.
               -------------------------------------

          Nothing in this Article shall apply to amounts due to the Trustee
pursuant to other sections in this Indenture.

SECTION 8.13.  No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.
               -------------------------------------

          Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 8.09, the
holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without
incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without impairing
or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the obligations
hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Debt, do any
one or more of the following:  (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment
or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt or any
instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is
outstanding or secured; (b) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any
property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (c) release any
Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Debt; and (d) exercise
or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.

SECTION 8.14.  Subordination Provisions Not Applicable to Money Held in Trust
               for Securityholders; Payments May Be Paid Prior to Dissolution.
               --------------------------------------------------------------

          All money and United States Government Obligations deposited in trust
with the Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with Article Nine shall be for
the sole benefit of the Holders and shall not be subject to this Article Eight.

          Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture shall
prevent (i) the Company, except under the conditions described in Section 8.02,
from making payments of principal of and interest on the Securities, or from
depositing with the Trustee any moneys for such payments or from effecting a
termination of the Company's and the Guarantors' obligations under the
Securities and this Indenture as provided in Article Nine, or (ii) the
application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it for the purpose of
making such payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Securities, to the holders entitled thereto unless at least three Business Days
prior to the date upon which such payment becomes due and payable, the Trustee
shall have received the written notice provided for in Section 8.02(b) or in
Section 8.06.

                             DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

SECTION 9.01.  Termination of Company's Obligations.
               ------------------------------------

          (a)  Discharge.  Subject to the provisions of Article Eight, the

Company may terminate its substantive obligations and the substantive
obligations of the Guarantors, if any, in respect of the Securities and the
Guarantees by delivering all outstanding Securities to the Trustee for
cancellation and paying all sums payable by the Company on account of principal

understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such
91st day)) and provided that no default under any Senior Debt would result
therefrom, terminate its substantive obligations and the substantive obligations
of the Guarantors, if any, in respect of the Securities and the Guarantees
(except for the Company's obligation to pay the principal of (and premium, if
any, on) and the interest on the Securities and such Guarantors' guarantee
thereof) by (i) depositing with the Trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable
trust agreement, money or direct non-callable obligations of the United States

pay all remaining indebtedness on the Securities to maturity or to redemption,
(ii) delivering to the Trustee either an Opinion of Counsel or a ruling directed
to the Trustee from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders
will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
result of such deposit and termination of obligations, (iii) delivering to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company's exercise of its
option under this paragraph will not result in the Company, the Trustee or the
trust created by the Company's deposit of funds pursuant to this provision
becoming or being deemed to be an "investment company" under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, and (iv) delivering to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that there has been
compliance with all conditions precedent provided for herein.

          (c)  Legal Defeasance.  In addition to the provisions of Section
               ----------------
9.01(a) and (b), the Company may, provided that no Default or Event of Default

condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 91st day)) and provided
that no default under any Senior Debt would result therefrom, terminate all of
its substantive obligations and all of the substantive obligations of the
Guarantors in respect of the Securities and the Guarantees (including the
Company's obligation to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and
interest on the Securities and such Guarantors' guarantee thereof) by (i)

money or United States Government Obligations sufficient (without reinvestment)
to pay all remaining indebtedness on the Securities to maturity or to
redemption, (ii) delivering to the Trustee either a ruling directed to the

Federal tax law since the date of this Indenture, to such effect, (iii)
delivering to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Company's
exercise of its option under this paragraph will not result in the Company, the

1940, as amended, and (iv) delivering to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that there has been compliance with all
conditions precedent provided for herein.

          (d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs 9.01(b) and (c) above,
the Company's obligations contained in Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 4.02,
7.07, 7.08, 9.03 and 9.04 shall survive until the Securities are no longer
outstanding.  In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph 9.01(b), in
that instance the Company's obligations contained in Section 4.01 shall also
survive until the Securities are no longer outstanding.  Thereafter the
Company's obligations in Section 7.07, 9.03 and 9.04 shall survive.  The Company
may make an irrevocable deposit pursuant to this Section 9.01 only if at such
time it is not prohibited from doing so under the subordination provisions of
this Indenture and the Company has delivered to the Trustee and any Paying Agent
an Officers' Certificate to that effect.  After such delivery or irrevocable
deposit and delivery of an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the
Trustee upon request of the Company shall acknowledge in writing the discharge
of the Company's and the Guarantors' (if any) obligations under the Securities,
the Guarantees and this Indenture other than those surviving obligations
specified in this paragraph (d).

SECTION 9.02.  Application of Trust Money.
               --------------------------

          The Trustee shall hold in trust money or United States Government
Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 9.01, and shall apply the
deposited money and the money from United States Government Obligations in
accordance with this Indenture solely to the payment of principal of and
interest on the Securities.  The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the United States
Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.01 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 outstanding Securities.

SECTION 9.03.  Repayment to Company.
               --------------------

          Subject to Sections 7.07 and 9.01, the Trustee shall promptly pay to
the Company upon receipt by the Trustee of the Company's written request
accompanied by an Officers' Certificate any excess money held by it at any time.
The Trustee shall pay to the Company upon such request any money held by it for
the payment of principal (premium, if any) or interest that remains unclaimed
for two years; provided, however, that the Trustee before being required to make
               --------  -------
any payment may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in a
newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each Holder
entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after
a date specified therein which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such
publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall
be repaid to the Company.  After payment to the Company, Securityholders
entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors
unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person, and all
liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such money shall
thereupon cease.

SECTION 9.04.  Reinstatement.
               -------------

          If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or United States
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01 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 the Guarantors'(if any) obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 9.01 until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply
all such money or United States Government Obligations in accordance with
Section 9.01; provided, however, that
              --------  -------
<PAGE>

                                      -61-

if the Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of any
Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
payment from the money or United States Government Obligations held by the
Trustee.

     redemption payment with respect to, any Security (except a rescission of
     acceleration of the Securities by the Holders as provided in this Indenture
     and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

          (9)  modify the ranking or priority of the Securities or the
     Guarantee, or modify the definition of Senior Debt or Designated Senior
     Debt or amend or modify the subordination provisions of this Indenture in
     any manner adverse to the Holders;

          (10) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its
     Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with this
     Indenture; or

          (11) modify any of the provisions (including the definitions
     relating thereto) relating to an Offer to Purchase required under Section
     4.05 or 4.14 in a manner materially adverse to the Holders of
<PAGE>

                                      -63-

     Securities with respect to Change of Control that has occurred or any Asset
     Disposition that has been consummated.

          The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities, on behalf of all Holders of Securities, may waive
compliance by the Company with certain restrictive provisions of this Indenture.
Subject to certain rights of the Trustee, as provided in this Indenture, (i) the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Securities, on behalf of all Holders of Securities, may waive any past default
under this Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal, premium or
interest or a default arising from failure to purchase any Security tendered
pursuant to an Offer to Purchase required pursuant to Section 4.14, or a default
in respect of a provision that under this Indenture cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected.

          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this
Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or
waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance
thereof.

SECTION 10.03.  Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
                -----------------------------------

          Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities
shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 10.04.  Revocation and Effect of Consents.
                ---------------------------------

          Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a
Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that
Security or portion of that Security that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any
Security.  Subject to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent
Holder may revoke the consent as to such Holder's Security or portion of such
Security by written notice to the Trustee or the Company received before the
date on which the Trustee receives an Officers' Certificate certifying that the
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have consented (and not
theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

          The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for
the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver.  If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the last
sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders
at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons,
shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to
revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be
Holders after such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for
more than 90 days after such record date.

          After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall
bind every Securityholder, unless it makes a change described in the second
sentence of Section 10.02.  In that case the amendment, supplement or waiver
shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder's Security.
<PAGE>

                                      -64-

SECTION 10.05.  Notation on or Exchange of Securities.
                -------------------------------------

          If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security,
the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed
terms and return it to the Holder.  Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee
so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the
Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not
affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 10.06.  Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc.
                -------------------------------

          The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected
in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers' Certificate each stating
that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to
this Article Ten is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such
amendment, supplement or waiver constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable in accordance with its
terms (subject to customary exceptions).  The Trustee shall execute any
amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Ten,
provided, however, that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute
--------  -------
any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee's own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.  In signing any
amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                                   GUARANTEE

SECTION 11.01.  Unconditional Guarantee.
                -----------------------

          Each Guarantor who becomes a party to this Indenture hereby
unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees to each Holder of a Security
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors
and assigns that:  the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including
Additional Interest) on the Securities will be promptly paid in full when due,
subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and interest on any overdue
interest (including Additional Interest) on the Securities and all other
obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the
Securities will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with
the terms hereof and thereof; subject, however, to the limitations set forth in
Section 11.04.  Each such Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder
shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities 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 such 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 covenants that the Guarantee will
not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in
the Securities, this Indenture, and such Guarantee.  If any Holder or the
Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any
Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official
acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the
Company or any
<PAGE>

                                      -65-

Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent
theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and
the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for
the purpose of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations
as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable)
shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this
Guarantee.

SECTION 11.02.  Severability.
                ------------

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

SECTION 11.03.  Release of a Guarantor.
                ----------------------

          If the Securities are defeased in accordance with Section 9.01(c), or
if all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor is sold (including by issuance or
otherwise) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in a transaction
constituting an Asset Disposition (or which, but for the provisions of clause
(c) of the definition of such term, would constitute an Asset Disposition), and,
if required by this Indenture, (x) the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset
Disposition are used in accordance with Section 4.05 or (y) the Company delivers
to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate covenanting that the Net Available
Proceeds from such Asset Disposition will be used in accordance with Section
4.05 and within the time limits specified by such Section 4.05, then such
Guarantor shall be released and discharged from all obligations under this
Article Eleven upon such use in the case of clause (x) or upon such delivery in
the case of clause (y).  The Trustee shall, at the sole cost and expense of the
Company and upon receipt of an Opinion of Counsel that the provisions of this
Section 11.03 have been complied with, deliver an appropriate instrument
evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by
an Officers' Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this Section.  Any
Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full amount of principal of
(premium, if any) and interest on the Securities and the other obligations of
the Company hereunder as provided in this Article Eleven.

SECTION 11.04.  Limitation of Guarantor's Liability.
                -----------------------------------

          Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder and the
Trustee, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the
guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of title 11 of the United States
Code, as amended, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act or any similar U.S. Federal or state or other applicable law.  To
effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such Guarantor hereby
irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee
shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to
any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or
pursuant to Section 11.05, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the
Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 11.05.  Contribution.
                ------------

          In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the
Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or
                                  ----- --
distribution is made by any Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor") under the
                                          -----------------
Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all
other Guarantors in a
<PAGE>

                                      -66-

pro rata amount, based on the net assets of each Guarantor (including the
--- ----
Funding Guarantor), determined in accordance with GAAP, subject to Section
11.04, for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor
in discharging the Company's obligations with respect to the Securities or any
other Guarantor's obligations with respect to the Guarantee.

SECTION 11.06.  Execution of Guarantee.
                ----------------------

          To further evidence their Guarantee to the Holders, any Guarantor
required to Guarantee the Securities pursuant to Section 4.18 shall execute the
endorsement of Guarantee in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A
                                                                ---------
hereto, which endorsement shall be delivered to each Holder to be attached to
each Security.  Each such Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth
in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantee.  Each such
Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by its Chairman of the
Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents prior to the authentication
of the Security on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Security by
the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due
delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor.  Such signature upon the
Guarantee may be manual or facsimile signature of such officer and may be
imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case such officer who
shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such officer before the
Security on which such Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Security
nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the
Person who signed the Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer of the
Guarantor.

SECTION 11.07.  Subordination of Subrogation and Other Rights.
                ---------------------------------------------

          Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any claim against the Company that
arises from the payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor's
obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture, including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation, shall be subject and subordinate to, and
no payment with respect to any such claim of such Guarantor shall be made
before, the payment in full in cash of all outstanding Securities in accordance
with the provisions provided therefor in this Indenture.

                                ARTICLE TWELVE

                          SUBORDINATION OF GUARANTEE

SECTION 12.01.  Guarantee Obligations Subordinated
                to Senior Debt of Guarantor.
                ----------------------------------

          Each Guarantor covenants and agrees, and the Trustee and each Holder
of the Securities by his acceptance thereof likewise covenant and agree, that
the Guarantees shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article; and
each person holding any Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer,
assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees that all payments of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest) on
the Securities pursuant to the Guarantee made by or on behalf of any Guarantor
shall, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article, be
subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash
of all existing and future Senior Debt of such Guarantor.
<PAGE>

                                      -67-

SECTION 12.02.  No Payment on Guarantees in
                Certain Circumstances.
                ---------------------------

          (a)   No direct or indirect payment by or on behalf of any Guarantor
of principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest) on
the Securities (other than payments to Holders from funds held in trust for the
benefit of Holders pursuant to Section 9.01) pursuant to such Guarantor's
Guarantee, whether pursuant to the terms of the Securities, upon acceleration or
otherwise, will be made if, at the time of such payment, there exists a default
in the payment of all or any portion of the obligations under or in respect of
any Designated Senior Debt of such Guarantor whether at maturity, on account of
mandatory redemption or prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, and such default
shall not have been cured or waived or the benefits of this sentence waived by
or on behalf of Holders of Designated Senior Debt. In addition, during the
continuance of any non-payment default or non-payment event of default with
respect to any Designated Senior Debt pursuant to which the maturity thereof may
be accelerated, and upon receipt by the Trustee of written notice (the
"Guarantor Payment Blockage Notice") from a holder or holders of such Designated
 ---------------------------------
Senior Debt or the trustee or agent acting on behalf of such Designated Senior
Debt, then, unless and until such default or event of default has been cured or
waived or has ceased to exist or such Designated Senior Debt has been discharged
or repaid in full in cash, or the requisite holders of such Designated Senior
Debt have otherwise agreed in writing, no payment or distribution will be made
by or on behalf of such Guarantor on account of or with respect to the
Securities (other than payments to Holders from funds held in trust for the
benefit of Holders pursuant to Section 9.01), during a period (a "Guarantor
                                                                  ---------
Blockage Period") commencing on the date of receipt of such Guarantor Payment
---------------
Blockage Notice by the Trustee and ending 179 days thereafter.

          Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Securities to the contrary,
(x) in no event shall a Guarantor Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from
the date the Guarantor Payment Blockage Notice was given and (y) there must be
180 days in any 365 day period during which no Guarantor Payment Blockage Period
is in effect with respect to such Guarantor.  Not more than one Guarantor
Blockage Period may be commenced with respect to each Guarantor during any
period of 360 consecutive days.  No default or event of default that existed or
was continuing on the date of commencement of any Guarantor Blockage Period with
respect to the Designated Senior Debt initiating such Guarantor Payment Blockage
Period may be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of any Guarantor
Blockage Period by the holder or holders of such Designated Senior Debt or the
trustee or agent acting on behalf of such Designated Senior Debt, whether or not
within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default
has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

          (b)   In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment
shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder when such payment is prohibited
by Section 12.02(a), such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of such Designated Senior Debt
or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture pursuant to which any of such Designated Senior Debt may have been
issued, as their respective interests may appear, but only to the extent that,
upon notice from the Trustee to the holders of such Designated Senior Debt that
such prohibited payment has been made, the holders of such Designated Senior
Debt (or their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the
Trustee in writing of the amounts then due and owing on such Designated Senior
Debt, if any, and only the amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall
be paid to the holders of such Designated Senior Debt.

SECTION 12.03.  Payment Over of Proceeds upon Dissolution, etc.
                ----------------------------------------------

          (a)   Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities of any
Guarantor of any kind or character (whether in cash, property or securities)
upon any dissolution or winding-up or total or partial liquidation or
reorganization of such Guarantor, whether voluntary or involuntary or in
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all amounts due or to
become due with respect to all Senior Debt of such Guarantor shall first be paid
in full in cash before the Holders or the Trustee on their behalf shall be
entitled to receive any payment by such Guarantor of the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on the Securities pursuant to such Guarantor's Guarantee, or
any payment to acquire any of the Securities for cash, property or securities,
or any distribution with respect to the Securities of any cash, property or
securities.  Before any payment may be made by, or on behalf of, any Guarantor
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities upon any
such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment or
distribution of assets or securities of such Guarantor of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities
or the Trustee on their behalf would be entitled, but for the subordination
provisions of this Indenture, shall be made by such Guarantor or by any
receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person
making such payment or distribution, directly to the holders of the Senior Debt
of such Guarantor or their representative(s) or to the trustee(s) under any
indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, as
their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all such
Senior Debt in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution
or provision therefor to or for the holders of such Senior Debt.

          (b)   In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provision
prohibiting such payment or distribution, any payment or distribution of assets
or securities of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder at a time when such payment or
distribution is prohibited by Section 12.03(a) and before all obligations in
respect of the Senior Debt of such Guarantor are paid in full, or payment
provided for, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust
for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of such
Senior Debt or their respective representative(s), or to the trustee(s) under
any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, as
their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of such
Senior Debt remaining unpaid until all such Senior Debt has been paid in full
after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision
therefor to or for the holders of such Senior Debt.

SECTION 12.04.  Subrogation.
                -----------

          Upon the payment in full of all Senior Debt of a Guarantor, or
provision for payment, the Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with
all pari passu Indebtedness) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to
    ---- -----
receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of, premium,
if any, such Guarantor made on such Senior Debt until the principal of and
interest on the Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such
subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Debt of
any cash, property or securities to which the Holders or the Trustee on their
behalf would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no
payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of such
Senior Debt by Holders or the Trustee on their behalf shall, as between such
Guarantor, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Debt, and the
Holders, be deemed to be a payment by such Guarantor to or on account of such
Senior Debt.  It is understood that the provisions of this Article are and are
intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders,
on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantors, on the other
hand.
<PAGE>

                                      -69-

          If any payment or distribution to which the Holders would otherwise
have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article shall have been
applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Article, to the payment of all
amounts payable under Senior Debt, then and in such case, the Holders shall be
entitled to receive from the holders of such Senior Debt any payments or
distributions received by such holders of Senior Debt in excess of the amount
required to make payment in full, or provision for payment, of such Senior Debt.

SECTION 12.05.  Obligations of Guarantors Unconditional.
                ---------------------------------------

          Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
the Securities or the Guarantee is intended to or shall impair, as among the
Guarantors and the Holders, the obligation of each Guarantor, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with the terms of the Guarantee, or is intended to or shall affect
the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of any Guarantor other than the
holders of Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Holder
or the Trustee on their behalf from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted
by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if
any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash,
property or securities of any Guarantor received upon the exercise of any such
remedy.

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in
this Article shall restrict the right of the Trustee or the Holders to take any
action to declare the Securities to be due and payable prior to their stated
maturity pursuant to Section 6.01 or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder;
provided, however, that all Senior Debt of any Guarantor then due and payable
--------  -------
shall first be paid in full before the Holders or the Trustee are entitled to
receive any direct or indirect payment from such Guarantor of principal of or
interest on the Securities pursuant to such Guarantor's Guarantee.

SECTION 12.06.  Notice to Trustee.
                -----------------

          The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
fact known to the Company or such Guarantor which would prohibit the making of
any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the
provisions of this Article.  Failure to give such notice to the Trustee shall
not affect the subordination of the Securities to Senior Debt of Guarantors.
The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any default
or event of default with respect to any Senior Debt or of any other facts which
would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee unless and until
the Trustee shall have received notice in writing to that effect signed by an
Officer of the Company, or by a holder of Senior Debt or trustee or agent
therefor; and prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee
shall, subject to Article Seven, be entitled to assume that no such facts exist;
provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice
--------  -------
provided for in this Section 12.06 at least three Business Days prior to the
date upon which by the terms of this Indenture any moneys shall become payable
for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Security), then, regardless of anything
herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to
receive any moneys from any Guarantor and to apply the same to the purpose for
which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date.  Nothing
contained in this Section 12.06 shall limit the right of the holders of Senior
Debt of a Guarantor to recover payments as contemplated by Section 12.02 or
12.03.  The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it
of a written notice by a Person representing himself or itself to be a holder of
any Senior Debt of a Guarantor (or a trustee on behalf of, or other
representative of, such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by
a holder of such Senior Debt of a Guarantor or a trustee or representative on
behalf of any such holder.
<PAGE>

                                      -70-

          In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that any
evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of
Senior Debt of a Guarantor to participate in any payment or distribution
pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish
evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such
Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the
rights of such Person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished,
the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination
as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

SECTION 12.07.  Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.
                --------------------------------------------------------------

          Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities of a
Guarantor referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court
of competent jurisdiction in which bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or upon a certificate of
the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders

SECTION 12.08.  Trustee's Relation to Senior Debt of Guarantors.
                -----------------------------------------------

          The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall be entitled to all the rights
set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Debt of Guarantors which
may at any time be held by them in their individual or any other capacity to the
same extent as any other holder of such Senior Debt, and nothing in this
Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or any Paying Agent of any of its rights as
such holder.

          With respect to the holders of a Guarantor's Senior Debt, the Trustee
undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations
as are specifically set forth in this Article, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Debt shall be read into
this Indenture against the Trustee.  The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt of Guarantors (except as provided
in Section 12.03(b)).  The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the
existence of Senior Debt or of any facts that would prohibit any payment
hereunder unless the Trustee shall have received written notice to that effect
at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 13.02.

SECTION 12.09.  Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of the
                Guarantors or Holders of Senior Debt of Guarantors
                -------------------------------------------------------------

          No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Debt of
Guarantors to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any
way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any
Guarantor or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or
by any noncompliance by any Guarantor with the terms of this Indenture,
regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise
be charged with.  The provisions of this Article are intended to be for the
benefit of, and shall be enforceable directly by, the holders of Senior Debt of
Guarantors.

SECTION 12.10.  Securityholders Authorize Trustee to Effectuate
                Subordination of Guarantee.
                -----------------------------------------------

          Each Holder of Securities by his acceptance of such Securities
authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action
as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in
this Article, and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purposes,
including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization of any Guarantor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for
the benefit of creditors or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the
business and assets of such Guarantor, the filing of a claim for the unpaid
balance of its or his Securities in the form required in those proceedings.

SECTION 12.11.  This Article Not to Prevent Events of Default.
                ---------------------------------------------

          The failure to make a payment on account of principal of or interest
on the Securities by reason of any provision of this Article shall not be
construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a), (b) or (c).

SECTION 12.12.  Trustee's Compensation Not Prejudiced.
                -------------------------------------

          Nothing in this Article shall apply to amounts due to the Trustee
pursuant to other sections in this Indenture.

SECTION 12.13.  No Waiver of Guarantee Subordination Provisions.
                -----------------------------------------------

          Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 12.09, the
holders of Senior Debt of Guarantors may, at any time and from time to time,
without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the
Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities
and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or
the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of
Senior Debt of Guarantors, do any one or more of the following:  (a) change the
manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or
alter, Senior Debt of Guarantors or any instrument evidencing the same or any
agreement under which such Senior Debt is outstanding or secured; (b) sell,
exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing such Senior Debt; (c) release any Person liable in any manner
for the collection of such Senior Debt; and (d) exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights against any Guarantor and any other Person.

SECTION 12.14.  Payments May Be Paid Prior to Dissolution.
                -----------------------------------------

          Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture shall
prevent (i) a Guarantor, except under the conditions described in Section 12.02,
from making payments of principal of and interest on the Securities, or from
depositing with the Trustee any moneys for such payments, or (ii) the
application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it for the purpose of
making such payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Securities, to the holders entitled thereto unless at least three Business Days
prior to the date upon which such payment becomes due and payable, the Trustee
shall have received the written notice provided for in Section 12.02(b) or in
Section 12.06.

                   9-3/8% Senior Subordinated Note due 2011

          1.   Interest.
               --------

          Triton PCS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), promises to
pay cash interest at the rate of 9-3/8% per annum on the principal amount of
this Security semiannually commencing on August 1, 2001, until the principal
hereof is paid or made available for payment.  Interest on the Securities will
accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid
or, if no interest has been paid, from and including January 19, 2001, through
but excluding the date on which interest is paid.  If an Interest Payment Date
falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment to be made on
such Interest Payment Date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, and no
additional interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment.  Interest
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

          2.   Method of Payment.
               -----------------

          The interest payable on the Securities, and punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture
(as defined below), be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is
registered at the close of business on the regular record date, which shall be
the January 15 or July 15 (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding such
Interest Payment Date.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly
provided for, and any interest payable on such defaulted interest (to the extent
lawful), will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such regular record
date and shall be paid to the person in whose name this Security is registered
at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such
defaulted interest to be fixed by the Company, notice of which shall be given to
Holders not less than 15 days prior to such special record date.  Payment of the
principal of and interest on this Security will be made at the agency of the
Company maintained for that purpose in New York, New York and at any other
office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose, 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; provided, however, that at the
option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security register.

          3.   Paying Agent and Registrar.
               --------------------------

          Initially, The Bank of New York (the "Trustee") will act as Paying
Agent and Registrar.  The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-
Registrar without notice to the Holders of Securities.  The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar or co-Registrar but may not act as Paying

Company, designated as its 9-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the

stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (the "Act") (15 U.S. Code (S)(S) 77aaa-77bbbb) as in
effect on the date of the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such
terms, and Holders of Securities are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a
statement of them. Each Securityholder, by accepting a Security, agrees to be
bound to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as the same may be
amended from time to time. Payment on each Security is guaranteed on a senior
subordinated basis, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors pursuant to Article
Eleven of the Indenture.

          The Securities are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Debt
of the Company to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture.  Each
Holder of a Security, by accepting a Security, agrees to such subordination,
authorizes the Trustee to give effect to such subordination and appoints the
Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

          Capitalized terms contained in this Security to the extent not defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

          5.   Optional Redemption.
               -------------------

          The Securities will be subject to redemption, at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 1, 2006 and prior
to maturity, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice mailed to each
Holder of Securities to be redeemed, in amounts of $1,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages
of principal amount), plus accrued interest to but excluding the date fixed for

          Year                                        Percentage
          ----                                        ----------

          2007                                        103.125%
          2008                                        101.563%
          2009 and thereafter                         100.000%

          In addition, on or prior to February 1, 2004, the Company may redeem
up to 35% of the principal amount of the Securities originally issued with the
net cash proceeds received by the Company from one or more Equity Offerings, at
a redemption price equal to 109.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption; provided, however,
that at least 65% in aggregate principal amount of Securities remains
outstanding immediately after any such redemption (excluding any Securities
owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates).  Notice of redemption described
in this paragraph must be mailed to Holders of Securities not later than 60 days
following the consummation of the relevant Equity Offering.

          Selection of Securities for any partial redemption shall be made by
the Trustee, in accordance with the rules of any national securities exchange on
which the Securities may be listed or, if the Securities are not so listed, pro
rata or by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall deem appropriate and
fair.  Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part
but only in integral multiples of $1,000. Notice of redemption will be mailed
before the date fixed for redemption to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed
at

his or her registered address. On and after the date fixed for redemption,
interest will cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for
redemption.

          The Securities will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

     6.   Offer to Purchase upon Occurrence
          of a Change of Control.
          ---------------------------------

          Within 30 days following a Change of Control, the Company will offer
to purchase the Securities at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal
amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

          7.   Notice of Redemption.
               --------------------

          Notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30
days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed at his registered address.  Securities in
denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part.  On and after the
redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on those Securities or portion of
them called for redemption.

          8.   Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.
               ---------------------------------

          The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations
of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.  A Holder may transfer or exchange
Securities in accordance with the Indenture.  The Registrar may require a
Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the
Indenture.  The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Securities selected
for redemption.

          9.   Persons Deemed Owners.
               ---------------------

          The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as the owner of it
for all purposes.

          10.  Unclaimed Funds.
               ---------------

          If funds for the payment of principal or interest remain unclaimed for
two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will repay the funds to the Company at
its request.  After such repayment Holders of Securities entitled to such funds
must look to the Company for payment unless an abandoned property law designates
another person.

          11.  Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.
               -----------------------------------------

          The Indenture will be discharged and canceled except for certain
Sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all
the Securities or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of funds or
United States Government Obligations sufficient for such payment or redemption.

          12.  Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.
               -----------------------------

          Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Securities may be
amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities, and any
<PAGE>

                                      -4-

past default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities.
Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Guarantors and
the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities to cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or to make any change that does not
adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Securities.

          13.  Restrictive Covenants.
               ---------------------

          The Indenture restricts, among other things, the ability of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to permit any Liens to be imposed on its
assets, to make certain Restricted Payments and Investments, limits the
Indebtedness which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur and limits
the terms on which the Company may engage in certain Asset Dispositions.  The
Company is also obligated under certain circumstances to make an offer to
purchase Securities with the net cash proceeds of certain Asset Dispositions.
The Company must report quarterly to the Trustee on compliance with the
covenants in the Indenture.

          14.  Successor Corporation.
               ---------------------

          Pursuant to the Indenture, the ability of the Company to consolidate
with, merge with or into or transfer its assets to another person is conditioned
upon certain requirements, including certain financial requirements applicable
to the surviving Person.

          15.  Defaults and Remedies.
               ---------------------

          If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of
all of the outstanding Securities, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to the date the Securities become due and payable, may be declared due and
payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

          16.  Trustee Dealings with Company.
               -----------------------------

          The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities and 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 Trustee.

          17.  No Recourse Against Others.
               --------------------------

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

          18.  Authentication.
               --------------

          This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the
certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

          19.  Abbreviations.
               -------------

          Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of Securityholder or
an assignee, such as TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the
entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as
tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors
Act).

          20.  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 Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in
notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders.  No representation is
made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or
as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

          21.  Governing Law.
               -------------

          The laws of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture and this
Security and the Guarantee without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

          The Company will furnish to any Holder of record of Securities upon
written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture.
