                                  BY REFERENCE

Section 1.01. Definitions.

         "144A Global Note" means a global note substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto bearing the Global Note Legend and the Private Placement Legend
and deposited with or on behalf of, and registered in the name of, the

outstanding principal amount of the Notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A.

         "Acquired Debt" means, with respect to any specified Person, (i)
Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is
merged with or into or became a Subsidiary of such specified Person, whether or
not such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of,
such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Subsidiary of, such
specified Person, provided that Indebtedness of such other Person that is
redeemed, defeased, retired or otherwise repaid immediately upon consummation of
the transaction by which such other Person is merged with or into or became a
Restricted Subsidiary of such Person shall not be Acquired Debt and (ii)
Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any assets acquired by such specified
Person.

         "Additional Notes" means any Notes (other than the Initial Notes)
issued under this Indenture in accordance with Sections 2.02 and 4.09 hereof, as
part of the same series as the Initial Notes.

         "Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date,
the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for such redemption date, plus 50 basis points.

         "Affiliate" of any specified Person means any other Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, "control"
(including, with correlative meanings, the terms "controlling," "controlled by"
and "under common control with"), as used with respect to any Person, shall mean
the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the
direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the
ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise; provided, however,
that beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the voting securities of a Person
shall be deemed to be control. No Person (other than the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company) in whom a Receivables Subsidiary makes an Investment
in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction will be deemed to be an
Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries solely by reason of such
Investment.

         "Agent" means any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar.

of or for beneficial interests in any Global Note, the rules and procedures of
the Depositary, Euroclear and Cedel that apply to such transfer or exchange.

means, at the time of determination, the present value of the obligation of the
lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included
in such sale and leaseback transaction including any period for which such lease
has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended. Such present
value shall be calculated using a discount rate equal to the rate of interest
implicit in such transaction, determined in accordance with GAAP.

         "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar federal or
state law for the relief of debtors.

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

of Directors of the corporation or any authorized committee of the Board of

is to be made, the amount of the liability in respect of a capital lease that
would at such time be required to be capitalized on a balance sheet in
accordance with GAAP.

         "Capital Stock" means any and all shares, interests, participations,
rights or other equivalents (however designated) of corporate stock, including,
without limitation, with respect to partnerships, partnership interests (whether
general or limited) and any other interest or participation that confers on a
Person the right to receive a share of the profits and losses of, or
distributions of assets of, such partnership, other than earnouts.

         "Cash Equivalents" means (i) United States dollars, (ii) securities
issued or directly and fully guaranteed or insured by the full faith and credit

Section 2.01. Form and Dating.

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

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

         (b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in
the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon
and the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note" attached
thereto). Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and
without the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note" attached
thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as
shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed
thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented
thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to
reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect
the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the
Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions
given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

         (c) Euroclear and Cedel Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the
"Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System" and "Terms and Conditions

that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Cedel Bank.

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication.

         One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile
signature. The Company's seal may but need not be reproduced on the Notes and
may be in facsimile form.

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

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

         The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by an
Officer (an "Authentication Order"), authenticate Notes for original issue.

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

Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent.

         The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.
The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional
paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term
"Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify
the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this
Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

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

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

Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

         The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of
Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes, and
will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such
payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment
over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a
Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a
Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate

                                       21

<PAGE>

and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held
by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings
relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05. Holder Lists.

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

Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange.

         (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be
transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary,
by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the
Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary
or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by
the Company for Definitive Notes if (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee
notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as
Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the
Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary or
(ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in
whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a
written notice to such effect to the Trustee. Upon the occurrence of either of
the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in
such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may
be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and
2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu
of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or
Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form
of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another
Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial
interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in
Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

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

             (i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.
         Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred
         to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
         interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the
         transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend;
         provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted
         Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global
         Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of
         a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests
         in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take
         delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an
         Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be
         required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers
         described in this Section 2.06(b)(i).

                                       22

             (ii)  All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in
         Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of
         beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(i) above,
         the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the
         Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an
         Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the
         Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to
         be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount
         equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and
         (2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures
         containing information regarding the Participant account to be
         credited with such increase or (B) (1) a written order from a
         Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in

         beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2)
         instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing
         information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note
         shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in
         (1) above. Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer by the Company in
         accordance with Section 2.06(f) hereof, the requirements of this
         Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon
         receipt by the Registrar of the instructions contained in the Letter
         of Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial interests in
         the Restricted Global Notes. Upon satisfaction of all of the
         requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in
         Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise
         applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the
         principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section
         2.06(h) hereof.

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

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

             must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto,
             including the certifications and certificates and Opinion of
             Counsel required by item (3) thereof, if applicable.

             (iv)  Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted

         beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by
         any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
         Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form
         of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange
         or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) above

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

                  Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such beneficial
                  interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the

             no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the
             Securities Act.

         If any such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (B) or (D)

A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY."

      (h)    Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all
beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for
Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or
canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or
retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At
any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note
is exchanged for or transferred to a Person

                                       31

who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another
Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented
by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be
made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of
the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being

         request.

                (ii)   No service charge shall be made to a holder of a
         beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive
         Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may
         require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
         similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than
         any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon
         exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.13
         and 9.05 hereof).

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

                (iv)   All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any
         registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive

         the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration
         of transfer or exchange.

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

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

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

                (viii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel
         required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06

Section 2.07.   Replacement Notes.

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

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

Section 2.08.   Outstanding Notes.

         The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by
the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the
Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this
Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note
does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company holds the Note.

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

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

         If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money
sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such
Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue
interest.

Section 2.09.   Treasury Notes.

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

Section 2.10.   Temporary Notes.

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

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

                                       33

<PAGE>

Section 2.11.   Cancellation.

         The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy
cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange
Act) unless the Company directs the Trustee to deliver cancelled Notes to the
Company. Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes shall be
delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes
that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12.   Defaulted Interest.

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

                            REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01.   Notices to Trustee.

         If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee,
at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an
Officers' Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to
which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal
amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

Section 3.02.   Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

         If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an
offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed
or purchased among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements
of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are
listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in
accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In
the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed
shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding
Notes not previously called for redemption.

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

                                       34

<PAGE>

sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption
also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03.   Notice of Redemption.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, in the case of any
redemption other than one under Section 3.08 hereof, at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to
be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose
Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

         The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

         (a) the redemption date;

         (b) the redemption price;

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

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

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

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

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

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

         At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's expense.

Section 3.04.   Effect of Notice of Redemption.

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

Section 3.05.   Deposit of Redemption Price.

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

                                       35

<PAGE>

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

Section 3.06.  Notes Redeemed in Part.

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

Section 3.07.  Optional Redemption.

         (a)   Except as set forth below, the Company shall not have the option
to redeem the Notes. The Company shall have the option to redeem the Notes, upon
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice mailed by first-class mail
to each Holder's registered address, in whole or in part, at the greater of the
redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth
below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any,
to the applicable redemption date:

               (i)   101% of the principal amount thereof; or

               (ii)  as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum
         of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments discounted to
         the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year
         consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate.

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

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

Section 3.08.  Mandatory Redemption.

         Except as set forth below in Sections 4.10 and 4.13 hereof, the Company
shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the
Notes.

Section 3.09.  Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

         In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company shall
be required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an "Asset
Sale Offer"), it shall follow the procedures specified below.

         The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days
following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer
period is required by applicable law (the "Offer Period"). No later than five
Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the

                                       36

<PAGE>

"Purchase Date"), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes
required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof (the "Offer Amount")
or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in
response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be
made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

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

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

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

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

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

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

         (e)  that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an
Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in integral multiples of
$1,000 only;

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

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

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

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

                                       37

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

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

any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the

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

his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled
each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the

all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and
what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and

written statement of the Company's independent public accountants (who shall be
a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination
necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to
their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has violated
any provisions of Article 4 or Article 5 hereof or, if any such violation has

to the Holders of the Notes.

         The Company and each of the Guarantors, if any, covenants (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture;

do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and
covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede
the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.07.  Restricted Payments.

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

continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; and

         (b)   the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and

period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first
paragraph of Section 4.09; and

     (c) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all
other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
since August 14, 2001 (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (ii),
(iii) and (iv) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without
duplication, of: (i) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the
period (taken as one accounting period) from July 1, 2001 to the end of the
Company's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial
statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such
Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such
deficit), plus (ii) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the
Company since August 14, 2001 as a contribution to its common equity capital or
from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than
Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of Disqualified Stock or
convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Company that have been
converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity
Interests (or Disqualified Stock or convertible debt securities) sold to a
Subsidiary of the Company), plus (iii) to the extent that any Restricted
Investment that was made after August 14, 2001 is sold for cash or otherwise
liquidated or repaid for cash, the cash return of capital with respect to such
Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any), plus (iv) if any
Unrestricted Subsidiary (A) is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary, the fair
market value of such redesignated Subsidiary (as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company) as of the date of its redesignation or (B)
pays any cash dividends or cash distributions to the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, the amount of any such dividends or distributions made
after August 14, 2001.

     The foregoing provisions shall not prohibit any of the following: (i) the
payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if
at the said date of declaration such dividend payment would have complied with
the provisions of this Indenture; (ii) the redemption, repurchase, retirement,
defeasance or other acquisition of any subordinated Indebtedness of the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary or of any Equity Interests of the Company in
exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent
sale or issuance (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity
Interests of the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock) or from the net
cash proceeds of an equity capital contribution to the Company; provided that
the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such
redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition shall be
excluded from clause (c)(ii) of the preceding paragraph; (iii) the defeasance,
redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of subordinated Indebtedness of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with the net cash proceeds from an
incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness so long as no Default has
occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby; (iv) the payment of any
dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the holders of its Equity
Interests on a pro rata basis; (v) the repurchase, redemption or other
acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company held by any member of the Company's (or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries') management pursuant to any management
equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement or similar agreement so
long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby;
provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed,
acquired or retired Equity Interests shall not exceed $10.0 million in any
twelve-month period; (vi) the declaration or payment of dividends or advances to
the Company for expenses incurred by the Company in its capacity as a holding
company that are attributable to the operations of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries; (vii) the repurchase of Equity Interests deemed to
occur upon exercise of stock options if such Equity Interests represent a
portion of the exercise price of such options; (viii) the defeasance,
redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of any Indebtedness subordinated or
pari passu in right of payment to the Notes at a purchase price not greater than
101% of the principal amount of such Indebtedness, plus any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, in the event of a Change of Control; provided that prior to or
contemporaneously with such repurchase, the Company has made the Change of
Control

                                       41

<PAGE>

Offer with respect to the Notes required by this Indenture, if any, and has
repurchased all Notes validly tendered for payment and not withdrawn in
connection with such Change of Control Offer; or (ix) other Restricted Payments
in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million.

     The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair
market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities
proposed to be transferred or issued to or by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair
market value of any non-cash Restricted Payment shall be determined by the Board
of Directors of the Company, whose determination will be conclusive. For
purposes of determining compliance with this Section, in the event that a
Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the exceptions
described in clauses (i) through (ix) above in this Section 4.07 or is entitled
to be made pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section, the Company shall,
in its sole discretion, classify, such Restricted Payment in any manner that
complies with this Section 4.07.

Section 4.08. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

     The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to
exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the
ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (a)(i) pay dividends or make any other
distributions to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (A) on its
Capital Stock or (B) with respect to any other interest or participation in, or
measured by, its profits or (ii) pay any indebtedness owed to the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (b) make loans or advances to the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (c) transfer any of its properties or assets
to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except for such
encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reasons of: (i) agreements
governing Existing Indebtedness and Credit Facilities as in effect on August 29,
2001, and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof, provided that
such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements,
refundings, replacements and refinancings are not materially more restrictive
with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those
contained in those agreements on August 29, 2001, (ii) this Indenture, the Notes
and the Subsidiary Guarantees as in effect on the date of this Indenture, (iii)
applicable law and any applicable rule, regulation or order, (iv) any instrument
governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition
(except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in
connection with or in anticipation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or
restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any
Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so
acquired, provided that in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was
permitted to be incurred by the terms hereof, (v) customary non-assignment
provisions in leases or other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary
course of business and consistent with past practices, (vi) purchase money
obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose
restrictions of the nature described in clause (c) above on the property so
acquired, (vii) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted
Subsidiary or all or substantially all the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary
that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending such sale or
other disposition; (viii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the
restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive than those contained in the
agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced; (ix) Liens securing
Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section
4.12 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such
Liens; (x) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets
or property in joint venture agreements, assets sale agreements, stock sale
agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of
business; (xi) Indebtedness or other contractual requirements of a Receivables
Subsidiary in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction, provided that
such restrictions apply only to such Receivables Subsidiary or the receivables

                                       42

<PAGE>

or inventory which are subject to the Qualified Receivables Transaction; (xii)
restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under
contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; (xiii) contractual
encumbrances and restrictions in effect on August 14, 2001; (xiv) mortgage or
construction financing that imposes restrictions on transfer of the property
acquired or improved; (xv) protective liens filed in connection with
sale-leaseback transactions permitted under Section 4.16 and (xvi) Indebtedness
permitted to be incurred pursuant to clauses (m), (n) and (o) of the second

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

     The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee
or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise,
with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired
Debt) and the Company shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred
stock; provided, however, that the Company or any Guarantor may incur
Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock and
the Guarantors may issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for
the Company's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal
financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such
additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued would
have been at least 2.25 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro
forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional
Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or preferred stock had
been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

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

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

     (a)  the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of
additional Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1)
(with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the
maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
thereunder) not to exceed the greater of:

          (i)  $1.4 billion less the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of
     Asset Sales that have been applied by the Company or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries since August 14, 2001 to repay any term Indebtedness under a
     Credit Facility or to repay revolving credit Indebtedness under a Credit
     Facility and effect a corresponding commitment reduction, in each case with
     the Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof, and

          (ii) the Borrowing Base;

     (b)  the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the
Existing Indebtedness and their existing guarantees;

                                       43

<PAGE>

     (c)  the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness
represented by the Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued on
the date of this Indenture and the Exchange Notes and the related Subsidiary
Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the registration rights agreement;

     (d)  the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which
are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than intercompany
Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under the
first paragraph of this Section 4.09 or clauses (b), (c), (d) or (o) of this
paragraph;

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

          (i)  if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such
     Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior
     payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes in the
     case of the Company, or the Subsidiary Guarantee in the case of a
     Guarantor, and

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

     (f)  the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of fixing or hedging
interest rate risk with respect to any floating rate Indebtedness that is
permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding or Hedging
Obligations with respect to foreign currency translations;

     (g)  the guarantee by the Company or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness
of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to
be incurred by another provision of this covenant or that was in existence on
August 14, 2001;

     (h)  the incurrence by a Receivables Subsidiary of Indebtedness in a
Qualified Receivables Transaction that is without recourse to the Company or to
any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or their assets (other than such
Receivables Subsidiary and its assets and, as to the Company or any Subsidiary
of the Company, other than pursuant to representations, warranties, covenants
and indemnities customary for such transactions) and is not guaranteed by any
such Person;

     (i)  the accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original
issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of
additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on
Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of
Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an
issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09;

     (j)  Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owed to
(including obligations in respect of letters of credit for the benefit of) any
Person in connection with worker's compensation, health, disability or other
employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance provided by such
Person to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to reimbursement
or indemnification obligations to such Person, in each case incurred in the
ordinary course of business;

                                       44

<PAGE>

     (k) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or
similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assume in connection with the
disposition of any business, asset or Equity Interests; provided that the
maximum aggregate liability of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the
gross proceeds actually received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
in connection with such disposition;

     (l) obligations in respect of performance and surety bonds and completion
guarantees provided by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary
course of business;

     (m) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial
institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient
funds in the ordinary course of business, provided, however, that such
Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of its incurrence;

     (n) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
guarantees of Indebtedness of customers or suppliers in an aggregate amount at
any one time outstanding not to exceed $20.0 million; and

     (o) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as
applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred
pursuant to this clause (o), not to exceed $80.0 million.

     For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event
that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (a) through (o) above or is
entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.09,
the Company shall, in its sole discretion, be permitted to classify such item of
Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion
of such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09
and such item of Indebtedness shall be treated as having been incurred pursuant
to only one of such clauses or pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section
4.09. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on August 29, 2001 will
be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception
provided by clause (a) above. Accrual of interest shall not be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09.

Section 4.10. Asset Sales.

     The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to: (i) sell, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of any assets or
rights (including by way of a sale-and-leaseback) other than sales or returns of
inventory in the ordinary course of business (provided that the sale, lease,
conveyance or other distribution of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 4.13 and 5.01
hereof), or (ii) issue or sell equity securities of any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) above, whether in a
single transaction or a series of related transactions, (a) that have a fair
market value in excess of $5.0 million or (b) for net proceeds in excess of $5.0
million (each of the foregoing, an "Asset Sale"), unless (x) the Company (or the
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of
such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (evidenced by a
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers'
Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed
of and (y) at least 75% of the consideration received therefor by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash; provided that this 75%
limitation shall not apply to any Asset Sale in which the after-tax cash or Cash
Equivalents portion of the consideration received is equal or greater than what
the net after-tax proceeds would have been had such Asset Sale complied with the
75% limitation; provided, however, that the amount of: (A) any liabilities (as
shown on the Company's or such Restricted Subsidiary's most

                                       45

<PAGE>

recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto), of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the
Notes or any guarantee thereof) that are assumed by the transferee of any such
assets; (B) any notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such
Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are delivered within 20 days of
the sale, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received); (C)
any payment of secured debt secured by the assets sold in the Asset Sale; (D)
Cash Equivalents: (E) long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted
Business and (F) the Capital Stock of any Person engaged in a Permitted Business
if, in connection with the receipt by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company of such Capital Stock (i) such Person becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company or (ii) such Person is merged, consolidated or
amalgamated with or into, or transfers or conveys substantially all of its
assets to, or is liquidated into, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company, shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision.
Notwithstanding the preceding, (i) a transfer of assets between or among the
Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) an issuance of Equity Interests by a
Subsidiary to the Company or to another Subsidiary, (iii) the sale or lease of
equipment, inventory, accounts receivable or other assets in the ordinary course
of business including dispositions of assets that are obsolete or no longer
useful in the business, (iv) the sale or other disposition of cash or Cash
Equivalents, (v) sales of accounts receivable or inventory and related assets of
the type specified in the definition of "Qualified Receivables Transaction" to a
Receivables Subsidiary for the fair market value thereof, including cash in an
amount at least equal to 75% of the book value thereof as determined in
accordance with GAAP, it being understood that, for the purposes of this clause
(v), notes received in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable or
inventory and related assets will be deemed cash if the Receivables Subsidiary
or other payor is required to repay said notes as soon as practicable from
available cash collections less amounts required to be established as reserves
pursuant to contractual agreements with entities that are not Affiliates of the
Company entered into as part of a Qualified Receivables Transaction, (vi)
transfers of accounts receivable or inventory and related assets of the type
specified in the definition of "Qualified Receivables Transaction" (or a
fractional undivided interest therein) by a Receivables Subsidiary in a
Qualified Receivables Transaction, (vii) the sale or other disposition of
distribution centers or warehouse facilities and related assets that are sold or
contracted for sale within 18 months of the consummation of the Merger and
(viii) the creation of security interests otherwise permitted by this Indenture,
including, without limitation, a pledge of assets otherwise permitted by this
Indenture, shall not be deemed to be an Asset Sale. Any Restricted Payment or
Permitted Investment that is permitted by Section 4.07 hereof will not be deemed
to be an Asset Sale.

     Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale,
the Company (or such Subsidiary) may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset
Sale, at its option, to one or more of the following (a) to repay Indebtedness
under a Credit Facility (and to effect a corresponding commitment reduction if
such Indebtedness is revolving credit Indebtedness); (b) to acquire (or enter
into a binding agreement to acquire, provide that such commitment shall be
subject only to customary conditions (other than financing) and such acquisition
shall be consummated within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period) all
or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of,
another Permitted Business; (c) to make a capital expenditure or (d) to acquire
(or enter into a binding agreement to acquire, provided that such commitment
shall be subject only to customary conditions (other than financing) and such
acquisition shall be consummated within 180 days after the end of such 365-day
period) other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business
or to permanently reduce borrowings and commitments under Indebtedness permitted
to be incurred pursuant to clause (a) of the third paragraph of Section 4.09
hereof. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company (or
such Subsidiary) may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise
invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.
Any Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale that are not finally applied or invested
as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph will be deemed to constitute
"Excess Proceeds." Within five days of each date on which the aggregate amount
of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Company shall commence a pro rata
Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 3.09

                                       46

<PAGE>

hereof to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased
out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100%
of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages thereon, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 hereof. To the extent
that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is
less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company (or such Subsidiary) may use such
deficiency for general corporate purposes. Upon completion of such offer to
purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be deemed to be reset at zero.

Section 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates.

     The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to occur any
transaction or series related transactions (including, without limitation, the
purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any
service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each of the
foregoing, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless such Affiliate Transaction is on
terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant
Subsidiary than those that might have been obtained in a comparable transaction
at such time on an arm's length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that for an
Affiliate Transaction with an aggregate value of $25.0 million or more, at the
Company's option, either (a) a majority of the disinterested members of the
Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in good faith that such
Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable than
those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at
such time on an arm's length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the
Company or (b) the Board of Directors of the Company or the Board of Directors
of any such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an opinion from a
nationally recognized investment banking, appraisal or accounting firm that such
Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable than
those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at
such time on an arm's length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the
Company; provided, however, that (i) any employment agreement, compensation or
employee benefit arrangements, incentive arrangements or director fees
(including grants of stock options or other Equity Interests) entered into by
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
business; (ii) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted
Subsidiaries; (iii) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the
Company solely because the Company owns an Equity Interest in, or controls, such
Person; (iv) payment of reasonable directors fees; (v) sales or issuances of
Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Company;
(vi) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted
Subsidiaries or transactions between a Receivables Subsidiary and any Person in
which the Receivables Subsidiary has an Investment; (vii) transactions permitted
under Section 4.07 hereof; (viii) customary loans, advances, fees and
compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors,
employees or consultant of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and
(ix) transactions pursuant to any contract, or agreement in effect on August 14,
2001 as the same may be amended, modified or replaced from time to time so long
as any such amendment, modification or replacement is no less favorable to the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the original contract or agreement
as in effect on August 14, 2001 shall not be deemed Affiliate Transactions.

Section 4.12. Liens.

     The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness on any asset now owned or
hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, unless (i) in the case of the
Company, the Notes are secured by such Lien equally and ratably with, or prior
to, the Indebtedness secured by such Lien or (ii) in the case of any Subsidiary
Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor's guarantee of the Notes is secured by such
Lien equally and ratably with, or prior to, the Indebtedness secured by such
Lien.

Section 4.13. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

     (a)  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall make an
offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each Holder to repurchase all or any part
(equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date
of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 90 days following any
Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:
(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.13
and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; (2) the purchase price
and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 Business Days and no
later than 60 Business Days from the date such notice is mailed (the "Change of
Control Payment Date"); (3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue
interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of
Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment
Date; (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change
of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled
"Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes completed, to
the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of
business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;
(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent
receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day
preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal
amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and (7) that Holders whose
Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which
unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral
multiple thereof. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1

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

     The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a
Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth
in this Section 4.19 and all other provisions of this Indenture

Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale
and leaseback transaction pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set

the gross cash proceeds of such sale and leaseback transaction are at least
equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company and set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to
the Trustee) of the property that is the subject of such sale and leaseback
transaction and (iii) the transfer of assets in such sale and leaseback
transaction is permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of such
transaction in compliance with, Section 4.10 hereof.

Section 4.19. Additional Note Guarantees.

     If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall acquire or create another

Section 4.20. Changes in Covenants when Notes Rated Investment Grade

     If on any date following the date of this Indenture:

                                       49

<PAGE>

     (a) the Notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody's and BBB - or better by
S&P (or, in either case, if such person ceases to rate the Notes for reasons
outside of the control of the Company, the equivalent investment grade credit
rating from any other "nationally recognized statistical rating organization"
within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected

applicable to the Notes.

Section 4.21. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

     The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted
Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause
a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned
by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly
designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the
designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under
the first paragraph of Section 4.07 or Permitted Investments, as determined by
the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be
permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the
definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company
may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the
redesignation would not cause a Default under this Indenture.

Subsidiaries.

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

Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created
after the date of this Indenture, which (i) is caused by the failure to pay
principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the
expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such
default (a "Payment Default"), or (ii) results in the acceleration of such

Section 6.02.  Acceleration.

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

Section 6.03.  Other Remedies.

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

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

Section 6.04.  Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

Section 6.05.  Control by Majority.

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

                                       53

<PAGE>

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

     A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or
the Notes only if:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

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

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company
(or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall
be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to
the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to
it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances

                                       54

<PAGE>

of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee
under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be
denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and
shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities
and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such
proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize
the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10. Priorities.

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

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

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

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

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

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

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

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

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

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

                                       55

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

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

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

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

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

     takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction
     received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof; and

     hereunder shall be construed to impose a duty to exercise such power, right
     or remedy.

     (d)  Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to this Article 7.
The immunities and exceptions from liability of the Trustee shall apply to the
Trustee in all if its capacities provided for in this Indenture including its
capacity as a Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and shall extend to
its officers, directors, employees and agents.

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

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

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

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

                                       56

<PAGE>

authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

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

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

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

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

     (g)  At all reasonable times the Trustee and its duly authorized agents,
accountants, attorneys, and experts, shall have the right to inspect fully all
books, papers and records of the Company relating to the Notes and to take such
photocopies and memoranda therefrom and in regard thereto as may be desired;
provided that, in the event any request for the delivery of any books, papers or
records described above would compromise the attorney-client privilege or any
other privilege of the Company then such delivery and access will not be
required.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

     The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in
the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate
such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as
trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The
Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer.

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

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults.

     If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is
known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the
Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case
of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a
committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. The Trustee shall
not be required to inquire into or take notice, or be deemed to have notice,

                                       57

<PAGE>

of any Event of Default under this Indenture or any other event which, with the
passage of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of
Default unless a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge or be
specifically notified in writing of such Event of Default or event. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain
or inquire as to the performance or observance by the Company, or any other
party to the transaction contemplated in this Indenture, of any of the terms,
conditions, covenants or agreements herein or any of the documents executed in
connection with the Notes.

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

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

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

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

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

     The Company and the Guarantors shall indemnify the Trustee against any and
all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this
Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against
the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending
itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors or any
Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any
such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad
faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it
may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not
relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The
Company or such Guarantor shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate
in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any
Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07
shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

     To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee
shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected
by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay

                                       58

<PAGE>

principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

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

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

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

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

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

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

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

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

     (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

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

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

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

                                       59

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

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

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

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

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

Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

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

                                   ARTICLE 8.
                    LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

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

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

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

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

<PAGE>

Section 8.03.   Covenant Defeasance.

         Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries
shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained
in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17,
4.18, 4.19, 4.20 and 4.21 hereof and clause (iv) of Section 5.01 hereof with
respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth
in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the
Notes shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any
direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall
continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being
understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant
to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01
hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise
under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof,
Sections 6.01(c) through 6.01(f) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04.   Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

         The following shall be the conditions to the application of either
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

         In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

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

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

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

                                       61

<PAGE>

         (d)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default
resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds
of which will be used to defease the Notes pursuant to this Article Eight
concurrently with such incurrence) or insofar as Sections 6.01(g) or 6.01(h)
hereof is concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the
date of deposit;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       62

<PAGE>

Section 8.06.   Repayment to Company.

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

Section 8.07.   Reinstatement.

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

                                   ARTICLE 9.
                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01.   Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

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

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

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

         (c)    to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to
the Holders of the Notes by a successor to the Company pursuant to Article 5 or
Article 10 hereof;

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

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

                                       63

<PAGE>

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

         (g)    to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/
or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

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

Section 9.02.   With Consent of Holders of Notes.

         Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including Section 3.09, 4.10 and
4.13 hereof), the Note Guarantees and the Notes with the consent of the Holders
of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional
Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase
of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing
Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a
payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or
compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the
Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting
as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall
determine which Notes are considered to be "outstanding" for purposes of this
Section 9.02.

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

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

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

                                       64

<PAGE>

the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section
9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

         (b)    reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note
or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the
Notes;

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

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

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

         (f)    make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to
waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments

Indenture.

Section 9.03.   Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

         Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be
set forth in a amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as
then in effect.

Section 9.04.   Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Section 9.05.   Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

                                       65

<PAGE>

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

Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

         The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized
pursuant to this Article Nine if the amendment or supplement does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company
may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until, to the extent
required by law, the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing
any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive
and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon,
in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer's
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended
or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE 10.
                                 NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01. Guarantee.

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

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

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

         Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of
subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed
hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed

                                       66

<PAGE>

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

Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

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

Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

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

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

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

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

         In the event that the Company creates or acquires any new Subsidiaries
subsequent to the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.19 hereof,
the Company shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute supplemental indentures to
this Indenture and Note Guarantees in accordance with Section 4.19 hereof and
this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

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

         Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05, no Guarantor may sell or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate
with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving
Person) another Person whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless:

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

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

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

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

Section 10.05. Releases Following Sale of Assets.

         In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of any
Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other
disposition of all to the capital stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a
Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) a
Subsidiary of the Company, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other
disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital
stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event
of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such
Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note
Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are
applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture,
including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof or the Company designates such
Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture.
Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by
the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including
without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents
reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its
obligations under its Note Guarantee.

                                       68

<PAGE>

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

                                   ARTICLE 11.
                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge.

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

         (a) either:

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

             (ii) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for
         cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a
         notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within
         one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or
         caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely
         for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable
         Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as
         will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of
         interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not
         delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and
         Liquidated Damages, if any, and accrued interest to the date of
         maturity or redemption;

         (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such
deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or
constitute a default under, any other material agreement or instrument to which
the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor
is bound;

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

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

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

         Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if
money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of
clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06
shall survive.

Section 11.02. Application of Trust Money.

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

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

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

of the Indenture]

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

         1. Interest. AmerisourceBergen Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 7
1/4% per annum from _______________ until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated
Damages payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement
referred to below. The Company will pay interest and Liquidated Damages
semi-annually in arrears on _________________ and ______________ of each year,
or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day
(each an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the
most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default
in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record
date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date;
provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be
_________________, 20___. The Company shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1%
per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest and Liquidated Damages (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the
extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

         2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages to the Persons who are
registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the ________________ or
______________ next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are
canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date,
except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated
Damages, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the
option of the Company, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages may be made by
check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of
Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available
funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and
Liquidated Damages on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which
shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying
Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.

         3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, J.P. Morgan Trust Company,
National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent
and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such
capacity.

         4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as
of November 18, 2002 ("Indenture") among the Company, the Guarantors and the
Trustee. The terms of the Notes include

                                       A-2

<PAGE>

those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference
to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code ss.ss.
77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred
to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any
provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture,
the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

         5. Optional Redemption. Except as set forth below, the Company shall
not have the option to redeem the Notes. The Company shall have the option to
redeem the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice
mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's registered address, in whole or in
part, at the greater of the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the applicable redemption date:

         (a)    101% of the principal amount thereof; or

         (b)    as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of
the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments discounted to the
redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate.

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

         Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph five shall be made pursuant
to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture.

         6. Repurchase at Option of Holder.

         (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company shall be required to
make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to repurchase all or any part (equal
to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at a purchase
price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase
(the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 90 days following any Change of
Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the
procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

         (b) If the Company or a Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, within
five days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds
$50.0 million, the Company shall commence an offer to all Holders of Notes (as
"Asset Sale Offer") pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the
maximum principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) that may be
purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest
and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of
such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the
extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes)
tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the
Company (or such Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for general corporate
purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders
thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the
Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the subject
of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior
to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by
completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse
of the Notes.

                                      A-3

<PAGE>

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

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

         9.  Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be
treated as its owner for all purposes.

         10. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented
with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single
class, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the
Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and
Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any
Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended
or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to
provide for the assumption of the Company's or Guarantor's obligations to
Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change
that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes
or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any
such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to
provide for the Issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations
set forth in the Indenture, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental
indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

         11. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) default for
30 days in the payment when due of interest or Liquidated Damages on the Notes;
(ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the
Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption
(including in connection with an offer to purchase) or otherwise, (iii) failure
by the Company to comply with Section 4.07, 4.09 or 4.13 of the Indenture for 30
days from receipt of written notice by the Trustee or the Holders of at least
25% of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding; (iv) failure by the
Company to observe any other covenant, representation, warranty or other
arrangement in the Indenture for 60 days after notice to the Company by the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single
class; (v) default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under
which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created
after the date of this Indenture, which default (i) is caused by a failure to
pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to
the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date

                                      A-4

<PAGE>

of such default (a "Payment Default"), or (ii) results in the acceleration of
such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal
amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other
such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity
of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more; (vi) a final
judgment or final judgments for the payment of money are entered by a court or
courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary and such judgment or judgments remain
undischarged for a period (during which execution shall not be effectively
stayed pending appeal (or otherwise stayed)) of 60 days, provided that the
aggregate of all such undischarged judgments exceeds $25.0 million (net of any
amount covered by insurance); (vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency
with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group
of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law; and
(viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee shall be held in
any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any
reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor or any Person acting on
its behalf shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under such Guarantor's Note
Guarantee. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further
action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the
Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or
Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice
to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any
existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture
except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on,
or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the
Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the
Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to
deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

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

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

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

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

         16. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders of
Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted
Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the A/B Exchange
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of November 18, 2002, among the Company
and the parties named on the signature pages thereof (the "Registration Rights
Agreement").

         17. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused
CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers
in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made
as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

         The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without
charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement.

Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally
guarantee all of the Company's Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on
the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Note Guarantee"); and

         WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is
authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the
equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

         1.     Capitalized Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein without

         2.     Agreement to Guarantee.  The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby
agrees as follows:

                (a)    Along with all Guarantors named in the Indenture, to
         jointly and severally Guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated
         and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and
         assigns, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or
         thereunder, that:

                       (i)    the principal of and interest on the Notes will be
                promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by
                acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the
                overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if
                lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders
                or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in
                full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and
                thereof; and

                       (ii)   in case of any extension of time of payment or
                renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same
                will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in

                  guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever
                  reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally
                  obligated to pay the same immediately.

                  (b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
         irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes
         or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
         waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any
         provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
         Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which
         might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of
         a guarantor.

                  (c) The following is hereby waived: 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.

                  (d) This Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by
         complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the
         Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a
         Guarantor under the Indenture.

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

                  (f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any
         right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
         obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations
         guaranteed hereby.

                  (g) As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
         Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the
         obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article
         6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note Guarantee,
         notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
         such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and
         (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations
         as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or
         not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
         Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

                  (h) The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution
         from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right
         does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.

                  (i) Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving
         effect to any maximum amount and any other contingent and fixed
         liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or
         fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections
         from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on
         behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such
         other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this new Note
         Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that
         the obligations of such Guarantor under this Note Guarantee will not
         constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

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

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

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

                      (i)  subject to Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Indenture,
               the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
               merger (if other than a Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally
               assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to a
               supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably
               satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, the Indenture and
               the Note Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein; and

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

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

               (c)    Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 and Section 10.05
         of Article 10 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b)
         above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall
         prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
         Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance
         of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an
         entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

         5.    Releases.

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

                                      F-3

<PAGE>

         required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its
         obligations under its Note Guarantee.

               (b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its
         Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of
         and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any
         Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 11 of the
         Indenture.

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

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

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

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

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

<PAGE>

         1.  Interest. AmerisourceBergen Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note
at 7 1/4% per annum from _______________ until maturity and shall pay the
Liquidated Damages payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Registration Rights
Agreement referred to below. The Company will pay interest and Liquidated
Damages semi-annually in arrears on _________________ and ______________ of each
year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business
Day (each an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes will accrue from
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default
in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record
date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date;
provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be
_________________, 20___. The Company shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1%
per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest and Liquidated Damages (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the
extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

         2.  Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages to the Persons who are
registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the ________________ or
______________ next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are
canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date,
except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated
Damages, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the
option of the Company, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages may be made by
check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of
Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available
funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and
Liquidated Damages on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which
shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying
Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.

         3.  Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, J.P. Morgan Trust Company,
National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent
and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such
capacity.

         4.  Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as
of November 18, 2002 ("Indenture") among the Company, the Guarantors and the
Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (15 U.S. Code (S)(S) 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such
terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of
such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express
provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling.

<PAGE>

         5.  Optional Redemption. Except as set forth below, the Company shall
not have the option to redeem the Notes. The Company shall have the option to
redeem the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice
mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's registered address, in whole or in
part, at the greater of the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the applicable redemption date:

               1.  101% of the principal amount thereof; or

               2.  as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of
               the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments discounted
               to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day
               year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury
               Rate.

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

<PAGE>

         Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph five shall be made pursuant
to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture.

         6.  Repurchase At Option of Holder.

         (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company shall be required to
make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to repurchase all or any part (equal
to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at a purchase
price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase
(the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 90 days following any Change of
Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the
procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

         (b) If the Company or a Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, within
five days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds
$50.0 million, the Company shall commence an offer to all Holders of Notes (as
"Asset Sale Offer") pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the
maximum principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) that may be
purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest
and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of
such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the
extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes)
tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the
Company (or such Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for general corporate
purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders
thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the
Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the subject
of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior
to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by
completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse
of the Notes.

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

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

         9.  Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be
treated as its owner for all purposes.

<PAGE>

         10. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented
with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single
class, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the
Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and
Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any
Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended
or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to
provide for the assumption of the Company's or Guarantor's obligations to
Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change
that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes
or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any
such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to
provide for the Issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations
set forth in the Indenture, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental
indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

<PAGE>

         11. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) default for
30 days in the payment when due of interest or Liquidated Damages on the Notes;
(ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the
Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption
(including in connection with an offer to purchase) or otherwise, (iii) failure
by the Company to comply with Section 4.07, 4.09 or 4.13 of the Indenture for 30
days from receipt of written notice by the Trustee or the Holders of at least
25% of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding; (iv) failure by the
Company to observe any other covenant, representation, warranty or other
arrangement in the Indenture for 60 days after notice to the Company by the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single
class; (v) default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under
which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created
after the date of this Indenture, which default (i) is caused by a failure to
pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to
the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of
such default (a "Payment Default"), or (ii) results in the acceleration of such
Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal
amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other
such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity
of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more; (vi) a final
judgment or final judgments for the payment of money are entered by a court or
courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary and such judgment or judgments remain
undischarged for a period (during which execution shall not be effectively
stayed pending appeal (or otherwise stayed)) of 60 days, provided that the
aggregate of all such undischarged judgments exceeds $25.0 million (net of any
amount covered by insurance); (vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency
with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group
of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law; and
(viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee shall be held in
any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any
reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor or any Person acting on
its behalf shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under such Guarantor's Note
Guarantee. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further
action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the
Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or
Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice
to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any
existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture
except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on,
or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the
Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the
Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to
deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

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

<PAGE>

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

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

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

         16. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders of
Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted
Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the A/B Exchange
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of November 18, 2002, among the Company
and the parties named on the signature pages thereof (the "Registration Rights
Agreement").

         17. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused
CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers
in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made
as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

               The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and
without charge a copy of the Indenture and/or the Registration Rights Agreement.
Requests may be made to:
