                SECTION 2.1. FORM AND DATING.

                The Securities and the Trustee's certificate of authentication

                (a) Global Securities in General. Each Global Security shall
represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and
each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding
Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of
outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or
increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions, purchases or
conversions of such Securities. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect
the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Securities
represented thereby shall be made by the Securities Custodian in accordance with
the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the
Securities Custodian.

                Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent Members")
shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security
held on their behalf by the Depositary or under the Global Security, and the
Depositary (including, for this purpose, its nominee) may be treated by the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute
owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (A) prevent the Company, the
Trustee or any

                                       7
<PAGE>   15

agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or (B)
impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any
Security.

                (b) Certificated Securities. Certificated Securities shall be
issued only under the limited circumstances provided in Section 2.12(a)(1)
hereof.

                SECTION 2.2. EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION.

                An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual
or facsimile signature. The Company's seal or a facsimile thereof shall be
affixed to or reproduced on the Securities and attested by the manual or
facsimile signature of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company.
Typographic and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the
seal or any such facsimile signature shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any Security which has been authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee.

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

                A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of
the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security.
The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been
authenticated under this Indenture.

                The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery
Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of up to
$42,670,000 upon receipt of a written order or orders of the Company signed by
two Officers of the Company (a "Company Order"). The Company Order shall specify
the amount of Securities to be authenticated, shall provide that all such
Securities will be represented by a Global Security and the date on which each
original issue of Securities is to be authenticated. The aggregate principal
amount of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed $42,670,000, except
as provided above and in Section 2.7.

                The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent.
Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the
Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
authenticating agent shall have the same rights as an Agent to deal with the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

                The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without
coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

                SECTION 2.3. REGISTRAR, PAYING AGENT AND CONVERSION AGENT.

                The Company shall maintain one or more offices or agencies where
Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (each,
a "Registrar"), one or more offices or agencies where Securities may be
presented for payment (each, a "Paying Agent"), one

                                       8
<PAGE>   16

or more offices or agencies where Securities may be presented for conversion
(each, a "Conversion Agent") and one or more offices or agencies where notices
and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be served. The Company will at all times maintain a Paying Agent,
Conversion Agent, Registrar and an office or agency where notices and demands to
or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be
served in Chicago, Illinois and, if any Certificated Securities are issued, in
the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York. One of the Registrars (the
"Primary Registrar") shall keep a register of the Securities and of their
transfer and exchange.

                The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement
with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the
provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify
the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.
If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or
agent for service of notices and demands in any place required by this
Indenture, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such.
The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent (except for
the purposes of Section 6.1 and Article 10).

                The Company initially appoints the Trustee, acting through its
Corporate Trust Office in Chicago, Illinois, as Registrar, Paying Agent,
Conversion Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in connection with
the Securities.

                SECTION 2.4. PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST.

                Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the
principal of or interest on any Securities, the Company shall deposit with a
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due.
Subject to Section 5.7, a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the
payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, and shall notify the
Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities)
in making any such payment. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts
as Paying Agent, it shall, before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due
date of the principal of or interest on any Securities, segregate the money and
hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee, and the Trustee may at any
time during the continuance of any default, upon written request to a Paying
Agent, require such Paying Agent to forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so
held in trust by such Paying Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (other than
the Company) shall have no further liability for the money.

                SECTION 2.5. SECURITYHOLDER 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
Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Primary Registrar, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee on or before each semiannual 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 Securityholders.

                SECTION 2.6. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

                (a) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional
requirements contained in Section 2.12, when a Security is presented to a
Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such
Security for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized
denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as
requested; provided, however, that every Security presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To
permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security
for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained
pursuant to Section 2.3, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Securities of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar's
request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the
Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, and
provided further that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to
Section 2.10, 2.12(a)(1), 3.6, 3.11, 4.2 (last paragraph) or 11.5.

                Neither the Company, any Registrar nor the Trustee shall be
required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Securities for a period
of 15 days next preceding any selection of Securities to be redeemed, (b) any
Securities or portions thereof selected or called for redemption (except, in the
case of redemption of a Security in part, the portion not to be redeemed) or (c)
any Securities or portions thereof in respect of which a Change in Control
Purchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof
(except, in the case of the purchase of a Security in part, the portion not to
be purchased).

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

                (b) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall
provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in
connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or
exchange of Securities.

                SECTION 2.7. REPLACEMENT SECURITIES.

                If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Company, a
Registrar or the Trustee, or the Company, a Registrar and the Trustee receive
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security, and there is delivered to the Company, the applicable Registrar and
the Trustee such Security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, such Registrar
or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Company shall execute, and upon its written request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu
of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and
principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

                In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security
has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be redeemed or
purchased by the Company

                                       10
<PAGE>   18

pursuant to Article 3, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a
new Security, pay, redeem or purchase such Security, as the case may be.

                Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section 2.7,
the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee
or the Registrar) in connection therewith.

                Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu
of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed,
lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any
and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

                The provisions of this Section 2.7 are (to the extent lawful)
exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and
remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities.

                SECTION 2.8. OUTSTANDING SECURITIES.

                Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities
authenticated by the Trustee, except for those canceled by it, those delivered
to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.8 as not
outstanding.

                If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to
be outstanding unless the Company receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

                If a Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company) holds on a redemption date, a Change in Control Purchase Date or the
Final Maturity Date money sufficient to pay the principal of (including premium,
if any) and accrued interest on Securities (or portions thereof) payable on that
date, then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof, as the
case may be) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

                Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 2.9, a Security
does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company holds the Security.

                SECTION 2.9. TREASURY SECURITIES.

                In determining whether the Holders of the required principal
amount of Securities have concurred in any notice, direction, waiver or consent,
Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or by any
Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded, except
that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such notice, direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which
the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned
which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee
establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act
with respect to the Securities and that the pledgee is not the

                                       11
<PAGE>   19

Company or any other obligor on the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company
or of such other obligor.

                SECTION 2.10. TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

                Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company
may prepare and execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be
substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that
the Company with the consent of the Trustee considers appropriate for temporary
Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities in exchange for
temporary Securities.

                SECTION 2.11. CANCELLATION.

                The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee
for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall
forward to the Trustee or its agent any Securities surrendered to them for
transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee and no one else shall
cancel, in accordance with its standard procedures, all Securities surrendered
for transfer, exchange, redemption, payment, conversion or cancellation and
shall deliver the canceled Securities to the Company. All Securities which are
redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates prior to the Final Maturity Date shall be delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation and the Company may not hold or resell such
Securities or issue any new Securities to replace any such Securities or any
Securities that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article 4. Without
limitation to the foregoing, any Securities acquired by any investment bankers
or other purchasers pursuant to Section 3.7 shall be surrendered for conversion
and thereafter cancelled, and may not be reoffered, sold or otherwise
transferred.

                SECTION 2.12. ADDITIONAL TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE REQUIREMENTS.

                (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.

                        (1) Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange
                for interests in the global Securities only if (x) the
                Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable
                to continue as depositary for the global Securities or if it at
                any time ceases to be a "clearing agency" registered under the
                Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
                Act"), if so required by applicable law or regulation and a
                successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90
                days, or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
                In either case, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
                shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees
                to delivery promptly), authenticate and deliver Certificated
                Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
                principal amount of such global Securities in exchange
                therefore. Certificated Securities issued in exchange for
                beneficial interests in global Securities shall be registered in
                such names and shall be in such authorized denominations as the
                Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect
                participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The
                Trustee shall

                                       12
<PAGE>   20

                deliver or cause to be delivered such Certificated Securities to
                the persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.
                Such exchange shall be effected in accordance with the
                Applicable Procedures.

                        (2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
                Indenture other than the provisions set forth in Section
                2.12(a)(1), a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole
                except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a
                nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee
                of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a
                successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

                (b) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Securities. When
Certificated Securities are presented by a Holder to a Registrar with a request:

                        (x) to register the transfer of the Certificated
                Securities to a person who will take delivery thereof in the
                form of Certificated Securities only; or

                        (y) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an
                equal principal amount of Certificated Securities of other
                authorized denominations,

such Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested;
provided, however, that the Certificated Securities presented or surrendered for
register of transfer or exchange:

                        (1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
                instrument of transfer in accordance with the proviso to the
                first paragraph of Section 2.6; and

                (c) Transfers of Certificated Securities for Beneficial Interest
in Global Securities. In the event that Certificated Securities are issued in
exchange for beneficial interests in Global Securities and, thereafter, the
events or conditions specified in Section 2.12(a)(1) which required such
exchange shall have ceased to exist, the Company shall mail notice to the
Trustee and to the Holders stating that Holders may exchange Certificated
Securities for interests in Global Securities by complying with the procedures
set forth in this Indenture and briefly describing such procedures and the
events or circumstances requiring that such notice be given. Thereafter, if
Certificated Securities are presented by a Holder to a Registrar with a request:

                        (x) to register the transfer of such Certificated
                Securities to a person who will take delivery thereof in the
                form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security; or

                        (y) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an
                equal principal amount of beneficial interests in a global
                Security, which beneficial interests will be owned by the Holder
                transferring such Certificated Securities,

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested by
canceling such Certificated Security and causing, or directing the Securities
Custodian to cause, the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global
Security to be increased accordingly and, if no such Global Security is then
outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate

                                       13
<PAGE>   21

and deliver a new Global Security; provided, however, that the Certificated
Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange:

                        (1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
                instrument of transfer in accordance with the proviso to Section
                2.6;

                (d) Transfers to the Company. Nothing in this Indenture or in
the Securities shall prohibit the sale or other transfer of any Securities
(including beneficial interests in global Securities) to the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, which Securities shall thereupon be cancelled in accordance
with the last sentence of Section 2.11.

                                    ARTICLE 3
                            REDEMPTION AND PURCHASES

                SECTION 3.1. RIGHT TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

                The Securities may be redeemed at the election of the Company,
as a whole or from time to time in part, at any time on or after December 6,
2001, at the redemption prices together with accrued interest up to but not
including the Redemption Date.

                If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to this
Section 3.1, it shall notify the Trustee at least 35 days prior to the
redemption date as fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee) of the redemption date and the principal amount of
Securities to be redeemed. If fewer than all of the Securities are to be
redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the
Company and given to the Trustee, which record date shall not be less than ten
days after the date of notice to the Trustee.

                SECTION 3.2. SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.

                If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall, not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, select the
Securities to be redeemed. The Trustee shall make the selection from the
Securities outstanding and not previously called for redemption, by lot, pro
rata or by another method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. Securities
in denominations of $1,000 may only be redeemed in whole. The Trustee may select
for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any multiple thereof) of the
principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. Provisions
of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to
portions of Securities called for redemption.

                If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in
part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of
the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed
to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted
during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee
as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

                                       14
<PAGE>   22

                SECTION 3.3. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

                At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption
date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of redemption to
each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at such Holder's address as it appears
on the Primary Registrar's books.

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

                        (1) the redemption date;

                        (2) the redemption price;

                        (3) the then current Conversion Price;

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

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

                        (6) that the Securities called for redemption may be
                converted at any time before the close of business on the
                Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date;

                        (7) that Holders who wish to convert Securities must
                surrender such Securities for conversion no later than the close
                of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
                redemption date and must satisfy the other requirements required
                under the terms of the Exchange Offer;

                        (8) that, unless the Company defaults in making the
                redemption payment, interest on Securities called for redemption
                shall cease accruing on and after the redemption date and the
                only remaining right of the Holder shall be to receive payment
                of the redemption price, plus accrued interest, if any upon
                presentation and surrender to a Paying Agent of the Securities;
                and

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

                If any of the Securities to be redeemed is in the form of a
global Security, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent
necessary to accord with the procedures of the Depositary applicable to
redemptions.

                At the Company's written request, which request shall (i) be
irrevocable once given and (ii) set forth all relevant information required by
clauses (1) through (9) of the second preceding paragraph, the Trustee shall
give the notice of redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's
expense.

                                       15
<PAGE>   23

                SECTION 3.4. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

                Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for
redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption
price stated in the notice, together with accrued interest, if any, except for
Securities that are converted in accordance with the provisions of Article 4.
Upon presentation and surrender to a Paying Agent, Securities called for
redemption shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued interest up to
but not including the redemption date; provided that installments of interest
which are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a
redemption date will be payable to the Holders in whose names the Securities are
registered at the close of business on the relevant record dates.

                SECTION 3.5. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

                Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the redemption date,
the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company acts as Paying
Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption
price of and accrued interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date,
other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date
which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or have
been converted. The Paying Agent shall return to the Company any money not
required for that purpose because of the conversion of Securities pursuant to
Article 4 or, if such money is then held by the Company in trust and is not
required for such purpose, it shall be discharged from the trust.

                SECTION 3.6. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.

                Upon presentation and surrender of a Security that is redeemed
in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed
portion of the Security surrendered.

                SECTION 3.7. CONVERSION ARRANGEMENT ON CALL FOR REDEMPTION.

                In connection with any redemption of Securities, the Company may
arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Securities called for redemption
by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to
purchase such Securities by paying to a Paying Agent (other than the Company or
any of its Affiliates) in trust for the Securityholders, on or before 11:00 A.M.
New York City time on the Redemption Date, an amount that, together with any
amounts deposited with such Paying Agent by the Company for the redemption of
such Securities, is not less than the Redemption Price, together with interest
accrued to, but not including, the Redemption Date, of such Securities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 3, the
obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of such Securities,
including all accrued interest, shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged
to the extent such amount is so paid by such purchasers; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 3.7 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to pay
the Redemption Price, plus accrued interest to but excluding the relevant
redemption date, on Securities called for redemption. If such an agreement is
entered into, any Securities called for redemption and not surrendered for
conversion by the Holders thereof prior to the relevant redemption date may, at
the option of the Company upon written notice to the Trustee, be deemed, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such Holders
and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary

                                       16
<PAGE>   24

contained in Article 4) surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as of
11:00 A.M. New York City time on the Redemption Date, subject to payment of the
above amount as aforesaid. The Paying Agent shall hold and pay to the Holders
whose Securities are selected for redemption any such amount paid to it for
purchase in the same manner as it would money deposited with it by the Company
for the redemption of Securities. Without the Paying Agent's prior written
consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the purchase
and conversion of any Securities shall increase or otherwise affect any of the
powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Paying Agent as set forth
in this Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Paying Agent from,
and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or
in connection with any such arrangement for the purchase and conversion of any
Securities between the Company and such purchasers, including the costs and
expenses incurred by the Paying Agent in the defense of any claim or liability
arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Indenture.

                SECTION 3.8. PURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON
                             CHANGE IN CONTROL.

                (a) If at any time that Securities remain outstanding there
shall occur a Change in Control, Securities shall be purchased by the Company at
the option of the Holders thereof as of the date that is 30 Business Days after
the occurrence of the Change in Control (the "Change in Control Purchase Date")
at a purchase price equal to 105% of the principal amount thereof (the "Change
in Control Purchase Price") plus accrued interest up to but not including the
Change in Control Purchase Date, subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of any
Holder of the requirements set forth in subsection (c) of this Section 3.8. The
Company may elect, at the Company's sole option, to pay the Change in Control
Purchase Price in cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock.

                A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if any of
the following occurs after the Initial Issuance Date:

                        (1) any "person" or "group" (as such terms are defined
                below) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined below),
                directly or indirectly, of shares of Voting Stock of the Company
                representing 50% or more of the total voting power of all
                outstanding classes of Voting Stock of the Company or has the
                power, directly or indirectly, to elect a majority of the
                members of the board of directors of the Company; or

                        (2) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or
                into, another Person or the Company sells, assigns, conveys,
                transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially
                all of the assets of the Company, or any Person consolidates
                with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event
                other than pursuant to a transaction in which the Persons that
                "beneficially owned" (as defined below), directly or indirectly,
                shares of Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such
                transaction "beneficially own" (as defined below), directly or
                indirectly, shares of Voting Stock of the Company representing
                at least a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding
                classes of Voting Stock of the surviving or transferee Person;
                or

                                       17
<PAGE>   25

                        (3) there shall occur the liquidation or dissolution of
                the Company.

For the purpose of the definition of "Change in Control", (i) "person" and
"group" have the meanings given such terms under Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Exchange Act or any successor provision to either of the foregoing, and the term
"group" includes any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or
disposing of securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the
Exchange Act (or any successor provision thereto), (ii) a "beneficial owner"
shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, as in
effect on the date of this Indenture, except that the number of shares of Voting
Stock of the Company shall be deemed to include, in addition to all outstanding
shares of Voting Stock of the Company and Unissued Shares deemed to be held by
the "person" or "group" (as such terms are defined above) or other Person with
respect to which the Change in Control determination is being made, all Unissued
Shares deemed to be held by all other Persons, and (iii) the terms "beneficially
owned" and "beneficially own" shall have meanings correlative to that of
"beneficial owner". The term "Unissued Shares" means shares of Voting Stock not
outstanding that are subject to options, warrants, rights to purchase or
conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days of the date of determination of
a Change in Control.

                Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control will be
deemed not to have occurred (i) if the closing price of the Common Stock for any
five Trading Days during the ten Trading Days immediately preceding the Change
in Control is at least equal to 105% of the Conversion Price in effect
immediately preceding the Change in Control or (ii) if at least 90% of the
consideration (excluding cash payments for fractional shares or cash payments
for appraisal rights) in the transaction or transactions constituting the Change
in Control consists of shares of common stock or securities convertible into
shares of common stock that are, or upon issuance will be, traded on a national
securities exchange in the United States of America or through the Nasdaq
National Market.

                (b) Within 10 Business Days after the occurrence of a Change in
Control, the Company shall mail a written notice of the Change in Control to the
Trustee and to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable
law) and shall cause a copy of such notice to be published in a daily newspaper
of national circulation. The notice shall include the form of a Change in
Control Purchase Notice to be completed by the Holder and shall state:

                        (1) the date of such Change in Control and, briefly, the
                events causing such Change in Control;

                        (2) the date by which the Change in Control Purchase
                Notice pursuant to this Section 3.8 must be given;

                        (3) the Change in Control Purchase Date;

                        (4) the Change in Control Purchase Price;

                        (5) briefly, the conversion rights of the Securities;

                        (6) the name and address of each Paying Agent and
                Conversion Agent;

                                       18
<PAGE>   26

                        (7) the then current Conversion Price;

                        (8) that Securities as to which a Change in Control
                Purchase Notice has been given may be converted into Common
                Stock only to the extent that the Change in Control Purchase
                Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this
                Indenture;

                        (9) the procedures that the Holder must follow to
                exercise rights under this Section 3.8;

                        (10) the procedures for withdrawing a Change in Control
                Purchase Notice, including a form of notice of withdrawal; and

                        (11) that the Holder must satisfy the requirements set
                forth in the Securities in order to convert the Securities.

                If any of the Securities is in the form of a global Security,
then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with
the procedures of the Depositary applicable to the repurchase of global
securities.

                (c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in subsection (a)
of this Section 3.8 upon delivery of a written notice (which shall be in
substantially the form included in Exhibit A hereto and which may be delivered
by letter, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any
other written form and, in the case of global Securities, may be delivered
electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary's customary
procedures) of the exercise of such rights (a "Change in Control Purchase
Notice") to any Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the
Business Day next preceding the Change in Control Purchase Date.

                The delivery of such Security to any Paying Agent (together with
all necessary endorsements) at the office of such Paying Agent shall be a
condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Change in Control Purchase Price
therefore.

                The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to
this Section 3.8, a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such
portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this
Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security pursuant to Sections
3.8 through 3.13 also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security.

                Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder
delivering to a Paying Agent the Change in Control Purchase Notice contemplated
by this subsection (c) shall have the right to withdraw such Change in Control
Purchase Notice in whole or in a portion thereof that is $1,000 or in an
integral multiple thereof at any time prior to the close of business on the
Business Day next preceding the Change in Control Purchase Date by delivery of a
written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.9.

                A Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt
by it of any Change in Control Purchase Notice or written withdrawal thereof.

                                       19
<PAGE>   27

                Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of
global Securities, any Change in Control Purchase Notice may be delivered or
withdrawn and such Securities may be surrendered or delivered for purchase in
accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary as in effect from
time to time.

                SECTION 3.9. EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL PURCHASE NOTICE.

                Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of the Change in Control
Purchase Notice specified in Section 3.8(c), the Holder of the Security in
respect of which such Change in Control Purchase Notice was given shall (unless
such Change in Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified below)
thereafter be entitled to receive the Change in Control Purchase Price with
respect to such Security plus accrued interest thereon up to but not including
the Change in Control Purchase Date. Such Change in Control Purchase Price and
accrued interest shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of
(a) the Change in Control Purchase Date with respect to such Security (provided
the conditions in Section 3.8(c) have been satisfied) and (b) the time of
delivery of such Security to a Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner
required by Section 3.8(c). Securities in respect of which a Change in Control
Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted into
shares of Common Stock on or after the date of the delivery of such Change in
Control Purchase Notice unless such Change in Control Purchase Notice has first
been validly withdrawn.

                A Change in Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by a Holder
by means of a written notice (which may be delivered by letter, overnight
courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and,
in the case of global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other
means in accordance with the Depositary's customary procedures) of withdrawal
delivered by the Holder to a Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of
business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change in Control
Purchase Date, specifying the principal amount of the Security or portion
thereof (which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof) with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted.

                SECTION 3.10. DEPOSIT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL PURCHASE PRICE.

                Before 11:00 AM New York City time, on the Change in Control
Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent
(other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) an amount of money
sufficient to pay the aggregate Change in Control Purchase Price of all the
Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of such Change in
Control Purchase Date plus accrued interest thereon up to but not including the
Change in Control Purchase Date. The manner in which the deposit required by
this Section 3.10 is made by the Company shall be at the option of the Company,
provided that such deposit shall be made in a manner such that the Trustee or a
Paying Agent shall have immediately available funds on the Change in Control
Purchase Date.

                If a Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof,
money sufficient to pay the Change in Control Purchase Price of any Security
tendered for purchase plus accrued interest thereon to but not including the
Change in Control Purchase Date, then, on the Change in Control Purchase Date,
such Security will cease to be outstanding and the rights of the Holder in
respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Change in
Control Purchase Price plus accrued interest as aforesaid). The Company shall
publicly announce the principal

                                       20
<PAGE>   28

amount of Securities purchased as a result of such Change in Control on or as
soon as practicable after the Change in Control Purchase Date.

                SECTION 3.11. SECURITIES PURCHASED IN PART.

                Any Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be
surrendered at the office of a Paying Agent and promptly after the Change in
Control Purchase Date the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge,
a new Security or Securities, of such authorized denomination or denominations
as may be requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to, and
in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security so
surrendered that is not purchased.

                SECTION 3.12. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS UPON PURCHASE OF
                              SECURITIES.

                In connection with any offer to purchase or purchase of
Securities under Section 3.8, the Company shall (a) comply with Rule 13e-3, Rule
13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 (or any successor to any such Rule), if applicable, under
the Exchange Act, (b) file the related Schedule to (or any successor or similar
schedule, form or report) if required under the Exchange Act, and (c) otherwise
comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with such offer,
all so as to permit the rights of the Holders and obligations of the Company
under Sections 3.8 through 3.11 to be exercised in the time and in the manner
specified therein.

                SECTION 3.13. REPAYMENT TO THE COMPANY.

                Subject to the provisions of Section 5.7, to the extent that the
aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.10
exceeds the aggregate Change in Control Purchase Price of the Securities or
portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase, plus accrued
interest thereon up to but not including the Change in Control Purchase Date,
then promptly after the Change in Control Purchase Date the Trustee or a Paying
Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess to the Company.

                                    ARTICLE 4
                                   CONVERSION

                SECTION 4.1. CONVERSION PRIVILEGE.

                Subject to the further provisions of this Section 4.1, a Holder
of a Security may convert the principal amount of such Security (or any portion
thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof)
into Common Stock at any time prior to the close of business on the Final
Maturity Date, at the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that,
if such Security is called for redemption pursuant to Article 3, such conversion
right shall terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Redemption Date for such Security or such earlier date as the
Holder presents such Security for redemption (unless the Company shall default
in making the Redemption Payment when due, in which case the conversion right
shall terminate at the close of business on the date such default is

                                       21
<PAGE>   29

cured and such Security is redeemed). The number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of a Security shall be determined by dividing the
principal amount of the Security or portion thereof surrendered for conversion
by the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date. The initial Conversion
Price is set forth in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 in the "Terms of
The Exchange Offer" and is subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 4.

                A Holder may convert a portion of a Security equal to $1,000 or
any integral multiple thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to
conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a
Security.

                A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Change
in Control Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 3.8(c) exercising the option of
such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted
only if such Change in Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn by a written notice
of withdrawal delivered to a Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Change in Control Purchase Date in
accordance with Section 3.9.

                A Holder of Securities is not entitled to any rights of a holder
of Common Stock until such Holder has converted its Securities to Common Stock,
and only to the extent such Securities are deemed to have been converted into
Common Stock pursuant to this Article 4.

                SECTION 4.2. AUTO CONVERSION.

                The Company may elect to automatically convert the Exchange
Notes on or prior to maturity if the Common Stock price has exceeded 150% of the
conversion price for at least 20 trading days during a 30-day trading period
ending five trading days prior to the notice of automatic conversion. If an
automatic conversion occurs on or prior to December 6, 2001, the Company will
pay additional interest in cash or, at our option, in Common Stock equal to [18
months] worth of interest on the converted Exchange Notes, less any interest
actually paid prior to automatic conversion. If the Company elects to pay the
additional interest in Common Stock, the shares of Common Stock will be valued
at 90% of the average of the closing prices for the five trading days
immediately preceding the second trading day prior to the Conversion Date.

                SECTION 4.3. CONVERSION PROCEDURE.

                To convert a Security, a Holder must (a) complete and manually
sign the conversion notice on the back of the Security and deliver such notice
to a Conversion Agent, (b) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (c)
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by a
Registrar or a Conversion Agent, and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if
required. The date on which the Holder satisfies all of those requirements is
the "Conversion Date." As soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, the
Company shall deliver to the Holder through a Conversion Agent a certificate for
the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion and cash
in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.4. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, conversion notices
may be delivered and such Securities may be surrendered for conversion in
accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary as in effect from
time to time.

                                       22
<PAGE>   30

                The person in whose name the Common Stock certificate is
registered shall be deemed to be a shareholder of record on the Conversion Date;
provided, however, that no surrender of a Security on any date when the stock
transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute
the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such
conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on
such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or
persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or
holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding
day on which such stock transfer books are open; provided, further, that such
conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date as
if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion
of a Security, such person shall no longer be a Holder of such Security. No
payment or adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions on shares of
Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security.

                Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.3, no payment or
adjustment will be made for accrued interest on a converted Security; provided,
however, that interest accrued to but excluding December 6, 2001 shall be paid
on any Security called for redemption pursuant to Article 3 and surrendered for
conversion pursuant to this Article 4 on or before the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding December 6, 2001 (with interest accrued from
and including December 1, 2001 through and including December 6, 2001 being paid
to the Holder surrendering such Security for conversion). If any Holder
surrenders a Security for conversion after the close of business on the record
date for the payment of an installment of interest and before the close of
business on the related interest payment date, then, notwithstanding such
conversion, the interest payable on such interest payment date shall be paid to
the Holder in whose name such Security was registered at the close of business
on such record date; and, in such event, unless such Security has been called
for redemption, such Security, when surrendered for conversion, must be
accompanied by delivery by such Holder of payment (which may be in the form of a
check or draft payable to the Conversion Agent) in an amount equal to the
interest payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount of such
Security or portion thereof so converted. If the Company defaults in the payment
of interest payable on such interest payment date, the Company shall promptly
repay such funds to such Holder.

                Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of a Holder in
whose name any Security is registered at the close of business on a record date
to receive the interest payable on such Security on the related interest payment
date in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities.

                If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time,
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be based
on the aggregate principal amount of Securities converted.

                Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder, a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of
the Security surrendered.

                                       23
<PAGE>   31

                SECTION 4.4. FRACTIONAL SHARES.

                The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock
upon conversion of Securities. In lieu thereof, the Company will pay an amount
in cash based upon the closing price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately prior to the Conversion Date.

                SECTION 4.5. TAXES ON CONVERSION.

                If a Holder converts a Security, the Company shall pay any
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares
of Common Stock upon such conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax
which is due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name other
than the Holder's name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the
certificate representing the Common Stock being issued in a name other than the
Holder's name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any
tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than
the Holder's name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by
law or regulation.

                SECTION 4.6. COMPANY TO PROVIDE STOCK.

                The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Securities
hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Securities into shares of
Common Stock.

                All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the
Securities shall be newly issued shares, shall be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive rights
and free of any lien or adverse claim.

                The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal
and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common
Stock upon conversion of Securities, if any, and will list or cause to have
quoted such shares of Common Stock on each national securities exchange or on
the Nasdaq National Market or other over-the-counter market or such other market
on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

                SECTION 4.7. ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE.

                The conversion price as stated in the Registration Statement on
Form S-4 in the "Terms of The Exchange Offer" (the "Conversion Price") shall be
adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

                (a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on its Common
Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) make a distribution on its Common Stock in
shares of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, or (iv) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter
surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive that number of shares of
Common Stock which it would have owned had such Security been converted
immediately prior to the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to
this subsection (a) shall become

                                       24
<PAGE>   32

effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of subdivision or combination.

                (b) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or
substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period
commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more
than 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share
(or having a conversion price per share) less than the current market price per
share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this
Section 4.7) on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled
to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares
which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock
so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so
offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion
price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible
securities) would purchase at the current market price per share (as defined in
subsection (e) of this Section 4.7) of Common Stock on such record date, and of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered
(or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are
issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the
end of the period during which such rights or warrants are exercisable not all
rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price
shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number
of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (or the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually
issued).

                (c) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially
all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company
(other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets
(including securities of any person other than the Company), or shall distribute
to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights and
warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 4.7 and also excluding
the distribution of rights to all holders of Common Stock pursuant to the
adoption of a stockholders rights plan or the detachment of such rights under
the terms of such stockholder rights plan), then in each such case the
Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price
determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price by a fraction of which
the numerator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in
subsection (e) of this Section 4.7) of the Common Stock on the record date
mentioned below less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by
the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such
fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of
indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or
warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of

                                       25
<PAGE>   33

which the denominator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in
subsection (e) of this Section 4.7) of the Common Stock on such record date.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is
made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.

                (d)(1) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at
any time distribute (a "Triggering Distribution") to all or substantially all
holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the
aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the
Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and
which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee)
of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company
or a Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months
preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of
which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.7 has been made
and (B) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its
Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the
Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment
pursuant to this Section 4.7 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 12.5% of
the product of the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined
in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.7) on the Business Day (the
"Determination Date") immediately preceding the day on which such Triggering
Distribution is declared by the Company multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding shares held in the
treasury of the Company), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same
shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the current market price per share of the Common Stock (as determined
in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.7) on the Determination Date
less the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair market value
(determined as aforesaid) of any such other consideration so distributed, paid
or payable within such 12 months (including, without limitation, the Triggering
Distribution) applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis
of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date)
and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common
Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.7) on
the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to
the opening of business on the day following the date on which the Triggering
Distribution is paid.

                (2) In case any tender offer made by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries for Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended
upon the expiration thereof) shall involve the payment of aggregate
consideration in an amount (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of
cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the
Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and
which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee
thereof ) of any other consideration) that, together with the aggregate amount
of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which
shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any
other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by the Company
or any Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within the 12
months preceding the date of the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in
respect of which no Conversion Price

                                       26
<PAGE>   34

adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.7 has been made and (B) all cash
distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made
within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no
Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.7 has been made, exceeds
an amount equal to 12.5% of the product of the current market price per share of
Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section
4.7) as of the last date (the "Expiration Date") tenders could have been made
pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which
such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter
sometimes called the "Expiration Time") multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares
held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately
prior to the opening of business on the day after the Expiration Date, the
Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
(including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the
Company) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the current market price per share
of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this
Section 4.7) on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date and the
denominator shall be the sum of (x) the aggregate consideration (determined as
aforesaid) payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum
specified in the terms of the tender offer) of all shares of Common Stock
validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares of
Common Stock deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as
the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in
the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time and the current market price
per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of
this Section 4.7) on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, such
reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on
the day following the Expiration Date. In the event that the Company is
obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer,
but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or
all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion
Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been
in effect based upon the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased. If
the application of this Section 4.7(d)(2) to any tender offer would result in an
increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender
offer under this Section 4.7(d)(2).

                (3) For purposes of this Section 4.7(d), the term "tender offer"
shall mean and include both tender offers and exchange offers, all references to
"purchases" of shares of Common Stock in tender offers (and all similar
references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares of Common Stock
in tender offers and the acquisition of shares pursuant to exchange offers, and
all references to "tendered shares" (and all similar references) shall mean and
include shares of Common Stock tendered in both tender offers and exchange
offers.

                (e) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b),
(c) and (d) of this Section 4.7, the current market price per share of Common
Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices
for the 30 consecutive Trading Days commencing 45 Trading Days before (i) the
Determination Date or the Expiration Date, as the case may be, with respect to
distributions or tender offers under subsection (d) of this Section 4.7

                                       27
<PAGE>   35

or (ii) the record date with respect to distributions, issuances or other events
requiring such computation under subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 4.7. The
closing price for each day shall be the last reported sales price or, in case no
such reported sale takes place on such date, the average of the reported closing
bid and asked prices in either case on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE")
or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on the NYSE, on the
principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or
admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange, the last reported sales price of the Common Stock as quoted
on NASDAQ (the term "NASDAQ" shall include, without limitation, the Nasdaq
National Market) or, in case no reported sales takes place, the average of the
closing bid and asked prices as quoted on NASDAQ or any comparable system or, if
the Common Stock is not quoted on NASDAQ or any comparable system, the closing
sales price or, in case no reported sale takes place, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices, as furnished by any two members of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by the
Company for that purpose. If no such prices are available, the current market
price per share shall be the fair value of a share of Common Stock as determined
by the Board of Directors (which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee).

                (f) In any case in which this Section 4.7 shall require that an
adjustment be made following a record date or a Determination Date or Expiration
Date, as the case may be, established for purposes of this Section 4.7, the
Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the
filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section
4.10) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such record date or
Determination Date or Expiration Date the shares of Common Stock and other
capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the
shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such
conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and,
in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall
issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate
evidence prepared by the Company of the right to receive such shares. If any
distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is
required to be made as of the record date or Determination Date or Expiration
Date therefore is not thereafter made or paid by the Company for any reason, the
Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be
in effect if such record date had not been fixed or such effective date or
Determination Date or Expiration Date had not occurred.

                SECTION 4.8. NO ADJUSTMENT.

                No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless
the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the
Conversion Price as last adjusted; provided, however, that any adjustments which
by reason of this Section 4.8 are not required to be made shall be carried
forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations
under this Article 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest
one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

                No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in
Section 4.7 if all Securityholders are entitled to participate in the
transaction on a basis and with notice that the Board of Directors determines to
be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and notice on which

                                       28
<PAGE>   36

holders of Common Stock participate in the transaction. The Company shall give
notice to the Trustee of any such determination.

                No adjustment need be made for issuances of Common Stock
pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest or for a
change in the par value or a change to no par value of the Common Stock.

                To the extent that the Securities become convertible into the
right to receive cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash.
Interest will not accrue on the cash.

                SECTION 4.9. ADJUSTMENT FOR TAX PURPOSES.

                The Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the
Conversion Price, in addition to those required by Section 4.7, as it in its
discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends,
subdivisions of shares, distributions of rights to purchase stock or securities
or distributions of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock
hereafter made by the Company to its shareholders shall not be taxable.

                SECTION 4.10. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT.

                Whenever the Conversion Price or conversion privilege is
adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Securityholders a notice of the
adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers' Certificate briefly stating
the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it.

                SECTION 4.11. NOTICE OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.

                In the event that:

                        (1) the Company takes any action which would require an
                adjustment in the Conversion Price;

                        (2) the Company consolidates or merges with, or
                transfers all or substantially all of its property and assets
                to, another corporation and shareholders of the Company must
                approve the transaction; or

                        (3) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the
                Company,

the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee a notice stating the
proposed record or effective date, as the case may be. The Company shall mail
the notice at least ten days before such date. Failure to mail such notice or
any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to
in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 4.11.

                SECTION 4.12. EFFECT OF RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER
                              OR SALE ON CONVERSION PRIVILEGE.

                If any of the following shall occur, namely: (a) any
reclassification or change of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Securities (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a

                                       29
<PAGE>   37

subdivision or combination, or any other change for which an adjustment is
provided in Section 4.7); (b) any consolidation or merger to which the Company
is a party other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change
(other than a change in name, or in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (c) any sale or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company
to any person, then the Company, or such successor, purchasing or transferee
corporation, as the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, execute and
deliver to the Trustee a supplemental Indenture providing that the Holder of
each Security then outstanding shall have the right to convert such Security
into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property
(including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon conversion of such Security immediately prior to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Such
supplemental Indenture shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Price
which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of
the Conversion Price provided for in this Article 4. If, in the case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and
property (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock
include shares of stock or other securities and property of a person other than
the successor, purchasing or transferee corporation, as the case may be, in such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental Indenture
shall also be executed by such other person and shall contain such additional
provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the
Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the
foregoing. The provisions of this Section 4.12 shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, sales or
conveyances.

                In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental Indenture
pursuant to this Section 4.12, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee
(x) an Officers' Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefore, the kind or
amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash)
receivable by Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities
after any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all
conditions precedent have been complied with and (y) an Opinion of Counsel that
all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice
thereof to all Holders.

                SECTION 4.13. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER.

                The Trustee shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment
under this Article 4 should be made, how it should be made or what such
adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the
correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, an
Officers' Certificate including the Officers' Certificate with respect thereto
which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section
4.10. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any
securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and the Trustee shall
not be responsible for the Company's failure to comply with any provisions of
this Article 4.

                                       30
<PAGE>   38

                The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine
the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental Indenture
executed pursuant to Section 4.12, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the
correctness thereof, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the Officers'
Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 4.12.

                SECTION 4.14. VOLUNTARY REDUCTION.

                The Company from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price by
any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days or such
longer period as may be required by law and if the reduction is irrevocable
during the period; provided, however, that in no event may the Company reduce
the Conversion Price to be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                                  SUBORDINATION

                SECTION 5.1. SECURITIES SUBORDINATED TO SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.

                The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities
issued hereunder by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that
all Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 5; and
each person holding any Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer
or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

                The payment of all amounts on account of all Securities issued
hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be
subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or
thereafter created, assumed or guaranteed.

                SECTION 5.2. SECURITIES SUBORDINATED TO PRIOR PAYMENT OF ALL
                             SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS ON DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION,
                             REORGANIZATION, ETC., OF THE COMPANY.

                Upon the payment or distribution of the assets of the Company of
any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including any
collateral at any time securing the Securities), to creditors upon any
dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether
voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
liquidation, receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or any other marshaling of the assets and liabilities of the Company,
or in any similar proceedings), then in such event:

                        (a) all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full,
                in cash, before any payment is made on account of the
                Securities, whether by way of the payment of principal of or
                interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the

                                       31
<PAGE>   39

                Securities, a deposit pursuant to Section 10.1, a repurchase,
                redemption or other acquisition of the Securities or otherwise
                (collectively, "pay the Securities");

                        (b) any payment or distribution of assets of the Company
                of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
                securities (other than securities of the Company as reorganized
                or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other person
                provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment,
                junior, or the payment of which is otherwise subordinate, at
                least to the extent provided in this Article 5, with respect to
                the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness), to
                which the Holders or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders would
                be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 5,
                including any such payment or distribution which may be payable
                or deliverable by reason of the payment of another debt of the
                Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities,
                shall be paid or delivered by any debtor, Custodian or other
                person making such payment or distribution, directly to the
                holders of the Senior Indebtedness or their representative or
                representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any
                indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of
                such Senior Indebtedness have been issued, ratably according to
                the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior
                Indebtedness held or represented by each, for application to
                payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the
                extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full after
                giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or
                for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and

                        (c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing
                provisions of this Section 5.2, any payment or distribution of
                assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash,
                property or securities (other than securities of the Company as
                reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any
                other person provided for by a plan of reorganization or
                readjustment, junior, or the payment of which is otherwise
                subordinate, at least to the extent provided for in this Article
                5, with respect to the Securities, to the payment of all Senior
                Indebtedness), shall be received by the Trustee or any Paying
                Agent or the Holders before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in
                full, such payment or distribution (subject to the provisions of
                Sections 5.6 and 5.7) shall be held in trust for the benefit of,
                and shall be immediately paid or delivered by the Trustee, such
                Paying Agent or such Holders, as the case may be, to, the
                holders of Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid or unprovided
                for, or their representative or representatives, or to the
                trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any
                instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness have been
                issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining
                unpaid on account of the Senior Indebtedness held or represented
                by each, for application to the payment of all Senior
                Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay
                all Senior Indebtedness in full after giving effect to any
                concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the
                holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

                The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company.

                                       32
<PAGE>   40

                Upon any distribution of assets of the Company referred to in
this Article 5, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely
conclusively upon any order or decree by any court of competent jurisdiction in
which such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding is
pending, or a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person
making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the
amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed
thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 5.

                SECTION 5.3. HOLDERS TO BE SUBROGATED TO RIGHT OF HOLDERS OF
                             SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.

                Subject to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness
then due, the Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Company
applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and interest on the
Securities shall be paid in full, and, for purposes of such subrogation, no
payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of assets,
whether in cash, property or securities, distributable to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness under the provisions hereof to which the Holders would be entitled
except for the provisions of this Article 5, and no payment pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 5 to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by the
Holders shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of
Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company
to or on account of Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions
of this Article 5 are, and are intended, solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, on the other hand.

                SECTION 5.4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY UNCONDITIONAL.

                Nothing contained in this Article 5 or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in any Security is intended to or shall impair, as among the
Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the
Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay to the Holders the principal of and interest on the Securities, as and when
the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the
Securities and this Indenture, or to affect the relative rights of the Holders
and other creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any
Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon
the happening of an Event of Default under this Indenture, subject to the
provisions of Article 8, and the rights, if any, under this Article 5 of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive assets, whether in cash, property or
securities, of the Company otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or
such Holder upon the exercise of any such remedy.

                SECTION 5.5. COMPANY NOT TO MAKE PAYMENT WITH RESPECT TO
                             SECURITIES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

                (a) Upon the happening of a default in payment (whether at
maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by acceleration or otherwise) of
the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Indebtedness, as
such default is defined under or in respect of such Senior Indebtedness or in
any agreement pursuant to which such Senior Indebtedness has been

                                       33
<PAGE>   41

incurred, then, unless and until the amount of such Senior Indebtedness then due
shall have been paid in full or provision made therefore in a manner
satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, or such default shall
have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, the Company shall not
pay the Securities.

                (b) Upon the happening of an event of default with respect to
any Senior Indebtedness (other than under circumstances when the terms of
subsection (a) of this Section 5.5 are applicable), as such event of default is
defined under or in respect of such Senior Indebtedness or in any agreement
pursuant to which such Senior Indebtedness has been incurred, permitting the
holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof, and upon written notice
thereof given to the Company and the Trustee by any one or more holders of such
Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or the trustee or
trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of
such Senior Indebtedness have been issued (a "Default Notice"), then, unless and
until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased
to exist, the Company shall not pay the Securities; provided, however, that the
foregoing provisions of this sentence shall not prevent the making of any such
payment (which is not otherwise prohibited by subsection (a) of this Section
5.5) for more than 180 days after the Default Notice shall have been given
unless the Senior Indebtedness in respect of which such event of default exists
has been declared due and payable in its entirety, in which case no such payment
may be made until such acceleration has been waived, rescinded or annulled, or
such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, or payment thereof shall
be duly provided for in cash or in any other manner satisfactory to the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one
Default Notice shall be given with respect to the same issue of Senior
Indebtedness within a period of 360 consecutive days, and no event of default
which existed or was continuing on the date of any Default Notice and was known
to the holders of such issue of Senior Indebtedness shall be made the basis for
the giving of a subsequent Default Notice by the holders of such issue of Senior
Indebtedness.

                (c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 5.5, the Company shall pay the Securities and such payment shall
be received by the Trustee, any Holder or any Paying Agent (or, if the Company
is acting as its own Paying Agent, money for any such payment shall be
segregated and held in trust), after the happening of a default or event of
default, as the case may be, under any Senior Indebtedness of the type specified
in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 5.5, then, unless and until the
amount of such Senior Indebtedness then due shall have been paid in full or
provision made therefore or such default or event of default, as the case may
be, shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist or any such
acceleration referred to in the proviso to subsection (b) of this Section 5.5
shall have been waived, rescinded or annulled, such payment (subject, in each
case, to the provisions of Sections 5.6 and 5.7 and the proviso contained in
subsection (b) of this Section 5.5) shall be held in trust for the benefit of,
and shall be immediately paid over to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or
their representative or representatives or the trustee or trustees under any
indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of the Senior Indebtedness
may have been issued ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid
on account of the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, for
application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the
extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in accordance with its terms,
after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the
benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

                SECTION 5.6. NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

                The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to
or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions
of this Article 5 or any other provision of this 40 48 Indenture, the Trustee
shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts
which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee, unless and
until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or
from the holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness or from their representative
or representatives or from the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant
to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness have been
issued; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall
be entitled to assume conclusively that such facts do not exist.

                The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the
delivery to it of a written notice by a person representing himself or herself
to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a representative of such holder or the
trustee under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of
such Senior Indebtedness have been issued) to establish that such notice has
been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a representative of any such
holder. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further
evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of
Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to
this Article 5, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness
held by such person, the extent to which such person is entitled to participate
in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of
each person under this Article 5, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the
Trustee may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as
to the right of such person to receive such payment.

                SECTION 5.7. APPLICATION BY TRUSTEE OF MONEY DEPOSITED WITH IT.

                Money deposited in trust with the Trustee pursuant to Section
10.1 and not in violation of this Article 5 shall be for the sole benefit of
Holders and shall thereafter not be subject to the subordination provisions of
this Article 5. Otherwise, any deposit of money by the Company with the Trustee
or any Paying Agent (whether or not in trust) for the payment of the principal
of or interest on any Securities shall be subject to the provisions of Sections
5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.5; except that, if two Business Days prior to the date on
which by the terms of this Indenture any such money may become payable for any
purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of either the principal of
or interest on any Security) the Trustee shall not have received with respect to
such money the notice provided for in Section 5.6, then the Trustee or any
Paying Agent shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to
apply such money to the purpose for which it was received, and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after
such date. This Section 5.7 shall be construed solely for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Paying Agent and shall not otherwise affect the rights that
holders of Senior Indebtedness may have to recover any such payments from the
Holders in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5.

                SECTION 5.8. SUBORDINATION RIGHTS NOT IMPAIRED BY ACTS OR
                             OMISSIONS OF COMPANY OR HOLDERS OF SENIOR
                             INDEBTEDNESS.

                No right of any present or future holders of any Senior
Indebtedness to enforce subordination, as herein provided, shall at any time in
any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of
the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder,
or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants
of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may
have or be otherwise charged with. The holders of any Senior Indebtedness may
extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of such Senior Indebtedness or any
security therefore and release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise
deal freely with the Company, all without affecting the liabilities and
obligations of the parties to this Indenture or the Holders.

                SECTION 5.9. TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION.

                Each Holder of a Security by its acceptance thereof authorizes
and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article 5 and
appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

                SECTION 5.10. RIGHT OF TRUSTEE TO HOLD SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.

                The Trustee, in its individual capacity, shall be entitled to
all of the rights set forth in this Article 5 in respect of any Senior
Indebtedness at any time held by it to the same extent as any other holder of
Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to deprive
the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

                Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments
to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 9.7.

                SECTION 5.11. ARTICLE 5 NOT TO PREVENT EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

                The failure to make a payment on account of the principal of or
interest on the Securities by reason of any provision in this Article 5 shall
not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default or an Event of
Default.

                SECTION 5.12. NO FIDUCIARY DUTY CREATED TO HOLDERS OF SENIOR
                              INDEBTEDNESS.

                Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article 5, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness by virtue of the provisions of this Article 5.

                SECTION 5.13. ARTICLE APPLICABLE TO PAYING AGENTS.

                In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee
shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term
"Trustee" as used in this Article 5 shall in such case (unless the context shall
otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent
within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if

                                       36
<PAGE>   44

such Paying Agent were named in this Article 5 in addition to or in place of the
Trustee; provided, however, that Sections 5.6, 5.10 and 5.12 shall not apply to
the Company if it acts as Paying Agent.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                                    COVENANTS

                SECTION 6.1. PAYMENT OF SECURITIES.

                The Company shall promptly make all payments in respect of the
Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and this
Indenture. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on
the date it is due if the Paying Agent (other than the Company) holds by 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on that date money, deposited by the Company or an
Affiliate thereof, sufficient to pay the installment. The Company shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, pay interest on overdue principal (including
premium, if any) and overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the
Securities per annum.

                SECTION 6.2. SEC REPORTS.

                The Company shall file all reports and other information and
documents which it is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, and within 15 days after it files them with the SEC,
the Company shall file copies of all such reports, information and other
documents with the Trustee.

                In the event the Company is at any time no longer subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company
will prepare, for the first three quarters of each fiscal year, quarterly
financial statements substantially equivalent to the financial statements
required to be included in a report on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act. The
Company will also prepare, on an annual basis, complete audited consolidated
financial statements, including, but not limited to, a balance sheet, a
statement of operations, a statement of cash flows and all appropriate notes.
All such financial statements will be prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The Company will cause a copy of such financial
statements to be filed with the Trustee and mailed to the Holders of the
Securities within 50 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of
each fiscal year and within 95 days after the close of each fiscal year. The
Company will also comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a).

                SECTION 6.3. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES.

                The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after
the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers' Certificate as to the
signer's knowledge of the Company's compliance with all conditions and covenants
on its part contained in this Indenture and stating whether or not the signer
knows of any default or Event of Default. If such signer knows of such a default
or Event of Default, the Officers' Certificate shall describe the default or
Event of Default and the efforts to remedy the same. For the purposes of this
Section 6.3,

                                       37
<PAGE>   45

compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement
of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

                SECTION 6.4. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

                In the event (a) that indebtedness of the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $10,000,000
is declared due and payable before its maturity because of the occurrence of any
default under such indebtedness, or (b) of the occurrence of any event which
entitles the holder or holders of such indebtedness to declare such indebtedness
due and payable before its maturity and with respect to which any applicable
grace period has lapsed or expired, the Company will promptly give written
notice to the Trustee of such declaration or event.

                SECTION 6.5. FURTHER INSTRUMENTS AND ACTS.

                Upon request of the Trustee, the Company will execute and
deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably
necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this
Indenture.

                SECTION 6.6. MAINTENANCE OF CORPORATE EXISTENCE.

                Subject to Article 7, the Company will do or cause to be done
all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises, and the existence,
rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of its Subsidiaries; provided,
however, that the Company will not be required to preserve any such right or
franchise or the existence of any Subsidiary if the Board of Directors
determines that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct
of its business and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders of the outstanding Securities.

                                    ARTICLE 7
                              SUCCESSOR CORPORATION

                SECTION 7.1. WHEN COMPANY MAY MERGE, ETC.

                The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or
sell, lease, convey, assign or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of
its property and assets to, any person unless:

                        (a) either the Company shall be the resulting or
                surviving corporation or such person is a corporation organized
                and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any
                State thereof or the District of Columbia, and such person
                expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture executed and
                delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee,
                the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on
                all of the outstanding Securities and the due and punctual
                performance and observance of all other covenants, agreements
                and conditions contained in this Indenture and the Securities to
                be performed or

                                       38
<PAGE>   46

                observed by the Company (including, without limitation, the
                obligations of the Company under Article 4 hereof); and

                        (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction
                and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the
                Company or such successor corporation as a result of such
                transaction as having been incurred by the Company or such
                successor corporation, as the case may be, at the time of such
                transaction, no default or Event of Default shall have occurred
                and be continuing.

                The Company shall deliver to the Trustee prior to the proposed
transaction an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each of which
shall comply with Section 12.4 and shall state that such transaction and any
such supplemental indenture comply with this Article 7 and that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied
with; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall address only the
matters referred to in clause (a) of this Section 7.1.

                SECTION 7.2. SUCCESSOR CORPORATION SUBSTITUTED.

                Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, lease,
conveyance, assignment or other transfer of all or substantially all of the
property and assets of the Company in accordance with Section 7.1, the successor
corporation (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into
which the Company is merged or to which such sale, lease, conveyance, assignment
or other transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may
exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the
same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company
herein, and the predecessor corporation (except in the case of a lease) shall be
released from all of its obligations under this Indenture and the Securities.

                                    ARTICLE 8
                              DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

                SECTION 8.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

                An "Event of Default" shall occur if:

                        (1) the Company defaults in the payment of any interest
                on any Security when the same becomes due and payable and the
                default continues for a period of 30 days;

                        (2) the Company defaults in the payment of any principal
                of (including, without limitation, any premium, if any, on) any
                Security when the same becomes due and payable (whether at
                maturity, upon redemption, on a Change of Control Purchase Date
                or otherwise);

                                       39
<PAGE>   47

                        (3) the Company fails to comply with any of its other
                agreements contained in the Securities or this Indenture and the
                default continues for the period and after the notice specified
                below;

                        (4) a default shall occur under any bond, debenture,
                note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed of the
                Company or any Significant Subsidiary having an aggregate
                outstanding principal amount in excess of $10,000,000, which
                default shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or
                being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it
                would otherwise have been due and payable, without such
                indebtedness having been discharged, or such acceleration having
                been rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 days following
                the occurrence of such acceleration;

                        (5) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant
                to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

                                (A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding;

                                (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief
                        against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;

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

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

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

                                (A) is for relief against the Company or any
                        Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or
                        proceeding;

                                (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any
                        Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all
                        of the property of the Company or any Significant
                        Subsidiary; or

                                (C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any
                        Significant Subsidiary;

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

                The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11 of the United States
Code (or any successor thereto) or any similar federal or state law for the
relief of debtors. The term "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

                A default under clause (3) above is not an Event of Default
until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the

                                       40
<PAGE>   48

Securities then outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee, of the default,
and the Company does not cure the default within 60 days after receipt of such
notice. The notice given pursuant to this Section 8.1 must specify the default,
demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a "Notice of Default."
When any default under this Section 8.1 is cured, it ceases.

                The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of
Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to a Trust Officer
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee by the Company, a Paying Agent, any
Holder or any agent of any Holder.

                SECTION 8.2. ACCELERATION.

                If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified
in clause (5) or (6) of Section 8.1) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may,
by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding may, by notice to the Company and the
Trustee, declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest to the date of
acceleration on the Securities then outstanding (if not then due and payable) to
be due and payable upon any such declaration, and the same shall become and be
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or
(6) of Section 8.1 occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the
Securities then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration
and its consequences if (a) all existing Events of Default, other than the
nonpayment of the principal of and accrued interest on the Securities which has
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or
waived; (b) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest
(calculated at the rate per annum borne by the Securities) on overdue
installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; (c) the rescission
would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction; and (d) all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee under Section 9.7 have been made. Anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding (other than the provisions of this sentence), in the
event of any acceleration pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Company shall not be
obligated to pay any premium which it would have had to pay if it had then
elected to redeem the Securities pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities,
except in the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful
action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with
the intention of avoiding payment of the premium which it would have had to pay
if it had then elected to redeem the Securities pursuant to paragraph 5 of the
Securities, in which case an equivalent premium shall also become and be
immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law, and except that any
premium payable in respect of any Securities which shall have been called for
redemption shall be due and payable upon such acceleration.

                SECTION 8.3. OTHER REMEDIES.

                If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at
law or in equity to collect the payment of the principal of or interest on the
Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or
this Indenture.

                                       41
<PAGE>   49

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

                SECTION 8.4. WAIVER OF DEFAULTS AND EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

                Subject to Sections 8.7 and 11.2, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may
waive an existing default or Event of Default and its consequence, except a
default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on
any Security or any default or Event of Default in respect of any provision of
this Indenture or the Securities which, under Section 11.2, cannot be modified
or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. When a
default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases.

                SECTION 8.5. CONTROL BY MAJORITY.

                The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities
then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or
power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder or the Trustee, or that may
involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee
may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent
with such direction.

                SECTION 8.6. LIMITATIONS ON SUITS.

                A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Securities (except actions for payment of overdue principal or
interest or for the conversion of the Securities pursuant to Article 4) unless:

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

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

                        (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee
                indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss,
                liability or expense;

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

                        (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request
                has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the
                Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then
                outstanding.

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

                SECTION 8.7. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT AND TO
                             CONVERT.

                Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right
of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of the principal of and interest
on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security
and this Indenture, to convert such Security in accordance with Article 4 and to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates or the right to convert, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

                SECTION 8.8. COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.

                If an Event of Default in the payment of principal or interest
specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 8.1 occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against the Company or another obligor on the Securities for the whole amount of
principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with, to the extent
that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue principal and on
overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by
the Securities 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 8.9. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

                The Trustee may 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 allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any
other obligor on the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be
entitled and empowered to collect and receive any money or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, 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 9.7, and to the extent that such payment
of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances in any such
proceedings 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 property which the Holders may be entitled to
receive in such proceedings, 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, on behalf of any
Holder, to authorize, accept or adopt any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding.

                SECTION 8.10. PRIORITIES.

                If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 8, it
shall pay out the money in the following order:

                First, to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 9.7;

                Second, to the holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent
required by Article 5;

                Third, to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities
for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and
interest, respectively; and

                Fourth, to the Company.

                The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 8.10.

                SECTION 8.11. 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 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 8.11 does not apply to a suit made by the Trustee, a suit
by a Holder pursuant to Section 8.7, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

                SECTION 8.12. WAIVER OF USURY, STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS.

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

                                    ARTICLE 9
                                     TRUSTEE

                SECTION 9.1. 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

                                       44
<PAGE>   52

care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

                        (1) the Trustee need perform only those duties as are
                specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others; and

                        (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee
                may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
                correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates
                or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
                requirements of this Indenture. The Trustee, however, shall
                examine any certificates and opinions which by any provision
                hereof are specifically required to be delivered to the Trustee
                to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of
                this Indenture.

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

                        (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of
                subsection (b) of this Section 9.1;

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

                        (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
                action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance
                with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 8.5.

                (d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers unless the Trustee shall have received adequate indemnity in
its opinion against potential costs and liabilities incurred by it relating
thereto.

                (e) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to
the Trustee is subject to subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 9.1.

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

                SECTION 9.2. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

                Subject to Section 9.1:

                                       45
<PAGE>   53

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

                        (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it
                may require an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel,
                which shall conform to Section 12.4(b). The Trustee shall not be
                liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
                reliance on such Certificate or Opinion.

                        (c) The Trustee may act through its 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 which it believes to be
                authorized or within its rights or powers.

                        (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice
                or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full
                and complete authorization and protection in respect of any such
                action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith
                and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

                SECTION 9.3. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

                The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is
subject to Sections 9.10 and 9.11.

                SECTION 9.4. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER.

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

                SECTION 9.5. NOTICE OF DEFAULT OR EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

                If a default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and
if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder
notice of the default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except
in the case of a default or an Event of Default in payment of the principal of
or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long
as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding
notice is in the interests of Securityholders.

                                       46
<PAGE>   54

                SECTION 9.6. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS.

                If such report is required by TIA Section 313, within 60 days
after each January 15, beginning with the January 15 following the date of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as
of such January 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall
comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2) and (c).

                A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to
Securityholders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each
stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed. The Company shall
notify the Trustee whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange
or listed or admitted to trading on any quotation system and any changes in the
stock exchanges or quotation systems on which the Securities are listed or
admitted to trading.

                SECTION 9.7. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY.

                The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to
time-reasonable compensation (as agreed to from time to time by the Company and
the Trustee) for its services (which compensation shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust). The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable
disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it. Such expenses may
include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's
agents and counsel.

                The Company shall indemnify the Trustee (which for purposes of
this Section 9.7 shall include its officers, directors, employees and agents)
for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with its duties
under this Indenture or any action or failure to act as authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon the Trustee hereunder including
the reasonable costs and expenses of the Trustee and its counsel in defending
itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify
the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may
seek indemnity. The Company need not pay for any settlement without its written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                The Company need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or
indemnify it against any loss or liability incurred by it resulting from its
gross negligence or bad faith.

                To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 9.7,
the Trustee shall have a senior claim to which the Securities are hereby made
subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except
such money or property held in trust to pay the principal of and interest on the
Securities. The obligations of the Company under this Section 9.7 shall survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or removal
of the Trustee.

                When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 8.1 occurs, the
expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

                SECTION 9.8. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE.

                The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company. The Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may remove
the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may, with the Company's written
consent, appoint a successor Trustee. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

                        (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 9.10;

                        (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

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

                        (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

                If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. The resignation or removal of a Trustee shall not be
effective until a successor Trustee shall have delivered the written acceptance
of its appointment as described below.

                If a successor Trustee does not take office within 45 days after
the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or
the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

                If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 9.10, any 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. Immediately after that,
the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee and be released from its obligations (exclusive of any
liabilities that the retiring Trustee may have incurred while acting as Trustee)
hereunder, 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. A successor Trustee shall mail
notice of its succession to each Holder.

                A retiring Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions
of any successor Trustee after its succession.

                Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 9.8, the Company's obligations under Section 9.7 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

                SECTION 9.9. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC..

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

                                       48
<PAGE>   56

transferee corporation shall qualify and be eligible under Section 9.10. Such
successor Trustee shall promptly mail notice of its succession to the Company
and each Holder.

                SECTION 9.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION.

                The Trustee shall always satisfy the requirements of paragraphs
(1), (2) and (5) of TIA Section 310(a). If at any time the Trustee shall cease
to satisfy any such requirements, it shall resign immediately in the manner and
with the effect specified in this Article 9. The Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of TIA Section 310(b). Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from
filing with the SEC the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of
TIA Section 310(b).

                SECTION 9.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.

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

                                   ARTICLE 10
                     SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

                SECTION 10.1. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF Indenture.

                This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to
any surviving rights of conversion, registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities herein expressly provided for and except as further provided below),
and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture,
when

                        (1) either

                                (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and
                        delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been
                        destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced
                        or paid as provided in Section 2.7 and (ii) Securities
                        for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited
                        in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company as
                        provided in Section 10.3) have been delivered to the
                        Trustee for cancellation; or

                                (B) all such Securities not theretofore
                        delivered to the Trustee for cancellation

                                        (i) have become due and payable, or

                                        (ii) will become due and payable at the
                                Final Maturity Date within one year, or

                                within one year under arrangements satisfactory
                                to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
                                redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at
                                the expense, of the Company,

               and the Company, in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above,
               has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited
               with the Trustee or a Paying Agent (other than the Company or any
               of its Affiliates) as trust funds in trust for the purpose cash
               in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
               indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the
               Trustee for cancellation, for principal and interest to the date
               of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due
               and payable) or to the Final Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as
               the case may be;

                        (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other
                sums payable hereunder by the Company; and

                        (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an
                Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
                that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to
                the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been
                complied with.

               Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture,
the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 9.7 and, if money
shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause
(1) of this Section, the provisions of Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.12,
3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 12.5, Article 4, the last paragraph of
Section 6.2 and this Article 10, shall survive.

               SECTION 10.2.        APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY.

               Subject to the provisions of Section 10.3, the Trustee or a
Paying Agent shall hold in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, all money
deposited with it pursuant to Section 10.1 and shall apply the deposited money
in accordance with this Indenture and the Securities to the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Securities. Money so held in trust shall not be
subject to the subordination provisions of Article 5.

               SECTION 10.3.        REPAYMENT TO COMPANY.

               The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the
Company upon request any excess money (i) deposited with them pursuant to
Section 10.1 and (ii) held by them at any time.

The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any
money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains
unclaimed for two years after a right to such money has matured; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such payment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once
in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each
Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed

                                       50

<PAGE>   58

and that after a date specified therein, which shall be at least 30 days from
the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money
then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company,
Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors.

               SECTION 10.4.        REINSTATEMENT.

               If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money
in accordance with Section 10.2 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, then the Company's
obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.1 until such
time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in
accordance with Section 10.2; provided, however, that if the Company has made
any payment of the principal of or interest on any Securities because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Securities to receive any such payment from the money
held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent.

                       AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

               SECTION 11.1.        WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

               The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this
Indenture or the Securities without notice to or consent of any Securityholder:

                        (a)     to comply with Sections 4.12 and 7.1;

                        (b)     to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency
                                or to make any other change that does not
                                adversely affect the rights of any
                                Securityholder;

                        (c)     to comply with the provisions of the TIA; or

                        (d)     to appoint a successor Trustee.

               SECTION 11.2.        WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

               The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this
Indenture or the Securities with the written consent of the Holders of at least
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. The
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company
with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any
Securityholder. However, notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section
11.4, without the written consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment,
supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 8.4, may not:

                                       51

<PAGE>   59

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

                        (2) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of
                interest on any Security;

                        (3) reduce the principal of or premium on or change the
                fixed maturity of any Security or change the definition of
                "Change in Control" or "Change in Control Purchase Date"
                applicable to any Security or the amount payable by the Company
                to the Holder of any Security upon a Change in Control, or alter
                any of the other Change in Control provisions or any of the
                redemption provisions in a manner adverse to the Holder of any
                Security;

                        (4) alter the conversion provisions with respect to any
                Security in a manner adverse to the Holder thereof;

                        (5) waive a default in the payment (whether at maturity,
                upon redemption, on an interest payment date, on a Change in
                Control Purchase Date or otherwise) of the principal of
                (including any premium) or interest on any Security;

                        (6) make any changes in Section 8.4 or in this Section
                11.2, except to increase any percentage in aggregate principal
                amount of outstanding Securities required for any amendment,
                supplement or waiver;

                        (7) modify the provisions of Article 5 in a manner
                adverse to the Holders; or

                        (8) make any Security payable in money other than that
                stated in the Security.

               It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under
this Section 11.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.

               After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 11.2
becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a
notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of
the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in
any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or
waiver.

               An amendment or supplement under this Section 11.2 or under
Section 11.1 may not make any change that adversely affects the rights under
Article 5 of any holder of an issue of Senior Indebtedness unless the holders of
that issue, pursuant to its terms, consent to the change.

               SECTION 11.3.        COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST Indenture ACT.

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

<PAGE>   60

               SECTION 11.4.        REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.

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

               After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it
shall bind every Securityholder, unless it makes a change described in any of
clauses (1) through (8) of Section 11.2. In that case the amendment, supplement
or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder's Security.

               SECTION 11.5.        NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES.

               If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a
Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to
the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about
the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or
the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue
and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed
terms.

               SECTION 11.6.        TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC..

               The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement authorized
pursuant to this Article 11 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does,
the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, but need not sign it. In signing or
refusing to sign such amendment or supplement, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive and, subject to Section 9.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon,
an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment or supplement is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplement
until the Board of Directors approves it.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

               SECTION 12.1.        TRUST Indenture ACT CONTROLS.

               If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts
with the duties imposed by any of Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the TIA
through operation of Section 318(c) thereof, such imposed duties shall control.

mailed by first-class mail to it at its address shown on the register kept by

               the proposed action have been complied with; and

               person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as
               is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion
               as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied
               with; and

provisions of Section 11.4, if a record date is fixed, those persons who were
Holders of Securities at the close of business on such record date (or their
duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to take such
action by vote or consent or to revoke any vote or consent previously given,
whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

               SECTION 12.6.  RULES BY TRUSTEE, PAYING AGENT, REGISTRAR AND
                              CONVERSION AGENT.

               The Trustee may make reasonable rules (not inconsistent with the
terms of this Indenture) for action by or at a meeting of Holders. Any
Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent may make reasonable rules for its
functions.

               SECTION 12.7.  LEGAL HOLIDAYS.

                             BEYOND.COM CORPORATION

           10 7/8% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due December 1, 2003

1.  Interest

                Beyond.com Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or
"Beyond.com", which terms shall include any successor corporation under the
Indenture hereinafter referred to), promises to pay interest on the principal
amount of this Note at the rate of 10 7/8% per annum. The interest so payable,
and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as
provided in such Indenture, be paid in cash, or at the Company election, in
Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, be paid in
cash, or at the Company election, in Common Stock in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture, to the Person in whose name this Security (or one
or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Record Date for such interest, (whether or not a Business Day), next preceding
such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly
provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular
Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or
one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by
the Trustee, noticed whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this
series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at
any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed,
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in said Indenture. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on June
1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2000. Interest on the
Notes shall accrue from the Initial Issuance Date. Interest will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2.  Method of Payment

        The Company shall pay interest on this Note (except defaulted interest)
to the person who is the Holder of this Note at the close of business on the May
15th or November 15th, as the case may be, next preceding the related interest
payment date. The Holder must surrender this Note to a Paying Agent to collect
payment of principal. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of
the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. The Company may, however, pay principal and interest
in respect of any Certificated Security by check or wire payable in such money.
It may mail an interest check to the Holder's registered address.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as this

                                       61
<PAGE>   69

Note is registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all payments
hereon shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of the Depositary or its nominee.

3.  Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent

                Initially, LaSalle National Bank (the "Trustee", which term
shall include any successor trustee under the Indenture hereinafter referred to)
will act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent. The Company may change
any Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent without notice to the Holder.
The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may, subject to certain limitations set
forth in the Indenture, act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

4.  Indenture, Limitations

               This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the
Company designated as its 10 7/8% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due December 1,
2003 (the "Notes"), issued under an Indenture dated as of August __, 2000
(together with any supplemental Indentures thereto, the "Indenture"), between
the Company and the Trustee. The terms of this Note include those stated in the
Indenture and those required by or made part of the Indenture by reference to
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, as in effect on the date of the
Indenture. This Note is subject to all such terms, and the Holder of this Note
is referred to the Indenture and said Act for a statement of them.

               The Notes are subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company
limited to $42,710,000 aggregate principal amount, subject to Section 2.2 of the
Indenture. The Indenture does not limit other debt of the Company, secured or
unsecured, including Senior Indebtedness.

5.  Optional Redemption

               The Notes are subject to redemption, at any time on or after
December 6, 2001, as a whole or from time to time in part, at the election of
the Company. The Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal
amount) are as follows for Notes redeemed during the periods set forth below:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>
December 6, 2001 through November 30, 2002....................106.215%
December 1, 2002 and thereafter...............................103.108%
</TABLE>

in each case together with accrued interest up to but not including the
Redemption Date; provided that installments of interest that are due and payable
on interest payment dates falling on or prior to the relevant Redemption Date
will be payable to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the
close of business on the relevant record dates.

6.  Notice of Redemption

               Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of
Notes 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. On
and after the Redemption Date, subject to the deposit with the

                                       62
<PAGE>   70

Paying Agent of funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price plus accrued
interest, if any, accrued to but excluding the Redemption Date, interest ceases
to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

7.  Purchase of Notes at Option of Holder Upon a Change in Control

               At the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and
conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase all
or any part specified by the Holder (so long as the principal amount of such
part is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the Notes
held by such Holder on the date that is 30 Business Days after the occurrence of
a Change in Control, at a purchase price equal to 105% of the principal amount
thereof together with accrued interest up to but not including the Change in
Control Purchase Date. The Company, at its election, may pay the repurchase
price in cash, or subject to the terms of the Indenture, in Common Stock or a
combination of cash and Common Stock. The Holder shall have the right to
withdraw any Change in Control Purchase Notice (in whole or in a portion thereof
that is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) at any time
prior to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Change in
Control Purchase Date by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying
Agent in accordance with the terms of the Indenture provided that the shares of
Common Stock delivered has a fair market value equal to the repurchase price.
For purposes of this paragraph, the fair market value of shares of Common Stock
shall be determined by the Company and shall be equal to 95% of the average of
the Closing Prices Per Share for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately
preceding the second Trading Day prior to the Repurchase Date. Whenever in this
Security there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of any Security
as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the
Repurchase Price payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such
Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express
mention of the Repurchase Price in any provision of this Security shall not be
construed as excluding the Repurchase Price so payable in those provisions of
this Security when such express mention is not made; provided, however, that,
for the purposes of the succeeding paragraph, such reference shall be deemed to
include reference to the Repurchase Price only to the extent the Repurchase
Price is payable in cash.

8. Conversion

               A Holder of a Note may convert the principal amount of such Note
(or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof) into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to the close of
business on December 1, 2003; provided, however, that if the Note is called for
redemption, the conversion right will terminate at the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date for such Note or such
earlier date as the Holder presents such Note for redemption (unless the Company
shall default in making the redemption payment when due, in which case the
conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such
default is cured and such Note is redeemed). The initial Conversion Price is
$4.00 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note is determined by
dividing the principal amount of the Note or portion thereof converted by the
Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date. No payment or adjustment will
be made for accrued interest on a converted Note, except as described in the
next succeeding paragraph, or for dividends or distributions on shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion of a Note. No

                                       63
<PAGE>   71

fractional shares will be issued upon conversion; in lieu thereof, an amount
will be paid in cash based upon the closing price (as defined in the Indenture)
of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date.

               The Company may elect to automatically convert the Exchange Notes
on or prior to maturity if the Common Stock price has exceeded 150% of the
conversion price for at least 20 trading days during a 30-day trading period
ending five trading days prior to the notice of automatic conversion. If an
automatic conversion occurs on or prior to December 6, 2001, the Company will
pay additional interest in cash or, at our option, in Common Stock equal to [18
months] worth of interest on the converted Exchange Notes, less any interest
actually paid prior to automatic conversion. If the Company elects to pay the
additional interest in Common Stock, the shares of Common Stock will be valued
at 90% of the average of the closing prices for the five trading days
immediately preceding the second trading day prior to the Conversion Date.

               To convert a Note, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign
the conversion notice set forth below and deliver such notice to a Conversion
Agent, (b) surrender the Note to a Conversion Agent, (c) furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents if required by a Registrar or a Conversion
Agent, and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. Interest accrued to
but excluding December 6, 2001 shall be paid on any Note called for redemption
and surrendered for conversion on or before the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding December 6, 2001 (with interest accrued from
and including December 1, 2001 to but excluding December 6, 2001 being paid to
the Holder surrendering such Note for conversion). If a Holder surrenders a Note
for conversion after the close of business on the record date for the payment of
an installment of interest and before the close of business on the related
interest payment date then, notwithstanding such conversion, the interest
payable on such interest payment date shall be paid to the Holder in whose name
such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. In such
event, unless the Note has been called for redemption, such Note, when
surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to
the interest payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount of
the Note or portion thereof then converted. If the Company defaults in the
payment of interest payable on such interest payment date, the Company shall
promptly repay such funds to such Holder. A Holder may convert a portion of a
Note equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

               A Note in respect of which a Holder had delivered a Change in
Control Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the
Company to purchase such Note may be converted only if the Change in Control
Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

9.  Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption

               Any Notes called for redemption, unless surrendered for
conversion before the close of business on the Redemption Date, may be deemed to
be purchased from the Holders of such Notes at an amount not less than the
Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to, but not including,
the Redemption Date, by one or more investment bankers or other purchasers who
may agree with the Company to purchase such Notes from the Holders, to convert
them into Common Stock of the Company and to make payment for such Notes to the
Paying Agent in trust for such Holders.

                                       64
<PAGE>   72

10.  Subordination

               The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is, to the extent and in
the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment
to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company. Any
Holder by accepting this Note agrees to and shall be bound by such subordination
provisions and authorizes the Trustee to give them effect.

               In addition to all other rights of Senior Indebtedness described
in the Indenture, the Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be Senior
Indebtedness and entitled to the benefits of the subordination provisions
irrespective of any amendment, modification or waiver of any terms of any
instrument relating to the Senior Indebtedness or any extension or renewal of
the Senior Indebtedness.

11.  Denominations, Transfer, Exchange

               The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations
of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may register the transfer
of or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require
a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents and to pay any taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed
in relation thereto by law or permitted by the Indenture.

12.  Persons Deemed Owners

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

13.  Unclaimed Money

               If money for the payment of principal or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to
the Company at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to money must
look to the Company for payment.

14.  Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

               Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be
amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority
in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and an existing default or
Event of Default and its consequence or compliance with any provision of the
Indenture or the Notes may be waived in a particular instance with the consent
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.
Without the consent of or notice to any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may
amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any other change that does not
adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

15.  Successor Corporation

               When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its
predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Indenture, the

                                       65
<PAGE>   73

predecessor corporation will (except in certain circumstances specified in the
Indenture) be released from those obligations.

16.  Defaults and Remedies

               An Event of Default is: default for 30 days in payment of any
interest on any Notes; default in payment of any principal (including, without
limitation, any premium, if any) on the Notes when due (whether at maturity,
upon redemption, on a Change of Control Purchase Date, or otherwise); failure by
the Company for 60 days after notice to it to comply with any of its other
agreements contained in the Indenture or the Notes; certain events of
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary; and the acceleration of certain other indebtedness of the Company or
any Significant Subsidiary. If an Event of Default (other than as a result of
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of
at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare all
unpaid principal of and accrued interest to the date of acceleration on the
Notes then outstanding to be due and payable immediately, all as and to the
extent provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs as a result of
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary, unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Notes
then outstanding shall become due and payable immediately without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, all as and to
the extent provided in the Indenture. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or
the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity
satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to
certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The
Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a
default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interests. The Company is required to file periodic reports
with the Trustee as to the absence of default.

17.  Trustee Dealings With the Company

               LaSalle National Bank, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its
individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and
perform services for the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, and may
otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, as if it were
not the Trustee.

18.  No Recourse Against Others

               A director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the
Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under
the Notes or the Indenture nor for any claim based on, in respect of or by
reason of such obligations or their creation. The Holder of this Note by
accepting this Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issuance of this Note.

19.  Discharge Prior to Maturity

               If all of the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation (subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture) or all
the Notes not theretofore delivered to the

                                       66
<PAGE>   74

Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and
payable at their Final Maturity Date within one year or are to be called for
redemption within one year, all on the terms and conditions provided in the
Indenture, and if the Company deposits with the Trustee or a Paying Agent cash
in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes to the
date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and payable) or
to the Final Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, as the case may be, the
Company will be discharged from the Indenture except for certain provisions
thereof.

20.  Authentication

               This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or an
authenticating agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on the
other side of this Note.

21.  Abbreviations and Definitions

               Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of the Holder or

               All terms defined in the Indenture and used in this Note but not

its entirety as follows:

               "Section 3.2 Transaction Documents.

               (a)  Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee
     to do so and at the Administrator's expense, the Issuer agrees to take
     all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or
     secure the performance and observance by SPV, the Servicer, the
     Administrator, VMS or PHH Consumer Lease or any other party to any of
     the Transaction Documents, as applicable, of each of their respective
     obligations under the Transaction Documents,  in each case in accordance
     with the applicable terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights,
     remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer to the
     extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including
     the transmission of notices of default thereunder and the institution of
     legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure
     performance by SPV, the Servicer, the Administrator, VMS or PHH Consumer
     Lease or any other party to any of the Transaction Documents, as
     applicable, of each of their respective obligations under the
     Transaction Documents.  If (i) the Issuer shall have failed, within 30
     days of receiving the direction of the Indenture Trustee, to take
     commercially reasonable action to accomplish such directions of the
     Indenture, (ii) the Issuer refuses to take any such action, or (iii) the
     Indenture Trustee reasonably determines that such action must be taken
     immediately, the Indenture Trustee may take such previously directed
     action and any related action permitted under this Indenture which the
     Indenture Trustee thereafter determines is appropriate (without the need
     under this provision or any other provision under the Indenture to
     direct the Issuer to take such action), on behalf of the Issuer and the
     Investor Noteholders.

               (b)  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
     with respect to any Series of Outstanding Investor Notes, the Indenture
     Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in writing)
     of the Holders of a Majority in Interest of such Series of Outstanding
     Investor Notes (or, if an Event of Default with respect to more than one
     Series of Investor Notes has occurred, a Majority in Interest of each
     Series of Investor Notes with respect to which an Event of Default shall
     have occurred) shall exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges
     and claims of the Issuer against SPV, the Origination Trust or the
     Servicer under or in connection with the Transfer Agreement and the
     Origination Trust Documents, including the right or power to take any
     action to compel or secure performance or observance by SPV, the
     Origination Trust or the Servicer of each of their respective
     obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request,
     notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Transfer
     Agreement and the Origination Trust Documents, and any right of the
     Issuer to take such action shall be suspended; provided that, if an
     Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to less

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

     than all Series of Outstanding Investor Notes, the Indenture Trustee may
     not take any action hereunder that is detrimental to the rights of the
     Holders of the Investor Notes with respect to which no Event of Default
     shall have occurred.

               (c)  Without derogating from the absolute nature of the
     assignment granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the
     rights of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees that it
     will not, without the consent of the Holders of a Majority in Interest
     of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes, (i) amend, modify, waive,
     supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment,
     modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms
     of any of the Issuer Assets, including any of the Transaction Documents
     or (ii) waive timely observance by SPV under the Transfer Agreement or
     the Origination Trust, VMS or the Servicer under the Origination Trust
     Documents.  Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the
     Issuer will not, without the prior written consent of the Indenture
     Trustee or the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of
     Outstanding Notes, terminate the Servicer and appoint a successor
     Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and will terminate
     the Servicer and appoint a successor Servicer in accordance with the
     Servicing Agreement if so directed by the Indenture Trustee or the
     Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Notes."

         any breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of or
         constitute a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of
         trust or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a
         party or by which it or its property is bound or any order of
         any court or administrative agency entered in any suit, action
         or other judicial or administrative proceeding to which the
         Issuer is a party or by which it or its property may be bound or
         to which it or its property may be subject and (iii) all
         conditions precedent provided in this Base Indenture and the
         related Indenture Supplement with respect to the authentication

                 (vi)   such other documents, instruments, certifications,
         agreements or other items as the Indenture Trustee may
         reasonably require.

                 (c)      In conjunction with the issuance of a new
Series of Investor Notes, the parties hereto shall execute an Indenture
Supplement, which shall specify the relevant terms with respect to any

limitation:

                 (i)    its name or designation;

                 (ii)   an Initial Invested Amount or the method

         thereof);

                 (iv)   the Series Closing Date;

                 (v)    each Rating Agency rating such Series;

                 (vi)   the name of the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing

                 (viii) the method of allocating Collections with respect
         to such Series;

                 (ix)   the method by which the principal amount of

                 (x)    the names of any Series Accounts to be used by such

<PAGE>

                 (xii)  the terms on which the Investor Notes of such
         Series may be redeemed, repurchased or remarketed to other
         investors;

                 (xiii) any deposit into any Series Account;

                 (xiv)  the number of Classes of such Series, and if more
         than one Class, the rights and priorities of each such Class;

                 (xv)   the priority of any Series with respect to any
         other Series;

                 (xvi)  the Lease Rate Caps required to be maintained

         Series).

The terms of such Indenture Supplement may modify or amend the terms of
this Indenture solely as applied to such new Series.  If on the date of
the issuance of such Series there is issued and outstanding one or more
Series of Investor Notes and no Series of Investor Notes is currently
rated by a Rating Agency, then as a condition to such issuance a
nationally recognized investment banking firm or commercial bank shall
also deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate of an officer thereof
stating, in substance, that, to the best of such officer's knowledge and
belief, the issuance of such new Series of Investor Notes will not have a
material adverse effect on the timing or distribution of payments to such
other Series of Investor Notes then issued and outstanding.

                 (d)      The Issuer may direct the Indenture Trustee to
deposit all or a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of any new
Series of Investor Notes into a Series Account for another Series of
Investor Notes and may specify that the proceeds from the sale of such
new Series of Investor Notes may be used to reduce the Invested Amount of
another Series of Investor Notes.

                 Section 2.3.  Execution and Authentication.

                 (a)      The Investor Notes shall, upon issue pursuant
to Section 2.2, be executed on behalf of the Issuer by an Authorized
Officer and delivered by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for
authentication and redelivery as provided herein.  If an Authorized
Officer whose signature is on an Investor Note no longer holds that
office at the time the Investor Note is authenticated, the Investor Note
shall nevertheless be valid.

                 (b)      At any time and from time to time after the
execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Investor
Notes of any particular Series executed by the Issuer to the Indenture

                                   -5-

<PAGE>

Trustee for authentication, together with one or more Issuer Orders for
the authentication and delivery of such Investor Notes, and the Indenture
Trustee, in accordance with such Issuer Order and this Indenture, shall
authenticate and deliver such Investor Notes.  If specified in the
related Indenture Supplement for any Series of Investor Notes, the
Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver outside the United
States the Global Note that is issued upon original issuance thereof,
upon receipt of an Issuer Order, to the Depository against payment of the
purchase price therefor.  If specified in the related Indenture
Supplement for any Series of Investor Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate Book-Entry Notes that are issued upon original issuance
thereof, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, to a Clearing Agency, a Foreign
Clearing Agency or its nominee as provided in Section 2.10 against
payment of the purchase price thereof.

                 (c)      No Investor Note shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Indenture or be valid for any purpose unless there
appears on such Investor Note a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein, duly executed by the
Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of a Responsible Officer (and
the Luxembourg agent (the "Luxembourg Agent"), if such Investor Notes are
listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange).  Such signatures on such
certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the
Investor Note has been duly authenticated under this Indenture.  The
Indenture Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the
Issuer to authenticate Investor Notes.  Unless limited by the term of
such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Investor Notes
whenever the Indenture Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this
Indenture to authentication by the Indenture Trustee includes
authentication by such agent.  The Indenture Trustee's certificate of
authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

                 This is one of the Investor Notes of a series issued
under the within mentioned Indenture.

                                           THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, as
                                           Indenture Trustee

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

                 (d)      Each Investor Note shall be dated and issued as
of the date of its authentication by the Indenture Trustee, except Bearer
Notes which shall be dated the applicable Series Closing Date as provided
in the related Indenture Supplement.

                 (e)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Investor
Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never
issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Investor
Note to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation, together with a written
statement (which need not comply with Section 13.2 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Investor Note has

                                   -6-

<PAGE>

never been issued and sold by the Issuer, for all purposes of this
Indenture such Investor Note shall be deemed never to have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

                 Section 2.4.  Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Notes.

                 (a)      The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the office
or agency to be maintained by a transfer agent and registrar (the
"Transfer Agent and Registrar"), a register (the "Note Register") in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Transfer Agent and Registrar shall provide for the registration of the
Investor Notes of each Series (unless otherwise provided in the related
Indenture Supplement) and of transfers and exchanges of the Investor
Notes as herein provided.  Chase is hereby initially appointed Transfer
Agent and Registrar for the purposes of registering the Investor Notes
and transfers and exchanges of the Investor Notes as herein provided.  If
any form of Investor Note is issued as a Global Note, the Indenture
Trustee may, or if and so long as any Series of Investor Notes is listed
on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and such exchange shall so require, the
Indenture Trustee shall appoint a co-transfer agent and co-registrar in
Luxembourg or another European city.  Any reference in this Indenture to
the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall include any co-transfer agent and
co-registrar unless the context otherwise requires.  Chase shall be
permitted to resign as Transfer Agent and Registrar upon 30 days' written
notice to the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that such resignation
shall not be effective and Chase shall continue to perform its duties as
Transfer Agent and Registrar until the Indenture Trustee has appointed a
successor Transfer Agent and Registrar with the consent of the Issuer.

                 If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is
appointed by the Issuer as the Transfer Agent and Registrar, the Issuer
will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment
of such Transfer Agent and Registrar and of the location, and any change
in the location, of the Transfer Agent and Register, and the Indenture
Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Transfer Agent and Register
at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof.

                 An institution succeeding to the corporate agency
business of the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall continue to be the
Transfer Agent and Registrar without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or such Transfer
Agent and Registrar.

                 The Transfer Agent and Registrar shall maintain in The
City of New York (and, if so specified in the related Indenture
Supplement for any Series of Notes, any other city designated in such
Indenture Supplement) an office or offices or agency or agencies where
Investor Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange.  The Transfer Agent and Registrar initially designates its
corporate trust office located at 450 West 33rd Street, New York, New
York 10001-2697 as its office for such purposes.  The Transfer Agent and

                                   -7-

<PAGE>

Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the
Issuer and to the Investor Noteholders of any change in the location of
such office or agency.

                 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Investor Note at the office or agency of the Transfer Agent and
Registrar, if the requirements of Section 2.4(b) and Section 8-401(a) of
the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and after the Issuer has
executed, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and (if the Transfer
Agent and Registrar is different than the Indenture Trustee, then the
Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver to the Investor Noteholder,
in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Investor Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same Class and a
like aggregate principal amount; provided, however that the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply to Bearer Notes.

                 At the option of any Holder of Registered Notes,
Registered Notes may be exchanged for other Registered Notes of the same
Series in authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount,
upon surrender of the Registered Notes to be exchanged at any office or
agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose.
At the option of any holder of  Bearer Notes, subject to applicable laws
and regulations (including without limitation, the Bearer Rules), Bearer
Notes may be exchanged for other Bearer Notes or Registered Notes of the
same Series in authorized denominations of like aggregate principal
amount, in the manner specified in the Indenture Supplement for such
Series, upon surrender of the Bearer Notes to be exchanged at an office
or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar located outside the United
States.  Each Bearer Note surrendered pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall
have attached thereto (or be accompanied by) all unmatured Coupons,
provided that any Bearer Note so surrendered after the close of business
on the Record Date preceding the relevant Payment Date need not have
attached the Coupons relating to such Payment Date.

                 Whenever any Investor Notes of any Series are so
surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the
UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and after the Issuer has executed,
the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and (if the Transfer Agent and
Registrar is different than the Indenture Trustee, then the Transfer
Agent and Registrar shall) deliver to the Investor Noteholder, the
Investor Notes which the Investor Noteholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.

                 All Investor Notes issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of the Investor Notes shall be the valid obligations
of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Investor Notes surrendered upon
such registration of transfer or exchange.

                 Every Investor Note presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such

                                   -8-

<PAGE>

Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature
guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located, or having a
correspondent located, in The City of New York or the city in which the
Corporate Trust Office is located, or by a member firm of a national
securities exchange, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the
Indenture Trustee may require.

                 The preceding provisions of this Section 2.4
notwithstanding, the Indenture Trustee or the Transfer Agent and
Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the
transfer of or exchange any Investor Note of any Series for a period of
15 days preceding the due date for any payment in full of the Investor
Notes of such Series.

                 Unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture
Supplement, no service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Investor Notes, but the Transfer Agent and
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer
or exchange of Investor Notes.

                 All Investor Notes (together with any Coupons attached
to Bearer Notes) surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange
shall be canceled by the Transfer Agent and Registrar and disposed of in
a manner satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee
shall cancel and destroy any Global Notes upon its exchange in full for
Definitive Notes and shall deliver a certificate of destruction to the
Issuer.  Such certificate shall also state that a certificate or
certificates of each Foreign Clearing Agency was received with respect to
each portion of such Global Note exchanged for Definitive Notes in
accordance with the related Indenture Supplement.

                 The Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Indenture
Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as applicable, Bearer Notes
and Registered Notes in such amounts and at such times as are necessary
to enable the Indenture Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under
this Indenture and the Investor Notes.

                 (b)      Unless otherwise provided in the related
Indenture Supplement, registration of transfer of Registered Notes
containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such
Registered Notes (which legend shall be set forth in the Indenture
Supplement relating to such Investor Notes) shall be effected only if the
conditions set forth in such related Indenture Supplement are satisfied.

                 Section 2.5.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Notes.

                 If (a) any mutilated Investor Note (together, in the
case of Bearer Notes, with all unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining
thereto) is surrendered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the
Transfer Agent and Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Investor Note and (b) there is

                                   -9-

<PAGE>

delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Indenture Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save
each of them harmless, then provided that the requirements of Section 8-
405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and after the Issuer has
executed, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and (unless the
Transfer Agent and Registrar is different from the Indenture Trustee, in
which case the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver (in compliance
with applicable law), in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Investor Note, a new Investor Note of like
tenor and aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that if any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Investor Note, but not a mutilated Investor
Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable,
instead of issuing a replacement Investor Note, the Issuer may pay such
destroyed, lost or stolen Investor Note when so due or payable without
surrender thereof.  If, after the delivery of such replacement Investor
Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Investor Note pursuant to
the proviso to the preceding sentence, a purchaser for value of the
original Investor Note in lieu of which such replacement Investor Note
was issued presents for payment such original Investor Note, the Issuer,
the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to recover such replacement Investor Note (or such payment) from
the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement
Investor Note from such Person to whom such replacement Investor Note was
delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a purchaser for value,
and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided
therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by
the Issuer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar or the Indenture Trustee in
connection therewith.

                 In connection with the issuance of any new Investor Note
under this Section 2.5, the Indenture Trustee or the Transfer Agent and
Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee
and the Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith.  Any duplicate
Investor Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall constitute an
original contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed note shall be found at any time.

                 Section 2.6.  Appointment of Paying Agent.

                 (a)   The Indenture Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent
with respect to the Investor Notes.  The Indenture Trustee hereby
appoints Chase as the initial Paying Agent.  The Paying Agent shall have
the revocable power to withdraw funds and make distributions to Investor
Noteholders from the appropriate account or accounts maintained for the
benefit of Noteholders as specified in this Indenture or the related
Indenture Supplement for any Series pursuant to Article 5.  The Indenture
Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent, if the
Indenture Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent
shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Indenture in any
material respect or for other good cause.  The Indenture Trustee shall
notify the Rating Agency of the removal of any Paying Agent.  If any form

                                   -10-

<PAGE>

of Investor Note is issued as a Global Note, or if and so long as any
Series of Investor Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and
such exchange shall so require, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a
co-paying agent in Luxembourg or another European city.  The Paying Agent
shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice
to the Indenture Trustee.  In the event that any Paying Agent shall no
longer be the Paying Agent, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a
successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company
and may be the Indenture Trustee) with the consent of the Issuer.  The
provisions of Sections 10.01, 10.02, 10.03 and 10.06 shall apply to the
Indenture Trustee also in the capacity of Paying Agent, for so long as
the Indenture Trustee shall act as Paying Agent.  Any reference in this
Indenture to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless
the context requires otherwise.

                 (b)      The Indenture Trustee shall cause each Paying
Agent (other than itself) to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee
an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture
Trustee that such Paying Agent will:

                 (i)    hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts
         due with respect to the Investor Notes in trust for the benefit
         of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to
         such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay
         such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

                 (ii)   give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default
         by the Issuer of which it has actual knowledge in the making of
         any payment required to be made with respect to the Investor
         Notes;

                 (iii)  at any time during the continuance of any such
         default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee,
         forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust
         by such Paying Agent;

                  (iv)  immediately resign as a Paying Agent and
         forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in
         trust for the payment of the Investor Notes if at any time it
         ceases to meet the standards required to be met by the Paying
         Agent at the time of its appointment; and

                 (v)    comply with all requirements of the Code with
         respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any
         Investor Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed
         thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting
         requirements in connection therewith.

An institution succeeding to the corporate agency business of the Paying
Agent shall continue to be the Paying Agent without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Indenture
Trustee or such Paying Agent.

                 (c)      Subject to applicable laws with respect to
escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying
Agent or a Clearing Agency or a Foreign Clearing Agency in trust for the
payment of any amount due with respect to any Investor Note and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable
shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer
Request; and the Holder of such Investor Note shall thereafter, as an
unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof
(but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all
liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any
such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published
once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York
City, and London and Luxembourg (if the related Series of Investor Notes
has been listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange), if applicable, 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
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be
repaid to the Issuer.  The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ,
at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification
of such repayment.

                 Section 2.7.  Persons Deemed Owners.

                 Prior to due presentation of an Investor Note for
registration of transfer, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the
Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the
Person in whose name any Investor Note is registered as the owner of such
Investor Note for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to
Article 5 (as described in any Indenture Supplement) and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and neither the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent,
the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.

                 In the case of a Bearer Note, the Indenture Trustee, the
Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of
them may treat the holder of a Bearer Note or Coupon as the owner of such
Bearer Note or Coupon for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant
to Article 5 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the
Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar nor
any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

                 Section 2.8.  Investor Noteholder List.

                 The Indenture Trustee will furnish or cause to be
furnished by the Transfer Agent and Registrar to the Issuer or the Paying
Agent, within five Business Days after receipt by the Indenture Trustee
of a request therefor from the Issuer or the Paying Agent, respectively,
in writing, a list in such form as the Issuer or the Paying Agent may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Investor
Noteholders of each Series as of the most recent Record Date for payments

                                   -12-

<PAGE>

to such Investor Noteholders.  Unless otherwise provided in the related
Indenture Supplement, holders of Investor Notes of any Series in a
principal amount aggregating not less than 10% of the Investor Interest
of such Series (the "Applicants") may apply in writing to the Indenture
Trustee, and if such application states that the Applicants desire to
communicate with other Investor Noteholders of any Series with respect to
their rights under this Indenture or under the Investor Notes and is
accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose
to transmit, then the Indenture Trustee, after having been adequately
indemnified by such Applicants for its costs and expenses, shall afford
or shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to afford such Applicants
access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Investor
Noteholders held by the Indenture Trustee and shall give the Issuer
notice that such request has been made, within five Business Days after
the receipt of such application.  Such list shall be as of a date no more
than 45 days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants' request.
Every Investor Noteholder, by receiving and holding an Investor Note,
agrees with the Indenture Trustee that neither the Indenture Trustee, the
Transfer Agent and Registrar, nor any of their respective agents shall be
held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as
to the names and addresses of the Investor Noteholders hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was obtained.

                 The Indenture 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 Investor Noteholders of each Series of
Investor Notes.  If the Indenture Trustee is not the Registrar, the
Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee at least seven Business
Days before each Payment Date and at such other time as the Indenture
Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date
as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require of the names and
addresses of Investor Noteholders of each Series of Investor Notes.

                 Section 2.9.  Treasury Notes.

                 In determining whether the Investor Noteholders of the
required principal amount of Investor Notes have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Investor Notes owned by the Issuer or any
Affiliate of the Issuer shall be considered as though they are not
Outstanding, except that for the purpose of determining whether the
Indenture Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction,
waiver or consent, only Investor Notes of which the Indenture Trustee has
received written notice of such ownership shall be so disregarded.
Absent written notice to the Indenture Trustee of such ownership, the
Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the identity
of the individual beneficial owners of the Investor Notes.

                 Section 2.10.  Book-Entry Notes.

                 Unless otherwise provided in any related Indenture
Supplement, the Investor Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued
in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be
delivered to the depository specified in such Indenture Supplement (the

                                   -13-

<PAGE>

"Depository") which shall be the Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing
Agency, by or on behalf of such Series.  The Investor Notes of each
Series shall, unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture
Supplement, initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of
the nominee of the Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency.  No
Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive note representing such
Beneficial Owner's interest in the related Series of Investor Notes,
except as provided in Section 2.11. Unless and until definitive, fully
registered Investor Notes of any Series ("Definitive Notes") have been
issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 2.11:

                 (a)      the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be in
         full force and effect with respect to each such Series;

                 (b)      the Issuer, the Paying Agent, the Transfer
         Agent and Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the
         Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency and the
         applicable Clearing Agency Participants for all purposes
         (including the payment of principal of and interest on the
         Investor Notes and the giving of instructions or directions
         hereunder) as the sole Holder of the Investor Notes, and shall
         have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners;

                 (c)      to the extent that the provisions of this
         Section 2.10 conflict with any other provisions of this
         Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall control
         with respect to each such Series; and

                 (d)      the rights of Beneficial Owners of each such
         Series shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency or
         the Foreign Clearing Agency and the applicable Clearing Agency
         Participants and shall be limited to those established by law
         and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Clearing
         Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency
         Participants, and all references in this Indenture to actions by
         the Noteholders shall refer to actions taken by the Clearing
         Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency upon instructions from the
         Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in this
         Indenture to distributions, notices, reports and statements to
         the Noteholders shall refer to distributions, notices, reports
         and statements to the Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing
         Agency, as registered holder of the Investor Notes of such
         Series for distribution to the Beneficial Owners in accordance
         with the procedures of the Clearing Agency.  Pursuant to the
         Depository Agreement applicable to a Series, unless and until
         Definitive Notes of such Series are issued pursuant to Section
         2.11, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers
         among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit
         distributions of principal and interest on the Investor Notes to
         such Clearing Agency Participants.

                 Section 2.11.  Definitive Notes.

                 If (i) (A) the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee in
writing that the Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency is no
longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under
the applicable Depository Agreement, and (B) the Indenture Trustee or the
Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Issuer, at its
option, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or the
Foreign Clearing Agency with respect to any Series or (iii) after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficial Owners of a Majority in
Interest of a Series of Investor Notes advise the Indenture Trustee and
the applicable Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency through the
applicable Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation
of a book-entry system through the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign
Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of such Beneficial
Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall notify all Beneficial Owners of such
Series, through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes
to Beneficial Owners of such Series requesting the same.  Upon surrender
to the Indenture Trustee of the Investor Notes of such Series by the
applicable Clearing Agency or the Foreign Clearing Agency, accompanied by
registration instructions from the applicable Clearing Agency or the
applicable Foreign Clearing Agency for registration, the Issuer shall
execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and (if the Transfer
Agent and Registrar is different than the Indenture Trustee, then the
Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver the Definitive Notes in
accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.  Neither the
Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions.  Upon the issuance of
Definitive Notes of such Series all references herein to obligations
imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Clearing Agency or
Foreign Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed
by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders
of the Definitive Notes of such Series as Noteholders of such Series
hereunder.

                 Section 2.12.  Global Note.

                 If specified in the related Indenture Supplement for any
Series, the Investor Notes may be initially issued in the form of a
single temporary Global Note (the "Global Note") in bearer form, without
interest coupons, in the denomination of the Initial Invested Amount and
substantially in the form attached to the related Indenture Supplement.
Unless otherwise specified in the related Indenture Supplement, the
provisions of this Section 2.12 shall apply to such Global Note.  The
Global Note will be authenticated by the Indenture Trustee upon the same
conditions, in substantially the same manner and with the same effect as
the Definitive Notes.  The Global Note may be exchanged in the manner
described in the related Indenture Supplement for Registered or Bearer
Notes in definitive form.

                 Section 2.13.  Principal and Interest.

                 (a)      The principal of each Series of Investor Notes
shall be payable at the times and in the amount set forth in the related
Indenture Supplement and in accordance with Section 6.1.

                 (b)      Each Series of Investor Notes shall accrue
interest as provided in the related Indenture Supplement and such
interest shall be payable on each Payment Date for such Series in
accordance with Section 6.1 and the related Indenture Supplement.

                 (c)      Except as provided in the following sentence,
the Person in whose name any Investor Note is registered at the close of
business on any Record Date with respect to a Payment Date for such
Investor Note shall be entitled to receive the principal and interest
payable on such Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such
Investor Note upon any registration of transfer, exchange or substitution
of such Investor Note subsequent to such Record Date.  Any interest
payable at maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom the principal of
such Investor Note is payable.

                 (d)      If the Issuer defaults in the payment of
interest on the Investor Notes of any Series, such interest, to the
extent paid on any date that is more than five (5) Business Days after
the applicable due date, shall, at the option of the Issuer, cease to be
payable to the Persons who were Investor Noteholders of such Series at
the applicable Record Date and the Issuer 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 Investor
Noteholders of such Series on a subsequent special record date which date
shall be at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment date, at
the rate provided in this Indenture and in the Investor Notes of such
Series.  The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special
record date and payment date, and at least 15 days before the special
record date, the Issuer (or the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and at
the expense of the Issuer) shall mail to Investor Noteholders of such
Series a notice that states the special record date, the related payment
date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

                 Section 2.14.  Tax Treatment.

                 The Issuer has structured this Indenture and the
Investor Notes have been (or will be) issued with the intention that the
Investor Notes will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of
the Issuer and any entity acquiring any direct or indirect interest in
any Investor Note by acceptance of its Investor Notes (or, in the case of
a Beneficial Owner, by virtue of such Beneficial Owner's acquisition of a
beneficial interest therein) agrees to treat the Investor Notes (or
beneficial interests therein) for purposes of Federal, state and local
and income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on or measured by
income, as indebtedness of the Issuer.  Each Investor Noteholder agrees
that it will cause any Beneficial Owner's acquiring an interest in an

                                   -16-

Investor Note through it to comply with this Indenture as to treatment as
indebtedness for such tax purposes.

hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Investor
Noteholders, a security interest in, all of the Issuer's right, title and

                 (b)      The foregoing grant is made in trust to secure
the Issuer Obligations and to secure compliance with the provisions of
this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement, all as provided in this
Indenture.  The Indenture Trustee, as Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Investor Noteholders, acknowledges such grant, accepts the trusts under
this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and
subject to Section 10.1 and 10.2, agrees to perform its duties required
in this Indenture to the best of its abilities to the end that the
interests of the Investor Noteholders may be adequately and effectively
protected.  The Collateral shall secure the Investor Notes equally and
ratably without prejudice, priority (except, with respect to any Series
of Investor Notes, as otherwise stated in the applicable Indenture
Supplement) or distinction.

                 Section 3.2.  Transaction Documents.

                 Upon the occurrence of a default or breach by any Person
party to a Transaction Document, promptly following a request from the
Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Issuer's expense, the Issuer agrees
to take all such lawful action as permitted under this Indenture as the
Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and
observance by SPV, the Servicer, the Administrator, VMS or PHH Consumer
Lease or any other party to any of the Transaction Documents of its
obligations thereunder, in each case in accordance with the applicable
terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and
privileges lawfully available to the Issuer to the extent and in the
manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including, without limitation,
the transmission of notices of default and the institution of legal or
administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by
each of SPV, the Servicer, the Administrator, VMS or PHH Consumer Lease
(or such other party to any Transaction Document), of their respective
obligations thereunder.  If (i) the Issuer shall have failed, within 30
days of receiving the direction of the Indenture Trustee, to take
commercially reasonable action to accomplish such directions of the
Indenture, (ii) the Issuer refuses to take any such action, or (iii) the
Indenture Trustee reasonably determines that such action must be taken
immediately, the Indenture Trustee may take such previously directed
action and any related action permitted under this Indenture which the
Indenture Trustee thereafter determines is appropriate (without the need
under this provision or any other provision under the Indenture to direct
the Issuer to take such action), on behalf of the Issuer and the Investor
Noteholders.

                 Section 3.3.  Release of Issuer Assets.

                 (a)      The Indenture Trustee shall when required by the
provisions of this Indenture execute instruments to release property from

the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent

inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the
application of any moneys.

                 (b)      The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there
are no Investor Notes Outstanding, release any remaining portion of the
Issuer Assets that secured the Investor Notes from the lien of this
Indenture and release to the Issuer any funds then on deposit in the
Issuer Accounts. The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the
lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) only upon receipt
of an Issuer Order accompanied by an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of
Counsel and (if this Indenture is qualified under the TIA and the TIA so

Section 3.2(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and
the Indenture Trustee may also require as a condition of such action, an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps
required to complete the same, and concluding that all such action will
not materially and adversely impair the security for the Investor Notes
or the rights of the Noteholders; provided, however that such Opinion of
Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value
of the Issuer Assets.  Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely,
without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any
certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in
connection with any such action.

                 Section 3.5.  Stamp, Other Similar Taxes and Filing
Fees.

Indenture Trustee and each Investor Noteholder from any present or future
claim for liability for any stamp or other similar tax and any penalties
or interest with respect thereto, that may be assessed, levied or
collected by any jurisdiction in connection with this Indenture or any
Collateral.  The Issuer shall pay, or reimburse the Indenture Trustee
for, any and all amounts in respect of, all search, filing, recording and
registration fees, taxes, excise taxes and other similar imposts that may
be payable or determined to be payable in respect of the execution,
delivery, performance and/or enforcement of this Indenture.

                ALLOCATION AND APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS

                 Section 5.1.  Collection Account.

                 (a)      Establishment of Collection Account.  The
Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain in the name of the
Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, an Eligible
Deposit Account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders
(the "Collection Account").  If at any time the Indenture Trustee obtains
knowledge that the Collection Account is no longer an Eligible Deposit
Account,  the Indenture Trustee shall, within 30 days of obtaining such
knowledge, establish a new Collection Account that is an Eligible Deposit
Account and transfer into the new Collection Account all cash and
investments from the non-qualifying Collection Account.  Initially, the
Collection Account will be established with Chase.  The Indenture Trustee
shall possess all right, title and interest in all moneys, instruments,
securities and other property on deposit from time to time in the
Collection Account and the proceeds thereof for the benefit of the
Noteholders.  The Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

                 (b)      Series Accounts.  If so provided in the related
Indenture Supplement, the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the

                                   -23-

<PAGE>

Investor Noteholders, shall cause to be established and maintained, one
or more Series Accounts and/or administrative sub-accounts of the
Collection Account to facilitate the proper allocation of Collections in
accordance with the terms of such Indenture Supplement.  Each such Series
Account shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Investor Noteholders of
such Series.  Each such Series Account will be an Eligible Deposit
Account, if so provided in the related Indenture Supplement and will have
the other features and be applied as set forth in the related Indenture
Supplement.

                 (c)      Administration of the Collection Account.  The
Issuer shall instruct the institution maintaining the Collection Account
in writing to invest the funds on deposit in the Collection Account in
Permitted Investments.  Any such investment shall mature and such funds
shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to the Transfer Date
related to the Monthly Period in which such funds were processed for
collection, or if so specified in the related Indenture Supplement, on
the immediately succeeding Payment Date.  All such Permitted Investments
will be credited to the Collection Account and any such Permitted
Investments that constitute (i) Physical Property (and that is not either
a United States Security Entitlement or a Security Entitlement) shall be
delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (a) of
the definition of "Delivery" and shall be held by the Indenture Trustee
pending maturity or disposition; (ii) United States Security Entitlements
or Security Entitlements shall be Controlled by the Indenture Trustee
pending maturity or disposition; and (iii) Uncertificated Securities (and
not United States Security Entitlements) shall be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition of
"Delivery" and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee pending
maturity or disposition. The Indenture Trustee shall take such action as
is required to maintain the Indenture Trustee's security interest in the
Permitted Investments credited to the Collection Account.  In the absence
of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the
Collection Account shall remain uninvested. Neither the Issuer nor the
Indenture Trustee shall dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any
Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such
disposal would result in a loss of principal of such Permitted
Investment.

                 Section 5.2.  Gain on Sale Account.

                 (a)      Establishment of Gain on Sale Account. The
Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain in the name of the
Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, an Eligible
Deposit Account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders
(the "Gain on Sale Account").  If at any time the Indenture Trustee
obtains knowledge that the Gain on Sale Account is no longer an Eligible
Deposit Account,  the Indenture Trustee shall, within 30 days of
obtaining such knowledge, establish a new Gain on Sale Account that is an
Eligible Deposit Account and transfer into the new Gain on Sale Account
all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Gain on Sale Account.

                                   -24-

<PAGE>

Initially, the Gain on Sale Account will be established with Chase.  The
Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all
moneys, instruments, securities and other property on deposit from time
to time in the Gain on Sale Account and the proceeds thereof for the
benefit of the Noteholders.  The Gain on Sale Account shall be under the
sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders.

                 (b)      Investment of Funds in the Gain on Sale
Account.  The Issuer shall instruct the institution maintaining the Gain
on Sale Account in writing to invest the funds on deposit in the Gain on
Sale Account in Permitted Investments.  Any such investment shall mature
and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to each
Transfer Date.  All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the
Gain on Sale Account and any such Permitted Investments that constitute
(i) Physical Property (and that is not either a United States Security
Entitlement or a Security Entitlement) shall be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (a) of the definition of
"Delivery" and shall be held by the Indenture Trustee pending maturity or
disposition; (ii) United States Security Entitlements or Security
Entitlements shall be Controlled by the Indenture Trustee pending
maturity or disposition; and (iii) Uncertificated Securities (and not
United States Security Entitlements) shall be delivered to the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition of "Delivery"
and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee pending maturity or
disposition. The Indenture Trustee shall take such action as is required
to maintain the Indenture Trustee's security interest in the Permitted
Investments credited to the Gain on Sale Account.  In the absence of
written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Gain
on Sale Account shall remain uninvested. Neither the Issuer nor the
Indenture Trustee shall dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any
Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such
disposal would result in a loss of principal of such Permitted
Investment.

                 (c)      Earnings from Gain on Sale Account.  All
interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on
funds on deposit in the Gain on Sale Account shall be deemed to be
available and on deposit for distribution.

                 (d)      Deposits to Gain on Sale Account.  Amounts will
be deposited in the Gain on Sale Account in accordance with this Article
5, as modified by any Indenture Supplement.

                 (e)      Withdrawals from Gain on Sale Account.  No
later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Transfer Date, the
Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to withdraw from the
Gain on Sale Account an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Monthly
Residual Value Loss for the immediately preceding Monthly Period and (y)
the amount then on deposit in the Gain on Sale Account and deposit such
amount into the Collection Account for allocation in accordance with
Article 5, as modified by any Indenture Supplement.  On any Transfer Date
on which the amount on deposit in the Gain on Sale Account (after giving

                                   -25-

<PAGE>

effect to any withdrawals therefrom pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence) is greater than an amount equal to the Applicable Gain on Sale
Account Percentage of the sum of the aggregate Lease Balance of each
Eligible Lease that is a Closed-End Lease allocated to the Lease SUBI as
of last day of the Monthly Period immediately preceding such Transfer
Date and the Aggregate Residual Value Amount as of such date, the Issuer
shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to withdraw such excess
from the Gain on Sale Account and deposit it in the Issuer General
Account.

                 Section 5.3.  Collection of Money.

                 Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indenture
Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect,
directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or
other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or receivable
by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture.  The Indenture
Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this
Indenture.  Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, if any
default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any
agreement or instrument that is part of the Issuer Assets, the Indenture
Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such
payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of
appropriate proceedings.  Any such action shall be without prejudice to
any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and
any right to proceeds thereafter as provided in Article 9.

                 Section 5.4.  Collections and Allocations.

                 (a)      Collections in General.  Until this Indenture
is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1, the Issuer shall, and the
Indenture Trustee is authorized to, cause all Collections due and to
become due to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be,
under or in connection with the Collateral to be paid directly to the
Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Collection Account.  The Issuer
agrees that if any Collections shall be received by the Issuer in an
account other than the Collection Account, such monies, instruments, cash
and other proceeds will not be commingled by the Issuer with any of its
other funds or property, if any, but will be held separate and apart
therefrom and shall be held in trust by the Issuer for, and immediately
remitted to, the Indenture Trustee, with any necessary endorsement.  All
monies, instruments, cash and other proceeds received by the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall be in immediately available
funds and shall be immediately deposited in the Collection Account and
shall be applied as provided in this Article 5.

                 (b)      Allocations for Investor Noteholders.  On each
Deposit Date, the Issuer shall allocate Collections deposited into the
Collection Account in accordance with this Article 5 and shall instruct
the Indenture Trustee to withdraw the required amounts from the
Collection Account and make the required deposits in any Series Account
in accordance with this Article 5, as modified by any Indenture
Supplement.  The Issuer shall make such deposits or payments on the date

                                   -26-

<PAGE>

indicated therein in immediately available funds or as otherwise provided
in the Indenture Supplement for any Series with respect to such Series.
The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, has agreed to furnish to the
Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, written
instructions to make the aforementioned withdrawals and payments from the
Collection Account and any Issuer Accounts specified herein or in an
Indenture Supplement.  The Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent shall
promptly follow any such written instructions.

                 (c)      Sharing Collections.  In the manner described
in the related Indenture Supplement, to the extent that Collections that
are allocated to any Series on a Deposit Date are not needed to make
payments to Investor Noteholders of such Series or required to be
deposited in a Series Account for such Series on such Deposit Date, such
Collections may, at the direction of the Issuer, be applied to cover
principal payments due to or for the benefit of Investor Noteholders of
another Series.  Any such reallocation will not result in a reduction in
the Invested Amount of the Series to which such Collections were
initially allocated.

                 (d)      Allocations After Certain Events of Default.
After each Outstanding Series of Investor Notes shall have been declared
to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2 as a result of
the occurrence of an Event of Default defined in clause (a) or (b) of
Section 9.1, to the extent that Collections that are allocated to any
Series of Investor Notes on a Settlement Date are not needed to make
payments of principal of, or interest on, the Investor Notes of such
Series, such Collections shall be applied to cover principal payments due
on the Investor Notes of all other Series then Outstanding on a pro rata
basis based on the Invested Percentages of such other Series of Investor
Notes.

(ii) in the event that on any date of determination the amount available
to make payments to the Investor Noteholders of a Series is not
sufficient to pay all sums required to be paid to such Investor
Noteholders on such date, then each class of Investor Noteholders will
receive its ratable share (based upon the aggregate amount due to such
class of Investor Noteholders) of the aggregate amount available to be
distributed in respect of the Investor Notes of such Series.

                 Section 6.2.  Optional Repurchase of Investor Notes.

                 On any Payment Date occurring on or after the date on

to or less than the Repurchase Amount (if any) for such Series or class
set forth in the Indenture Supplement related to such Series, or at such
other time otherwise provided for in the Indenture Supplement relating to
such Series, the Issuer shall have the option to purchase all Outstanding
Investor Notes of such Series, or class of such Series, at a purchase
price (determined after giving effect to any payment of principal and
interest on such Payment Date) equal to (unless otherwise specified in
the related Indenture Supplement) the Invested Amount of such Series on
such Payment Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid
principal balance of the Investor Notes of such Series (calculated at the
Investor Note Rate of such Series) through the day immediately prior to
the date of such purchase plus, if provided for in the related Indenture
Supplement, any premium payable at such time.  The Issuer shall give the
Indenture Trustee at least 30 days' prior written notice of the date on
which the Issuer intends to exercise such option to purchase.  Not later
than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Payment Date, an amount of
the purchase price equal to the Invested Amount of all Investor Notes of
such Series on such Payment Date and the amount of accrued and unpaid
interest with respect to such Investor Notes and any applicable premium

immediately available funds.  The funds deposited into such Series
Account or distributed to the Paying Agent will be passed through in full
to the Investor Noteholders on such Payment Date.

                 Section 9.1.  Events of Default.

                 "Event of Default", wherever used herein, with respect
to any Series of Investor Notes, means any one of the following events
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant
to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or
regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

                 (a)      default in the payment of any interest on any
         Investor Note of any Series when the same becomes due and
         payable, and such default shall continue for a period of five
         Business Days;

                 (b)      default in the payment of the principal of any
         Investor Note of any Series on the Series Termination Date with

                                   -41-

<PAGE>

         (other than a covenant or agreement, a default in the observance
         or performance of which is elsewhere in this Section
         specifically dealt with) which default materially and adversely
         affects the rights of the Investor Noteholders of such Series,
         and which default shall continue or not be cured for a period of
         30 days (or for such longer period, not in excess of 60 days, as
         may be reasonably necessary to remedy such default; provided
         that such default is capable of remedy within 60 days or less
         and the Issuer delivers an Officer's Certificate to the
         Indenture Trustee to the effect that the Issuer has commenced,
         or will promptly commence and diligently pursue, all reasonable
         efforts to remedy such default) after there shall have been
         given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the
         Indenture Trustee or to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by
         Investor Noteholders of such Series holding Investor Notes
         evidencing at least 25% of the Invested Amount of each Class of
         Investor Notes of such Series, a written notice specifying such
         default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such
         notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder;

                 (d)      the Issuer at any time receives a final
         determination that it will be treated as an association taxable
         as a corporation for federal income tax purposes;

                 (e)      the Securities and Exchange Commission or other
         regulatory body having jurisdiction reaches a final
         determination that the Issuer is an "investment company" within
         the meaning of the Investment Company Act; or

                 (f)      an Insolvency Event shall have occurred with
         respect to the Issuer.

                 Section 9.2.  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and
Annulment.

                 If an Event of Default referred to in clause (f) of
Section 9.2 has occurred, the unpaid principal amount of all Series of
Investor Notes, together with interest accrued but unpaid thereon, and
all other amounts due to the Investor Noteholders under this Indenture,
shall immediately and without further act become due and payable.  If an
Event of Default referred to in clause (a),  (b), (d) or (e) of Section
9.1 has occurred, then the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of a Majority
in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes may declare all
of the Investor Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in
writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the
Investor Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal
amount of the Investor Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due
and payable. If an Event of Default referred to in clause (c) of Section
9.1 shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Series of Investor
Notes, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or Holders of a
Majority in Interest of such Series of Investor Notes may declare all the
Investor Notes of such Series to be immediately due and payable, by a

                                   -42-

<PAGE>

notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by
the Investor Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid
principal amount of such Investor Notes, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become
immediately due and payable.

                 At any time after such declaration of acceleration of
maturity has been made with respect to the Investor Notes (or a
particular Series of Investor Notes) and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article 9, provided, the Holders of a Majority in
Interest of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes (or, in the case of
the acceleration of a particular Series of Investor Notes, the Holders of
a Majority in Interest of the Investor Notes of such Series), by written
notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul
such declaration and its consequences; provided, that, no such rescission
shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent
thereto.

                 Section 9.3.  Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for
Enforcement by the Indenture Trustee.

                 (a)      The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in
the payment of any interest on any Investor Note when the same becomes
due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five Business
Days or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of any
Investor Note when the same becomes due and payable, by acceleration or
at stated maturity, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture
Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Investor
Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Investor Notes for
principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and, to
the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable,
upon overdue installments of interest, at the Note Rate borne by the
Investor Notes, and in addition thereto 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
Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

                 (b)      In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay
such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and
as trustee of an express trust, may institute a proceeding for the
collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such
proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against
the Issuer or other obligor upon such Investor Notes and collect in the
manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor
upon such Investor Notes, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or
decreed to be payable.

                 (c)      If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 9.4,
in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Investor Noteholders, by such appropriate proceedings as
the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce

                                   -43-

<PAGE>

any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or
equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by
law.

                 (d)      In case there shall be pending, relative to the
Issuer or any other obligor upon the Investor Notes or any Person having
or claiming an ownership interest in the Issuer Assets, proceedings under
the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or
trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or
similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the
Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in the case of
any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other
obligor upon the Investor Notes, or to the creditors or property of the
Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of
whether the principal of any Investor Notes shall then be due and payable
as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

                 (i)      to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole
         amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of
         the Investor Notes and to file such other papers or documents as
         may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
         Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable
         compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor
         Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and
         counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities
         incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and
         each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of
         negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Investor
         Noteholders allowed in such proceedings;

                 (ii)      unless prohibited by applicable law and
         regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Investor
         Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or person
         performing similar functions in any such proceedings;

                 (iii)      to collect and receive any moneys or other
         property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
         distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of
         the Investor Noteholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their
         behalf; and

                 (iv)      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 Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Investor
         Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the
         Issuer, its creditors and its property;

                                   -44-

<PAGE>

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar
official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such
Investor Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in
the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of
payments directly to such Investor Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture
Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee
and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other
expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the
Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a
result of negligence or bad faith.

                 (e)      Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Investor Noteholder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Investor Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the
Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Investor
Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

                 (f)      All rights of action and of asserting claims
under this Indenture, or under any of the Investor Notes, may be enforced
by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Investor
Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings
relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the
Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an
express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of
the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee,
each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and
attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Investor Notes.

                 (g)      In any proceedings brought by the Indenture
Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any
provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a
party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders
of the Investor Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Investor
Noteholder a party to any such proceedings.

                 Section 9.4.  Remedies; Priorities.

                 (a)      If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to any Series of Outstanding Investor Notes and
such Series of Investor Notes has been accelerated under Section 9.4, the
Indenture Trustee may institute proceedings to enforce the obligations of
the Issuer hereunder in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Investor Notes of
such Series or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by
declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from
the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Investor Notes moneys adjudged
due.

                                   -45-

<PAGE>

                 (b)      If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to all Series of Outstanding Investor Notes and
all Series of Outstanding Investor Notes have been accelerated under
Section 9.2, the Indenture Trustee (subject to Section 9.5) may do one or
more of the following:

                 (i)      institute proceedings from time to time for the
         complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect
         to the Issuer Assets;

                 (ii)     exercise any remedies of a secured party under
         the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and
         enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the
         Holders of the Investor Notes; and

                 (iii)    in the case of an Event of Default referred to
         in clause (a) or (b) of Section 9.1, sell the Issuer Assets or
         any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or
         more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner
         permitted by law;

provided that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate
the Issuer Assets following an Event of Default referred to in clause (a)
or (b) of Section 9.1, unless (A) the Holders of Investor Notes
representing 100% of the Aggregate Invested Amount consent thereto, (B)
the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Investor
Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and
unpaid upon the Investor Notes for principal and interest, or (C) (1) the
Indenture Trustee determines that the Issuer Assets will not continue to
provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on
the Investor Notes as they would have become due if the Investor Notes
had not been declared due and payable and (2) the Indenture Trustee
obtains the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Holders of each
Series of Outstanding Investor Notes.  In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee
may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent
investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the
feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Issuer Assets for such purpose.

                 (c)      If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or
property pursuant to this Article 9, such money or property shall be held
by the Indenture Trustee as additional collateral hereunder and the
Indenture Trustee shall pay out such money or property in the following
order:

                 FIRST:  to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under
         Section 10.6; and

                 SECOND:  to the Collection Account for distribution in
         accordance with the provisions of Article 5.

                 Section 9.5.  Optional Preservation of the Issuer
Assets.

                 If the Investor Notes of each Series Outstanding have
been declared to be due and payable under Section 9.2 following an Event
of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been
rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to
maintain possession of the Issuer Assets.  It is the desire of the
parties hereto and the Investor Noteholders that there be at all times
sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Investor Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into
account when determining whether to maintain possession of the Issuer
Assets.  In determining whether to maintain possession of the Issuer
Assets, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an
opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of
national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as
to the sufficiency of the Issuer Assets for such purpose.  Nothing
contained in this Section 9.5 shall be construed to require the Indenture
Trustee to preserve the Issuer Assets securing the Issuer Obligations if
prohibited by applicable law or if the Indenture Trustee is authorized,
directed or permitted to liquidate the Issuer Assets pursuant to Section
9.4(b).

                 Section 9.6.  Performance and Enforcement of Certain
Obligations.

                 (a)      Promptly following a request from the Indenture
Trustee to do so and at the Administrator's expense, the Issuer agrees to
take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to
compel or secure the performance and observance by SPV, the Origination
Trust and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their respective
obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Transfer
Agreement and the Origination Trust Documents, respectively, in
accordance with their respective terms, and to exercise any and all
rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer
under or in connection with the Transaction Documents to the extent and
in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the
transmission of notices of default on the part of SPV, the Origination
Trust or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or
administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by
SPV, the Origination Trust or the Servicer of each of their respective
obligations thereunder.

                 (b)      If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing with respect to any Series of Outstanding Investor Notes, the
Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in
writing) of the Holders of a Majority in Interest of such Series of
Outstanding Investor Notes (or, if an Event of Default with respect to
more than one Series of Investor Notes has occurred, a Majority in
Interest of each Series of Investor Notes with respect to which an Event
of Default shall have occurred) shall exercise all rights, remedies,
powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against SPV, the Origination
Trust or the Servicer under or in connection with the Transfer Agreement

                                   -47-

and the Origination Trust Documents, including the right or power to take
any action to compel or secure performance or observance by SPV, the
Origination Trust or the Servicer of each of their respective obligations
to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice,
direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Transfer Agreement and
the Origination Trust Documents, and any right of the Issuer to take such
action shall be suspended; provided that, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing with respect to less than all Series of
Outstanding Investor Notes, the Indenture Trustee may not take any action
hereunder that is detrimental to the rights of the Holders of the
Investor Notes with respect to which no Event of Default shall have
occurred.

                 Section 9.7.  Limitation on Suits.

                 No Holder of any Investor Note shall have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless:

                 (a)      such Holder has previously given written notice to
         the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

                 (b)      Holders of each Series of Outstanding Investor
         Notes holding Investor Notes evidencing at least 25% of each
         Class of Investor Notes of such Series have made written request
         to the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in respect
         of such Event of Default in its own name as the Indenture
         Trustee hereunder;

                 (c)      such Holder or Holders have offered to the
         Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
         against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
         complying with such request;

                 (d)      the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt
         of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to
         institute such proceedings; and

                 (e)      no direction inconsistent with such written request
         has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day
         period by the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series
         of Outstanding Investor Notes;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of the
Investor Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of,
or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of any other Holders of the Investor Notes or to
obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders
or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein
provided.

                                   -48-

<PAGE>

                 In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive
conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more
groups of Holders of  Investor Notes, each representing less than a
Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes, the
Indenture Trustee shall act at the direction of the group of Holders of
Investor Notes with the greater amount of Investor Notes, however, should
the Indenture Trustee receive conflicting or inconsistent requests on
indemnity from two or more groups of Holders with an equal amount of
Investor Notes the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine
what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Indenture.

                 Section 9.8.  Unconditional Rights of Investor
Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.

                 Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture,
the Holder of any Investor Note shall have the right, which is absolute
and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest,
if any, on such Investor Note on or after the respective due dates thereof
expressed in such Investor Note or in this Indenture and to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be
impaired without the consent of such Holder.

                 Section 9.9.  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

                 If the Indenture Trustee or any Investor Noteholder has
instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this
Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to
such Investor Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Investor Noteholders shall, subject to any
determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively
to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Investor Noteholders shall
continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

                 Section 9.10.  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

                 No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
the Indenture Trustee or to the Investor Noteholders is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every
other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right
or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

                 Section 9.11.  Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.

                 No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any
Holder of any Investor Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon
any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article 9 or

                                   -49-

<PAGE>

by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Investor Noteholders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by
the Indenture Trustee or by the  Investor Noteholders, as the case may
be.

                 Section 9.12.  Control by Investor Noteholders.

                 The Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of
Outstanding Investor Notes shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Investor Notes or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that

                 (a)      such direction shall not be in conflict with any
         rule of law or with this Indenture;

                 (b)      if an Event of Default is with respect to less than
         all Series of Outstanding Investor Notes, then the Indenture
         Trustee's rights and remedies shall be limited to the rights and
         remedies pertaining only to those Series of Investor Notes with
         respect to which such Event of Default has occurred and the
         Indenture Trustee shall exercise such rights and remedies at the
         direction of the Holders of a Majority in Interest of all such
         Series of Investor Notes;

                 (c)      subject to the express terms of Section 9.4, any
         direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the
         Issuer Assets shall be by the Holders of Investor Notes
         representing not less than 100% of the Aggregate Invested
         Amount;

                 (d)      if the conditions set forth in Section 9.5 have
         been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the
         Issuer Assets pursuant to such Section, then any direction to
         the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Investor Notes representing
         less than 100% of the Aggregate Invested Amount to sell or
         liquidate the Issuer Assets shall be of no force and effect;

                 (e)      the Indenture Trustee may take any other action
         deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent
         with such direction; and

                 (f)      such direction shall be in writing;

provided, further, that, subject to Section 10.1, the Indenture Trustee
need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability
or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Investor
Noteholders not consenting to such action.

                 Section 9.13.  Waiver of Past Defaults.

                 Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the
maturity of the Investor Notes of any Series as provided in Section 9.2,
the Holders of the Investor Notes of not less than a Majority in Interest
of such Series of Outstanding Investor Notes may, on behalf of all such
Holders, waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences
except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the
Investor Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Investor Note.  In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Holders of the Investor Notes of such Outstanding Series
shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder,
respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

                 Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist
and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not
to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereto.  The Issuer shall give prompt
written notice of any waiver to the Rating Agencies.

                 Section 9.14.  Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to
this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Investor Note by such
Holder's acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any
court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the
Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as the
Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such Proceeding of
an undertaking to pay the costs of such Proceeding, and that such court
may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such Proceeding, having
due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply
to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit
instituted by any Investor Noteholder or group of Investor Noteholders,
in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Invested
Amount of any Series of Investor Notes, or (c) any suit instituted by any
Investor Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or
interest on any Investor Note on or after the respective due dates
expressed in such Investor Note and in this Indenture.

                 Section 9.15.  Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

                                   -51-

<PAGE>

waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

                 Section 9.16.  Action on Investor Notes.

                 The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover
judgment on the Investor Notes or under this Indenture shall not be
affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief
under or with respect to this Indenture.  Neither the lien of this
Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the
Investor Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by
the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution
under such judgment upon any portion of the Issuer Assets or upon any of
the assets of the Issuer.

                               ARTICLE 10.

                          THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

                 Section 10.1.  Duties of the Indenture Trustee.

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

                 (b)      The Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents,
orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee which are
specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, shall examine them
to determine whether they substantially conform to the requirements of
this Indenture or such other Transaction Document, as the case may be;
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible
for the content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion,
report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Servicer,
the Administrator or the Issuer hereunder.

                 (c)      Subject to subsection 10.1(a), no provision of
this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act
or its own bad faith or wilful misconduct; provided, however, that:

                 (i)      the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for an
         error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of
         the Indenture Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the
         Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
         facts nor shall the Indenture Trustee be liable with respect to
         any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance

                                   -52-

<PAGE>

         with this Indenture or in accordance with a direction received
         by it pursuant to Section 9.12;

                 (ii)     the Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with
         knowledge of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer
         of the Indenture Trustee obtains actual knowledge thereof or
         receives written notice thereof;

                 (iii)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with
         knowledge of any failure by any Person to comply with its
         obligations under the Transaction Documents unless a Responsible
         Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtains actual knowledge of
         such failure or receives written notice thereof;

                 (iv)     prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event
         or an Event of Default, and after the curing of all such
         Amortization Events or Events of Default which may have
         occurred, the duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee
         shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
         Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated to perform
         only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth
         in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall
         be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee;

                 (v)      anything in this Indenture to the contrary
         notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be
         liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of
         any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits),
         even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood
         of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and

                 (vi)     subject to the other provisions of this Indenture
         and without limiting the generality of this Section 10.01, the
         Indenture Trustee shall have no duty (A) to record, file, or
         deposit this Indenture, the Transaction Documents or any
         agreement referred to herein or therein or any financing
         statement or continuation statement evidencing a security
         interest, or to maintain any such recording or filing or
         depositing or to rerecord, refile, or redeposit any thereof, (B)
         to insure the Issuer Assets and (C) to pay or discharge any tax,
         assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or
         encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to assessed or levied
         against, any part of the Collateral other than from funds
         available in the Collection Account.

                 (d)      The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in
the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any
of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that
the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions
contained in this Indenture shall in any event require the Indenture
Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of,

                                   -53-

<PAGE>

any of the obligations of any Person under any of the Transaction
Documents.

                 (e)      Except for actions expressly authorized by this
Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely
to impair the security interests created hereunder in any of the Issuer
Assets now existing or hereafter created or to impair the value of any of
the Issuer Assets now existing or hereafter created.

                 (f)      In the event that the Paying Agent or the
Transfer Agent and Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation, duty
or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the
Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be,
under this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated promptly
to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.

                 Section 10.2.  Rights of the Indenture Trustee.

                 Except as otherwise provided by Section 10.1:

                 (a)      The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and
         shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting
         based upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have
         been signed by or presented by the proper person.

                 (b)      The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel
         of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any
         Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
         protection from liability in respect of any action taken,
         suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
         reliance thereon.

                 (c)      The Indenture Trustee may act through agents,
         custodians and nominees and shall not be liable for any
         misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision
         of, any such agent, custodian or nominee so long as such agent,
         custodian or nominee is appointed with due care.

                 (d)      The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for
         any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it
         believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers
         conferred upon it by the Indenture; provided, that the Indenture
         Trustee's conduct does not constitute wilful misconduct,
         negligence or bad faith.
 .
                 (e)      Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
         and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have
         occurred, the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to
         institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in
         relation hereto and shall not be bound to make any investigation
         into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
         statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         consent, order, approval, bond, or other paper or document,

                                   -54-

<PAGE>

         unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of the Investor
         Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Invested Amount of any
         Series of Investor Notes; provided, however, that if the payment
         within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs,
         expenses, or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in
         instituting, conducting or defending any litigation hereunder or
         in relation hereto or in the making of such investigation shall
         be, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably
         assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it
         by the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may
         require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense, or
         liability or payment of such expenses as a condition precedent
         to so proceeding.  The reasonable expense of every such
         examination shall be paid by the Issuer or by the Administrator
         at the direction of the Issuer or, if paid by the Indenture
         Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Issuer or by the
         Administrator at the direction of the Issuer upon demand.

                 (f)      The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for
         any losses or liquidation penalties in connection with Permitted
         Investments, unless such losses or liquidation penalties were
         incurred through the Indenture Trustee's own willful misconduct,
         negligence or bad faith.

                 (g)      The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for
         the acts or omissions of any successor to the Indenture Trustee
         so long as such acts or omissions were not the result of the
         negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Chase.

                 (h)      The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform
         any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be
         construed as a duty, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be
         answerable for other than its negligence or wilful misconduct in
         the performance of such act.

                 (i)      The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to
         give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the Trust
         created hereby or the powers granted hereunder.

                 The Indenture Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the recitals contained herein and in the Investor Notes

representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of
the Investor Notes (other than the certificate of authentication on the
Investor Notes) or of any of the Issuer Assets.  The Indenture Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any
of the Investor Notes or of the proceeds of such Investor Notes, or for
the use or application of any funds paid to the Issuer in respect of the
Issuer Assets.

                 The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Investor Notes with the same
rights as it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee.

                 Section 10.5.  Notice of Defaults.

                 If a Default or an Event of Default or a Potential
Amortization Event or an Amortization Event occurs and is continuing and
if it is either actually known or written notice of the existence thereof
has been delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice thereof within 45
days after such knowledge or notice occurs.  Except in the case of a
Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 313(c) of the TIA in
payment of principal of or interest on any Investor Note (including
payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Investor
Note), the Indenture 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 interest of the Investor Noteholders.

                 Section 10.6.  Compensation.

                 The Issuer shall cause the Administrator pursuant to the
Administration Agreement to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services.  The Indenture Trustee's
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee
of an express trust.  The Issuer shall cause the Administrator pursuant
to the Administration Agreement to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including
costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services.
Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel,
accountants and experts.  The Issuer shall cause the Administrator
pursuant to the Administration Agreement to indemnify the Indenture
Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including the
reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by it in connection with the
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder.
The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however,
a failure by the Indenture Trustee to promptly notify the Issuer and the
Administrator of a claim for which it may seek indemnity shall not
relieve the Administrator from its obligation to indemnify the Indenture
Trustee.

                 The Administrator's payment obligations to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.06 shall survive the resignation or
termination of the Indenture Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture.
When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a
Default specified in Section 8.1(f) with respect to the Issuer, the
expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the
Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law.

                 Section 10.7.  Eligibility Requirements for Indenture
Trustee.

                 The Indenture Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States or any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a long-term unsecured debt rating of at
least "Baa3" by Moody's and "BBB-" by Standard & Poor's having, in the
case of an entity that is subject to risk-based capital adequacy
requirements, risk-based capital of at least $50,000,000 or, in the case
of an entity that is not subject to risk-based capital adequacy
requirements, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority, and shall satisfy the requirements for a trustee set forth in
paragraph (a)(4)(i) of Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act.  If
such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 10.7, the risk-
based capital or the combined capital and surplus of such corporation, as
the case may be, shall be deemed to be its risk-based capital or combined
capital and surplus as set forth in the most recent report of condition
so published.

                 If this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, the
Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA
Section 310(a) and the Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA
Section 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second
sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9); provided that there shall be excluded
from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures
under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the
requirements for such exclusion set forth in the TIA Section 310(b)(1)
are met.

                 If at any time the Indenture Trustee ceases to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.7, the
Indenture Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 10.8.

                 Section 10.8.  Resignation or Removal of Indenture
Trustee.

                 (a)  The Indenture Trustee may give notice of its intent
to resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer.  The Holders of a
Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Investor Notes may
remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and
may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.  The Issuer shall remove the
Indenture Trustee if:

                   (i)    the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with
                          Section 10.7;

                  (ii)    the Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or
                          insolvent;

                                   -57-

<PAGE>

                 (iii)    a receiver or other public officer takes charge
                          of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or

                  (iv)    the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes
                          incapable of acting.

                 (b)      If the Indenture Trustee gives notice of its
intent to resign or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of
the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event
being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer
shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

                 (c)      A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a
written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee
and to the Issuer and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance shall have all the
rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.
The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Noteholders.  The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all
property held by it as the Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture
Trustee.

                 (d)      If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take
office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee gives notice
of its intent to resign or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee,
the Issuer or the Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of
Outstanding Investor Notes may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

                 (e)      If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with
Section 10.7, any Investor Noteholder may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment
of a successor Indenture Trustee.

                 (f)      Any resignation or removal of the Indenture
Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any
of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until
acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to
Section 10.8(c) and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing
Indenture Trustee.

                 (g)      Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer's and the
Administrator's obligations under Section 10.6 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee shall
not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Indenture
Trustee.

                 Section 10.9.  Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.

                 If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or
converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust

<PAGE>

business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the
resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act
shall be the successor Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee shall
provide the Issuer and the Rating Agencies written notice of any such
transaction.

                 In case at the time such successor or successors by
merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall
succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Investor Notes
shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to
the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Indenture Trustee, and deliver such Investor Notes so
authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Investor Notes shall
not have been authenticated, any successor Indenture Trustee may
authenticate such Investor Notes either in the name of any predecessor
Indenture Trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor Indenture
Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate of authentication shall
have the same full force as is provided anywhere in the Investor Notes or
in this Indenture with respect to the certificate of authentication of
the Indenture Trustee.

                 Section 10.10.  Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or
Separate Indenture Trustee.

                 (a)      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, at any time, for the purpose of
meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of
the Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall
have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one
or more persons to act as a co-Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture
Trustees, or separate Indenture Trustee or separate Indenture Trustees,
of all or any part of the Collateral, and to vest in such Person or
Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such
title to the Collateral, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section 10.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable.  No co-Indenture Trustee or separate Indenture Trustee
hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor Indenture Trustee under Section 10.7 and no notice to Investor
Noteholders of the appointment of any co-Indenture Trustee or separate
Indenture Trustee shall be required under Section 10.8.  No co-Indenture
Trustee shall be appointed without the consent of the Issuer unless such
appointment is required as a matter of state law or to enable the
Indenture Trustee to perform its functions hereunder.

                 (b)      Every separate Indenture Trustee and
co-Indenture Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed
and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

                          (i)  The Investor Notes of each Series shall
                 be authenticated and delivered solely by the Indenture
                 Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the
                 Indenture Trustee;

                                   -59-

<PAGE>

                          (ii)  All rights, powers, duties and
                 obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture
                 Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
                 or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate
                 Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee jointly (it
                 being understood that such separate Indenture Trustee or
                 co-Indenture Trustee is not authorized to act separately
                 without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act),
                 except to the extent that under any law of any
                 jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to
                 be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent
                 or unqualified to perform, such act or acts, in which
                 event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
                 (including the holding of title to the Assets or any
                 portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
                 exercised and performed singly by such separate
                 Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee, but solely at
                 the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

                          (iii)  No Indenture Trustee hereunder shall be
                 personally liable by reason of any act or omission of
                 any other Indenture Trustee hereunder;

                          (iv)  The Indenture Trustee may at any time
                 accept the resignation of or remove any separate
                 Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee; and

                          (v)  The Indenture Trustee shall remain
                 primarily liable for the actions of any co-Indenture
                 Trustee.

                 (c)      Any notice, request or other writing given to
the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the
then separate Indenture Trustees and co-Indenture Trustees, as
effectively as if given to each of them.  Every instrument appointing any
separate Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee shall refer to this
Indenture and the conditions of this Article 9.  Each separate Indenture
Trustee and co-Indenture Trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or
separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of
this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement, specifically including every
provision of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement relating to the
conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the
Indenture Trustee.  Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Indenture Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Issuer.

                 (d)      Any separate Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture
Trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect to this
Indenture or any Indenture Supplement on its behalf and in its name.  If
any separate Indenture Trustee or co-Indenture Trustee shall die, become

                                   -60-

incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by
the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor Indenture Trustee.

                 (e)      In connection with the appointment of a
co-Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may, at any time, at the
Indenture Trustee's sole cost and expense, without notice to the Investor
Noteholders, delegate its duties under this Base Indenture and any
Indenture Supplement to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in
accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that no such
delegation shall relieve the Indenture Trustee of its obligations and
responsibilities hereunder with respect to any such delegated duties.

                 Section 10.11.  Representations and Warranties of
Indenture Trustee.

                 The Indenture Trustee represents and warrants to the
Issuer and the Noteholders that:

                          (i)  The Indenture Trustee is a banking
                 corporation organized, existing and in good standing
                 under the laws of the State of New York;

                          (ii)  The Indenture Trustee has full power,
                 authority and right to execute, deliver and perform this
                 Indenture and any Indenture Supplement issued
                 concurrently with this Indenture and to authenticate the
                 Investor Notes, and has taken all necessary action to
                 authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it
                 of this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement issued
                 concurrently with this Indenture and to authenticate the
                 Investor Notes;

                          (iii)  This Indenture has been duly executed
                 and delivered by the Indenture Trustee; and

                          (iv)  The Indenture Trustee meets the
                 requirements of eligibility as an Indenture Trustee
                 hereunder set forth in Section 10.7.

                 Section 10.12.  Preferential Collection of Claims
Against the Issuer.

                 If this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, the
Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any
creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b) and an Indenture
Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA
Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

                 Section 11.1.  Termination of the Issuer's Obligations.

                 (a)      This Indenture shall cease to be of further
effect (except that the Issuer's obligations under Section 10.6 and the
Indenture Trustee's and Paying Agent's obligations under Section 11.3
shall survive) when all Outstanding Investor Notes theretofore
authenticated and issued have been delivered (other than destroyed, lost
or stolen Investor Notes which have been replaced or paid) to the
Indenture Trustee for cancellation and the Issuer has paid all sums
payable hereunder.

                 (b)      In addition, except as may be provided to the

obligations under this Indenture if:

                          (i)  The Issuer irrevocably deposits in
                 trust with the Indenture Trustee or at the option of the

                 satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer
                 under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in
                 form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture
                 Trustee, money or U.S. Government Obligations in an

                 recognized firm of independent certified public
                 accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
                 delivered to the Indenture Trustee, to pay, when due,
                 principal and interest on the Investor Notes to maturity
                 or redemption, as the case may be, and to pay all other

                 the Investor Notes;

                          (ii)  The Issuer delivers to the Indenture
                 Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that all
                 conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge of
                 this Indenture have been complied with, and an Opinion
                 of Counsel to the same effect; and

                 satisfied with respect to each Series of Outstanding
                 Investor Notes.

herein, the Indenture Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing
the discharge of the Issuer's obligations under this Indenture except for
those surviving obligations specified above.

necessary money.  U.S. Government Obligations shall not be callable at
the issuer's option.

         transfer to the Indenture Trustee any property or assets as
         security for the Investor Notes and to specify the terms and
         conditions upon which such property or assets are to be held and
         dealt with by the Indenture Trustee and to set forth such other
         provisions in respect thereof as may be required by the
         Indenture or as may, consistent with the provisions of the
         Indenture, be deemed appropriate by the Issuer and the Indenture
         Trustee, or to correct or amplify the description of any such
         property or assets at any time so mortgaged, pledged, conveyed
         and transferred to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
         Noteholders;

                 (d)      to cure any ambiguity, defect, or inconsistency
         or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in
         any Indenture Supplement or in any Investor Notes issued
         hereunder;

                 (e)      to evidence and provide for the acceptance of
         appointment hereunder by a successor Indenture Trustee with
         respect to the Investor Notes of one or more Series and to add
         to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be
         necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the
         trusts hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee;

                 (f)      to correct or Indenture Supplement any
         provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other
         provision herein or to make any other provisions with respect to
         matters or questions arising under this Indenture; or

                 (g)      if this Indenture is required to be qualified
         under the TIA, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
         this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect
         the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or under any
         similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to this
         Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required by
         the TIA;

provided, however, that, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered
to the Indenture Trustee (at the Issuer's expense), such action shall not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Investor
Noteholder.  Upon the request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall

                                   -64-

join with the Issuer in the execution of any Indenture Supplement
authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and shall make any
further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein
contained, but the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into
such Indenture Supplement which affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

                 Section 12.2.  With Consent of the Investor Noteholders.

                 Except as provided in Section 12.1, the provisions of
this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement (unless otherwise provided in
such Indenture Supplement) and each other Transaction Document to which
the Issuer is a party may from time to time be amended, modified or
waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and
consented to in writing by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Series of Outstanding Investor
Notes; provided that, if such amendment, modification or waiver of or to
this Indenture, the Indenture Supplement with respect to a Series of
Investor Notes or any Transaction Document does not affect the
Noteholders of a particular Series of Investor Notes (as substantiated by
an Opinion of Counsel to such effect), then the consent of the Investor
Noteholders of such Series shall not be required to such amendment,
modification or waiver; provided further, that no consent of Investor
Noteholders shall be required to any amendment, modification or waiver of
or to any Transaction Document if such amendment, modification or waiver
does not adversely affect in any material respect the Noteholders of any
Series of Investor Notes (as substantiated by an Opinion of Counsel to
such effect) and provided further that the Rating Agency Condition is
satisfied with respect to each affected Series of Investor Notes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing:

                          (i)  any modification of this Section 11.2,
                 any requirement hereunder that any particular action be
                 taken by Investor Noteholders holding the relevant
                 percentage in principal amount of the Investor Notes or
                 any change in the definition of the terms "Adjusted
                 Aggregate Unit Balance" or "Asset Deficiency", "Invested
                 Amount", "Invested Percentage" or any defined term used
                 for the purpose of any such definitions shall require
                 the consent of each affected Investor Noteholder; and

                          (ii)  any amendment, waiver or other
                 modification that would (a) extend the due date for, or
                 reduce the amount of any scheduled repayment or
                 prepayment of principal of or interest on any Investor
                 Note (or reduce the principal amount of or rate of
                 interest on any Investor Note) shall require the consent
                 of each affected Investor Noteholder; (b) approve the
                 assignment or transfer by the Issuer of any of its
                 rights or obligations hereunder or under any other
                 Transaction Document to which it is a party except
                 pursuant to the express terms hereof or thereof shall
                 require the consent of each Investor Noteholder;

                                   -65-

<PAGE>

                 (c) release any obligor under any Transaction Document to
                 which it is a party except pursuant to the express terms
                 of such Transaction Document shall require the consent
                 of each Investor Noteholder; provided, however, that the
                 Liens on Vehicles may be released as provided in Section
                 3.5; (d) affect adversely the interests, rights or
                 obligations of any Investor Noteholder individually in
                 comparison to any other Investor Noteholder shall
                 require the consent of such Investor Noteholder; or (e)
                 amend or otherwise modify any Amortization Event shall
                 require the consent of each affected Investor
                 Noteholder.

                 Section 12.3.  Indenture Supplements.

                 Each amendment or other modification to this Indenture
or the Investor Notes shall be set forth in an Indenture Supplement.  The
initial effectiveness of each Indenture Supplement shall be subject to
the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.  In addition to the
manner provided in Sections 12.1 and 12.2, each Indenture Supplement may
be amended as provided in such Indenture Supplement.

                 Section 12.4.  Revocation and Effect of Consents.

                 Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a
consent to it by an Investor Noteholder of an Investor Note is a
continuing consent by the Investor Noteholder and every subsequent
Investor Noteholder of an Investor Note or portion of an Investor Note
that evidences the same debt as the consenting Investor Noteholder's
Investor Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any
Investor Note.  However, any such Investor Noteholder or subsequent
Investor Noteholder may revoke the consent as to his Investor Note or
portion of an Investor Note if the Indenture Trustee receives written
notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes
effective.  An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with
its terms and thereafter binds every Investor Noteholder.  The Issuer may
fix a record date for determining which Investor Noteholders must consent
to such amendment or waiver.

                 Section 12.5.  Notation on or Exchange of Investor
Notes.

                 The Indenture Trustee may place an appropriate notation
about an amendment or waiver on any Investor Note thereafter
authenticated.  The Issuer in exchange for all Investor Notes may issue
and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate new Investor Notes that
reflect the amendment or waiver.  Failure to make the appropriate
notation or issue a new Investor Note shall not affect the validity and
effect of-such amendment or waiver.

                 Section 12.6.  The Indenture Trustee to Sign Amendments,
etc.

                 The Indenture Trustee shall sign any Indenture
Supplement authorized pursuant to this Article 12 if the Indenture
Supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or
immunities of the Indenture Trustee.  If it does, the Indenture Trustee
may, but need not, sign it.  In signing such Indenture Supplement, the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested, an
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and, subject to
Section 10.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer's
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such
Indenture Supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and
that it will be valid and binding upon the Issuer in accordance with its
terms.

                 Section 12.7.  Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

                 If this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, every
amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed
pursuant to this Article 12 shall comply in all respects with the TIA.

                               ARTICLE 13.

                              MISCELLANEOUS

                 Section 13.1.  Compliance Certificates and Opinions.

                 (a)      Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the

provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been
complied with, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of
such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied
with, and (iii) if this Indenture is qualified under the TIA and the TIA

Section 13.1, except that, in the case of any such application or request
as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by
any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion
need be furnished.

                 Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance
with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall
include:

                          (i)  a statement that each signatory of such
         certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such
         covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating
         thereto;

<PAGE>

                          (ii)  a brief statement as to the nature and scope
         of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or
         opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

                          (iii)  a statement that, in the opinion of each
         such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or
         investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to
         express an informed opinion as to whether such covenant or
         condition has been complied with; and

                          (iv)  a statement as to whether, in the opinion of
         each such signatory such condition or covenant has been complied
         with.

                 (b)      (i)  If this Indenture is qualified under the
TIA and the TIA so requires, prior to the deposit of any property or
securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for
the release of any property or securities subject to the Lien of this
Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in
Section 13.1(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture
Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days
of such deposit) to the Issuer of the property or securities to be so
deposited.

                          (ii)  Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish
         to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or
         stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described
         in clause (i), the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture
         Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if
         the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so
         deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any
         such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-
         current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the
         certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) and this clause
         (ii), is 10% or more of the Aggregate Invested Amount, but such
         a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any
         securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer
         as set forth in the related Officer's Certificate is less than
         $25,000 or less than one percent of the Aggregate Invested
         Amount.

                          (iii)  If this Indenture is qualified under the TIA
         and the TIA so requires, whenever any property or securities are to
         be released from the Lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall
         also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate
         certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such
         certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such
         release) of the property or securities proposed to be released

                          (iv)  Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to
         the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating
         the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in
         clause (iii), the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture
         Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the
         fair value of the property or securities and of all other
         property, or securities released from the Lien of this Indenture
         since the commencement of the then current calendar year, as set
         forth in the certificates required by clause (iii) and this
         clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the Aggregate Invested
         Amount, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case
         of any release of property or securities if the fair value
         thereof as set forth in the related Officer's Certificate is
         less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the then Aggregate
         Invested Amount.

                          (v)  Notwithstanding any provision of this Section,
         the Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of
         the Issuer Assets as and to the extent permitted or required by
         the Transaction Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the
         Issuer Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by
         the Transaction Documents.

                 Section 13.2.  Forms of Documents Delivered to Indenture
Trustee.

                 In any case where several matters are required to be
certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is
not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the
opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered
by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion
with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to
other matters, and any such Person my certify or give an opinion as to
such matters in one or several documents.

                 Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of
the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a
certificate to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion
or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her
certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.  Any such certificate of
an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it
relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller or
the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual
matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller or the Issuer,
unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to
such matters are erroneous.

                 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute
two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements,

                                   -69-

opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need
not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

                 Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any
application, certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is
provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document (x) as a condition of
the granting of such application, or (y) as evidence of the Issuer's
compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and
accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the
effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in each case be
conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application
granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report.  The
foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture
Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or
opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article 10.

                 Section 13.3.  Actions of Noteholders.

                 (a)      Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be
given or taken by the Investor Noteholders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor
signed by such Investor Noteholders in person or by an agent duly ap-
pointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
are delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, when required, to the Issuer.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any
such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in
the manner provided in this Section 13.3.

                 (b)      The fact and date of the execution by any Investor
Noteholder of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any
reasonable manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

                 (c)      Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other act by an Investor Noteholder shall bind
every Holder of every Investor Note issued upon the registration of
transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect
of anything done, or omitted to be done, by the Indenture Trustee or the
Issuer in reliance thereon, regardless of whether notation of such action
is made upon such Investor Note.

                 (d)      The Indenture Trustee may require such additional
proof of any matter referred to in this Section 13.3 as it shall deem
necessary.

                 Section 13.4.  Notices.

                 (a)      Any notice or communication by the Issuer or the

time designate more than a total of three (3) addresses to which notices
must be sent in order to be effective.

the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be in writing, personally

mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Investor Noteholder affected
by such event, at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not
later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date,
prescribed (if any) for the giving of such notice.  In any case where
notice to Investor Noteholder is given by mail, neither the failure to
mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Investor Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Investor Noteholders, and any notice which
is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to
