a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable
Securities by the Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of
distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in such Shelf Registration

however, that the Company may, upon written notice to all Holders, postpone
having the Shelf Registration Statement declared effective for a reasonable
period not to exceed 90 days in any 365 day period if the Company possesses
material non-public information, the disclosure of which would have a material
adverse effect on

                                       3
<PAGE>

the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, further, however,
that no Holder (other than the Purchasers) shall be entitled to have its
Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such
Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement
applicable to such Holder.

                  (b)      The Company shall each use all reasonable efforts:

                           (i)      to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
                  continuously effective in order to permit the Prospectus
                  forming a part thereof to be lawfully delivered to the Holders
                  until the earliest of (a) the sale of all Registrable

                  Period;" and

                           (ii)     during the Shelf Registration Period,
                  promptly upon the request of any Holder of Registrable
                  Securities, to take any action reasonably necessary to enable
                  such Holder to use the Prospectus forming a part thereof for
                  resales of Registrable Securities, and to identify such Holder
                  as a selling securityholder; provided, however, that nothing
                  in this subparagraph shall relieve such Holder of the
                  obligation to return a completed and signed Notice and
                  Questionnaire to the Company in accordance with Section 3(a)
                  hereof.

                  The Company shall be deemed not to have used all reasonable
efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf
Registration Period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in
Holders of Registrable Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and
sell such Registrable Securities during such period, unless such action is
required by applicable law.

                  (c)      The Company may suspend the use of the Prospectus for
a period not to exceed 30 days in any 90-day period or an aggregate of 90 days
in any 365-day period if the Board of Directors of the Company, or the executive
committee thereof, shall have determined in good faith that because of valid
business reasons (not including the avoidance of the Company's obligations
hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets, pending
corporate developments and similar events, it is in the best interests of the
Company to suspend such use, and prior to suspending such use, the Company
provides the Holders with written notice of such suspension, which notice need
not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such suspension.

                  (d)      Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to
the contrary, the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the
related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective
date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply
in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act
and the rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

         3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with any Shelf Registration
Statement, the following provisions shall apply:

                  (a)      (i) Not less than 30 calendar days prior to the
Effective Date of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall mail the
Notice and Questionnaire to the Holders of

                                       4

securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or have its Registrable
Securities included therein, and no Holder shall be entitled to use the
Prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities at any
time, unless such Holder is an Electing Holder; provided, however, Holders of
Registrable Securities shall have at least 28 calendar days from the date on
which the Notice and Questionnaire is first mailed to such Holders to return a
completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company.

                           (ii)     After the Effective Date of the Shelf
                  Registration Statement and during the Shelf Registration
                  Period, the Company shall, upon the request of any Holder of
                  Registrable Securities that is not then an Electing Holder,
                  promptly send a Notice and Questionnaire to such Holder. The
                  Company shall not be required to take any action to name such
                  Holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration
                  Statement or to enable such Holder to use the Prospectus
                  forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities
                  until such Holder has returned a completed and signed Notice
                  and Questionnaire to the Company.

                           (iii)    The term "Electing Holder" shall mean any
                  Holder of Registrable Securities that has returned a completed
                  and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company in
                  accordance with Section 3(a)(i) or 3(a)(ii) hereof and has
                  otherwise agreed to be bound by all the provisions of this
                  Agreement applicable to such Holder.

                  (b)      The Company shall furnish to (i) the Purchasers and
(ii) any other Holders who so request, and its counsel and accountants, prior to
the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of any Shelf Registration
Statement, and each pre-effective amendment thereof and each amendment or
supplement, if any, to the Prospectus included therein and shall each use all
reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the
Commission, such comments as the Purchasers and such other Holders reasonably
may propose.

                  (c)      The Company shall give written notice to the
Purchasers and the Holders:

                           (i)      when the Shelf Registration Statement and
                  any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and
                  when the Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective
                  amendment thereto (other than post-effective amendments filed
                  to name a Holder as a selling securityholder therein or to
                  provide information with respect to selling securityholders,
                  in which case the Company shall give written notice solely to
                  such Holder or selling securityholders) has become effective;

                           (ii)     of any written request by the Commission for
                  amendments or supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement
                  or the Prospectus included therein or for additional
                  information;

                           (iii)    of the issuance by the Commission of any
                  stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf
                  Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings
                  for that purpose;

                                       5
<PAGE>

                           (iv)     of the receipt by the Company of any
                  notification with respect to the suspension of the
                  qualification of the Securities included therein for sale in
                  any state or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
                  for such purpose; and

                           (v)      of the happening, during the Shelf
                  Registration Period, of any event that requires the making of
                  any changes in the Shelf Registration Statement or the
                  Prospectus so that, as of such date, the Registration
                  Statement and the Prospectus do not contain an untrue
                  statement of a material fact and do not omit to state a
                  material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
                  make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in
                  light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
                  misleading (which advice shall be accompanied by an
                  instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the
                  requisite changes have been made).

                  (d)      The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to
prevent the issuance, and if issued to obtain the withdrawal, of any order
suspending the effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement at the earliest
possible time.

                  (e)      The Company shall furnish to the Purchasers and each
requesting Holder included within the coverage of any Shelf Registration
Statement, without charge, at least one copy of such Shelf Registration
Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (including, to the Purchasers
or any such Holder who so requests, any reports or other documents incorporated
therein by reference), including financial statements and schedules included
therein, and, if such Holder so requests, all exhibits (including those
incorporated by reference).

                  (f)      The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration
Period, deliver to each Holder included within the coverage of any Shelf

(including each preliminary Prospectus) included in such Shelf Registration
Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably
request; and the Company consents to the use, in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each
of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering
and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto during the Shelf Registration Period.

                  (g)      Prior to any offering of Registrable Securities
pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall register or
qualify, or shall cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities included
therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or
qualification of, such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the
securities or blue sky laws of such states as any such Holders reasonably
request in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or
advisable to enable the offer and sale in such states of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that
the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would
subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject.

and unless directed otherwise by the Commission), the Company shall promptly
prepare and file a post-effective amendment to any Shelf Registration Statement
or an amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other
required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders or purchasers of
the Registrable Securities included therein, the Prospectus will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company
notifies the Purchasers or the Holders of the Securities in accordance with
paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(c) above to suspend the use of the
Prospectus until the requisite changes to the Prospectus have been made, then
the Purchasers and the Holders of the Registrable Securities shall suspend use
of the Prospectus for such time.

                  (j)      Not later than the effective date of any Shelf
Registration Statement hereunder, the Company shall provide a CUSIP number for
the Registrable Securities registered under such Shelf Registration Statement,

Securities, in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company.

                  (k)      The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and shall
make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in
accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) as soon as practicable
after the effective date of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement an
earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
Act, but in no event later than 45 days after the end of a 365-day period (or 90
days, it such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the
Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the
Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 365-day period.

                  (l)      The Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act in a timely manner and containing such changes, if
any, as shall be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such
qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee under the
Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the
applicable provisions of such agreement.

                  (m)      The Company may require each Holder of Registrable
Securities to be sold pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement as a
condition to the registration of such Holder's Registrable Securities thereunder
to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the
distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time
reasonably require for inclusion in such Shelf Registration Statement. Each
Holder who offers and sells Registrable Securities by means of the Shelf
Registration Statement shall do so in accordance with the terms thereof and the
requirements of the Securities Act.

                  (n)      The Company shall, if requested, as soon as
practicable after receipt of notice from the Managing Underwriters, promptly
incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Shelf
Registration Statement, such information as the Managing Underwriters, if any,
reasonably agree should be included therein and to which the Company does not
reasonably object and shall make all required filings of such Prospectus
supplement or post-

                                       7

effective amendment as soon as practicable after they are notified of the
matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment.

                  (o)      The Company shall enter into such customary
agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) to take all
other appropriate actions in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or
the disposition of the Registrable Securities and in connection therewith, if an
underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain
indemnification provisions and procedures substantially identical to those set
forth in Section 5 hereof (or such other customary provisions and procedures
acceptable to the Managing Underwriters, if any) with respect to all parties to
be indemnified pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

                  (p)      The Company shall (1) make reasonably available for
inspection by the Holders of Securities to be registered thereunder, any
underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration
Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Holders
or any such underwriter, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries as shall
be requested in connection with the discharge of their due diligence
obligations; (ii) cause the Company's officers, directors, employees and
independent public accountants and the Trustee to supply at the Company's
expense all relevant information reasonably requested by such Holders or any
such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with any such

examinations; provided, however, that any information that is designated in
writing by the Company in good faith as confidential at the time of delivery of
such information shall be kept confidential by such Holders or any such
underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent, unless such disclosure is made in
connection with a court proceeding or required by law, or such information
becomes available to the public generally or through a third party without an
accompanying obligation of confidentiality; and provided further that the
foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of
the Holders and the other parties entitled thereto by one counsel, who shall be
Latham & Watkins LLP unless another nationally-recognized law firm with
specialization in securities laws shall be chosen by the Company; (iii) make
such representations and warranties to the Holders of Securities registered
thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are
customarily made by the issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten
offerings and covering matters as are customarily covered in representations and
warranties requested in primary underwritten offerings including, but not
limited to, those set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (iv) obtain opinions of
counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form,
scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing
Underwriters, if any) addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if
any, thereof and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date
of such Shelf Registration Statement (it being agreed that the matters to be
covered by such opinion shall include, without limitation, the due incorporation
and good standing of the Company and its Subsidiaries; the due authorization,
execution and delivery of the relevant agreement of the type referred to in
Section 3(o) hereof; the due authorization, execution, authentication and
issuance, and the validity and enforceability, of the applicable Securities: the
absence of material legal or governmental proceedings involving the Company and
its Subsidiaries; the absence of governmental approvals required to be obtained
in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the offering and sale of
the applicable Securities, or any agreement of the type referred to in Section
3(o) hereof; the compliance as to form of such Shelf Registration Statement and
any documents incorporated by reference therein and of the Indenture, with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act; and, as of the
date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration
Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be,
that such counsel do not believe that such Shelf Registration

                                       8
<PAGE>

Statement and the prospectus included therein, as then amended or supplemented,
and any documents incorporated by reference therein contain an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in
the case of any such documents, in the light of the circumstances existing at
the time that such documents were filed with the Commission under the Exchange
Act); (v) cause its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and
certificates and updates thereof requested by such Holders and any underwriters
of the applicable Securities and (vi) cause its independent public accountants
and the independent public accountants with respect to any other entity for
which financial information is provided in the Shelf Registration Statement to
provide to the Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter therefor
a comfort letter in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily
covered in comfort letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings,
subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if
permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72. The foregoing actions set
forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section 3(p) shall be
performed at (A) the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement and each
post-effective amendment thereto, other than post-effective amendments filed to
name a Holder as a selling securityholder therein or to provide information with
respect to selling securityholders, and (B) each closing under any underwritten
offering of the Securities to the extent required under any related underwriting
or similar agreement.

                  (q)      The Company will use all reasonable efforts to cause
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities to be listed on each
securities exchange, over-the-counter market, or respective counterpart if any,
on which any shares of Common Stock are then listed.

                  (r)      The Company shall, in the event that any
broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Registrable
Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling
group or "assist in the distribution" (within the meaning of the Rules of Fair
Practice and the By-Laws of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD")) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Registrable Securities or as an
underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect
thereof, or otherwise, assist such broker-dealer in complying with the
requirements of such Rules and By-Laws, including, without limitation, by (A) if
such Rules or By-Laws, including Rule 2720, shall so require, engaging a
"qualified independent underwriter" (as defined in Rule 2720) to participate in
the preparation of the Shelf Registration Statement relating to such Registrable
Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and,
if any portion of the offering contemplated by such Shelf Registration Statement
is an underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to
recommend the yield of such Registrable Securities, (B) indemnifying any such
qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of
underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and (C) providing such information to
such broker-dealer as may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply
with the requirements of the Rules of Fair Practice of the NASD.

                  (s)      The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to take
all other steps necessary to effect the registration, offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated
hereby.

         4. REGISTRATION EXPENSES (a) All expenses incident to the Company's
performance of and compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company,
regardless of whether a Shelf Registration Statement is ever filed or becomes
effective, including without limitation:

                                        9
<PAGE>

                           (i)      all registration and filing fees and
                  expenses;

                           (ii)     all fees and expenses of compliance with
                  federal securities and state "blue sky" or securities laws;

                           (iii)    all expenses of printing (including printing
                  certificates for the Securities without the restrictive legend
                  to be issued and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and
                  delivery services and telephone;

                           (iv)     all fees and disbursements of counsel for
                  the Company;

                           (v)      all application and filing fees in
                  connection with listing the Securities on a national
                  securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to
                  the requirements hereof; and

                           (vi)     all fees and disbursements of independent
                  certified public accountants of the Company (including the
                  expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by
                  or incident to such performance).

                  The Company will bear its internal expenses (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the
fees and expenses of any person, including special experts, retained by the
Company.

                  (b)      In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement
required by this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Purchasers and the
Holders who are selling or reselling Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not
more than one counsel, who shall be Latham & Watkins LLP unless another
nationally-recognized law firm with specialization in securities laws shall be
chosen by the Company.

         5. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION (a) In connection with any Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company agrees to indemnity and hold harmless the
Purchasers, each Holder of Securities covered thereby (including the
Purchasers), their respective partners, directors, and officers and each person,
if any, who controls the Purchasers or any such Holder within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act (the Purchasers, Holder and such controlling
persons are referred to collectively as the "Indemnified Parties") against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in
respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to
which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common
law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf
Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment or supplement
thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, or in any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, and shall reimburse each such
Indemnified Party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that (i) the Company will
not be liable in any case to the extent that any such

                                       10
<PAGE>

loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by or on behalf of the Purchasers or any such Holder specifically
for inclusion therein and (ii) the foregoing indemnity, with respect to any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in any preliminary Prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement,
shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder (or any person controlling such
Holder) from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that a Prospectus
relating to such Securities was required to be delivered by such Holder under
the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim,
damage or liability of such Holder results from the fact that there was not sent
or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of
such Securities to such person, a copy of the Final Prospectus if the Company
had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder at or prior to the
written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person and the
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected in the final prospectus
(or the final prospectus as supplemented). This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

         The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers,
directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with
respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities and shall, if
requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such
agreement, as provided in Section 3(n) and Section 6 hereof.

                  (b)      Each Holder of Securities covered by a Shelf
Registration Statement (including the Purchasers) severally, and not jointly,
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Company, (ii) each of the
directors of the Company, (iii) each of its officers who signs such Shelf
Registration Statement and (iv) each person who controls the Company within the
meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as
the foregoing indemnity from the Company, but only in respect of written
information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the
foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which any such Holder may otherwise have.

                  (c)      Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding
(including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
Section 5, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying
party from any liability it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
under paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to
the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of such
indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any

                                       11
<PAGE>

indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims
that are the subject matter of such action and does not include a statement as
to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of
any indemnified party.

                  (d)      If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5
is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in
subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one
hand and the indemnified party on the other from the Initial Placement and the
Shelf Registration Statement, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the
foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on
the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or
such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other,
and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by
an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to
include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is
the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 5(d), the Holders of the Securities shall not be required to contribute
any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such
Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who
controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified
party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company.

                  (e)      The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall
survive the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and
shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or
cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any
indemnified party.

         6. UNDERWRITTEN OFFERING. If, pursuant to written notice delivered to
the Company by the Holders of a majority of aggregate principal amount of
Registrable Securities then registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration, such
Holders so elect, the offer and sale of any Common Stock issued or issuable upon
conversion of the Securities may be effected in the form of an underwritten
offering. In any such underwritten offering, the investment banker or bankers
and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by,
and the underwriting

                                       12
<PAGE>

arrangements with respect thereto will be approved by, the Company; provided,
however, that such investment bankers and managers and underwriting arrangements
must be reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities to be included in such offering. No Holder may participate in any
underwritten offering contemplated hereby unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell
such Holder's Registrable Securities in accordance with any approved
underwriting arrangements, and (b) completes and executes all reasonable
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements,
lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such approved
underwriting arrangements.

         7. CHANGES TO THE APPLICABLE RATE UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES (a)
Pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, the Company, may, upon written notice to all
the Holders, postpone having the Shelf Registration Statement declared effective
for a reasonable period not to exceed 90 days in any 365 day period if the
Company possesses material non-public information, the disclosure of which would
have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a
whole. Notwithstanding any such postponement, the Applicable Rate shall be
adjusted as follows, if any of the following events occur (each such event in
clauses (i) through (iii) below, a "Registration Default"):

                  (i)      if a Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed
         with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Deadline;

                  (ii)     if the Shelf Registration Statement has not been
         declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness
         Deadline;

                  (iii)    if (A) after the Shelf Registration Statement is
         declared effective, such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be
         effective prior to the earlier of (1) the end of the Shelf Registration
         Period, (2) the sale of all Registrable Securities registered under the
         Shelf Registration Statement or (3) the expiration of the applicable
         period under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act or (B) such Shelf
         Registration Statement or the related Prospectus ceases to be usable by
         Holders who are named as selling securityholders in a previously
         effective Registration Statement (including if the use of the
         Prospectus is suspended by the Company for more than 30 days in any
         90-day period or an aggregate of 90 days in any 365-day period, as set
         forth in Section 2(c) hereof) in connection with resales of Securities
         covered by such Shelf Registration Statement prior to the end of the
         Shelf Registration Period because either (1) any event occurs as a
         result of which the related Prospectus forming part of such Shelf
         Registration Statement would include any untrue statement of a material
         fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
         statements therein in the light of the circumstances in which they were
         made not misleading or (2) it shall be necessary to amend such Shelf
         Registration Statement, or supplement the related Prospectus, to comply
         with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules
         thereunder.

         Each of the foregoing will constitute a Registration Default whatever
the reason for any such event and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is
beyond the control of the Company or pursuant to operation of law or as a result
of any action or inaction by the Commission; provided, however, that the
Company's failure to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Securities with the Commission shall not constitute a
Registration Default so long as the Company used all reasonable efforts to
register such shares.

                                       13
<PAGE>

         Additional interest shall accrue on the Registrable Securities over and
above the interest set forth in the title of the Registrable Securities, from
and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but
excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been cured or
the increase in the Applicable Rate attributable to any Registration Default
shall have ceased to be effective, at a rate of 0.50% per annum (the "Additional
Interest Rate"). The increase in the Applicable Rate attributable to any
Registration Default shall cease to be effective from the date such Registration
Default is cured or ceases to be effective pursuant to the next sentence of this
paragraph, and the Applicable Rate shall be reduced at such time to the
Applicable Rate in effect immediately prior to such Registration Default. If any
Registration Default has occurred and not earlier cured, the increase in the
Applicable Rate attributable to any Registration Default shall cease to be
effective as of the earliest of (i) the end of the Registration Period, (ii) the
sale of all Registrable Securities registered under the Registration Statement
and (iii) the expiration of the applicable period under Rule 144(k) of the
Securities Act. If a Holder has converted some or all of its Securities into the
cash and shares of our Common Stock, the Holder will be entitled to receive
equivalent amounts of additional interest based on the principal amount of the
Securities converted, provided that such additional interest shall not accrue
with respect to the Common Stock if the Company uses all reasonable efforts to
register such Common Stock.

                  (b)      A Registration Default referred to in Section
7(a)(iii) shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to
the Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus if (i) such
Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a
post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate
annual audited financial information with respect to the Company where such
post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective
to permit Holders to use the related Prospectus or (y) the occurrence of other
material events or developments with respect to the Company that would need to
be described in such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus and (ii)
in the case of clause (y) the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith
to amend or supplement such Registration Statement and related Prospectus to
describe such events; provided, however, that in any case if such Registration
Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days in any 90-day period
or an aggregate of 90 days in any 365-day period, Additional Interest shall be
payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration
Default occurred until such Registration Default is cured.

                  (c)      Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any
amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to Section 7(a) will be payable in
cash on the regular interest payment dates (or such other time as provided in
the Indenture for the payment of interest or distributions) with respect to the
Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying
the applicable Additional Interest Rate by the principal amount of the
Registrable Securities and further multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days such Additional Interest Rate was applicable during
such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360.

         8. RULES 144 AND 144A. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to
file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required
to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Registrable
Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to
permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A of the
Securities Act, or any successor regulation or statute thereto. The Company
covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to
sell Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the

                                       14
<PAGE>

limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including the
requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a copy of this
Agreement to prospective purchasers of Securities identified to the Company by
the Purchasers upon request. Upon the request of any Holder of Securities, the
Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 8 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its
securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

         9. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a)      Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that
any failure by it to comply with its obligations under Section 2 hereof may
result in material irreparable injury to the Purchasers or the Holders for which
there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure
damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure,
the Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to
specifically enforce the Company's obligations under Section 2 hereof. The
Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific
performance of Section 2 hereof that a remedy at law would be adequate.

                  (b)      No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not, as
of the date hereof, entered into, nor shall it on or after the date hereof,
enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities or otherwise that is
inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders herein or otherwise
conflicts with the provisions hereof.

                  (c)      Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this
Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended,
qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the
written consent of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities
affected by such amendment, qualification, modification, supplement, waiver or
consent.

                  (d)      Notices. All notices and other communications
provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be
mailed, delivered, telegraphed and confirmed or faxed and confirmed:

                  (1)      if to a Holder, at the most current address given by
         such Holder to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this
         Section 9(d), which address initially is, with respect to each Holder,
         the address of such Holder maintained by the Registrar under the
         Indenture; with a copy in a like manner to Deutsche Bank Securities
         Inc.;

                  (2)      if to the Purchasers, initially at the address set
         forth in the Purchase Agreement; and

                  (3)      if to the Company, initially at its address set forth
         in the Purchase Agreement.

                  The Purchasers, any Holder or the Company by notice to the
other may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or
communications.

                  (e)      Third Party Beneficiaries. The Holders shall be third
party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, on the
one hand, and the Purchasers, on

                                       15
<PAGE>

the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to
the extent they may deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect
their rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.

                  (f)      Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the
parties and the Holders, including, without the need for an express assignment
or any consent by the Company thereto, subsequent Holders of Securities. The
Company hereby agrees to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of
Registrable Securities and any such Holder may specifically enforce the
provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto.

                  (g)      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

                  (h)      Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof.

                  (i)      Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

                  (j)      Securities Held by the Company. Whenever the consent
or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of
Securities is required hereunder, Securities held by the Company or its
affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities if such subsequent
Holders are deemed to be affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such
Securities) shall not be considered to be outstanding and shall not be counted
in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such
required percentage.

                  (k)      Severability. In the event that any one of more of
the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any
circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any
reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every
other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way
impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and
privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted
by law.

                                    THE NOTES

Section 2.01      Form and Dating.

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

         The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and
are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuers and the
Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to
such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any

                                       43

<PAGE>

provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture,
the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

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

         (c) Temporary Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on
Regulation S will be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Temporary
Global Note, which will be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes
represented thereby with the Trustee, at its corporate trust office, as
Custodian, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the
Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear
or Clearstream, duly executed by the Issuers and authenticated by the Trustee as
hereinafter provided. The Restricted Period will be terminated upon the receipt
by the Trustee of (1) a written certificate from the Depositary, together with
copies of certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream, certifying that they have
received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to
the extent of any beneficial owners thereof who acquired an interest therein
during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from registration
under the Securities Act and who will take delivery of a beneficial ownership
interest in a 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note bearing a Private Placement
Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.06(b)), and (2) an Officer's
Certificate from the Company stating that such Restricted Period has ended.

         Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial
interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note will be exchanged for
beneficial interests in Regulation S Permanent Global Notes pursuant to the
Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of Regulation S
Permanent Global Notes, the Trustee will, upon receipt of written directions,
cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of
the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global
Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the
records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in
connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.

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

Section 2.02  Execution and Authentication.

         One Officer of each Issuer must sign the Notes for the Issuers by
manual or facsimile signature.

                                       44
<PAGE>

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

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

         The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuers signed
by one Officer of each Issuer (an "Authentication Order"), authenticate Notes
for original issue up to the aggregate principal amount stated in paragraph 4 of
the Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may
not exceed such amount except as provided in Section 2.07.

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

Section 2.03  Registrar and Paying Agent.

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

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

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

Section 2.04  Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

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

Section 2.05  Holder Lists.

                                       45
<PAGE>

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

Section 2.06  Transfer and Exchange.

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

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

                  (2) the Issuers in their sole discretion determine that the
         Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for
         Definitive Notes and deliver a written notice to such effect to the
         Trustee; provided, that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary
         Global Note be exchanged by the Issuers for Definitive Notes prior
         to (x) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (y) the receipt
         by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule
         903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act; or

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

         Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (1), (2) or (3)
above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall
instruct the Trustee in writing. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced,
in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10. Every Note
authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any
portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10, shall be
authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A
Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this
Section 2.06(a); however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be
transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f).

         (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes.
The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be
effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted
Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set
forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of
beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with
either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of
the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

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

                                       46
<PAGE>

         expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests
         in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note may not be made to a U.S.
         Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than the
         Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global
         Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the
         form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No
         written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the
         Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1).

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

                           (A)      both:

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

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

                           (B)      both:

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

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

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

         Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance
         with Section 2.06(f) hereof, the requirements of this Section
         2.06(b)(2) shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon receipt by the
         applicable exchange agent of (i) the instructions contained in the
         Letter of Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial
         interests in the Restricted Global Notes or (ii) the instructions
         contained in the agent's message received by such exchange agent
         through DTC's Automated Tender Offer Procedures, as applicable. Upon
         satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of
         beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and
         the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee
         shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s)
         pursuant to Section 2.06(h) hereof.

                  (3) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted
         Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be
         transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof

                                       47
<PAGE>

         in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note
         if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2)
         above and the Registrar receives the following:

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

                           (B) if the transferee will take delivery in the form

                  Note or the Regulation S Global Note, then the transferor must
                  deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit C, including the
                  certifications in item (2) thereof; and

         Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted
         Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be
         exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an
         Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery
         thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
         Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of
         Section 2.06(b)(2) above and:

                           (A) such exchange or transfer is effected pursuant to

                           (D) the Registrar receives the following:

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

                           interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a
                           certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit

                  the form of Exhibit C, including the certifications in item
                  (2) thereof; and

                           (C) if the transfer will be made pursuant to any

         thereof for an Unrestricted Definitive Note or transferred to a Person
         or Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted
         Definitive Note if:

                           (A) such exchange or transfer is effected pursuant to

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

                           (C) any such transfer is effected by a Broker-Dealer
                  pursuant to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in

                           (D) the Registrar receives the following:

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

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

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

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

                                       54

         (f) Exchange Offer. Upon the occurrence of the Exchange Offer in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will issue and,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof,
the Trustee will authenticate:

                  (1) one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate
         principal amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
         interests in the Restricted Global Notes accepted for exchange in the
         Exchange Offer by Persons that certify in the applicable Letters of
         Transmittal that (A) they are not Broker-Dealers, (B) they are not
         participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes and (C) they are
         not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company; and

                  (2) Unrestricted Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal
         amount equal to the principal amount of the Restricted Definitive Notes
         accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer by Persons that certify in
         the applicable Letters of Transmittal that (A) they are not
         Broker-Dealers, (B) they are not participating in a distribution of the
         Exchange Notes and (C) they are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144)
         of the Company.

         Concurrently with the issuance of such Notes, the Trustee will cause
the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Notes to be
reduced accordingly, and the Company will execute and the Trustee, upon receipt
of an Authentication Order, will authenticate and deliver to the Persons
designated by the Holders of Definitive Notes so accepted Unrestricted
Definitive Notes in the appropriate principal amount.

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

                  (1) Private Placement Legend. Except as permitted by the
         paragraph immediately following the legend below, each Global Note and
         each Definitive Note (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or
         substitution thereof) shall bear the legend in substantially the
         following form:

"THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD,
PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE
ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING

SECURITIES ACT, (D) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE
144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), (E) TO AN IAI THAT, PRIOR TO SUCH
TRANSFER, FURNISHES TO THE TRUSTEE A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN
REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF THIS
NOTE (THE FORM OF WHICH LETTER CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE TRUSTEE) AND, IF SUCH
TRANSFER IS IN RESPECT OF AN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOTES AT THE TIME OF
TRANSFER OF LESS THAN $250,000, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY
THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT OR (F) PURSUANT TO
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND, IN EACH CASE,
IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL

RELATING TO THE MANNER OF SUCH TRANSFER AND SUBMIT THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE
TRUSTEE. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS "OFFSHORE TRANSACTION," "UNITED STATES" AND
"U.S. PERSON" HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY RULE 902 OF REGULATION S UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT. THE INDENTURE CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE TRUSTEE TO
REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING
RESTRICTIONS."

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or Definitive
         Note issued pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(4), (c)(3), (c)(4), (d)(2),
         (d)(3), (e)(2) or (e)(3) of this Section 2.06 (and all Notes issued in
         exchange therefor or substitution thereof) will not bear the Private
         Placement Legend.

                  (2)      Global Note Legend.  Each Global Note will bear a
         legend in substantially the following form:

"THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE
GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL
OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED

UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE
FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE 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. UNLESS THIS
CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST
COMPANY (55 WATER STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK) ("DTC"), TO THE COMPANY OR ITS
AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE

REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO
CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER
HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN."

                  (3)      Regulation S Temporary Global Note Legend.  The
         Regulation S Temporary Global Note will bear a legend in substantially
         the following form:

"THE RIGHTS ATTACHING TO THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE, AND THE
CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING ITS EXCHANGE FOR CERTIFICATED NOTES, ARE AS
SPECIFIED IN THE INDENTURE (AS DEFINED HEREIN). NEITHER THE HOLDER NOR THE
BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE ENTITLED
TO RECEIVE PAYMENT OF INTEREST HEREON."

         (h) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all
beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for
Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or
canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or
retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11. At any
time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is
exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes,
the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced
accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee
or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction;
and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person
who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another
Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an
endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary
at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

         (i)      General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

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

                  (2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a Global
         Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of
         transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum
         sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge
         payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or
         similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant
         to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05).

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

                  (4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any
         registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive
         Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuers, evidencing the same
         debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
         Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of
         transfer or exchange.

                  (5)      The Issuers will not be required:

                                       57
<PAGE>

                           (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to
                  exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of
                  business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for
                  redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of
                  business on the day of selection;

                           (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any
                  Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the
                  unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

                           (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note
                  between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment
                  date.

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

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

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

Section 2.07  Replacement Notes.

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

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

Section 2.08  Outstanding Notes.

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

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

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

                                       58
<PAGE>

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

Section 2.09  Treasury Notes.

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

Section 2.10  Temporary Notes.

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

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

Section 2.11  Cancellation.

         The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.
Upon receipt of written directions, the Trustee and no one else will cancel all
Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement
or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention
requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all
canceled Notes will be delivered to the Issuers. The Issuers may not issue new
Notes to replace Notes that they have paid or that have been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12  Defaulted Interest.

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

Section 2.13  Same Day Settlement and Payment.

         The Issuers will make payments in respect of the Notes represented by
the Global Notes

                                       59
<PAGE>

(including principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if
any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified
by the Holder of the Global Note. The Issuers will make all payments of
principal, interest and premium and Special Interest, if any, with respect to
Definitive Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts
specified by the Holders of the Definitive Notes or, if no such account is
specified, by mailing a check to each such Holder's registered address.

         Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear
or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a
Participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to
the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities
settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and
Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised
the Issuers that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales
of interests in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream
participant to a Participant in DTC will be received with value on the
settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or
Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or
Clearstream following DTC's settlement date.

                            REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01  Notices to Trustee.

         If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer's
Certificate setting forth:

                  (1)      the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the
         redemption shall occur;

                  (2)      the redemption date;

                  (3)      the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and

                  (4)      the redemption price.

Section 3.02  Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

         If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an
offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or
purchase on a pro rata basis except:

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

                  (2)      if otherwise required by law.

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

                                       60
<PAGE>

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

Section 3.03  Notice of Redemption.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09, at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be
mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes
are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may
be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued
in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture pursuant to Article 8 or 12 of this Indenture. Notices of
redemption may not be conditional.

         The notice will identify the Note(s) to be redeemed and will state:

                  (1)      the redemption date;

                  (2)      the redemption price;

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

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

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

                  (6) that, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption
         payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on
         and after the redemption date;

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

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

         At the Company's request, the Trustee will give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; provided, however, that the
Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption
date, an Officer's Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and
setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the
preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04  Effect of Notice of Redemption.

                                       61
<PAGE>

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

Section 3.05  Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

         Not less than one Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase
price date, the Issuers will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent
money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest
and Special Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that
date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuers any
money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of
the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued
interest and Special Interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or
purchased.

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

Section 3.06  Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

         Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the
Issuers will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee
will authenticate for the Holder, at the expense of the Company, a new Note
equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered.

Section 3.07  Optional Redemption.

         The Issuers may not redeem all or any part of the Notes prior to April
1, 2007. On or after April 1, 2007, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the
Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at the

the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.

Section 3.09  Offer to Purchase by Application of Net Proceeds.

         In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10, the Issuers are required
or elect to commence an Asset Sale Offer, they will follow the procedures
specified below.

         Within 30 days following the receipt by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries of Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, Casualty Event or Condemnation
Event, in the case of an Asset Sale Offer described in clause (1) of the second
paragraph of Section 4.10, or upon completion of a prior required Asset Sale
Offer (and any associated mandatory purchase, prepayment or redemption), in the
case of an Asset Sale Offer described in clause (2) or (3) of the second
paragraph of Section 4.10, the Issuers will mail a notice to the Trustee and
each Holder regarding such Asset Sale Offer. The notice will contain all
instructions and materials necessary to enable the Holders to tender Notes
pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the
Asset Sale Offer, will state:

                  (1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to
         this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10;

                  (2) the amount of Net Proceeds being offered to purchase Notes
         and other First Priority Lien Obligations (the "Offer Amount"), the
         purchase price and the date on which the purchase will be made (the
         "Purchase Date"), which date will be no earlier than 30 and no later
         than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed;

                  (3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment
         will continue to accrue interest;

                  (4) that, unless the Issuers default in making such payment,
         any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will
         cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

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

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

                  (7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election
         if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
         receives, not later than two Business Days before the Purchase Date, a
         facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder,
         the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and
         a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such
         Note purchased;

                  (8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other
         First Priority Lien Obligations tendered in the Asset Sale Offer (or
         required to be purchased, prepaid or redeemed) exceeds the Offer
         Amount, the Company will select the Notes and other First Priority Lien
         Obligations to be purchased, prepaid or redeemed on a pro rata basis
         based on the principal amount of Notes and such other First Priority
         Lien Obligations tendered (or required to be

                                       63
<PAGE>

         purchased, prepaid or redeemed), with such adjustments as may be deemed
         appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of
         $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, will be purchased, prepaid or
         redeemed; and

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

         On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuers will, to the extent lawful,
accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer
Amount of Notes and other First Priority Lien Obligations or portions thereof
tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer (or required to be purchased, prepaid
or redeemed), or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered (or is required
to be purchased, prepaid or redeemed), all Notes and other First Priority Lien
Obligations tendered (or required to be purchased, prepaid or redeemed), and
will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted
together with an Officer's Certificate stating that such Notes or portions
thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuers in accordance with the terms of
this Section 3.09. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same
manner as interest payments are made. The Issuers, the Depositary or the Paying
Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five
days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount
equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by
the Issuers for purchase, and the Issuers will promptly issue a new Note, and
the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuers, will authenticate and mail
or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such
Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by
the Issuers to the Holder thereof. The Issuers will publicly announce the
results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

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

         The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each
repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of
this Section 3.09 or Section 4.10, the Issuers will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their
obligations under this Section 3.09 or Section 4.10 by virtue of such
compliance.

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

                                   COVENANTS

Section 4.01  Payment of Notes.

         The Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and premium,
if any, interest and Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes on the dates and in
the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, interest and
Special Interest, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying
Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 10:00 a.m.
Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately
available funds and designated for and sufficient

                                       64
<PAGE>

any, then due. The Company will pay all Special Interest, if any, in the same
manner on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement.

         The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to
1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the
extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and
Special Interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same
rate to the extent lawful.

Section 4.02      Maintenance of Office or Agency.

         The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New
York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate
of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company
fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

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

         The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee
as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03.

in the SEC's rules and regulations:

                  (1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to
         be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were
         required to file such reports; and

                  (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed
         with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such
         reports.

All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with
all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report
on Form 10-K will include a report on the Company's consolidated financial

following consummation of the Exchange Offer contemplated by the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Company will file a copy of each of the reports referred
to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public availability within the
time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports
(unless the SEC will not accept such a filing or the Company has elected to pay

                                       65

<PAGE>

Special Interest in lieu of complying with the registration requirements of the
Registration Rights Agreement) and will post the reports on its website within
those time periods.

         If the Company is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of
the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will nevertheless file the reports
specified in the preceding paragraphs of this covenant with the SEC within the
time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing or the
Company has elected to pay Special Interest in lieu of complying with the
registration requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement. However, if the
Company does not file any such reports with the SEC, the Company will post the
reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website within the time
periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with
the SEC.

         In addition, the Company and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as
any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file with
the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, they will furnish to
the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their
request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Securities Act.

Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default
of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her
knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.03(1) above shall be accompanied by a
written statement of the Company's independent public accountants (who shall be
a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination
necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to
their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has violated
any provisions of Article 4 or Article 5 or, if any such violation has occurred,
specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being understood that
such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any Person for
any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

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

                  that is cured as a result of such Restricted Payment); and

         renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or
         refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole,
         with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those
         contained in those agreements on the Closing Date;

                  (3) any applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

         of any Expansion Debt incurred pursuant to clause (3) of the definition
         of Permitted Debt; provided, that such encumbrance or restriction will
         not materially adversely affect the Company's ability to meet its
         obligations on the Notes when due, and, in the written opinion of the
         president, chief operating officer or chief financial officer of the
         Company, is required in order to obtain such Expansion Debt and is

Section 4.09      Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Equity.

         The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise

                  Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time
                  outstanding under this clause (1)(a) (with letters of credit
                  being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum
                  potential liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries
                  thereunder) not to exceed $800.0 million, less the

                  Events or Condemnation Events applied by the Company or any of
                  its Subsidiaries since the Closing Date to repay any term
                  Indebtedness under any such Credit Facility or to repay, or
                  cash collateralize letters of credit under, any revolving
                  Indebtedness under any such Credit Facility and effect a
                  corresponding commitment reduction thereunder; and

                            (b) Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit
                  Facilities in an aggregate principal amount outstanding under

                  have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential
                  liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries thereunder) not
                  to exceed $100.0 million, less the aggregate amount of all Net
                  Proceeds of Asset Sales, Casualty Events and Condemnation
                  Events applied by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since
                  the Closing Date to repay any term Indebtedness under any such
                  Credit Facility or to repay, or cash collateralize letters of
                  credit under, any revolving Indebtedness under any such Credit
                  Facility and effect a corresponding commitment reduction
                  thereunder;

                  (2) the incurrence by the Issuers and the Guarantors of
         Indebtedness represented by the Notes, the Second Priority Notes and
         the Third Priority Notes to be issued on the Closing Date, the related
         Subsidiary guarantees and the other Obligations incurred under the
         Indentures on the Closing Date, and the Exchange Notes and the related
         Subsidiary guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights
         Agreement;

                  (3) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
         of Expansion Debt; provided, that:

                           (a) any Expansion Debt incurred by the Excluded
                  Subsidiary is recourse only to the Expansion Assets financed
                  with such Expansion Debt and to other Expansion Assets owned
                  by the Excluded Subsidiary (including any rights of the
                  Excluded Subsidiary under Shared Facilities Arrangements);

                           (b) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the
                  Company's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for
                  which internal financial statements are available immediately
                  preceding the date on which the Expansion Debt is incurred
                  would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a Pro Forma
                  basis as if the Expansion Debt had been incurred at the
                  beginning of such period and the proceeds therefrom had been
                  applied as intended to be applied (but without giving effect
                  to the completion of any construction projects unless actual
                  completion has been achieved), at least 25% of the cost of
                  such Expansion Assets is financed with Equity Contributions or
                  the proceeds of Perpetual Preferred Stock or Affiliate
                  Subordinated Indebtedness;

                           (c) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the
                  Company's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for
                  which internal financial statements are available immediately
                  preceding the date on which the Expansion Debt is incurred
                  would have been less than 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a Pro
                  Forma basis as if the Expansion Debt had been incurred at the
                  beginning of such period and the proceeds therefrom had been
                  applied as intended to be applied (but without giving effect
                  to the completion of any construction projects unless actual
                  completion has been achieved),

                                    (i) at least 40% of the cost of such
                           Expansion Assets is financed with Equity
                           Contributions or the proceeds of Perpetual Preferred
                           Stock or Affiliate Subordinated Indebtedness, and

                                    (ii) after giving effect to such incurrence,
                           the amount of Expansion Debt incurred pursuant to
                           this clause (3), together with the aggregate amount
                           of all other Expansion Debt then outstanding,
                           including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness
                           incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace,
                           defease or discharge any Expansion Debt incurred
                           pursuant to this clause (3), does not exceed $250.0
                           million;

                  (4) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
         of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net
         proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace,
         Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted
         by this Indenture to be incurred under clauses (2), (3), (4) or (10) of
         this paragraph;

                  (5) the incurrence by the Company or any Guarantor of
         intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any
         Guarantor that is subordinated in right of payment to all Secured
         Obligations pursuant to a customary subordination agreement delivered
         to the Collateral Agent (together with all other documents or
         instruments required to effect such subordination and any other
         documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in connection
         therewith), and is not secured other than by unperfected security
         interests; provided, however, that (i) any subsequent issuance or
         transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness
         being held by a Person other than the Company or a Guarantor and (ii)
         any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is
         not either the Company or a Guarantor will be deemed, in each case, to
         constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such
         Guarantor, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause
         (5); and provided, further, that any such intercompany Indebtedness
         must be included in the Collateral;

                  (6) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
         of Hedging Obligations, in connection with Permitted Debt or otherwise,
         in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;
         provided, that (a) such Hedging Obligations have tenors that expire on
         or prior to the maturity date (or other expiration) of the underlying
         obligation being hedged, and (b) any such Hedging Obligations hedging
         or managing interest rate risk with respect to (i) First Priority Lien
         Debt have tenors that expire on or prior to the Stated Maturity of the
         Notes, (ii) Second Priority Lien Debt have tenors that expire on or
         prior to the Stated Maturity of the Second Priority Notes, or (iii)
         Third Priority Lien Debt have tenors that expire on or prior to the
         Stated Maturity of the Third Priority Notes;

                  (7) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
         of Indebtedness in respect of workers' compensation claims,
         self-insurance obligations, bankers' acceptances, and performance and
         surety bonds in the ordinary course of business;

                  (8) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
         of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial
         institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn
         against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered
         within five Business Days;

                  (9) the incurrence by the Company of (a) Affiliate
         Subordinated Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to
         exceed $250.0 million at any one time outstanding and (b) Working
         Capital Facility Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to
         exceed $750.0 million at any one time outstanding;

                  (10) the incurrence by the Company of Third Party Subordinated
         Indebtedness; provided, that:

                                       71
<PAGE>

                           (a) the net proceeds of the Third Party Subordinated
                  Indebtedness are applied:

                                    (i) to acquire all or substantially all of
                           the assets of, or any Equity Interests in, a business
                           that constitutes a Permitted Business; provided, that
                           in the case of an acquisition of Equity Interests,
                           the business is or becomes a Subsidiary of the
                           Company and a Guarantor concurrently with such
                           acquisition;

                                    (ii) to make a capital expenditure;

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

                                    (iv) any combination of the foregoing; and

                           (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company's
                  most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which
                  internal financial statements are available immediately
                  preceding the date on which the Third Party Subordinated
                  Indebtedness is incurred would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0,
                  determined on a Pro Forma basis as if the Third Party
                  Subordinated Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning
                  of such period and the proceeds therefrom had been applied as
                  intended to be applied (but without giving effect to the
                  completion of any construction projects unless actual
                  completion has been achieved).

         The Company will not incur, and will not permit any Subsidiary to
incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or
such Subsidiary unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in
right of payment to the Secured Obligations on substantially identical terms or
on terms that are more favorable to the holders of the Secured Obligations;
provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being
secured on a junior basis.

         For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the
event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one
of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (10) above,
the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date
of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of
Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. The accrual of
interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment
of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the
same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of
additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to
be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for
purposes of this covenant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant,
the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Subsidiary may incur
pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result
of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

Section 4.10      Asset Sales.

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

                                       72
<PAGE>

                  (1) except with respect to an Asset Sale made pursuant to an
         Existing Purchase Option, the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries, as
         the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale
         at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity
         Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;

                  (2) at least 90% of the consideration received in the Asset
         Sale by the Company or such Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For
         purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be
         cash:

                           (a) any liabilities, as shown on the Company's most
                  recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Company or any of
                  its Subsidiaries (other than contingent liabilities and
                  liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes
                  or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the
                  transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation
                  or similar agreement that releases the Company or such
                  Subsidiary from further liability;

                           (b) any securities, notes or other obligations
                  received by the Company or any such Subsidiary from such
                  transferee that are promptly, subject to ordinary settlement
                  periods, converted by the Company or such Subsidiary into
                  cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;
                  and

                           (c) in connection with the exercise by a purchaser of
                  an Existing Purchase Option, any amount owed by the Company or
                  the applicable Subsidiary to the purchaser under the agreement
                  containing such Existing Purchase Option that is set off by
                  the purchaser against the purchase price;

                  (3) if the assets disposed of in such Asset Sale include any
         component of a Facility that is necessary for the operation of such
         Facility, the Asset Sale involves the disposition of such Facility as a
         whole; and

                  (4) if the Asset Sale involves the sale of a Facility or all
         or substantially all the assets of a Facility, (a) such Asset Sale is
         to a Person other than an Affiliate of the Company, and (b) all
         necessary amendments are made to those Major Project Documents
         applicable to such Facility to remove such Facility from the scope of
         such Major Project Documents.

         The Company and its Subsidiaries will be required to use the Net
Proceeds from any Asset Sale, Casualty Event or Condemnation Event to make an
offer (an "Asset Sale Offer"):

                           (1) first, to all holders of Notes and all holders of
                 other First Priority Lien Obligations (to the extent required
                 under the applicable First Priority Lien Documents) to
                 purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of
                 Notes and such other First Priority Lien Obligations that may
                 be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of such Net Proceeds
                 (taking into account any mandatory purchase, prepayment or
                 redemption of First Priority Lien Obligations required under
                 any First Priority Lien Document);

                           (2) second, if any such Net Proceeds remain after the
                 offer to holders of First Priority Lien Obligations (and any
                 mandatory purchase, prepayment or redemption of First Priority
                 Lien Obligations) in accordance with clause (1) above, to all
                 holders of Second Priority Notes and all holders of other
                 Second Priority Lien Obligations (to the extent required under
                 the applicable Second Priority Lien Documents) to purchase,
                 prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Second
                 Priority Notes and such other Second

                                       73
<PAGE>

                 Priority Lien Obligations that may be purchased, prepaid or
                 redeemed out of such remaining Net Proceeds (taking into
                 account any mandatory purchase, prepayment or redemption of
                 Second Priority Lien Obligations required under any Second
                 Priority Lien Document); and

                           (3) third, if any such Net Proceeds remain after the
                 offer to holders of First Priority Lien Obligations and Second
                 Priority Lien Obligations (and any mandatory purchase,
                 prepayment or redemption of First Priority Lien Obligations and
                 Second Priority Lien Obligations) in accordance with clauses
                 (1) and (2) above, to all holders of Third Priority Notes and
                 all holders of other Third Priority Lien Obligations (to the
                 extent required under the applicable Third Priority Lien
                 Documents) to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal
                 amount of Third Priority Notes and such other Third Priority
                 Lien Obligations that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out
                 of such remaining Net Proceeds (taking into account any
                 mandatory purchase, prepayment or redemption of Third Priority
                 Lien Obligations required under any Third Priority Lien
                 Document).

         The Issuers may, at their sole option, make an Asset Sale Offer in
accordance with the priorities described above with the net proceeds from any
sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of any assets or rights not
constituting an Asset Sale. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be
equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Special Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash.
If any of such Net Proceeds remain after consummation of the Asset Sale Offer,
the Company and its Subsidiaries may use those excess Net Proceeds for any
purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, including the making of
Restricted Payments in accordance with Section 4.07. If the aggregate principal
amount of Notes and other First Priority Lien Obligations tendered into such
Asset Sale Offer or required to be purchased, prepaid or redeemed exceeds the
amount of Net Proceeds available therefor, the Issuers will purchase, prepay or
redeem Notes and such other First Priority Lien Obligations on a pro rata basis
based on the principal amount of Notes and such other First Priority Lien
Obligations tendered (or required to be purchased, prepaid or redeemed), with
such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes
in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, will be purchased,
prepaid or redeemed. The Issuers will comply with the procedures set forth in
Section 3.09 with respect to any Asset Sale Offer.

Section 4.11      Transactions with Affiliates.

         The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its
properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into
or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan,
advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company
(each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

                  (1) the Affiliate Transaction, taken as a whole with all other
         related Affiliate Transactions, is on terms that are no less favorable
         to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, than those that
         would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or
         such Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

                  (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee (other than with
         respect to a Shared Facilities Arrangement between or among the Company
         and/or any of its Subsidiaries):

                           (a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
                  series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
                  consideration in excess of $10.0 million but less than or

                                       74
<PAGE>

                  equal to $25.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors
                  set forth in an Officer's Certificate certifying that such
                  Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that
                  such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of
                  the Board of Directors; and

                           (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
                  series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
                  consideration in excess of $25.0 million, a positive opinion
                  as to the Fair Market Value of such Affiliate Transaction
                  issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm
                  of national standing.

         The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions
and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

                  (1) any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer
         and director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement
         entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary
         course of business;

                  (2) transactions between or among the Company and/or any of
         the Guarantors (other than Shared Facility Arrangements);

                  (3) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the
         Company (but not a Subsidiary of the Company) solely because the
         Company owns, directly or through a Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in,
         or controls, such Person;

                  (4) payment of reasonable directors' fees to Persons who are
         not otherwise Affiliates of the Company;

                  (5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified
         Stock) of the Company to Affiliates of the Company; provided, that such
         Equity Interests are included in the Collateral;

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

                  (7) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of
         business not to exceed $1.0 million in the aggregate at any one time
         outstanding;

                  (8) Permitted Tax Payments;

                  (9) transactions under or pursuant to written agreements with
         Affiliates of the Company in place as of the Closing Date or any
         amendment or modification thereto, so long as any such amendment or
         modification meets the requirements of clause (10) or (11) of this
         paragraph;

                  (10) any amendments or modifications of, or waivers under, any
         written agreement described under clause (9) of this paragraph that is
         not a Major Project Document; provided, that no such amendment,
         modification or waiver alters any such agreement in a manner that is
         materially adverse to the Holders;

                  (11) any amendments or modifications of, or waivers under, any
         Major Project Document, which are permitted by Section 4.13 and are on
         terms that are no less favorable to the Company or its relevant
         Subsidiary (as certified to the Trustee in an Officer's Certificate)
         than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by
         the Company or such Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

                                       75
<PAGE>

                  (12) any agreement to do any of the foregoing.

Section 4.12      Liens.

         The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any
kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

Section 4.13      Business Activities.

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

         The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, perform all their
obligations under the Major Project Documents, and the Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, terminate, amend or otherwise
modify, or consent to any termination, amendment or modification of, or grant
any waiver under, any Major Project Document, unless any failure to so perform
or any such termination, amendment, modification or waiver would not, when taken
together with all other such failures to perform, terminations, amendments,
modifications and waivers since the Closing Date, be Materially Adverse, as
evidenced by a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company;
provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph will not apply to any
amendment, modification or termination of any Major Project Document required
under this Indenture in connection with an Asset Sale.

         The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, obtain and
maintain all permits and approvals necessary for the construction and operation
of the Facilities, including applicable exemptions from PUHCA, unless the
failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

         The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
use or dispose of any hazardous materials or allow any hazardous materials to be
brought onto or stored or used on or transported to or released from the
Facilities, other than in accordance with prudent industry practices and in
compliance with all applicable environmental laws, except to the extent such
non-compliance, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.14      Corporate Existence.

         Subject to Article 5, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

                  (1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or
         other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the
         respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from
         time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary; and

                  (2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and
         franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that
         the Company will not be required to preserve any such right, license or
         franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of
         its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the
         preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the
         business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and
         that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the
         Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.15      Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

         (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuers will make
an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each Holder to repurchase all or any
part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of such Holder's Notes
at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on the
Notes repurchased, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the "Change of
Control Payment"), subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date
to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days
following any Change of Control, the Issuers will mail a notice to each Holder
describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control
and stating:

                  (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to
         this Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for
         payment;

                  (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be
         no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such
         notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date");

                  (3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue
         interest;

                  (4) that, unless the Issuers default in the payment of the
         Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to
         the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the
         Change of Control Payment Date;

                  (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant
         to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes,
         with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the
         reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address
         specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third
         Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

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

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

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

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

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

                                       77
<PAGE>

                  (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the
         Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes
         properly tendered; and

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

         The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee, at the
written request of the Company, will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to
be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided,
that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral
multiple thereof.

         The Issuers will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control
Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

         The provisions described above that require the Issuers to make a
Change of Control Offer following a Change in Control will be applicable whether
or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. Except as
described above with respect to a Change in Control, this Indenture does not
contain provisions that permit the Holders to require that the Issuers
repurchase or redeem the Notes in event of a takeover, recapitalization or
similar transaction.

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

Section 4.16      Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Equity Interests in
Subsidiaries.

         The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equity Interests in
any Subsidiary of the Company to any Person (other than the Company or a
Guarantor), unless:

                  (1) such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other
         disposition is of all the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary; and

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

         In addition, the Company will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company
to issue any of its Equity Interests (other than, if necessary, shares of its
Capital Stock constituting directors' qualifying shares) to any Person other
than to the Company or a Guarantor.

Section 4.17      Payments for Consent.

         The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the
benefit of any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or
amendment of any of the terms or provisions of any Note Document unless such

                                       78
<PAGE>

consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders that consent,
waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation
documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Section 4.18      Restrictions on Activities of CalGen Finance.

         CalGen Finance will not hold any material assets, become liable for any
material obligations or engage in any significant business activities; provided,
that CalGen Finance may be a co-obligor or guarantor with respect to
Indebtedness if the Company is an obligor on such Indebtedness and the net
proceeds of such Indebtedness are received by the Company, CalGen Finance or one
or more of the Company's other Subsidiaries.

Section 4.19      Deposit of Revenues.

         The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, deposit all
revenues received by the Company and its Subsidiaries, within 10 Business Days
of receipt thereof, in the "Revenue Account" established under the Control
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excess Cash Flow may be distributed in
accordance with Section 4.07.

Section 4.20      Additional Subsidiaries.

         If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acquires or creates another
Subsidiary after the Closing Date, then (1) that newly acquired or created
Subsidiary will become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture in the
form of Exhibit G and deliver an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee within 30 days of the date on which it was acquired or created, and
(2) all real and personal property of that Subsidiary will become part of the
Collateral within 30 days of the date on which that Subsidiary was acquired or
created pursuant to documentation (including Security Documents, financing
statements, opinions and other documents) reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
and the Collateral Agent.

Section 4.21      Maintenance of Insurance.

         The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain with
financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance on their property
and assets (including the Collateral), in at least such amounts, with such
deductibles and against at least such risks as is customary for companies of the
same or similar size engaged in the same or similar businesses as those of the
Company and its Subsidiaries and furnish to the Collateral Agent, upon written
request, full information as to such Persons' property and liability insurance
carriers. The Company will, and will cause the Guarantors to, cause all their
insurance policies to name the Secured Parties, as a class, as additional
insureds, with a waiver of subrogation, and shall cause all their property and
casualty policies to name the Collateral Agent as loss payee (together with
other lien holders as their interests may appear), with 30 days notice of
cancellation or material change.

Section 4.22      Financial Covenants.

         The Company will cause the ratio of (x) Consolidated EBITDA to (y)
Consolidated Interest Expense, as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the
Company, to be equal to or greater than 1.05 to 1.0.

         The Company will cause the ratio of (x) the aggregate principal amount
outstanding of Notes, First Priority Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Second
Priority Notes and Second Priority Term Loans to (y) the combined Estimated Peak
Capacity of all of the Facilities (including all Facilities in operation and

                                       79
<PAGE>

under construction) owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries (expressed in
kilowatts), as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, to be equal to
or less than $235 per kilowatt.

Section 4.23      Changes in Covenants when Third Priority Notes Rated
Investment Grade.

         If on any date following the Closing Date:

                  (1) after giving effect to the suspension of covenants (and
         the Event of Default) described below in the Third Priority Indenture,
         the Third Priority Notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody's and BBB-
         or better by S&P; and &P

                  (2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
         then be continuing,

then, beginning on that day and subject to the provisions of the following
paragraph, the covenants (and the Event of Default) of this Indenture
specifically listed below will be suspended:

                  (a) Section 4.07 (Restricted Payments);

                  (b) Section 4.08 (Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions
         Affecting Subsidiaries);

                  (c) Section 4.09 (Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of
         Preferred Equity);

                  (e) Section 4.10 (Deposit of Revenues);

                  (d) Section 4.13 (Business Activities); and

                  (f) clause (9) under Section 6.01 (Events of Default).

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the rating assigned to the Third
Priority Notes by either Moody's or S&P should subsequently decline to below
Baa3 or BBB-, respectively, the foregoing covenants (and the Event of Default)
will be reinstituted with respect to the Notes as of and from the date of such
rating decline. Calculations under reinstated Section 4.07 will be made as if
such covenant had been in effect since the Closing Date except that no Default
will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made
while such covenant was suspended.

                                   ARTICLE 5.

This Section 5.01 will not apply to (A) a merger of the Company with an
Affiliate solely for the purpose of reconstituting the Company in another
jurisdiction or (B) any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other
disposition of assets between or among the Company and the Guarantors.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is permitted to reorganize
as a corporation in accordance with the procedures established herein, provided,
that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in
the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that such
reorganization is not adverse to Holders (it being recognized that such
reorganization shall not be deemed adverse to the Holders solely because (i) of
the accrual of deferred tax liabilities resulting from such reorganization or
(ii) the successor or surviving corporation (a) is subject to income tax as a
corporate entity or (b) is considered to be an "includable corporation" of an
affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended or any similar state or local law), and the Company delivers
to the Trustee such other certificates and other documents reasonably requested
by the Trustee in connection therewith.

Section 5.02 Successor Corporation Substituted.

         Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer,
lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole in a transaction that is
subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01, the
successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the
Company is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance
or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that
from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance
or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the
"Company" shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the
Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this
Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the
Company herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Company shall not be
relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes
except in the case of a sale of all of the Company's assets in a transaction
that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01.

                  interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the
                  expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness

         been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more, and such default
         shall not have been cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded,
         or such Indebtedness repaid, within 20 days of the Company or the
         applicable Subsidiary becoming aware of such default;

         provided, that such repudiation or unenforceability relates to
         Collateral with a Fair Market Value of $25.0 million or more;

                  (8) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Subsidiary
         Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable
         or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect
         or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor,
         shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee,

         aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes;

                  (9) breach by any Person (other than the Company or any of its
         Subsidiaries) of its obligations under, or termination or failure to be
         in full force and effect of, a Major Project Document (unless such
         breach, termination or failure to be in full force and effect would
         not, when taken together with all other such breaches, terminations or
         failures since the Closing Date (other than those that have been cured
         as contemplated below, including by entering into a replacement
         agreement), be Materially Adverse, as evidenced by an Officer's
         Certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company), unless with
         respect to any Major Project Document such breach is cured, or such
         Major Project Document is replaced with a substantially similar
         agreement (it being understood that (a) an agreement will be considered
         substantially similar if it would not be Materially Adverse and (b) the
         use of an Affiliate of the Company as the counterparty under an
         agreement replacing the Index Hedge will not by itself be considered
         Materially Adverse), within 60 days (or 120 days with respect to the
         Index Hedge) thereafter; and

                  (10) the Company, any of its Subsidiaries that is a

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

                           (c) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it

                  due; or

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

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

                           (b) appoints a custodian of the Company, any of its
                  Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of

                  Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of the
                  property of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries that is a
                  Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Subsidiaries that
                  taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or

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

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

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

         In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (10) or (11) of
Section 6.01, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately
without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and
payable immediately.

         The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the
Holders, rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default
(except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium or Special Interest, if
any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or
waived.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

                                       83
<PAGE>

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

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

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

         Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders
of all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium and Special Interest, if any, or interest
on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase). Upon any such
waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or
impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

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

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

         Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium,
if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, when due, no Holder may pursue
any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

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

                  (2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
         the then outstanding Notes have requested that the Trustee pursue the
         remedy;

                  (3) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security
         or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

                  (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60
         days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity;
         and

                  (5) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
         Notes then outstanding have not given the Trustee a direction
         inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

                                       84
<PAGE>

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

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and Special Interest,
if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed
in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates,
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided,
that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the
enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution
thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in
the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any
property subject to such Lien.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

         If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and
as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of
principal of, premium and Special Interest, if any, and interest remaining
unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful,
interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

         The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company
(or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall
be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to
the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to
it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such
proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured
by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends,
money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to
receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities.

         Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement, if the
Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the
money in the following order:

                                       85
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

         In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party
litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.
This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of
a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

                                    ARTICLE 7.
                                     TRUSTEE

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

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

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

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

                  (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
         conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
         correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
         opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
         this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and
         opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
         of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
         any calculations or other facts stated therein).

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

                                       86
<PAGE>

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

                  (2) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment
         made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is conclusively
         determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was
         negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

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

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

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

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

Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

         (g) In no event shall the Trustee be required to take notice of any
default or breach hereof or any Event of Default hereunder unless and until the
Trustee shall have received from a Holder of a Note

                                       87
<PAGE>

or from the Company written notice of the circumstances constituting the breach,
default or Event of Default and stating that said circumstances constitute an
Even of Default hereunder.

         (h) If the Trustee is acting as Paying Agent and/or Registrar
hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this
Article 7 will also be afforded to such Paying Agent and Registrar.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

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

Section 7.04 Trustee's Disclaimer.

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

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

         If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is
known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the
Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case
of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium or Special
Interest, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice
if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the
Notes.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

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

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

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

                                       88
<PAGE>

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

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

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

         (d) To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.07,
the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or
collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and
interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture.

         (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event
of Default specified in Section 6.01(10) or (11) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and
counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
Bankruptcy Law.

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

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

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

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

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

                                       89
<PAGE>

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

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

                  (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

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

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

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

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

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

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

         There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities and (i) in the case of the initial Trustee, that also satisfies the
eligibility requirements for a trustee under the TIA and (ii) in the case of any
successor Trustee, that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100
million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

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

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

                                       90
<PAGE>

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

                                   ARTICLE 8.
                    LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

         The Issuers may, at their option at any time, elect to have either
Section 8.02 or 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with
the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

         Upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable
to this Section 8.02, the Issuers and each of the Guarantors will, subject to
the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have
been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes
(including the Subsidiary Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below
are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal
Defeasance means that the Issuers and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid
and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes
(including the Subsidiary Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be
"outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of
this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied
all their other obligations under such Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees and this
Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder:

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

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

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

                  (4) this Article 8.

         Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuers may exercise
their option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of their
option under Section 8.03.

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

         Upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable
to this Section 8.03, the Issuers and the Guarantors will, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from each
of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09,
4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21 and 4.22 with
respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth
in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the
Notes will thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any
direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in

                                       91
<PAGE>

connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed "outstanding" for
all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes may not be
deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Subsidiary
Guarantees, the Issuers and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have
no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any
such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture
and such Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In
addition, upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable
to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(5) will not constitute Events of
Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

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

                  (1) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in
         trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States dollars,
         non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such
         amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
         recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent
         public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium
         and Special Interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the Stated
         Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and
         the Issuers must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to
         maturity or to a particular redemption date;

                  (2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02, the Issuers
         must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United
         States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

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

                           (B) since the Closing Date, there has been a change
                  in the applicable federal income tax law;

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

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

                                       92
<PAGE>

                  (4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event
         of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such
         deposit);

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

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

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

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

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

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

         Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee
will deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the request of the
Issuers any money or non-callable Government Securities held by them as provided
in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment
bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion
delivered under Section 8.04(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would
then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06 Repayment to Company.

         Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium and
Special Interest, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for
two years after such principal, premium and Special Interest, if any, or
interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on their
request or (if then held by the Issuers) will be discharged from such trust; and
the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuers
for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to

                                       93
<PAGE>

such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, will
thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the
Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street
Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,
after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the
date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money
then remaining will be repaid to the Issuers.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

         If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States
dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or
8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Issuers' and the Guarantors' obligations under this
Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees will be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03
until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such
money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided,
however, that, if the Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium or
Special Interest, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of
their obligations, the Issuers will be subrogated to the rights of the Holder of
such Note to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent.

                                   ARTICLE 9.
                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

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

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

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

                  (3) to provide for the assumption of the Issuers' obligations
         to the Holders of the Notes by a successor to the Issuers pursuant to
         Article 5;

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

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

                  (6) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral
         permitted or required by this Indenture or any of the Security
         Documents or any release of Collateral that becomes effective as set
         forth in this Indenture or any of the Security Documents;

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

                                       94
<PAGE>

                  (8) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture
         in the form of Exhibit G and/or a Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to
         the Notes.

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

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

         Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation,
Section 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15), the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Notes with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including, without
limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07,
any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Special Interest, if any,
or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an
acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this
Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent
of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the
Notes). Section 2.08 shall determine which Notes are considered to be
"outstanding" for purposes of this Section 9.02.

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

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

         After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02
becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders of Notes affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or
supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting
as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company
with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent
of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not
(with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

                                       95

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

                 (7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other
        than a payment required under Section 4.10 or Section 4.15);

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

                 (9) release any portion of the Collateral from the Liens
        created by the Security Documents except as specifically provided for in
        this Indenture and the Security Documents; or

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

Section 9.03      Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 9.04      Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Section 9.05      Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

         The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment,
supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in
exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee

                                       96

<PAGE>

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

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

Section 9.06      Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

        The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized
pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company
may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors
approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee
will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) will be fully
protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section
13.04, an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted
by this Indenture.

        statements, mortgages or other documents filed or recorded to perfect
        any Lien upon any Collateral;

                 (5) the time of taking possession or control over any
        Collateral; or

                 (6) the rules for determining priority under any law governing
        relative priorities of Liens:

        (a) all Liens at any time granted by the Company or any Guarantor to
secure any of the Secured Debt within such Class will secure, equally and
ratably, all present and future Secured Obligations within such Class; and

        (b) all proceeds of all Liens at any time granted by the Company or any
Guarantor to secure any of the Secured Debt and other Secured Obligations within
such Class will be allocated and distributed equally and ratably on account of
the Secured Debt and other Secured Obligations within such Class; provided, that
in the absence of an Event of Default, subject to the requirements set forth in
Sections 3.09 and 4.10, the Company and the Guarantors shall be entitled to
utilize cash proceeds of Collateral in the ordinary course of their business.

enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, each present and future holder of
Secured Obligations within the applicable Class, each

                                       97

as holder of Secured Obligations within such Class. The Secured Debt
Representative of each future Series of Secured Debt within a Class will be
required to deliver a Sharing Confirmation to the Collateral Agent and the
Trustee at the time of incurrence of such Series of Secured Debt.

Section 10.02     Class Voting.

        With respect to any vote to be cast by the Trustee on behalf of the
Holders in accordance with Article 4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, the
Trustee will vote all of such Notes as directed by the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding principal amount of Notes. For
purposes of such direction to the Trustee, Notes registered in the name of, or
Beneficially Owned by, the Company or an Affiliate of the Company will be deemed
not to be outstanding.

Section 10.03     [Reserved]

Section 10.04     Relative Rights.

        Nothing in the Note Documents will:

                 (1) impair, as between the Company and the holders of the
        Notes, the obligation of the Company to pay principal of, premium and
        interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with their terms or any
        other obligation of the Company or any other obligor under the Note
        Documents;

        specifically restricted or prohibited by the Collateral Trust Agreement;
        or

                 (5) restrict or prevent any Holder of Notes, the Trustee, the
        Collateral Agent or any other Person on their behalf from taking any
        lawful action in an insolvency or liquidation proceeding not
        specifically restricted or prohibited by the Collateral Trust Agreement.

Section 10.05     Release of Security Interest in Respect of Notes.

        The Collateral Agent's Liens upon the Collateral shall no longer secure
the Notes or any other Note Obligations, and the right of the holders of the
Notes and such Note Obligations to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral
Agent's Liens on Collateral shall terminate and be discharged:

                 (1) upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in
        accordance with Article 12;

                 (2) upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes
        in accordance with Article 8; or

                                       98

above, the Trustee will authorize the Collateral Agent to release the Liens on
the Collateral securing the Notes.

                                  ARTICLE 11.
                              SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Section 11.01     Guarantee.

        (a) Subject to this Article 11 and the limitations set forth in Section
13.07, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally
guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity
and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the
Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

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

                 (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of
        any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly
        paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the
        extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
        otherwise.

        Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance
so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally
obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a
guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

        (b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.07, the
Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this
Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent
by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the
recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or
any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first
against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant
that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

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

                                       99

<PAGE>

        (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of
subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed
hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for
the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction
or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of
such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due
and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the
purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right
does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 11.02     Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

        Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the
extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount
that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent
and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and
after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from
or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.03     Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee.

        To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each
Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F will be endorsed by an Officer
of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its
Officers.

        Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in
Section 11.01 will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure
to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee.

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

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

        In the event that the Company creates or acquires any Subsidiary after
the Closing Date, if required by Section 4.21, the Company will cause such
Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.21 and this Article 11, to
the extent applicable.

Section 11.04     Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

        Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.05, no Guarantor may sell or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate
with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving
Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, except as
permitted by Section 4.10.

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

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

Section 11.05     Releases Following Sale of Assets.

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

        Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary
Guarantee will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest
and premium and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes and for the other
obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article
11.

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 12.01     Satisfaction and Discharge.

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

                 (1) either:

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

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

                 (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
        continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such
        deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or
        constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuers
        are or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuers are or any
        Guarantor is bound;

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

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

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

        Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if
money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause
(1) of this Section 12.01, the provisions of Section 12.02 and Section 8.06 will
survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 will be deemed to discharge
those provisions of Section 7.07, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 12.02     Application of Trust Money.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in
accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including either Issuer acting

                                      102

<PAGE>

as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto,
of the principal (and premium and Special Interest, if any) and interest for
whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

        If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental
Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company's and any Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture and the Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 12.01; provided, that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal
of, premium or Special Interest, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or
Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

        The Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee, by notice to the others, may
designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or

        All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) will
be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally
delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage
prepaid, if mailed; when receipt acknowledged, if sent by facsimile; and the
next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air

        Any notice or communication to a Holder will be mailed by first class

courier guaranteeing next day delivery to its address shown on the register kept
by the Registrar. Any notice or communication will also be so mailed to any
Person described in TIA ss. 313(c), to the extent required by the TIA. Failure
to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it will not
affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.

        If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above
within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee
receives it.

        If the Company mails a notice or communication to Holders, it will mail
a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

Section 13.03     Communication by Holders of Notes with Other Holders of Notes.

        Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA ss. 312(b) with other Holders
with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes. The Company, the
Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA ss.
312(c).

Section 13.04     Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent.

        Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take
any action under this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee:

                 (1) an Officer's Certificate in form and substance reasonably
        satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set forth
        in Section 13.05) stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all
        conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for in this
        Indenture relating to the proposed action have been satisfied; and

                                      104

<PAGE>

                  (2) an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably
         satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set
         forth in Section 13.05) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel,
         all such conditions precedent and covenants have been satisfied.

Section 13.05 Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion.

         Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition
or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than a certificate provided
pursuant to TIA ss. 314(a)(4)) must comply with the provisions of TIA ss. 314(e)
and must include:

                  (1) a statement that the Person making such certificate or
         opinion has read such covenant or condition;

                  (2) 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;

                  (3) a statement that, in the opinion of such 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 satisfied; and

                  (4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such
         Person, such condition or covenant has been satisfied.

Section 13.06 Rules by Trustee and Agents.

         The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of
Holders. The Registrar or Paying Agent may make reasonable rules and set
reasonable requirements for its functions.

Section 13.07 Non-Recourse; No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers,
Employees and Stockholders.

    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Indenture, the
Notes, any Security Document or any other Note Document, the Notes and the
Subsidiary Guarantees are non-recourse secured obligations of the Company and
Guarantors, respectively. The only recourse a Holder will have with respect to
the payment of principal of, or interest or premium on, the Notes (whether under
the Indenture or the Notes, or pursuant to the Subsidiary Guarantees) will be
enforcement of its rights against CalGen Finance under this Indenture or against
the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents. The Holders will have no
recourse to the equity or assets of the Excluded Subsidiary.

    No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, or partner of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as such, will have any liability for any
obligations of the Issuers or any of its Subsidiaries under the Notes, this
Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Security Documents, or for any claim
based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.
The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal
securities laws.

Section 13.08 Governing Law.

         THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO
CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

                                      105
<PAGE>

WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT
THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED
THEREBY.

Section 13.09 No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

         This Indenture may not be used to interpret any other indenture, loan
or debt agreement of the Company or its Subsidiaries or of any other Person. Any
such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this
Indenture.

Section 13.10 Successors.

         All agreements of the Issuers in this Indenture and the Notes will bind
their respective successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture
will bind its successors. All agreements of each Guarantor in this Indenture
will bind its successors, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.05.

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

Section 13.12 Counterpart Originals.

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

         interest and Special Interest, if any, semiannually in arrears on
         January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year or, if any such
         day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each,
         an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the
         most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has
         been paid, from the date of issuance; provided, that if there is no
         existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is
         authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and
         the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from
         such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the
         first Interest Payment Date will be July 1, 2004. The Issuers will pay
         interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
         Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to
         time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate
         then in effect. The Issuers will pay interest (including post-petition
         interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
         installments of interest and Special Interest (without regard to any
         applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate
         to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
         360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

                  "Applicable First Priority LIBOR Rate" means, for each
         interest period, 375 basis points over the rate determined by the
         Company (notice of such rate to be sent to the Trustee by the Company
         on the date of determination thereof) equal to the greater of (x)
         1.250% or (y) the applicable British Bankers' Association LIBOR rate
         for deposits in U.S. dollars for a period of one, two, three or six

         such British Bankers' Association LIBOR rate is available to the
         Company, the Applicable First Priority LIBOR Rate for the relevant
         interest period shall instead be the rate at which Morgan Stanley

                  (2)      METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on
         the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Special Interest, if any, to
         the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of
         business on the December 15, March 15, June 15 or September 15

         canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment
         Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect
         to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal,
         premium, interest and Special Interest, if any, at the office or agency
         of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City
         and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of
         interest and Special Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to
         the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders;
         provided, that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds
         will be required with respect to principal of, and interest, premium
         and Special Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes
         the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to

         currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is
         legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

                  (3)      PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. The Company, on behalf of
         itself and CalGen Finance, will maintain an office or agency where
         Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
         ("Registrar") and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for
         payment ("Paying Agent"). The Registrar will keep a register of the
         Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers may appoint one
         or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The
         term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term "Paying Agent"
         includes any additional paying agent. The Issuers may change any Paying
         Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will
         notify the Trustee in writing of the name and

                                  EXHIBIT A-4
<PAGE>

         address of any Agent not a party to the Indenture. If the Issuers fail
         to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the
         Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may
         act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Issuers initially appoint The
         Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the
         Global Notes. The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as the
         Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the
         Global Notes.

                  (4)      INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under a First
         Priority Indenture, dated as of March 23, 2004 (the "Indenture"), among
         the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes
         include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
         Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
         (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such
         terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a
         statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note
         conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions
         of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured
         obligations of the Company and CalGen Finance limited to $235.0 million
         in aggregate principal amount. The Notes are secured on a
         first-priority basis, Equally and Ratably with all other First Priority
         Lien Obligations, by (a) a security interest in all the assets of the
         Company and the Guarantors other than Excluded Assets, and (b) a pledge
         of the equity interests in the Company and CalGen Expansion Company,
         LLC, subject to Permitted Prior Liens.

                  (5)      OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. The Issuers may not redeem all
         or any part of the Notes prior to April 1, 2007. On or after April 1,
         2007, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less
         than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at the redemption prices
         (expressed at percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus
         accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes
         redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the
         twelve-month period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below,
         subject to the rights of the Holders on the relevant record date to
         receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

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

                  (6)      MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuers will not be
         required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with
         respect to the Notes.

                  (7)      REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER..

                           (a)      Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control,
         the Issuers will make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each
         Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral
         multiple of $1,000) of such Holder's Notes at a purchase price in cash
         equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued
         and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes
         purchased, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the
         rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due
         on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any
         Change of Control, the Issuers will mail a notice to each Holder
         describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change
         of Control and

                                  EXHIBIT A-5
<PAGE>

         stating the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as
         required by Section 4.15 of the Indenture.

                           (b)      The Issuers will be required to use the Net
         Proceeds from any Asset Sale, Casualty Event or Condemnation Event to
         offer to prepay Notes and other First Priority Lien Obligations (an
         "Asset Sale Offer"). The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be
         equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest
         and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes purchased, to, but
         excluding, the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash, subject
         to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive
         interest due on the relevant interest payment date. If the aggregate
         principal amount of Notes and other First Priority Lien Obligations
         tendered into such Asset Sale Offer (or required to be purchased,
         prepaid or redeemed) exceeds the amount of Net Proceeds available
         therefor, the Trustee will select the Notes and such other First
         Priority Lien Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis.

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

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

                  (10)     PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a
         Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

                  (11)     AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain
         exceptions and the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the
         Subsidiary Guarantees and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with
         the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
         principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents
         obtained in connection with a purchase or tender offer or exchange
         offer for Notes) voting as a single class, and any existing default or
         compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Subsidiary
         Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders
         of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting
         as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder, the Indenture,
         the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Notes may be amended or supplemented
         to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
         uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes,
         to provide for the assumption of the Company's or any Guarantor's
         obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or
         consolidation, to make any change that would provide any additional
         rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
         adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such
         Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect
         or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust
         Indenture Act, to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral
         permitted or required by the Indenture

                                  EXHIBIT A-6
<PAGE>

         or any of the Security Documents or any release of Collateral that
         becomes effective as set forth in the Indenture and the Security
         Documents, to conform the text of the Indenture, the Subsidiary
         Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Notes to any provision of the
         Description of Notes in the Offering Memorandum to the extent such
         provision of the Description of Notes in the Offering Memorandum was
         intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture,
         the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Notes, or to
         allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture in the form of
         Exhibit G to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the
         Notes.

                  (12)     DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i)
         default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest or Special
         Interest, if any, on any of the Notes; (ii) default in the payment when
         due of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Notes, (iii)
         failure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with
         Section 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 or 4.19 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the
         Company or any of its Subsidiaries to observe or perform any other
         agreement in the Indenture or the Security Documents for 30 days after
         notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
         aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a
         single class; (v) default under certain other agreements relating to
         Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries which default is
         caused by the failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if
         any, on, such Indebtedness, or results in the acceleration of such
         Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; (vi) final judgments for
         the payment of money that remain undischarged for a period of 60 days,
         provided the aggregate amount of such judgments exceeds $25.0 million
         (excluding those covered by insurance); (vii) the repudiation of the
         Security Documents by the Company or a Guarantor or the
         unenforceability of the Security Documents under certain circumstances;
         (viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee
         shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid
         or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any
         Guarantor or any Person acting on its behalf shall deny or disaffirm
         its obligations under such Guarantor's Subsidiary Guarantee; (ix) the
         breach by any Person (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) of
         its obligations under, or the termination or failure to be in full
         force of, a Major Project Document, unless such breach when taken
         together with all other such breaches would not be materially adverse
         to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and (x) certain
         events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any
         of its Significant Subsidiaries. If any Event of Default occurs and is
         continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
         principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the
         Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case
         of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
         insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without
         further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the
         Notes except as provided in the Indenture and the Collateral Trust
         Agreement. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
         principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee
         in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from
         Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of
         Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment
         of principal, interest or premium or Special Interest, if any) if it
         determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of
         a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
         by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the
         Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
         consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event
         of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or
         interest or Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes. The Issuers are
         required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding
         compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuers are required upon
         becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the
         Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

                  (13)     TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its
         individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits
         from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may
         otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not
         the Trustee.

                  (14)     NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer,
         employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor,
         as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company
         or such Guarantor under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the
         Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of,
         such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note
         waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are
         part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

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

                  (16)     ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in
         the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in
         common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants

         Special Interest, if any, on, this Note (whether under the Indenture or

         Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the

                  (1)      INTEREST. Calpine Generating Company, LLC, a Delaware
         limited liability company (the "Company"), and CalGen Finance Corp., a
         Delaware corporation ("CalGen Finance" and, together with the Company,
         the "Issuers"), jointly and severally promise to pay interest on the
         principal amount of this Note at the Applicable First Priority LIBOR
         Rate (as defined below) per annum from March 23, 2004 until maturity
         and will pay the Special Interest, if any, payable pursuant to the
         Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuers will pay
         interest and Special Interest, if any, semiannually in arrears on
         January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year or, if any such
         day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each,
         an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the
         most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has
         been paid, from the date of issuance; provided, that if there is no
         existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is
         authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and
         the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from
         such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the
         first Interest Payment Date will be July 1, 2004. The Issuers will pay
         interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
         Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to
         time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate
         then in effect. The Issuers will pay interest (including post-petition
         interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
         installments of interest and Special Interest (without regard to any
         applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at

                                  EXHIBIT B-3
<PAGE>

         the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the
         basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

                  "Applicable First Priority LIBOR Rate" means, for each
         interest period, 375 basis points over the rate determined by the
         Company (notice of such rate to be sent to the Trustee by the Company
         on the date of determination thereof) equal to the greater of (x)
         1.250% or (y) the applicable British Bankers' Association LIBOR rate
         for deposits in U.S. dollars for a period of one, two, three or six
         months (as the Company may elect in an Officer's Certificate delivered
         to the Trustee as reported by any generally recognized financial
         information service as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days
         prior to the first day of such interest period; provided, that, if no
         such British Bankers' Association LIBOR rate is available to the
         Company, the Applicable First Priority LIBOR Rate for the relevant
         interest period shall instead be the rate at which Morgan Stanley
         Senior Funding, Inc. or one of its affiliate banks offers to place
         deposits in U.S. dollars with first-class banks in the London interbank
         market for a period of one, two, three or six months (as applicable) as
         of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to
         the first day of such interest period, in amounts equal to $1.0
         million.

         a party to the Indenture. If the Issuers fail to appoint or maintain
         another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as
         such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or
         Registrar. The Issuers initially appoint The Depository Trust Company
         to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The Issuers
         initially appoint the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent
         and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

                  (4)      INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under a First
         Priority Indenture, dated as of March 23, 2004 (the "Indenture"), among
         the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes
         include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
         Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
         (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such
         terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a
         statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note
         conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions
         of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured
         obligations of the Company and CalGen Finance limited to $235.0 million
         in aggregate principal amount. The Notes are secured on a
         first-priority basis, Equally and Ratably with all other First Priority
         Lien Obligations, by (a) a security interest in all the assets of the
         Company and the Guarantors other than Excluded Assets, and (b) a pledge
         of the equity interests in the Company and CalGen Expansion Company,
         LLC, subject to Permitted Prior Liens.

                  (5)      OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. The Issuers may not redeem all
         or any part of the Notes prior to April 1, 2007. On or after April 1,
         2007, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less
         than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at the redemption prices
         (expressed at percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus
         accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes
         redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the
         twelve-month period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below,
         subject to the rights of the Holders on the relevant record date to
         receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

         called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

                  (6)      MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuers will not be
         required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with
         respect to the Notes.

                  (7)      REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER..

                           (a)      Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control,
         the Issuers will make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each
         Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral
         multiple of $1,000) of such Holder's Notes at a purchase price in cash
         equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued
         and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes
         purchased, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the
         rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due
         on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any
         Change of Control, the Issuers will mail a notice to each Holder
         describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change
         of Control and stating the procedures governing the Change of Control
         Offer as required by Section 4.15 of the Indenture.

                           (b)      The Issuers will be required to use the Net
         Proceeds from any Asset Sale, Casualty Event or Condemnation Event to
         offer to prepay Notes and other First Priority Lien Obligations (an
         "Asset Sale Offer"). The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be
         equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest
         and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes purchased, to, but
         excluding, the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash, subject
         to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive
         interest due on the relevant interest payment date. If the aggregate
         principal amount of Notes and other First Priority Lien Obligations
         tendered into such Asset Sale Offer (or required to be purchased,
         prepaid or redeemed) exceeds the amount of Net Proceeds available
         therefor, the Trustee will select the Notes and such other First
         Priority Lien Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis.

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

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

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

                  (10)     PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a
         Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

                  (11)     AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain
         exceptions and the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the
         Subsidiary Guarantees and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with
         the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
         principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents
         obtained in connection with a purchase or tender offer or exchange
         offer for Notes) voting as a single class, and any existing default or
         compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Subsidiary
         Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders
         of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting
         as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder, the Indenture,
         the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Notes may be amended or supplemented
         to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
         uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes,
         to provide for the assumption of the Company's or any Guarantor's
         obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or
         consolidation, to make any change that would provide any additional
         rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
         adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such
         Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect
         or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust
         Indenture Act, to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral
         permitted or required by the Indenture or any of the Security Documents
         or any release of Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in the
         Indenture and the Security Documents, to conform the text of the
         Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Security Documents or the
         Notes to any provision of the Description of Notes in the Offering
         Memorandum to the extent such provision of the Description of Notes in
         the Offering Memorandum was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a
         provision of the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Security
         Documents or the Notes, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a
         supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit G to the Indenture and/or
         a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

                  (12)     DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i)
         default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest or Special
         Interest, if any, on any of the Notes; (ii) default in the payment when
         due of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Notes, (iii)
         failure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with
         Section 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 or 4.19 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the
         Company or any of its Subsidiaries to observe or perform any other
         agreement in the Indenture or the Security Documents for 30 days after
         notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
         aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a
         single class; (v) default under certain other agreements relating to
         Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries which default is
         caused by the failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if
         any, on, such Indebtedness, or results in the acceleration of such
         Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; (vi) final judgments for
         the payment of money that remain undischarged for a period of 60 days,
         provided the aggregate amount of such judgments exceeds $25.0 million
         (excluding those covered by insurance); (vii) the repudiation of the
         Security Documents by the Company or a Guarantor or the
         unenforceability of the Security Documents under certain circumstances;
         (viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee
         shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid
         or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any
         Guarantor or any Person acting on its behalf shall deny or disaffirm
         its obligations under such Guarantor's Subsidiary Guarantee; (ix) the
         breach by any Person (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) of
         its obligations under, or the termination or failure to be in full
         force of, a Major Project Document, unless such breach when taken
         together with all other such breaches would not be materially adverse
         to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and (x) certain
         events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any
         of its Significant Subsidiaries. If any Event of

                                  EXHIBIT B-7
<PAGE>

         Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at
         least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
         may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain
         events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become
         due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not
         enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture
         and the Collateral Trust Agreement. Subject to certain limitations,
         Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
         may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The
         Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing
         Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default
         relating to the payment of principal, interest or premium or Special
         Interest, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
         interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
         the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of
         the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of
         Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing
         Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium,
         if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes. The
         Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement
         regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuers are required
         upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to
         the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

                  (13)     TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its
         individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits
         from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may
         otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not
         the Trustee.

                  (14)     NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer,
         employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor,
         as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company
         or such Guarantor under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the
         Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of,
         such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note
         waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are
         part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

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

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

                  (17)     ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL
         NOTES AND RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. In addition to the rights
         provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted
         Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes will have all the rights
         set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 23,
         2004 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), among the Company, CalGen
         Finance, the Guarantors and the initial purchaser of the Notes.

                  (18)     CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation
         promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
         Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the
         Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as
         a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy
         of such numbers either as

                                  EXHIBIT B-8
<PAGE>

         printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and
         reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed
         thereon.

                  (19)     NON-RECOURSE. Notwithstanding anything to the
         contrary set forth in the Indenture, this Note, any Security Document
         or any other Note Document, this Note and the Subsidiary Guarantees are
         non-recourse secured obligations of the Company and Guarantors,
         respectively. The only recourse a holder of the Notes will have with
         respect to the payment of principal of, or interest or premium or
         Special Interest, if any, on, this Note (whether under the Indenture or
         the Note, or pursuant to the Subsidiary Guarantees) will be enforcement
         of its rights against CalGen Finance under the Indenture or against the
         Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents.

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

                         [FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
                    TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS]

         SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this "Supplemental Indenture"), dated as of
________________, 20__, among __________________, a ___________________ (the
"Guaranteeing Subsidiary"), Calpine Generating Company, LLC (the "Company"),
CalGen Finance Corp. ("CalGen Finance" and, together with the Company, the
"Issuers"), the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to
herein) and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee under the Indenture referred to
herein (the "Trustee").

                                   WITNESSETH

         WHEREAS, the Issuers have heretofore executed and delivered to the
Trustee a First Priority Indenture, dated as of March 23, 2004 (the
"Indenture"), providing for the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of
$235.0 million of First Priority Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009 (the
"Notes");

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

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

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

         1.       CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

         2.       AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby
agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Note Guarantee and in the Indenture, including but
not limited to Article 11 thereof, and to become bound as a "Guarantor" under
the Indenture.

         3.       NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. This Subsidiary Guarantee is a
non-recourse secured obligation of the Subsidiary Guarantor. The only recourse a
Holder of Notes will have under the Subsidiary Guarantee is enforcement of its
rights against the Collateral securing the Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to the
Security Documents. No past, present or future director, officer, employee,
incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such,
shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing
Subsidiary under the Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantee, the Indenture or this
Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason
of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a
Note waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are part of
the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to
waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the
SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

         4.       NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT
WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO

                                  EXHIBIT G-1

THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE
REQUIRED THEREBY.

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

         6.       EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

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

Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the date first above
written.

payment of principal, interest or otherwise on or in respect of the Subordinated
Debt.

                           [__].2..2. Except for the right to accept payments as
provided in Section [__].2.1 or [__].2.5(b), Junior Claimant shall not demand,
sue for or accept from the Subordinated Debtor or any other Person any such

any of the Senior Claimants rescind the acceleration of the Senior Claims, and

enforce rights with respect to the Senior Claims or the Lien of the Senior Claim
Documents. The Junior Claimant shall not take any action or otherwise act to

Liens or security interests granted to, or for the benefit of, the Senior
Claimants, (ii) the relevant rights and duties of the Senior Claimants with
respect to Junior Claimant on account of any Subordinated Debt as established in

                           [__].2.4. Each document or instrument evidencing

with any other creditor or creditors of the Subordinated Debtor in commencing
any Proceeding against the Subordinated Debtor, [CalGen, CalGen Holdings or any
Guarantor -- ADD ALL THAT ARE NOT SUBORDINATED DEBTORS], but may join in any
Proceeding after it has commenced. At any general meeting of creditors of
Subordinated Debtor, [CalGen, CalGen Holdings or any Guarantor -- ADD ALL THAT
ARE NOT SUBORDINATED DEBTORS], or in the event of any Proceeding, if all Senior
Claims have not been paid in full in cash at such time, the Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Senior Claimants is hereby irrevocably authorized at any such
meeting or in any such Proceeding:

                                    (a)      To enforce claims comprising
                  Subordinated Debt in the name of Junior Claimant, by proof of
                  debt, proof of claim, suit or otherwise;

                                    (b)      To collect any assets of the
                  Subordinated Debtor distributed, divided or applied by way of
                  dividend or payment as a result of a Proceeding, or such
                  securities issued, on account of Subordinated Debt as a result
                  thereof and apply the same, or the proceeds of any realization
                  upon the same that the Senior Claimants in their discretion
                  elect to effect, to Senior Claims until all Senior Claims
                  shall have been paid in full in cash (the Senior Claimants
                  hereby agreeing to render any surplus to Junior Claimant
                  and/or other subordinated creditors, as their interests
                  appear, or to interplead such surplus with a court of
                  competent jurisdiction); and

                                    (c)      To take generally any action in
                  connection with any such meeting or proceeding which Junior
                  Claimant might otherwise take in respect of the Subordinated
                  Debt and claims relating thereto.

                                    After the commencement of any such
Proceeding, Junior Claimant may inquire in writing of the Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Senior Claimants whether the respective Senior Claimants intend to
exercise the foregoing rights with respect to the Subordinated Debt. Should the
Senior Claimants fail, at least 20 days before the deadline therefor, either to
file a proof of claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt and to furnish a
copy thereof to Junior Claimant, or to inform Junior Claimant in writing that
the Senior Claimants intend to exercise their rights to assert the Subordinated
Debt in the manner hereinabove provided, Junior Claimant may, but shall not be
required to, proceed to file a proof of claim with respect to the Subordinated
Debt and take such further steps with respect thereto, not inconsistent with
this Article, as Junior Claimant may deem proper.

                                    [__].2.6. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an event of default under a Secured Debt Document, Junior
Claimant may, but shall have no obligation to, upon not less than 10 days prior
written notice to the Collateral Agent, purchase all of the outstanding Senior
Obligations owing to the Senior Claimants by irrevocably tendering, in
immediately available funds, full payment of the Purchase Price (as defined
below) to the Senior Claimants:

                                    (a)      The Purchase Price shall be equal
                  to the total amount of Senior Claims at the time of
                  acceleration (assuming such obligations have been
                  accelerated);

<PAGE>

                                    (b)      Any such purchase by Junior
                  Claimant shall be without warranty by, or recourse to, the
                  Senior Claimants, except with respect to the legal and
                  beneficial ownership by the Senior Claimants of the
                  Obligations so purchased, free and clear of all Liens and
                  rights of others; and

                                    (c)      Concurrently with any such
                  purchase, the Senior Claimants shall forthwith sell, assign,
                  transfer and convey to Junior Claimant all of their right,
                  title and interest in and to the Senior Obligations, and all
                  Liens and other security interests in favor of the Senior
                  Claimants securing the obligations of the Subordinated Debtor
                  in connection therewith.

                  Section [__].3.       Senior Claim Documents.  The Junior
Claimant acknowledges that it has been provided with a copy of the Senior Claim
Documents and has read and is familiar with the provisions thereof.

                  Section [__].4.       Time of Filing. Notwithstanding the time
of filing, attachment or recording of any document or other instrument, it is
agreed by Junior Claimant that any Liens arising under or pursuant to the Senior
Claim Documents shall be senior to any Liens arising in favor of Junior Claimant
as part of or relating to the Subordinated Debt Documents, if any; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit Junior Claimant to obtain
any such Liens.

                  Section [__].5.       Wrongful Collections. Should any payment
on account of, or any collateral for any part of, the Subordinated Debt be
received by Junior Claimant in violation of this Article, such payment or
collateral shall be delivered forthwith to the Collateral Agent by the recipient
for application to Senior Claims, in the form received. The Collateral Agent is
irrevocably authorized to supply any required endorsement or assignment which
may have been omitted. Until so delivered, any such payment or collateral shall
be held by the recipient in trust for the Senior Claimants and shall not be
commingled with other funds or property of the recipient.

                  Section [__].6.       Ownership of Subordinated Debt;
Amendment of Subordinated Debt Documents.

                                    [__].6.1.        The Junior Claimant
represents and warrants that it is the lawful owner of the Subordinated Debt.
Any security interest in the Junior Claimant's interest in the Subordinated Debt
will at all times be subject to the rights of the Senior Claimants hereunder.
The Junior Claimant agrees that it may not assign all or any portion of the
Subordinated Debt or any of its rights or remedies under the Subordinated Debt
Documents unless any assignee expressly agrees in writing for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent that it takes such Subordinated Debt subject in all respects to
the rights of the Senior Claimants hereunder.

                                    [__].6.2.        The Subordinated Debt
Documents may not be amended so as to have an adverse effect upon the Senior
Claims or the Subordinated Debtor's ability to pay the Senior Claims at any

party, notice of the acceptance of this Article by the Senior Claimants, notice
of any loan made, extension granted or other action taken in reliance hereon,
and all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Article,
Senior Claims or time of payment of Senior Claims or Subordinated Debt and (b)

                  Section [__].8.       Subrogation; No Impairment of
Subordinated Debtor's Obligations. Subject to and from and after the Senior
Obligations Termination Date, Junior Claimant shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Senior Claimants to receive payments or distributions of cash, property
or securities of the Subordinated Debtor applicable to the Senior Claims until
all amounts owing on the Subordinated Debt shall be paid in full. For purposes
of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the Senior Claimants to
which Junior Claimant would be entitled but for the provisions of this Article,
and no payments paid over by Junior Claimant to Senior Claimants pursuant to
this Article shall, as among the Subordinated Debtor, its creditors other than
the Senior Claimants, and Junior Claimant, be deemed to be a payment or
distribution on account of the Subordinated Debt, it being understood that the
provisions of this Article are intended solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of Junior Claimant and the Senior Claimants. Nothing contained
in this Article is intended to or shall impair, as between the Subordinated
Debtor and Junior Claimant, the obligation of the Subordinated Debtor, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay to Junior Claimant the principal of and the
premium, if any, and the interest on the Subordinated Debt, and all other
amounts payable by the Subordinated Debtor under the Subordinated Debt
Documents, as and when the same shall become due and payable, or to affect the
relative rights of Junior Claimant and creditors of Subordinated Debtor other
than the Senior Claimants.

                  Section [__].9.       Reinstatement. The obligations of Junior
Claimant under this Article shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time any payment in respect of any Senior Claim, or
any other payment to any holder of any Senior Claim in its capacity as such, is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the holder of such Senior
Claims upon the occurrence of any Proceeding, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar
officer for, the Subordinated Debtor or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

                  Section [__].10.      Bankruptcy.  This Article shall remain
in full force and effect as between Junior Claimant and the Senior Claimants
notwithstanding the occurrence of any Proceeding affecting the Subordinated
Debtor.

                  Section [__].11.      Further Assurances. The Subordinated
Debtor and Junior Claimant shall execute and deliver to the Senior Claimants
such further instruments and shall take such further action as the Senior
Claimants may at any time or times reasonably request in order to carry out the
provisions and intent of this Article.

                  Section [__].12.      Successors and Assigns. The provisions
of this Article shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Neither Junior Claimant nor
the Senior Claimants shall have a duty to preserve rights against prior parties
in any property of any kind received hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall
impose on the Senior Claimants any duties with respect to any property of the
Subordinated Debtor or Junior Claimant received hereunder.
