SHARES SUBJECT TO OPTIONS OR RESTRICTED STOCK GRANTS

     There shall be 3.5 million shares of Stock reserved for use
under this Plan, 2 million of which were originally reserved for use under the
1989 Plan. Such shares of Stock shall be reserved to the extent that CPI deems

 

 

appropriate from authorized but unissued shares of Stock and from shares of
Stock which have been reacquired by CPI. Any shares of Stock subject to an
Option which remain unissued after the cancellation, expiration or exchange of
such Option for another Option and any shares of Restricted Stock which are
forfeited thereafter shall again become available for use under this Plan, but
any Surrendered Shares which remain unissued after the surrender of an Option

EFFECTIVE DATE

shareholders) approve the amendment and restatement of the 1989 Plan in the form
of this Plan within twelve (12) months after the date the Board adopts this Plan
and such approval satisfies the requirements for shareholder approval under Rule
16b-3. Any Option or Restricted Stock granted after September 4, 1995 and before
such shareholder approval automatically shall be granted subject to such
approval. If there is no such approval by CPI’s shareholders, the 1989 Plan
shall remain in full force and effect.

ss. 6.

COMMITTEE

     This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The
Committee acting in its absolute discretion shall exercise such powers and take
such action as expressly called for under this Plan and, further, the Committee
shall have the power to interpret this Plan and to take such other action in the
administration and operation of this Plan as the Committee deems equitable under
the circumstances, which action shall be binding on CPI, on each affected Key
Employee and on each other person directly or indirectly affected by such
action.

 

 

ss. 7.

ELIGIBILITY

     Only Key Employees shall be eligible for the grant of Options
or Restricted Stock under this Plan.

ss. 8.

GRANT OF OPTIONS

     8.1. Committee Action. The Committee acting in its absolute
discretion shall grant Options to Key Employees under this Plan from time to
time to purchase shares of Stock and, further, shall have the right to grant new
Options in exchange for the cancellation of outstanding Options which have a
higher or lower Option Price; provided, however, no ISO shall be granted to a
Key Employee unless he or she is employed by CPI or a Subsidiary of CPI and no
Option shall be granted in any calendar year to any Key Employee for more than
200,000 shares of Stock. Each grant of an Option shall be evidenced by an Option
Certificate, and each Option Certificate shall

     (a) specify whether the Option is an ISO or Non-ISO, and

     (b) incorporate such other terms and conditions
as the Committee acting in its absolute discretion deems consistent with
the terms of this Plan, including (without limitation) a limitation on the
number of shares subject to the Option which first become exercisable subject
to surrender during any particular period.

     If the Committee grants an ISO and a Non-ISO to a Key Employee
on the same date, the right of the Key Employee to exercise or surrender the ISO
shall not be conditioned on his or her failure to exercise or surrender the
Non-ISO.

     8.2. $100,000 Limit. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the
shares of Stock subject to ISOs and other incentive stock options (which satisfy
the requirements under ss. 422 of the Code) granted to a Key Employee under this
Plan and under any other stock option plan adopted by CPI, a Subsidiary of CPI
or a Parent Corporation which first become exercisable in any calendar year
shall not exceed $100,000. Such Fair Market Value figure shall be determined by
the Committee on the date the ISO or other incentive stock option is granted.
The Committee shall interpret and administer the limitation set forth in this
ss. 8.2 in accordance with ss. 422(d) of the Code, and the Committee shall treat
this ss. 8.2 as in effect only for those periods for which ss. 422(d) of the
Code is in effect.

 

 

ss. 9.

OPTION PRICE

     The Option Price for each share of Stock subject to an ISO
shall be no less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date the
ISO is granted or, if the ISO is granted to a Key Employee who is a Ten Percent
Shareholder, the Option Price for each share of Stock subject to such ISO shall
be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date
the ISO is granted. On the other hand, the Option Price for a Non-ISO may be
less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date the Non-ISO is
granted but shall under no circumstances be less than adequate consideration (as
determined by the Board) for such a share. The Option Price shall be payable in
full upon the exercise of any Option, and an Option Certificate at the
discretion of the Committee may provide for the payment of the Option Price
either in cash or in Stock which has been held by the Key Employee for at least
6 months or in any combination of cash and such Stock. If an Option Certificate
allows the payment of the Option Price in whole or in part in Stock, such
payment shall be made in Stock acceptable to the Committee. The Committee may
also (in its discretion) allow a Key Employee to pay such Option Price (in whole
or in part) by electing that CPI withhold shares of Stock (that otherwise would
be transferred to such Key Employee as a result of the exercise of such Option)
to the extent that he elects to pay such Option Price through such withheld
shares of Stock. Any payment made in Stock shall be treated as equal to the Fair
Market Value of such Stock on the date the properly endorsed certificate for
such Stock is delivered to the Committee or the date the Stock is treated by the
Committee as withheld from the exercise of the Option.

ss. 10.

EXERCISE PERIOD

     Each Option granted under this Plan shall be exercisable in
whole or in part at such time or times as set forth in the related Option
Certificate, but no Option Certificate shall

               (a) make an Option exercisable before the end
of the six month period which starts on the date such Option is granted, or

                (b) make an Option exercisable on or after the
earliest of the

                          (1) the date which is the fifth anniversary of the date the Option is granted, if the Option is an ISO and
the Key Employee is a Ten Percent Shareholder on the date the Option is
granted, or

 

 

                          (2) the date which is the tenth anniversary of the date such Option is granted, if such Option is granted to
a Key Employee who is not a Ten Percent Shareholder on the date the Option is
granted.

     An Option Certificate may provide for the exercise of an
Option after the employment of a Key Employee has terminated for any reason
whatsoever, including death or disability.

ss. 11.

RESTRICTED STOCK

     11.1. Committee Action. The Committee acting in its absolute discretion shall have the right to grant Restricted Stock to a Key Employee
under this Plan from time to time and, further, shall have the right to make new
Restricted Stock grants in exchange for outstanding Restricted Stock grants.
Each Restricted Stock grant shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock
Certificate, and each Restricted Stock Certificate shall set forth the
conditions, if any, under which Stock will be issued in the name of the Key
Employee and the conditions, if any, under which the Key Employee’s interest in
such Stock will become nonforfeitable.

     11.2. Conditions.

                (a) Issuance Subject to Conditions. The Committee acting in its absolute discretion may make the issuance of
Restricted Stock in the name of a Key Employee subject to the satisfaction
of one, or more than one, objective employment, performance or other grant
condition which the Committee deems appropriate under the circumstances,
and the related Restricted Stock Certificate shall set forth each such
condition, if any, and the deadline, if any, for satisfying each such
condition. Stock subject to a Restricted Stock grant shall be issued in the
name of a Key Employee only after each such condition, if any, has been
satisfied, and such Stock shall be held by CPI (or CPI’s delegate) pending the
satisfaction of the forfeiture conditions, if any, set forth in the related
Restricted Stock Certificate.

                (b) Grants Subject to Forfeiture. The Committee acting in its absolute discretion may make Restricted Stock issued in the name
of a Key Employee subject to one, or more than one, objective employment,
performance or other forfeiture condition which the Committee acting in
its absolute discretion deems appropriate under the circumstances, and
the related Restricted Stock Certificate shall set forth each such
forfeiture condition, if any, and the related deadline, if any, for
satisfying each such forfeiture condition. Stock issued in the name of a Key
Employee shall be forfeited unless each such forfeiture condition, if any,
has been satisfied.

 

 

                (c) Section 162(m). Except where the Committee deems it in the best interests of CPI, the Committee shall use its best efforts to
grant Restricted Stock either (1) subject to at least one condition which can
result in the Restricted Stock qualifying as “performance-based compensation”
under ss. 162(m) of the Code if the shareholders of CPI approve such condition
and the Committee takes such other action as the Committee deems necessary or
appropriate for such grant to so qualify under ss. 162(m) or (2) under such
other circumstances as the Committee deems likely to result in an income tax
deduction for the grant.

     11.3. Dividends and Voting Rights. Each Restricted Stock Certificate shall specify what rights, if any, a Key Employee shall have with
respect to the Stock issued in the name of a Key Employee, including rights to
dividends and to vote, pending the forfeiture of such Stock or the lapse of each
forfeiture condition, if any, with respect to such Stock. Furthermore, the
Committee may grant dividend equivalent rights on Restricted Stock while such
Stock remains subject to an issuance condition under ss. 11.2(a) under which
cash equivalent to a dividend shall be paid when a dividend is paid, and any
such dividend equivalent right shall be set forth in the related Restricted
Stock Certificate.

     11.4. Satisfaction of All Conditions. A share of Stock issued in the name of a Key Employee shall cease to be Restricted Stock at such time as
a Key Employee’s interest in such Stock becomes nonforfeitable, and the
certificate representing such share shall be released by CPI and transferred to
the Key Employee as soon as practicable thereafter. However, if a share of
Restricted Stock is issued and nonforfeitable before the end of the six month
period which starts on the date of the grant of such Restricted Stock, CPI shall
have the right to issue such stock subject to a restriction that the Key
Employee hold such stock for the remainder of such six month period or CPI shall
have the right to take such other action as CPI deems necessary or appropriate
to make sure that the Key Employee satisfies the applicable six month holding
period requirement set forth in Rule 16b-3.

ss. 12.

NONTRANSFERABILITY

     Neither an Option granted under this Plan, any related surrender rights under ss. 13 nor any Restricted Stock shall be transferable by
a Key Employee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
and such Option shall be exercisable during a Key Employee’s lifetime only by
the Key Employee. The person or persons to whom an Option or Restricted Stock is
transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution thereafter shall
be treated as the Key Employee.

 

 

ss. 13.

SURRENDER OF OPTIONS

     13.1. General Rule. The Committee acting in its absolute discretion may incorporate a provision in an Option Certificate to allow a Key
Employee to surrender his or her Option in whole or in part, in lieu of the
exercise in whole or in part of that Option, on any date that

                (a) the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to such Option exceeds the Option Price for such Stock, and

                (b) the Option to purchase such Stock is otherwise exercisable.

     13.2. Procedure. The surrender of an Option in whole or in part shall be effected by the delivery of the related Option Certificate
to the Committee (or to its delegate) together with a statement signed by the
Key Employee which states

     (a) the number of shares of Stock as to which the Key Employee surrenders his or her Option,

     (b) whether such shares are ISOs or Non-ISOs (if his or her Option includes ISOs and Non-ISOs) and,

     (c) at the Key Employee’s option, how he or she desires payment be made for such Surrendered Option under ss. 13.3.

     13.3. Payment. A Key Employee in exchange for his or her
Surrendered Option shall (to the extent consistent with the exemption under Rule
16b-3) receive a payment in cash or in Stock, or in a combination of cash and
Stock, equal in amount on the date such surrender is effected to the excess of
the Fair Market Value of the Surrendered Option on such date over the Option
Price for the Surrendered Option. The Committee acting in its absolute
discretion shall determine the form and timing of such payment, and the
Committee shall have the right

                (a) to take into account whatever factors the
Committee deems appropriate under the circumstances, including any written
request made by the Key Employee and delivered to the Committee (or to its
delegate) and

 

 

                (b) to forfeit a Key Employee’s right to payment
of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Stock if the Committee deems such
forfeiture necessary in order for the surrender of his or her Option under this
ss. 13 to come within the exemption under Rule 16b-3.

     13.4. Restrictions. Any Option Certificate which incorporates
a provision to allow a Key Employee to surrender his or her Option in whole or
in part also shall incorporate such additional restrictions, if any, on the
exercise or surrender of such Option as the Committee deems necessary or
appropriate, including restrictions to satisfy the conditions to the exemption
related to such surrender rights under Rule 16b-3.

ss. 14.

SECURITIES REGISTRATION AND RESTRICTIONS

     Each Option Certificate and Restricted Stock Certificate shall
provide that, upon the receipt of shares of Stock as a result of the exercise or
surrender of an Option or the lapse of the forfeiture conditions, if any, on any
Restricted Stock, the Key Employee shall, if so requested by CPI, agree to hold
such shares of Stock for investment and not with a view of resale or
distribution to the public and, if so requested by CPI, shall deliver to CPI a
written statement satisfactory to CPI to that effect. Each Option Certificate
and Restricted Stock Certificate also shall provide that, if so requested by
CPI, the Key Employee shall make a written representation to CPI that he or she
will not sell or offer for sale any of such Stock unless a registration
statement shall be in effect with respect to such Stock under the 1933 Act and
any applicable state securities law or he or she shall have furnished to CPI an
opinion in form and substance satisfactory to CPI of legal counsel satisfactory
to CPI that such registration is not required. Certificates representing the
Stock transferred upon the exercise or surrender of an Option or upon the lapse
of the forfeiture conditions, if any, on any Restricted Stock may at the
discretion of CPI bear a legend to the effect that such Stock has not been
registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities law and that
such Stock cannot be sold or offered for sale in the absence of an effective
registration statement as to such Stock under the 1933 Act and any applicable
state securities law or an opinion in form and substance satisfactory to CPI of
legal counsel satisfactory to CPI that such registration is not required.

ss. 15.

LIFE OF PLAN

     No Option or Restricted Stock shall be granted under this Plan
on or after the earlier of

     (a) the tenth anniversary of the effective
date of the 1989 Plan (as determined under ss. 4 of the 1989 Plan), in which

 

 

event this Plan shall continue in effect thereafter until all outstanding
Options have been surrendered or exercised in full or no longer are exercisable
and all outstanding Restricted Stock grants have been forfeited or the
forfeiture conditions, if any, with respect to such grants have lapsed, or

                (b) the date on which all of the Stock eserved
under ss.4 of this Plan has (as a result of the exercise or surrender of Options
or th lapse of the forfeiture conditions, if any, on all Restricted Stock)
been issued or no longer is available for use under this Plan, in which event
this Plan also shall terminate on such date.

ss. 16.

ADJUSTMENT

     The number of shares of Stock reserved under ss. 4 of this
Plan and the number of shares of Stock subject to Options granted under this
Plan and the Option Price of such Options as well as the number of shares of
Restricted Stock granted under this Plan shall be adjusted by the Board in an
equitable manner to reflect any change in the capitalization of CPI, including,
but not limited to, such changes as stock dividends or stock splits.
Furthermore, the Board shall have the right to adjust (in a manner which
satisfies the requirements of ss. 424(a) of the Code) the number of shares of
Stock reserved under ss. 4 of this Plan and the number of shares subject to
Options granted under this Plan and the Option Price of such Options as well as
the number of shares of Restricted Stock granted under this Plan in the event of
any corporate transaction described in ss. 424(a) of the Code which provides for
the substitution or assumption of such Options. If any adjustment under this ss.
16 would create a fractional share of Stock or a right to acquire a fractional
share of Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of
shares of Stock reserved under this Plan and the number subject to any Options
granted under this Plan shall be the next lower number of shares of Stock,
rounding all fractions downward. An adjustment made under this ss. 16 by the
Board shall be conclusive and binding on all affected persons and, further,
shall not constitute an increase in “the number of shares reserved under ss. 4”
within the meaning of ss. 18(a) of this Plan.

 

 

ss. 17.

SALE OR MERGER OF CPI; CHANGE IN CONTROL

     17.1. Sale or Merger. If CPI agrees to sell all or
substantially all of its assets for cash or property or for a combination of
cash and property or agrees to any merger, consolidation, reorganization,
division or other corporate transaction in which Stock is converted into another
security or into the right to receive securities or property and such agreement
does not provide for the assumption or substitution of the Options or Restricted
Stock granted under this Plan, each then outstanding Option and Restricted Stock
grant at the direction and discretion of the Board may be cancelled unilaterally
by CPI as of any date before the effective date of such transaction in exchange
for the same consideration which each Key Employee would have received if (a)
each such Option had been exercisable in full on such date and each Key Employee
on such date had surrendered each such Option for Stock under ss. 13 and (b) all
the Stock subject to each Restricted Stock grant had been issued and had become
nonforfeitable on such date.

     17.2. Change in Control. If the Board determines that there
has been a Change in Control of CPI or a tender or exchange offer is made for
Stock (other than by CPI or an employee benefit plan established and maintained
by CPI), the Board thereafter shall have the right to take such action with
respect to any or all unexercised Options and Restricted Stock grants under this
Plan as the Board deems appropriate under the circumstances to protect the
interest of CPI in maintaining the integrity of such grants under this Plan,
including following the procedure set forth in ss. 17.1 for a sale or merger of
CPI with respect to such Options. The Board shall have the right to take
different action under this ss. 17.2 with respect to different Key Employees or
different groups of Key Employees, as the Board deems appropriate under the
circumstances.

ss. 18.

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

     This Plan may be amended by the Board from time to time to the
extent that the Board deems necessary or appropriate; provided, however, no such
amendment shall be made absent the proper approval of the shareholders of CPI
(a) to increase the number of shares reserved under ss. 4, (b) to extend the
maximum life of the Plan under ss. 15 or the maximum exercise period under ss.
10, (c) to decrease the minimum option price under ss. 9, (d) to change the
class of employees eligible for Options under ss. 7 or to otherwise materially
modify (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3) the requirements as to eligibility for
participation in this Plan or (e) to otherwise materially increase (within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3) the benefits accruing to Key Employees under this Plan.
The Board also may suspend the granting of Options or Restricted Stock under
this Plan at any time and may terminate this Plan at any time; provided,
however, CPI shall not have the right unilaterally to modify, amend or cancel
any Option or Restricted Stock granted before such suspension or termination

 

 

unless (1) the Key Employee consents in writing to such modification, amendment
or cancellation or (2) there is a dissolution or liquidation of CPI or a
transaction described in ss. 16 or ss. 17 of this Plan.

ss. 19.

MISCELLANEOUS

     19.1. No Shareholder Rights. No Key Employee shall have any
rights as a shareholder of CPI as a result of the grant of an Option to him or
to her under this Plan or his or her exercise or surrender of such Option
pending the actual delivery of Stock subject to such Option to such Key
Employee, and no Key Employee shall have any rights as a shareholder with
respect to any Restricted Stock except those rights, if any, set forth in the
related Restricted Stock Certificate.

     19.2. No Contract of Employment. The grant of an Option or
Restricted Stock to a Key Employee under this Plan shall not constitute a
contract of employment and shall not confer on a Key Employee any rights upon
his or her termination of employment in addition to those rights, if any,
expressly set forth in the Option Certificate which evidences his or her Option
or the Restricted Stock Certificate which evidences his or her Restricted Stock.

     19.3. Withholding. Each Option and Restricted Stock grant
shall be made subject to the condition that the Key Employee consents to
whatever action the Committee directs to satisfy the federal and state tax
withholding requirements, if any, which the Committee in its discretion deems
applicable to the exercise or surrender of such Option or the lapse of any
forfeiture conditions with respect to Restricted Stock issued in the name of the
Key Employee. The Committee also shall have the right to provide in an Option
Certificate or a Restricted Stock Certificate that a Key Employee may elect to
satisfy federal and state tax withholding requirements through a reduction in
the number of shares of Stock actually transferred to him or to her under this
Plan, and any such election and any such reduction shall be effected so as to
satisfy the conditions to the exemption under Rule 16b-3.

     19.4. Construction. This Plan shall be construed under the
laws of the State of Georgia.

     19.5. Loans. If approved by the Board, CPI may lend money or
guarantee loans by third parties to any Key Employee to finance the exercise of
any Option granted under this Plan.

Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Company shall

money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or
Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the
Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such
default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held
by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay
all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the
Paying Agent (if other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries) shall have
no further liability for the money. If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries
acts as Paying Agent, it shall 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

                        thereof;

                  and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (D), if
                  the Registrar or the Company so requests or if the Applicable
                  Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form
                  reasonably acceptable to the Registrar and 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.

            Upon satisfaction of the conditions of any of the subparagraphs in
this Section 2.07(d)(ii), the Trustee shall cancel the Definitive Notes and
increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the
Unrestricted Global Note.

            (iii) Unrestricted Definitive Notes to Beneficial Interests in
      Unrestricted Global Notes. A Holder of an Unrestricted Definitive Note may
      exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
      Note or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery
      thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global
      Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or
      transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Unrestricted Definitive
      Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount
      of one of the Unrestricted Global Notes.

            If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a
      beneficial interest is effected pursuant to subparagraphs (ii)(B), (ii)(D)
      or (iii) above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been
      issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication
      Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall
      authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate
      principal amount equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so
      transferred.

            (e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes.
Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder's compliance with
the provisions of this Section 2.07(e), the Registrar shall register the
transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer
or exchange, the requesting Holder shall present or surrender to the Registrar
the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or
by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. In addition, the requesting Holder
shall provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as
applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of this Section
2.07(e).

            (i) Restricted Definitive Notes to Restricted Definitive Notes. Any

      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 the

      the Registrar shall register the Unrestricted Definitive Notes pursuant to

participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes and (y) they are not
affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company, and accepted for exchange in
the Exchange Offer and (ii) Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of the Restricted Definitive Notes accepted for

Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or
canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or
retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof. At
any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note
is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive
Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be
reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the
Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such

to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest
in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly
and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the
Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

      Definitive Notes upon the Company's order or at the Registrar's request.

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

      registration of transfer or exchange.

GAYLORD - INDENTURE

                                       43

            (v) The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the
      transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the
      opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for
      redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business
      on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange

      unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register
      the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next
      succeeding interest payment date.

            (vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of
      any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the
      Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such

Section 2.08. Replacement Notes.

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

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

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 2.10 hereof, a
Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company

                                       44
<PAGE>

holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(b)
hereof.

            (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases
to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

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

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

Section 2.10. Treasury Notes.

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

Section 2.11. Temporary Notes.

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

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

Section 2.12. Cancellation.

            The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall

GAYLORD - INDENTURE

                                       45

dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its procedures for the disposition
of canceled securities in effect as of the date of such disposition (subject to
the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the
disposition of all canceled Notes shall be delivered to the Company. The Company
may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest.

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

Section 2.14. CUSIP Numbers.

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

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

            (b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the
Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount at maturity thereof to be redeemed. No Notes in
amounts of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notes and portions of Notes
selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that
if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding
amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be
redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this
Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of
Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

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

            (i) the redemption date;

            (ii) the redemption price;

            (iii) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the

      principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note

      Paying Agent to collect the redemption price and become due on the date
      fixed for redemption;

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

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

notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided
in the preceding paragraph. The notice, if mailed in the manner provided herein
shall be presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such
notice.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

not the Holder receives such notice. Failure to give notice or any defect in a
notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other
Holder.

            (b) If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding
paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on
the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed
on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest
payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to

the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on
such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with
the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from
the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on
any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

therewith, the procedures specified below.

30 days and no more than 60 days following its commencement, except to the
extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the "OFFER PERIOD").
No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the

required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.14 hereof (the "OFFER
AMOUNT") or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered
in response to the Repurchase Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be
made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest
shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of

Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer.

by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a
copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials
necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase
Offer. The Repurchase Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which

            (i)that the Repurchase Offer is being made pursuant to this Section
      3.08 and Section 4.10 or Section 4.14 hereof, and the length of time the
      Repurchase Offer shall remain open;

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

            (iii) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall
      continue to accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any;

            (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any
      Note (or portion thereof) accepted for payment pursuant to the Repurchase
      Offer shall cease to accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, after
      the Purchase Date;

            (v) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a

      of $1,000 only;

      Repurchase Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form
      entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note
      completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a
      depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address
      specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

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

            (viii) that, if the aggregate amount of Notes surrendered by Holders
      exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall, subject in the case of a
      Repurchase Offer made pursuant to Section 4.10 to the provisions of
      Section 4.10, select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with
      such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only
      Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be
      purchased); and

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

            On the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful,
subject in the case of a Repurchase Offer made pursuant to Section 4.10 to the
provisions of Section 4.10, accept for payment on a pro rata basis to the extent
necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes (or portions thereof) tendered pursuant to
the Repurchase Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all
Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
stating that such Notes (or portions thereof) were accepted for payment by the
Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.08. The Company, the
Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any
case not later than three days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each
tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of Notes tendered by such
Holder, as the case may be, and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the
Company, shall promptly issue a new Note. The Trustee, upon written request from
the Company shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder,
in a principal amount at maturity equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by
the Company to the respective Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly
announce the results of the Repurchase Offer on the Purchase Date.

            The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to
the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the
repurchase of the Notes pursuant to a Repurchase Offer and shall not be deemed
to have breached its obligations under Section 3.08, 4.10 or 4.14 by virtue of
such compliance.

                  transfers of assets, in each case to the Company or any
                  Restricted Subsidiary or from the net cash proceeds from the
                  sale of any such Investment (except, in each case, to the
                  extent any such payment or proceeds are included in the
                  calculation of Consolidated Net Income), from the release of
                  any Guarantee (except to the extent any amounts are paid under
                  such Guarantee) or from redesignations of Unrestricted
                  Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries, not to exceed, in
                  each case, the amount of Investments previously made by the

      redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition shall
      be excluded from Section 4.07(a)(C)(2);

      price paid under this Section 4.07(b)(ix) in any calendar year is less

fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or
securities proposed to be transferred or issued to or by the Company or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair
market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this

respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Board of Directors'
determination must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an
accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the
fair market value exceeds $15.0 million. Not later than the date of making any
Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth
the basis upon which the calculations required by this Section 4.07 were

Indenture.

Section 4.08. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
Subsidiaries.

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

            (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital
      Stock (or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or
      measured by, its profits) to the Company or any of its Restricted
      Subsidiaries or pay any liabilities owed to the Company or any of its
      Restricted Subsidiaries;

            (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted

            (b) However, the preceding restrictions shall not apply to such

      Agreement, the SAILS Forward Exchange Contracts, the Nashville Hotel Loan,
      Existing Indebtedness or any other agreements in effect on the date of
      this Indenture and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals,
      extensions, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof;
      provided that the encumbrances and restrictions in any such

<PAGE>

      amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, extensions,
      supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings are not materially
      more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the Credit
      Agreement, Existing Indebtedness or such other agreements as in effect on
      the date of this Indenture;

            (ii) existing under, by reason of, or with respect to, this
      Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees;

            (iii) existing under, by reason of or with respect to applicable

      Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
      existing at the time of such acquisition and not incurred in connection
      with or in contemplation of such acquisition, which encumbrance or
      restriction is not applicable to any Person or the properties or assets of
      any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the
      Person, so acquired and any amendments, modifications, restatements,
      renewals, extensions, supplements, refundings, replacements or
      refinancings thereof; provided that the encumbrances and restrictions in
      any such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, extensions,
      supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings are not materially
      more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those in effect on the date of
      the acquisition;

            (v) existing under, by reason of or with respect to Indebtedness of
      any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company if the encumbrance or restriction
      applies only upon a payment or financial covenant default or event of
      default contained in such Indebtedness; provided that (A) such
      encumbrances or restrictions are not materially more adverse to the
      Holders of the Notes than is customary for comparable financings (as
      determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) and (B) the Company
      delivers an Officers' Certificate to the Trustee evidencing the Company's
      determination that the imposition of such encumbrances or restrictions
      will not materially impair the Company's ability to make payments when due
      with respect to the Notes;

            (vi) in the case of Section 4.08(a)(iii),

                  (A) that restrict in a customary manner the subletting,
            assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is a lease,
            license, conveyance or contract or similar property or asset,

                  (B) existing by virtue of any transfer of, agreement to
            transfer, option or right with respect to, or Lien on, or lease of,
            any property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
            not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, or

                  (C) arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business,
            not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or
            in the aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of
            the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to
            the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

            (vii) existing under, by reason of or with respect to any agreement
      for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
      capital stock of, or property and assets of, a Restricted Subsidiary that
      restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending such sale or
      other disposition;

            (viii) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed
      by customers or required by insurance, surety or bonding companies, in
      each case, under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of
      business;

            (ix) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the
      restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted
      Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a
      whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness
      being refinanced; and

            (x) customary supermajority voting provisions and customary
      provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or
      property, in each case contained in joint venture agreements.

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

            (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness
(including Acquired Debt and Construction Indebtedness), and the Company shall
not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any preferred stock;
provided, however, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof may
incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue shares of preferred stock,
if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company's most recently ended four
full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available
immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred
would have been at least 2.0 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a
pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional
Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

            (b) Section 4.09(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the
following items of Indebtedness (collectively, "PERMITTED DEBT"):

            (i) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
      Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities (including the Credit
      Agreement and the Nashville Hotel Loan, until repaid with the proceeds for
      the Notes) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding
      pursuant to this Section 4.09(b)(i) (with letters of credit being deemed
      to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the
      Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed $300.0
      million, less the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales
      applied by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof to permanently
      repay any such Indebtedness (and, in the case of any revolving credit
      Indebtedness, to effect a corresponding commitment reduction thereunder)
      pursuant to Section 4.10;

            (ii) the incurrence of Existing Indebtedness;

      Indenture and the related Note Guarantees, (b) Indebtedness represented by
      the Exchange Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued pursuant
      to the Registration Rights Agreement and (c) Indebtedness to the extent
      the net proceeds are promptly used to defease the Notes as described in
      Article Eight;

            (iv) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of
      the Company of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations,
      mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred
      for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost
      of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the
      business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate
      principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness
      incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred
      pursuant to this Section 4.09(b)(iv), not to exceed $30.0 million at any
      time outstanding;

            (v) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of
      the Company 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 Section 4.09(a) or Section
      4.09(b)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (ix) or (xi);

            (vi) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
      Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness owing to and held by the Company
      or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

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

            (b)   Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Guarantor must be
                  evidenced by an unsubordinated promissory note, unless the
                  obligor under such Indebtedness is the Company or a Guarantor;
                  and

            (c)   (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 Restricted Subsidiary thereof and
                  (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a
                  Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted
                  Subsidiary thereof, shall be deemed, in each case, to
                  constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company
                  or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was
                  not permitted by this Section 4.09(b)(vi);

            (vii) the Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
      thereof of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
      Company that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this
      Section 4.09;

GAYLORD - INDENTURE

                                       61
<PAGE>

            (viii) the incurrence by the Company or any Guarantor of
      Indebtedness represented by the SAILS Forward Exchange Contracts and any
      Permitted SAILS Refinancing Indebtedness;

            (ix) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
      thereof of Indebtedness to the extent the net proceeds are used to pay the
      Company's tax liability with respect to its sale of the Viacom Stock
      pursuant to the SAILS Forward Exchange Contracts or any Permitted SAILS
      Refinancing Indebtedness;

            (x) the issuance of preferred stock by a Restricted Subsidiary of
      the Company to the Company or to a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary
      thereof; provided that (a) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity
      Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person
      other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary thereof or
      (b) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person
      that is not the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary thereof,
      shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of preferred
      stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this Section
      4.09(b)(x); or

            (xi) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
      thereof of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or
      accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all
      Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or
      replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09(b)(xi),
      not to exceed $50.0 million.

            For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in
the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of
the categories of Permitted Debt described in Sections 4.09(b)(i) through (xi)
above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company
shall be permitted to classify at the time of its incurrence such item of
Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. In addition,
the Company may at any time change the classification of an item of
Indebtedness, or any portion thereof, to any other clause of Section 4.09(b) or
to Section 4.09(a); provided that the Company or its Restricted Subsidiary, as
the case may be, would be permitted to incur the item of Indebtedness, or
portion of the item of Indebtedness, under such new clause of Section 4.09(b) or
Section 4.09(a), as the case may be, at the time of such reclassification.

            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the
maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to this Section
4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding
Indebtedness due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of
currencies.

            The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or
junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company unless it is
subordinate in right of payment to the Notes to the same extent. The Company
shall not permit any Guarantor to incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or
junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of such Guarantor unless it
is subordinate in right of payment to such Guarantor's Note Guarantee to the
same extent. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness shall be deemed to
be subordinated or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the
Company solely by

virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any
secured Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements giving one or
more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by
them.

Section 4.10. Asset Sales.

            (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

            (i) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be)
      receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to
      the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or
      otherwise disposed of;

            (ii) such fair market value is determined by the Company's Board of
      Directors and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set
      forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and

            (iii) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the
      Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or
      Replacement Assets or a combination of both. For purposes of this Section
      4.10(a)(iii), each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

                  (A) any liabilities (as shown on the Company's or such
            Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet) of the Company or
            any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities,
            Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes or any Note Guarantee
            (other than (x) Indebtedness under Credit Facilities and (y)
            Indebtedness secured by the assets subject to such Asset Sale),
            Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee
            and liabilities to the extent owed to the Company or any Affiliate
            of the Company) that are assumed by the transferee of any such
            assets pursuant to a customary written novation agreement that
            releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further
            liability; and

                  (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the
            Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that
            are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash
            (to the extent of the cash received in that conversion) within 90
            days of the applicable Asset Sale.

            (b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an
Asset Sale, the Company may apply such Net Proceeds at its option:

            (i) to repay (A) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted
      Subsidiary thereof under Credit Facilities, (B) Indebtedness of the
      Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof secured by such assets or (C)
      Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a
      Guarantor, and, if the Indebtedness repaid is

      respect thereto; or

            (ii) to purchase Replacement Assets or make a capital expenditure in
      or that is used or useful in a Permitted Business (or enter into a binding
      agreement to purchase such assets or make such capital expenditure;
      provided that if such binding agreement ceases to be in full force and
      effect during such 360-day period, the Company may enter into another such
      binding agreement; provided further that if such binding agreement ceases
      to be in full force and effect after such 360-day period, any portion of
      the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale not applied or invested pursuant to
      such binding agreement shall constitute Excess Proceeds).

            Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company
may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net
Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

            (c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or
invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) above shall constitute "EXCESS
PROCEEDS." Within 10 days after the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds
$15.0 million, the Company shall make an offer (an "ASSET SALE OFFER") to all
Holders of Notes and, at the Company's option, all holders of other Indebtedness
that is pari passu with the Notes or any Note Guarantee containing provisions
similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase
with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase the maximum principal amount
of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the
Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100%
of the principal amount of the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of
purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after
consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds
for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into
such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and such
other pari passu Indebtedness shall be purchased on a pro rata basis based on
the principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered.
Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be
reset at zero.

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

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

            (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially
      less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than
      those that would have been obtained in a comparable arm's-length
      transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with a Person
      that is not an Affiliate of the Company; and

            (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee:

                  (A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
            related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
            excess of $5.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set
            forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate
            Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies
            with this Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction or series
            of related Affiliate Transactions has been approved by a majority of
            the disinterested members 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 $20.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the
            Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction
            or series of related Affiliate Transactions from a financial point
            of view issued by an independent accounting, appraisal or investment
            banking firm of national standing.

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

            (i) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted
      Subsidiaries;

            (ii) payment (a) of reasonable and customary fees to, and reasonable

      its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

            (iii) Permitted Investments and Restricted Payments that are
      permitted by the provisions of Section 4.07;

            (iv) any issuance or sale of Equity Interests (other than
      Disqualified Stock) of the Company;

            (v) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company
      solely because the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns
      Capital Stock in, or controls, such Person; and

            (vi) transactions entered into pursuant to any agreement existing on
      the date of this Indenture.

Section 4.12. Liens.

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

Section 4.13. Business Activities.

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

Section 4.14. Offer to Repurchase upon a Change of Control.

            (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes shall have
the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000
or an integral multiple thereof) of that Holder's Notes pursuant to an offer by
the Company (a "CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER") at an offer price (a "CHANGE OF
CONTROL PAYMENT") in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
thereon, to the date of purchase. Within ten days following any Change of
Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the
transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering
to repurchase Notes on a date (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT DATE") specified
in such notice, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days
from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures described in
Section 3.08 (including the notice required thereby). The Company will comply
with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and
regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a
result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of
this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the
Change of Control provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

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

Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment

            (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14,
the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a
Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth
in this Section 4.14 and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable to a
Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary, provided that:

            (i) any Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any
      Indebtedness of the Subsidiary being so designated shall be deemed to be

      (including any Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of
      any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary) shall be deemed to be a Restricted
      Investment made as of the time of such designation and such Investment
      would be permitted under Section 4.07;

            (iii) such Subsidiary does not own any Equity Interests of, or hold
      any Liens on any Property of, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

            understanding with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the
            Company unless the terms of any such agreement, contract,
            arrangement or understanding are no less favorable to the Company or
            such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the
            time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company;

                  (B) is a Person with respect to which neither the Company nor
            any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect

Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the
Trustee a certified copy of the Board Resolution giving effect to such
designation and an Officers' Certificate certifying that such designation
complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by this Indenture. If,

      Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding
      Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall
      only be permitted if such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09
      calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the
      beginning of the four-quarter reference period;

            (ii) all outstanding Investments owned by such Unrestricted

indirectly, to Guarantee or pledge any assets to secure the payment of any other
Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor unless such Restricted Subsidiary
is a Guarantor or simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture

      and leaseback transaction; and

            (a) During any period of time that the Notes are rated Investment
Grade by both Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default shall have

collectively as the "SUSPENSION CONDITION"), the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, clauses (i)

result of Section 4.21(a) and, subsequently, one or both Rating Agencies
withdraw their Investment Grade rating or downgrade the Investment Grade rating
assigned to the Notes such that the Notes are no longer rated Investment Grade

            Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or Restricted

            Significant Subsidiary);

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

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

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

            (b) In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any
willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of the Company
with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would
have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to
Section 3.07 hereof, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately
due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the
Notes. If an Event of Default occurs during any time that the Notes are
outstanding, by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken)
by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on
redemption of the Notes, then the premium specified in Section 3.07(b) shall
also become immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the
acceleration of the Notes.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

            (a) 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, interest, and Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to, the Notes or to
enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

            (b) 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 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
hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of
interest or Liquidated Damages on, or the principal of, the Notes; provided,
however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including
any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration.

            The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver
and attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver, the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and
rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. This Section 6.04 shall be
in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the
TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted
by the TIA. 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.

            The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee.
However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law
or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that
the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of
Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction and may take any
other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction
received from Holders of Notes.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

            (a) A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Notes unless:

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

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

                                       75
<PAGE>

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

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

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

            (b) 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 the principal of, premium or
Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on, such Note or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the
Notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the
Holder.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

            If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i) or (a)(ii)
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, if any, interest, and Liquidated Damages, if
any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and
premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest and Liquidated Damages, if
any, 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 Guarantor (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 securities or property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the

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

Section 6.10. Priorities.

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

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

payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

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.

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

            Except to the extent, if any, provided otherwise in the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (as from time to time in effect):

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

            (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of

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

            (f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from

Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

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

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

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

demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if
signed by an Officer of the Company.

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

            (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or
Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such event is sent to the Trustee
in accordance with Section 12.02 hereof, and such notice references the Notes.
The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Company
with respect to the covenants contained in Articles 4 and 5 of this Indenture.

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 become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with,
the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any
conflicting interest as described in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as in
effect at such time), it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to
the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the
same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10
and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer.

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

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults.

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

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

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

            (b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders
of Notes shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock
exchange on which the

Notes are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The Company shall
promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or
any delisting thereof.

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

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

            (b) The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all
losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture,
including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company
(including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether
asserted by either of the Company or any Holder or any other person) or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may
be attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee
shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.
Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of
its obligations hereunder unless the failure to notify the Company impairs the
Company's ability to defend such claim. The Company shall defend the claim and
the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Company need not pay for any
settlement made without its consent.

            (c) The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and resignation of
removal of the Trustee.

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

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

the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company,
or the Holders of Notes of at least 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Company 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 shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property
held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the
Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section
7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the

Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

            The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been

The Trustee hereby waives any right to set-off any claim that it may have
against the Company in any capacity (other than as Trustee and Paying Agent)
against any of the assets of the Company held by the Trustee; provided, however,
that if the Trustee is or becomes a lender of any other Indebtedness permitted
hereunder to be pari passu with the Notes, then such waiver shall not apply to
the extent of such Indebtedness.

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

            (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely
from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set
forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any,
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Notes when such payments are
due;

            (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes under
Article 2 concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes and
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the Company's obligations under
Section 4.02 hereof;

            (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder and the Company's obligations in connection therewith; and

            (d) this Article 8.

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

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.

            Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its
obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10,
4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 and 4.19 hereof with respect to the
outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
are satisfied (hereinafter, "COVENANT DEFEASANCE"), and the Notes shall
thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
"outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such
Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this
purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes,
the Company and the Guarantors

GAYLORD - INDENTURE

                                       84

may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or
indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or
by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or
in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default
or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified
above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected
thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of
the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(a)(iii) through (vii)
shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

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

            (i) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust,
      for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars,
      non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such
      amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
      firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or
      interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the outstanding
      Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the
      case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being
      defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

            (ii) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have
      delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to
      the Trustee confirming that (a) the Company has received from, or there
      has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since
      the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable
      federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based
      thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, 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;

            (iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have
      delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel 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;

            (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
      continuing either: (a) on the date of such deposit; or (b) or insofar as
      Events of Default from\

GAYLORD - INDENTURE

                                       85
<PAGE>

      bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period
      ending on the 123rd day after the date of deposit;

            (v) 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;

            (vi) the Company must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
      Counsel to the effect that, (1) assuming no intervening bankruptcy of the
      Company or any Guarantor between the date of deposit and the 123rd day
      following the deposit and assuming that no Holder is an "insider" of the
      Company under applicable bankruptcy law, after the 123rd day following the
      deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any
      applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
      affecting creditors' rights generally, including Section 547 of the United
      States Bankruptcy Code, and (2) the creation of the defeasance trust does
      not violate the Investment Company Act of 1940;

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

            (viii) if the Notes are to be redeemed prior to their stated
      maturity, the Company must deliver to the Trustee irrevocable instructions
      to redeem all of the Notes on the specified redemption date; and

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

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

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

            (b) The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax,
fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal
and interest received in respect thereof

GAYLORD - INDENTURE

                                       86
<PAGE>

other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of
the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

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

Section 8.06. Repayment to the Company.

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

Section 8.07. Reinstatement.

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

                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

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

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

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

            (iii) to provide for the assumption of the Company's or any
      Guarantor's obligations to Holders of Notes in the case of a merger or
      consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's or such
      Guarantor's assets;

            (iv) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
      benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the
      legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder;

            (v) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
      maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture
      Act;

            (vi) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental Indenture and
      a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes;

            (vii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment of a
      successor Trustee; or

            (viii) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance
      with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of its date.

            (b) 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 any documents
requested under Section 7.02(b) hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company
in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall
not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that
affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.

GAYLORD - INDENTURE

                                       88
<PAGE>

            (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02, the Company,
the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the
Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained
in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes),
and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of
Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) (including, without
limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer
or exchange offer for, Notes).

            (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record
date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any
indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such
record date, or its duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall
have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained
prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent
previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
cancelled and of no further effect.

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

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

            (e) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section
becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment,
supplement or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including
Additional Notes, if any) 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):

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

GAYLORD - INDENTURE

                                       89

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

            (iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest
      on any Note;

            (iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal
      of, or interest or premium, or Liquidated Damages, 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 Notes and a waiver
      of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

            (v) make any Note payable in money other than U.S. dollars;

            (vi) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to
      waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive
      payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if
      any, on the Notes;

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

            (viii) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any
      payment on or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees;

            (ix) amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company to make
      and consummate an Asset Sale Offer with respect to any Asset Sale in
      accordance with Section 4.10 after the obligation to make such Asset Sale
      Offer has arisen or the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a
      Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control in accordance
      with Section 4.14 after such Change of Control has occurred, including, in
      each case, amending, changing or modifying any definition relating
      thereto;

            (x) except as otherwise permitted under Section 4.18 and Section
      5.01, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Company or any
      Guarantor of any of their rights or obligations under this Indenture; and

            (xi) 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 shall
be set forth in a document that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

                                       90
<PAGE>

            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.

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

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

Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.

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

                                 NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01. Guarantee.

            (a) Subject to this Article Ten, each of the Guarantors hereby,
jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally, guarantees to each Holder
of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its
successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of, this
Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder,
that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, 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, premium, if any,

GAYLORD - INDENTURE

                                       91
<PAGE>

and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes, if lawful (subject in
all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other
obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder
will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or
renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same will be promptly
paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension
or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing
payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed
for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to
pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of
payment and not a guarantee of collection.

            (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that, to the maximum extent
permitted under applicable law, their obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions
hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action
to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Subject to Section 6.06
hereof, 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 covenants that this Note Guarantee shall
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 any of the Company or
the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder,
this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated
in full force and effect.

            (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right
of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations

Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand,
and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the

hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the

<PAGE>

            Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of
such Guarantor not constitute (i) 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 its Note Guarantee or (ii) an unlawful distribution under any
applicable state law prohibiting shareholder distributions by an insolvent
subsidiary to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee. To effectuate the
foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby
irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the
maximum amount as will, after giving effect to 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 Ten, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance or such an unlawful shareholder distribution.

Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

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

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

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

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

            (e) If required by Section 4.18 hereof, the Company shall cause such
Subsidiaries to execute supplemental indentures to this Indenture and Note
Guarantees in accordance with Section 4.18 hereof and this Article Ten, to the
extent applicable.

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

<PAGE>

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

            (ii) either:

                  (A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or
            disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
            consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) is a
            corporation or limited liability company organized or existing under
            the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of
            Columbia and assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under
            this Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights
            Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture reasonably
            satisfactory to the Trustee; or

                  (B) such sale or other disposition or consolidation or merger
            complies with Section 4.10 hereof.

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

            (c) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of this Indenture, and
notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.04(a) above, nothing
contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any
consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another
Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a
Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or
another Guarantor.

Section 10.05. Release of Guarantor.

            (a) Any Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations
under its Note Guarantee, (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition
of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Affiliate of the Company,
if the sale of all such Capital Stock of that Guarantor complies with Section
4.10 hereof; (ii) if the Company properly designates that Guarantor as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Indenture or (iii) solely in the case of a
Note Guarantee created pursuant to the second sentence of Section 4.18(a), upon
the release or discharge of the Guarantee which resulted in the creation of such
Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.18(b), except a discharge or release by or
as a result of payment under such Guarantee. Upon delivery by the Company to the

one of the foregoing requirements has been satisfied and the conditions to the
release of a Guarantor under this Section 10.05 have been met, the Trustee shall
execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of
such Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest

any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article Ten.

Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Section 12.14. Acts of Holders.

            (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by the
Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "ACT" of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of
a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company if made in the
manner provided in this Section 12.14.

            (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to such witness, notary or officer the
execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity
other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also
constitute sufficient proof of authority. The fact and date of the execution of
any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

            (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 12.14, the principal amount and serial numbers of Notes held by any
Holder, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the register of the
Notes maintained by the Registrar as provided in Section 2.04 hereof.

            (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of the Notes any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a resolution of its Board of
Directors, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders
entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.
Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date
specified in or pursuant to such resolution, which shall be a date not earlier
than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in
connection therewith or the date of the most recent list of Holders forwarded to
the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof and not
later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is
fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders
of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be
Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite
proportion of the then outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented
to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act, and for that purpose the then outstanding Notes shall be computed as
of such record date; provided that no such

authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be
deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of
this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date.

            (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of
the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration or
transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of
anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

            (f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to
take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so itself
with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or
more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment
with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

Section 12.15. Benefit of Indenture.

legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

                           6.75% Senior Notes due 2014

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

            1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal
amount of this Note at 6.75% per annum from the date hereof until maturity and

Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company shall pay interest
and Liquidated Damages, if any, semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November
15 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
shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided that if
there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is
authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next
succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest
Payment Date shall be May 15, 2005. The Company shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1%
per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest and Liquidated Damages (without regard to any
applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the
extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

            2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons who
are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the record date
immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled
after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as
provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.
The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if
any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such
purpose in The City of New York maintained for such purposes, or, at the option
of the Company, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, may be made
by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of
Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available
funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders
of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the
Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts.

            3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Trustee under the
Indenture shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any
Paying Agent or

Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries
may act in any such capacity.

            4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated
as of November 30, 2004 ("INDENTURE") among the Company, the Guarantors and the
Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended. 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 Indenture
pursuant to which this Note is issued provides that an unlimited aggregate
principal amount of Additional Notes may be issued thereunder.

            5. Optional Redemption. (a) Except as set forth in paragraph 5(b)
below, the Company shall not have the option to redeem any Notes prior to
November 15, 2009. On November 15, 2009 and thereafter, the Company shall have
the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days' prior notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the applicable redemption
date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 15, of
the years indicated below:

<S>                                                                <C>

2012 and thereafter................................                 100.000%
</TABLE>

            (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to November 15,
2007, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of
Notes issued under the Indenture (including any Additional Notes) at a
redemption price of 106.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the redemption date, with the
net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that (A) at least
65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture
(including any Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the
occurrence of such redemption, excluding Notes held by the Company and its
Subsidiaries; and (B) the redemption must occur within 45 days of the date of
the closing of such Equity Offering.

            6. Repurchase at Option of Holder. (a) If a Change of Control
occurs, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to
repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of
that Holder's Notes pursuant to an offer by the Company (a "CHANGE OF CONTROL
OFFER") at an offer price (a "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT") in cash equal to 101%
of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon, to the date of purchase. Within ten days
following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder
describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control
and offering to repurchase Notes on a date (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT
Date") specified in such notice, which shall be no earlier than 30

                                      A-7
<PAGE>

days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to
the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice.

            (b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an
Asset Sale, the Company may apply such Net Proceeds at its option: to repay (A)
Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof under Credit
Facilities, (B) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof
secured by such assets or (C) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company that is not a Guarantor, and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving
credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;
or to purchase Replacement Assets or make a capital expenditure in or that is
used or useful in a Permitted Business (or enter into a binding agreement to
purchase such assets or make such capital expenditure; provided that if such
binding agreement ceases to be in full force and effect during such 360-day
period, the Company may enter into another such binding agreement; provided
further that if such binding agreement ceases to be in full force and effect
after such 360-day period, any portion of the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale
not applied or invested pursuant to such binding agreement shall constitute
Excess Proceeds). Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the
Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest
such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture.

            Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested
as provided in the preceding paragraph shall constitute "EXCESS PROCEEDS."
Within 10 days after the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0
million, the Company shall make an offer (an "ASSET SALE OFFER") to all Holders
of Notes and, at the Company's option, all holders of other Indebtedness that is
pari passu with the Notes or any Note Guarantee containing provisions similar to
those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase with the
proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes
and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess
Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of
purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after
consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds
for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into
such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and such
other pari passu Indebtedness shall be purchased on a pro rata basis based on
the principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered.
Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be
reset at zero.

            7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as
provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder,
among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents
and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law
or permitted by the Indenture. The Company is not required to transfer or
exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is not required to
transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of
Notes to be redeemed. Transfer may be restricted as provided in the Indenture.

                                      A-8
<PAGE>

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

            9. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of
the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and any existing
default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the
Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes
may be amended or supplemented to, among other things, cure any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency, or to make any change that does not adversely affect
the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder.

            10. Defaults and Remedies. In the case of an Event of Default
arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the
Company, any Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company (or any
Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary), all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately
without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable
immediately by notice in writing to the Company specifying the Event of Default.
Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the
Notes notice of any Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of
Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, interest or Liquidated
Damages) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the
Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind and annul a
declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Indenture, and its
consequences, and waive any related existing Default or Event of Default if
certain conditions are satisfied.

            In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any
willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of the Company
with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would
have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to
Section 3.07 of the Indenture, an equivalent premium shall also become and be
immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration
of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs during any time that the Notes are
outstanding, by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken)
by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on
redemption of the Notes, then the premium specified in Section 3.07(b) of the
Indenture shall also become immediately due and payable to the extent permitted
by law upon the acceleration of the Notes.

            11. 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

GAYLORD - INDENTURE

                                      A-9
<PAGE>

or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as
if it were not the Trustee.

            12. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee,
incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have
any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the
Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect
of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder 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.

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

                                   WITNESSETH

heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the "INDENTURE"),
dated as of November 30, 2004 providing for the issuance of 6.75% Senior Notes
due 2014 (the "NOTES");

            WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental

authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

            NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good

guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

      (b) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees that, to the maximum extent
permitted under applicable law, its obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions
hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action
to enforce the same or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.

      (c) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary, subject to Section 6.06 of the Indenture,
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

by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the
Indenture.

      (d) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that 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 any of the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them
to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

      (e) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Guaranteeing Subsidiary
shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in

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

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

      (h) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary confirms, pursuant to Section 10.02 of the
Indenture, that it is the intention of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary that its
Note Guarantee not constitute (i) 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 its Note Guarantee or (ii) an unlawful distribution under any
applicable state law prohibiting shareholder distributions by an insolvent
subsidiary to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee, and, to effectuate
the foregoing intention, agrees hereby irrevocably that the obligations of such
Guaranteeing Subsidiary will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after
giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guaranteeing
Subsidiary 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 Article Ten of the Indenture, result in the obligations of such
Guaranteeing Subsidiary under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance or such an unlawful shareholder distribution.

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

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

substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge with or into

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

            (ii) either:

                  (A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or
            disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
            consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) is a
            corporation or limited liability company organized or existing under
            the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of
            Columbia and assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the
            Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement
            pursuant to a supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory to the
            Trustee; or

                  (B) such sale or other disposition or consolidation or merger
            complies with Section 4.10 of the Indenture.

            (b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance

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

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

            5. Release.

            (a) Any Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations
under its Note Guarantee, (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition
of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Affiliate of the Company,
if the sale of all such Capital Stock of that Guarantor complies with Section
4.10 of the Indenture; (ii) if the Company properly designates that Guarantor as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary under the Indenture or (iii) solely in the case of a
Note Guarantee created pursuant to the second sentence of Section 4.18(a) of the
Indenture, upon the release or discharge of the Guarantee which resulted in the
creation of such Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.18(b) of the Indenture,
except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee.
Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that one of the foregoing requirements has been
satisfied and the conditions to the release of a Guarantor under this Section 5
have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required
in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under
its Note Guarantee.

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

Indenture, no director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have any liability for any obligations of such
Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or
for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or
their creation.
