                  Section 1.03    Incorporation by Reference of TIA. Whenever
this Indenture refers to a provision of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended, the provision is incorporated by reference in, and made a part of, this
Indenture. Any terms incorporated by reference in this Indenture that are
defined by the TIA, defined by the TIA's reference to another statute or defined
by Commission rule under the TIA have the meanings so assigned to them therein.

                  Section 1.04    Rules of Construction. Unless the context
otherwise requires: (1) a term has the meaning assigned to it in this Indenture;
(2) an accounting term not otherwise defined herein has the meaning assigned to
it under GAAP; (3) "OR" is not exclusive; (4) words in the singular include the
plural, and in the plural include the singular; (5) provisions apply to
successive events and transactions; and (6) unless otherwise specified, any
reference to a Section or Article refers to such Section or Article of this
Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                    THE NOTES

                  Section 2.01   Form and Dating. The (i) Initial Notes and
the Trustee's certificate of authentication therefor, (ii) Additional Notes and
the Trustee's certificate of authentication therefor and (iii) Private Exchange
Notes and the Trustee's certificate of authentication therefor shall each be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A. The Exchange Notes and the Trustee's

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

certificate of authentication therefor shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit B. The notation on each of such Notes relating to the Subsidiary
Guarantees shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit C. The Notes may
have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or
usage. The Company and the Trustee shall approve the form of the Notes and any
notation, legend or endorsement on them. Each Note shall be dated the date of
its issuance and shall show the date of its authentication. Each note shall bear
the corporate seal of the Company which shall be attested by the Company's
secretary or an assistant secretary.

                  The terms and provisions contained in the Notes and the
Subsidiary Guarantees shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of
this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture,
expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

                  Section 2.02    Execution and Authentication. Two Officers of
the Company shall sign each Note for the Company by manual or facsimile
signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that
office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be
valid. Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute the Subsidiary Guarantee in the
manner set forth in Section 11.04. A Note shall not be valid until authenticated
by the manual signature of the Trustee, and the Trustee's signature shall be
conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.
The form of Trustee's certificate of authentication to be borne by the Notes
shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit A or B, as applicable. The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to
authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an
authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each
reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes
authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an
Agent to deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

                  The Trustee (i) shall authenticate Initial Notes for original
issue in the aggregate principal amount of $180,000,000 and (ii) shall
authenticate Additional Notes, in each case, as otherwise set forth in Appendix
A upon receipt of a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each complying with Section 314(c) of the
TIA. The Officers' Certificate shall also specify the amount of Notes to be
authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated. The
aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed
$280,000,000, except as provided in Section 2.07. Upon receipt of a written
order of the Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate, the Trustee shall
authenticate Notes in substitution of Notes originally issued to reflect any
name change of the Company.

                  Section 2.03    Registrar; Paying Agent; Depositary. The
Company shall maintain an office or agency (the "Registrar") where Notes may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange and an office or agency
(the "Paying Agent") where Notes may be presented for payment. The Registrar
shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The
Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying
agents. The term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The
Company may change the Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without prior
notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall
notify the Holders of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this
Indenture. The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, and such agreement shall
incorporate the provisions of the TIA and implement the provisions of this
Indenture that relate to such Agent.

                  The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar,
Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the
Notes. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain a Registrar and/or Paying
Agent, the Trustee shall act as such, and shall be entitled to appropriate
compensation in accordance with Section 7.07.

                  The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with
respect to any Global Notes and initially appoints the Trustee to act as Notes
Custodian with respect to any Global Notes.

                  Section 2.04   Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The
Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in
writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders
or the Trustee all money the Paying Agent holds for the redemption or purchase
of the Notes or for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest
on, the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in
providing the Paying Agent with sufficient funds to redeem or purchase Notes or
make any payment on the Notes as and to the extent required to be redeemed,
purchased or paid under the terms of this Indenture. While any such default
continues, the Trustee may require the Paying Agent to pay all money it holds to
the Trustee. The Company at any time may require the Paying Agent to pay all
money it holds to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying
Agent (if other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) shall have no further
liability for the money it delivered to the Trustee. If the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate
trust fund for the Holders' benefit all money it holds as Paying Agent.

                  Section 2.05   Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in
as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to
it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section
312(a) of the TIA. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee, semiannually at least fifteen Business Days before each
interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list
in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require that sets
forth the names and addresses of, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes
held by, each Holder, and the Company shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a)
of the TIA.

                  Section 2.06   Transfer and Exchange. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2 of Appendix A, when Notes are presented to the Registrar
or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for
an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall
register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements, including,
without limitation, compliance with Appendix A, for such transaction are met;
provided, however, that any Note presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and the Trustee
duly executed by the Holder of such Note or by its attorney duly authorized in
writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall
Issue (and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute the Subsidiary Guarantee
endorsed thereon),

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

and the Trustee shall authenticate, Notes at the Registrar's request. The
Trustee shall notify the Company of all such registered transfers and exchanges
contemporaneously with the occurrence of such transfer or exchange.

                  Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required to
issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note (i) during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of
notice of any redemption from the Company and ending at the close of business on
the day the notice of redemption is sent to Holders, (ii) selected for
redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being
redeemed in part may be transferred or exchanged, and (iii) during a Change of
Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer if such Note is tendered pursuant to such
Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer and not withdrawn.

                  No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), 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 tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to
Section 2.10, 3.07 or 9.05, which the Company shall pay).

                  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any
Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in
whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note (whether or
not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or
other writing on such Note made by anyone other than the Company, the Registrar
or any co-registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, such Note and for all other purposes, and
notice to the contrary shall not affect the Trustee, any Agent or the Company.

                  Any Holder of the Global Note shall, by acceptance of such
Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note
may be effected only through a book-entry system (as described in Section 2.1(b)
of Appendix A) maintained by the Depository (or its agent), and that ownership
of a beneficial interest in the Global Note shall be required to be reflected in
a book entry.

                  Section 2.07   Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is
surrendered to the Trustee, or if the Company and the Trustee receive evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company
shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order signed by two
Officers of the Company, authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee's
requirements are met, and each such replacement Note shall be an additional
obligation of the Company. If the Trustee or the Company requires, the Holder
must supply an indemnity bond that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee
and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or any
authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is
replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge for its reasonable expenses in
replacing a Note.

                  Section 2.08   Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at
any time are all the Notes the Trustee has authenticated except those it has
cancelled, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this
Section 2.08 as not outstanding. If a Note is replaced

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee
receives proof satisfactory to it that a bona fide purchaser holds the replaced
Note. If the entire principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued interest on,
any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and
interest on it ceases to accrue. Subject to Section 2.09, a Note does not cease
to be outstanding because the Company or any Affiliate of the Company holds such
Note.

                  Section 2.09   Treasury Notes. In determining whether the
Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company shall be considered as though they are not outstanding; provided,
however, that for the purpose 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. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Notes that the Company or any Affiliate of the Company offers to
purchase or acquires pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or otherwise
shall not be deemed to be owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company
until legal title to such Notes passes to the Company or such Affiliate, as the
case may be.

                  Section 2.10   Temporary Notes. Until Definitive Notes are
ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee 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. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and
the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order signed by two Officers of the
Company, shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.
Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights,
benefits and privileges as Definitive Notes.

                  Section 2.11   Cancellation. The Company at any time may
deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, any co-registrar,
the Paying Agent, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall forward to the Trustee
any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange,
replacement, payment (including all Notes called for redemption and all Notes
accepted for payment pursuant to an Offer) or cancellation, and the Trustee
shall cancel all such Notes and shall destroy all cancelled Notes (subject to
the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) and deliver a certificate
of their destruction to the Company unless, by written order signed by two
Officers of the Company, the Company shall direct that cancelled Notes be
returned to it. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace any Notes that
have been cancelled by the Trustee or that have been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation. If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company acquires any
Notes (other than by redemption pursuant to Section 3.01 or an Offer pursuant to
Section 4.13 or 4.14), such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until such
Notes are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

                  Section 2.12   Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults
in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in
any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted
interest, to Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the
rate provided in the Notes and Section 4.01. The Company shall, with the
Trustee's consent, fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and
payment date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or,
at the request of the Company, the

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

Trustee in the name of, and at the expense of, the Company) shall mail a notice
that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of
interest to be paid.

                  Section 2.13   Record Date. The record date for purposes of
determining the identity of holders of Notes entitled to vote or consent to any
action by vote or consent authorized or permitted under this Indenture shall be
determined as provided for in Section 316(c) of the TIA.

                  Section 2.14   CUSIP Number. A "CUSIP" number will be
printed on the Notes, and the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of
redemption, purchase or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any
such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Notes and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Notes. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP
number.

                  Section 2.15   Liquidated Damages Under Registration Rights
Agreement. Under certain circumstances, the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors may be obligated to pay liquidated damages to Holders, all as and to
the extent set forth in the Issue Date Registration Rights Agreement or any
Registration Rights Agreement applicable to Additional Notes. The terms thereof
are hereby incorporated herein by reference and liquidated damages is deemed to
be interest for purposes of this Indenture.

                  Section 2.16   Additional Notes. The Company may, from time
to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this
Indenture (including, without limitation, the covenant under Section 4.07),
without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture
Additional Notes having terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A identical to
those of other Notes, except that Additional Notes:

                  (i)      may have a different issue date from other Notes;

                  (ii)     may have a different amount of interest payable on
         the first interest payment date after issuance than is payable on other
         Notes;

                  (iii)    may have terms specified in the Additional Note Board
         Resolution or Additional Note Supplemental Indenture for such
         Additional Notes making appropriate adjustments to this Article II and
         Exhibit A (and related definitions) applicable to such Additional Notes
         in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act
         (or other applicable securities laws) and any registration rights or
         similar agreement applicable to such Additional Notes, which are not
         adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any outstanding Notes
         (other than such Additional Notes); and

                  (iv)     may be entitled to liquidated damages as provided in
         Section 2.15 not applicable to other outstanding Notes and may not be
         entitled to such liquidated damages applicable to other outstanding
         Notes.

                  Section 3.01   Redemption Provisions. (a) Except as set
forth below and in Section 3.01(b) and as described below, the Notes are not
redeemable at the Company's option prior to December 15, 2006. On and after such
date, the Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in
whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the
principal amount of the Notes) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest
to the date fixed for redemption, if redeemed during the twelve-month period
beginning on December 15, of the years indicated below.

</TABLE>

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to
December 15, 2004, the Company may, at its option, use the net proceeds of one
or more Public Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes originally issued at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of
the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the
date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that at least $117.0 million in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding immediately after
any such redemption.

                  (b)      At any time prior to December 15, 2006, the Notes
may be redeemed as a whole but not in part at the option of the Company, upon
not less than 30 or more than 60 days' prior notice mailed by first-class mail
to each holder's registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus the Make Whole Premium as of, and accrued but
unpaid interest, if any, to, the redemption date, subject to the right of
holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date.

                  "Make Whole Premium" means with respect to a Note at any
redemption date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Note or
(ii) the excess of (A) the present value of (1) the redemption price of such
Note at December 15, 2006 (such redemption price being set forth in the table in
Section 3.01(a)) plus (2) all required interest payments due on such Note
through December 15, 2006, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury
Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the then-outstanding principal amount of
such Note.

                  "Treasury Rate" means the yield to maturity at the time of
computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as
compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.
15(519) which has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to
the redemption date or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any
publicly available source or similar market data) most nearly equal to the
period from the redemption date to December 15, 2006; provided, however, that if
the period from the redemption date to December 15, 2006 is not equal to the
constant maturity of a United States

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate
shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth
of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities
for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the redemption
date to December 15, 2006 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on
actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant
maturity of one year shall be used.

                  Section 3.02   Notice to Trustee. If the Company elects to
redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(b), it shall furnish to
the Trustee, (i) at least 30 days (or such shorter period as the Trustee
consents to in its sole judgment) but not more than 60 days before notice of a
redemption is to be mailed to Holders, an Officers' Certificate stating that the
Company is redeeming Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(b), as
the case may be, the date notice of redemption is to be mailed to Holders, the
redemption date, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the
redemption price for such Notes, any calculations pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or
(b), the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes as of the
redemption date and, if applicable, the manner in which Notes are to be selected
for redemption, in accordance with Section 3.03, if less than all outstanding
Notes are to be redeemed. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company
shall, concurrently with delivery of its notice to the Trustee of a redemption,
cause the Registrar to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (upon which the
Trustee may rely) setting forth the name of, and the aggregate principal amount
of Notes held by each Holder.

                  If the Company is required to offer to purchase Notes pursuant
to Section 4.13 or 4.14, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least seven
Business Days before notice of the corresponding Offer is to be mailed to
Holders, an Officers' Certificate setting forth that the Offer is being made
pursuant to Section 4.13 or 4.14, as the case may be, the Purchase Date, the
maximum principal amount of Notes the Company is offering to purchase pursuant
to such Offer, the purchase price for such Notes, the amount of accrued and
unpaid interest on such Notes as of the Purchase Date and, if applicable, the
manner in which Notes are to be selected for purchase, in accordance with
Section 3.03, if less than all outstanding Notes are to be purchased.

                  The Company will also provide the Trustee with any additional
information that the Trustee reasonably requests in connection with any
redemption or Offer.

                  Section 3.03   Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or
Purchased. If less than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed or if less than
all Notes tendered pursuant to an Offer are to be purchased by the Company, the
Trustee, on behalf of the Company, shall select the outstanding Notes to be
redeemed or purchased by the Company, 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 listed on such an exchange the Trustee, on behalf of
the Company, shall select the outstanding Notes to be redeemed or purchased, on
a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method that the Trustee deems fair and
appropriate; provided that a redemption pursuant to the provisions relating to
Public Equity Offerings will be on a pro rata basis. Notes redeemed or purchased
in part shall only be redeemed or purchased in integral multiples of $1,000. If
the Company elects to mail notice of a redemption to Holders, the Trustee shall
at least five days prior to the date notice of redemption is to be mailed, (i)
select, on behalf of the Company, the Notes to be redeemed from Notes
outstanding not previously called for redemption, and

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

(ii) notify the Company of the names of each Holder of Notes selected for
redemption, the principal amount of Notes held by each such Holder and the
principal amount of such Holder's Notes that are to be redeemed. If fewer than
all Notes tendered pursuant to an Offer are to be purchased, the Trustee shall,
on behalf of the Company, select on or prior to the Purchase Date for such Offer
the Notes to be purchased. The Trustee shall select for redemption or purchase
Notes or portions of Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples
of $1,000. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this
Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or tendered pursuant to an
Offer also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or tendered pursuant
to an Offer. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Notes or
portions of Notes to be called for redemption or selected for purchase. The
Company shall notify the Trustee of its acceptance for payment of the Notes
selected for redemption or purchase.

                  Section 3.04   Notice of Redemption. (a) At least 30 days
but not more than 60 days before the redemption date, the Company shall mail by
first class mail a notice of redemption to each Holder of Notes that are to be
redeemed. With respect to any redemption of Notes, the notice shall identify the
Notes or portions thereof, if applicable, to be redeemed and shall state:
(1) the redemption date; (2) the redemption price for the Notes and the amount
of unpaid and accrued interest on such Notes as of the date of redemption;
(3) the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption
are being redeemed; (4) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of
the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption
date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion will be issued; (5) the name and address of the Paying
Agent; (6) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying
Agent to collect the redemption price for, and any accrued and unpaid interest
on, such Notes; (7) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption
payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after
the redemption date; and (8) that no representation is made as to the
correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number listed in such notice and printed on
the Notes.

                  (b)      At the Company's request, the Trustee shall (at the
Company's expense) give the notice of any redemption to Holders; provided,
however, that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior
to the date of any optional redemption and at least 10 days prior to the date
that notice of such redemption is to be mailed to Holders (or, in either case,
such shorter period as the Trustee consents to in its sole judgment) an
Officers' Certificate that (i) requests the Trustee to give notice of the
redemption to Holders, (ii) sets forth the information to be provided to Holders
in the notice of redemption, as set forth in the preceding paragraph, and (iii)
sets forth the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the amount
of accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the redemption date. If the Trustee
is not a Registrar, the Company shall, concurrently with any such request, cause
the Registrar to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (upon which the Trustee
may rely) setting forth the name of, the address of, and the aggregate principal
amount of Notes held by, each Holder; provided further that any such Officers'
Certificate may be delivered to the Trustee on a date later than permitted under
this Section 3.03(b) if such later date is acceptable to the Trustee.

                  Section 3.05   Effect of Notice of Redemption. Subject to
the provisions of Article X, and except if such redemption would violate the
terms of the Senior Credit Facility,

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and
payable on the redemption date at the price set forth in the Note.

                  Section 3.06   Deposit of Redemption Price. (a) On or prior
to any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued
interest on, all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying
Agent shall return to the Company, no later than five days after any redemption
date, any money (including accrued interest) that exceeds the amount necessary
to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes redeemed.

                  (b)      If the Company complies with Section 3.06(a),
interest on the Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Notes on the
applicable redemption date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment.
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 of 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, to the extent lawful, the Company shall pay
interest (including interest accruing on or after the filing of any petition in
bankruptcy or for reorganization of the Company, regardless of whether or not a
claim for post-filing interest is allowed in such proceedings) on the overdue
principal, premium, if any, and interest from the redemption date until such
principal, premium and interest are paid, at a rate equal to 2% per annum in
excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes compounded
semi-annually as provided in the Notes and Section 4.01.

                  Section 3.07   Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a
Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate for the Holder at the Company's expense a new Note equal in
principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    COVENANTS

                  Section 4.01   Payment of Principal, Premium, and Interest.
Subject to the provisions of Article X, the Company shall pay the principal of,
and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner
provided in the Notes. Holders must surrender their Notes to the Paying Agent to
collect principal payments. Principal, premium, or interest shall be considered
paid on the date due if, by 11 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on such date, the
Company has deposited with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds
designated for and sufficient to pay such principal, premium or interest;
provided, however, that principal, premium or interest shall not be considered
paid within the meaning of this Section 4.01 if money intended to pay such
principal, premium or interest is held by the Paying Agent for the benefit of
holders of Senior Debt of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Article X.
The Paying Agent shall return to the Company, no later than five days following
the date of payment, any money (including accrued interest) that exceeds the
amount then due and payable on the Notes.

                                      -27-

<PAGE>

                  The Company shall pay interest (including interest accruing on
or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization of the
Company, regardless of whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is
allowed in such proceedings) on overdue principal, premium and interest (without
regard to any applicable grace period) at a rate equal to 2% per annum in excess
of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes, compounded semiannually.

                  Payments of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on
any Global Notes will be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may
be, as the registered owner thereof. None of the Company, the Trustee nor any
Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests in any Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interest.

                  Section 4.02   Reports.  Whether or not the Company is then
subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will file
with the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the annual reports,
quarterly reports and other periodic reports which the Company would have been
required to file with the Commission pursuant to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) if
the Company were so subject, and such documents shall be filed with the
Commission on or prior to the respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by
which the Company would have been required so to file such documents if the
Company were so subject. The Company will also, in any event, (i) within 15 days
of each Required Filing Date, (a) transmit by mail to all holders of Notes, as
their names and addresses appear in the Note register, without cost to such
holders and (b) file with the Trustee copies of the annual reports, quarterly
reports and other periodic reports which the Company would have been required to
file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
if the Company were subject to such Sections and (ii) if filing such documents
by the Company with the Commission is prohibited under the Exchange Act,
promptly upon written request and payment of the reasonable cost of duplication
and delivery, supply copies of such documents to any prospective Holder at the
Company's cost. In addition, the Company will file with the Commission and with
the Trustee, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the
Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to
compliance with the conditions and covenants provided for herein as may be
required by such rules and regulations.

                  Section 4.03   Compliance Certificate. The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee, within 135 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company, an officers' certificate, which shall be executed, on behalf of the
Company, by two Officers at least one of which shall be the principal executive
officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the
Company, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Company and its
Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made to determine whether
the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled all of its obligations
under this Indenture and the Notes, (ii) such review was supervised by the
Officers of the Company signing such certificate, and (iii) that to the best
knowledge of each Officer signing such certificate, (a) the Company has kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled each and every condition and covenant
contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or,
if a Default or Event of Default occurred, describing all such Defaults or
Events of Default of which each such Officer may have knowledge and what action
the

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

Company has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto), and (b) no event
has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of
the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes are prohibited
or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the
Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. For purposes of this
paragraph, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of
grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder.

                  The Company will, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding,
deliver to the Trustee, promptly after any Officer of the Company becomes aware
of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers' Certificate specifying such
Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to
take with respect thereto.

                  The Company shall deliver to the Trustee such other
information or documents reasonably requested by the Trustee in connection with
the compliance by the Trustee or the Company with the TIA.

                  Section 4.04   Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any
time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit
or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, that might affect the covenants or the performance
of its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes; and the Company (to the
extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage
of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law,
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Trustee
pursuant to this Indenture, but will suffer and permit the execution of every
such power as though no such law has been enacted.

                  Section 4.05   Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, make any Restricted Payment, unless at the time of and immediately
after giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment (with the value of any
such Restricted Payment, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a board
resolution), (i) no Default or Event of Default (and no event that, after notice
or lapse of time, or both, would become an "event of default" under the terms of
any Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries) shall have occurred and be
continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof, (ii) the Company could incur
at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of Section
4.07(a) and (iii) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made after the
Issue Date shall not exceed the sum of (x) an amount equal to the Company's
Cumulative Operating Cash Flow less 1.4 times the Company's Cumulative
Consolidated Interest Expense, plus (y) the aggregate amount of all net cash
proceeds received after the Issue Date by the Company from the issuance and sale
(other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of Capital Stock of the Company
(other than Disqualified Stock) to the extent that such proceeds are not used to
redeem, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire Capital Stock or any
Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to clause (ii) of Section
4.05(b), plus (z) in the case of the disposition or repayment of any Investment
for cash, which Investment constituted a Restricted Payment made after the Issue
Date, an amount equal to the lesser of the return of capital with respect to
such Investment and the cost of such Investment, in either case, reduced

                                      -29-

<PAGE>

(but not below zero) by the excess, if any, of the cost of the disposition of
such Investment over the gain, if any, realized by the Company or such
Subsidiary in respect of such disposition.

                  (b)      The provisions of Section 4.05(a) will not prohibit,
so long as there is no Default or Event of Default continuing, the following
actions (collectively, "Permitted Payments"):

                  (i)      the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the
         date of declaration thereof, if at such declaration date such payment
         would have been permitted under this Indenture;

         to a Subsidiary of the Company), within six months prior to the
         consummation of such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or
         other such acquisition of any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of the
         Company, of Capital Stock of the Company (other than any Disqualified
         Stock);

                  (iii)    the repurchase, redemption or other repayment of any
         Subordinated Debt of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor in exchange
         for, by conversion into or solely out of the proceeds of the
         substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the
         Company) of Subordinated Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary
         Guarantor with a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater
         than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the
         Subordinated Debt repurchased, redeemed or repaid;

                  (iv)     the payment of ordinary dividends by the Company in

         are held by any member or former member of the Company's (or any
         Subsidiary's) management, or by any of their respective directors,
         employees or consultants; provided that the aggregate price paid for
         all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Capital Stock may
         not exceed the sum of $750,000 in any calendar year (with unused
         amounts in any calendar year being available to be so utilized in
         succeeding calendar years);

                  (xi)     other Restricted Payments not to exceed $10,000,000
         in the aggregate.

                  (c)      In computing the amount of Restricted Payments for
purposes of Section 4.05(a)(iii), Restricted Payments made under clauses (i),
(iv), (vi), (viii) and (x) of Section 4.05(b) shall be included and Restricted
Payments made under clauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vii), (ix) and (xi) of Section
4.05(b) shall be excluded.

                  Section 4.06   Corporate Existence. Subject to Section 4.14
and Article V, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the
corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries in
accordance with the respective organizational documents of each of its
Subsidiaries and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of
the Company and each of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the
corporate, partnership or other existence of any Subsidiary, if the Board of
Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable
in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the
Holders.

                  Section 4.07   Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness.
(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
create, incur, assume or directly or indirectly guarantee or in any other manner
become directly or indirectly liable for ("incur") any Indebtedness (including
Acquired Debt) if, at the time of and immediately after giving pro forma effect
to such incurrence, the Debt to Operating Cash Flow Ratio of the Company and its
Subsidiaries is more than 7.0 to 1.0.

                  (b) Section 4.07(a) will not apply to the incurrence of any of
the following (collectively, "Permitted Indebtedness"):

         any Subsidiary Guarantor; provided that any such Indebtedness shall be
         at all times held by a Person which is either the Company or a
         Subsidiary Guarantor; and provided, further that an incurrence of
         additional Indebtedness which is not permitted under this Section
         4.07(b)(iv) shall be deemed to have occurred upon either (a) the
         transfer or other disposition of any such Indebtedness to a Person
         other than the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor or (b) the sale,
         lease, transfer or other disposition of shares of Capital Stock

         to be outstanding; provided, however, that the notional principal

         the Company incurred in connection with or given in exchange for the
         renewal, extension, substitution, refunding, defeasance, refinancing or

         incurred under this clause (viii) with respect to any of the foregoing
         ("Refinancing Indebtedness"); provided that (a) the principal amount of
         such Refinancing Indebtedness shall not exceed the principal amount of
         the Indebtedness so renewed, extended, substituted, refunded, defeased,
         refinanced or replaced (plus the premiums paid in connection therewith
         (which shall not exceed the stated amount of any premium or other
         payment required to be paid in connection with such a refinancing
         pursuant to the terms of the Indebtedness being renewed, extended,
         substituted, refunded, defeased, refinanced or replaced) and the
         expenses incurred in connection therewith); (b) with respect to
         Refinancing Indebtedness of any Indebtedness other than Senior Debt,
         the Refinancing Indebtedness shall have a Weighted Average Life to
         Maturity equal to or greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity
         of the Indebtedness being renewed, extended, substituted, refunded,
         defeased,

         refinanced or replaced; and (c) with respect to Refinancing
         Indebtedness of Indebtedness other than Senior Debt incurred by (1) the
         Company, such Refinancing Indebtedness shall rank no more senior, and
         shall be at least as subordinated, in right of payment to the Notes as
         the Indebtedness being renewed, extended, substituted, refunded,
         defeased, refinanced or replaced, and (2) a Subsidiary Guarantor, such
         Refinancing Indebtedness shall rank no more senior, and shall be at
         least as subordinated, in right of payment to the Subsidiary Guarantee
         as the Indebtedness being renewed, extended, substituted, refunded,
         defeased, refinanced or replaced; and

                  (ix)     Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries in
         addition to that described in clauses (i) through (viii) above, and any
         renewals, extensions, substitutions, refinancings or replacements of
         such Indebtedness, so long as the aggregate principal amount of all
         such Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (ix) does not exceed
         $20,000,000 at any one time outstanding.

                  (c)      For purposes of determining compliance with this
covenant:

                  (i)      In the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the
         criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness permitted
         pursuant to clauses (i) through (ix) above, the Company shall, in its
         sole discretion, be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness in
         any manner that complies with this covenant and may from time to time
         reclassify such items of Indebtedness in any manner that would comply
         with this covenant at the time of such reclassification;

                  (ii)     Indebtedness permitted by this covenant need not be
         permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such
         Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in
         part by one or more other provisions of this covenant permitting such
         Indebtedness;

                  (iii)    In the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of
         more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in this covenant,
         the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify such Indebtedness
         and only be required to include the amount of such Indebtedness in one
         of such clauses; and

                  (iv)     Accrual of interest (including interest paid-in-kind)
         and the accretion of accreted value will not be deemed to be an
         incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant.

                  (d)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant:
(i) the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded
solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies; and (ii)
Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Senior Credit Facility prior to or on the
date of the Indenture shall be treated as incurred pursuant to Section
4.07(a)(i).

                  Section 4.08   Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly, enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of
related transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, purchase,
exchange or lease of assets, property or services) with any Affiliate of the
Company or any

                                      -33-

<PAGE>

beneficial owner of ten percent or more of any class of Capital Stock of the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor unless (i) such transaction or series of
transactions is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, than would be available in a comparable
transaction in arm's-length dealings with an unrelated third party, and (ii) (a)
with respect to any transaction or series of transactions involving aggregate
payments in excess of $1,000,000, the Company delivers an Officers Certificate
to the Trustee certifying that such transaction or series of related
transactions complies with clause (i) above and such transaction or series of
related transactions has been approved by a majority of the members of the Board
of Directors (and approved by a majority of the Independent Directors or, in the
event there is only one Independent Director, by such Independent Director), and
(b) with respect to any transaction or series of transactions involving
aggregate payments in excess of $5,000,000, the Company delivers to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transaction or series of
transactions is fair to the Company or such Subsidiary from a financial point of
view issued by an investment banking firm of national standing. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this provision will not apply to (i) employment agreements or
compensation or employee benefit arrangements with any officer, director or
employee of the Company entered into in the ordinary course of business
(including customary benefits thereunder), (ii) any transaction entered into by
or among the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor and one or more Subsidiary
Guarantors, and (iii) transactions pursuant to agreements existing on the Issue
Date.

                  Section 4.09   Limitation on Liens. The Company will not,
and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any
asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom or
assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom to secure any
Indebtedness; provided that in addition to creating Permitted Liens on its
properties or assets, (i) the Company may create any Lien upon any of its
properties or assets (including, but not limited to, any Capital Stock of its
Subsidiaries) if the Notes are equally and ratably secured therewith, and (ii) a
Subsidiary Guarantor may create any Lien upon any of its properties or assets
(including, but not limited to, any Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries) if its
Subsidiary Guarantee is equally and ratably secured therewith; provided,
however, that if (a) the Company creates any Lien on its assets to secure any
Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company, the Company shall also create a Lien
to secure the Notes and the Lien securing such Subordinated Indebtedness shall
be subordinated and junior to the Lien securing the Notes with the same or
lesser priorities as the Subordinated Indebtedness shall have with respect to
the Notes, and (b) a Subsidiary Guarantor creates any Lien on its assets to
secure any Subordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor, the
Subsidiary Guarantor shall also create a Lien to secure the Subsidiary Guarantee
and the Lien securing such Subordinated Indebtedness shall be subordinated and
junior to the Lien securing the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary
Guarantor with the same or lesser priorities as the Subordinated Indebtedness
shall have with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary
Guarantor.

                  Section 4.10   Taxes. The Company shall, and shall cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, pay prior to delinquency all taxes, assessments and
governmental levies the failure of which to pay could reasonably be expected to
result in a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),
business or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole, except for those taxes contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings.

                  Section 4.11   Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment
Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Company will not, and will not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or
suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the
ability of any Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions
to the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company on its Capital Stock or
with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its
profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any other Subsidiary of
the Company, (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any other Subsidiary
of the Company, or (iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company
or any other Subsidiary of the Company (collectively, "Payment Restrictions"),
except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of (a)
the Senior Credit Facility as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments,
restatements, renewals, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided that such
amendments, restatements, renewals, replacement or refinancings are no more
restrictive in the aggregate with respect to such dividend and other payment
restrictions than those contained in the Senior Credit Facility immediately
prior to any such amendment, restatement, renewal, replacement or refinancing,
(b) applicable law, (c) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock
of an Acquired Person acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as in
effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness
was incurred in connection with such acquisition); provided that such
restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any
Person, other than the Acquired Person, (d) customary non-assignment provisions
in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with
past practices, (e) purchase money Indebtedness for property acquired in the
ordinary course of business that only impose restrictions on the property so
acquired, (f) an agreement for the sale or disposition of the Capital Stock or
assets of such Subsidiary; provided that such restriction is only applicable to
such Subsidiary or assets, as applicable, and such sale or disposition otherwise
is permitted under the covenant described under Section 4.14; and provided,
further, that such restriction or encumbrance shall be effective only for a
period from the execution and delivery of such agreement through a termination
date not later than 270 days after such execution and delivery, and (g)
Refinancing Indebtedness permitted under this Indenture; provided that the
restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Refinancing Indebtedness
are no more restrictive in the aggregate than those contained in the agreements
governing the Indebtedness being refinanced immediately prior to such
refinancing.

                  Section 4.12   Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company
will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or an
agency (which may be an office of any Agent) where Notes may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the
location of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office.

                  The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for
any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations;
provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any matter
relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain an office or agency in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, for such purposes. The Company

                                      -35-

<PAGE>

will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

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

                  Section 4.13   Change of Control. (a) In the event of a
Change of Control, Company will make an offer to purchase all of the then
outstanding Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
purchase, in accordance with the terms set forth below (a "Change of Control
Offer").

                  (b)      Within 30 days after any Change of Control, the
Company shall mail to each Holder of Notes at such Holder's registered address a
notice stating: (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder
has the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion (equal to
$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes at a purchase
price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (the "Change Of Control
Purchase Date"), which shall be a Business Day, specified in such notice, that
is not earlier than 30 days or later than 60 days from the date such notice is
mailed, (ii) the amount of accrued and unpaid interest as of the Change of
Control Purchase Date, (iii) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue
interest, (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase
price for the Notes payable pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, any Notes
accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to
accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date, (v) that Holders
electing to tender any Note or portion thereof will be required to surrender
their Note, with a form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" completed,
to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of
business on the Business Day preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date;
provided that Holders electing to tender only a portion of any Note must tender
a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; (vi) that Holders
will be entitled to withdraw their election to tender Notes if the Paying Agent
receives, not later than the close of business on the third Business Day
preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal
amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased; and (vii) that Holders
whose Notes are accepted for payment in part will be issued new Notes equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of Notes surrendered; provided that
only Notes in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof will be
accepted for payment in part.

                  (c)      On the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company
will (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to
the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent the aggregate
purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment and any
accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes as of the Change of Control Purchase
Date, and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee all Notes
tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. The Paying Agent shall
promptly mail to each Holder of Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment
an amount equal to the purchase price for such Notes plus any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such
Holder of Notes accepted for payment in part a new Note equal in principal

                                      -36-

<PAGE>

amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes, and any Note not accepted for
payment in whole or in part for any reason consistent with this Indenture shall
be promptly returned to the Holder of such Note. On and after a Change of
Control Purchase Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions
thereof accepted for payment, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the
purchase price therefor. The Company will announce the results of the Change of
Control Offer to Holders of the Notes on or as soon as practicable after the
Change of Control Purchase Date.

                  (d)      The Company will comply with the applicable tender
offer rules, including the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act,
and all other applicable securities laws and regulations in connection with any
Change of Control Offer.

                  Section 4.14   Limitation on Asset Sales. (a) The Company
will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Sale
unless (i) the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives
consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market
value (determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, which determination
shall be evidenced by a board resolution) of the assets or other property sold
or disposed of in the Asset Sale, and (ii) at least 75% of such consideration is
in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that for purposes of this
covenant "cash" shall include the amount of any liabilities (other than
liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary
Guarantee) of the Company or such Subsidiary (as shown on the Company's or such
Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) that are assumed
by the transferee of any such assets or other property in such Asset Sale (and
excluding any liabilities that are incurred in connection with or in
anticipation of such Asset Sale), but only to the extent that such assumption is
effected on a basis under which there is no further recourse to the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries with respect to such liabilities.

                  Notwithstanding clause (ii) above, (a) all or a portion of the
consideration for any such Asset Sale may consist of all or substantially all of
the assets or a majority of the Voting Stock of an existing television business,
franchise or station (whether existing as a separate entity, subsidiary,
division, unit or otherwise) or any business directly related thereto, (b) Asset
Sales involving assets which are not television or publishing businesses,
franchises or stations and having an aggregate value (as measured by the value
of the consideration being paid for such assets) not in excess of $40,000,000
may be made without regard to clause (ii) above, and (c) the Company may, and
may permit its Subsidiaries to, issue shares of Capital Stock in a Qualified
Joint Venture to a Qualified Joint Venture Partner without regard to clause (ii)
above; provided, that, in the case of any of (a), (b) or (c) of this sentence,
after giving effect to any such Asset Sale and related acquisition of assets or
Voting Stock, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be
continuing; and (y) the Net Proceeds of any such Asset Sale, if any, are applied
in accordance with this covenant.

                  (b)      Within 360 days after any Asset Sale, the Company may
elect to apply or cause to be applied the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale to
(i) permanently reduce any Senior Debt of the Company or any Guarantor Senior
Debt, and/or (ii) make an investment in, or acquire assets directly related to
the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries existing on the Issue Date.
Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company may
temporarily reduce Senior Debt of the Company or any Guarantor Senior Debt or
temporarily

                                      -37-

<PAGE>

invest such Net Proceeds in any manner permitted by this Indenture. Any Net
Proceeds from an Asset Sale not applied or invested as provided in the first
sentence of this paragraph within 360 days of such Asset Sale will be deemed to
constitute "Excess Proceeds" on the 361st day after such Asset Sale.

                  (c)      As soon as practical, but in no event later than 10
Business Days after any date (an "Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date") that the
aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5,000,000, the Company shall
commence an offer to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be
purchased out of all such Excess Proceeds (an "Asset Sale Offer") at a price in
cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the date of purchase (the "Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date"). To the
extent that any Excess Proceeds remain after completion of an Asset Sale Offer,
the Company may use the remaining amount for general corporate purposes and such
amount shall no longer constitute "Excess Proceeds."

                  (d)      Within 30 days following any Asset Sale Offer Trigger
Date, the Company shall mail to each holder of Notes at such holder's registered
address a notice stating: (i) that an Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date has occurred
and that the Company is offering to purchase the maximum principal amount of
Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest
to the Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date, which shall be a Business Day, specified
in such notice, that is not earlier than 30 days or later than 60 days from the
date such notice is mailed, (ii) the amount of accrued and unpaid interest as of
the Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date, (iii) that any Note not tendered will
continue to accrue interest, (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in the
payment of the purchase price for the Notes payable pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall
cease to accrue interest after the Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date, (v) that
Holders electing to tender any Note or portion thereof will be required to
surrender their Note, with a form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase"
completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to
the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Asset Sale Offer
Purchase Date; provided that Holders electing to tender only a portion of any
Note must tender a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof;
(vi) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election to tender Notes if
the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the third
Business Day preceding the Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date, a telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the
principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased; and (vii) that
Holders whose Notes are accepted for payment in part will be issued new Notes
equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of Notes surrendered;
provided that only Notes in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples
thereof will be accepted for payment in part.

                  (e)      On the Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date, the Company
will (i) accept for payment the maximum principal amount of Notes or portions
thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer that can be purchased out of
Excess Proceeds from such Asset Sale, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent the
aggregate purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment
and any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes as of the Asset Sale Offer
Purchase Date, and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee all
Notes tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. If less than all Notes tendered
pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer are to be

                                      -38-

<PAGE>

purchased by the Company, the Trustee, on behalf of the Company, shall select
the outstanding Notes to be purchased by the Company 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 listed on such an exchange, the
Trustee on behalf of the Company, shall select the outstanding Notes to be
purchased, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems
fair and appropriate; provided that Notes purchased in part shall only be
purchased in integral multiples of $1,000. The Company shall notify the Trustee
of its acceptance for payment of Notes selected for purchase. The Paying Agent
shall promptly mail to each holder of Notes or portions thereof accepted for
payment an amount equal to the purchase price for such Notes plus any accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and
mail to such Holder of Notes accepted for payment in part a new Note equal in
principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes, and any Note not
accepted for payment in whole or in part shall be promptly returned to the
Holder of such Note. On and after an Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date, interest
will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment,
unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price therefor. The
Company will announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer to Holders on or as
soon as practicable after the Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date.

                  (f)     The Company will comply with the applicable tender
offer rules, including the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act,
and all other applicable securities laws and regulations in connection with any
Asset Sale Offer.

                  Section 4.15   Limitation on Incurrence of Senior
Subordinated Indebtedness. The Company will not, directly or indirectly (a)
incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any
Indebtedness that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any
Indebtedness of the Company and senior in any respect in right of payment to the
Notes, and (b) permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to incur, create, issue, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinated
or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor
and senior in any respect in right of payment to the Subsidiary Guarantee of
such Subsidiary Guarantor.

                  Section 4.16   Limitation on Issuance and Sale of Capital
Stock of Subsidiaries. The Company (a) will not, and will not permit any
Subsidiary of the Company to, transfer, convey, sell or otherwise dispose of any
shares of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary (other than
to the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor) except that the Company and any
Subsidiary may, in any single transaction, sell all, but not less than all, of
the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of any subsidiary to any Person,
subject to complying with the provisions of this Indenture applicable to such
sale and (b) will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to issue shares of
its Capital Stock (other than directors' qualifying shares), or securities
convertible into, or warrants, rights or options to subscribe for or purchase
shares of, its Capital Stock to any person other than to the Company or a
Subsidiary Guarantor; provided that the Company may, and may permit a Subsidiary
of the Company to, (x) issue shares of Capital Stock in a Qualified Joint
Venture to a Qualified Joint Venture Partner and (y) issue a majority of the
shares of Capital Stock of a Paging Subsidiary and a Satellite Uplink Subsidiary
in accordance with the covenant described under Section 4.14 (provided, however,
that any shares of Capital Stock issued pursuant to the foregoing clauses (x) or
(y) to any Person other

                                      -39-

than the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be of the most junior class of
Capital Stock of such issuing Person and shall, in no event, constitute
Preferred Stock of such issuing Person).

                  Section 4.17   Future Subsidiary Guarantors. The Company
shall cause each Subsidiary of the Company formed or acquired after the date of
this Indenture to execute and deliver an indenture supplemental to this
Indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit D and thereby become a Subsidiary

execute and deliver the guarantee endorsed on the Notes).

                  Section 4.18    Maintenance of Properties. The Company will
cause all properties used in the conduct of its business or the business of any
Subsidiary of the Company to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair
and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be
made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company advantageously conducted at all
times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company
or any Subsidiary of the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance
of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, as determined by the Board
of Directors in good faith, desirable in the conduct of the business of the
Company or of any of its Subsidiaries.

                  Section 4.19   Maintenance of Insurance. The Company shall,
and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep at all times all of their

Subsidiaries, sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all
or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related
transactions, to another Person or Persons unless (i) the Surviving Person is a
corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia; (ii) the Surviving Person (if other than
the Company) assumes all the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and
the Notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee; (iii) at the time of and immediately after such Disposition, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (iv) the

on a pro forma basis) equal to or greater than the Consolidated Net Worth of the
Company immediately preceding the transaction, and (B) at the time of such
Disposition and after giving pro forma effect thereto, the Surviving Person
would be permitted to issue at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant
to Section 4.07(a).

                  Section 5.02 Surviving Person Substituted. In the event of any
transaction (other than a lease) described in and complying with the conditions
listed in Section 5.01or Section 11.01(e) in which the Company or the Subsidiary
Guarantor, as the case may be, is not the Surviving Person and the Surviving
Person is to assume all the obligations of the Company or the Subsidiary
Guarantor under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, and this
Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture, such Surviving Person shall
succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of,
the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, and the Company or the Subsidiary
Guarantor would be discharged from its obligations under this Indenture, the
Notes or its Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, provided that solely for
the purpose of calculating amounts described in clause (iii) of Section 4.05(a),
any such Surviving Person shall only be deemed to have succeeded to and be
substituted for the Company with respect to the period subsequent to the
effective time of such transaction (and the Company (before giving effect to
such transaction) shall be deemed to be the "Company" for such purposes for all
prior periods).

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

         specified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above) which failure continues
         for 30 days after written notice thereof has been given to the Company
         by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at
         least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes;

                  (v)      the occurrence of one or more defaults under any

<PAGE>

                  (vi)     except as permitted by this Indenture, any Subsidiary
         Guarantee shall for any reason cease to be, or be asserted in writing
         by any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company not to be, in full force and
         effect, and enforceable in accordance with its terms;

                  (vii)    one or more judgments, orders or decrees for the

         orders or decrees are not paid, discharged, bonded or stayed for a
         period of 60 days after their entry;

                  (viii)   any holder or holders of at least $5,000,000 in

         shall notify the Company or the Trustee of the intended sale or
         disposition of any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the
         Company with an aggregate fair market value (as determined in good
         faith by the Board of Directors, which determination shall be evidenced
         by a board resolution), individually or in the aggregate, of at least
         $5,000,000 that have been pledged to or for the benefit of such holder
         or holders to secure such Indebtedness or (b) shall commence
         proceedings, or take any action (including by way of set off), to
         retain in satisfaction of such Indebtedness or to collect on, seize,
         dispose of or apply in satisfaction of such Indebtedness, such assets
         of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (including funds on
         deposit or held pursuant to lock-box and other similar arrangements);

                  (ix)     there shall have been the entry by a court of
         competent jurisdiction of (a) a decree or order for relief in respect
         of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in an involuntary case
         or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or (b) a decree or

         Company under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a
         custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or
         other similar official) of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company
         or of any substantial part of their respective properties, or ordering
         the winding up or liquidation of their affairs, and any such decree or
         order for relief shall continue to be in effect, or any such other
         decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect, for a period of 60
         days; or

                  (x)      (a) the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company

         consents to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the
         Company or such Subsidiary of the Company in an involuntary case or
         proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or to the commencement
         of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, (c) the
         Company or any Subsidiary of the Company files a petition or answer or
         consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal
         or state law, (d) the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (x)
         consents to the filing of such petition or the appointment of or taking
         possession by, a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
         sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or such
         Subsidiary of the Company or of any substantial part of their

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

         respective property, (y) makes an assignment for the benefit of
         creditors or (z) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts
         generally as they become due or (e) the Company or any Subsidiary of
         the Company takes any corporate action in furtherance of any such
         actions in this paragraph (x).

                  (b)      Any notice of default delivered to the Company by the
Trustee or by Holders of Notes with a copy to the Trustee must specify the
Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a "Notice of
Default."

                  Section 6.02 Acceleration. (a) If any Event of Default (other
than an Event of Default specified under Section 6.01(a)(ix) or (x) with respect
to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor) occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall,
declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. In the case of an Event
of Default arising from the events specified in Sections 6.01(a)(ix) or (x) with
respect to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, the principal of, premium,
if any, and any accrued and unpaid interest on all outstanding Notes shall ipso
facto become immediately due and payable without further action or notice.

                  (b)      The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may rescind any
declaration of acceleration of such Notes and its consequences if the rescission
would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Defaults and
Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of principal or premium, if any, or
interest on, the Notes which shall have become due by such declaration) shall
have been cured or waived.

                  Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the
payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes or to
enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The
Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes
or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the
Trustee or any Holder 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. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice
to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any
existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture
except (i) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (which may only be
waived with the consent of each Holder of Notes affected), or (ii) in respect of
a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected. Upon any such waiver, such
Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefore shall
deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; provided that no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

                  Section 6.05 Control by Majority of Holders. Subject to
Section 7.01(e), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or
power conferred on it by this Indenture. However, the Trustee may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee
determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, or would
involve the Trustee in personal liability.

                  Section 6.06 Limitation of Suits by Holders. Except to enforce
the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when
due, a Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes
only if: (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee notice of a continuing Event of
Default; (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes make a request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (3) such
Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee
against any loss, liability or expense; (4) the Trustee does not comply with the
request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity;
and (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a
direction inconsistent with the request. A Holder may not use this Indenture to
prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority
over another Holder. Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture, except
as provided herein.

                  Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder
to receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, a
Note, on or after a respective due date expressed in the Note, or to bring suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective date, 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 (i) the principal, premium, if any, and
interest remaining unpaid on the Notes, (ii) interest on overdue principal and
premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest, and (iii) 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 ("Trustee Expenses").

                  Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may
file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for Trustee
Expenses and for amounts due under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding relative to the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and
empowered to collect, receive and distribute to Holders any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and each Holder authorizes
any Custodian in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to make such
payments to the Trustee, and if the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders any such Custodian is hereby authorized to make
such payments directly to the Holders, and to pay to the Trustee any amount due
to it hereunder for Trustee Expenses, and any other amounts due the Trustee
under

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

Section 7.07; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be authorized to (i)
consent to, 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 (ii) vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To the extent that the payment of any such
Trustee Expenses, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out
of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of
the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all
distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties which the
Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding, whether in liquidation or
under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

                  Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money
pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

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

                  Second: to the holders of Senior Debt to the extent required
by Articles X and XI;

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

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

                  The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to Holders.

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

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                     TRUSTEE

                  Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default
occurs (and has not been cured) the Trustee shall (i) exercise the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and (ii) use the same degree of care and
skill in exercising such rights and powers as a prudent man would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

                  (b)      Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) the Trustee's duties 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 they conform to this Indenture's
requirements.

                  (c)      The Trustee shall not be relieved from liability for
its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, except, that: (i) this Section 7.01(c) does not limit the effect of
Section 7.01(b); (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (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 it receives pursuant to Section 6.05.

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

                  (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 Holders shall have offered
to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense.

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

                  Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may rely on
any document it believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in
any such 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; provided
that such action or omission does not constitute gross negligence. The Trustee
may consult with counsel and advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it under this Indenture in good faith and in
reliance on such advice or opinion.

                  (c)      The Trustee may act through 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 in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its
rights or powers.

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

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

                  Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, if the Trustee acquires
any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply
to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee, or resign. Each Agent
shall have the same rights as the Trustee under this Section 7.03.

                  Section 7.04 Trustee's Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of
this Indenture or the Notes; it shall not be accountable for the Company's use
of the proceeds from the Notes or for any money paid to the Company or upon the
Company's direction under any provisions of this Indenture; it shall not be
responsible for the use or application of any money that any Paying Agent other
than the Trustee receives; and, it shall not be responsible for any statement or
recital in this Indenture or any statement in the Notes or any other document
executed in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture
other than its certificate of authentication.

                  Section 7.05 Notice to Holders of Defaults and Events of
Default. 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 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 on any Note (including any failure to
redeem Notes called for redemption or any failure to purchase Notes tendered
pursuant to an Offer that are required to be purchased by the terms of this
Indenture), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the board of
directors, the executive committee or a committee of its Trust Officers
determines in good faith that withholding such notice is in the Holders'
interests.

                  Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. On or before June
15 in each year following the date hereof, so long as any Notes are outstanding
hereunder, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a brief report dated as of such
reporting date that complies with Section 313(a) of the TIA (but if no event
described in Section 313(a) of the TIA has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also
shall comply with Section 313(b)(2) of the TIA. The Trustee shall also transmit
by mail all reports as required by Section 313(c) of the TIA.

                  A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders
shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange, if any, on which the
Notes are listed. The Company shall notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed
on any stock exchange.

                  Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay
to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services
hereunder, as mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Trustee. The Trustee's
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses it incurs or makes in

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the
reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and
counsel.

                  The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and each of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and counsel against any
and all losses, liabilities or expenses the Trustee incurs arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this
Indenture, except as set forth below. The Trustee shall notify the Company
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that
failure by the Trustee to provide the Company with any such notice shall not
relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Section 7.07. The
Trustee shall cooperate in the defense of any such claim. The Trustee may have
separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                  The Company's obligations under this Section 7.07 shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The Company need not
reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability the Trustee
incurs as a result of its negligence or willful misconduct.

                  To secure payment of the Company's obligations under this
Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or
property the Trustee holds or collects, except any funds from time to time held

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

                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(viii) or (ix) occurs, the expenses
and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its
agents and counsel) are intended to constitute administrative expenses under any
Bankruptcy Law without any need to demonstrate substantial contribution under
Bankruptcy Law.

                  Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal
of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective

the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee; provided that the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee
to replace any successor Trustee appointed by Company.

outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the

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

                  A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, 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
appointment to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all
property it holds as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums
owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid. Notwithstanding
replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company's
obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the retiring Trustee's benefit
with respect to expenses and liabilities relating to the retiring Trustee's

indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any
future appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be contained in any such
amended or supplemental indenture, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to

amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section
9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to each Holder affected thereby a
notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of

is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or
portion of a Note that evidences the same Indebtedness as the consenting
Holder's Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However,
any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his or her
Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation
before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers' Certificate
certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have
consented to the amendment or waiver.

                  (b)      The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a
record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Notes entitled to
consent to any amendment or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then
notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those
Persons who were Holders of Notes at such record date (or their duly designated
proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment
or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons
continue to be

                                      -54-
<PAGE>

Holders of Notes after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective
for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the
principal amount of Notes required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be
effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.

                  (c)      After an amendment or waiver becomes effective it
shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in Section 9.02(c),
in which case the amendment or waiver shall only bind each Holder that consented
to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder's Note. Section

                  9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place
an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note
thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and
the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement
or waiver. 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 Protected. The Trustee shall sign any amendment
or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the
amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or
immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it.
In signing such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel pursuant to
Sections 12.04 and 12.05 as conclusive evidence that such amendment or
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is
not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the
Company in accordance with its terms.

them, directly to the holders of the Company's Senior Debt (pro rata to such
holders on the basis of the amounts of Senior Debt held by them) or their
Representatives, as their interests may appear, for application to the payment
of all outstanding Senior Debt of the Company until all such Senior Debt has
been paid in full in cash or any other form acceptable to the holders of Senior
Debt, after giving effect to all other payments or distributions to, or
provisions made for, holders of the Company's Senior Debt.

Indenture, any Disposition by or involving the Company, or the liquidation or

premium if any) or interest on or any other amount payable in connection with
any Designated Senior Debt (a "Payment Default") and after the receipt by the
Trustee from a Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Debt of
written notice (a "Payment Blockage Notice") thereof, no payment or distribution
of any assets or securities of the Company of any kind or character (including,
without limitation, cash, property and any payment or distribution which may be
payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other Indebtedness of the
Company being subordinated to the payment of the Notes) (other than
Reorganization Securities) shall be made by the Company on account of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or any other amount payable in
connection with, the Notes or on account of the purchase, redemption, defeasance
(other than any payments made by the Trustee pursuant to Article VIII) or other
acquisition of or in respect of the Notes unless and until such Payment Default
has been cured, waived or has ceased to exist or such Designated Senior Debt
shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash or in any other manner
acceptable to the holders of Designated Senior Debt.

                  (b)      Upon the occurrence and continuance of any other
default with respect to any Designated Senior Debt (whether or not any
requirement for the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both, or any other
condition to such default becoming an event of default, has occurred) (a
"Non-Payment Default") and after the receipt by the Trustee from a
Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Debt of a Payment
Blockage Notice with respect to such Non-Payment Default, no payment or
distribution of any assets or securities of the Company of any kind or character
(including, without limitation, cash, property and any payment or distribution
which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other
Indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Notes)
(other than

                                      -56-
<PAGE>

Reorganization Securities) may be made by the Company on account of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or any other amount payable
in connection with, the Notes or on account of the purchase, redemption,
defeasance (other than any payments made by the Trustee pursuant to Article
VIII) or other acquisition of or in respect of the Notes for the period
specified below (the "Payment Blockage Period").

                  (c)      The Payment Blockage Period shall commence upon the
receipt by the Trustee of a Payment Blockage Notice with respect to the
Non-Payment Default from a Representative of the holders of any Designated
Senior Debt and shall end on the earliest of (x) the date on which such
Non-Payment Default is cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist or the
Designated Senior Debt related thereto shall have been discharged or paid in
full in cash or any other manner acceptable to holders of such Designated Senior
Debt, (y) 179 days after the date on which the Payment Blockage Notice with
respect to such default was received by the Trustee, unless the maturity of the
Designated Senior Debt under the Senior Credit Facility has been accelerated and
(z) the date such Payment Blockage Period is terminated by written notice to the
Trustee from a Representative of the holders of the Designated Senior Debt that
gave such Payment Blockage Notice, after which, in the case of clause (x), (y)
or (z), the Company shall resume making any and all required payments in respect
of the Notes, including any missed payments. During any consecutive 365-day
period, the aggregate number of days for which a Payment Blockage Period may
exist shall not exceed 179 days, only one Payment Blockage Period may be
commenced and there shall be a period of at least 186 consecutive days during
which no Payment Blockage Period shall be in effect. No event or circumstance
that creates a default under any Designated Senior Debt that (i) gives rise to
the commencement of a Payment Blockage Period or (ii) exists at the commencement
of or during any Payment Blockage Period shall be made the basis for the
commencement of any subsequent Payment Blockage Period, whether or not within a
period of 365 consecutive days, unless such default has been cured or waived for
a period of not less than 90 consecutive days following the commencement of the
initial Payment Blockage Period.

                  Section 10.04 When Distributions Must Be Paid Over. If the
Company shall make any payment to the Trustee on account of the principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, or any other Obligation in respect
to the Notes, or the Holders shall receive from any source any payment on
account of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes or
any Obligation in respect of the Notes, at a time when such payment is
prohibited by this Article X, the Trustee or such Holders shall hold such
payment in trust for the benefit of, and shall pay over and deliver to, the
holders of Senior Debt (pro rata as to each of such holders on the basis of the
respective amounts of such Senior Debt held by them) or their Representative or
the trustee under the indenture or other agreement (if any) pursuant to which
such Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear,
for application to the payment of all outstanding Senior Debt until all such
Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or any other form acceptable to the
holders of Senior Debt, after giving effect to all other payments or
distributions to, or provisions made for, the holders of Senior Debt.

                  With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee
undertakes to perform only such obligations on its part as are specifically set
forth in this Article X, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to
any holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the

                                      -57-
<PAGE>

holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any holders of such Senior
Debt, if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to, or on behalf of, Holders
or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of such
Senior Debt are entitled pursuant to this Article X, except if such payment is
made at a time (a) after the Trustee has received a Payment Blockage Notice or
(b) when a Trust Officer has knowledge that the terms of this Article X prohibit
such payment.

                  Section 10.05 Notice. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent
shall at any time be charged with the knowledge of the existence of any facts
that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee or Paying
Agent under this Article X, unless and until the Trustee or Paying Agent shall
have received written notice thereof from the Company or one or more holders of
Senior Debt or a Representative of any holders of such Senior Debt; and, prior
to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall be
entitled to assume conclusively that no such facts exist. The Trustee shall be
entitled to rely on the delivery to it of written notice by a Person
representing itself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a Representative thereof)
to establish that such notice has been given.

                  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying
Agent in writing of any facts it knows that would cause a payment of principal
of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes or any other Obligation in
respect of the Notes to violate this Article X, but failure to give such notice
shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to Senior Debt provided in this
Article X or the rights of holders of such Senior Debt under this Article X.

                  Section 10.06 Subrogation. After all Senior Debt has been paid
in full in cash or any other form acceptable to the holders of Senior Debt, and
until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated (equally and
ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of
holders of such Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to such Senior
Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been
applied to the payment of such Senior Debt. A distribution made under this
Article X to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to the
Holders is not, as between the Company and the Holders, a payment by the Company
on its Senior Debt.

                  Section 10.07 Relative Rights. This Article X defines the
relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Article X
or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any Note is intended to or shall: (1)
impair, as between the Company and the Holders, the Obligations of the Company
which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of,
and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with their terms; (2) affect the relative
rights of the Holders and creditors of the Company other than holders of Senior
Debt; or (3) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available
remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of
Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to the
Holders.

                  The failure to make a payment on account of principal of, or
interest on, the Notes by reason of any provision of this Article X shall not be
construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section
6.01.

                                      -58-
<PAGE>

                  Section 10.08 The Company and Holders May Not Impair
Subordination. (a) No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the
subordination as provided in this Article X shall at any time or in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or by any
noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Indenture or the Notes or any other agreement regardless of any knowledge
thereof with which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged.

                  (b)      Without in any way limiting Section 10.08(a), the
holders of any Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of or notice to any Holders, without incurring any liabilities to any
Holder and without impairing or releasing the subordination and other benefits
provided in this Indenture or the Holders' obligations hereunder to the holders
of such Senior Debt, even if any Holder's right of reimbursement or subrogation
or other right or remedy is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby, do any
one or more of the following: (i) amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify,
increase or supplement in any manner such Senior Debt or any instrument
evidencing or guaranteeing or securing such Senior Debt or any agreement under
which such Senior Debt is outstanding (including, but not limited to, changing
the manner, place or terms of payment or changing or extending the time of
payment of, or renewing, exchanging, amending, increasing or altering, (1) the
terms of such Senior Debt, (2) any security for, or any guarantee of, such
Senior Debt, (3) any liability of any obligor on such Senior Debt (including any
guarantor) or any liability issued in respect of such Senior Debt); (ii) sell,
exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in
any manner and in any order any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise
securing such Senior Debt or any liability of any obligor thereon, to such
holder, or any liability issued in respect thereof; (iii) settle or compromise
any such Senior Debt or any other liability of any obligor of such Senior Debt
to such holder or any security therefor or any liability issued in respect
thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any
liability (including, without limitation, payment of any Senior Debt) in any
manner or order; and (iv) fail to take or to record or otherwise perfect, for
any reason or for no reason, any lien or security interest securing such Senior
Debt by whomsoever granted, exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any
right or remedy against any obligor or any guarantor or any other Person, elect
any remedy and otherwise deal freely with any obligor and any security for such
Senior Debt or any liability of any obligor to the holders of such Senior Debt
or any liability issued in respect of such Senior Debt.

                  Section 10.09 Distribution or Notice to Representative.
Whenever a distribution is to be made, or a notice given, to holders of Senior
Debt pursuant to this Indenture, the distribution may be made and the notice
given to their Representative, if any. If any payment or distribution of the
Company's assets is required to be made to holders of Senior Debt pursuant to
this Article X, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any
order or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, or upon any certificate
of a Representative of such Senior Debt or a Custodian, in ascertaining the
holders of such Senior Debt entitled to participate in any such payment or
distribution, the amount to be paid or distributed to holders of such Senior
Debt and all other facts pertinent to such payment or distribution or to this
Article X.

                  Section 10.10 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. The Trustee
or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes unless prior to any
payment date it has received written notice of facts that would cause a payment
of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest

                                      -59-
<PAGE>

on, the Notes to violate this Article X. Only the Company, a Subsidiary
Guarantor, a Representative of Senior Debt, or a holder of Senior Debt that has
no Representative may give such notice.

                  To the extent permitted by the TIA, the Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may hold Indebtedness of the Company (including
Senior Debt) with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any
Agent may do the same with like rights.

                  Section 10.11 Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each
Holder of a Note by its acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on
its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate
the subordination as provided in this Article X, and appoints the Trustee as
such Holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes (including, without
limitation, the timely filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of the Note that
such Holder holds in the form required in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding and causing such claim to be approved).

                  If a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in
such proceeding is not filed by or on behalf of all Holders prior to 30 days
before the expiration of the time to file such claims or proofs, then the
holders or a Representative of any Senior Debt of the Company are hereby
authorized, and shall have the right (without any duty), to file an appropriate
claim for and on behalf of the Holders.

                  Section 10.12 Payment. A payment on account of or with respect
to any Note shall include, without limitation, any direct or indirect payment of
principal, premium or interest with respect to or in connection with any
optional redemption or purchase provisions, any direct or indirect payment
payable by reason of any other Indebtedness or Obligation being subordinated to
the Notes, and any direct or indirect payment or recovery on any claim as a
Holder relating to or arising out of this Indenture or any Note, or the issuance
of any Note, or the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or referred to
herein.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                             SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

                  Section 11.01 Subsidiary Guarantees. (a) Each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each
Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee that: (i) the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid
in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise,
and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, to
the extent lawful, and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders or
the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes will be promptly paid in full,
all in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes; and (ii) in
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such
other Obligations, that the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due in
accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal, whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. In the event that the Company fails to
pay any amount guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors for any reason
whatsoever, the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to
pay such amount immediately. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby

                                      -60-
<PAGE>

further agree that their Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be
unconditional, regardless of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this
Indenture or the Notes, the absence of any action to enforce this Indenture or
the Notes, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions of
this Indenture or the Notes, any modification or amendment of, or supplement to,
this Indenture or the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or
any action to enforce any such judgment, or any other circumstance that might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary
Guarantor. Each Subsidiary 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 its
Subsidiary Guarantee of the Company's Obligations under this Indenture and the
Notes will not be discharged except by complete performance by the Company or
another Guarantor of such Obligations. If any Holder or the Trustee is required
by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or
a Custodian of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor any amount paid by the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the
Subsidiary Guarantee of the Company's Obligations under this Indenture and the
Notes by each Subsidiary Guarantor shall, to the extent previously discharged as
a result of any such payment, be immediately reinstated and be in full force and
effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as
between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Company's Obligations under
this Indenture and the Notes may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for
purposes of the Subsidiary Guarantees notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
other prohibition preventing such acceleration, and (y) in the event of any
declaration of acceleration of the Company's Obligations under this Indenture
and the Notes as provided in Article VI, such Obligations (whether or not due
and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors
for the purpose of the Subsidiary Guarantees.

                  (b)      Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives all rights of
subrogation, contribution, reimbursement and indemnity, and all other rights,
that such Subsidiary Guarantor would have against the Company at any time as a
result of any payment in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee (whether
contractual, under section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise).

                  (c)      Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes or is required
to make any payment in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled to
seek contribution from the other Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent permitted
by applicable law; provided that each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that any such
claim for contribution that such Subsidiary Guarantor may have against any other
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the prior payment in full in cash of
all Obligations owed to Holders under or in respect of the Notes.

                  (d)      Upon the sale or disposition (whether by merger,
stock purchase, asset sale or otherwise) of a Subsidiary Guarantor (or
substantially all of its assets) to a Person which is not the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company or the sale of a majority of the capital stock of a
Paging Subsidiary or a Satellite Uplink Subsidiary to a Person which is not the
Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, in each case, which is otherwise in
compliance with this Indenture, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed
released from all its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; provided that
any such termination shall occur only to the extent that all obligations

                                      -61-
<PAGE>

of such Subsidiary Guarantor under all of its guarantees of, and under all of
its pledges of assets or other security interests which secure, other
Indebtedness of the Company shall also terminate upon such release, sale or
transfer.

                  (e)      Each Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or
merge into or sell its assets to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor
without limitation. A Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or
sell its assets to a corporation other than the Company or another Subsidiary
Guarantor (whether or not affiliated with such Subsidiary Guarantor, but subject
to the provisions described in Section 11.01(d)), provided that (a) if the
Surviving Person is not the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Surviving Person agrees to
assume such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee
and all its obligations under this Indenture and (b) such transaction does not
(i) violate any covenants set forth in this Indenture or (ii) result in a
Default or Event of Default under this Indenture immediately thereafter that is
continuing.

                  Section 11.02 Trustee to Include Paying Agents. In case at any
time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the
Company, the term "Trustee" as used in this Article XI shall (unless the context
shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying
Agent within its meaning as fully and for all intents and purposes as if such
Paying Agent were named in this Article XI in place of the Trustee.

                  Section 11.03 Limits on Subsidiary Guarantees. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirms that it is
the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by each Subsidiary
Guarantor pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and
each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantees shall be limited to the
maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed
liabilities of each Subsidiary Guarantor, result in the obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantees not constituting such
fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

                  Section 11.04 Execution of Subsidiary Guarantee. To evidence
its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Article XI, each Subsidiary Guarantor
hereby agrees to execute the Subsidiary Guarantee substantially in the form of
Exhibit C, which shall be endorsed on each Note ordered to be authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its
Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Article XI shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such
Subsidiary Guarantee. Each such Subsidiary Guarantee shall be signed on behalf
of each Subsidiary Guarantor by an Officer (who shall have been duly authorized
by all requisite corporate actions), and the delivery of such Note by the
Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due
delivery of such Subsidiary Guarantee on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor.
Such signatures upon the Subsidiary Guarantee may be by manual or facsimile
signature of such Officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the
Subsidiary Guarantee, and in case any such Officer who shall have signed the
Subsidiary Guarantee shall cease to be such Officer before the Note on which
such Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated

                                      -62-
<PAGE>

and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Note
nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the
person who signed the Subsidiary Guarantee had not ceased to be such Officer of
the Subsidiary Guarantor.

                  Section 11.05 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not
at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now
or at any time hereafter in force, that would prohibit or forgive each
Subsidiary Guarantor from performing its Subsidiary Guarantee as contemplated
herein or which might affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture
and Notes; and each such Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do
so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and
covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede
the execution of any power granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such
law has been enacted.

                  Section 11.06 Agreement To Subordinate Subsidiary Guarantees
to Guarantor Senior Debt. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by
accepting a Subsidiary Guarantee agrees, that all Obligations owed under and in
respect of such Subsidiary Guarantees are subordinated in right of payment, to
the extent and in the manner provided in this Article XI, to the prior payment
in full in cash or in any other form acceptable to holders of Guarantor Senior
Debt, of all Guarantor Senior Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and that the
subordination of the Subsidiary Guarantees pursuant to this Article XI is for
the benefit of all holders of all Guarantor Senior Debt of such Subsidiary
Guarantor, whether outstanding on the Issue Date or issued thereafter.

                  Section 11.07 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. (a) Upon
any payment or distribution of cash, securities or other property of any
Subsidiary Guarantor to creditors upon any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
with respect to such Subsidiary Guarantor or its property or securities, the
holders of any Guarantor Senior Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor will be
entitled to receive payment in full, in cash or any other form acceptable to the
holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, of all Obligations due in respect of such
Guarantor Senior Debt before the Holders will be entitled to receive any payment
or distribution with respect to Subsidiary Guarantees (other than Reorganization
Securities), and until all Obligations with respect to such Guarantor Senior
Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantee are paid in full, in cash or any other form
accept-able to the holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt, any payment or
distribution to which the Holders would be entitled shall be made to the holders
of such Subsidiary Guarantors' Guarantor Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders
on the basis of the amounts of Guarantor Senior Debt held by them). Upon any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor,
any payment or distribution of assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind
or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders or
the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Indenture shall
be paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor, any Custodian or other Person making such
payment or distribution, or by the Holders or by the Trustee if received by
them, directly to the holders of such Subsidiary Guarantors' Guarantor Senior
Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the amounts of Guarantor Senior
Debt held by them) or their Representatives, as their interests may appear, for
application to the payment of all outstanding Guarantor Senior Debt of such
Subsidiary Guarantor until all such Guarantor Senior Debt has been paid in full
in cash or any other form

                                      -63-
<PAGE>

acceptable to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt after giving effect to all
other payments or distributions to, or provisions made for, holders of such
Subsidiary Guarantors' Guarantor Senior Debt.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Indenture, any Disposition by or involving any Subsidiary Guarantor, or the
liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor following any
Disposition, shall not be deemed an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding for the
purposes of this Section 11.07 if such Disposition is permitted under Section
11.01(d) or Section 11.01(e).

                  Section 11.08 Default on Certain Guarantor Senior Debt. (a)
Upon the occurrence of any Payment Default by the Company with respect to any
Designated Senior Debt guaranteed by a Subsidiary Guarantor (which guarantee
constitutes Guarantor Senior Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor) and after the
receipt by the Trustee from a Representative of the holders of such Designated
Senior Debt of a Payment Blockage Notice, no payment or distribution of any
assets or securities of any Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind or character
(including, without limitation, cash, property and any payment or distribution
which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other
Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantors being subordinated to the payment of
the Notes) (other than Reorganization Securities) shall be made by such
Subsidiary Guarantor on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, or any other amount payable in connection with, the Notes or on
account of the purchase, redemption, defeasance (other than any payments made by
the Trustee pursuant to Article VIII) or other acquisition of or in respect of
the Notes or any of the Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this
Subsidiary Guarantee unless and until such Payment Default has been cured,
waived or has ceased to exist or such Guarantor Senior Debt shall have been
discharged or paid in full in cash or in any other manner acceptable to the
holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt.

                  (b)      Upon the occurrence or continuance of any Non-Payment
Default by the Company with respect to any Designated Senior Debt guaranteed by
a Subsidiary Guarantor (which guarantee constitutes Guarantor Senior Debt of
such Subsidiary Guarantor) and after the receipt by the Trustee from a
Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Debt of a Payment
Blockage Notice, no payment or distribution of any assets or securities of any
Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind or character (including, without limitation,
cash, property and any payment or distribution which may be payable or
deliverable by reason of the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Subsidiary
Guarantors being subordinated to the payment of the Notes) (other than
Reorganization Securities) may be made by such Subsidiary Guarantor on account
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or any other amount
payable in connection with, the Notes or on account of the purchase, redemption,
defeasance (other than any payments made by the Trustee pursuant to Article
VIII) or other acquisition of or in respect of the Notes or any of the
Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee for the
period specified below (the "Guarantor Payment Blockage Period").

                  (c)      The Guarantor Payment Blockage Period shall commence
upon the receipt by the Trustee of a Payment Blockage Notice with respect to the
Non-Payment Default from a Representative of the holders of any Designated
Senior Debt guaranteed by a Subsidiary Guarantor (which guarantee constitutes
Guarantor Senior Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor),

                                      -64-
<PAGE>

and shall end on the earliest of (x) the date on which such Non-Payment Default
is cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist or the Guarantor Senior Debt
related thereto shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash or any other
manner acceptable to holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt, (y) 179 days after
the date on which the Payment Blockage Notice with respect to such default was
received by the Trustee unless the maturity of the Designated Senior Debt
guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantor (which guarantee constitutes Guarantor
Senior Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor) has been accelerated and (z) the date
such Guarantor Payment Blockage Period is terminated by written notice to the
Trustee from a Representative of the holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt that
gave such Payment Blockage Notice, after which, in the case of clause (x), (y)
or (z), the Subsidiary Guarantor shall resume making any and all required
payments in respect of its obligations under this Subsidiary Guarantee,
including any missed payments. During any consecutive 365-day period, the
aggregate number of days for which a Guarantor Payment Blockage Period may exist
shall not exceed 179 days, only one Guarantor Payment Blockage Period may be
commenced and there shall be a period of at least 186 consecutive days during
which no Guarantor Payment Blockage Period shall be in effect. No Non-Payment
Default with respect to Guarantor Senior Debt that (i) gives rise to the
commencement of a Guarantor Payment Blockage Period or (ii) exists at the
commencement of or during any Guarantor Payment Blockage Period shall be made
the basis for the commencement of any subsequent Guarantor Payment Blockage
Period, whether or not within a period of 365 consecutive days, unless such
default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive
days following the commencement of the initial Guarantor Payment Blockage
Period.

                  Section 11.09 When Distributions Must Be Paid Over. If any
Subsidiary Guarantor shall make any payment to the Trustee on account of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, or any other
Obligations under this Subsidiary Guarantee, or the Holders shall receive from
any source any payment on account of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, the Notes or any Obligation in respect of the Notes, at a time when
such payment is prohibited by this Article XI, the Trustee or such Holders shall
hold such payment in trust for the benefit of, and shall pay over and deliver
to, the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt (pro rata as to each of such holders on
the basis of the respective amounts of such Guarantor Senior Debt held by them)
or their Representative or the trustee under the indenture or other agreement
(if any) pursuant to which such Guarantor Senior Debt may have been issued, as
their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all
outstanding Guarantor Senior Debt until all such Guarantor Senior Debt has been
paid in full in cash or any other form acceptable to the holders of Guarantor
Senior Debt after giving effect to all other payments or distributions to, or
provisions made for, the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt.

                  With respect to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, the
Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on its part as are
specifically set forth in this Article XI, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to any holders of Guarantor Senior Debt shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe
any fiduciary duty to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, and shall not be
liable to any holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt if the Trustee shall pay
over or distribute to, or on behalf of, Holders or the Subsidiary Guarantors or
any other Person money or assets to which any holders of such Guarantor Senior
Debt are entitled pursuant to this Article XI, except if such payment is made at

                                      -65-
<PAGE>

a time (a) after the Trustee has received a Payment Blockage Notice or (b) when
a Trust Officer has knowledge that the terms of this Article XI prohibit such
payment.

                  Section 11.10 Notice. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent
shall at any time be charged with the knowledge of the existence of any facts
that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee or Paying
Agent under this Article XI, unless and until the Trustee or Paying Agent shall
have received written notice thereof from the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor
or one or more holders of Guarantor Senior Debt or a Representative of any
holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt; and, prior to the receipt of any such
written notice, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall be entitled to assume
conclusively that no such facts exist. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on
the delivery to it of written notice by a Person representing itself to be a
holder of Guarantor Senior Debt (or a Representative thereof) to establish that
such notice has been given.

                  The Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall promptly notify
the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of any facts it knows that would
cause a payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes
or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations under this Subsidiary Guarantee
to violate this Article XI, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the
subordination of the Subsidiary Guarantees to Guarantor Senior Debt provided in
this Article XI or the rights of holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt under
this Article XI.

                  Section 11.11 Subrogation. After all Guarantor Senior Debt has
been paid in full in cash or any other form acceptable to holders of Guarantor
Senior Debt and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated
(equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Subsidiary
Guarantees) to the rights of holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt to receive
distributions applicable to such Guarantor Senior Debt to the extent that
distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment
of such Guarantor Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article XI to
holders of Guarantor Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders
is not, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors and Holders, a payment by such
Subsidiary Guarantor on its Guarantor Senior Debt.

                  Section 11.12 Relative Rights. This Article XI defines the
relative rights of Holders and holders of Guarantor Senior Debt. Nothing
contained in this Article XI or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any Subsidiary
Guarantee is intended to or shall: (1) impair, as between the Subsidiary
Guarantors and the Holders, the Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors, which
are absolute and unconditional, to pay all amounts due and payable under the
Subsidiary Guarantees as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms; (2) affect the relative rights of the Holders and
creditors of the Subsidiary Guarantors, other than holders of Guarantor Senior
Debt; or (3) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available
remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of the
holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments
otherwise payable to Holders.

                  The failure to make a payment on account of all amounts due
and payable under the Subsidiary Guarantees by reason of any provision of this
Article XI shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of
Default under Section 6.01.

                  Section 11.13 The Subsidiary Guarantors and Holders May Not
Impair Subordination. (a) No right of any holder of Guarantor Senior Debt to
enforce the subordination as provided in this Article XI shall at any time or in
any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act by any of the
Subsidiary Guarantors or by any noncompliance by any of the Subsidiary
Guarantors with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture or the
Subsidiary Guarantees or any other agreement regardless of any knowledge thereof
with which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged.

                  (b)      Without in any way limiting Section 11.13(a), the
holders of any Guarantor Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time,
without the consent of or notice to any Holders, without incurring any
liabilities to any Holder and without impairing or releasing the subordination
and other benefits provided in this Indenture or the Holders' obligations
hereunder to the holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt, even if any Holder's
right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy is affected,
impaired or extinguished thereby, do any one or more of the following: (i)
amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify, increase or supplement in any manner
such Guarantor Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing or guaranteeing or
securing such Guarantor Senior Debt or any agreement under which such Guarantor
Senior Debt is outstanding (including, but not limited to, changing the manner,
place or terms of payment or changing or extending the time of payment of, or
renewing, exchanging, amending, increasing or altering, (1) the terms of such
Guarantor Senior Debt, (2) any security for, or any guarantee of, such Guarantor
Senior Debt, (3) any liability of any obligor on such Guarantor Senior Debt
(including any guarantor) or any liability issued in respect of such Guarantor
Senior Debt); (ii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or
otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property pledged,
mortgaged or otherwise securing such Guarantor Senior Debt or any liability of
any obligor thereon, to such holder, or any liability issued in respect thereof;
(iii) settle or compromise any such Guarantor Senior Debt or any other liability
of any obligor of such Guarantor Senior Debt to such holder or any security
therefor or any liability issued in respect thereof and apply any sums by
whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability (including, without
limitation, payment of any Guarantor Senior Debt) in any manner or order; and
(iv) fail to take or to record or otherwise perfect, for any reason or for no
reason, any lien or security interest securing such Guarantor Senior Debt by
whomsoever granted, exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or
remedy against any obligor or any guarantor or any other Person, elect any
remedy and otherwise deal freely with any obligor and any security for such
Guarantor Senior Debt or any liability of any obligor to the holders of such
Guarantor Senior Debt or any liability issued in respect of such Guarantor
Senior Debt.

                  Section 11.14 Distribution or Notice to Representative.
Whenever a distribution is to be made, or a notice given, to holders of
Guarantor Senior Debt pursuant to this Indenture, the distribution may be made
and the notice given to their Representative, if any. If any payment or
distribution of any Subsidiary Guarantor's assets is required to be made to
holders of Guarantor Senior Debt pursuant to this Article XI, the Trustee and
the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of any court of
competent jurisdiction, or upon any certificate of a Representative of such
Guarantor Senior Debt or a Custodian, in ascertaining the holders of such
Guarantor Senior Debt entitled to participate in any such payment or
distribution, the amount to be paid or distributed to holders of such Guarantor
Senior Debt and all other facts pertinent to such payment or distribution or to
this Article XI.

<PAGE>

                  Section 11.15 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. The Trustee
or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes unless prior to any
payment date it has received written notice of facts that would cause a payment
of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes to violate this
Article XI. Only the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor, a Representative of Senior
Debt or Guarantor Senior Debt, or a holder of Senior Debt or Guarantor Senior
Debt that has no Representative may give such notice.

                  To the extent permitted by the TIA, the Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may hold Guarantor Senior Debt with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like
rights.

                  Section 11.16 Authorization To Effect Subordination. Each
Holder of a Subsidiary Guarantee by its acceptance thereof authorizes and
directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article XI, and
appoints the Trustee as such Holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes (including, without limitation, the timely filing of a claim for the
unpaid balance on a Subsidiary Guarantee that such Holder holds in the form
required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and causing such claim to
be approved).

                  If a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in
such proceeding is not filed by or on behalf of all Holders prior to 30 days
before the expiration of the time to file such claims or proofs, then the
holders or a Representative of any Guarantor Senior Debt are hereby authorized,
and shall have the right (without any duty), to file an appropriate claim for
and on behalf of the Holders.

                  Section 11.17 Payment. A payment on account of or with respect
to any Subsidiary Guarantee shall include, without limitation, any direct or
indirect payment of principal, premium or interest with respect to or in
connection with any optional redemption or purchase provisions, any direct or
indirect payment payable by reason of any other Indebtedness or Obligation being
subordinated to the Subsidiary Guarantees, and any direct or indirect payment or
recovery on any claim as a Holder relating to or arising out of this Indenture
or any Subsidiary Guarantee, or the issuance of any Subsidiary Guarantee, or the
transactions contemplated by this Indenture or referred to herein.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

of this Indenture limits, qualifies, or conflicts with the duties imposed by

                Provisions Relating to Initial Notes, Additional
                Notes, Private Exchange Notes and Exchange Notes

                  1.       Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Indenture of which this Appendix A is a part.

                  2.       The Securities.

                  2.1      Form and Dating.

                  The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof will be (i)
offered and sold by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (ii)
resold, initially only to (A) QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A, (B) Persons other
than U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S) in reliance on Regulation S and
(C) IAIs in reliance on Rule 501. Such Initial Notes may thereafter be
transferred to, among others, QIBs, purchasers in reliance on Regulation S and,
except as set forth below, IAIs in accordance with Rule 501.

                  (a)      Global Notes. Rule 144A Notes shall be issued
initially in the form of one or more permanent global Notes in definitive,
fully registered form (collectively, the "Rule 144A Global Note"), Regulation S
Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more global Notes
(collectively, the "Regulation S Global Note") and IAI Notes shall be issued
initially in the form of one or more permanent global Notes in definitive,
fully registered form (collectively, the "IAI Global Note"), in each case,
without interest coupons and bearing the Global Notes Legend and Restricted
Notes Legend, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes
represented thereby with the Notes Custodian, and registered in the name of the
Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and
authenticated by the Trustee as provided in this Indenture. Beneficial
ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall not be exchangeable
for interests in the Rule 144A Global Note, the IAI Global Note or any other
Note without a Restricted Notes Legend until the expiration of the Restricted
Period. The Rule 144A Global Note, the IAI Global Note and the Regulation S
Global Note are each referred to herein as a "Global Note" and are collectively
referred to herein as "Global Notes." The aggregate principal amount of the
Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments
made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee as
hereinafter provided.

                  (b)      Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(b) shall
apply only to a Global Note deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. The
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section
2.1(b) and pursuant to an order of the Company, authenticate and deliver
initially one or more Global Notes that (a) shall be registered in the name of
the Depositary for such Global Note or Global Notes or the nominee of such
Depositary and (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or
pursuant to such Depositary's instructions or held by the Trustee as Notes
Custodian.

<PAGE>

                  Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent
Members") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global
Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as Notes
Custodian or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the
absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any
agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or
impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of
customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of
a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

                  (c)      Definitive Notes. Except as provided in Section 2.3
or 2.4, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to
receive physical delivery of certificated Notes.

                  2.2      Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and
make available for delivery upon a written order of the Company signed by two
Officers (1) the (A) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an
aggregate principal amount of $180,000,000 and (B) Additional Notes for
original issue on a date subsequent to the Issue Date in an aggregate principal
amount not exceeding $100,000,000 and (2) the (A) Exchange Notes for issue only
in a Registered Exchange Offer and (B) Private Exchange Notes for issue only in
a Private Exchange, in the case of each of (2)(A) and (B), pursuant to a
Registration Rights Agreement and for a like principal amount of Initial Notes
or Additional Notes, as the case may be, exchanged pursuant thereto. Such order
shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which
the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to
be Initial Notes, Additional Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes.
The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed
$280,000,000 except as provided in Section 2.07 of this Indenture.

                  2.3      Transfer and Exchange. (a) Transfer and Exchange of
Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are presented to the Registrar with a
request:

                  (x)      to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or

                  (y)      to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal
         principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized
         denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the
         exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such
         transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes
         surrendered for transfer or exchange:

                  (i)      shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
         instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company
         and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney
         duly authorized in writing; and

                  (ii)     are accompanied by the following additional
         information and documents, as applicable:

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

                           (A)      if such Definitive Notes are being
                  delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in
                  the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification
                  from such Holder to that effect (in the form set forth on the
                  reverse side of the Initial Note); or

                           (B)      if such Definitive Notes are being
                  transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect
                  (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial
                  Note); or

                           (C)      if such Definitive Notes are being
                  transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration in
                  accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or in
                  reliance upon another exemption from the registration
                  requirements of the Securities Act, (i) a certification to
                  that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the
                  Initial Note) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion
                  of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as
                  to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the
                  legend set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i).

                  (b)      Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a
Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Note may not be exchanged
for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the
requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note,
duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, together with:

                  (i)      certification (in the form set forth on the reverse
         side of the Initial Note) that such Definitive Note is being
         transferred (A) to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, (B) to an IAI
         that has furnished to the Trustee a signed letter substantially in the
         form of Exhibit E or (C) outside the United States in an offshore
         transaction within the meaning of Regulation S and in compliance with
         Rule 904 under the Securities Act; and

                  (ii)     written instructions directing the Trustee to make,
         or to direct the Notes Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books
         and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in
         the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global
         Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the
         Depositary account to be credited with such increase,

then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the
Notes Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and
procedures existing between the Depositary and the Notes Custodian, the
aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be
increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be
exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person
specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal
to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If no Global Notes
are then outstanding and the Global Note has not been previously exchanged for
certificated securities pursuant to Section 2.4, the Company shall issue and
the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form
of an Officers' Certificate, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal
amount.

                  (c)      Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. (i) The
transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be
effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture (including
applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the
procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in
a Global Note shall deliver a written order given in accordance with the
Depositary's procedures containing information regarding the participant
account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such
Global Note or another Global Note and such account shall be credited in
accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global
Note and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an
amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.
Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or
the IAI Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through
the Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the
Restricted Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a
certification from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being
made in accordance with Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under the
Securities Act and that, if such transfer is being made prior to the expiration
of the Restricted Period, the interest transferred shall be held immediately
thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream. In the case of a transfer of a
beneficial interest in either the Regulation S Global Note or the Rule 144A
Global Note for an interest in the IAI Global Note, the transferee must furnish
a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Trustee.

                  (ii)     If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a
         beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in
         another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and
         records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global
         Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to
         the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the
         Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a
         corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from
         which such interest is being transferred.

                  (iii)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
         Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a
         Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary
         to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to
         the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the
         Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee
         of such successor Depositary.

                  (iv)     In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for
         Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 2.4 prior to the consummation of
         the Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the Shelf
         Registration Statement with respect to such Notes, such Notes may be
         exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially
         consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the
         certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial
         Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A,
         Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration
         under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other
         procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

                  (d)      Restrictions on Transfer of Regulation S Global
Note. (i) Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in the
Regulation S Global Note may only be held

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

through Euroclear or Clearstream. During the Restricted Period, beneficial
ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged
or transferred through Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures and only (A) to the Company, (B) so long as such security
is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom the selling
holder reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own account or for
the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or
transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (C) in an offshore transaction
in accordance with Regulation S, (D) pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if applicable) under the
Securities Act, (E) to an IAI purchasing for its own account, or for the
account of such an IAI, in a minimum principal amount of Securities of $500,000
or (F) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act, in each case, in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any
state of the United States. Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period,

                     [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL NOTE]
                    9.25% Senior Subordinated Note due 2011

         1.       Interest

                  (a)      Gray Communications Systems, Inc., a Georgia
corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the
Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the "Company"), promises
to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum
shown above. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on June 15 and
December 15 of each year (or if any such day is not a Business Day on the next
succeeding Business Day) commencing on June 15, 2002. Interest on the Notes
shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if
no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from December 21, 2001, until
the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay cash interest on
overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes plus 1% per annum, and it
shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the
extent lawful.

                  (b)      Liquidated Damages. The holder of this Note is
entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of
December 21, 2001, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein
and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the "Registration Rights Agreement").
Capitalized terms used in this paragraph (b) but not defined herein have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement. If (i) the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, as
applicable under the Registration Rights Agreement, is not filed with the
Commission on or prior to the date specified therein for such filing, (ii) the
applicable Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to the date specified therein for such effectiveness
after such obligation arises, (iii) if the Registered Exchange Offer is
required to be Consummated thereunder, the Registered Exchange Offer has not
been Consummated by the Issuers within the time period set forth in Section
2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement and (iv) prior to the end of the
Exchange Offer Registration Period or the Shelf Registration Period, as the
case may be, the Commission shall have issued a stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, proceedings have been
initiated with respect to such Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or
8(e) of the Act, or such Registration Statement or related Prospectus for any
reason ceases to be usable or available in connection with resales of Notes
registered thereunder (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv),
a "Registration Default"), then damages ("Liquidated Damages") will accrue on
the Notes with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the
occurrence of such Registration Default in an amount equal to $0.05 per week
per $1,000 principal amount of Notes and will increase by an additional $0.05
per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each subsequent 90-day period
until such Registration Default has been cured, up to an aggregate maximum
amount of Liquidated Damages of $0.20 per week per $1,000 principal amount of
Notes for all Registration Defaults. Following the cure of a Registration
Default, the accrual of Liquidated Damages with respect to such Registration
Default will cease and upon the cure of all Registration Defaults the accrual
of all Liquidated Damages will cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Registered Exchange Offer has been Consummated, Liquidated Damages related to a
Registration Default for a Shelf Registration Statement shall not be payable in
respect of Notes issued in the

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

Registered Exchange Offer except to the extent entitled to registration under
such Shelf Registration Statement under clause (iv) above.

         2.       Method of Payment

                  The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted
interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on
the June 1 or December 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Notes
are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date.
Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.
The Company shall pay principal, premium, liquidated damages and interest in
money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the
Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, liquidated
damages and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company. The Company
will make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal,
premium and interest), by mailing a check to the registered address of each
Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made,
in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a
bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by
giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect
designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the
relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in
its discretion).

         3.       Paying Agent and Registrar

                  The Company initially appoints Bankers Trust Company, a
national association under the laws of the United States (the "Trustee"), as
Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in
connection with the Notes. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain a
Registrar and/or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

         4.       Indenture

                  The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of
December 15, 2001, (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the subsidiaries of
the Company, as guarantors (the "Subsidiary 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 (15 U.S.C. (S)(S)
77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the "TIA").
Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings assigned
thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of
the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a
statement of such terms and provisions.

                  The Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of
the Company limited to $280,000,000 aggregate principal amount at any one time
outstanding (subject to Section 2.07 of the Indenture). This Note is one of the
Initial Notes or Additional Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes
include the Initial Notes, Additional Notes and any Exchange Notes and Private
Exchange Notes issued in exchange for Initial Notes or Additional Notes. The
Initial Notes, Additional Notes, Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Notes are
treated as a single

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

class of notes under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations
on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, make
certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other
distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the
payment of certain dividends and distributions by Subsidiaries, enter into or
permit certain transactions with Affiliates and Asset Sales. The Indenture also
imposes limitations on the ability of the Company to consolidate or merge with
or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all
of the property of the Company.

                  To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal
and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under
the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable,
whether, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and
the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally, unconditionally
guarantee the Obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes on a
senior subordinated basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

         5.       Optional Redemption

                  Except as described below in this Section 5, the Notes are
not redeemable at the Company's option prior to December 15, 2006. On and after
such date, the Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of the principal amount of the Notes) set forth below, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption, if redeemed during the
twelve-month period beginning on December 15, of the years indicated below.

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                         YEAR                                  PERCENTAGE
                         ----                                  ----------

<S>                                                            <C>
2006...................................................        104.625%
2007...................................................        103.083%
2008...................................................        101.542%
2009 and thereafter....................................        100.000%
</TABLE>

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to December
15, 2004, the Company may, at its option, use the net proceeds of one or more
Public Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount
of the Notes originally issued at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of the
principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date
fixed for redemption; provided, however, that at least $117.0 million in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding immediately after
any such redemption.

                  At any time prior to December 15, 2006, the Notes may be
redeemed as a whole but not in part at the option of the Company, upon not less
than 30 or more than 60 days' prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each
holder's registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus the Make Whole Premium as of, and accrued but
unpaid interest, if any, to, the redemption date, subject to the right of
holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date.

                  "Make Whole Premium" means with respect to a Note at any
redemption date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Note
or (ii) the excess of (A) the present value

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

of (1) the redemption price of such Note at December 15, 2006 (such redemption
price being set forth in the table above) plus (2) all required interest
payments due on such Note through December 15, 2006, computed using a discount
rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the
then-outstanding principal amount of such Note.

                  "Treasury Rate" means the yield to maturity at the time of
computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as
compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release
H. 15(519) which has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior
to the redemption date or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published,
any publicly available source or similar market data) most nearly equal to the
period from the redemption date to December 15, 2006; provided, however, that
if the period from the redemption date to December 15, 2006 is not equal to the
constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly
average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear
interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly
average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are
given, except that if the period from the redemption date to December 15, 2006
is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United
States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be
used.

         6.       Sinking Fund

                  The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.

         7.       Notice of Redemption

                  Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each
Holder of Notes that are to be redeemed at his or her registered address. Notes
in denominations larger than $1,000 of principal amount may be redeemed in part
but only in whole multiples of $1,000 of principal amount. If money sufficient
to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated
damages, if any, on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the
redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption
date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date
interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for
redemption.

         8.       Repurchase of Notes at the Option of Holders upon Change of
Control

                  Upon a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right,
subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to require the
Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder's Notes at a purchase
price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount on the Change of Control
Purchase Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Change of
Control Purchase Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

<PAGE>

         9.       Subordination

                  The Notes are subordinated to Senior Debt. To the extent
provided in the Indenture, Senior Debt must be paid before the Notes may be
paid. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by
accepting a Note agrees, to the subordination provisions contained in the
Indenture and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect and appoints the Trustee
as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

         10.      Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

                  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or
exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange,
the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register
the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the
case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be
redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days prior to
a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

         11.      Persons Deemed Owners

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

         12.      Unclaimed Money

                  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back
to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law
designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the
money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

         13.      Discharge and Defeasance

                  Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may
terminate some of or all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if
the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for
the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity,
as the case may be.

         14.      Amendment, Waiver

                  Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i)
the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer or exchange offer for the Notes) and (ii) any existing Default or Event
of Default or noncompliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes
may be waived with the consent of Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with
a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Subject to certain exceptions
set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the
Indenture or the Notes (i) cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (ii)
provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated
Notes; (iii) provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to the
Holders in the event of any Disposition involving the Company that is permitted
under Article V of the Indenture in which the Company is not the Surviving
Person; (iv) make any change that would provide any additional rights or
benefits to Holders or does not adversely affect the interests of any Holder;
(v) comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (vi) add additional
Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Section 4.17 of the Indenture; (vii) provide
for the issuance of Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, subject to the
provisions of the Indenture; or (viii) provide for the issuance of Additional
Notes as permitted by Section 2.16 of the Indenture.

         15.      Defaults and Remedies

                  If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified under Section 6.01(a)(ix) or (x) of the Indenture with respect to the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare all the
Notes to be due and payable immediately. In the case of any Event of Default
arising from the events specified in Section 6.01(a)(ix) or (x) of the
Indenture with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor occurs, the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all
outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without
further action or Notice. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such
acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the
Indenture at the request of any Holders unless such Holders shall have offered
to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of
principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any
remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (1) the Holder gives
to the Trustee notice of a continuing Event of Default; (2) the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a request to
the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the
Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or
expense; (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after
receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and (5) during such 60-day
period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the
request. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it by the Indenture.
However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law
or the Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the
rights of other Holders, or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

                                     -10-

         16.      Trustee Dealings with the Company

                  Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However,
if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such
conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as
Trustee, or resign.

         17.      No Recourse Against Others

                  No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder,
of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any liability for any
obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, the
Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees. Each Holder, by accepting a Note (including
Subsidiary Guarantees), waives and releases such Persons from all such
liability and such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the
issuance of the Notes.

         18.      Authentication

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

         19.      Abbreviations

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

         20.      GOVERNING LAW

                  THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS
OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

         21.      CUSIP Numbers

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

without limitation, the obligations of the Holders with respect to a
registration and the indemnification of the Company to the extent provided

                    9.25% Senior Subordinated Note Due 2011

         1.       Interest

                  Gray Communications Systems, Inc., a Georgia corporation
(such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to, being herein called the "Company"), promises to pay
interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown
above. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on June 15 or December 15 of
each year (or if such day is not a Business Day on the next succeeding Business
Day). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for,
from December 21, 2001 until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company
shall pay cash interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes
plus 1% per annum, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of
interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

         2.       Method of Payment

                  The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted
interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on
the June 1 or December 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Notes
are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date.
Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.
The Company shall pay principal, premium and interest in money of the United
States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a
Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The
Depository Trust Company. The Company will make all payments in respect of a
certificated Note (including principal, premium and interest), by mailing a
check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that
payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least
$1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S.
dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such
Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee
or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30
days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other
date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

         3.       Paying Agent and Registrar

                  The Company initially appoints Bankers Trust Company, a
national association under the laws of the United States (the "Trustee"), as
Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in
connection with the Notes. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain a
Registrar and/or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

         4.       Indenture

                  The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
December 15, 2001 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the subsidiaries of the
Company, as guarantors (the "Subsidiary 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 (15 U.S.C. (S)(S)
77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the "TIA").
Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings assigned
thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of
the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a
statement of such terms and provisions.

                  The Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of
the Company limited to $280,000,000 aggregate principal amount at any one time
outstanding (subject to Section 2.07 of the Indenture). This Note is one of the
Initial Notes or Additional Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes
include the Initial Notes, Additional Notes and any Exchange Notes and Private
Exchange Notes issued in exchange for Initial Notes or Additional Notes. The
Initial Notes, Additional Notes, Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Notes are
treated as a single class of notes under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes
certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to,
among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay
dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual
restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by
Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates and
Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the
Company to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey,
transfer or lease all or substantially all of the property of the Company.

                  To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal
and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under
the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable,
whether, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and
the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally, unconditionally
guarantee the Obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes on a
senior subordinated basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

         5.       Optional Redemption

                  Except as described below in this Section 5, the Notes are
not redeemable at the Company's option prior to December 15, 2006. On and after
such date, the Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of the principal amount of the Notes) set forth below, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption, if redeemed during the
twelve-month period beginning on December 15, of the years indicated below.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to December
15, 2004, the Company may, at its option, use the net proceeds of one or more
Public Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount
of the Notes originally issued at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of the
principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date
fixed for redemption; provided, however, that at least $117.0 million in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding immediately after
any such redemption.

                  At any time prior to December 15, 2006, the Notes may be
redeemed as a whole but not in part at the option of the Company, upon not less
than 30 or more than 60 days' prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each
holder's registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus the Make Whole Premium as of, and accrued but
unpaid interest, if any, to, the redemption date, subject to the right of
holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant
interest payment date.

                  "Make Whole Premium" means with respect to a Note at any
redemption date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Note
or (ii) the excess of (A) the present value of (1) the redemption price of such
Note at December 15, 2006 (such redemption price being set forth in the table
above) plus (2) all required interest payments due on such Note through
December 15, 2006, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate
plus 50 basis points, over (B) the then-outstanding principal amount of such
Note.

                  "Treasury Rate" means the yield to maturity at the time of
computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as
compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release
H. 15(519) which has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior
to the redemption date or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published,
any publicly available source or similar market data) most nearly equal to the
period from the redemption date to December 15, 2006; provided, however, that
if the period from the redemption date to December 15, 2006 is not equal to the
constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly
average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear
interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly
average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are
given, except that if the period from the redemption date to December 15, 2006
is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United
States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be
used.

         6.       Sinking Fund

                  The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.

         7.       Notice of Redemption

                  Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each
Holder of Notes that are to be redeemed at his or her registered address. Notes
in denominations larger than $1,000 of principal amount may be redeemed in part
but only in whole multiples of $1,000 of principal amount. If money sufficient
to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated
damages,

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

if any, on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption
date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and
certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases
to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

         8.       Repurchase of Notes at the Option of Holders upon Change of
Control

                  Upon a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the
right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to require the
Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder's Notes at a purchase
price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount on the Change of Control
Purchase Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Change of
Control Purchase Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

         9.       Subordination

                  The Notes are subordinated to Senior Debt. To the extent
provided in the Indenture, Senior Debt must be paid before the Notes may be
paid. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by
accepting a Note agrees, to the subordination provisions contained in the
Indenture and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect and appoints the Trustee
as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

         10.      Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

                  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or
exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange,
the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register
the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the
case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be
redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days prior to
a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

         11.      Persons Deemed Owners

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

         12.      Unclaimed Money

                  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back
to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law
designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the
money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

         13.      Discharge and Defeasance

                  Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may
terminate some of or all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if
the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for
the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity,
as the case may be.

         14.      Amendment, Waiver

                  Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i)
the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer or exchange offer for the Notes) and (ii) any existing Default or Event
of Default or noncompliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes
may be waived with the consent of Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with
a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Subject to certain exceptions
set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to:
(i) cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (ii) provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; (iii)
provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to the Holders in the
event of any Disposition involving the Company that is permitted under Article
V of the Indenture in which the Company is not the Surviving Person; (iv) make
any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to Holders or
does not adversely affect the interests of any Holder; (v) comply with the
requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification
of the Indenture under the TIA; (vi) add additional Subsidiary Guarantors
pursuant to Section 4.17 of the Indenture; (vii) provide for the issuance of
Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, subject to the provisions of the
Indenture; or (viii) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes as permitted
by Section 2.16 of the Indenture.

         15.      Defaults and Remedies

                  If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified under Section 6.01(a)(ix) or (x) of the Indenture with respect to the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare all the
Notes to be due and payable immediately. In the case of any Event of Default
arising from the events specified in Section 6.01(a)(ix) or (x) of the
Indenture with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor occurs, the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all
outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without
further action or Notice. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such
acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the
Indenture at the request of any Holders unless such Holders shall have offered
to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of

                                      -7-

principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any
remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (1) the Holder gives
to the Trustee notice of a continuing Event of Default; (2) the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a request to
the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the
Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or
expense; (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after
receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and (5) during such 60-day
period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the
request. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it by the Indenture.
However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law
or the Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the
rights of other Holders, or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

         16.      Trustee Dealings with the Company

                  Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However,
if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such
conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as
Trustee, or resign.

         17.      No Recourse Against Others

                  No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder,
of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any liability for any
obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, the
Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees. Each Holder, by accepting a Note (including
Subsidiary Guarantees), waives and releases such Persons from all such
liability and such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the
issuance of the Notes.

         18.      Authentication

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

         19.      Abbreviations

                  Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder
or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the
entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as

WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT

GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

         21.      CUSIP Numbers

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

                  The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request
and without charge to the Holder a copy of the Indenture which has in it the
text of this Note.

Gray Communications Systems, Inc.

In care of
Bankers Trust Company
Four Albany Street, 4th Floor
New York, NY  10006
Attention:  Corporate Trust and Agency Services

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $?
principal amount of the 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "Notes")
of Gray Communications Systems, Inc. ("Gray").

                  Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of
the new beneficial owner as follows:

                  Name:
                       --------------------------------------
                  Address:
                          -----------------------------------
                  Taxpayer ID Number:
                                     ------------------------

                  The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

                  1.       We are an institutional "accredited investor" (as
defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Notes Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Notes Act")), purchasing for our own account or for the account
of such an institutional "accredited investor" at least $500,000 principal
amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for
offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the
Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment
in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in
the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are
acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

                  2.       We understand that the Notes have not been
registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold
except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and
on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing the Notes to
offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is two
years after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which
Gray or any affiliate of Gray was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor
thereto) (the "Resale Restriction Termination Date") only (a) to Gray, (b)
pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the
Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements

<PAGE>

of Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A"), to a person we reasonably
believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a "QIB") that is
purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice
is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) in an
offshore transaction within the meaning of, and in compliance with, Regulation
S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional "accredited investor"
within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act
that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an
institutional "accredited investor", in each case in a minimum principal amount
of Notes of $500,000, or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the
foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property
or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our
or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws.
The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale
Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is

institutional "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2),
(3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for
investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities
Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that Gray and the Trustee reserve the right
prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction
Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to
require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other
information satisfactory to Gray and the Trustee.

                              CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                                 1995 STOCK PLAN

         1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Citrix Systems, Inc. Amended and
Restated 1995 Stock Plan (the "Plan") is to encourage key employees of Citrix
Systems, Inc. (the "Company") and of any present or future parent or subsidiary
of the Company (collectively, "Related Corporations") and other individuals who
render services to the Company or a Related Corporation, by providing
opportunities to participate in the ownership of the Company and its future
growth through (a) the grant of options which qualify as "incentive stock
options" ("ISOs") under Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"); (b) the grant of options which do not qualify as ISOs
("Non-Qualified Options"); (c) awards of stock in the Company ("Awards"); and
(d) opportunities to make direct purchases of stock in the Company
("Purchases"). Both ISOs and Non-Qualified Options are referred to hereafter
individually as an "Option" and collectively as "Options." Options, Awards and
authorizations to make Purchases are referred to hereafter collectively as
"Stock Rights." As used herein, the terms "parent" and "subsidiary" mean "parent
corporation" and "subsidiary corporation," respectively, as those terms are
defined in Section 424 of the Code.

         2. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

                  A. BOARD OR COMMITTEE ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be
         administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") or
         by a committee appointed by the Board (the "Committee"); provided that
         the Plan shall be administered: (i) to the extent required by
         applicable regulations under Section 162(m) of the Code, by two or more
         "outside directors" (as defined in applicable regulations thereunder)
         and (ii) to the extent required by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any successor provision ("Rule
         16b-3"), by a disinterested administrator or administrators within the
         meaning of Rule 16b-3. Hereinafter, all references in this Plan to the
         "Committee" shall mean the Board if no Committee has been appointed.
         Subject to ratification of the grant or authorization of each Stock
         Right by the Board (if so required by applicable state law), and
         subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall have the
         authority to (i) determine to whom (from among the class of employees
         eligible under paragraph 3 to receive ISOs) ISOs shall be granted, and
         to whom (from among the class of individuals and entities eligible
         under paragraph 3 to receive Non-Qualified Options and Awards and to
         make Purchases) Non-Qualified Options, Awards and authorizations to
         make Purchases may be granted; (ii) determine the time or times at
         which Options or Awards shall be granted or Purchases made; (iii)
         determine the purchase price of shares subject to each Option or
         Purchase, which prices shall not be less than the minimum price
         specified in paragraph 6; (iv) determine whether each Option granted
         shall be an ISO or a Non-Qualified Option; (v) determine (subject to
         paragraph 7) the time or times when each Option shall become
         exercisable and the duration of the exercise period; (vi) extend

<PAGE>
                                     - 2 -

         the period during which outstanding Options may be exercised; (vii)
         determine whether restrictions such as repurchase options are to be
         imposed on shares subject to Options, Awards and Purchases and the
         nature of such restrictions, if any, and (viii) interpret the Plan and
         prescribe and rescind rules and regulations relating to it. If the
         Committee determines to issue a Non-Qualified Option, it shall take
         whatever actions it deems necessary, under Section 422 of the Code and
         the regulations promulgated thereunder, to ensure that such Option is
         not treated as an ISO. The interpretation and construction by the
         Committee of any provisions of the Plan or of any Stock Right granted
         under it shall be final unless otherwise determined by the Board. The
         Committee may from time to time adopt such rules and regulations for
         carrying out the Plan as it may deem advisable. No member of the Board
         or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made
         in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Stock Right granted under
         it.

                  B. COMMITTEE ACTIONS. The Committee may select one of its
         members as its chairman, and shall hold meetings at such time and
         places as it may determine. A majority of the Committee shall
         constitute a quorum and acts of a majority of the members of the
         Committee at a meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts reduced to
         or approved in writing by all the members of the Committee (if
         consistent with applicable state law), shall be the valid acts of the
         Committee. From time to time the Board may increase the size of the
         Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with
         or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor,
         fill vacancies however caused, or remove all members of the Committee
         and thereafter directly administer the Plan.

                  C. GRANT OF STOCK RIGHTS TO BOARD MEMBERS. Subject to the
         provisions of the first sentence of paragraph 2(A) above, if
         applicable, Stock Rights may be granted to members of the Board. All
         grants of Stock Rights to members of the Board shall in all other
         respects be made in accordance with the provisions of this Plan
         applicable to other eligible persons. Consistent with the provisions of
         the first sentence of Paragraph 2(A) above, members of the Board who
         either (i) are eligible to receive grants of Stock Rights pursuant to
         the Plan or (ii) have been granted Stock Rights may vote on any matters
         affecting the administration of the Plan or the grant of any Stock
         Rights pursuant to the Plan, except that no such member shall act upon
         the granting to himself or herself of Stock Rights, but any such member
         may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting
         of the Board during which action is taken with respect to the granting
         to such member of Stock Rights.

         3. ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES AND OTHERS. ISOs may be granted only to employees
of the Company or any Related Corporation. Non-Qualified Options, Awards and
authorizations to make Purchases may be granted to any employee, officer or
director (whether or not also an employee) or consultant of the Company or any
Related Corporation. The Committee may take into consideration a recipient's
individual circumstances in determining whether to grant a Stock Right. The
granting of any Stock Right to any individual or entity shall neither entitle
that individual or entity to, nor disqualify such individual or entity from,
participation in any other grant of Stock Rights.

<PAGE>
                                     - 3 -

         4. STOCK. The stock subject to Stock Rights shall be authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the
"Common Stock"), or shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company in any
manner. Subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 13, the aggregate number
of shares which may be issued pursuant to the Plan is 69,945,623 (as adjusted
for stock splits which occurred prior to the amendment and restatement of this
Plan) plus, effective as of January 1, 2001 and each year thereafter, a number
of shares of Common Stock equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on
December 31 of the preceding year. If any Stock Right granted under the Plan
shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full
or shall cease for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part or shall be
repurchased by the Company, the shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock
Right shall again be available for grants of Stock Rights under the Plan.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph 4, no more than an
aggregate of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for stock splits
which occurred prior to the amendment and restatement of this Plan) may be
issued pursuant to the exercise of ISOs granted under the Plan (including shares
issued pursuant to the exercise of ISOs granted under the Plan that are the
subject of disqualifying dispositions within the meaning of Sections 421, 422
and 424 of the Code and the regulations thereunder).

         No employee of the Company or any Related Corporation may be granted
Options to acquire, in the aggregate, more than 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock
(as adjusted for stock splits which occurred prior to the amendment and
restatement of this Plan) under the Plan during any fiscal year of the Company.
If any Option granted under the Plan shall expire or terminate for any reason
without having been exercised in full or shall cease for any reason to be
exercisable in whole or in part or shall be repurchased by the Company, the
shares subject to such Option shall be included in the determination of the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock deemed to have been granted to such
employee under the Plan.

         5. GRANTING OF STOCK RIGHTS. Stock Rights may be granted under the Plan
at any time on or after September 28, 1995 and prior to September 29, 2005. The
date of grant of a Stock Right under the Plan will be the date specified by the
Committee at the time it grants the Stock Right; provided, however, that such
date shall not be prior to the date on which the Committee acts to approve the
grant. Options granted under the Plan are intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation to the extent required under Proposed Treasury
Regulation Section 1.162-27.

         6. MINIMUM OPTION PRICE; ISO LIMITATIONS; OTHER LIMITATIONS.

                  A. PRICE FOR NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS, AWARDS AND PURCHASES. The
         exercise price per share specified in the agreement relating to each
         Non-Qualified Option granted shall not be less than the fair market
         value per share of Common Stock on the date of such grant, PROVIDED
         HOWEVER, that if option is expressly granted in lieu of a reasonable
         amount of salary or cash bonus, the exercise price per share specified
         in the agreement relating to each such Non-Qualified Option may be
         equal to or greater than 85% of the

<PAGE>
                                     - 4 -

         fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of such grant.
         The purchase price per share of stock granted in any Award or
         authorized as a Purchase, under the Plan shall in no event be less than
         the minimum legal consideration required therefor under the laws of any
         jurisdiction in which the Company or its successors in interest may be
         organized.

                  B. PRICE FOR ISOS. The exercise price per share specified in
         the agreement relating to each ISO granted under the Plan shall not be
         less than the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date
         of such grant. In the case of an ISO to be granted to an employee
         owning stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total
         combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any
         Related Corporation, the price per share specified in the agreement
         relating to such ISO shall not be less than one hundred ten percent
         (110%) of the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date
         of grant. For purposes of determining stock ownership under this
         paragraph, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply.

                  C. $100,000 ANNUAL LIMITATION ON ISO VESTING. Each eligible
         employee may be granted Options treated as ISOs only to the extent
         that, in the aggregate under this Plan and all incentive stock option
         plans of the Company and any Related Corporation, ISOs do not become
         exercisable for the first time by such employee during any calendar
         year with respect to stock having a fair market value (determined at
         the time the ISOs were granted) in excess of $100,000. The Company
         intends to designate any Options granted in excess of such limitation
         as Non-Qualified Options.

                  D. DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE. If, at the time an
         Option is granted under the Plan, the Company's Common Stock is
         publicly traded, "fair market value" shall be determined as of the date
         of grant or, if the prices or quotes discussed in this sentence are
         unavailable for such date, the last business day for which such prices
         or quotes are available prior to the date of grant and shall mean (i)
         the average (on that date) of the high and low prices of the Common
         Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common
         Stock is traded, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national
         securities exchange; or (ii) the last reported sale price (on that
         date) of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, if the Common
         Stock is not then traded on a national securities exchange; or (iii)
         the closing bid price (or average of bid prices) last quoted (on that
         date) by an established quotation service for over-the-counter
         securities, if the Common Stock is not reported on the Nasdaq Stock
         Market. If the Common Stock is not publicly traded at the time an
         Option is granted under the Plan, "fair market value" shall mean the
         fair value of the Common Stock as determined by the Committee after
         taking into consideration all factors which it deems appropriate,
         including, without limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the
         Common Stock in private transactions negotiated at arm's length.

                  E. RESTRICTED STOCK LIMITATIONS. Awards of restricted stock
         shall be subject to a vesting schedule of a minimum of three years,
         PROVIDED HOWEVER, that an Award of

<PAGE>
                                     - 5 -

         restricted stock subject to a performance based vesting schedule may be
         subject to a vesting schedule of a minimum of one year.

                  F. PROHIBITION ON REPRICING AND REGRANTS. No Option shall be
         repriced, or terminated and subsequently regranted, at a lower purchase
         price per share than the original grant, without the prior affirmative
         vote of a majority of the shares of stock of the Company present at a
         stockholders' meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote
         thereon.

         7. OPTION DURATION. Subject to earlier termination as provided in
paragraphs 9 and 10 or in the agreement relating to such Option, each Option
shall expire on the date specified by the Committee, but not more than (i) ten
years from the date of grant in the case of Options generally and (ii) five
years from the date of grant in the case of ISOs granted to an employee owning
stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company or any Related Corporation, as determined
under paragraph 6(B). Subject to earlier termination as provided in paragraphs 9
and 10, the term of each ISO shall be the term set forth in the original
instrument granting such ISO, except with respect to any part of such ISO that
is converted into a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to paragraph 16.

         8. EXERCISE OF OPTION. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 9
through 12, each Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as follows:

                  A. VESTING. The Option shall either be fully exercisable on
         the date of grant or shall become exercisable thereafter in such
         installments as the Committee may specify.

                  B. FULL VESTING OF INSTALLMENTS. Once an installment becomes
         exercisable it shall remain exercisable until expiration or termination
         of the Option, unless otherwise specified by the Committee.

                  C. PARTIAL EXERCISE. Each Option or installment may be
         exercised at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, for up
         to the total number of shares with respect to which it is then
         exercisable.

                  D. ACCELERATION OF VESTING. The Committee shall have the right
         to accelerate the date that any installment of any Option becomes
         exercisable; provided that the Committee shall not, without the consent
         of an optionee, accelerate the permitted exercise date of any
         installment of any Option granted to any employee as an ISO (and not
         previously converted into a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to paragraph
         16) if such acceleration would violate the annual vesting limitation
         contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, as described in paragraph
         6(C).

         9. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Unless otherwise specified in the
agreement relating to such ISO, if an ISO optionee ceases to be employed by the
Company and all Related Corporations other than by reason of death or disability
as defined in paragraph 10, no further

<PAGE>
                                     - 6 -

installments of his or her ISOs shall become exercisable, and his or her ISOs
shall terminate on the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days after the date of
termination of his or her employment, or (b) their specified expiration dates,
except to the extent that such ISOs (or unexercised installments thereof) have
been converted into Non-Qualified Options pursuant to paragraph 16. For purposes
of this paragraph 9, employment shall be considered as continuing uninterrupted
during any bona fide leave of absence (such as those attributable to illness,
military obligations or governmental service) provided that the period of such
leave does not exceed 90 days or, if longer, any period during which such
optionee's right to reemployment is guaranteed by statute. A bona fide leave of
absence with the written approval of the Committee shall not be considered an
interruption of employment under this paragraph 9, provided that such written
approval contractually obligates the Company or any Related Corporation to
continue the employment of the optionee after the approved period of absence.
ISOs granted under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of employment
within or among the Company and Related Corporations, so long as the optionee
continues to be an employee of the Company or any Related Corporation. Nothing
in the Plan shall be deemed to give any grantee of any Stock Right the right to
be retained in employment or other service by the Company or any Related
Corporation for any period of time.

         10. DEATH; DISABILITY.

                  A. DEATH. If an ISO optionee ceases to be employed by the
         Company and all Related Corporations by reason of his or her death, any
         ISO owned by such optionee may be exercised, to the extent otherwise
         exercisable on the date of death, by the estate, personal
         representative or beneficiary who has acquired the ISO by will or by
         the laws of descent and distribution, until the earlier of (i) the
         specified expiration date of the ISO or (ii) 180 days from the date of
         the optionee's death.

                  B. DISABILITY. If an ISO optionee ceases to be employed by the
         Company and all Related Corporations by reason of his or her
         disability, such optionee shall have the right to exercise any ISO held
         by him or her on the date of termination of employment, for the number
         of shares for which he or she could have exercised it on that date,
         until the earlier of (i) the specified expiration date of the ISO or
         (ii) 180 days from the date of the termination of the optionee's
         employment. For the purposes of the Plan, the term "disability" shall
         mean "permanent and total disability" as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of
         the Code or any successor statute.

         11. ASSIGNABILITY. No Stock Right shall be assignable or transferable
by the grantee except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or, in
the case of Non-Qualified Options only, pursuant to a valid domestic relations
order. Except as set forth in the previous sentence, during the lifetime of a
grantee each Stock Right shall be exercisable only by such grantee.

         12. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. Options shall be evidenced by
instruments (which need not be identical) in such forms as the Committee may
from time to time approve. Such instruments shall conform to the terms and
conditions set forth in paragraphs 6 through 11 hereof and may contain such
other provisions as the Committee deems advisable which are not

<PAGE>
                                     - 7 -

inconsistent with the Plan, including restrictions applicable to shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options. The Committee may specify that
any Non-Qualified Option shall be subject to the restrictions set forth herein
with respect to ISOs, or to such other termination and cancellation provisions
as the Committee may determine. The Committee may from time to time confer
authority and responsibility on one or more of its own members and/or one or
more officers of the Company to execute and deliver such instruments. The proper
officers of the Company are authorized and directed to take any and all action
necessary or advisable from time to time to carry out the terms of such
instruments.

         13. ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, an
optionee's rights with respect to Options granted to such optionee hereunder
shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided, unless otherwise specifically
provided in the written agreement between the optionee and the Company relating
to such Option:

                  A. STOCK DIVIDENDS AND STOCK SPLITS. If the shares of Common
         Stock shall be subdivided or combined subsequent to the amendment and
         restatement of this Plan into a greater or smaller number of shares or
         if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock
         dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the number of shares of
         Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of Options shall be
         appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate
         adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect
         such subdivision, combination or stock dividend.

                  B. CONSOLIDATIONS OR MERGERS. If the Company is to be
         consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger, sale of
         all or substantially all of the Company's assets or otherwise (an
         "Acquisition"), the Committee or the board of directors of any entity
         assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the "Successor
         Board"), shall, as to outstanding Options, either (i) make appropriate
         provision for the continuation of such Options by substituting on an
         equitable basis for the shares then subject to such Options either (a)
         the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of
         Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition, (b) shares of stock of
         the surviving corporation or (c) such other securities as the Successor
         Board deems appropriate, the fair market value of which shall not
         materially exceed the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock
         subject to such Options immediately preceding the Acquisition; or (ii)
         upon written notice to the optionees, provide that all Options must be
         exercised, to the extent then exercisable, within a specified number of
         days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the Options
         shall terminate; or (iii) terminate all Options in exchange for a cash
         payment equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares
         subject to such Options (to the extent then exercisable) over the
         exercise price thereof.

                  C. RECAPITALIZATION OR REORGANIZATION. In the event of a
         recapitalization or reorganization of the Company (other than a
         transaction described in subparagraph B above) pursuant to which
         securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with
         respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, an optionee upon
         exercising an Option shall be entitled to receive for the purchase
         price paid upon such exercise the

<PAGE>
                                     - 8 -

         securities he or she would have received if he or she had exercised
         such Option prior to such recapitalization or reorganization.

                  D. MODIFICATION OF ISOS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
         adjustments made pursuant to subparagraphs A, B or C with respect to
         ISOs shall be made only after the Committee, after consulting with
         counsel for the Company, determines whether such adjustments would
         constitute a "modification" of such ISOs (as that term is defined in
         Section 424 of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax consequences
         for the holders of such ISOs. If the Committee determines that such
         adjustments made with respect to ISOs would constitute a modification
         of such ISOs or would cause adverse tax consequences to the holders, it
         may refrain from making such adjustments.

                  E. DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of the proposed
         dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each Option will terminate
         immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action or at
         such other time and subject to such other conditions as shall be
         determined by the Committee.

                  F. ISSUANCES OF SECURITIES. Except as expressly provided
         herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
         securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect,
         and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the
         number or price of shares subject to Options. No adjustments shall be
         made for dividends paid in cash or in property other than securities of
         the Company.

                  G. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued
         under the Plan and the optionee shall receive from the Company cash in
         lieu of such fractional shares.

                  H. ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the happening of any of the events
         described in subparagraphs A, B or C above, the class and aggregate
         number of shares set forth in paragraph 4 hereof that are subject to
         Stock Rights which previously have been or subsequently may be granted
         under the Plan shall also be appropriately adjusted to reflect the
         events described in such subparagraphs. The Committee or the Successor
         Board shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under this
         paragraph 13 and, subject to paragraph 2, its determination shall be
         conclusive.

         14. MEANS OF EXERCISING OPTIONS. An Option (or any part or installment
thereof) shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company at its
principal office address, or to such transfer agent as the Company shall
designate. Such notice shall identify the Option being exercised and specify the
number of shares as to which such Option is being exercised, accompanied by full
payment of the purchase price therefor either (a) in United States dollars in
cash or by check, (b) at the discretion of the Committee, through delivery of
shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal as of the date of the
exercise to the cash exercise price of the Option, (c) at the discretion of the
Committee, by delivery of the grantee's personal recourse note bearing interest
payable not less than annually at no less than 100% of the lowest applicable
Federal rate, as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code, (d) at the discretion
of the Committee and consistent with applicable law, through the delivery of an
assignment to the Company of a

<PAGE>
                                     - 9 -

sufficient amount of the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock acquired
upon exercise of the Option and an authorization to the broker or selling agent
to pay that amount to the Company, which sale shall be at the participant's
direction at the time of exercise, or (e) at the discretion of the Committee, by
any combination of (a), (b), (c) and (d) above. If the Committee exercises its
discretion to permit payment of the exercise price of an ISO by means of the
methods set forth in clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of the preceding sentence,
such discretion shall be exercised in writing at the time of the grant of the
ISO in question. The holder of an Option shall not have the rights of a
shareholder with respect to the shares covered by such Option until the date of
issuance of a stock certificate to such holder for such shares. Except as
expressly provided above in paragraph 13 with respect to changes in
capitalization and stock dividends, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or
similar rights for which the record date is before the date such stock
certificate is issued.

         15. TERM AND AMENDMENT OF PLAN. This Plan was adopted by the Board on
September 28, 1995, subject, with respect to the validation of ISOs granted
under the Plan, to approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company at
the next Meeting of Stockholders or, in lieu thereof, by written consent. If the
approval of stockholders is not obtained prior to September 28, 1996, any grants
of ISOs under the Plan made prior to that date will be rescinded. The Plan shall
expire at the end of the day on September 27, 2005 (except as to Options
outstanding on that date). Subject to the provisions of paragraph 5 above,
Options may be granted under the Plan prior to the date of stockholder approval
of the Plan. The Board may terminate or amend the Plan in any respect at any
time, except that, without the approval of the stockholders obtained within 12
months before or after the Board adopts a resolution authorizing any of the
following actions: (a) the total number of shares that may be issued under the
Plan may not be increased (except by adjustment pursuant to paragraph 13); (b)
the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan may not be materially
increased; (c) the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan
may not be materially modified; (d) the provisions of paragraph 3 regarding
eligibility for grants of ISOs may not be modified; (e) the provisions of
paragraph 6(B) regarding the exercise price at which shares may be offered
pursuant to ISOs may not be modified (except by adjustment pursuant to paragraph
13); (f) the expiration date of the Plan may not be extended; (g) the Board may
not take any action which would cause the Plan to fail to comply with Rule
16b-3, and (h) the provisions of paragraph 6(F) regarding the prohibition on
repricing and regrant of Options may not be modified. Except as otherwise
provided in this paragraph 15, in no event may action of the Board or
stockholders alter or impair the rights of a grantee, without such grantee's
consent, under any Option previously granted to such grantee.

         16. CONVERSION OF ISOS INTO NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS. The Committee, at
the written request or with the written consent of any optionee, may in its
discretion take such actions as may be necessary to convert such optionee's ISOs
(or any installments or portions of installments thereof) that have not been
exercised on the date of conversion into Non-Qualified Options at any time prior
to the expiration of such ISOs, regardless of whether the optionee is an
employee of the Company or a Related Corporation at the time of such conversion.
Such actions may include, but shall not be limited to, extending the exercise
period or reducing the exercise price of the appropriate installments of such
ISOs. At the time of such conversion, the

<PAGE>
                                     - 10 -

Committee (with the consent of the optionee) may impose such conditions on the
exercise of the resulting Non-Qualified Options as the Committee in its
discretion may determine, provided that such conditions shall not be
inconsistent with this Plan. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any
optionee the right to have such optionee's ISOs converted into Non-Qualified
Options, and no such conversion shall occur until and unless the Committee takes
appropriate action.

         17. APPLICATION OF FUNDS. The proceeds received by the Company from the
sale of shares pursuant to Options granted and Purchases authorized under the
Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

         18. NOTICE TO COMPANY OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION. By accepting an ISO
granted under the Plan, each optionee agrees to notify the Company in writing
immediately after such optionee makes a Disqualifying Disposition (as described
in Sections 421, 422 and 424 of the Code and regulations thereunder) of any
stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of ISOs granted under the Plan. A
Disqualifying Disposition is generally any disposition occurring on or before
the later of (a) the date two years following the date the ISO was granted or
(b) the date one year following the date the ISO was exercised.

         19. WITHHOLDING OF ADDITIONAL INCOME TAXES. Upon the exercise of a
Non-Qualified Option, the grant of an Award, the making of a Purchase of Common
Stock for less than its fair market value, the making of a Disqualifying
Disposition (as defined in paragraph 18), the vesting or transfer of restricted
stock or securities acquired on the exercise of an Option hereunder, or the
making of a distribution or other payment with respect to such stock or
securities, the Company may withhold taxes in respect of amounts that constitute
compensation includable in gross income. The Committee in its discretion may
condition (i) the exercise of an Option, (ii) the grant of an Award, (iii) the
making of a Purchase of Common Stock for less than its fair market value, or
(iv) the vesting or transferability of restricted stock or securities acquired
by exercising an Option, on the grantee's making satisfactory arrangement for
such withholding. Such arrangement may include payment by the grantee in cash or
by check of the amount of the withholding taxes or, at the discretion of the
Committee, by the grantee's delivery of previously held shares of Common Stock
or the withholding from the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon
exercise of a Option shares having an aggregate fair market value equal to the
amount of such withholding taxes.

         20. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION. The Company's obligation to sell and
deliver shares of the Common Stock under this Plan is subject to the approval of
any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization,
issuance or sale of such shares.

         Government regulations may impose reporting or other obligations on the
Company with respect to the Plan. For example, the Company may be required to
send tax information statements to employees and former employees that exercise
ISOs under the Plan, and the Company may be required to file tax information
returns reporting the income received by grantees of Options in connection with
the Plan.

         21. GOVERNING LAW. The validity and construction of the Plan and the
instruments evidencing Options shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware, or the laws of any jurisdiction in which the Company or its successors
in interest may be organized.
