her authority. The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing, or the authority of the

                                       12

respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Company or

entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders
after such record date; provided, that no such action shall be effective
hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Senior Notes on such record
date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from
setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously
been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set
shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no
effect). Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the
proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the
Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Senior Notes in the manner set forth in
Section 1.6.

     (g) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Senior Notes entitled to join in the
giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of
acceleration or rescission or annulment thereof referred to in Section 5.2,
(iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(b) or (iv)
any direction referred to in Section 5.12. If any record date is set pursuant to
this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Senior Notes on such record date, and
no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request
or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or
prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Senior Notes on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record
date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to
this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall

                                       13

<PAGE>

automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect).
Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee,
at the Company's expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed
action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company
in writing and to each Holder of Senior Notes in the manner set forth in Section
1.6.

this Section 1.4, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any
day as the "Expiration Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration
Date to any earlier or later day; provided, that no such change shall be
effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the
other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Senior Notes in the manner
set forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an
Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant
to this Section 1.4, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed
to have initially designated the ninetieth (90th) day after such record date as
the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the
Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Expiration Date shall be later than the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day
after the applicable record date.

if in writing and mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder affected
by such event to the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities

of or irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it shall
be impossible or impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when said
notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then
any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall
be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required by or permitted
under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published
notice may be in an official language of the country of publication. Where this
Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after
the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of
notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be
a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver.

assigns, the principal sum of $__________ DOLLARS [if the Senior Note is a
Global Senior Note, then insert-- or such other principal amount represented
hereby as may be set forth in the records of the Securities Registrar
hereinafter referred to in accordance with the Indenture] on July 30, 2016 (the
"Stated Maturity")]. The Company further promises to pay interest on said
principal sum from and including _______, 200__, or from and including the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for, quarterly in arrears, to but excluding and on January 30th, April 30th,
July 30th and October 30th of each year, commencing on ________, 200__, or if
any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (and no
interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so delayed for
the period from and after such Interest Payment Date until such next succeeding
Business Day), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest
Payment Date, at a fixed rate per annum equal to 7.871% through the Interest
Payment Date in July, 2011, and a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly,
equal to LIBOR plus 2.30% thereafter, until the principal hereof is paid or duly
provided for or made available for payment; provided, that any overdue
principal, premium, if any, or any overdue installment of interest shall bear
Additional Interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable) at a fixed rate per annum equal to 7.871% through the
Interest Payment Date in July, 2011, and a variable rate per annum, reset
quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 2.30% thereafter, compounded quarterly, from and
including the dates such amounts are due to but excluding the dates such amounts
are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on
demand.

     The amount of interest payable for any interest period shall be computed
and paid on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in
the relevant interest period. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Senior Note (or one or more
Predecessor Senior Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest installment. Any such interest not so punctually
paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this
Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Senior Notes) is registered at the close
of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest
to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Senior
Notes not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid
at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Senior Notes
may be listed, traded or quoted and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange or automated quotation system, all as more fully provided in the
Indenture.

     The Indenture provides that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and

liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's or the Gurantor's
Equity Interests, (ii) vote in favor of or permit or otherwise allow

any of its Subsidiaries to declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or
redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to or
otherwise retire, any of such Subsidiary's Equity Interests entitling the
holders thereof to a stated rate of return other than dividends or distributions
on Equity Interests payable solely to the Company, the Guarantor or any
Subsidiary thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, whether such Equity Interests
are perpetual or otherwise), or (iii) make any payment of principal of or any
interest or premium on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the
Company that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the
Senior Notes.

     Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Senior Note
shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

Senior Note shall be made at the Place of Payment upon surrender of such Senior
Notes to the Paying Agent, and payments of interest shall be made, subject to
such surrender where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such
account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in
writing to the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date
for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written wire transfer
instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case
such payments shall be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as
such address shall appear in the Security Register.

     This Senior Note shall be entitled to the benefit of the guarantee of
Medical Properties Trust, Inc., the "Guarantor," which term includes any
successor permitted under the Indenture, as specified in the Indenture (the
"Guarantee").

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee by manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, this Senior
Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose.

     This Senior Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (the "Senior Notes") issued under the Indenture, dated as of July 14,
2006 (the "Indenture"), between the Company, Guarantor and Wilmington Trust
Company, as Trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee," which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company,
the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Notes, and of the terms
upon which the Senior Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
This Senior Note shall be part of a single series of notes known as the
Company's Senior Notes due 2016. The aggregate principal amount of the Senior
Notes to be issued under the Indenture after the execution and delivery of the
Indenture until the Interest Payment Date in October, 2006, provided that no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is limited to $100,000,000

exchange for, or in lieu of other Senior Notes).

     All terms used in this Senior Note that are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     The Company may, on any Interest Payment Date, at its option, upon not less
than thirty (30) days' nor more than sixty (60) days' written notice to the
Holders of the Senior Notes (unless a shorter notice period shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee) on or after July 30, 2011 and subject to the terms
and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture, redeem this Senior Note in whole
at any time or in part from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of
any such redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest,
and any premium to but excluding the date fixed for redemption.

     In the event of redemption of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior
Note or Senior Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the
name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If less than all the
Senior Notes are to be redeemed, the particular Senior Notes to be redeemed
shall be selected not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee from the Outstanding Senior Notes not previously called for
redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and
which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal
amount of any Senior Note.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee at any time to enter into a supplemental
indenture or indentures for the purpose of modifying in any manner the rights
and obligations of the Company, the Guarantor and of the Holders of the Senior
Notes, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Senior
Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all Senior Notes, to waive compliance by the
Company or the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any Senior
Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or
in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Senior Note.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium, if any,
and interest, including any Additional Interest, on this Senior Note at the
times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Senior Note is registrable in the Securities
Register, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by,
or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Securities Registrar and duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Senior Notes, of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

     The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
minimum denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Senior Notes and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     The Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the
Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Senior Note is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Senior Note
be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such
agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

this Senior Note, or for any claims based hereon, or otherwise in respect
hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplement
thereto, against any past, present or future stockholder, member, partner,
employee, officer or director, as such, of either the Company (except to the
extent of the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee) or the Guarantor
or any successor, either directly or through the Company or the Guarantor or any
successor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by
the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability
being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue
hereof, expressly waived and released.

     The Company and, by its acceptance of this Senior Note or a beneficial
interest herein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial

by the officers executing such Senior Notes, as evidenced by their execution of
such Senior Notes.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                The Senior Notes

     SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest.

     (a) The unpaid principal amount of the Senior Notes shall bear interest at
a fixed rate per annum equal to 7.871% through the Interest Payment Date in
July, 2011, and a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus
2.30% thereafter, such interest to accrue from and including the Original Issue
Date or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, and any overdue principal, premium,
if any, or any overdue installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest
(to the extent payment

                                       24

<PAGE>

of such interest would be legally enforceable) at a fixed rate per annum equal
to 7.871% through the Interest Payment Date in July, 2011, and a variable rate
per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 2.30% thereafter, from the dates
such amounts are due to but excluding the dates such amounts are paid or funds
for the payment thereof are made available for payment.

     (b) Interest and Additional Interest on any Senior Note that is payable,
and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall
be paid to the Person in whose name that Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor
Senior Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest, except that interest and any Additional Interest payable on
the Stated Maturity (or any date of principal repayment upon early maturity) of
the principal of a Senior Note or on a Redemption Date shall be paid to the
Person to whom principal is paid. The initial payment of interest on any Senior
Note that is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest
Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Senior Note.

     (c) Any interest on any Senior Note that is due and payable, but is not
timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Senior Notes
(herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been
such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its
election in each case, as provided in paragraph (i) or (ii) below:

          (i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
     the Persons in whose names the Senior Notes (or their respective
     Predecessor Senior Notes) are registered at the close of business on a
     special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a "Special
     Record Date"), which shall be fixed in the following manner. At least
     thirty (30) days prior to the date of the proposed payment, the Company
     shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
     proposed to be paid on each Senior Note and the date of the proposed
     payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an
     amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
     respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory
     to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed
     payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of
     the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest. Thereupon the Trustee
     shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
     which shall be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10)
     days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten (10)
     days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
     payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special
     Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause
     notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
     Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each
     Holder of a Senior Note at the address of such Holder as it appears in the
     Securities Register not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special
     Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and
     the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted
     Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Senior Notes (or
     their respective Predecessor Senior Notes) are registered at the close of
     business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
     pursuant to the following paragraph (ii); or

                                       25

<PAGE>

          (ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any
     other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
     securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Senior Notes
     may be listed, traded or quoted and, upon such notice as may be required by
     such exchange or automated quotation system (or by the Trustee if the
     Senior Notes are not listed), if, after notice given by the Company to the
     Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this paragraph, such payment
     shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

     (d) Payments of interest on the Senior Notes shall include interest accrued
to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. The amount of interest
payable for any interest period shall be computed and paid on the basis of a
360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest
period.

     (e) Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Senior
Notes shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at the Maturity of such
Senior Notes shall be made at the Place of Payment upon surrender of such Senior
Notes to the Paying Agent and payments of interest shall be made subject to such
surrender where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such account
at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to
the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment
by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer instructions have
not been received by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall
be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall
appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the
holder of the Senior Note is the Trustee, the payment of the principal of (and
premium if any) and interest (including any overdue installment of interest) on
the Senior Note will be made at such place and to such account as may be
designated by the Trustee.

     (f) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the holders of the Senior
Notes have certain rights to direct the Company to modify the Interest Payment
Dates and corresponding Stated Maturity of the Senior Notes or a portion of the
Senior Notes pursuant to the Placement Agreement. In the event any such
modifications are made to the Senior Notes or a portion of the Senior Notes,
appropriate changes to the form of Senior Note set forth in Article II hereof
shall be made prior to the issuance and authentication of new or replacement
Senior Notes. Any such modification of the Interest Payment Dates and
corresponding Stated Maturity with respect to any Senior Notes or tranche of
Senior Notes shall not require or be subject to the consent of the Trustee.

     (g) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, each Senior
Note delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in
lieu of any other Senior Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and
unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Senior Note.

     (h) The Senior Notes will rank pari passu with each other and the Company's
other senior unsecured obligations from time to time outstanding.

                                       26

<PAGE>

     SECTION 3.2. Denominations.

     The Senior Notes shall be in registered form without coupons and shall be
issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof.

     SECTION 3.3. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     (a) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture until the Interest Payment Date in October, 2006, provided that
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may deliver
Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount (including all then Outstanding
Senior Notes) not in excess of $100,000,000 executed by the Company to the
Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication
and delivery of such Senior Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with the
Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Senior Notes. In
authenticating such Senior Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Senior Notes, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon:

          (i) a copy of any Board Resolution relating thereto; and

          (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) such Senior Notes, when
     authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the
     manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel,
     will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company,
     subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
     moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or
     affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles; (2) the
     Senior Notes have been duly authorized and executed by the Company and have
     been delivered to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this
     Indenture; and (3) the Senior Notes are not required to be registered under
     the Securities Act.

     (b) The Senior Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive
Officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of
these officers on the Senior Notes may be manual or facsimile. Senior Notes
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time
the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that
such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Senior Notes or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Senior Notes.

     (c) No Senior Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Senior Note
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
officers, and such certificate upon any Senior Note shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Senior Note has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
Senior Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never
issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Senior Note
to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.8, for all purposes of
this Indenture such Senior Note shall be deemed never to have

                                       27

<PAGE>

been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

     (d) Each Senior Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     SECTION 3.4. Global Senior Notes.

     (a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Senior
Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for registered Senior Notes, and no
transfer of a Global Senior Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the
name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Senior Note or a
nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary advises the Trustee and the Company
in writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or able to properly
discharge its responsibilities as Depositary with respect to such Global Senior
Note, and no qualified successor is appointed by the Company within ninety (90)
days of receipt by the Company of such notice, (ii) such Depositary ceases to be
a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and no successor is
appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after obtaining knowledge of
such event, (iii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company
Order stating that the Company elects to terminate the book-entry system through
the Depositary or (iv) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (i), (ii),
(iii) or (iv) above, the Trustee shall notify the Depositary and instruct the
Depositary to notify all owners of beneficial interests in such Global Senior
Note of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Senior Notes to
such owners of beneficial interests requesting the same. Upon the issuance of
such Senior Notes and the registration in the Securities Register of such Senior
Notes in the names of the Holders of the beneficial interests therein, the
Trustee shall recognize such holders of beneficial interests as Holders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global
Senior Note wishes at any time to transfer an interest in such Global Senior
Note to a Person other than a QIB, such transfer shall be effected, subject to
the Applicable Depositary Procedures, in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 3.4 and Section 3.5, and the transferee shall receive a Definitive
Senior Note Certificate in connection with such transfer. A holder of a
Definitive Senior Note Certificate that is a QIB may, upon request, and in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4 and Section 3.5, exchange
such Definitive Senior Note Certificate for a beneficial interest in a Global
Senior Note.

     (b) If any Global Senior Note is to be exchanged for other Senior Notes or
canceled in part, or if another Senior Note is to be exchanged in whole or in
part for a beneficial interest in any Global Senior Note, then either (i) such
Global Senior Note shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as
provided in this Article III or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be
reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so
exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Senior
Note to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be,
by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities
Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Depositary
Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to
make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or
adjustment of a Global Senior Note by the Depositary, accompanied by
registration instructions, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver any Senior Notes issuable in exchange for

                                       28

<PAGE>

such Global Senior Note (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the
instructions of the Depositary. The Trustee shall not be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully
protected in relying on, such instructions.

     (c) Every Senior Note executed, authenticated and delivered upon
registration or transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Senior
Note or any portion thereof shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in
the form of, and shall be, a Global Senior Note, unless such Senior Note is
registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global
Senior Note or a nominee thereof.

     (d) The Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global
Senior Note, shall be the Holder of such Global Senior Note for all purposes
under this Indenture and the Senior Notes, and owners of beneficial interests in
a Global Senior Note shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable
Depositary Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in a
Global Senior Note shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest
shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its
nominee or its Depositary Participants. The Securities Registrar and the Trustee
shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Indenture
relating to a Global Senior Note (including the payment of principal and
interest thereon and the giving of instructions or directions by owners of
beneficial interests therein and the giving of notices) as the sole Holder of
the Senior Note and shall have no obligations to the owners of beneficial
interests therein. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have
any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary.

     (e) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Senior Note
shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those
established by law, the Applicable Depositary Procedures and agreements between
such owners and the Depositary and/or its Depositary Participants; provided,
that, solely for the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite
amount of Senior Notes have voted on any matter provided for in this Indenture,
to the extent that Senior Notes are represented by a Global Senior Note, the
Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on,
any written instrument (including a proxy) delivered to the Trustee by the
Depositary setting forth the owners' votes or assigning the right to vote on any
matter to any other Persons either in whole or in part. To the extent that
Senior Notes are represented by a Global Senior Note, the initial Depositary
will make book-entry transfers among the Depositary Participants and receive and
transmit payments on the Senior Notes that are represented by a Global Senior
Note to such Depositary Participants, and none of the Depositor or the Trustee
shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect thereto.

     (f) To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is
required under this Indenture, for so long as Senior Notes are represented by a
Global Senior Note, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications
to the Depositary, and shall have no obligations to the owners of beneficial
interests in a Global Senior Note.

     (g) No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Senior Note held on
its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with
respect to such Global Senior

                                       29

<PAGE>

Note, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Guarantor, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee as the owner
of such Global Senior Note for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the
Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the
Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a
Global Senior Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating
to such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the
Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair,
as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation
of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary
(or its nominee) as Holder of any Senior Note.

     SECTION 3.5. Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally.

     (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a
register (the "Securities Register") in which the registrar and transfer agent
with respect to the Senior Notes (the "Securities Registrar"), subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration
of Senior Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Senior Notes. The Trustee
shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of Article
VI shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar.

     (b) Subject to compliance with Section 2.2(b), upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Senior Note at the offices or agencies of the
Company designated for that purpose the Company shall execute by manual or
facsimile signature, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name
of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Senior Notes of any
authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

     (c) At the option of the Holder, Senior Notes may be exchanged for other
Senior Notes of any authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Senior Notes to be exchanged at such
office or agency. Whenever any Senior Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute by manual or facsimile signature, and upon receipt thereof
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Senior Notes that the Holder
making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

     (e) Every Senior Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange
shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing and (i) if such Senior Note
Certificate is being transferred otherwise than to a QIB, accompanied by a
certificate of the transferee substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit C
hereto or (ii) if such

                                       30
<PAGE>

Senior Note Certificate is being transferred to a QIB, accompanied by a
certificate of the transferor substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit D
hereto.

     (f) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or
exchange of Senior Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Senior Notes.

     (g) The Company shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies
where Senior Notes may be surrendered for registration or transfer or exchange.
The Company initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as its office and
agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the
Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such office or
agency.

     (h) Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Senior Note during a period beginning
at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before any selection of Senior
Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Article XI and ending at the close of business
on the day of mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or (ii) to register
the transfer of or exchange any Senior Note so selected for redemption in whole
or in part, except, in the case of any such Senior Note to be redeemed in part,
any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

     (i) Each Holder of a Senior Note agrees to indemnify the Company and the
Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or
assignment of such Holder's Senior Note in violation of provisions of this
Indenture or applicable United States or state securities law.

     SECTION 3.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Senior Notes.

     (a) If any mutilated Senior Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Company together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the
Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them
harmless, the Company shall execute and upon receipt thereof the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Senior Note of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

     (b) If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i)
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Senior
Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee
that such Senior Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company
shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note, a new Senior
Note of like tenor and aggregate principal amount as such destroyed, lost or
stolen Senior Note, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

                                       31

<PAGE>

     (c) If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note has become
or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Senior Note, pay such Senior Note.

     (d) Upon the issuance of any new Senior Note under this Section 3.6, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

     (e) Every new Senior Note issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of
any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Senior Notes duly
issued hereunder.

     (f) The provisions of this Section 3.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Notes.

     SECTION 3.7. Persons Deemed Owners.

     The Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the
Guarantor or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Senior Note is
registered as the owner of such Senior Note for the purpose of receiving payment
of principal of and any interest on such Senior Note and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of
the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon such Person's
order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability for money payable upon any such Senior Note.

     SECTION 3.8. Cancellation.

     All Senior Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange
shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the
Trustee, and any such Senior Notes and Senior Notes surrendered directly to the
Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may
at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Senior Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Senior Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled
by the Trustee. No Senior Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange
for any Senior Notes canceled as provided in this Section 3.8, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Senior Notes shall be
disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary practices and the
Trustee shall deliver to the Company a certificate of such disposition.

     SECTION 3.9. RESERVED.

     SECTION 3.10. RESERVED.

     SECTION 3.11. Agreed Tax Treatment.

     Each Senior Note issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by
its acceptance or acquisition of a Senior Note or a beneficial interest therein,
the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a direct or indirect beneficial
interest in, such Senior Note, intend and agree to treat such Senior Note as
indebtedness of the Company for United States Federal, state and local tax
purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be interpreted to further this
intention and agreement of the parties.

     SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers.

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

     In the event that the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate any Additional Notes pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall
use its best efforts to obtain the same CUSIP number for such Additional Notes
as is printed on the Senior Notes outstanding at such time; provided, however,
that if any Additional Notes are determined, pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel,
to be a different class of security than the Senior Notes outstanding at such
time for federal income tax purposes, the Company may obtain a CUSIP number for
such Additional Notes that is different from the CUSIP number printed on the
Senior Notes then outstanding.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                           Satisfaction and Discharge

     SECTION 4.1. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

     This Indenture shall, upon Company Request, cease to be of further effect
(except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of
Senior Notes herein expressly provided for and as otherwise provided in this
Section 4.1) and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture, when

     (a) either

                                       33

<PAGE>

          (i) all Senior Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other
     than (A) Senior Notes that have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
     and that have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6 and (B)
     Senior Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in
     trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid
     to the Company or discharged from such trust as provided in Section 10.2)
     have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

          (ii) all such Senior Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
     for cancellation

               (A)  have become due and payable,

               (B)  will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within
                    one year of the date of deposit, or

               (C)  are to be called for redemption within one year under
                    arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
                    notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
                    expense, of the Company,

     and the Company, in the case of subclause (ii)(A), (B) or (C) above, has
     deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
     trust for such purpose (x) an amount in the currency or currencies in which
     the Senior Notes are payable, (y) Government Obligations which through the
     scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in
     accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of
     any payment, money in an amount or (z) a combination thereof, in each case
     sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
     public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered
     to the Trustee, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Senior
     Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for
     principal and any premium, if any, and interest (including any Additional
     Interest) to the date of such deposit (in the case of Senior Notes that
     have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity (or any date of
     principal repayment upon early maturity) or Redemption Date, as the case
     may be;

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

     (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided

the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.11 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (a)(ii) of this
Section 4.1, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and Section
10.2(e) shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal

     (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then and in every such
case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty five percent (25%) in
principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes may declare the principal
amount of all the Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in

consequent thereon.

Trustee.

     (a) Each of the Company and the Guarantor covenants that if:

          (i) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest
     (including any Additional Interest) on any Senior Note when such interest
     becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of thirty
     (30) days, or

          (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of and any
     premium on any Senior Note at the Maturity thereof,

Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Senior Notes, the whole amount
then due and payable on such Senior Notes for principal and any premium and
interest (including any Additional Interest) and, in addition thereto, all
amounts owing the Trustee under Section 6.6.

     (b) If the Company or the Guarantor fails to pay such amounts forthwith

trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due
and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and
may enforce the same against the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor
upon such Senior Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable

judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and
enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

the Senior Notes), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and
all actions authorized hereunder in order to have claims of the Holders and the
Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be
authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders, to first pay to the Trustee any
amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts owing the
Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and other Persons under Section 6.6.

     SECTION 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claim Without Possession of Senior Notes.

     All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Senior Notes
may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of
the Senior Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto,
and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own
name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of all the amounts owing the Trustee, any predecessor
Trustee and other Persons under Section 6.6, be for the ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Senior Notes in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered.

interest (including any Additional Interest), upon presentation of the Senior
Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon

Notes for principal and any premium and interest (including any Additional
Interest) in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been
collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
amounts due and payable on the Senior Notes for principal and any premium and
interest (including any Additional Interest), respectively; and

     THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.

     SECTION 5.7. Limitation on Suits.

     Subject to Section 5.8, no Holder of any Senior Notes shall have any right
to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture or for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless:

     (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a
continuing Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes;

     (b) the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Senior Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee
to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as
Trustee hereunder;

     (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with
such request;

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

     (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to
the Trustee during such sixty (60)-day period by the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes;

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

     SECTION 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium
and Interest.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Senior Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and any premium on such Senior Note at its
Maturity and payment of interest (including any Additional Interest) on such
Senior Note when due and payable (or, in the case of redemption, on the
Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

     SECTION 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

     If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or
such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee
and such Holder shall, subject to any determination in such

                                       39

<PAGE>

proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions
hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holder
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

     SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6(f), no right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or the Holders is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

     SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

     No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Holder of any Senior Notes to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law
to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may
be.

     SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders.

place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or

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

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

     (c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the Trustee shall have the
right to decline to follow such direction if a Responsible Officer or Officers
of the Trustee shall, in good faith, reasonably determine that the proceeding so
directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not joining in any such
direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

     SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.

     (a) The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Senior Notes may waive any past Event of Default hereunder
and its consequences except an Event of Default:

          (i) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest
     (including any Additional Interest) on any Senior Note (unless such Event
     of Default has been cured

                                       40

<PAGE>

     and the Company or the Guarantor has paid to or deposited with the Trustee
     a sum sufficient to pay all installments of interest (including any
     Additional Interest) due and past due and all principal of and any premium
     on all Senior Notes due otherwise than by acceleration), or

          (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Article
     IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of any
     Outstanding Senior Note.

     (b) Any such waiver shall be deemed to be on behalf of the Holders of all
the Senior Notes.

     (c) Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and
any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs.

     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Senior Note by
his or her acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may
in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action
taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but
the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by
the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding
in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Senior Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any premium on the Senior Note
after the Stated Maturity or any interest (including any Additional Interest) on
any Senior Note after it is due and payable (or, in the case of redemption, on
the Redemption Date).

     SECTION 5.15. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

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

                                   The Trustee

     SECTION 6.1. Corporate Trustee Required.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to the Senior
Notes. The Trustee shall be a corporation or national banking association
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state
thereof, authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or state authority and having an office within the United
States. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining
authority, then, for the purposes of this Section 6.1, the combined capital and
surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.1, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article VI.

     SECTION 6.2. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

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

          (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
     as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, 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; provided,
     that in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision
     hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
     Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or
     not they substantially conform on their face to the requirements of this
     Indenture.

     (b) If an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is
continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from
the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Senior Notes, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall
require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly
so

                                       42

<PAGE>

provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting
the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section 6.2. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the
Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Holders, the Trustee shall
not be liable to any Holder for the Trustee's good faith reliance on the
provisions of this Indenture. The provisions of this Indenture, to the extent
that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Trustee otherwise existing
at law or in equity, are agreed by the Company and the Holders to replace such
other duties and liabilities of the Trustee.

     (d) No provisions of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability with respect to matters that are within the authority of
the Trustee under this Indenture for its own negligent action, negligent failure
to act or willful misconduct, except that:

          (i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error or judgment made in
     good faith by an authorized officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be
     proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

          (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken
     or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction
     of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
     Outstanding Senior Notes (or such other percentage as may be required by
     the terms hereof), relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
     proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee under this Indenture;
     and

          (iii) the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any
     money received by it hereunder and money held by the Trustee in trust
     hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
     required by law.

     SECTION 6.3. Notice of Defaults.

     Within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any default actually known
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the Holders notice of such default unless
such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, that except in the case
of a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on
any Senior Notes, the Trustee shall be fully protected in withholding the notice
if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust
committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of Holders; and
provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 5.1(c), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least thirty
(30) days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section 6.3, the
term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or
both would become, an Event of Default.

     SECTION 6.4. Certain Rights of Trustee.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2:

                                       43

<PAGE>

     (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in
acting or refraining from acting in good faith and in accordance with the terms
hereof upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note or other paper
or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties;

     (b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Indenture the Trustee is
required to decide between alternative courses of action, (ii) in construing any
of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee finds ambiguous or inconsistent
with any other provisions contained herein or (iii) the Trustee is unsure of the
application of any provision of this Indenture, then, except as to any matter as

reliance thereon;

refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such action until such
instructions are received and (iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance

connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding referred to in

     (k) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem

     (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to
the Company.

     (c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the

any resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, each
successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor
Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights,
powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder.

     (b) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute
any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor Trustee all rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph
(a) of this Section 6.8.

     (c) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of

     SECTION 6.9. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

     Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall
be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided,
that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article
VI. In case any Senior Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered,
by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation or as otherwise provided above in this Section 6.9 to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Senior
Notes so authenticated, and in case any Senior Notes shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Senior Notes
either in the name of any predecessor Trustee or in the name of such successor
Trustee, and in all cases the certificate of authentication shall have the full
force which it is provided anywhere in the Senior Notes or in this Indenture
that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

     SECTION 6.10. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Senior Notes.

     The recitals contained herein and in the Senior Notes, except the Trustee's
certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company
or the Guarantor, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes
any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations

     (a) The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect
to the Senior Notes, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee
to authenticate Senior Notes issued upon original issue and upon exchange,
registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section
3.6, and Senior Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated
by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an
instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of
which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference
is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Senior Notes by
the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall
be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be an entity organized and doing business and in
good standing under the laws of the United States of America, or of any State or
Territory thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act
as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state
authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least
annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.11 the combined capital and
surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If
at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6.11, such Authenticating Agent shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 6.11.

     (b) Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be
a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of an Authenticating Agent shall be the successor Authenticating
Agent hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this
Section 6.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

     (c) An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor. The Trustee may at any
time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice
thereof to such Authenticating Agent, the Company and the Guarantor. Upon
receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at
any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 6.11, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.11, which
shall be acceptable to the Company, and shall give notice of such appointment to
all Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.6. Any successor Authenticating
Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all
the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as
if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.

     (d) The Company or the Guarantor agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent
from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section
6.11 in such amounts as the Company and the Authenticating Agent shall agree

     (e) If an appointment of an Authenticating Agent is made pursuant to this
Section 6.11, the Senior Notes may have endorsed thereon an alternative

authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to
time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

     (a) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, and the assumption by any such successor of the
covenants of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, herein and in the
Senior Notes; or

     (b) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein
that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to
make or amend any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
under this Indenture, which shall not be inconsistent with the other provisions
of this Indenture, provided, that such action pursuant to this clause (b) shall
not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holders; or

     (c) to add to the covenants, restrictions or obligations of the Company or
the Guarantor or to add to the Events of Default, provided, that such action

into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Senior Notes under this Indenture; provided, that no such supplemental indenture
shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Senior Note,

          (i) except as set forth in Section 3.1(f), change the Stated Maturity
     of the principal or any premium of any Senior Note or change the date of
     payment of any installment of interest (including any Additional Interest)
     on any Senior Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of
     interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof or
     change the Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any
     Senior Note or interest thereon is payable, or restrict or impair the right
     to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
     date (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date), or

                                       54

<PAGE>

          (ii) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the
     Outstanding Senior Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for any
     such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required
     for any waiver of compliance with any provision of this Indenture or of
     defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture,
     or

          (iii) modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.2, Section 5.13

     amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes, the consent of whose Holders is
     required for any reason, or to provide that certain other provisions of
     this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the
     Holder of each Senior Note.

     (b) It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 9.2
to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it
shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

     SECTION 9.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

     In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental
indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the
trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to such action have been complied with.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental
indenture that affects the Trustee's own rights, duties, indemnities or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Copies of the final form of each
supplemental indenture shall be delivered by the Trustee at the expense of the
Company to each Holder, promptly after the execution thereof.

     SECTION 9.4. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

     Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX,
this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental
indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder
of Senior Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder
shall be bound thereby.

     SECTION 9.5. Reference in Senior Notes to Supplemental Indentures.

     Senior Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and shall if required by
the Company, bear a notation in form approved by the Company as to any matter

new Senior Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Company, to
any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and
the Guarantor and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for
Outstanding Senior Notes.

such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
this Section 10.2, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of
this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent
and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other

such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee,
such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such money.

                                       56

<PAGE>

     (e) Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Company in trust for the payment of the principal of and any premium or
interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Senior Note and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal and any premium or interest has
become due and payable shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision
of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be paid on Company
Request to the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall (unless otherwise
required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed
property law) be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Senior Note
shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the
Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English
language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money

as Exhibit B) covering the preceding fiscal year, stating whether or not to the
knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance or
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture

     SECTION 10.5. Additional Covenants.

     (a) Each of the Guarantor and the Company covenants and agrees with each
Holder of Senior Notes that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on,
or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any
of the Company's or the Gurantor's Equity Interests, (ii) vote in favor of or
permit or otherwise allow any of its Subsidiaries to declare or pay any
dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a
liquidation payment with respect to or otherwise retire, any of such
Subsidiary's Equity Interests entitling the holders thereof to a stated rate of
return other than dividends or distributions on Equity Interests payable solely
to the Company, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary thereof (for the avoidance of
doubt, whether such Equity Interests are perpetual or otherwise), or (iii) make
any payment of principal

                                       57

securities of the Company that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in
interest to the Senior Notes.

     (b) The Guarantor shall maintain its status as a real estate investment
trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, unless and until such
time as the Guarantor's Board of Directors determines that it is no longer
advisable to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust.

     SECTION 10.6. Waiver of Covenants.

     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant
or condition contained in Section 10.5 if, before or after the time for such
compliance, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Senior Notes shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or
condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or
condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall
become effective, the obligations of the Company in respect of any such covenant
or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

     SECTION 10.7. Treatment of Senior Notes.

     The Company will treat the Senior Notes as indebtedness, and the amounts
(other than payments of principal) payable in respect of the principal amount of
such Senior Notes as interest, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. All
payments in respect of the Senior Notes will be made free and clear of U.S.
withholding tax to any beneficial owner thereof that has provided an Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8BEN (or any substitute or successor form)
establishing its U.S. or non-U.S. status for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

     SECTION 10.8. Change in Control.

     (a) In the event of a Change of Control, then, upon written notice (a
"Repurchase Notice") delivered to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee by
the Holders of not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior
Notes Outstanding, the Company and the Guarantor shall be jointly and severally
obligated to offer to repurchase from all of the Holders, and shall repurchase
from such Holders who accept such offer, all of the outstanding Senior Notes
held by such Holders, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes being repurchased, with accrued interest,
including any Additional Interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of such
repurchase and any Breakage Costs. The Repurchase Notice shall be delivered by
such Holders within 20 days following receipt of the Change of Control Notice,
and any repurchase shall be consummated no later than 20 days following the
occurrence of a Change in Control. In the event that the Holders of not less
than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes Outstanding do
not deliver a Repurchase Notice within the required time set forth in this
Section 10.8 in respect of a Change of Control Notice, then the Holders shall be
deemed to have waived their option to have their Senior Notes repurchased
pursuant to this Section 10.8 in respect of such Change of Control.

                                       58

<PAGE>

     (b) In the event of a Change of Control, the Company or the Guarantor shall
deliver notice of such Change of Control (a "Change of Control Notice") to the
Holders and the Trustee at least 45 days prior to the effective date of the
Change of Control.

     SECTION 10.9. Calculation Agent.

     (a) The Company hereby agrees that for so long as any of the Senior Notes
remain Outstanding, there will at all times be a calculation agent appointed to
calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest Payment Date in accordance with the
terms of Schedule A hereto (the "Calculation Agent"). The Company has initially
appointed the Trustee as the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR
for each Interest Payment Date. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the
Company at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as
such or is removed by the Company, the Company will promptly appoint as a
replacement Calculation Agent the London office of a leading bank which is
engaged in transactions in U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe in the international
market for U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe and which does not control or is not
controlled by or under common control with the Company or its Affiliates. The
Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly
appointed.

     (b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as
possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date, but in
no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately
following such LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate
the interest rate and dollar amount (rounded to the nearest cent, with half a
cent being rounded upwards) for the related Interest Payment Date, and will
communicate such rate and amount to the Company, the Trustee, each Paying Agent
and the Depositary. The Calculation Agent shall also specify to the Company the
quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based and, in any
event, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Company before 5:00 p.m. (London
time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that either: (i) it has determined or is
in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts or (ii) it has not
determined and is not in the process of determining the foregoing rates and
amounts, together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent's
determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Payment Date
will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.
For the sole purpose of calculating the interest rate for the Senior Notes,
"Business Day" shall be defined as any day on which dealings in deposits in
Dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

                           Redemption of Senior Notes

     SECTION 11.1. Optional Redemption.

     The Company may, at its option, on any Interest Payment Date, on or after
July 30, 2011, redeem the Senior Notes in whole at any time or in part from time
to time, at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the
principal amount thereof (or of the redeemed portion thereof, as applicable),
together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest,

                                       59

<PAGE>

including any Additional Interest, and any premiums, to but excluding the date
fixed for redemption.

     SECTION 11.2. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

     The election of the Company to redeem any Senior Notes, in whole or in
part, shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any
redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, not less than
thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the
Trustee in writing of such date and of the principal amount of the Senior Notes
to be redeemed and provide the additional information required to be included in
the notice or notices contemplated by Section 11.4. A failure to give such
notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Senior Note
designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of any other Senior Note. In the case of any
redemption of Senior Notes, in whole or in part, (a) prior to the expiration of
any restriction on such redemption provided in this Indenture or the Senior
Notes or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a
condition specified in this Indenture or the Senior Notes, the Company shall
furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel
evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

     SECTION 11.3. Selection of Senior Notes to be Redeemed.

     (a) If less than all the Senior Notes are to be redeemed, the particular
Senior Notes to be redeemed shall be selected and redeemed on a pro rata basis
not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from
the Outstanding Senior Notes not previously called for redemption by such
methods as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, provided, that the
unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Senior Note shall be in an
authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized
denomination) for such Senior Note.

     (b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Securities
Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Senior Notes selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Senior Notes selected for partial redemption,
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture,
unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption
of Senior Notes shall relate, in the case of any Senior Note redeemed or to be
redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Senior
Note that has been or is to be redeemed.

     (c) The provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 11.3 shall not
apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Senior Note,
whether such Senior Note is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of
any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of
the Senior Note shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less
than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Senior Note.

     SECTION 11.4. Notice of Redemption.

     (a) Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section
1.6 not later than the thirtieth (30th) day, and not earlier than the sixtieth
(60th) day, prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Senior Notes to be
redeemed, in whole or in part.

     (b) With respect to Senior Notes to be redeemed, in whole or in part, each
notice of redemption shall state:

          (i) the Redemption Date;

          (ii) the Redemption Price or, if the Redemption Price cannot be
     calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the
     estimate of the Redemption Price, as calculated by the Company, together
     with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption
     Price will be calculated on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the
     Redemption Date (and if an estimate is provided, a further notice shall be
     sent of the actual Redemption Price on the date that such Redemption Price
     is calculated);

          (iii) if less than all Outstanding Senior Notes are to be redeemed,
     the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective
     principal amounts) of the particular Senior Notes to be redeemed;

          (iv) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, with accrued
     interest, including any Additional Interest, and any premiums, will become
     due and payable upon each such Senior Note or portion thereof, and that any
     interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Senior Note or such
     portion, as the case may be, shall cease to accrue on and after said date;
     and

          (v) the place or places where such Senior Notes are to be surrendered
     for payment of the Redemption Price.

     (c) Notice of redemption of Senior Notes to be redeemed, in whole or in
part, at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the
Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company
and shall be irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner provided above
shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail
or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Senior Note designated for
redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other Senior Note.

     SECTION 11.5. Deposit of Redemption Price.

     On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date
specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in Section 11.4, the
Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or if
the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company will segregate and
hold in trust as provided in Section 10.2) an amount of

                                       61

<PAGE>

money sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and any
accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) on, all the Senior Notes
(or portions thereof) that are to be redeemed on that date.

     SECTION 11.6. Payment of Senior Notes Called for Redemption.

     (a) If any notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 11.4,
the Senior Notes or portion of Senior Notes with respect to which such notice
has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or
places stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, together with
accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) and any premiums, to the
Redemption Date. On presentation and surrender of such Senior Notes at a Place
of Payment specified in such notice, the Senior Notes or the specified portions
thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption
Price, together with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the
Redemption Date.

     (b) Upon presentation of any Senior Note redeemed in part only, the Company
shall execute and upon receipt thereof the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Senior Note
or Senior Notes, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion of the Senior Note so presented and having the
same Original Issue Date, Stated Maturity and terms.

     (c) If any Senior Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal of and any premium on such
Senior Note shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the
rate prescribed therefor in the Senior Note.

                                    Guarantee

     SECTION 12.1. The Guarantee.

     The Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to
each holder of a Senior Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee the due
and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including
Additional Interest) on such Senior Note, when and as the same shall become due
and payable, whether at Maturity, by acceleration, upon redemption or otherwise,
in accordance with the terms of such Senior Note and this Indenture, as well as
the due and punctual performance of all other obligations contained in the
Senior Notes and this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Company to
punctually pay its obligations on any Senior Note, the Guarantor hereby agrees
to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall
become due and payable, whether at Maturity, by acceleration, upon redemption or
otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company. This Guarantee will
rank pari passu with all of the Guarantor's other unsecured obligations,
including other guarantees.

                                       62

<PAGE>

     SECTION 12.2. Guarantee Unconditional, etc.

     The Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall be liable as principal and as
debtor hereunder with respect to its obligations under this Article XII. This
Article XII creates a guarantee of payment and not of collection on the part of
the Guarantor. The Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall be absolute,
irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any
invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any Senior Note or this
Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any Senior Note or this
Indenture, or any waiver, modification, consent or indulgence granted with
respect thereto by the holder of such Senior Note or the Trustee, the recovery
of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same, or any
other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of a surety or guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to any such
Senior Note or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever,
and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in
full of the principal of and any premium, and interest (including Additional
Interest) on the Senior Notes and the complete performance of all other
obligations contained in the Senior Notes and this Indenture. The Guarantor
further agrees, to the fullest extent that it lawfully may do so, that, as
between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the
other hand, the Maturity of the Senior Notes shall or may, as the case may be,
be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for purposes of the Guarantor's
obligations under this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
prohibition existing under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar law of any jurisdiction preventing such acceleration in respect of the
obligations guaranteed hereby.

     SECTION 12.3. Reinstatement.

     This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time a payment in respect of any Senior Note, in whole or in
part, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored to the Company or the Guarantor
upon the bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

     SECTION 12.4. Subrogation.

     The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of any Senior
Note against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the
Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that
the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments
arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation as a result of payment
under this Guarantee, if, after giving effect to any such payment, any amounts
are due and unpaid under this Guarantee. If any amount shall be paid to the
Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold
such amount in trust for the Holders and to pay such amount to the Holders.

     This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but

                             DETERMINATION OF LIBOR

     With respect to the Senior Notes, the London interbank offered rate
("LIBOR") shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the
following provisions (in each case rounded to the nearest .000001%):

(1) On the second LIBOR Business Day (as defined below) prior to an Interest
Payment Date, occurring after the Interest Payment Date in July, 2011 (each such
day, a "LIBOR Determination Date"), LIBOR shall, for the following interest
payment period, equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent from
Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News, for three-month U.S. Dollar
deposits in Europe, which appears on Dow Jones Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in
the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 1991 Interest Rate and
Currency Exchange Definitions), or such other page as may replace such Page
3750, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date.

(2) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Dow Jones
Telerate Page 3750 or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations
of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading banks in the London
interbank market for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe in an amount
determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as
of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date made
by the Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks. If, on any LIBOR Determination
Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall
equal such arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination
Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR
shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading
banks in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting on
the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in
Europe in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the
principal London offices of leading banks in the London interbank market;
provided that, if the Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a
rate in accordance with at least one of the procedures provided above, LIBOR
shall be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR Determination Date, or
adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest
rate on the basis set forth above (due to changes arising in the interbank
Eurocurrency market or otherwise), then the Senior Notes shall not bear interest
in respect of LIBOR but shall instead bear interest with reference to a floating
rate equal to the Base Rate (as defined below).

(3) As used herein: "Reference Banks" means four major banks in the London
interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent; and "LIBOR Business Day"
means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings
in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London; the "Base Rate" on
any day shall equal the greater of the arithmetic mean of (i) the "prime rate"
for dollar denominated loans quoted by leading banks in the City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined
below) plus 0.50% per annum; and the "Federal Funds Rate" on any day equals the
rate per annum equal to the weighted average (rounded upwards to the nearest
0.000001) of the rate on overnight federal funds transactions with members of
the Federal Reserve System only

          Re: Purchase of $___ of ___% Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          In connection with our purchase of the Senior Notes we confirm that:

          1. We understand that the ___% Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes") of
MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Company") (including the guarantee (the
"Guarantee") of Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the "Guarantor") executed in
connection therewith) (the Senior Notes and the Guarantee together being
referred to herein as the "Offered Securities"), have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be
offered or 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
Offered Securities that, if we decide to offer, sell or otherwise transfer any
such Offered Securities, such offer, sale or transfer will be made only (a) to
the Company, (b) to a person we reasonably believe is a "qualified institutional
buyer" (a "QIB") (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) in a
transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (c)
to an institutional "accredited investor" within the meaning of subparagraph (a)
(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act that is acquiring
Offered Securities for its own account, or for the account of such an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of subparagraph (a) (1), (2), (3) or
(7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act, for investment purposes and not with a
view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in
violation of the Securities Act, (d) pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, or (e) pursuant to an exemption from the
Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws
of any state of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction and, in
the case of (c) or (e), subject to the right of the Company to require an
opinion of counsel. If any resale or other transfer of the Offered Securities is
proposed to be made pursuant to clause (c) or (e) above, the transferor shall
deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to
the Trustee as Transfer Agent, which shall provide as applicable, among other
things, that the transferee is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
subparagraph (a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act that
is acquiring such Securities for investment purposes and not for distribution in
violation of the Securities Act. We acknowledge on our behalf and on behalf of
any investor account for which we are purchasing Securities that the Company
reserves the right prior to any offer, sale or other transfer pursuant to clause
(e) or (c) to require the delivery of any opinion of counsel. We understand that
the certificates for any Offered Security that we receive will bear a legend
substantially to the effect of the foregoing.

          2. We are an "accredited investor" within the meaning of subparagraph
(a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act purchasing for our
own account or for the account of such an "accredited investor," and we are
acquiring the Offered Securities for investment purposes and not with a view to,
or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the
Securities Act, and 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 Offered Securities, and we and any account for which we are
acting are each able to bear the economic risks of our or its investment.

          3. We are acquiring the Offered Securities purchased by us for our own
account (or for one or more accounts as to each of which we exercise sole
investment discretion and have authority to make, and do make, the statements
contained in this letter) and not with a view to any distribution of the Offered
Securities, subject, nevertheless, to the understanding that the disposition of
our property will at all times be and remain within our control.

          4. In the event that we purchase any Senior Notes, we will acquire
such Senior Note having an aggregate amount of not less than $100,000 for our
own account and for each separate account for which we are acting.

          5. We acknowledge that either (A) we are not an employee benefit plan,
individual retirement account or other plan or arrangement subject to Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (each
a "Plan"), or an entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" by reason
of any Plan's investment in the entity, and are not purchasing the Offered
Securities on behalf of or with "plan assets" by reason of any Plan's investment
in the entity; (B) we are eligible for the exemptive relief available under one
or more of the following prohibited transaction class exemptions ("PTCEs")
issued by the U.S. Department of Labor: PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14
or another applicable exemption; or (C) our purchase and holding of this
security, or any interest therein, are not prohibited by Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code with respect to such purchase and holding.

          6. We acknowledge that the Company, the Guarantor and others will rely
upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations,
warranties and agreements and agree that if any of the acknowledgments,
representations, warranties and agreements deemed to have been made by our
purchase of the Offered Securities are no longer accurate, we shall promptly
notify the Company. If we are acquiring any Offered Securities as a fiduciary or
agent for one or more investor accounts, we represent that we have sole
discretion with respect to each such investor account and that we have full
power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreement on
behalf of each such investor account.

CAPITAL GROWTH FINANCIAL, LLC

FORM OF

REPRESENTATIVE’S OPTION AGREEMENT FOR UNITS

Dated as of __________________, 2006

 

     REPRESENTATIVE’S OPTION AGREEMENT FOR UNITS dated as of _______________, 2006 among NGTV, a
California corporation (the “Company”) and CAPITAL GROWTH FINANCIAL, LLC, the representative of the
underwriters, a Florida limited liability company (hereinafter referred to variously as the
“Holder”, “Underwriter” or “Representative”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Representative has agreed pursuant to the underwriting agreement (the
“Underwriting Agreement”) between the Representative, on behalf of the several underwriters, the
Company and the Selling Security Holders named therein, to underwrite, on a firm commitment basis,
the Company’s proposed public offering (“Public Offering”) of up to [5,997,174] units (exclusive of
[899,576] over allotment units) (“Public Units”) at a public offering price of [$6.00] per Public
Unit, each Public Unit consisting of one (1) share of the Company’s common stock no par value per
share (“Common Stock”) and one (1) Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase one-half of
one share of Common Stock (“ Public Warrant”); and

     WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue to the Representative options (“Representative’s Unit
Purchase Options”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 416,667 Units [10% of the Public Units sold in
the Offering excluding Public Units being sold by the Selling Security Holders and Public Units
issuable in the event the over-allotment option is exercised] (the “Representative Units”) of the
Company at a purchase price of $.001 per Representative’s Unit Purchase Option, exercisable at
[120%] of the public offering price of the Public Units; and

     WHEREAS, the Representative Units shall be identical to the Public Units and each
Representative Unit shall consist of (i) one share (“Representative Share”) of Common Stock of the
Company (“Common Stock”) and (ii) one Warrant (“Representative Warrant”); and

     WHEREAS, the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options to be issued pursuant to this Agreement
will be issued by the Company on the Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Underwriting
Agreement) in consideration for, and as part of the compensation in connection with the Public
Offering;

 

 

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the payment by the Representative to the
Company of an aggregate of Four Hundred Seventeen Dollars ($417.00 or $0.001 per Representative
Unit), the agreements herein set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Grant. The Holder is hereby granted the right to purchase, at any time from
____________2007 [one year from the Effective Date] until 5:00 P.M., Pacific Time, on ____________,
2011, up to an aggregate of [416,667] Representative Units at an initial exercise price per
Representative Unit (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8 hereof) of [120%] of the Public
Offering Price (the “Exercise Price”).

     2. Representative’s Unit Purchase Option Certificates. The Representative’s option
certificates (the “Representative’s Unit Purchase Option Certificates”) delivered and to be
delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto
and made a part hereof, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, and other
variations as required or permitted by this Agreement.

     3. Exercise of Representative’s Unit Purchase Options.

     3.1 General. The Representative’s Unit Purchase Options initially are exercisable at
the exercise price (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8 hereof) per
Representative Unit, as set forth in Section 6 hereof, payable by (i) certified or official
bank check in New York Clearing House funds, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8
hereof; or (ii) through a cashless exercise.

     3.2 Cashless Exercise. In lieu of the payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the
number of Representative Units for which the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options are
exercisable in the manner required hereby, the Holder shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to convert any exercisable but unexercised portion of the Representative’s Unit
Purchase Options into Representative Units (“Conversion Right”) as follows: upon exercise
of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the
Holder of any of the Exercise Price in cash) that number of Representative Units (or,
following separation of the Public Units, that number of Representative Shares and
Representative Warrants comprising that number of Representative Units) equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) the “Value” (as defined below) of the portion of the
Representative’s Unit Purchase Options being converted by (y) the Current Market Value (as
defined below). The “Value” of the portion of the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options
being converted shall equal the remainder derived from subtracting (a) (i) the Exercise
Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Representative Units underlying the portion of the
Representative’s Unit Purchase Options being converted from (b) the Current Market Value of
a Public Unit multiplied by the number of Representative Units underlying the portion of the
Representative’s Unit Purchase Options being converted. As used herein, the term “Current
Market Value” per Public Unit at any date means: (A) in the event that neither the Public
Units nor Public Warrants are still trading, the remainder derived from

2

 

subtracting (x) the exercise price of the Representative Warrants multiplied by the
number of Representative Shares issuable upon exercise of the Representative Warrants
underlying one Representative Unit from (y)(i) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock
multiplied by (ii) the number of Representative Shares underlying one Representative Unit,
which shall include the shares of Common Stock underlying the Representative Warrants; (B)
in the event that the Public Units, Common Stock and Public Warrants are still trading, (i)
if the Public Units are listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq
National Market, Nasdaq Capital Market or NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or successor exchange),
the last sale price of the Public Units in the principal trading market for the Public Units
as reported by the exchange, Nasdaq or the NASD, as the case may be, on the last trading day
preceding the date in question; or (ii) if the Public Units are not listed on a national
securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq Capital Market or the
NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or successor exchange), but are traded in the residual
over-the-counter market, the closing bid price for Public Units on the last trading day
preceding the date in question for which such quotations are reported by the Pink Sheets,
LLC or similar publisher of such quotations; and (C) in the event that the Public Units are
not still trading but the Common Stock and Public Warrants underlying the Public Units are
still trading, the Current Market Price of the Common Stock plus the product of (x) the
Current Market Price of the Public Warrants and (y) the number of Representative Shares
underlying the Representative Warrants included in one Representative Unit. The
“Current Market Price” shall mean (i) if the Common Stock (or Public Warrants, as
the case may be) is listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq
National Market, Nasdaq Capital Market or NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or successor exchange),
the last sale price of the Common Stock (or Public Warrants) in the principal trading market
for the Common Stock as reported by the exchange, Nasdaq or the NASD, as the case may be, on
the last trading day preceding the date in question; (ii) if the Common Stock (or Public
Warrants, as the case may be) is not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on
the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq Capital Market or the NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or
successor exchange), but is traded in the residual over-the-counter market, the closing bid
price for the Common Stock (or Public Warrants) on the last trading day preceding the date
in question for which such quotations are reported by the Pink Sheets, LLC or similar
publisher of such quotations; and (iii) if the fair market value of the Common Stock cannot
be determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, such price as the Board of Directors of
the Company shall determine, in good faith. In the event the Public Warrants have expired
(or are redeemed) and are no longer exercisable, no “Value” shall be attributed to the
Representative Warrants underlying the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options.
Additionally, in the event that the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options are exercised
pursuant to this Section and the Public Warrants are still trading, the “Value” shall be
reduced by the difference between the Representative Warrant Exercise Price and the exercise
price of the Public Warrants multiplied by the number of Representative Warrants underlying
the portion of the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options being converted.

     3.3 Limitation. A Holder may only elect a Cashless Exercise if the class of securities
issuable by the Company on such exercise is publicly traded.

3

 

     3.4 Mechanics of Exercise. Upon surrender at the Company’s principal offices in
California (presently located at 9944 Santa Monica Blvd., Beverly Hills, California 90012),
of Representative’s Unit Purchase Options with the appropriate portion of the annexed Form
of Election to Purchase duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price for the
Representative Units purchased (except to the extent of a Cashless Exercise), the registered
holder of a Representative’s Unit Purchase Option (“Holder” or “Holders”) shall be entitled
to receive a certificate or certificates for the Representative Units so purchased. The
Representative Units shall be identical to the Public Units. The purchase rights represented
by each Representative’s Unit Purchase Option are exercisable at the option of the Holder
thereof, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares of Common Stock underlying the
Representative Units). In the case of the purchase of less than all the Representative Units
purchasable under any Representative’s Unit Purchase Option Certificate, the Company shall
cancel the Representative’s Unit Purchase Option Certificate upon the surrender thereof, and
shall execute and deliver a new Representative’s Unit Purchase Option Certificate of like
tenor for the balance of the Representative Units purchasable thereunder.

     4. Issuance of Certificates. Upon the exercise of Representative’s Unit Purchase Options, the
issuance of certificates for the Representative Units, Representative Warrants and Representative
Shares or other securities, properties or rights underlying such Representative’s Unit Purchase
Option, shall be made forthwith (and in any event within five (5) business days thereafter) without
charge to the Holder thereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect
of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 7
hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder thereof;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificates in a name
other than that of the Representative and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver
such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have
paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid.

     The Representative’s Unit Purchase Options and the certificates representing the
Representative Units, Representative Warrants and Representative Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options, as well as the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Representative Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
the manual or facsimile signature of the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or any
President or Vice President of the Company under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, attested to
by the manual or facsimile signature of the then present Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the
Company. The Representative’s Unit Purchase Options shall be dated the date of the execution by the
Company upon initial issuance, division, exchange, substitution or transfer. The certificates
representing the Representative Units, Representative Warrants, Representative Shares and Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options shall be identical in
form and substance to those issued and sold to the public in connection with the Public Offering,
including the terms of redemption for the Public Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at
the time of exercise of a Representative’s Unit Purchase Option, the Representative Units into
which the Representative’s

4

 

Unit Purchase Option are exercisable have been separated and no longer trade as Public Units,
then, upon exercise of the Representative’s Unit Purchase Option, and in lieu of Representative’s
Units, the Company shall issue to the registered Holder, in the manner provided in the first
paragraph of this Section 4:

     (i) such number of Representative Shares as would have been included in each of the
Representative Units had Representative Units been issued upon exercise of the Representative’s
Unit Purchase Option by such Holder, registered in such name(s) as may be designated by the Holder
not inconsistent with Section 5 hereof; and

     (ii) such number of Representative Warrants as would have been included in the
Representative’s Units had Representative Units been issued upon exercise of the Representative’s
Unit Purchase Option by such Holder, registered in such name(s) as may be designated by the Holder
not inconsistent with Section 5 hereof.

     5. Restriction On Transfer of Representative’s Unit Purchase Option. Neither the
Representative’s Unit Purchase Options nor the securities of NGTV issuable thereunder may be sold
during the Offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of
any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective
economic disposition of the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options or the NGTV securities issuable
thereunder by any person during the 180 days immediately following the effective date of the
Registration Statement or the commencement of the Offering, whichever is later, except transfers to
any NASD member participating in the Offering or its officers or partners, or except as otherwise
specifically permitted by NASD Conduct Rule 2710(g)(2).

     6. Exercise Price.

     6.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8
hereof, the initial exercise price of each Representative’s Unit Purchase Option shall be
[$7.20] (120% of Unit Offering Price) per Unit. The exercise price shall be adjusted from
time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof.

     6.2 Exercise Price. The term “Exercise Price” herein shall mean the initial exercise
price or the adjusted exercise price, as the context may require.

     7. Registration Rights.

     7.1 Demand Registration Under the Securities Act of 1933. At any time commencing
after ____________, 2007 [one (1) year from the Effective Date] through and including
____________, 2011 [five (5) years from the Effective Date], the Holders of at least 51%
of the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options and/or the underlying Representative Units
and/or the underlying securities (a “Majority of Holders”), shall have the right (which
right is in addition to the registration rights under Section 7.2 hereof), exercisable by
written notice to the Company, to have the Company prepare and file with the Commission, on
one occasion, a registration statement and such other documents, including a prospectus, as
may be necessary in order to comply with the

5

 

provisions of the Act, so as to permit a public offering and sale of their respective
Representative Units, Representative Warrants, Representative Shares and Warrant Shares
during a period equal to the longer of: (i) nine (9) months or (ii) the unexpired term of
the Representative Warrants by such Holders and any other Holders of Representative’s Unit
Purchase Options, Representative Units, Representative Shares, Representative Warrants and
Warrant Shares who shall notify the Company within ten (10) days after receiving notice from
the Company of such request.

     7.2 Piggyback Registration. If, at any time commencing after ____________, 2006,
through and including ____________, 2011 [five (5) years from the Effective Date], the
Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Act (other than in connection
with a merger or pursuant to Form S-8 or similar form) it will give written notice by
registered or certified mail, at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of each such
registration statement, to the Representative and to all other Holders of Representative’s
Unit Purchase Options, Representative Units, Representative Warrants, Representative Shares
and Warrant Shares underlying the Representative Units, of its intention to do so. If any of
the Representatives or other Holders of Representative’s Unit Purchase Options,
Representative Units, Representative Warrants, Representative Shares or Warrant Shares
underlying the Representative Units, notify the Company within twenty (20) days after
receipt of any such notice of its or their desire to include any of the Representative
Units, Representative Warrants, Representative Shares and/or Warrant Shares beneficially
owned by them in such proposed registration statement, the Company shall afford each of the
Representative and each such Holder, the opportunity to have any of their Representative
Units, Representative Warrants, Representative Shares and/or Warrant Shares registered under
such registration statement.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.2, the Company shall have the right at
any time after it shall have given written notice pursuant to this Section 7.2 (irrespective
of whether a written request for inclusion of any such securities shall have been made) to
elect not to file any such proposed registration statement, or to withdraw the same after
the filing but prior to the Effective Date thereof.

     7.3 Notice of Registration. The Company covenants and agrees to give written notice
of any registration request under Section 7.1 by any Holder or Holders to all other
registered Holders of the Representative’s Unit Purchase Option, Representative Units,
Representative Shares, Representative Warrants and Warrant Shares underlying the
Representative Units within ten (10) days from the date of the receipt of any such
registration request.

     7.4 Covenants of the Company With Respect to Registration. In connection with any
registration under Section 7.1 or 7.2 hereof, the Company covenants and agrees as follows:

     (a) The Company shall use its best efforts to file a registration statement
within sixty (60) days of receipt of any demand therefor in accordance with Section
7.1, shall use its best efforts to have any registration statement

6

 

declared effective at the earliest possible time, and shall furnish each Holder
whose securities are included in such registration statement such number of
prospectuses as shall reasonably be requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of any registration
statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant to this Section
7.4(a) if (i) the Company is under contract or other binding legal obligation for a
material acquisition, reorganization or divestiture, or (ii) the Company is publicly
committed to a self-tender or exchange offer and the filing of a registration
statement would cause a violation of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. In the event of such postponement, the Company shall be required to file
the registration statement pursuant to this Section 7.4(a) upon the earlier of (i)
the consummation or termination, as applicable, of the event requiring such
postponement or (ii) 90 days after the receipt of the initial demand for such
registration.

     (b) The Company shall pay all costs (excluding fees and expenses of Holder(s)
counsel and any underwriting or selling commissions), fees and expenses in
connection with all registration statements filed pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2
hereof including, without limitation, the Company’s legal and accounting fees,
printing expenses, and blue sky fees and expenses. If the Company shall fail to
comply with the provisions of Section 7.4(a), the Company shall, in addition to any
other equitable or other relief available to the Holder(s), be liable for any or all
incidental, special and consequential damages and damages due to loss of profit
sustained by the Holder(s) requesting registration of their Representative Units,
Representative Shares, Representative Warrants and Warrant Shares underlying the
Representative Units.

     (c) The Company will take all necessary action which may be required in
qualifying or registering the Representative Shares, Representative Warrants and
Warrant Shares underlying the Representative Units included in a registration
statement for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states
as reasonably are requested by the Holder(s), provided that the Company shall not be
obligated to execute or file any general consent to service of process or to qualify
as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such jurisdiction.

     (d) The Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of Representative’s Unit Purchase
Options, Representative Units, Representative Shares and Representative Warrants to
be sold pursuant to any registration statement and each person, if any, who controls
such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), against all loss,
claim, damage, expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any of
them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from
such registration statement but only to the same extent and with the same effect as
the provisions pursuant to which

7

 

the Company has agreed to indemnify the Representative contained in Section 7
of the Underwriting Agreement.

     (e) The Holder(s) of Representative’s Unit Purchase Options, Representative
Units, Representative Shares, Representative Warrants and Warrant Shares underlying
the Representative Units to be sold pursuant to a registration statement, and their
successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its
officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all
loss, claim, damage or expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to
which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising
from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors or
assigns, for specific inclusion in such registration statement to the same extent
and with the same effect as the provisions contained in Section 7 of the
Underwriting Agreement pursuant to which the Representative has agreed to indemnify
the Company.

     (f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the
Holder(s) to exercise their Representative’s Unit Purchase Options or their Unit
Warrants prior to the initial filing of any registration statement or the
effectiveness thereof.

     (g) If the Representative Units, Representative Shares, Representative Warrants
and Warrant Shares underlying the Representative Units are to be sold in an
underwritten public offering, the Company shall use its best efforts to furnish to
each Holder participating in the offering and to each such underwriter, a signed
counterpart, addressed to such underwriter, of (i) an opinion of counsel to the
Company dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, and (ii) a
“cold comfort” letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement
signed by the independent public accountants who have issued a report on the
Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case
covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement
(and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants’ letter,
with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are
customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters
delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities.

     (h) The Company shall as soon as practicable after the Effective Date of the
registration statement, and in any event within 15 months thereafter, have made
“generally available to its security holders” (within the meaning of Rule 158 under
the Act) an earnings statement (which need not be audited) complying with Section
11(a) of the Act and covering a period of at least 12 consecutive months beginning
after the Effective Date of the registration statement.

8

 

     (i) The Company shall deliver promptly to each Holder participating in the
offering requesting the correspondence and memoranda described below, and the
managing underwriters, copies of all correspondence between the Commission and the
Company, its counsel or auditors and all Company memoranda (excluding memoranda to
and from counsel) relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with
respect to the registration statement and permit each Holder and underwriter to do
such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information
contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably
necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”). Such investigation shall include
access to books, records and properties and opportunities to discuss the business of
the Company with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable
extent and at such reasonable times and as often as any such Holder shall reasonably
request.

     (j) The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with the managing
underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting, if any, which underwriter shall be
subject to approval by a Majority of Holders requesting to be included in such
underwriting. Such underwriting agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the Company, each Holder and such managing underwriters, and shall
contain such representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and such other
terms as are customarily contained in agreements of that type used by the managing
underwriter(s).

     The Holders shall be parties to any underwriting agreement relating to an
underwritten sale of their Representative Units, Representative Shares,
Representative Warrants and Warrant Shares underlying the Representative’s Units and
may, at their option, require that any or all the representations, warranties and
covenants of the Company to or for the benefit of such underwriter(s) shall also be
made to and for the benefit of such Holders. Such Holders shall not be required to
make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the
underwriter(s) except as they may relate to such Holders, their intended methods of
distribution, and except for matters related to disclosures with respect to such
Holders, contained or required to be contained, in such registration statement under
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

     (k) For purposes of this Agreement, computation of a “Majority of Holders”
shall exclude Representative’s Unit Purchase Options, Representative Units,
Representative Shares and Representative Warrants, that are, at the time of
computation, then subject to a current registration statement or have been resold to
the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act or a registration statement filed with
the Commission under the Act.

     8. Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise Price and number of
securities issuable with respect to the Representative Warrants shall be adjusted on the

9

 

same terms and conditions, and at the same time, as any adjustments in the Exercise Price and
number of shares issuable with respect to the Public Warrants required by the terms of the Public
Warrants.

     9. Exchange and Replacement of Representative’s Unit Purchase Option. Each Representative’s
Unit Purchase Option Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender thereof by the
registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new Representative’s Unit
Purchase Option Certificate of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase the same number of Representative Units as provided in the original Representative’s Unit
Purchase Options in such denominations as shall be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of
such surrender.

     Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any Representative’s Unit Purchase Option Certificate, and, in case of
loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and
reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and
cancellation of the Representative’s Unit Purchase Option Certificate, if mutilated, the Company
will make and deliver a new Representative’s Unit Purchase Option Certificate of like tenor, in
lieu thereof.

     10. Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue
certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the
Representative’s Unit Purchase Options, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu
of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be
eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock or
other securities, properties or rights.

     11. Reservation and Listing of Securities. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the
exercise of the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options, such number of shares of Common Stock or
other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company
covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options and/or the
Representative Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all Representative Units,
Representative Warrants, Representative Shares, Representative Warrants or Warrant Shares shall be
duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any
stockholder. As long as the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options and/or Representative Units
shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Representative Units,
Representative Shares, Representative Warrants and Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the
Representative’s Unit Purchase Options and Representative Units to be listed (subject to official
notice of issuance) on all securities exchanges on which the Common Stock issued to the public in
connection herewith may then be listed and/or quoted on the American Stock Exchange.

     12. Notices to Representative’s Option Holders. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a
stockholder in respect of any meetings of stockholders for the election of directors or

10

 

any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. If,
however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Representative’s Unit Purchase Options or
Representative Warrants and their exercise, any of the following events shall occur:

     (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of Common Stock for
the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than
in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of current or
retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution
on the books of the Company; or

     (b) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe
therefor; or

     (c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection
with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of its property assets
and business as an entirety shall be proposed;

then, in any one or more of such events the Company shall give written notice of such event
at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing
the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend,
distribution, convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, or entitled to
vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall
specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be.
Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any
action taken in connection with the declaration or payment of any such dividend, or the
issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities, or subscription rights, options or
