            (d) Authorization; Binding Obligations. All corporate action on the
part of the Company and its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for
the authorization of this Agreement, the performance of all obligations of the
Company hereunder at the Closing and the authorization, issuance and delivery of
the Shares pursuant hereto has been taken. This Agreement, when executed and
delivered, will be a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by (i) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights and (ii) general
principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.

            (e) Outstanding Shares; Shares. All outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Company are, and the Shares when delivered to the Investors in
compliance with this Agreement will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable, free of any liens and not subject to preemptive rights
created by statute, the Restated Articles of Incorporation or Restated Bylaws of
the Company or any agreement or document to which the Company is a party or by
which it is bound; provided, however, that the Shares may be subject to
restrictions on Transfer under state and/or federal securities laws as set forth
herein or as otherwise required by such laws at the time a Transfer is proposed.

            (f) Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Company of this Agreement require no action by or in respect
of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official of the United
States or the state of Washington, other than compliance with any applicable
requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or other applicable U.S. state
securities laws.

            (g) SEC Filings. The Company has filed all forms, reports and
documents required to be filed by it with the SEC and has made available to each
Investor (including via EDGAR) the SEC Documents. As of their respective filing
dates, the SEC Documents (i) were prepared in accordance in all material
respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, as the case may
be, and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) did not at the time they were
filed contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, and (iii) did not at the time they were filed omit any documents
required to be filed as exhibits thereto.

            (h) Financial Statements. The audited consolidated financial
statements and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and its results of
operations and changes in financial position for the periods then ended in
conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis (subject to normal year-end
adjustments in the case of the unaudited interim financial statements and, with
respect to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the absence
of footnotes required to be included in the audited consolidated financial
statements by GAAP).

            (i) Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2004, to the
Company's knowledge, there has not been any change that, by itself or in
conjunction with all

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
other such changes, has had or reasonably would be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, except as disclosed in the SEC Documents to the date of this
Agreement.

            (j) Title to Properties and Assets; Liens, Etc. The Company and each
of its subsidiaries has good and marketable title to its properties and assets
and good title to its leasehold estates, in each case subject to no liens or
encumbrances, other than (i) those resulting from taxes that have not yet become
delinquent, (ii) minor liens that do not materially detract from the value of
the property subject thereto or materially impair the operations of the Company,
and (iii) those that have otherwise arisen in the ordinary course of business.

            (k) Compliance With Other Instruments. The Company is not in
violation or default of any term of its Restated Articles of Incorporation or
Restated Bylaws, or any provision of any mortgage, indenture, contract,
agreement, instrument or contract to which it is party or by which it is bound
or of any judgment, decree, order, writ or any statute, rule or regulation
applicable to the Company, except for such violations or defaults as would not
have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance of and
compliance with this Agreement and the issuance of the Shares pursuant hereto
will not result in any such material violation, or be in conflict with or
constitute a material default under any such term, or result in the creation of
any lien or encumbrance on any of the properties or assets of the Company or the
suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material
permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its
business or operations or any of its assets or properties. There is no such
violation or default or event that, with the passage of time or giving of notice
or both, would constitute a violation or default that would have a Material
Adverse Effect.

            (l) Litigation. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, there is
no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company's
knowledge, currently threatened in writing against the Company that questions
the validity of this Agreement or the right of the Company to enter into this
Agreement, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, or that might
result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.
Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company is not a party or subject
to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any
court or government agency or instrumentality.

            (m) Intellectual Property. The Company knows of no adverse claim
that would interfere with its right to use and, to the Company's knowledge, the
Company has sufficient title and ownership of or rights to use all trademarks,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, inventions, trade secrets, licenses,
information and other intellectual property rights necessary to conduct its
business without any violation or infringement of any such intellectual property
rights of others. The Company has not received any communications alleging that
the Company has violated any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade
names, copyrights or trade secrets or other intellectual property rights of any
other Person, except for any allegations as would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company's knowledge, all data,
information, ideas, concepts, know-how and materials that the Company treats as
trade secrets, and all other confidential information and intellectual property
rights of the Company, are not part of the public domain or knowledge, nor, to
its knowledge, have they been used,

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
divulged or appropriated for the benefit of any Person other than the Company or
otherwise to the detriment of the Company.

            (n) Compliance With Laws. The Company is in compliance with all
federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, decrees
and orders applicable to it, to its employees or to its real and personal
property, including, without limitation, all such laws, rules, regulations,
ordinances, decrees and orders relating to intellectual property protection,
antitrust matters, consumer protection, currency exchange, environmental
protection, equal employment opportunity, health and occupational safety,
pension and employee benefit matters, securities and investor protection

where the failure of the Company to so comply would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company has not received any notification of any asserted present or
past unremedied failure by the Company to comply with any of such laws, rules,
regulations, ordinances, decrees or orders.

            (o) Brokerage and Finders' Fees. The Company has not incurred, nor
will it incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage or finders'
fees or agents' commissions or investment bankers' fees or any similar charges
in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this

losses or expenses resulting from this Agreement or any transaction contemplated
herein.

            (c) Investment Representations. Such Investor understands that the
Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act. Such Investor also
understands that the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption
from registration contained in the 1933 Act based in part on such Investor's
representations contained in this Agreement. In this regard, such Investor
hereby represents and warrants as follows:

                  (i) Economic Risk of Investment. Such Investor has substantial
experience in evaluating private placement transactions of securities in
companies similar to the

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its
investment in the Company. Such Investor must bear the economic risk of this
investment indefinitely unless the Shares are registered pursuant to the 1933
Act, or an exemption from registration is available. Such Investor understands
that the Company has no present intention, or obligation, to register the
Shares. Such Investor also understands that there is no assurance that any
exemption from registration under the 1933 Act will be available and that, even
if available, such exemption may not allow such Investor to Transfer all or any
portion of the Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times
such Investor might propose.

                  (ii) Acquisition for Own Account. Such Investor is acquiring
the Shares for such Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof
within the meaning of the 1933 Act. Such Investor has no present intention of
Transferring the Shares. Such Investor further represents that such Investor
does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with
any Person to Transfer or grant participation to such Person with respect to any
of the Shares.

                  (iii) Accredited Investor. Such Investor represents that such
Investor is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D under
the 1933 Act.

                  (iv) Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that (A)
the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the 1933 Act, (B)
the Shares are "restricted securities" under applicable U.S. federal and state
securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Investor may not transfer
the Shares unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state
authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification
requirements is available, and (C) the Company has no obligation to register or
qualify the Shares for resale.

                  (v) 1934 Act Filings. Such Investor agrees and acknowledges
that such Investor shall have sole responsibility for making any filings that
may be required with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 and 16 of the 1934 Act as a
result of such Investor's acquisition of the Shares and any future retention or
transfer thereof.

                  (vi) Rule 144. Such Investor is aware of the provisions of
Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act that permit limited resale of securities
purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for
the securities, the availability of certain public information about the
Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased
and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a
"broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a "market maker" and the
number of securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding
specified limitations.

                  (vii) Access to Information. Such Investor is aware of the
Company's business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient
information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to
acquire the Shares. Such Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the
Company's business, management and financial affairs with its management and an
opportunity to review the Company's facilities and financial data.

                                       -7-
<PAGE>
Such Investor has also had an opportunity to ask questions of officers of the
Company, which questions were answered to such Investor's satisfaction. Such
Investor understands that such discussions, as well as any written information
issued by the Company, were intended to describe certain aspects of the
Company's business and prospects but were not a thorough or exhaustive
description, and that no representation or warranty as to the Company's past,
present or future business or operations was intended thereby.

                  (viii) Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way
limiting the representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees not
to make any Transfer of all or any portion of the Shares unless and until:

                        (A) there is then in effect a registration statement
under the 1933 Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is
made in accordance with such registration statement; or

                        (B) (1) such Investor shall have notified the Company of
the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition and (2) if
requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition
will not require registration of such shares under the 1933 Act. It is agreed
that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made
pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.

                  (ix) Broker's Fees. Such Investor has not incurred, nor will
such Investor incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage or
finders' fees or agents' commission or any similar charges in connection with
this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement that would
result in a claim against the Company. Such Investor agrees to indemnify the
Company for any such claims, losses or expenses resulting from this Agreement or
any transaction contemplated hereby.

                  (x) Investor Counsel. Such Investor acknowledges that such
Investor has had an opportunity to review this Agreement and the schedule
attached hereto and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with such
Investor's own legal counsel. Such Investor is relying solely on such Investor's
legal counsel and not on the Company or any of the Company's agents, including
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, for legal advice with respect to this
investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (xi) Residency. Such Investor is a resident of the U.S. state
set forth in Schedule A to this Agreement.

                  (xii) No Intent to Effect a Change of Control. Such Investor

meaning of Rule 13d of the 1934 Act. Such Investor does not, prior to the
Closing, beneficially own (as defined in the 1934 Act) more than 10% of the
outstanding voting stock of the Company and will not, after giving effect to the
Closing, beneficially own (as defined in the 1934 Act) more than 15% of the

SECTION 2.01. FORM AND DATING

      (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee's certificate of authentication
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto; provided that only
Global Notes shall have the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global
Note" attached thereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements
required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. The Company, the Guarantors and
the Trustee shall approve the forms of the Notes and any notation, legend or
endorsement on them.

      Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

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

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

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

            (b) Global Notes. Each Global Note shall be deposited with the Note
Custodian and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the
Depositary and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from
time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and
redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any
increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes
represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee, the Depositary or the Note
Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions
given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.07 hereof. The Company
initially appoints The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to act as Depositary
with respect to the Global Notes. The Trustee shall act as Note Custodian with
respect to the Global Notes in accordance with its agreement with DTC.

            Notes initially offered and sold to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A
shall be issued in the form of one or more Rule 144A Global Notes.

            Notes initially offered and sold outside the United States in
reliance on Regulation S shall be issued in the form of one or more Regulation S
Temporary Global Notes, which shall be deposited with the Note Custodian and
registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for
the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream.
The Distribution Compliance Period shall be terminated upon the receipt by the
Trustee of a written certificate from the Depositary, together with copies of
certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream certifying that they have received
certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent
of any beneficial owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during the
Distribution Compliance Period pursuant to another exemption from registration
under the Securities Act and who took delivery of a beneficial ownership
interest in a 144A Global Note, all as contemplated by Section 2.07(b)(iii)
hereof). Following the termination of the Distribution Compliance Period,
beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall be
exchanged for an equal amount of beneficial interests in the Regulation S
Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with
the authentication of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee shall
cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Note.

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

            (i) Private Placement Legend.

                  (A) Except as permitted by subparagraph (B) below, each Global
            Note and each Definitive Note (and all Notes issued in exchange
            therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear the legend in
            substantially the following form:

                  "THE NOTES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
            UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
            ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
            EXCEPT (A) (1) TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER `REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A
            QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER
            THE SECURITIES ACT PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT
            OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

            REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (2) IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION COMPLYING
            WITH RULE 903 OR RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT,
            (3) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES
            ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE), (4) IN
            ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
            OF THE SECURITIES ACT (BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF THE
            COMPANY SO REQUESTS) OR (5) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
            STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL
            APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED STATES."

                  (B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or
            Definitive Note issued in compliance with subparagraphs (b)(iv),
            (c)(iii), (c)(iv), (d)(ii), (d)(iii), (e)(ii), (e)(iii) or (f) of
            Section 2.07 (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or
            substitution thereof), and any Additional Notes issued pursuant to a
            registration statement that has been declared effective under the
            Securities Act, shall not bear the Private Placement Legend.

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

                  "UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR
            SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED
            EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY,
            OR BY ANY SUCH NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR
            NOMINEE OF A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY, OR ANY NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR
            DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. TRANSFERS OF
            THE GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN
            PART, TO NOMINEES OF CEDE & CO., OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH
            SUCCESSOR'S NOMINEE, AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THE GLOBAL NOTE
            SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
            RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE."

                  "UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
            REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK
            CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF
            TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS
            REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS
            REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT
            HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED
            BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR
            OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS
            WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN
            INTEREST HEREIN."

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

                  "THE RIGHTS ATTACHING TO THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL
            NOTE, AND THE CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING ITS EXCHANGE FOR
            CERTIFICATED NOTES, ARE AS SPECIFIED IN THE INDENTURE (AS DEFINED
            HEREIN). NEITHER THE HOLDER NOR THE

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

            BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE SHALL
            BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE PAYMENT OF INTEREST HEREON."

SECTION 2.02. DENOMINATIONS

            The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $1,000 aggregate
principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 2.03. EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION

            The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated
and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Trustee shall, upon a
written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company or by an
Officer and an Assistant Treasurer or an Assistant Secretary of the Company (an
"Authentication Order"), authenticate (i) on the Issue Date, the Initial Notes
in aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million, (ii) subject to the provisions
of Section 2.15, at any time and from time to time thereafter, Additional Notes
in an aggregate principal amount specified in such authentication order and
(iii) subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(f), Exchange Notes issued in
exchange for a like principal amount of Initial Notes or Additional Notes
tendered pursuant to an Exchange Offer. Such authentication order shall specify
(i) the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, (ii) the date on which the
Notes are to be authenticated, (iii) whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes,
Exchange Notes or Additional Notes and (iv) whether such Notes shall bear the
Global Note Legend, the Regulation S Temporary Global Note Legend and/or the
Private Placement Legend. Furthermore, Notes may be authenticated and delivered
upon registration or transfer, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section
2.07, 2.08, 2.11 or 9.05 or in connection with a Change of Control Offer
pursuant to Section 4.16.

            An Officer of the Company shall sign the Notes for the Company by
manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no
longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall
nevertheless be valid.

            A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the
Trustee manually authenticates the Note. The signature of the Trustee on a Note
shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly and validly
authenticated and issued under this Indenture.

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

SECTION 2.04. REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT

            The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The
Company shall cause each of the Registrar and the Paying Agent to maintain an
office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.
The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional
paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term
"Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent.

            The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with
any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall
incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions
of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company may change any

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify
the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this
Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Company initially
appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.05. PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST

            By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on
which any principal of, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on
any Notes is due and payable, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a
sum sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such amount when due. The
Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in
writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or
the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of,
premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall
notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such
payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account
for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon payment over to the Trustee,
the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no
further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying
Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of
the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or
reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as
Paying Agent for the Notes.

SECTION 2.06. HOLDER LISTS

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

SECTION 2.07. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

            (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be
transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary,
by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the
Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary
or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes shall be exchanged
by the Company for Definitive Notes if (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee
notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as
Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the
Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary, (ii)
the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole
but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written
notice to such effect to the Trustee; or (iii) there shall have occurred and be
continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes; provided
that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Note be exchanged by
the Company for Definitive Notes prior to (x) the expiration of the Distribution
Compliance Period and (y) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates
required pursuant to Rule 903(c)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act. Upon the
occurrence of any of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or (iii) above,
Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct
the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in
part, as provided in Sections 2.08, 2.11 and 9.05 hereof. Every Note
authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any
portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.07 or Section 2.08 or 2.11 or

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

9.05 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be,
a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as
provided in this Section 2.07(a); however, beneficial interests in a Global Note
may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.07(b), (c) or (f)
hereof.

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

            (i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.
      Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to
      Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
      the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer
      restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend and any Applicable
      Procedures; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the
      Distribution Compliance Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the
      Temporary Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for
      the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser
      or a "distributor" (as defined in Rule 902(d) of Regulation S)).
      Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to
      Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
      an Unrestricted Global Note. Except as may be required by Applicable
      Procedures, no written orders or instructions shall be required to be
      delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this
      Section 2.07(b)(i).

            (ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in
      Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial
      interests that are not subject to Section 2.07(b)(i) above, the transferor
      of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) a
      written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the
      Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the
      Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in
      another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be
      transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the
      Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant
      account to be credited with such increase or (B) if permitted under
      Section 2.07(a) hereof, (1) a written order from a Participant or an
      Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the
      Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a
      Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be
      transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the Depositary to
      the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name
      such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or
      exchange referred to in (B)(1) above; provided that in no event shall
      Definitive Notes be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial
      interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note prior to (x) the
      expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period and (y) the receipt by
      the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903 under the
      Securities Act. Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer by the Company in
      accordance with Section 2.07(f) hereof, the requirements of this Section
      2.07(b)(ii) shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon receipt by the
      Registrar of the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal
      delivered by the Holder of such beneficial interests in the Restricted
      Global Notes. Upon notification from the Registrar that all of the
      requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global
      Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable
      under the Securities Act have been satisfied, the Trustee shall adjust the
      principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section
      2.07(h) hereof.

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

            (iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note
      to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted
      Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in
      the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the
      transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.07(b)(ii) above and
      the Registrar and the Company receive the following:

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

                  (B) if the transferee shall take delivery in the form of a
            beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note or the
            Regulation S Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a
            certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the
            certifications in item (2) thereof.

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

                  (iv) Transfer or Exchange of Unrestricted Definitive Notes to
            Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Notes Prohibited. An
            Unrestricted Definitive Note may not be exchanged for, or
            transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of,
            beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note.

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

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

                                      -34-

requesting Holder shall provide any additional certifications, documents and
information, as applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of
this Section 2.07(e).

                  (i) Restricted Definitive Notes to Restricted Definitive
            Notes. Any Restricted Definitive Note may be transferred to and
            registered in the name of Persons who take delivery thereof in the
            form of a Restricted Definitive Note if the Registrar receives the
            following:

                        (A) if the transfer shall be made pursuant to Rule 144A,
                  then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of
                  Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1)
                  thereof;

                        (B) if the transfer shall be made pursuant to Rule 903
                  or Rule 904, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in
                  the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in
                  item (2) thereof; and

                        (C) if the transfer shall be made pursuant to any other
                  exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
                  Act, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the
                  form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item
                  (3)(c) thereof.

                  (ii) Restricted Definitive Notes to Unrestricted Definitive
            Notes. Any Restricted Definitive Note may be exchanged by the Holder
            thereof for an Unrestricted Definitive Note or transferred to a
            Person or Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of an
            Unrestricted Definitive Note only if:

                        (A) such exchange or transfer is effected pursuant to an
                  Exchange Offer in accordance with the Registration Rights
                  Agreement and the Holder, in the case of an exchange, or the
                  transferee, in the case of a transfer, makes any and all
                  certifications in the applicable Letter of Transmittal;

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

                        (C) any such transfer is effected by a Participating
                  Broker-Dealer pursuant to the Exchange Offer Registration
                  Statement in accordance with the Registration Rights
                  Agreement; or

                        (D) the Registrar and the Company receive the following:

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

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

                  and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (D), an
                  Opinion of Counsel

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

                  in form reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect
                  that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the
                  Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained
                  herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer
                  required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities
                  Act.

            Upon satisfaction of the conditions of any of the clauses of Section
2.07(e)(ii), the Trustee shall cancel the prior Restricted Definitive Note and
the Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in
accordance with Section 2.03 hereof or in accordance with a previously delivered
Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person
designated in the instructions an Unrestricted Definitive Note in the
appropriate principal amount.

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

            (f) Exchange Offer. Upon the occurrence of an Exchange Offer in
accordance with a Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall issue and,
upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.03, the
Trustee shall authenticate (i) one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an
aggregate principal amount at maturity equal to the principal amount at maturity
of the beneficial interests in the applicable Restricted Global Notes tendered
for acceptance by Persons that make any and all certifications in the applicable
Letter of Transmittal or are deemed to have made such certifications if delivery
is made through the Applicable Procedures as may be required by such
Registration Rights Agreement and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer
and (ii) Unrestricted Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount at
maturity equal to the principal amount at maturity of the Restricted Definitive
Notes tendered for acceptance by Persons who made the foregoing certifications
and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer. Concurrently with the issuance
of such Notes, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount at
maturity of the applicable Restricted Global Notes to be reduced accordingly,
and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
the Persons designated by the Holders of Restricted Definitive Notes so accepted
Unrestricted Definitive Notes in the appropriate principal amount.

            (g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes.

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

            (h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

                  (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the

            Notes and Definitive Notes upon the Company's order.

                  (ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a
            beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive
            Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company
            may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
            similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other
            than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable
            upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.06, 4.10,
            4.15 and 9.05 hereof).

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

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

                  (v) The Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, to
            register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period
            beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any
            selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and
            ending at the close of business on the day of selection or (B) to
            register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for
            redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
            Note being redeemed in part.

                  (vi) The Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat
            the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute
            owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal
            of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none
            of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice
            to the contrary.

                  (vii) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and
            Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03
            hereof.

                  (viii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of
            Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
            Section 2.07 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be
            submitted by facsimile.

                  (ix) The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to enter
            into a letter of representations with the Depositary in the form
            provided by the Company and to act in accordance with such letter.

                  (x) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional
            requirements contained in this Article, when a Note is presented to
            the Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to
            exchange such Note for an equal principal amount of Notes of other
            authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer
            or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that every
            Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
            exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form
            and, if applicable, a transfer certificate, each in the form
            included in

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

            Exhibit A attached hereto and in form satisfactory to the Registrar
            and each duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly
            authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and
            exchanges, upon surrender of any Note for registration of transfer
            or exchange at an office or agency maintained for such purpose
            pursuant to Section 2.04, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
            shall authenticate, Notes of a like aggregate principal amount at
            maturity at the Registrar's request.

                  (xi) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.04 shall
            provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may
            reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar
            of Notes upon transfer or exchange of Notes.

                  (xii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
            determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on
            transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with
            respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any
            transfers between or among Participants or other beneficial owners
            of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of
            such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are
            expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required
            by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to
            determine substantial compliance as to form with the express
            requirements hereof.

                  (xiii) None of the Company, the Trustee or any Paying Agent
            shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
            records relating to, or payments made on account of or transfers of,
            beneficial ownership interests in a Global Note or for maintaining,
            supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
            ownership interests.

                  (xiv) None of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar shall
            have any liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary, for
            any Depositary records of beneficial interests, for any transaction
            between the Depositary or any Participant and/or beneficial owners,
            for any transfers of beneficial interests in the Notes, or in
            respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary or by any
            Participant or any beneficial owner of any interest in any Notes
            held through any such Participant.

SECTION 2.08. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN NOTES

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

            Every replacement Note issued in accordance with this Section 2.07
is an additional obligation of the Company and any other obligor upon the Notes
and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

            The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses
in replacing a Note. In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or
wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the
Company in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in
replacement thereof.

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

            The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

SECTION 2.09. OUTSTANDING NOTES

            The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by
the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the
Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this
Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, a Note
does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company holds the Note.

            If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to
be outstanding unless the Company and the Trustee receive proof satisfactory to
it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

            If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance
with this Indenture, by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on a redemption date or
other maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, premium and
Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest payable on that date with respect to
the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be,
then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be
outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.10. TREASURY NOTES

            In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount
of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the
Company or by any Affiliate of the Company shall be deemed not to be
outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only
Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned
shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 2.11. TEMPORARY NOTES

            In the event that Definitive Notes are to be issued under the terms
of this Indenture, until such Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the
Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes.
Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form, and shall carry all rights,
of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes. After the
preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for
Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency
maintained by the Company for that purpose and such exchange shall be without
charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Notes, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and make available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more Definitive
Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the
Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as a Holder of Definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.12. CANCELLATION

            The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Notes surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation in
accordance with customary practices (subject to the record retention requirement
of the Exchange Act) and, upon request, deliver a

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the
Trustee to deliver canceled Notes to the Company. The Company may not issue new
Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.13. DEFAULTED INTEREST

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

SECTION 2.14. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST

            Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 2.15. ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL NOTES

            The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with
Section 4.09, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have
identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date or the Exchange
Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price, first
payment of interest and rights under a related Registration Rights Agreement, if
any.

            With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in
a resolution of the Board of Directors and an Officer's Certificate, a copy of
each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

            (a) the aggregate principal amount at maturity of such Additional
      Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

            (b) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number and
      corresponding ISIN of such Additional Notes; and

            (c) whether such Additional Notes shall be Transfer Restricted
      Securities and issued in the form of Initial Notes as set forth in Exhibit
      A to this Indenture or shall be issued in the form of Exchange Notes as
      set forth in Exhibit A to this Indenture.

SECTION 2.16. ONE CLASS OF NOTES

            The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Notes and
all Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor shall be treated as a single
class for all purposes under this Indenture.

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

SECTION 2.17. CUSIP, ISIN OR OTHER SIMILAR NUMBERS

            The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP," "ISIN" or other
similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use
"CUSIP," "ISIN" or other similar numbers in notices of redemption or offers to
purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state
that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as
printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or offer to
purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification

                            REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

SECTION 3.01. NOTICES TO TRUSTEE

            If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee, at least 45 days but not more than 60 days (unless a shorter period is
acceptable to the Trustee) before a redemption date, an Officer's Certificate
setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption
shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be
redeemed and (iv) the redemption price (expressed as a percentage or principal
amount).

SECTION 3.02. SELECTION OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED

            If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an
offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed
or purchased among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements
of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are
listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in
accordance with any other method the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate;
provided that no Notes of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. In the event
of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be
selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not
previously called for redemption.

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

SECTION 3.03. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

            At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date,
the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of
redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered
address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to
a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the
Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as the Notes are held by a Depository, notices may be given
in accordance with the procedures in the Letter of Representations.

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

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

            (a) the redemption date;

            (b) the redemption price;

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

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

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

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

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

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

            At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; provided that the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption
date (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officer's
Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the
information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

SECTION 3.04. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

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

SECTION 3.05. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE

            Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date, the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient
to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if
any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. Subject to applicable abandoned
property laws, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly, upon request,
return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent
by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price
of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.

            If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding
paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on
the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed
on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest
payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person
in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record
date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for
redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption
date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not
paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes
and in Section 4.01 hereof.

SECTION 3.06. NOTES REDEEMED IN PART

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

SECTION 3.07. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the applicable redemption
date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 15 of the

name the Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no
Liquidated Damages or Liquidated Damages, if any, shall be payable to Holders
whose Notes shall be subject to redemption by the Company.

            (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of this Section
3.07, at any time prior to May 15, 2008, the Company may on any one or more
occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued
under this Indenture at a redemption price equal to 108.375% of the principal
amount thereof on the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, to the redemption date, with the Net Cash Proceeds
of one or more Public Equity Offerings by the Company; provided that (1) at

remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption
(excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries); and (2) that the
Company mails notice of redemption no later than 30 days after the closing of
such Public Equity Offering and consummates the redemption within 60 days of the
closing of such Public Equity Offering.

pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

the wire transfer instructions supplied to the Company or the Paying Agent by
such Holder on or prior to the applicable record date. All other payments on

SECTION 4.02. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY

            The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an
affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be
served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the

Trustee, 100 Wall Street, 16th Floor, New York, New York (the "New York
Corporate Trust Office").

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

            Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so
long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and
the Holders of Notes within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
regulations:

            (1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be
      filed with the SEC on Forms l0-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to
      file such reports; and

            (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the

            If at any time the Company is no longer subject to the periodic
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company shall
nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in this Section 4.03 with the
SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such
a filing. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the
Company's filings for any reason, the Company shall post the reports referred to

required by the preceding paragraphs shall include a reasonably detailed
presentation either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes

Results of Operations of the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial

with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, they shall
furnish to the Holders of Notes and to securities analysts and prospective

to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

            The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA
Section 314(a). Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the
Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of such
shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Company's
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely conclusively on Officer's Certificates). The Trustee shall have
no duty or responsibility to review such reports, information or documents.

discharged, before the same shall become delinquent all material taxes,
assessments, and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any

appropriate proceedings or where the failure to pay or discharge the same would
not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its
obligations under the Notes or this Indenture.

SECTION 4.06. STAY, EXTENSION AND USURY LAWS

            The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that

            Maturity thereof; or

                  (4) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and
            other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being
            collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"),

                  (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
            continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; and

                  (2) the Company would have been permitted at the time of such
            Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if
            such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the

            amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its
            Restricted Subsidiaries after the date hereof (excluding Restricted
            Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3) and (8) of paragraph (b)
            below of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum,
            without duplication, of:

                  for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the
                  beginning of the first fiscal quarter in which Notes are first
                  issued hereunder to the end of the Company's most recently
                  ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements
                  are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if
                  such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit,
                  less 100% of such deficit), plus

                        (B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by
                  the Company since the date hereof as a contribution to its

                  Settlement Offering) or from the issue or sale of convertible
                  or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or
                  exchangeable debt securities of the Company that have been
                  converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other
                  than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt
                  securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Company); plus

                        (C) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that
                  was made after the date hereof is sold for cash or otherwise
                  liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of (i) the cash
                  return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment
                  (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (ii) the initial

caused thereby, the preceding provisions shall not prohibit:

                  (1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date
            of declaration thereof, if at said date of declaration such payment
            would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;

                  (2) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or
            other acquisition of any subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or
            any Restricted Subsidiary or of any Equity Interests of the Company
            in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the
            substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the
            Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than
            Disqualified Stock); provided that the amount of any such net cash
            proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase,
            retirement, defeasance or other acquisition shall be excluded from
            clause (3) (B) above;

                  (3) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other
            acquisition of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any

            Restricted Subsidiaries') employees or directors pursuant to any
            equity compensation plan, subscription agreement or stock option
            agreement in effect as of the date on which Notes are first issued
            hereunder or under any other such plan or agreement approved by the

            price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired
            Equity Interests shall not exceed $3.0 million in any fiscal year
            (with any unused amounts in any fiscal year being available to be so

            The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the
Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or
securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.

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

            Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
            or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or

            restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,

                  (2) Existing Indebtedness as in effect on the date hereof and
            any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,

            provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements,
            renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement or
            refinancings are no more restrictive than those contained in such
            Existing Indebtedness as in effect on the date hereof;

                  (3) this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees;

            Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the
            Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of Indebtedness,
            such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be
            incurred;

                                      -49-

            contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, so long
            as such provisions restrict transfer only of the leasehold interest
            created thereby, or the property subject thereto, or other contract
            rights arising thereunder;

                  (7) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the

            so acquired of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding

            Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

                  (9) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the
            restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted
            Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive than those
            contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being
            refinanced;

                  (10) any instrument or agreements governing Indebtedness of
            Foreign Subsidiaries permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09,
            which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or

                  (11) any instrument or agreements governing Indebtedness
            permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09(b)(11) which encumbrance
            or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or
            assets of any Person, other than the Leasing Subsidiary obligated in
            respect of such Indebtedness;

                  (12) the Golden West Agreements; and

                  (13) Permitted Liens securing Indebtedness that limit the
            right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Lien.

SECTION 4.09. INCURRENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK

            (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue,
assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable,
contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any
Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company shall not issue any
Disqualified Stock and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to
issue any Preferred Stock; provided, however, that (A) the Company and any
Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified
Stock and (B) any Foreign Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired
Debt) so long as neither the Company nor any Guarantor (i) provides credit
support of any kind with respect thereto (including any undertaking, agreement
or instrument that would constitute Indebtedness), or (ii) is directly or
indirectly liable with respect thereto, as a guarantor or otherwise, or (iii)
constitutes the lender thereof, if, in the case of both clauses (A) and (B), (1)
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time
of, or would occur after giving pro forma effect to, the incurrence of such
Indebtedness or the issuance of such Disqualified Stock and (2) the Consolidated
Interest Coverage Ratio for the Company's most recently ended four full fiscal
quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately
preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such
Disqualified Stock is issued would have been at least 2.25 to 1, determined on a
pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of

                                      -50-
<PAGE>

the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred
at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

            (b) The provisions of paragraph (a) above shall not prohibit the
incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively,
"Permitted Debt"), so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of incurrence thereof or would be caused thereby:

                  (1) the incurrence by the Company or any Guarantor of
            Indebtedness under Credit Facilities (and the incurrence by the
            Company or any Guarantor of guarantees thereof) in an aggregate
            principal amount at any one time outstanding (with letters of credit
            being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum
            potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
            thereunder) not to exceed the greater of (i) $125.0 million or (ii)
            the Borrowing Base or (iii) 65.0% of the Leasing Assets of the
            Company and the Guarantors, valued at the net book value thereof
            determined in accordance with GAAP, that are subject to no Lien
            other than Liens described in clause (1) of the definition of the
            term "Permitted Liens", in any case less the aggregate amount of all
            Net Proceeds applied by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to
            repay any Indebtedness under Credit Facilities (and, in the case of
            any revolving credit Indebtedness under a Credit Facility, to effect
            a corresponding commitment reduction thereunder) pursuant to Section
            4.10.

                  (2) the incurrence by the Company and any Restricted
            Subsidiary of Existing Indebtedness;

                  (3) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of
            Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Subsidiary
            Guarantees to be issued on the date hereof and the exchange Notes
            and the related Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the
            registration rights agreement;

                  (4) the incurrence by the Company or any Guarantor of
            Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage
            financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for
            the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or
            cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment
            used in the business of the Company or such Guarantor, in an
            aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing
            Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any
            Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed
            $25.0 million at any time outstanding;

                  (5) the incurrence by the Company or any of the Guarantors of
            Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net
            proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace
            Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was
            permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under paragraph (a) above
            or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (9) or (12) of this paragraph (b);

                  (6) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
            Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the
            Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however,
            that:

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

                                      -51-
<PAGE>

                        (B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity
                  Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by
                  a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
                  thereof and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such
                  Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a
                  Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary thereof, shall be deemed,
                  in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness
                  by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
                  be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

                  (7) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
            Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in respect of (a) interest rate
            swap agreements, interest rate cap agreements, interest rate collar
            agreements and other similar agreements or arrangements designed to
            protect the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary against
            fluctuations in interest rates, (b) currency swap agreements,
            currency forward agreements and other similar agreements or
            arrangements designed to protect the Company or such Restricted
            Subsidiary against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, and (c)
            commodity agreements, such as futures contracts, forward contracts,
            options or other agreements entered into for the purposes of
            protecting the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary against
            fluctuations in the price of, or shortage of supply of, commodities
            used in the ordinary course of business, in each case entered into
            for risk hedging purposes in the ordinary course of business and not
            for speculative purposes;

                  (8) the Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
            of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that was
            permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09
            (other than (x) Indebtedness incurred by Foreign Subsidiaries under
            paragraph (a) above and (y) Indebtedness incurred by Leasing
            Subsidiaries under clause (11) of this paragraph (b));

                  (9) the incurrence by any Foreign Subsidiary of Indebtedness
            in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including
            all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance
            or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (9),
            not to exceed $50.0 million;

                  (10) the incurrence by any Foreign Subsidiary of Indebtedness
            in respect of performance guaranties, performance bonds or similar
            obligations issued or incurred to support such Foreign Subsidiary's
            performance of its obligations under contracts for the supply of
            rail cars, marine barges or surface transportation equipment, in an
            aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25.0 million at any time
            outstanding;

                  (11) the incurrence by any Leasing Subsidiary of Indebtedness
            in the ordinary course of its equipment leasing business in an
            aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at the time of incurrence
            thereof, 75.0% of the net book value (as determined in accordance
            with GAAP) of Leasing Assets that are subject to Permitted Liens
            that secure such Indebtedness, so long as neither the Company or any
            other Guarantor (a) provides credit support of any kind with respect
            thereto (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument that
            would constitute Indebtedness), or (b) is directly or indirectly
            liable with respect thereto, as a guarantor or otherwise, or (c)
            constitutes the lender thereof; and

                  (12) the incurrence by the Company or any Guarantor of
            additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or
            accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including
            all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance
            or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (12),
            not to exceed $20.0 million.

                                      -52-
<PAGE>

            The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to,
directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness which by its terms (or by the
terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) is expressly subordinated in
right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as
the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms
of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the
Notes or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, to the same
extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other
Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

            For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar
denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar
equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency
shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on
the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or
first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if
such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a
foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar
dominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency
exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar
dominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the
principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal
amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall
not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange
rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to
refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the
Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency
exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

            The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original
issue discount and the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of
additional Indebtedness with the same terms shall not be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09 provided, in each
such case, that the amount thereof is included in Adjusted Interest Expense of
the Company.

            For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in
the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of
the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (12) of
paragraph (b) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the paragraph (a)
of this Section 4.09, the Company shall be permitted to classify such item of
Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, and later reclassify all or a
portion of such Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section
4.09.

SECTION 4.10. ASSET SALES

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

                  (1) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
            be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least
            equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests
            issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;

                  (2) such Fair Market Value is determined by the Company's
            Board of Directors and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of
            Directors set forth in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the
            Trustee; and

                                      -53-
<PAGE>

                  (3) with respect to Asset Sales by the Company or any
            Guarantor, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by
            the Company or such Guarantor is in the form of cash. For purposes
            of this clause, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

                        (A) any liabilities of the Company or such Guarantor
                  that, pursuant to GAAP, would appear on its balance sheet
                  immediately prior to such Asset Sale (other than contingent
                  liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms
                  subordinated to the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee) that
                  are assumed by the transferee of any such assets (and, with
                  respect to any such liabilities that constitute Indebtedness
                  of the Company or such Guarantor, the liabilities are assumed
                  pursuant to a customary written novation agreement that
                  releases the Company or such Guarantor from further
                  liability); and

                        (B) any securities, Notes or other obligations received
                  by the Company or such Guarantor from such transferee that are
                  contemporaneously converted by the Company or such Guarantor
                  into cash or within 180 days after the Asset Sale (to the
                  extent of the cash received in that conversion).

            (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an
Asset Sale, the Company may apply such Net Proceeds at its option:

                  (1) to repay or prepay Indebtedness outstanding under the
            Credit Agreement and, if the Indebtedness repaid or prepaid is
            revolving credit Indebtedness, to reduce commitments with respect
            thereto correspondingly and permanently;

                  (2) to acquire Business Related Assets.

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

            Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested
as provided in paragraph (b) above shall constitute "Excess Proceeds". When the
aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million ("Excess Proceeds
Trigger Date"), then not more than 30 days after the Excess Proceeds Trigger
Date, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all
holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing
provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers
to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the
maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that
may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale
Offer shall be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest, to the date of purchase, and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess
Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use
those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture
and such amounts no longer shall constitute Excess Proceeds. If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such
Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and such other
pari passu Indebtedness shall be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion
of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

            The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each
repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sales
provisions herein,

                                      -54-
<PAGE>

the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and
shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale
provisions herein by virtue of such compliance.

            If the Company is prohibited from repurchasing any Notes by the
Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating to Indebtedness,
prior to making any Asset Sale Offer, but in any event within 30 days following
the date on which such Asset Sale Offer would otherwise be required, the Company
shall either repay such Indebtedness or obtain the requisite consents, if any,
under all agreements and instruments governing such Indebtedness necessary to
permit the repurchase of Notes required by this Section 4.10.

SECTION 4.11. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

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

            (1) the terms thereof are no less favorable to the Company or such
      Restricted Subsidiary than those which could be obtained at the time of
      such transaction in an arm's-length transaction with a Person who is not
      an Affiliate; and

            (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee:

                  (A) with respect to such Affiliate Transaction or series of
            related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
            excess of $3.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of
            the Company set forth in an Officer's Certificate certifying that
            such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11 and that
            such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the
            disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company; and

                  (B) with respect to such Affiliate Transaction or series of
            related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
            excess of $10.0 million an opinion of an accounting, appraisal or
            investment banking firm of national standing to the effect that such
            Affiliate Transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted
            Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view.

            (b) The provisions of the paragraph (a) shall not prohibit:

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

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

                  (3) Restricted Payments that are permitted under Section 4.07;

                  (4) any employment, consulting, service or termination
            agreement or reasonable and customary indemnification arrangements,
            entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
            with directors, officers and employees of the Company or any of its
            Restricted Subsidiaries and the payment of compensation to
            directors, officers and employees of the Company or any of its
            Restricted Subsidiaries (including

                                      -55-
<PAGE>

            amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans, employee stock
            option or similar plans), in each case in the ordinary course of
            business; and

                  (5) the Excluded Transactions and the performance of
            obligations of the Company under the terms of any other agreement in
            effect on date on which Notes are first issued hereunder and
            described in the Offering Memorandum.

SECTION 4.12. LIENS

            The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur or permit to exist any Lien of any
nature whatsoever on any of its properties (including Capital Stock of a
Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the date on which the Notes are first
issued hereunder or thereafter acquired, other than Permitted Liens, without
effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with
(or prior to, in the case of any Subordinated Indebtedness so secured) the
obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured.

SECTION 4.13. SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

            (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction;
provided that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a sale and
leaseback transaction if:

            (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred
      Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such
      sale and leaseback transaction under the Consolidated Interest Coverage
      Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a); provided, further, that this
      clause (1) shall not apply with respect to sale and leaseback transactions
      entered into by the Leasing Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
      business in respect of which neither the Company nor any other Restricted
      Subsidiary provides credit support of any kind or is otherwise directly or
      indirectly liable;

            (2) the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction
      are at least equal to the fair market value thereof; provided, that, in
      connection with a sale and leaseback transaction other than in the
      ordinary course of the equipment leasing business of the Company and its
      Subsidiaries, such fair market value shall be determined by resolution of
      the Board of Directors and set forth in an Officer's Certificate delivered
      to the Trustee, of the property that is the subject of that sale and
      leaseback transaction; and

            (3) the transfer of assets in that sale and leaseback transaction is
      permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in
      compliance with Section 4.10.

            In determining whether the condition specified in clause (1) above
is satisfied with respect to any sale and leaseback transaction for which such
condition must be satisfied, imputed interest in respect of Attributable Debt
relating to such sale and leaseback transaction, and to each other sale and
leaseback transaction then existing, shall be added both to Consolidated Cash
Flow and Adjusted Interest Expense, to the extent it is not otherwise included
therein, for purposes of computing the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio.

SECTION 4.14. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

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

                                      -56-
<PAGE>

SECTION 4.15. CORPORATE EXISTENCE

            Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be
done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its
corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each
of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational
documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any
such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses
and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries, except where the failure to
do so would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to
perform its obligations under the Notes or this Indenture.

SECTION 4.16. OFFER TO REPURCHASE UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL

            If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes shall have the
right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or
an integral multiple of $1,000) of that Holder's Notes (a "Change of Control
Offer") at a purchase price (the "Change of Control Payment") equal to 101% of
the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of
purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date
to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date; provided,
however, notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company
shall not be obligated to purchase the Notes pursuant to a Change of Control
Offer if, prior to the time at which the Change of Control Offer is required to
be made, the Company mails an irrevocable notice of redemption of all Notes
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.07 of this Indenture". Within 30 days
following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder
describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control
and offering to repurchase Notes on the repurchase date specified in the notice
(the "Change of Control Payment Date"), which date shall be no earlier than 30
and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the
procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice.

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

            On or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company
shall, to the extent lawful:

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

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

            (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes
      properly accepted together with an officers certificate stating the
      aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased
      by the Company.

            The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes
properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee
shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry)
to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any

                                      -57-
<PAGE>

unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided, that each new
Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.
the Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer
on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

            If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest
payment record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, shall be paid to the
Holder in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such
record date, and no other interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, shall be
payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

            The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in
the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set
in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company
and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of
Control Offer.

            If any Credit Facility prohibits the commencement of the Change of
Control Offer or consummation of the repurchase of Notes pursuant to the Change
of Control Offer, prior to the commencement of a Change of Control Offer but in
any event within 60 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall:

            (1) (A) repay in full and terminate all commitments under
      Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and all other Indebtedness the
      terms of which require repayment upon a Change of Control, or (B) offer to
      repay in full and terminate all commitments under all Indebtedness under
      the Credit Agreement and all such other Indebtedness and repay such
      Indebtedness owed to each lender which has accepted such offer in full; or

            (2) obtain the requisite consents under the Credit Agreement and all
      such other Indebtedness to permit the repurchase of the Notes as provided
      herein.

SECTION 4.17. ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

            If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or
creates another Domestic Subsidiary after the date hereof, then the Company
shall cause that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary to become a
Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee within ten Business Days of the date on which it was
acquired or created; provided that any Domestic Subsidiary that constitutes an
Immaterial Subsidiary need not become a Guarantor until such time as it ceases
to be an Immaterial Subsidiary.

            In addition to the Guarantors named herein, the Company shall cause
any existing or future Subsidiary of the Company to become a Guarantor if and
for so long as such Subsidiary provides a guarantee or otherwise becomes an
obligor in respect of Indebtedness of the Company.

            Each Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to an amount not to
exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary
without rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted
Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or
fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

<PAGE>

SECTION 4.18. DESIGNATION OF RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES

            The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted
Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause
a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned
by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated
shall be deemed to be a Restricted Investment made as of the time of such
designation and that designation shall only be permitted if such Investment
would be permitted under Section 4.07 and if such Restricted Subsidiary
otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of
Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary
to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation shall be deemed to
be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of
any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such
designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under
Section 4.09, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had
occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no
Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

SECTION 4.19. PAYMENTS FOR CONSENT

            The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for
the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent,
waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the
Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders
of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth
in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

SECTION 4.20. EFFECTIVENESS OF COVENANTS

            Following the first Business Day on which:

            (1) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating; and

            (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
      under this Indenture;

the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the
provisions Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 4.13 (collectively, the
"Suspended Covenants"). If at any time the Notes' credit rating is downgraded
from an Investment Grade Rating, then the Suspended Covenants shall be
reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended and shall be
enforceable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection
with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the
terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an
Investment Grade Rating (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer
be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating);
provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall
be deemed to exist hereunder, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees with
respect to the Suspended Covenants based on any actions taken or events
occurring after the Notes attain an Investment Grade Rating and before any
reinstatement of such Suspended Covenants, or any actions taken at any time
pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to such reinstatement,
regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the
applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. Without
limitation, at any time the Suspended Covenants are reinstated, all Indebtedness
incurred during a time when the Suspended Covenants had been suspended shall be
deemed to be Existing Indebtedness.

      under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the
      District of Columbia;

            (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
      merger (if other than the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary) or the
      Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
      disposition has been made assumes in writing all the obligations of the
      Company under the Notes, this Indenture and the registration rights
      agreement or the Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee and this
      Indenture, in each case pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to
      the Trustee;

            (3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default
      or Event of Default exists;

            (4) the Company (or, in a consolidation or merger of the Company
      with or into another Person, the Person formed by or surviving any such
      consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which
      such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been
      made) would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect
      thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred
      at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to
      incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the
      Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a).

            (5) each Guarantor shall have by amendment to its Subsidiary
      Guarantee confirmed in writing that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall
      continue to apply to the obligations of the Company or the surviving
      Person in accordance with the Notes and this Indenture.

            (b) The provisions in paragraph (a) above shall not prohibit a
consolidation or merger of (1) a Guarantor with and into a Wholly-Owned
Guarantor or the Company, (2) a Domestic Subsidiary that is an Immaterial
Subsidiary with and into a Wholly-Owned Guarantor or the Company, or (3) a

            (c) The provisions in paragraph (a) above shall not prohibit a
consolidation or merger of a Restricted Subsidiary with and into another Person
if (x) after giving effect to such transaction, the Person surviving such
consolidation or merger is not a Subsidiary of the Company and (y) such
transaction does not constitute a disposition of all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, which transaction shall constitute an Asset Sale and be governed by
Section 4.10.

                                      -60-
<PAGE>

            The Company shall deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation
of the proposed transaction an Officer's Certificate to the foregoing effect and
an opinion of counsel stating that the proposed transaction and such
supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture.

SECTION 5.02. SUCCESSOR CORPORATION SUBSTITUTED

            Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the successor corporation formed
by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which
such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such
consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of
this Indenture referring to the Company shall refer instead to the successor
corporation and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of
the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor
Person had been named as the Company herein. The predecessor company shall be
relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes
(and its obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07) only in the case
of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and
assets of all of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole

to the Trustee, to the Trustee within ten Business Days of the date of any such
consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other

      Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date on which Notes are
      first issued hereunder, if that default:

                  (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or
            premium, if any on, such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the
            grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such
            default (a "Payment Default"); or

                                      -61-
<PAGE>

                  (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to
            its Stated Maturity,

      and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together
      with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there
      has been a Payment Default or the Stated Maturity of which has been so
      accelerated, aggregates $10.0 million or more;

            (6) failure by the Company or any Guarantor to pay final judgments
      entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, aggregating in
      excess of $10.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or
      stayed for a period of 60 days after such judgments have become final and
      non-appealable;

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

            (8) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in this
      Indenture with respect to the Company or any Guarantor that is a
      Significant Subsidiary or a group of Guarantors that, taken together (as
      of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company
      and its Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

                  (a) commences a voluntary case,

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

                  (c) consents to the appointment of a Note Custodian of it or
            for all or substantially all of its property,

                  (d) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
            creditors, or

                  (e) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; and

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

                  (a) is for relief against the Company or any Guarantor that is
            a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

                  (b) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Guarantor that
            is a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the
            property of the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant
            Subsidiary; or

                  (c) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Guarantor
            that is a Significant Subsidiary; and the order or decree remains
            unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

            The term "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee,
liquidation, sequestrator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 6.02. ACCELERATION

            In the case of an Event of Default arising from clause (8) or (9) of
Section 6.01, with respect to the Company, any Guarantor of the Company that is
a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors of the Company that, taken
together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes shall
become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any
other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of
at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to
the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders).

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in
clause (5) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, such Event of
Default and any consequential acceleration shall be automatically rescinded if
(i) the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been
repaid, or (ii) if the default relating to such Indebtedness is waived or cured
and if such Indebtedness has been accelerated, then the Holders thereof have
rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness.

            Any such declaration with respect to the Notes may be rescinded and
annulled by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity
of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee, except a continuing
Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or
premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes, if (i) the rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction,
(ii) all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment
of principal of or interest on the Notes that has become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is
lawful, interest (at the same rate specified in the Notes) on overdue
installments of interest and overdue payments of principal, which has become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (iv) the
Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the
Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances and (v) in the event of the
cure or waiver of a Default or Event of Default of the type described in Section
6.01(8) and (9) the Trustee has received an Officer's Certificate and Opinion of
Counsel that such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent
thereto.

SECTION 6.03. OTHER REMEDIES

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

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

SECTION 6.04. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS

            Subject to Section 9.02 and in any event in accordance with the
conditions set forth in the last paragraph of Section 6.02, Holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by
notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an
existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a
continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of,
premium and Liquidated Damages on, or interest on the Notes (including in
connection with an offer to purchase); provided that the Holders of a majority
in

                                      -63-
<PAGE>

aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an
acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that
resulted from such acceleration, so long as such acceleration was not the result
of a payment default. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist,
and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured
for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.05. CONTROL BY MAJORITY

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

SECTION 6.06. LIMITATION ON SUITS

            In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers hereunder
at the request or direction of any Holders of Notes unless such Holders have
offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss,
liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, when due,
no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Notes unless,

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 6.07. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF NOTES TO RECEIVE PAYMENT

            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of
any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and Liquidated
Damages, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates
expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.08. COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE

            If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name
and as Trustee of an express trust against the

                                      -64-
<PAGE>

Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if
any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue
principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall
be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.09. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM

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

SECTION 6.10. PRIORITIES

            After an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable
in respect of the Company's obligations under this Indenture shall be paid in
the following order:

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

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

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

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

                                      -65-
<PAGE>

SECTION 6.11. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS

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

                                   ARTICLE 7

                                     TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      -66-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

            (g) Except as expressly set forth in this Indenture, the Trustee
shall have no obligation to ascertain or inquire as to the observance or
performance of any covenant, agreement or obligation on the part of the Company
or of any of the Guarantors under this Indenture or any other agreement,
instrument or document.

SECTION 7.02. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE

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

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

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

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

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

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

            (g) Any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall
be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company may be sufficiently
evidenced by a Board Resolution.

            (h) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,
debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but
the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation
into such facts or matters as it

                                      -67-
<PAGE>

may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
investigation, it shall be entitled to examine, to the extent necessary and
consistent with each inquiry or investigation, the books, records and premises
of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the
Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by
reason of such inquiry or investigation.

            (i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice, nor shall it be
charged with knowledge, of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of
such Default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this
Indenture.

            (j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits
given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each
of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person
employed to act hereunder.

            (k) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officer's
Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles or officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture,
which Officer's Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an
Officer's Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

            (l) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for
special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the
Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless
of the form of action.

            (m) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure
or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out
of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable
control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood;
terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots;
interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or
software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or
military authority and governmental action.

SECTION 7.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE

            The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. If the Trustee does become a creditor of the Company or any Guarantor,
this Indenture limits its rights to obtain payment of claims in certain cases,
or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as
security or otherwise. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any
conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to
the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the
same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10
and 7.11 hereof.

SECTION 7.04. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER

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

                                      -68-
<PAGE>

connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than
its certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS

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

SECTION 7.06. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS OF THE NOTES

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

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

SECTION 7.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY

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

            The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall
indemnify the Trustee (and any predecessor Trustee) against any and all losses,
damages, claims, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees
and expenses) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance
or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and
expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors
(including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether
asserted by the Company, the Guarantors or any Holder or any other person) or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, damage, claim, liability
or expense results from its gross negligence or bad faith or willful misconduct.
The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the
Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or
such Guarantor shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the
defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any
Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld.

            The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section
7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture and the termination of this Indenture.

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

            In addition and without prejudice to its rights hereunder, when the
Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified
in Section 6.01(9) or (10) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for
the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE

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

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

                  (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

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

                  (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee
            or its property; or

                  (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

            If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the
Holders of Notes of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

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

            A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this

                                      -70-
<PAGE>

Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders of the Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property
held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the
Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section
7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.09. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC.

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

SECTION 7.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION

            There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate Trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition.

            This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to
TIA Section. 310(b). Nothing herein shall prohibit the Trustee from making the
application to the SEC referred to in the penultimate paragraph of Section
310(b) of the TIA.

SECTION 7.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY

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

                                    ARTICLE 8

                    LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 8.01. OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE

            The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced
by a resolution set forth in an Officer's Certificate, at any time, elect to
have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes upon
compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Eight.

SECTION 8.02. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE

            Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors shall,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof,
be deemed to have been discharged from all of its obligations with respect to
all outstanding Notes (including Subsidiary Guarantees) and this Indenture on
the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied and the Guarantors shall
be deemed to have been discharged with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantees
(hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that
the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the
entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including Subsidiary
Guarantees), which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the
purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other

                                      -71-
<PAGE>

Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have
satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees
and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same); provided that
the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive
solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully
set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of or premium,
if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes when such payments
are due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to the Notes concerning
issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes and mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money
for security payments held in trust, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company's and the Guarantor's
obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. Subject to
compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03
hereof.

SECTION 8.03. COVENANT DEFEASANCE

            Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be
released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Article 4 (other
those in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.06) and in Section 5.01 hereof with respect
to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in
Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Notes
shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
"outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such
Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this
purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes
and Subsidiary Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply
with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation
set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in
any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and
such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this
Indenture and such Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby.
In addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(6) through 6.01(8)
hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

SECTION 8.04. CONDITIONS TO LEGAL OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE

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

      sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank or
      firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or
      interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the outstanding
      Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date
      specified by the Company, as the case may be, and the Company must specify
      whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular
      redemption date;

      Company has delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably

<PAGE>

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

                  (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change
            in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the
            effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm
            that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes shall not recognize
            income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of
            such Legal Defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on
            the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would
            have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

            (3) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the
      Company has delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably
      acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding
      Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
      purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and shall be subject to
      federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same

      a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material
      agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company
      or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of
      its Subsidiaries is bound;

            (6) the Company must have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of
      counsel, subject to customary qualifications, to the effect that after the
      91st day following the deposit, no trust funds shall be subject to the
      effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar
      laws affecting creditors' rights generally or in connection with Covenant
      Defeasance, such trust funds shall be subject to a first priority lien in
      favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Notes;

            (7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
      stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of
      preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company

      of the Company or others; and

SECTION 8.05. DEPOSITED MONEY AND GOVERNMENT SECURITIES TO BE HELD IN TRUST;
              OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

            Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable
Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee (or other qualifying Trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section
8.05, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the
outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company

                                      -73-
<PAGE>

acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal of or
premium, if any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest, but such money need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

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

SECTION 8.06. REPAYMENT TO THE COMPANY

            Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then
held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or premium, if
any, Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, Liquidated
Damages, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the
Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from
such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as a secured 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 The New York Times and The
Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed
and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days
from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such
money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 8.07. REINSTATEMENT

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

            Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the
Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture the Notes or

            1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

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

            (3) to provide for the assumption of the Company's or a Guarantor's
      obligations to Holders of Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees in the case of a
      merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the
      Company's or such Guarantor's assets, as applicable;

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

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

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

            (7) to provide for the issuance of additional Notes in accordance

            Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the execution of any such amended
or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
described in Section 9.06 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and
the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture
authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further
appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the
Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental
Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise.

SECTION 9.02. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES

            Except as provided in Section 9.01 or below in this Section 9.02,
the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and the Notes
may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding voting as
a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and,
subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07

                                      -75-
<PAGE>

hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any
provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding
Notes voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained

or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a
nonconsenting Holder):

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

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

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

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

            (6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to
      waivers of past Defaults;

            (7) make any change in the rights of Holders of Notes to receive
      payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if
      any, on the Notes;

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

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

            (10) amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company to make

      and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of
      Control in accordance with Section 4.16, including, in each case,
      amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto;

            (11) except as otherwise permitted under Section 5.01, consent to
      the assignment or transfer by the Company or any Guarantor of any of their
      rights or obligations hereunder;

            (12) amend or modify any of the provisions of this Indenture or the
      related definitions affecting the subordination or ranking of the Notes or
      any Subsidiary Guarantee in any manner adverse to the holders of the Notes
      or any Subsidiary Guarantee; or

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

                                      -76-
<PAGE>

            Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the execution of any such amended
or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence
satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid,
and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06
hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended
or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly
affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

SECTION 9.03. COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT

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

SECTION 9.04. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS

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

SECTION 9.05. NOTICE OF AMENDMENT; NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES

            After any amendment under this Article becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice briefly describing such
amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders of Notes, or any
defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under
this Article.

authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement, in the

supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to
Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to

                              SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

SECTION 10.01. GUARANTEE

            (a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby,
jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors
and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture,
the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

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

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

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

            (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or
thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce
the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

            (c) Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy
of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company,
protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary
Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the
obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

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

            (e) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right
of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations
guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.
Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand,
and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof
for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of
acceleration of such obligations

                                      -78-
<PAGE>

as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and
payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the
purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee.

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

            (g) To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Section
10.1, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee
substantially in the form included in Exhibit E shall be endorsed by an Officer
of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by
an Officer.

SECTION 10.02. LIMITATION ON GUARANTOR LIABILITY

            Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary
Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the
extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount
that shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent
and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and
after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from
or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 10.03. GUARANTORS MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC., ON CERTAIN TERMS

            No Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not
such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company
or another Guarantor, unless:

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

            (2) either:

                  (a) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or
            disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
            consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations
            of that Guarantor under this Indenture (including its Subsidiary
            Guarantee) and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to
            agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or

                  (b) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition shall
            be required to be applied in accordance with the applicable
            provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.04. RELEASES OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

            The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be released:

                  (1) upon consummation of any sale or other disposition of all
            of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not
            (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the
            Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company if the sale or
            other disposition does not violate Section 4.10 of this Indenture;

                  (2) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that
            is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with
            the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or

                  (3) upon Legal Defeasance of the Notes and the Subsidiary
            Guarantees pursuant to Section 8.02 or upon satisfaction and
            discharge of this Indenture as provided in Section 11.01.

effect as to all Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees issued hereunder, except as to
surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, when:

            (a) either:

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

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

            (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on
      the date of the deposit or shall result therefrom (other than a Default or
      Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to
      such deposit) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation
      of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the
      Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any
      Guarantor is bound;

                                      -80-

      sums payable by it hereunder; and

            (d) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the
      trustee hereunder to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the
      Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be. In

      of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent under this
      Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
      have been satisfied.

            Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture,
the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money
shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (2) of paragraph
(a) above, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 11.02 shall survive.

SECTION 11.02. APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS

            Subject to Section 11.03 hereof, all cash and non-callable
Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes
shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to
become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, but such cash and securities need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.

SECTION 11.03. REPAYMENT TO COMPANY

            Any cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Liquidated Damages,
if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal,
and premium, if any, or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, has become due
and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the
Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter,
as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all
liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and
securities, 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 The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition),
notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash and securities
then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

            If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States
dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Sections 11.01
and 11.02, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court
or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Company's and any Guarantor's obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Sections 11.01 and 11.02 hereof until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with
Sections 11.01 and 11.02 hereof, as the case may be; provided that, if the
Company makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest or
Liquidated Damages, if any, on any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the

                                      -81-

rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held
by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

      forth in Section 12.05 hereof) stating that, in the opinion of the

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

      or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such
      certificate or opinion are based;

            (c) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he or she has

under the federal securities laws

Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 next
preceding the Interest Payment Date (each, a "Record Date"), even if such Notes
are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date,

interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal of or premium, if any,

Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). The
Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this
Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of
the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are obligations of the
Company initially in the aggregate principal amount of $175,000,000. Subject to
compliance with Section 2.15 of the Indenture, the Company is permitted to issue
Additional Notes under the Indenture in an unlimited principal amount. Any such
Additional Notes that are actually issued shall be treated as issued and
outstanding Notes (and as the same class as the Initial Notes) for all purposes
of the Indenture, unless the context clearly indicated otherwise.

            (5) Ranking. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the
Company and rank parri passu with all other senior obligations of the Company.

            (6) Guarantees. This Note is guaranteed by the Persons, if any,
specified as Guarantors in the Indenture to the extent provided in the

option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices

unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the applicable
redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if
redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on May 15 of the years
indicated below:

</TABLE>

            (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of this Paragraph
7, at any time prior to May 15, 2008, the Company may on any one or more
occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued
under the Indenture (including any Additional Notes) at a redemption price equal
to 108.375% of the principal amount thereof on the redemption date, plus accrued
and unpaid Liquidated Damages, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash
proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings by the Company; provided that
(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (including any
Additional Notes) issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately
after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company and
its Subsidiaries); and (2) the Company mail notice of redemption no later than
30 days after the closing of such Public Equity Offering and consummates the
redemption within 60 days of the closing of such Public Equity Offering.

            (c) On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on
Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

            (8) Repurchase at Option of Holder.

            (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes
shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal
to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes pursuant to
the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer") at an offer

                                      A-92
<PAGE>

price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the date
of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 30 days following any
Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth
the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the
Indenture.

            (b) If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset
Sales, when the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the
Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall commence an offer to all
Holders pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum
principal amount of Notes (an "Asset Sale Offer") to all Holders of Notes and
all holders of such other Indebtedness of the Company that is pari passu with
the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with
respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets
that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in
an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that
any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the
Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by
the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu
Indebtedness tendered in such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess
Proceeds, the Excess Proceeds shall be allocated by the Company to the Notes and
such other pari passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis (based upon the
respective principal amounts (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Notes and
such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer) and the
portion of each Note to be purchased shall thereafter be determined by the
Trustee on a pro rata basis among the Holders of such Notes with appropriate
adjustments such that the Notes may only be purchased in integral multiples of
$1,000. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds
shall be reset to zero. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to
purchase shall receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related
purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form
entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes.

            (9) Notice of Redemption. Except as provided in paragraphs (7)(b)
and (8), notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than
60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed
at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be
redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes
held by a Holder are to be redeemed on the basis of the aggregate principal
amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Notes and other pari passu
Indebtedness tendered.

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

            (11) Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be
treated as its owner for all purposes.

            (12) Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes may be amended
or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class, and any
existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the

Company or any Guarantor (or the payment of which is Guaranteed by the Company

created after the date on which Notes are first issued hereunder, if that
default: (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium,
if any on, such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period
provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default");
or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated

to the Trustee if given by Holders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event
of Default specified in clause (5) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred and be
continuing, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration shall be
automatically rescinded if (i) the Indebtedness that is the subject of such
Event of Default has been repaid, or (ii) if the default relating to such
Indebtedness is waived or cured and if such Indebtedness has been accelerated,
then the Holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in
respect of such Indebtedness. Any such declaration with respect to the Notes may
be rescinded and annulled by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee,
except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of,
or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes, if (i) the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction, (ii) all existing Events of Default have been cured or
waived except nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Notes that has
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, (iii) to the extent the
payment of such interest is lawful, interest (at the same rate specified in the
Notes) on overdue installments of interest and overdue payments of principal,
which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has
been paid, (iv) the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and
reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances and (v) in
the event of the cure or waiver of a Default or Event of Default of the type
described in Section 6.01(9) and (10) the Trustee has received an Officer's
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel that such Default or Event of Default has
been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or

or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform
services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

incorporator, Affiliate or stockholder of the Company or any of the Guarantors,
as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or such
Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantee, the
Registration Rights Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by
reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting
a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part
of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
