 FITNESS:  LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS SELECTED THE TYPE, QUANTITY AND
 SUPPLIER OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT IT HAS REQUESTED LESSOR TO PURCHASE THE SAME
 FOR LEASING TO LESSEE.  LESSEE AGREES THAT THE EQUIPMENT AND EACH PART OR UNIT
 THEREOF IS OF A DESIGN, SIZE, QUALITY AND CAPACITY REQUIRED BY LESSEE AND IS
 SUITABLE FOR ITS PURPOSES.  LESSEE FURTHER AGREES THAT LESSOR HAS NOT MADE AND
<PAGE>
 DOES NOT HEREBY MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT, EXPRESS OR
                                   -1-
 IMPLIED AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE; AND
 LESSOR DOES HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OF
 MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS, OR WITH RESPECT TO THE CONDITION, QUALITY,

 OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT OR PERFORMANCE OF OTHER TERMS OF THIS LEASE.  LESSEE
 HEREBY AUTHORIZES LESSOR TO ADD TO THIS LEASE THE SERIAL NUMBER OF EACH ITEM
 OF EQUIPMENT DELIVERED, THE DATE OF SHIPMENT AND OTHER MATERIAL INFORMATION.
 LESSEE WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CONFERRED UPON IT AGAINST LESSOR
 BY SECTIONS 508 AND 522 OF ARTICLE 2A OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OR
 COMPARABLE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE LAW.

 5.  TERM OF LEASE.  This lease shall commence on the "Commencement Date of
 Lease" specified in the Lease of Personal Property and shall continue until
 the total "Number of Rent Payments" as specified in the "Payment Schedule"
 section of the Lease of Personal Property, shall have been made; but in any
 event, the term of this lease shall expire at the end of fifteen years from
 the date hereof.

 6.  LEASE DEPOSIT.  Lessor acknowledges that lessee has paid with the
 execution of this lease the sum specified under "lease deposit" in the
 "Payment Schedule" section of the Lease of Personal Property, to be held by
 lessor as a lease deposit and not as advance rental.  If lessee at the
 expiration of this lease or any renewal or extension hereof:
 (a)  shall not be in default hereunder or under any other lease in effect
 between the parties, and

 (b)  shall have paid to lessor all amounts due to lessor, and

 (c)  shall have returned to lessor the equipment in the condition provided in
 Paragraph 9 hereof, or made such other disposition thereof as may be directed
 by lessor.

 Lessor shall thereupon refund lessee the lease deposit without interest.  In
 the event, however, of any default at any time in any of the terms, provisions
 and conditions hereof or any other lease between the parties, or should lessee
 fail to return the equipment in the condition and at the time required under
 said Paragraph 9, lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, apply the lease
 deposit to cure such default in which event lessee shall promptly restore the
 lease deposit to the full amount specified above.  Lessor shall also have the
 right and privilege at its discretion to apply the lease deposit or any
 portion thereof to any other lease(s) outstanding between lessor, and lessee
 to cure a default in such lease(s) or to apply to any deficiency arising out
 of such other lease(s).
                                   -2-
<PAGE>
 7.  LOCATION AND RIGHT OF INSPECTION.  The equipment at all times shall be
 located at the address of Lessee specified herein or such other place as shall
 be mutually agreed upon between lessor and lessee.  Lessor shall at any and
 all times during business hours have the right to enter into and upon the
 premises where the equipment may be located for the purpose of inspecting the
 same or observing its use.  Lessee shall not move the equipment from the
 location in which said equipment shall be first delivered for use, except with
 the written consent of lessor.  Lessee shall promptly advise lessor of any
 circumstances which may in any manner affect any item of equipment or in any
 manner affect lessor's title thereto.

 8.  TITLE AND USE.  Title to all of said equipment shall at all times be
 solely in lessor or its assignee, and lessee shall have no interest or claims
 thereto or therein except as herein provided.  Lessee shall, however, unless
 default shall occur as hereinafter provided have the right to possession of
 said equipment and the quiet enjoyment thereof.  Lessee shall at all times use
 the equipment in a careful and proper manner and shall comply with all laws,
 ordinances and regulations in any manner relating to the possession, use or
 maintenance of the equipment, and shall if directed by lessor affix to said
 equipment in a prominent place and maintain thereon any labels, plates or
 other identifying markings indicating that the equipment is the property of
 lessor.  Lessee will not sublet, mortgage, pledge, sell or otherwise encumber
 or dispose of equipment or its interest therein.

 9.  OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT.  Lessee will use said equipment in compliance with
 all municipal, state and federal regulatory agency requirements only in the
 normal course of its business and only for the purposes for which said
 equipment was designed.  Lessee assumes all risks and liability for the
 equipment and for the use, possession, operation, maintenance, storage and
 condition thereof, and for injuries or death resulting to persons and damage
 resulting to property arising from or incident to such use, operation,
 possession, maintenance, storage and condition, whether such injuries, death
 or damage be to agents or employees of lessee or their property, or to third
 parties or their property.  Lessee will save and hold lessor harmless from all
 losses, damages, claims, penalties, liabilities and expenses including
 attorney's fees of whatsoever nature arising or incurred because of or
 incident to the use, possession, operation, maintenance, storage and condition
 of said equipment, and lessee will save and hold lessor harmless from any
 liability to person or property caused by the sole negligence of the lessor or
 its agents or caused by joint negligence of the lessor or its agents and one
 or more parties.  Upon expiration or termination of this lease, lessee at its
 expense shall immediately return said equipment to lessor at such place as
 lessor may designate in the same condition as when received, reasonable wear,
 tear and reasonable depreciation resulting from proper use thereof alone
 excepted.

 10.  REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS.  Lessee will keep and maintain equipment in good
 and working order and shall supply and install all replacement parts and
 accessories when required to maintain the leased equipment in good working
 condition, which parts and accessories shall be and become the sole property
 of lessor.  Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of lessor,
 make any alterations, modifications, additions, subtractions or improvements
 to the equipment, but if so authorized by lessor, any such additions,
 subtractions or improvements shall become the property of lessor and shall be
 deemed to be a part of the leased equipment.
<PAGE>
 11.  INSURANCE.  Lessee shall keep the equipment insured against all risks of
 loss or damage from every cause whatsoever for not less than the full
 replacement value thereof, as determined by lessor.  Lessee shall also
 maintain, while lessee is in possession of the leased equipment, public
 liability and property insurance, in an amount determined by lessor, but in
 which the limits of public liability shall not be less than Two Million
 ($2,000,000) Dollars per person and Two Million ($2,000,000) Dollars per
 accident, and in which the property damage liability shall not be less than
                                   -3-
 Two Million ($2,000,000) Dollars, unless other limits are agreed to in writing
 between lessor and lessee, protecting and indemnifying lessor against any
 injury to person or any damage to property arising by reason of the use,
 operation or maintenance of the equipment, and lessee shall, in addition, if
 requested by lessor, maintain products liability insurance in such an amount
 as shall be required by lessor and shall maintain in full force and effect at
 all times while lessee is in possession of the equipment, workman's
 compensation insurance which shall cover any and all claims for injury to any
 workman, employee, servant or agent of lessee arising through the use,
 operation or maintenance of the equipment.  All said insurance shall be in
 form and amount and with companies approved by lessor, and shall be in the
 names of lessor and lessee as their interest may appear.  Lessee shall pay the
 premiums therefor and deliver said policies, or evidence thereof, to lessor.
 Each insurer shall agree, by endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by
 it or by independent instrument furnished to lessor, that it will give lessor
 thirty (30) days written notice before the policy in question shall be altered
 or cancelled.  The proceeds of such insurance, at the option of lessor, shall
 be applied (a) toward the replacement, restoration or repair of the equipment,
 or (b) toward payment of the obligations of lessee hereunder.  Lessee hereby
 appoints lessor as lessee's attorney-in-fact to make claim for, receive
 payment of, and execute and endorse all documents, checks or drafts for, loss
 or damage under any said insurance policy.

 12.  TAXES.  Lessee shall keep the equipment free and clear of all levies,
 liens and encumbrances and shall pay all license fees, registration fees,
 assessments, charges and taxes (municipal, state and federal) including
 personal property taxes and any sales, use, or other transactional tax which
 may now or hereafter be imposed in connection with the lease, possession or
 use of the equipment, and including any penalties, interest, or delinquency
 charges accruing by reason of lessee's non-payment.  In addition, lessee
 agrees to pay all expenses including legal fees where, with lessee's consent,
 the validity or amount of any tax or assessment shall be challenged.  The use
 of the term "sales tax" in this document does not mean to imply that this is a
 "sale" but some jurisdictions refer to the term interchangeably with "use
 tax."  The parties acknowledge that this is a true lease.

 13.  LESSOR'S RIGHT TO PAY INSURANCE PREMIUMS AND TAXES.  In case of failure
 of lessee to procure or maintain said insurance or to pay said fees,
 assessments, charges and taxes, all as herein specified, lessor shall have the
 right, but shall not be obligated, to effect such insurance, or pay said fees,
 assessments, charges and taxes, as the case may be.  In that event, the cost
 thereof shall be repayable to lessor with the next installment of rent, and
 failure to repay the same shall carry with it the same consequence, including
 the late charge and interest provided in Paragraph 20 hereof.

 14.  LOSS AND DAMAGE.  Lessee shall bear the entire risk of loss, theft,
 damage or destruction of equipment from any cause whatsoever; and no loss,
<PAGE>
 theft, damage or destruction of equipment shall relieve lessee of the
 obligation to pay rent or of any other obligation under this lease.  In the
 event of damage to any item of equipment, lessee shall immediately place the
 same in good repair.  If lessor determines that any item of equipment is lost,
 stolen, destroyed or damaged beyond repair, lessee, at the option of lessor,
 will: (a) replace the same with like equipment in good repair, or (b) pay
 lessor in cash all of the following: (i) all amounts then owed by lessee to
 lessor under this lease, (ii) an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the
 actual cost of said item, (iii) the unpaid balance of the total rent for the
 initial term of this lease attributable to said item, less any proceeds of
 insurance thereon received by lessor, and (iv) any license fees, registration
 fees, assessments, charges and taxes (municipal, state and federal) including
 personal property taxes and any sales, use, or other transactional tax, and
 including any penalties, interest, or delinquency charges, that have accrued,
 will be assessed, or are otherwise due and owing in connection with the lease,
 possession or use of the equipment.  Upon lessor's receipt of such payment,
 lessee shall be entitled to whatever interest lessor may have in said item, in
 its then condition and location, without warranties, express or implied.  The
                                   -4-
 parties hereto agree that the sum of the amount numbered (ii) and (iii) will
 equal the fair value of said item on the date of such loss, theft, damage or
 destruction.

 15.  DEFAULT.  (a) If lessee fails to pay any rent or other amount herein
 provided within ten (10) days after the same is due and payable, or if lessee
 fails to perform any other provision hereof within ten (10) days after notice
 thereof from lessor, or if lessee dies or ceases to exist, or if lessee is
 adjudicated a bankrupt, suspends business, becomes insolvent, makes an
 assignment for the benefit of creditors or enters into or petitions for a
 creditor's arrangement or if an attachment be levied or a lien be filed
 against any of lessee's property or against equipment or if a receiver be
 appointed for any of lessee's property or should the lessee fail to use such
 equipment strictly in compliance with all municipal, state and federal
 regulatory agency requirements then and upon the happening of any of such
 events the entire balance of the rent called for by this lease shall, at the
 election of lessor, become forthwith due and owing or any guarantor of this
 lease defaults on any obligation to lessor or any of the above listed events
 of default occur with respect to any guarantor or any such guarantor files or
 has filed against it a petition under bankruptcy law; and lessor shall have
 the right, but shall not be obligated, to exercise any one or more of the
 following remedies: (i) sue for and recover all rents and other amounts then
 accrued, due and owing, or thereafter accruing under this lease; including the
 estimated residual value for the equipment if such equipment has not been
 returned to or has been disposed by lessor as set forth herein and including
 "taxes" described in Paragraph 12 of this document; (ii) take possession of
 the equipment and for the purpose thereof may enter the premises on which
 equipment is located without court order or other process of law (damages
 occasioned by such taking are expressly waived by lessee), and thereupon
 lessee's right to possession and use of equipment shall terminate, but lessee
 shall be and remain liable for the total rent for the term as set forth in
 Paragraph 5 hereof; (iii) sell or lease any or all items of equipment at
 public or private sale for cash or on credit, or, if leased, to such persons
 and upon such terms as lessor shall elect, and recover from lessee all costs
 of taking possession, storing, repairing and selling or leasing equipment,
 together with an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the actual cost to
 lessor of the items of equipment sold or leased and the unpaid balance of the
<PAGE>
 total rent for the initial term of this lease attributable to the items of
 equipment sold or leased less the net proceeds of such sale or the total rent
 under such lease; (iv) terminate this lease as to any or all items of
 equipment; (v) in the event lessor elects to terminate this lease as to any or
 all items of equipment, to recover from lessee as to each item subject to such
 termination, the worth at the time of such termination, of the excess, if any,
 of the amount of rent reserved herein for said item for the balance of the
 term hereof over the then reasonable rental value of said item for the same
 period of time.

 (b)  No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to lessor by this lease
 shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law provided; all
 rights and remedies conferred upon lessor by this lease or by law shall be
 cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy available to lessor.

 (c)  In the event of any default on the part of lessee, lessee shall pay in
 addition to any late payment charges that may be due under Paragraph 20
 hereof, all costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by lessor in exercising
 its rights or remedies hereunder or enforcing any of the provisions or terms
 hereof, including attorneys' fees and court costs, if lessor shall place the
 matter with an attorney for collection and enforcement.

 (d)  Should lessor be in default hereunder as to any item of equipment, lessee
 may not, because of such default, terminate this lease as to any other item of
 equipment.
                                   -5-
 (e)  In the event lessor shall elect to sue for and recover all rents and
 other amounts then due or thereafter accruing under this Lease or any
 extension thereof, such accelerated rental shall be discounted at an annual
 rate of four percent (4%).

 (f)  Time is of the essence hereof.

 16.  NO ASSIGNMENT BY LESSEE.  Without the prior written consent of lessor,
 lessee shall not (a) assign, transfer, pledge or hypothecate this lease, the
 equipment or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or (b) sublet or rent
 the equipment or any part thereof or permit the equipment or any part thereof
 to be used by anyone other than lessee or lessee's employees.  Consent to any
 of the foregoing prohibited acts applies only in the given instance; and is
 not a consent to any subsequent like act by lessee or any other person.

 17.  LESSOR'S ASSIGNMENT.  Lessee acknowledges and understands that lessor may
 assign this lease to a bank or other financial institution and that such
 assignee shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this lease including all
 credit and financial information that lessee shall have theretofore or
 thereafter submitted to lessor.  In connection therewith lessee agrees: (a) to
 recognize any such assignment upon receipt of written notice thereof; (b) to
 accept the directions, demands or consents of such assignee in place of those
 of lessor; (c) to pay all rent hereunder as directed by such assignee and not
 to terminate this lease, notwithstanding any default on the part of lessor or
 any other liability or obligation on the part of lessor to lessee whether or
 not arising hereunder; (d) not to require such assignee to perform any duty,
 covenant or condition required to be performed by lessor, all rights of lessee
 in connection therewith being hereby waived as to such assignee, provided that
 nothing hereinbefore contained shall relieve lessor of its obligations to
 lessee hereunder; (e) not to set up against such assignee any defenses,
 setoffs or counterclaims which it may have against lessor in regard to the
 payment of rent hereunder.
<PAGE>
 18.  WARRANTIES.  (a) Lessor may request the supplier to authorize lessee to
 enforce in its own name all warranties, agreements or representations, if any,
 which may be made by the supplier to lessee or lessor, (BUT NO DEFECT,
 UNMERCHANTABILITY, OR UNFITNESS OF THE EQUIPMENT SHALL RELIEVE LESSEE OF THE
 OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT OR OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATION UNDER THIS LEASE),
 (b) Lessor covenants that subject to the terms and conditions of this lease,
 lessee shall peaceably and quietly hold, possess and use equipment during the
 term of this lease.

 19.  PERSONAL PROPERTY.  The equipment is, and shall at all times be and
 remain, personal property notwithstanding that the equipment or any part
 thereof may now be, or hereafter become, in any manner affixed or attached to,
 or imbedded in, or permanently resting upon, real property or any building
 thereon, or attached in any manner to what is permanent as by means of cement,
 plaster, nails, bolts, screws or otherwise.

 20.  LATE PAYMENT.  Should lessee fail to pay any part of the rent herein
 reserved or any other sum required to be paid by lessee to lessor within 10
 days after the due date thereof, lessee shall pay unto lessor a charge of
 $10.00 for each month or part thereof for which said rent or other sum shall
 be delinquent which lessee acknowledges is a reasonable charge to cover
 lessor's extra expense.  In addition, lessee shall pay to lessor interest on
 such delinquent payment from the due date thereof until paid at the rate of
 18% per annum.

 21.  OFFSET.  Lessee hereby waives any and all existing and future claims and
 offsets, against any rent or other payments due hereunder; and agrees to pay
 the rent and other amounts hereunder regardless of any offset or claim which
                                   -6-
 may be asserted by lessee or on its behalf.  Lessee hereby further
 acknowledges that the manufacturer or vendor of the leased equipment including
 their agents and employees, were at no time and are not now the agent or under
 the supervision of the lessor, nor was or is the lessor in any manner, the
 agent of the manufacturer or vendor.

 22.  NON WAIVER.  No covenant or condition of this Lease can be waived except
 by the written consent of lessor.  Forbearance or indulgence by lessor in any
 regard whatsoever shall not constitute a waiver of the covenant or condition
 to be performed by lessee to which the same may apply, and, until complete
 performance by lessee of said covenant or condition, lessor shall be entitled
 to invoke any remedy available to lessor under this Lease or by law or in
 equity despite said forbearance or indulgence.

 23.  NO ABATEMENT IN RENT.  THIS LEASE IS IRREVOCABLE FOR THE FULL TERM HEREOF
 AND UNTIL THE AGGREGATE RENTALS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN HAVE BEEN PAID BY LESSEE.
 Rent shall not abate during the term hereof because lessee's right to
 possession of equipment has terminated, or because equipment has been
 repossessed, or for any other reason.

 24.  NOTICES.  Service of all notices under this agreement shall be sufficient
 if given personally or mailed to the party involved at its respective address
 hereinbefore set forth, or at such address as such party may provide in
 writing from time to time.  Any such notice mailed to such address shall be
 effective when deposited in the United States mail, duly addressed and with
 postage prepaid.
<PAGE>
 25.  OTHER DOCUMENTS.  Should lessee be domiciled or reside in a state which
 has adopted the Uniform Commercial Code "Code" or if the equipment shall be
 located in such state, then, if at any time this transaction shall be
 construed to be a security transaction, this Lease shall be deemed to be the
 security agreement, and lessor shall be the secured party herein and lessee
 the debtor.  Lessee agrees to execute and deliver to lessor contemporaneously
 with the execution hereof, or at any time during the existence of this Lease
 if requested by lessor to do so, a financing statement to comply with the
 provisions of the Code, which lessor shall be authorized to file with the
 appropriate filing officer; lessee hereby authorizes lessor to execute and
 file Financing Statements and/or Continuation Statements under the Code, on
 lessee's behalf and to file such a document in all places where necessary to
 perfect lessor's interest in the equipment; provided however that nothing
 herein, nor the execution of the said financing statement, shall constitute an
 acknowledgment that this transaction is subject to the Code.

 26.  SUCCESSORS.  Subject to the provisions hereof this agreement shall be
 binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, administrators, successors
 and assigns of the parties hereto.

 27.  STATEMENTS.  Lessor may require from time to time, and lessee agrees to
 furnish statements setting forth the financial condition and operations of
 lessee.

 28.  VEHICLES.  If the equipment is a motor vehicle, lessee shall a) permit
 only licensed drivers to operate same who shall be employees of lessee, b) use
 the vehicle for its own needs and not for hire, c) do nothing which shall
 increase or suspend insurance coverage thereon, and d) assume sole
 responsibility for the payment of wages, unemployment and workmen's
 compensation insurance, and social security requirements of such employees.

 29.  MASTER LEASE.  In the event lessor shall hereafter lease to lessee
 additional "equipment," as said term is used herein, said equipment shall be
 described on a Schedule or Schedules executed by the parties which shall make
 reference to this "Lease of Personal Property."  Each said Schedule shall in
                                   -7-
 addition to describing the equipment therein leased, set forth the term of the
 Lease, the amount of rental, the manner of payment of the rentals, the number
 of rental payments, the commencement date of the rental payments, the amount
 of any security deposit, and such other provisions as may be included therein.
 Each such Schedule when executed by the parties shall be deemed to be a part
 of this "Lease of Personal Property," and all of the provisions hereof, except
 such as may be inconsistent, shall govern said Schedule or Schedules, it being
 understood and agreed that this "Lease of Personal Property" shall be the
 Master Lease.

 30.  DEFAULT - WHERE ADDITIONAL LEASES OR SCHEDULES.  If lessee fails to pay
 any rent or other amount of any other lease or schedule, whether heretofore or
 hereafter entered into, within ten (10) days after the same is due and
 payable, or if lessee fails to perform any other provisions of this or any
 other lease or schedule within ten (10) days after notice thereof from lessor,
 it shall constitute a default in all leases or schedules, including this lease
 and thereupon the provisions of Paragraph 15 above shall be applicable,
 including the right of lessor to apply any security deposit or other
 collateral pledged to it by lessee under any lease to cure such default to the
 extent applicable.  If this Lease or any other lease or schedule heretofore or
<PAGE>
 hereafter entered into between lessor and lessee shall be determined to be a
 security transaction, or if lessee shall default resulting in liquidation,
 resale or re-leasing of the leased equipment, then and in such event lessor
 shall be deemed to have as of the date hereof and is granted a security
 interest in all of the leased equipment described in all leases then
 outstanding between lessor and lessee and the proceeds from any such
 liquidation, resale or re-leasing shall be applied by lessor to the aggregate
 total of obligations due and to become due to it plus its charges, expenses
 and reasonable attorneys' fees.

 31.  WAIVER.  LESSEE HEREBY SPECIFICALLY CONSENTS TO WAIVE AND DOES WAIVE ITS
 CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO A HEARING PRIOR TO THE LESSOR'S TAKING POSSESSION OR
 EXERCISING ANY RIGHT OF SETOFF OR OTHER REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT, AND
 AGREES THAT IN SUCH EVENT LESSOR MAY WITH OR WITHOUT PROCESS OF LAW AND
 WITHOUT PRIOR HEARING OR DETERMINATION HAVE THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES SET FORTH
 IN THE AFOREMENTIONED LEASE.  LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT FULLY UNDERSTANDS
 THE EFFECT OF THIS WAIVER AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE WAIVER IS FREELY GIVEN BY
 IT.

 32.  DUE ON SALE.  The entire indebtedness under this agreement shall become
 immediately due and payable and in full at the option of lessor, without
 notice, upon a transfer, sale or conveyance of more than 49% of the common or
 other voting stock of lessee.  The non-payment of such shall constitute an
 additional event of default entitling lessor to enforce the provisions of
 Paragraph 15 of the lease agreement.

 33.  A provision of this lease which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
 jurisdiction shall as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
 such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
 provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
 jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
 any other jurisdiction.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, lessor
 hereby waives any provision of law which renders any provision hereof
 prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

 34.  MISCELLANEOUS.  It is understood that this written agreement, and the
 schedules which are or may be attached hereto constitute the entire agreement
 between the parties and no other representation or statements shall be deemed
 binding upon the parties nor shall this agreement be amended, altered or
 modified except by written agreement signed by the parties hereto.  Time is of
                                   -8-
 the essence of this agreement and its provisions.  This lease shall be
 governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
 Wisconsin.

 you to insert in the lease the date of shipment, serial numbers, or other

 Your obligations under the lease shall not become effective until your written
 acceptance of the same.  As Lessor, you shall not be liable to us for our
 refusal to accept delivery of the equipment herein regardless of our reasons
 for nonacceptance nor shall you be liable to us if the Seller herein refuses
 to accept your purchase order regardless of said Seller's reasons for
 nonacceptance.  We further agree that these above proposals shall be

 service charge to compensate you for the expenses incurred by you in relation

 reimbursing you for any other liability you have incurred by reason of your

 having placed purchase order(s), or otherwise, in the event we shall cancel
 the lease prior to your acceptance thereof.  We warrant that all credit and
 all financial information submitted to you is true and correct, and we hereby

          (b) The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the production
of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed by any trust company,
bank, banker or other depository, wherever situated, if such certificate shall
be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein
mentioned such Person had on deposit with such trust company, bank, banker or
other depository, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described;
or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person
holding such

                                      17

Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to
be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of
any Bearer Security continues until (i) another such certificate or affidavit
bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced,
(ii) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, (iii)
such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security or
(iv) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer
Securities may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems
sufficient.

          (c) The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the
Register.

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

          (e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may,
at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record
date for the determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding Section
316(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, any such record date shall be the record date
specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not
more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in
connection therewith and no later than the date such first solicitation is
completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after
such record date, but only the Holders of Registered Securities of record at the
close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the
purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of
Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for
that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record
date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders
      --------
on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the
record date.

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

          Section 1.5 Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Company and Guarantors. Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of
Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made
upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

                                      18
<PAGE>

          (a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or any Guarantor shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Holders or the Company by the
Trustee, or, with respect to notices by the Company, transmitted by facsimile
transmission (confirmed by guaranteed overnight courier) to the following
facsimile number: (804) 782-7855 or to any other facsimile number previously
furnished in writing to the Company by the Trustee, or

          (b) the Company or any Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to it addressed
to it at the address of the Company's principal office specified in the first
paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in
writing to the Trustee by the Company or, with respect to notices by the
Trustee, transmitted by facsimile transmission (confirmed by guaranteed
overnight courier) to the following facsimile number: (804) 965-5403 or to any
other facsimile number previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the
Company.

          Section 1.6 Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides
for notice to Holders of any event, (i) if any of the Securities affected by
such event are Registered Securities, such notice to the Holders thereof shall
be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such
event, at his or her address as it appears in the Register, within the time
prescribed for the giving of such notice, and (ii) if any of the Securities
affected by such event are Bearer Securities, notice to the Holders thereof
shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein or in the terms of such
Bearer Securities expressly provided) if published twice in an Authorized
Newspaper in New York, New York, and in such other city or cities, if any, as
may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1. Such notices shall be deemed to
have been given on the date of such mailing or publication.

          In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail or by
publication, neither the failure to mail or publish such notice, nor any defect
in any notice so mailed or published, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered
Securities or of Bearer Securities.  Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner
herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such
Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

          If by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of
any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice as provided above,
then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall
constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.  If it is
impossible or, in the opinion of the Trustee, impracticable to give any notice
by publication in the manner herein required, then such publication in lieu
thereof as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a
sufficient publication of such notice.

          Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English
language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the
country of publication.

<PAGE>

          Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice
may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing
shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.

          Section 1.7  Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section
headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not
affect the construction hereof.

          Section 1.8  Successor and Assigns. All agreements in this Indenture
by the parties hereto shall bind their respective successors and assigns and
inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, whether so
expressed or not.

          Section 1.9  Separability. In case any provision of this Indenture or
the Securities or the Senior Subordinated Guarantees shall be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

          Section 1.10 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in
the Securities or the Senior Subordinated Guarantees, expressed or implied,
shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Registrar, any
Paying Agent, and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

          Section 1.11 Incorporators, Officers and Directors of the Company
Exempt from Individual Liability. No recourse under or upon any obligation or
agreement of or contained in this Indenture or of or contained in any Security
or interest coupon appertaining thereto, or for any claim based thereon or
otherwise in respect thereof, or because of any indebtedness represented
thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, officer or director, as such,
past, present or future, of the Company or any successor Person, either directly
or through the Company or any successor Person, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty, by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise; it being expressly
understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a
condition of the acceptance of, and as a part of the consideration for the
execution of this Indenture and the issuance of, the Securities and any interest
coupons appertaining thereto.

          Section 1.12 Governing Law; Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. THIS
INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES, THE SENIOR SUBORDINATED GUARANTEES ENDORSED THEREON
AND ANY INTEREST COUPONS APPERTAINING THERETO SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE CONTRACTS
MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SAID STATE
WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES OF SAID STATE. This Indenture is
subject to the Trust Indenture Act and if and to the extent that any provision
hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the Trust Indenture Act, the Trust
Indenture Act shall control.

Whether or not this Indenture is required to be qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act, the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act required to be included
in an indenture in order for such indenture to be so qualified shall be deemed
to be included in this Indenture with the same effect as if such provisions were
set forth herein and any provisions hereof which may not be included in an
indenture which is so qualified shall be deemed to be deleted or modified to the
extent such provisions would be required to be deleted or modified in an
indenture so qualified.

          Section 1.13 Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment
Date, Redemption Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of
any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of any Security or
interest coupon or any Senior Subordinated Guarantee other than a provision in
the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall
apply in lieu of this Section), payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force
and effect as if made on such date; provided that no interest shall accrue on
                                    --------
the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the
case may be, if such amount is so paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

          Section 1.14 Moneys of Different Currencies to Be Segregated. The
Trustee shall segregate all moneys, funds and accounts held by the Trustee
hereunder in one currency from any moneys, funds and accounts held by the
Trustee hereunder in any other currencies, notwithstanding any provision herein
which would otherwise permit the Trustee to commingle such amounts.

          Section 1.15 Independence of Agreements. All agreements in this
Indenture shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or
condition is not permitted by any such agreement, the fact that it would be
permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another
agreement shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if
such action is taken or condition exists.

          Section 1.16 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

          (b) Subject to Section 1.12 and any controlling provision of the Trust
Indenture Act, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this
Indenture and the terms applicable to a series of Securities established in the
manner permitted by Section 3.1(b), the (i) Board Resolution, (ii) Officers'
Certificate or (iii) supplemental indenture setting forth such conflicting term
shall prevail.

          (c) All Securities of any one series and interest coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto shall be substantially identical except as to denomination
and except as may otherwise be provided (i) by a Board Resolution, (ii) by
action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution and (subject to Section 3.3) set
forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the related Officers'
Certificate or (iii) in an indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any
one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a
series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for issuances of
additional Securities of such series.

          (d) If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are
established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of such Board
Resolution shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the
Officers' Certificate setting forth, or providing the manner for determining,
the terms of the Securities of such series, and an appropriate record of any
action taken pursuant thereto in connection with the issuance of any Securities
of such series shall be delivered to the Trustee prior to the authentication and
delivery thereof.

          Section 3.2 Denominations. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated

issuable in the denomination of U.S. $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

to this Indenture.

shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the Chairman of the Board, the
President, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief
Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Vice President of the Company, and need
not be attested. The signatures of any of these officers on the Securities may
be manual or facsimile. The interest coupons, if any, of Bearer Securities shall
bear the facsimile signature of the Chairman of the Board, the President, the
Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial
Officer, the Treasurer or any Vice President of the Company, and need not be
attested.

                                      28
<PAGE>

          Securities and interest coupons bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at any time Officers of the Company shall
bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to be Officers prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Securities or were not Officers at the date of such Securities.

          At any time and from time to time, the Company may deliver Securities,
together with any interest coupons appertaining thereto, of any series executed
by the Company and having endorsed (by attachment or imprint) thereon the Senior
Subordinated Guarantees executed as provided in Section 15.6 by the Guarantors
to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities with such Senior Subordinated
Guarantees endorsed thereon, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities with such Senior
Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon to or upon the order of the Company (as
set forth in such Company Order); provided, however, that, in the case of
                                  --------  -------
Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities from time to time in accordance with
such other procedures (including, without limitation, the receipt by the Trustee
of oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized
agents, promptly confirmed in writing) acceptable to the Trustee as may be
specified by or pursuant to a Company Order delivered to the Trustee prior to
the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series.

          If the form or terms of the Securities with the Senior Subordinated
Guarantees endorsed thereon of a series have been established by or pursuant to
one or more Board Resolutions or one or more indentures supplemental hereto as
permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1, in authenticating such Securities with the
Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities with the
Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive, and (subject to Section 315(a) through (d) of the Trust Indenture
Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon,

          (i) an Opinion of Counsel stating:

          (1) if the form or forms of such Securities and any interest coupons
     with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon have been established
     by or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.1, that such
     forms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
     Indenture;

          (2) if the terms of such Securities and any interest coupons with
     Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon have been, or, in the case
     of Securities of a series with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed
     thereon offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established by or pursuant
     to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.1, that such terms have
     been, or, in the case of Securities of a series with Senior Subordinated
     Guarantees endorsed thereon offered in a Periodic Offering, will be,
     established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, subject,
     in the case of Securities with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed
     thereon offered in a Periodic Offering, to any conditions specified in such
     Opinion of Counsel;

                                      29
<PAGE>

          (3) if the form or terms of such Securities have been established in
     an indenture supplemental hereto, that such supplemental indenture has been
     duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantors
     and, when duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee, will
     constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against the
     Company and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms, subject to (i)
     bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
     other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the
     enforcement of creditors' rights and to general principles of equity
     (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or
     at law), and (ii) such other reasonable exceptions as may be specified in
     such Opinion of Counsel; and

          (4) that such Securities, together with any interest coupons
     appertaining thereto, and the Senior Subordinated Guarantees when issued by
     the Company and the Guarantors and (in the case of the Securities)
     authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in the manner and subject to any
     conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and
     legally binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors,
     respectively, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantors in
     accordance with their terms, subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
     fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of
     general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of
     creditors' rights and to general equity principles (regardless of whether
     enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except
     further as enforcement thereof may be limited by (A) requirements that a
     claim with respect to any Securities or Senior Subordinated Guarantees
     denominated other than in Dollars (or a Foreign Currency or currency unit
     judgment in respect of such claim) be converted into Dollars at a rate of
     exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant to applicable law or (B)
     governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of payments
     in Foreign Currencies or currency units or payments outside the United
     States, and (ii) such other reasonable exceptions as may be specified in
     such Opinion of Counsel; and

          (ii) an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent
provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of such Securities have
been complied with and that, to the knowledge of the signers of such
certificate, no Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have
occurred and be continuing.

          Notwithstanding that such form or terms have been so established, the
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate such Securities if, in
the opinion of the Trustee (after consultation with counsel), the issue of such
Securities pursuant to this Indenture will materially adversely affect the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise or
if the Trustee determines that such authentication may not lawfully be made.

          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and of the two preceding
paragraphs, if all of the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise
required pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel
otherwise required pursuant to the two preceding paragraphs in connection with
the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents, with
appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, are delivered at or
prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such
series to be issued.

                                      30
<PAGE>

          With respect to Securities with Senior Subordinated Guarantees
endorsed thereon of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may
rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities and by
the Guarantors of any such Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon, the
form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and
enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents
delivered pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 3.1 and this Section, as applicable, in
connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series.

          If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.1 that the
Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part as Global
Securities, then the Company and the Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee
shall, in accordance with this Section and the Company Order, with respect to
such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities with Senior
Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon that (i) shall represent and shall be
denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security
or Securities, (ii) shall be registered, if a Registered Security, in the name
of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such
Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or
pursuant to such Depositary's instruction and (iv) shall bear the legend set
forth in Section 2.5.

          Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 3.1 for a Registered
Security in global form must, at the time of its designation and at all times
while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.  If requested by
the Company, the Trustee shall enter into an agreement with a Depositary
governing the respective duties and rights of such Depositary and the Trustee
with regard to Global Securities with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed
thereon.

          Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication
and each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified pursuant to
Section 3.1.

          No Security or interest coupon appertaining thereto or Senior
Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon shall be entitled to any benefits under
this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until such Security has
been authenticated by the manual signature of one of the authorized signatories
of the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent.  Such signature upon any Security
with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon shall be conclusive
evidence, and only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
and that each Senior Subordinated Guarantee endorsed thereon has been duly
endorsed thereon and delivered under this Indenture.  Except as permitted by
Section 3.6 or 3.7, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer
Security unless all appurtenant interest coupons for interest then matured have
been detached and cancelled.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company,
and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as
provided in Section 3.9 together with a written statement (which need not comply
with Section 1.2 hereof and need not be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and
sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be
deemed never

                                      31
<PAGE>

to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture.

          Section 3.4     Temporary Securities.  Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series, the Company and the Guarantors may execute
and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary
Securities with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon of such series
which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor and form,
with or without interest coupons, of the definitive Securities with Senior
Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon in lieu of which they are issued and
with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as the officers executing such Securities and such Senior Subordinated
Guarantees may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such
Securities and interest coupons, if any, and such Senior Subordinated
Guarantees.  In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities
may be Global Securities, representing all or a portion of the Outstanding
Securities of such series.

          Except in the case of temporary Global Securities, each of which shall
be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities
of any series are issued, the Company and the Guarantors will cause definitive
Securities with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon of such series
to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After preparation of definitive
Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be
exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the
temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company
pursuant to Section 9.2 in a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to
the Holder.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Securities of any series (accompanied by any unmatured interest coupons
appertaining thereto), the Company and the Guarantors shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal
amount of definitive Securities with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed
thereon of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor;
provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in
--------  -------
exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further, that no
                                                  -------- -------
definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer
Security unless such delivery shall occur outside the United States.  Until so
exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of
such series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1.

          Section 3.5     Registration, Transfer and Exchange.  The Company
shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any
office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 9.2
in a Place of Payment a register (the "Register") in which, subject to such
                                       --------
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Registered Securities and the registration of transfers of
Registered Securities.  The Register shall be in written form or any other form
capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time.  The
Trustee is hereby initially appointed "Registrar" for the purpose of registering
Registered Securities and transfers of Registered Securities as herein provided.

                                      32
<PAGE>

          Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be
registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to
such Depositary or nominee thereof or to a successor of such Depositary or
nominee thereof, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single
Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

          Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security
of any series at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 9.2 in a
Place of Payment for that series, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities with Senior
Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon of the same series, of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor and containing
identical terms and provisions.

          Bearer Securities (except for any temporary global Bearer Securities)
or any interest coupons appertaining thereto (except for interest coupons
attached to any temporary global Bearer Security) shall be transferable by
delivery.

          At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series
(except a Registered Security in global form) may be exchanged for other
Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations, of a
like aggregate principal amount and tenor and containing identical terms and
provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at such
office or agency.  Whenever any Registered Securities are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities with Senior Subordinated
Guarantees endorsed thereon which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.  Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, Bearer
Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.

          Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, at the
option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of such series may be exchanged for
Registered Securities (if the Securities of such series are issuable in
registered form) or Bearer Securities (if Bearer Securities of such series are
issuable in more than one denomination and such exchanges are permitted by such
series) of the same series, of any authorized denominations, of like aggregate
principal amount and tenor and containing identical terms and conditions, upon
surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency,
with all unmatured interest coupons and all matured interest coupons in default
thereto appertaining.  If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce
any such unmatured interest coupon or coupons or matured interest coupon or
coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are
accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the Trustee in an
amount equal to the face amount of such missing interest coupon or coupons, or
the surrender of such missing interest coupon or interest coupons may be waived
by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee if there be furnished to them
such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any
Paying Agent harmless.  If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall
surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing interest coupon in respect of
which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to
receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise
                                    --------  -------
provided in Section 9.2, interest represented by interest coupons shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of those interest coupons at an

                                      33
<PAGE>

office or agency located outside the United States.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in case any Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such
office or agency in exchange for a Registered Security of the same series after
the close of business at such office or agency on any Regular Record Date and
before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest
Payment Date such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the interest
coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as
the case may be (or, if such interest coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer
Security, such interest coupon shall be returned to the Person so surrendering
the Bearer Security), and interest, will not be payable on such Interest Payment
Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the
Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be
payable only to the Holder of such interest coupon, when due in accordance with
the provisions of this Indenture.

          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the exchange of
Bearer Securities for Registered Securities shall be subject to applicable laws
and regulations in effect at the time of exchange.  Neither the Company, the
Guarantors, the Trustee nor the Registrar shall exchange any Bearer Securities
for Registered Securities if it has received an Opinion of Counsel that as a
result of such exchange the Company would suffer adverse consequences under the
United States Federal income tax laws and regulations then in effect and the
Company has delivered to the Trustee a Company Order directing the Trustee not
to make such exchanges thereafter, unless and until the Trustee receives a
subsequent Company Order to the contrary.  The Company shall deliver copies of
such Company Order to the Registrar.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until
it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in certificated form, a
Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may
not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a
nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary
or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee
to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor
Depositary.

          If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies
the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the
Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of
such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 3.3, the Company shall
appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series.
If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by
the Company prior to the resignation of the Depositary and, in any event, within
90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such
ineligibility, the Company's designation of the Depositary pursuant to Section
3.l(b)(22) shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such
series and the Company and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of certificated
Securities with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon of such series
of like tenor, shall authenticate and deliver.  Securities with Senior
Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon of such series of like tenor in
certificated form, in authorized denominations and in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities of
such series of like tenor in exchange for such Global Security or Securities in
global form.

          The Company may at any time in its sole discretion determine that
Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such a Global Security or
Securities.  In such event

                                      34
<PAGE>

the Company and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a
Company Order for the authentication and delivery of certificated Securities
with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon of such series of like
tenor, shall authenticate and deliver, Securities with Senior Subordinated
Guarantees endorsed thereon of such series of like tenor in certificated form,
in authorized denominations and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security or Securities of such series of like
tenor in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form.

          If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to a
series of Securities, the Depositary for such series may surrender a Global
Security of such series in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such
series in certificated form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company, the
Guarantors and such Depositary.  Thereupon, the Company and the Guarantors shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

     (i) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new certificated Security
     or Securities with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon of the
     same series of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by
     such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such
     Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and

     (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security with Senior Subordinated
     Guarantees endorsed thereon of like tenor in a denomination equal to the
     difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global
     Security and the aggregate principal amount of certificated Securities
     delivered to Holders thereof.

          Upon the exchange of a Global Security with Senior Subordinated
Guarantees endorsed thereon for Securities with Senior Subordinated Guarantees
endorsed thereon in certificated form, such Global Security with Senior
Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon shall be cancelled by the Trustee.
Unless expressly provided with respect to the Securities of any series that such
Security may be exchanged for Bearer Securities, Securities with Senior
Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon in certificated form issued in exchange
for a Global Security with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon
pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such
authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security with Senior
Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon, pursuant to instructions from its
direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in
writing.  The Trustee shall deliver such Securities with Senior Subordinated
Guarantees endorsed thereon to the Persons in whose names such Securities with
Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon are so registered.

          Whenever any Securities are surrendered for exchange, the Company and
the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
the Securities with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

          All Securities with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon
issued upon any registration of transfer or upon any exchange of Securities with
Senior Subordinated

                                      35
<PAGE>

Guarantees endorsed thereon shall be the valid obligations of the Company and
the Guarantors, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture, as the Securities with Senior Subordinated Guarantees
endorsed thereon surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

          Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Guarantors,
the Registrar or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Guarantors, the
Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing.

          No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
for any exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration or transfer or exchange of Securities, other
than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 8.6 or 11.7 not involving any transfer.

          The Company and the Guarantors shall not be required (i) to issue,
register the transfer of, or exchange any Securities with Senior Subordinated
Guarantees endorsed thereon for a period beginning at the opening of business 15
days before any selection for redemption of Securities of like tenor and of the
series of which such Security is a part and ending at the close of business on
the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have
been given to all Holders of Securities of like tenor and of such series to be
redeemed; (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security
with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon so selected for redemption,
in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being
redeemed in part; or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security with Senior
Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon so selected for redemption, except that
such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series
and like tenor; provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously
                --------
surrendered for redemption.

          The foregoing provisions relating to registration, transfer and
exchange may be modified, supplemented or superseded with respect to any series
of Securities by a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental
hereto.

          Section 3.6     Replacement Securities.  If a mutilated Security or a
Security with a mutilated interest coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to
the Trustee, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may
be required by the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee to save each of them
harmless, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver a replacement Registered Security with Senior
Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon, if such surrendered Security was a
Registered Security, or a replacement Bearer Security with Senior Subordinated
Guarantees endorsed thereon with interest coupons corresponding to the interest
coupons appertaining to the surrendered Security, if such surrendered Security
was a Bearer Security, of the same series and date of maturity.

          If there shall be delivered to the Company, the Guarantors and the
Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security or interest coupon

                                      36
<PAGE>

and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Company or the Trustee that such Security or interest coupon has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in lieu of any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed,
lost or stolen interest coupon appertains (with all appurtenant interest coupons
not destroyed, lost or stolen), a replacement Registered Security with Senior
Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon, if such Holder's claim appertains to a
Registered Security with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon, or a
replacement Bearer Security with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon
with interest coupons corresponding to the interest coupons appertaining to the
destroyed, lost or stolen Bearer Security or the Bearer Security to which such
lost, destroyed or stolen interest coupon appertains, if such Holder's claim
appertains to a Bearer Security, of the same series and principal amount,
containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

          In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or
interest coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company
and the Guarantors in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security or
interest coupon with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon, pay such
Security or interest coupon; provided, however, that payment of principal of and
                             --------  -------
any premium or interest on Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided
in Section 9.2, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the
United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1,
any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of the interest coupons appertaining thereto.

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

          Every new Security with Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed
thereon of any series with its interest coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this
Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a
Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen interest coupon appertains, shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and the
relevant Guarantor, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and
its interest coupon, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen interest coupon,
shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities of that series and their interest coupons, if any, duly issued
hereunder.

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

          Section 3.7     Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.    (a)
Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, interest, if any, on
any Registered Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall

                                      37
<PAGE>

be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest at the office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant
to Section 9.2; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, interest
                --------  -------
on any series of Registered Securities that bears interest may be paid (i) by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it shall appear on
the Register of Holders of Securities of such series or (ii) at the expense of
the Company, by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled
thereto as specified in the Register of Holders of Securities of such series.

          Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, (i)
interest, if any, on Bearer Securities shall be paid only against presentation
and surrender of the interest coupons for such interest installments as are
evidenced thereby as they mature and (ii) original issue discount, if any, on
Bearer Securities shall be paid only against presentation and surrender of such
Securities; in either case at the office of a Paying Agent located outside the
United States, unless the Company shall have otherwise instructed the Trustee in
writing, provided that any such instruction for payment in the United States
         --------
does not cause any Bearer Security to be treated as a "registration-required
obligation" under United States laws and regulations.  The interest, if any, on
any temporary Bearer Security shall be paid, as to any installment of interest
evidenced by an interest coupon attached thereto only upon presentation and
surrender of such interest coupon and, as to other installments of interest,
only upon presentation of such Security for notation thereon of the payment of
such interest.  If at the time a payment of principal of or interest, if any, on
a Bearer Security or interest coupon shall become due, the payment of the full
amount so payable at the office or offices of all the Paying Agents outside the
United States is illegal or effectively precluded because of the imposition of
exchange controls or other similar restrictions on the payment of such amount in
Dollars, then the Company may instruct the Trustee in Writing to make such
payments at a Paying Agent located in the United States, provided that provision
                                                         --------
for such payment in the United States would not cause such Bearer Security to be
treated as a "registration-required obligation" under United States laws and
regulations.

          (a)    Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section
3.5, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer
of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to
interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Security.

          (b)    In the case of any Registered Security of a series which is
converted or exchanged after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security the principal of (or
premium, if any, on) which shall become due and payable, whether at a Stated
Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise,
prior to such Interest Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such
Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date
notwithstanding such conversion or exchange and such interest (whether or not
punctually paid or duly provided for) shall be paid to the Person in whose name
that Registered Security (or any one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, unless
otherwise provided with respect to Securities of that series pursuant to Section
3.1(b).

          Section 3.8     Persons Deemed Owners.  Unless otherwise provided as
contemplated by Section 3.1, prior to due presentment of any Registered Security
for registration

                                      38
<PAGE>

of transfer, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such
Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security for
the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject
to Section 3.7) interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the
Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, any Guarantor
or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, the Company,
the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the
Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any
interest coupon as the absolute owner of such Bearer Security or interest coupon
for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bearer Security or interest
coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any
agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

          None of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any agent of the
Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability
for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of
beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security, or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests.  No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security, held on
its behalf by or through a Depositary, shall have any rights under this
Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary may be
treated by the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for
all purposes whatsoever.  With respect to any Global Security, nothing herein
shall prevent the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee, or any agent of the
Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary (or its
nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or impair, as
between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global
Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the
rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security.

          Section 3.9     Cancellation.  All Securities and interest coupons
appertaining thereto, if any, surrendered for payment, redemption, conversion,
registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund
payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered
to the Trustee and, together with the Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed
thereon, shall be promptly cancelled by it.  The Company may at any time deliver
to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities, together with interest coupons
appertaining thereto, if any, previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to
the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for
cancellation any Securities, together with interest coupons appertaining
thereto, if any, previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not
issued and sold, and all Securities and interest coupons so delivered shall,
together with the Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon, be promptly
cancelled by the Trustee.  No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 3.9, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All cancelled Securities and interest
coupons held by the Trustee shall, together with the Senior Subordinated

                                      39
<PAGE>

Guarantees endorsed thereon, be disposed of in accordance with its customary
procedures, and the Trustee shall thereafter deliver to the Company a
certificate with respect to such disposition.

          Section 3.10     Computation of Interest.  Except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, interest on the Securities of each
series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

          Section 3.11     CUSIP Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Securities
may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use and in addition to the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities), and, in such case, the
Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made
         --------
as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

          Section 3.12     Currency and Manner of Payment in Respect of
Securities.  Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant
to Section 3.1, payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if
any, on any Security of such series will be made in the currency or currencies
or currency unit or units in which such Security is payable.  The provisions of
this Section 3.12 may be modified or superseded pursuant to Section 3.1 with
respect to any Securities.

                                  ARTICLE 4.

                          SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

          Section 4.1     Termination of Company's Obligations Under the
Indenture.  This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further
effect as to all Securities issued hereunder, when:

          (a)     either:

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

          (ii) all Securities that have not been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of
redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year, and the
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 U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination
of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, in amounts
as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to
pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Securities not delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation for

                                      40
<PAGE>

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 will occur as a result of the deposit and the
deposit will 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;

          (c)    the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by
it under the Indenture; and

          (d)    the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the
Trustee under the Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of
the Securities at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

          In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers' Certificate and an
opinion of counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to
satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if
money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of
clause (a) of this Section 4.1, the provisions of Section 4.2 and Section 18.6
hereof shall survive.

          Section 4.2     Application of Trust Funds.  Subject to the provisions
of Section 18.6, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1
shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of
the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through
any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and
premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited
with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law.

          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
Government Securities in accordance with Section 4.1 by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company's and any Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 4.1; provided that if the Company has made any payment of
                         --------
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or
Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

                                  ARTICLE 5.

                             DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

          Section 5.1     Events of Default.  An "Event of Default," with
respect to the Securities of any series, means any one of the following events
(whatever the reason for such

                                      41
<PAGE>

Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected

     due by, the terms of a Security of that series; or

     indenture, and the Default continues for the period and after the notice
     specified in the last paragraph of this Section 5.1; or

          (e)    a default or defaults under the terms of one or more
     instruments evidencing or securing Indebtedness of the Company or any
     Restricted Subsidiary of the Company having an outstanding principal amount
     of $10 million or more individually or in the aggregate that has resulted
     in the acceleration of the payment of such Indebtedness or the failure by
     the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay principal when due
     at the stated maturity of any such Indebtedness; or

          (f)    the rendering of a final judgment or final judgments (not
     subject to appeal) against the Company, or any Restricted Subsidiary in an

     for a period of 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal has
     expired; or

          (g)    the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A)

     property of the Company or any Guarantor, or ordering the winding up or
     liquidation of the affairs of the Company or any Guarantor, and the
     continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree
     or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

          (h)    the commencement by the Company or any Guarantor of a voluntary
     case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy,
     insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or

<PAGE>

     bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company or any Guarantor to
     the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any
     Guarantor in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal
     or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to

     Guarantor to the filing of such a petition or to the appointment of or
     taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
     sequestrator or similar official of the Company or any Guarantor or of any
     substantial part of the property of the Company or any Guarantor, or the
     making by the Company or any Guarantor of an assignment for the benefit of
     creditors, or the admission by the Company or any Guarantor in writing of
     its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking
     of corporate action by the Company or any Guarantor in furtherance of any
     such action;

          (i)    the Guarantee of any Guarantor ceases to be in full force and
     effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guarantee and
     hereunder) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be
     invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other
     than by reason of release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee in
     accordance with the terms hereunder and such Guarantee); or

          (j)    any other Event of Default provided as contemplated by Section
     3.1 with respect to Securities of that series.

          A Default under clause (d) is not an Event of Default until the
Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default
in writing and the Company does not cure the Default within 30 days after
receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be
remedied and state that the notice is a "Notice of Default." Such notice shall
be given by the Trustee if so requested by the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. When a Default is cured, it
ceases.

          Section 5.2     Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment.  If an Event
of Default with respect to the Securities (other than an Event of Default
specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 5.1 with respect to the Company)
occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities by notice in writing to
the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders) may declare the unpaid
principal of and accrued interest to the date of acceleration on all the
outstanding Securities to be due and payable immediately and, upon any such
declaration, such principal amount and accrued interest shall become immediately
due and payable.

          If an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 5.1
with respect to the Company occurs all unpaid principal of and accrued interest
on the outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder thereof.

          After a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree
or payment of the money due in respect of the Securities has been obtained, the
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may rescind and
annul an acceleration and its consequences if all existing Events of Default
(other than the nonpayment of principal of and interest on the Securities which
has become due solely by virtue of such acceleration) have been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

          Section 5.3     Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement
by Trustee.  The Company agrees that if

          (a)    default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security
     or interest coupon, if any, when such interest becomes due and payable and
     such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

          (b)    default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium,
     if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities or interest coupons, if any, the whole amount then
due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest
and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable,
interest on any overdue principal, premium, if any, and on any overdue interest,
at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities or interest coupons,
if any, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including all amounts due the
Trustee, its agents and counsel under Section 6.7.

          If the Company or any Guarantor fails to pay such amounts forthwith
upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due
and unpaid and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and
may enforce the same against the Company, any Guarantor, or any other obligor
upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in
the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, any Guarantor or
any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated.

          If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by
such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual
to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein, or to secure any other proper remedy, subject, however, to Section 5.8.

          Section 5.4     Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of any
judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any Guarantor or any other
obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors (or of any Guarantor
or its creditors), the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under
the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee
allowed in any such proceeding.  In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized
to collect and

                                      44
<PAGE>

receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims
and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 6.7.

          No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of
a Security or interest coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder
of a Security or interest coupon thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or interest coupon in any such
proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders,
            --------  -------
vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a
member of a creditors' or other similar committee.

          Section 5.5     Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Securities.  All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the
Securities or any Senior Subordinated Guarantee may be prosecuted and enforced
by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production
thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted
by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust,
and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

          Section 5.6     Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission by
the Trustee or any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in any such Event of Default.

          Section 5.7     Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Holders of not less than
a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any series
by written notice to the Trustee may waive on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series and any interest coupons appertaining thereto a past
Default or Event of Default with respect to that series and its consequences
except a Default or Event of Default (i) in the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Security of such series or any interest
coupon appertaining thereto or (ii) in respect of an agreement or provision
hereof which pursuant to Article 8 cannot be amended or modified without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.
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 5.8 Control by Majority. The Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each
series affected (with each such series voting as a class) shall have the right
to direct the time, method and place of conducting

                                      45
<PAGE>

any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on it with respect to Securities of that series;
provided, however, that (i) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
--------  -------
conflicts with any governmental rule or law or this Indenture, (ii) the Trustee
may refuse to follow any direction that is unduly prejudicial to the rights of
the Holders of Securities of such series not consenting, or that would in the
good faith judgment of the Trustee have a substantial likelihood of involving
the Trustee in personal liability without adequate indemnity having been offered
therefor and (iii) subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee may take any other action
deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

          Section 5.9     Limitation on Suits by Holders.  No Holder of any
Security of any series or any interest coupons appertaining thereto shall have
any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to
this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless:

          (a)    the Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee
     of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that
     series;

          (b)    the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
     the Outstanding Securities of that series have made a written request to
     the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in
     its own name as Trustee hereunder;

          (c)    such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity
     satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to be,
     or which may be, incurred by the Trustee in pursuing the remedy;

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

          (e)    during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in
     aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series
     have not given to the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written
     request;

          provided, however, that the limitations contained in (a) through (e)
          --------  -------
of this Section do not apply to any suit by a Holder of any Security for
enforcement of payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on
such Security on or after the respective due date expressed in such Security.

          No one or more Holders of Securities of a series shall have any right
in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such
Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other
of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such
Holders.

          Section 5.10     Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, but subject to Section
8.2, each of the right of any Holder of a Security or interest coupon to receive
payment of principal of premium, if any, and, subject to

<PAGE>

Sections 3.5 and 3.7, interest on the Security, on or after the respective due
dates expressed in the Security (or, in case of redemption or a required
repurchase by the Company under the terms of the relevant Securities, on the
Redemption Dates or specified repurchase dates), the right of any Holder of an
interest coupon to receive payment of interest due as provided in such interest
coupon, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such respective dates, and the right, if any, to convert or exchange such
Security in accordance with Article 14, is unconditional and shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

          Section 5.11     Application of Money Collected.  If the Trustee
collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the
following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the
distribution of such money on account of principal, premium, if any, or
interest, upon presentation of the Securities and interest coupons, if any, and
the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:

          First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.7;

          Second: to Holders of Securities and interest coupons in respect of
     which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected for amounts
     due and unpaid on such Securities for principal of, premium, if any, and
     interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to
     the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if
     any, and interest, respectively; and

          Third: the balance, if any, to the Company.

          The Holders of each series of Securities denominated in ECU, any other
currency unit or a Foreign Currency and any matured interest coupons relating
thereto shall be entitled to receive a ratable portion of the amount determined
by the Trustee by converting the principal amount Outstanding of such series of
Securities and matured but unpaid interest on such series of Securities in the
currency in which such series of Securities is denominated into Dollars at the
Market Exchange Rate as of the date of declaration of acceleration of Maturity
of the Securities (or, if the default consists of a failure to pay the principal
of such Securities on the Stated Maturity thereof, as of the Stated Maturity
date).

          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders pursuant to this Section 5.11.  At least 15 days before such record
date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Company a notice that states
the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

          Section 5.12     Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Trustee
or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under
this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then
and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.

          Section 5.13     Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or the Holders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

          Section 5.14     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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court
may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the
costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the
manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however,
                                                              --------  -------
that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to
authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment
in any suit instituted by the Company or any Guarantor, any Guarantor, the
Trustee or any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate at least
10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the relevant series or
in any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Security on or after the respective Stated
Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or any
required repurchase by the Company, on or after the Redemption Date or specified
repurchase date).

          Section 5.15     Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.  Each of the
Company and the Guarantors agrees (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any
usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force,
which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of
the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on the Securities
contemplated herein or in the Securities or which may affect the agreements or
the performance of this Indenture or prohibit or forgive any Guarantor from
performance under its Senior Subordinated Guarantee; and each of the Company and
the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and agrees that it will not
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law had been enacted.

          Section 5.16     Conduct of Trustee.  In the case an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of is
power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of his or
her own affairs.

                                  ARTICLE 6.

                                  THE TRUSTEE

          Section 6.1     Certain Duties and Responsibilities.  The duties and
responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own

                                      48
<PAGE>

funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

          Section 6.2     Notice of Defaults.  The Trustee shall, within 30 days
after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the
Securities, give the Holders thereof notice of all uncured Defaults or Events of
Default known to it; provided, however, that, except in the case of an Event of
                     --------  -------
Default in payment with respect to the Securities of a Default or Event of
Default in complying with any additional covenants contemplated by Section 3.1
with respect to Securities of that series and Section 7.1 hereunder, the Trustee
shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Board of
Directors or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that
the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

          Section 6.3     Certain Rights of Trustee.  Subject to the provisions
of Section 6.1:

          (a)    the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or

     instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
     bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
     document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented

     shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
     taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless
     other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
     bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

          (d)    the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of
     such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
     authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or

          (e)    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 pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall

     costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
     with such request or direction;

          (f)    the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into

     bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness

                                      49
<PAGE>

     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 may
     see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry
     or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and
     premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

          (g)    the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
     or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
     attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
     negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by
     it hereunder; and

          (h)    except with respect to Section 9.1, the Trustee shall have no
     duty to inquire as to the performance by the Company or any Guarantor of
     the agreements set forth in Article 9 beyond its good faith review of any
     certificates or other notices received by it from the Company or any
     Guarantor.

          Section 6.4     Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of
Securities.  The recitals contained herein and in the Securities and in the
Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed thereon, except the Trustee's
certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company
or the Guarantors, as the case may be, and neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness.  The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Securities or the Senior Subordinated Guarantees endorsed
thereon.  Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable
for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the
Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity,
may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to the definition of
"Outstanding" set forth in Section 1.1 and subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may
otherwise deal with the Company, any Guarantor and any other obligor upon the
Securities and the Senior Subordinated Guarantees with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security
Registrar or such other agent.

          Section 6.6     Money Held in Trust.  Money held by the Trustee in
trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law or by the provisions of this Indenture.  The Trustee shall be
under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as
otherwise agreed with the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be.

          Section 6.7     Compensation and Reimbursement.  The Company agrees

          (a)    to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation
     for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be

     of an express trust);

          (b)    except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
     Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
     advances incurred or

                                      50
<PAGE>

     made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture
     (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements
     of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or
     advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

          (c)    to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against,
     any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on
     its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
     administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and
     expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection
     with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

          To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 6.7, the
Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities against all money or property
held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or
property held in trust to pay principal of or interest on particular Securities.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 5.1(g) or (h) occurs, the expenses (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the compensation for
the services shall be preferred over the status of the Holders in a proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The Company's obligations under this
Section 6.7 and any claim arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or
removal of any Trustee, the discharge of the Company's obligations pursuant to
Article 17 and any rejection or termination under any Bankruptcy Law.

          Section 6.8     Conflicting Interests.  If the Trustee has or shall
acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act,
the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest within 90 days, apply to the
Commission for permission to continue, or resign, to the extent and in the
manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act
and this Indenture.  To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not
be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this
Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series or a trustee under
any other indenture specified in (A) a Board Resolution, (B) an action taken
pursuant to a Board Resolution and (subject to Section 3.3) set forth in an
Officers' Certificate or (C) one or more indentures supplemental hereto.

at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such, has a combined capital and
surplus of at least $25,000,000.  If such Person publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital
and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  If at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

          Section 6.10     Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor
Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.11.

          The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of
one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company.  If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall
not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series.

          The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities
of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the
Company.

          If at any time:

          (a)    the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 after written
     request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide
     Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

          (b)    the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9 and
     shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
     any such Holder, or

          (c)    the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be
     adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
     property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or
     control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
     rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (1) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (2) subject to Section 5.14, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months
may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all
Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

          If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting,
or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect
to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution,
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the
Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor
Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of
such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.11.  If, within one year after such resignation,
removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee
so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in
accordance with the applicable requirements of

                                      52

Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted
appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of such series. The Company shall give notice of each
resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of
any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the
manner provided in Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office.

          Section 6.11     Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.  In case of
the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities,
every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to the Company, the Guarantors and to the retiring Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the
Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of
its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly
assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money
held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

          In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the
Guarantors, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment
and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable
to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or
desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to
which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the
retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this
Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration
of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that
nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees
co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a
trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of
such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee
shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company, any Guarantor or any
successor

                                      53
<PAGE>

Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder
with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment
of such successor Trustee relates.

          Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company and the
Guarantors shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may
be.

          No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time
of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under
this Article.

          Section 6.12     Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business.  Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business
of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
                                                                 --------
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto.  In case any Securities shall have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor
by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt
such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same
effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

          Section 6.13     Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.
If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any
Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities or the Senior Subordinated
Guarantees endorsed thereon), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company
(or any Guarantor or any such other obligor).

          Section 6.14     Appointment of Authenticating Agent.  The Trustee may
appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of
Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon
exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to
Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated and the Senior Subordinated
Guarantees endorsed thereon shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder.  Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent,
having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $25,000,000 and subject
to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.  If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or

                                      54
<PAGE>

examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital
and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

          Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible
                      --------
under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

          An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company.  The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof
to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.  Upon receiving such a notice
of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such
appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities
of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve.  Any
successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.

          The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.7.

          If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant
to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative
certificate of authentication in the following form:

          This is one of the Securities with the Senior Subordinated Guarantees
endorsed thereon of the series designated therein referred to in the within-
mentioned Indenture.

may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, however, that if the
                                              --------  -------
Securities of that series are listed on The International Stock Exchange of the
United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited, the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and such
stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for
the Securities of that series in London, Luxembourg or any other required city
located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities
of that series are listed on such exchange, and (ii) subject to any laws or
regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency in a Place of Payment for
that series which is located outside the United States, where Securities of that
series may be surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may
be served.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency.  If at
any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency
or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company and each Guarantor hereby
appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands.

          Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, no payment
of principal, premium or interest on Bearer Securities shall be made at any
office or agency of the Company in the United States, by check mailed to any
address in the United States, by transfer to an account located in the United
States or upon presentation or surrender in the United States of a Bearer
Security or interest coupon for payment, even if the payment would be credited
to an account located outside the United States; provided, however, that, if the
                                                 --------  -------
Securities of a series are denominated and payable in Dollars, payment of
principal of and any premium or interest on any such Bearer Security shall be
made at the office of the Company's Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of
such principal, premium or interest, as the case may be, at all offices or
agencies outside the United States maintained for the purpose by the Company in
accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange
controls or other similar restrictions.

          Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, the Company
may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Securities (including any interest coupons, if any) of one or more series
may be presented or surrendered

                                      61
<PAGE>

for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
              --------  -------
any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency
in each Place of Payment for Securities (including any interest coupons, if any)
of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to
the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.

          Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, the Trustee
shall initially serve as Paying Agent.

          Section 9.3     Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust;
Unclaimed Money.  If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent
with respect to any series of Securities and any interest coupons appertaining
thereto, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay
the principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due until such sums
shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and
will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act.

          Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities and any interest coupons appertaining thereto, it will,
prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any
Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay
such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and
(unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

          The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities
other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

          (a)    comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
     applicable to it as a Paying Agent;

          (b)    hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of,
     premium, if any, or interest on Securities of that series in trust for the
     benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to
     such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

          (c)    give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any
     other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any
     payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of
     that series; and

          (d)    at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon
     the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums
     so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

          The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Company Order direct any

                                      62
<PAGE>

Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or
such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the terms set forth
in this Indenture; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee,
such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such money.

          Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Company, in trust for the payment of any principal of or premium or
interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable
shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the
Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security
and interest coupon, if any, shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor,
look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee
or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the
Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
                                                   --------  -------
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
may in the name and at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in
an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment with respect to such series, or
cause to be mailed to such Holder, 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 publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
will be repaid to the Company.

          Section 9.4     Corporate Existence.  Subject to Article 7, the
Company will at all times do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and its
rights and franchises; provided that nothing in this Section 9.4 shall prevent
                       --------
the abandonment or termination of any right or franchise of the Company if it
shall be determined that such abandonment or termination is desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company.

          Section 9.5     Annual Review Certificate.  The Company agrees to
deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company, a certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial
officer, treasurer or principal accounting officer of the Company stating that a
review of the activities of the Company during such year and of performance
under this Indenture has been made under his or her supervision and to the best
of his or her knowledge, based on such review, each of the Company and the
Guarantors has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Indenture throughout
such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such
obligation, specifying each such default known to him or her and the nature and
status thereof.  For purposes of this Section 9.5, such compliance shall be
determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice
provided under this Indenture.

          The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in
any event within 30 days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of an
Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both,
would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers' Certificate setting forth the
details of such Event of Default or Default, and the action which the Company
proposes to take with respect thereto.

          Section 9.6     Maintenance of Properties.  The Company will cause all
properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any
Subsidiary to be maintained

                                      63

and kept in good condition, repair and working order, normal wear and tear
excepted, and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made
all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the
business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously
conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.6
                        --------  -------
shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any
of such properties, or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or
disposition is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its
business or the business of any Subsidiary.

          Section 9.7     Payments of Taxes and Other Claims.  The Company will
pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or
property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies which, in any case described in (1) or (2) above, if
unpaid, might by law become a material lien upon the property of the Company or

or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings, or for which adequate reserves have been
established.

          Section 9.8     Waiver of Certain Agreements.  Except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of such series, the
Company or any Guarantor may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit
in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set
forth in any agreement provided pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(15), 8.1(b) or 8.1(g)
for the benefit of the Holders of such series if before the time for such
compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by act of such Holders in
accordance with Section 1.4, either waive such compliance in such instance or
generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such
waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the
extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the
obligations of the Company and each of the Guarantors and the duties of the
Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full
force and effect.

          Section 11.2     Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.  The election
of the Company to redeem any Securities, including interest coupons, if any,
that, at the time of such election, may be redeemed at the option of the
Company, shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution.  In the case of any such
redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities or
interest coupons, if any, of any series, the Company shall, at least 45 days
prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall
be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of
the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if
applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed.  In the case of any
redemption of Securities (i) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture or (ii) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a
condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall furnish
the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such

          Section 11.3     Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed.  Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, selection of Securities for
any partial redemption shall be made by the Trustee, in accordance with the

                                         --- ----
the Trustee shall deem appropriate and fair.  Securities in denominations larger
than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000.
On and after the date fixed for redemption, interest will cease to accrue on the

          Section 11.4     Notice of Redemption.  Unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1, notice of redemption shall be given in the manner
provided in Section 1.6 not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the

          (f)    that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become
     due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion thereof, to be
     redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on
     and after said date;

          (g)    that the redemption is from a sinking fund, if such is the
     case;

          (h)    that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer
     Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be
     accompanied by all interest coupons maturing subsequent to the Redemption
     Date or the amount of any such missing interest coupon or interest coupons
     will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity
     satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and any Paying Agent is furnished;

          (i)    the CUSIP number, if any, of the Securities;

          (j)    if applicable, the conversion or exchange price, the date on

          (k)    the procedures that a Holder must follow to surrender the

or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
the Company.

          Section 11.5     Deposit of Redemption Price.  On or prior to any
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold
in trust as provided in Section 9.3) an amount of money in the currency or
currencies (including currency unit or units) in which the Securities of such
series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for
the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the
Redemption Price of, and (unless the Redemption Date shall be an Interest
Payment Date) interest accrued to the Redemption Date on, all Securities or
portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

          Unless any Security by its terms prohibits any redemption obligation
from being satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities (including
Securities redeemed otherwise than through a sinking fund), the Company may
deliver such Securities to the Trustee for crediting of an amount equal to the
then applicable Redemption Price for such Securities against such payment
obligation in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture.

          Section 11.6     Securities Payable on Redemption Date.  Notice of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price
therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall
default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such
Securities shall cease to bear interest and the interest coupons for any such
interest appertaining to any Bearer Security so to be redeemed, except to the
extent provided below, shall be void.  Except as provided in the next succeeding
paragraph, upon surrender of any such Security, including interest coupons, if
any, for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid
by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the
Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Bearer
                 --------  -------
Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be
payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and its
possessions (except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2) and, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, only upon presentation and surrender
of interest coupons for such interest; and provided further, that, unless
                                           -------- -------
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, installments of interest on
Registered Securities that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates that
are on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the
close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms
and the provisions of Section 3.7.

          If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant interest coupons maturing after the Redemption
Date, such Bearer Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price
an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing interest coupons, or the
surrender of such missing interest coupon or interest coupons may be waived by
the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or
indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent
harmless.  If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Security shall surrender to
the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing interest coupon in respect of
which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder
shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that
                                                     --------  -------
interest represented by interest coupons shall be payable only at an office or
agency located outside of the United States (except as otherwise provided
pursuant to Section 9.2) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.1, only upon presentation and surrender of those interest coupons.

          If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and premium, if any, shall,
until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed
therefor in the Security.

          Section 11.7     Securities Redeemed in Part.  Upon surrender of a
Security that is redeemed in part at any Place of Payment therefor (with, if the
Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed
by, the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing), the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder of that Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities
(each with a Senior Subordinated Guarantee of each Guarantor executed by each
such Guarantor and endorsed thereon) of the same series, having the same form,
terms and Stated Maturity, in any

                                      68
<PAGE>

authorized denomination equal in aggregate principal amount to the unredeemed
portion of the principal amount of the Security surrendered.

                                 SINKING FUNDS

          Section 12.1     Applicability of Article.  The provisions of this
Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities
of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for
Securities of such series.

          The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking
fund payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional
sinking fund payment."  If provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction
as provided in Section 12.2.  Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of
Securities of such series.

          Section 12.2     Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with
Securities.  The Company (i) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series
(other than any previously called for redemption) together, in the case of
Bearer Securities of such series, with all unmatured interest coupons
appertaining thereto and (ii) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which
have been (x) redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the
terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional
sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, (y) converted or
exchanged pursuant to Article 14 or (z) previously delivered to the Trustee and
cancelled without reissuance pursuant to Section 3.9, in each case in
satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the
Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such
Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such
                                                        --------
Securities have not been previously so credited.  Such Securities shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price
specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking
fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of

specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series
pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to

                                  ARTICLE 14.

                     CONVERSION OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES

          Section 14.1  Applicability of Article.  The provisions of this
Article 14 shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are
convertible or exchangeable into Equity Interests of the Company, and to the
issuance of such Equity Interests upon the conversion or exchange of such
Securities, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for the
Securities of such series.

          Section 14.2   Exercise of Conversion or Exchange Privilege.  (a)
In order to exercise a conversion or exchange privilege, the Holder of a
Security of a series with such privilege shall surrender such Security,
together, in the case of any Bearer Security, with all unmatured interest
coupons and any matured interest coupons in default appertaining thereto, to the
Company at the office or agency maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section
9.2, accompanied by written notice to the Company that the Holder elects to
convert or exchange such Security or a specified portion thereof.  Such notice
shall also state, if different from the name and address of such Holder, the
name or names (with address) in which the certificate or certificates for Equity
Interests which shall be issuable on such conversion or exchange shall be
issued.  Registered Securities surrendered for conversion or exchange shall (if
so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by or accompanied by
instruments of transfer in forms satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee
duly executed by the registered Holder or its attorney duly authorized in
writing.

          (a)    As promptly as practicable after the receipt of such notice and
of any payment required pursuant to a Board Resolution establishing the terms of
any series of Securities and, subject to Section 3.3, set forth, or determined
in the manner provided, in an Officers' Certificate, or established in one or
more indentures supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of such series of
Security, and the surrender of such Security in accordance with such reasonable
regulations as the Company may prescribe. The Company shall issue and shall
deliver, at the office or agency at which such Security is surrendered, to such
Holder or on its written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of
Equity Interests issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Security (or
specified portion thereof), in accordance with the provisions of such Board
Resolution, Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture, and cash as
provided therein in respect of any fractional share of such Equity Interest
otherwise issuable upon such conversion or exchange.

          (b)    Such conversion or exchange shall be deemed to have been
effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which such
notice and such payment, if required, shall have been received in proper order
for conversion or exchange by the Company and such Security shall have been
surrendered as aforesaid and at such time the rights of the Holder of such
Security as such Security Holder shall cease and the person or persons in whose
name or names any certificate or certificates for Equity Interests of the
Company shall be issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be deemed to
have become the Holder or Holders of record of the Equity Interests represented
thereby.  Except as set forth above and subject to paragraph (d) of Section 3.7,
no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion or exchange on
account of any interest accrued on the Securities surrendered for

                                      73
<PAGE>

conversion or exchange, or on account of any dividends on the Equity Interests
of the Company issued upon such conversion or exchange if the record date for
the payment of such dividends occurs prior to or on the date on which such
conversion or exchange shall be deemed to have been effected.

          In the case of any Security which is converted or exchanged in part
only, upon such conversion or exchange the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the
expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of
authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted
or unexchanged portion of such Security.

          Any requirements for notice, surrender or delivery of Securities
pursuant to this Article Fourteen shall, with respect to any Global Security, be
subject to any Applicable Procedures.

          Section 14.3  No Fractional Equity Interests.  No fractional Equity
Interest of the Company shall be issued upon conversions or exchanges of
Securities of any series.  If more than one Security shall be surrendered for
conversion or exchange at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares
of the Equity Interest which shall be issuable upon conversion or exchange shall
be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or
specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered.  If,
except for the provisions of this Section 14.3, any Holder of a Security or
Securities would be entitled to a fractional share of any Equity Interest of the
Company upon the conversion or exchange of such Security or Securities, or
specified portions thereof, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in
cash equal to the current market value of such fractional share computed, (i) if
such Equity Interest is listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a
national securities exchange, on the basis of the last reported sale price
regular way on the principal exchange where such Equity Interest is listed or
admitted, on the last trading day prior to the date of conversion or exchange
upon which such a sale shall have been effected, (ii) if such Equity Interest is
not at the time so listed or admitted on a national securities exchange but is
quoted on the National Market System of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("Nasdaq"), on the basis of the average of the last bid and asked
prices of such Equity Interest on Nasdaq on the last trading day prior to the
date of conversion or exchange, (iii) if such Equity Interest is not at the time
so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities
exchange or quoted on Nasdaq, on the basis of the average of the last bid and
asked prices of such Equity Interest in the over-the-counter market, on the last
trading day prior to the date of conversion or exchange, as reported by the
National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or similar organization if the National
Quotation Bureau Incorporated is no longer reporting such information, or (iv)
in accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture or Board Resolutions
setting the terms of the Securities of such series.  For purposes of this
Section, "trading day" shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday other than any day on which the applicable Equity Interest is not traded
or quoted on a national securities exchange, or if the applicable Equity
Interest is not traded or quoted on a national securities exchange, on Nasdaq or
the principal exchange or market on which the applicable Equity Interest is
traded or quoted.

          Section 14.4  Adjustment of Conversion or Exchange Price;
Consolidation or Merger. The conversion or exchange price of Securities of any
series that is convertible or

                                      74
<PAGE>

exchangeable into an Equity Interest of the Company shall be adjusted for any
stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, combinations or similar
transactions, and the securities, assets or other property into or for which
such Securities may be converted or exchanged as a result of any consolidation,
merger, combination or similar transaction shall be determined, in accordance
with the terms of the supplemental indenture or Board Resolutions setting the
terms of the Securities of such series.

          Whenever the conversion or exchange price is adjusted, the Company
shall compute the adjusted conversion or exchange price in accordance with the
terms of the applicable Board Resolution or supplemental indenture and shall
prepare an Officers' Certificate setting forth the adjusted conversion or
exchange price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such
adjustment is based.  Whenever the securities, assets or other property into or
for which Securities of any series may be converted or exchanged are changed as
a result of any consolidation, merger or similar transaction, the Company shall
determine the nature and amount of such securities, assets or other property in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Board Resolution or supplemental
indenture and shall prepare an Officers' Certificate describing such securities,
assets or other property and stating the amount of such securities, assets or
other property into or for which such Securities have become convertible or
exchangeable.  Such certificates shall forthwith be filed at each office or
agency maintained for the purpose of conversion or exchange of Securities
pursuant to Section 9.2 and, if different, with the Trustee and the Company
shall forthwith cause a notice setting forth the adjusted conversion or exchange
price or describing such securities, assets or other property, as applicable, to
be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities
of such series at its address appearing on the Register and to any conversion or
exchange agent other than the Trustee and shall give notice to the Holder of
Bearer Securities as provided in 1.6.

          Section 14.5  Notice of Certain Corporate Actions. If any series of
Securities which are directly or indirectly convertible or exchangeable for any
Equity Interests are Outstanding, in case:

          (a)    the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
     distribution) on any class of such Equity Interests (i) payable otherwise
     than exclusively in cash out of its retained earnings, or (ii) exclusively
     in cash out of its retained earnings in an amount that, under the terms of
     such Securities, would require an adjustment in the exchange or conversion
     price of such Securities; or

          (b)    the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of any
     class of such Equity Interests of rights, options or warrants to subscribe

     rights; or

          (c)    of any reclassification of any class of such Equity Interests
     (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of such
     Equity Interests), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company
     is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is
     required, or of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
     Company; or

     offer);

then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee, and shall cause to be
mailed to all Holders at their addresses as they shall appear in the Register
and shall give notice to the Holder of Bearer Securities as provided in Section
1.6, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clause (a) or (b)
above) prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to

offer commenced, the date on which such tender or exchange offer is scheduled to
expire unless extended, the consideration offered and the other material terms
thereof (or the material terms of any amendment thereto).  If at any time the
Trustee shall not be the conversion or exchange agent, a copy of such notice
shall also forthwith be filed by the Company with the Trustee.

          Section 14.6  Reservation of Equity Interests. The Company shall at
all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its
authorized but unissued Equity Interests, solely for the purpose of effecting
the conversion or exchange of Securities, the full number of Equity Interests of

any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue
and delivery of its Equity Interests in a name other than that of the Holder of
the Security or Securities to be converted or exchanged, and no such issue or
delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has
paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the
satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.

          Section 14.8  Duties of Trustee Regarding Conversion or Exchange.
Neither the Trustee nor any conversion or exchange agent shall at any time be
under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities of any series that
is convertible or exchangeable into Equity Interests of the Company to determine

exchange price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment
when made, or with respect to the method employed, whether herein or in any

supplemental indenture, any resolutions of the Board of Directors or written
instrument executed by one or more officers of the Company provided to be
employed in making the same.  Neither the Trustee nor any conversion or exchange
agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or
amount) of any Equity Interests of the Company, or of any securities or
property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion or
exchange of any Securities and neither the Trustee nor any conversion or
exchange agent makes any representation with respect thereto.  Subject to the

          Section 15.1  Unconditional Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby
unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees to each Holder of a Security
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors

hereof and thereof; subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section
15.4. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions
hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action
to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court
in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever
and covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture, and
this Guarantee. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or
otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar

                                      77
<PAGE>

official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by
the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to

obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 5 for
the purpose of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations
as provided in Article 5, such obligations (whether or not due and payable)
shall forth become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this
Guarantee.

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

          Section 15.3   Release of a Guarantor

          .  If any Guarantor is released from its guarantee and all other
obligations (including any Liens) in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility or
if the Securities are defeased in accordance with the terms of this Indenture,
then such Guarantor shall be deemed released from all obligations under this
Article 15 without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder. The Trustee shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Company and upon
receipt at the reasonable request of the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that
the provisions of this Section 15.3 have been complied with, deliver an
appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the
Company accompanied by an Officers' Certificate certifying as to the compliance
with this Section. Any Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full
amount of principal of and interest on the Securities and the other obligations
of the Company hereunder as provided in this Article 15.

          Section 15.4   Limitation of Guarantor's Liability.  Each Guarantor,
and by its acceptance hereof each Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirms that
it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Guarantor
pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for
purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
U.S. Federal or state or other applicable law. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Holders and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the
obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be limited to the
maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed
liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or
payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to Section
15.5, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not
constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

          Section 15.5   Contribution.  In order to provide for just and
equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se,
that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a
"Funding Guarantor") under the Guarantee, such
 -----------------

                                      78
<PAGE>

Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors
in a pro rata amount, based on the net assets of each Guarantor (including the
Funding Guarantor), determined in accordance with GAAP, subject to Section 15.4,
for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in
discharging the Company's obligations with respect to the Securities or any
other Guarantor's obligations with respect to the Guarantee.

          Section 15.6   Execution of Guarantee.  To further evidence their
Guarantee to the Holders, the Guarantors hereby agree to execute the Guarantee
in substantially the form set forth in Section 2.3 hereto to be endorsed on each
Security ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 15.1 shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each
Security a notation of such Guarantee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed on
behalf of each Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board, its President or one of
its Vice Presidents prior to the authentication of the Security on which it is
endorsed, and the delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such
Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor. Such signature upon the Guarantee may be
manual or facsimile signature of such officer and may be imprinted or otherwise
reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case such officer who shall have signed the
Guarantee shall cease to be such officer before the Security on which such
Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
or disposed of by the Company, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated
and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed the Guarantee had
not ceased to be such officer of the Guarantor.

          Section 15.7   Additional Guarantors.  The Company shall cause each
Restricted Subsidiary which guarantees or otherwise provides credit support
(pursuant to the grant of a security interest or otherwise) for any obligation
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Revolving Credit Facility
and each future Restricted Subsidiary that guarantees or otherwise provides
credit support (pursuant to the grant of a security interest or otherwise) for
any obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Revolving
Credit Facility will become a Guarantor of the Securities; provided, however,
that any Restricted Subsidiary acquired after the Issue Date which is prohibited
from entering into a Guarantee pursuant to restrictions contained in any debt
instrument or other agreement in existence at the time such Restricted
Subsidiary was so acquired and not entered into in anticipation or contemplation
of such acquisition shall not be required to comply with the foregoing
provisions of this Section so long as any such restriction is in existence and
to the extent of any such restriction.

          Section 15.8   Subordination of Subrogation and Other Rights.  Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that any claim against the Company that arises from the
payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor's obligations under its
Guarantee or this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of
subrogation, shall be subject and subordinate to, and no payment with respect to
any such claim of such Guarantor shall be made before, the payment in full in
cash of all outstanding Securities in accordance with the provisions provided
therefor in this Indenture.

          Section 15.9   Subordination of Guarantee.  The Obligations of each
Guarantor under its Guarantee are junior and subordinated to the prior payment
in full of all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor in the same
fashion and to the same extent as the

                                      79
<PAGE>

Securities are junior and subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company
pursuant to this Indenture, including Article 17. For the purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the Trustee and the Holders (i) shall have the right to
receive and/or retain payments by, or other distributions of or in respect of
the assets of, any of the Guarantors only under the same circumstances and at
such times as they may receive and/or retain payments in respect of the
Securities pursuant to this Indenture, including Article 17, and (ii) with
respect to such Guarantees, shall be subject to all provisions of Article 17 as
if such provisions specifically applied to the Guarantees as well as the
Securities.

                                  ARTICLE 16.

                JURISDICTION AND CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS

          Section 16.1   Jurisdiction and Consent to Service of Process.  (a)
Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in
New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to the Securities, the Senior Subordinated
Guarantees, this Indenture, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment,
and each of such Persons hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined
in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal
court.  Each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees that a final judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Article 16 shall affect any right that any Holder or the Trustee
may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to the Securities,
the Senior Subordinated Guarantees, this Indenture Agreement against the
Company, any Guarantor or their respective properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

          (a)    Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Securities, the
Senior Subordinated Guarantees or this Indenture in any New York State or
Federal court.  Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

          (b)    Each of the Company and the Guarantors irrevocably consents to
service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 1.5.  Nothing
in this Agreement will affect the right of any Holder or the Trustee to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.

                                  ARTICLE 17.

                          SUBORDINcATION OF SECURITIES

          Section 17.1   Securities Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness.

                                      80
<PAGE>

          The Company covenants and agrees, and the Trustee and each Holder of
the Securities by his or her acceptance thereof likewise covenant and agree,
that all Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article;
and each Person holding any Security, whether upon original issue or upon
transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees that all payments
of the principal of and interest on the Securities by the Company shall, to the
extent and in the manner set forth in this Article, be subordinated and junior
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all amounts payable under
all Senior Indebtedness.

          Section 17.2   No Payment on Securities in Certain Circumstances.

          (a)    No direct or indirect payment by or on behalf of the Company of
principal of or interest on the Securities, whether pursuant to the terms of the
Securities, upon acceleration or otherwise, shall be made if, at the time of
such payment, there exists a default in the payment of all or any portion of the
obligations on any Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether at maturity, on
account of mandatory redemption or prepayment, acceleration or otherwise (and
the Trustee has received written notice thereof), and such default shall not
have been cured or waived or the benefits of this sentence waived by or on
behalf of the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness. In addition,
during the continuance of any non-payment default or non-payment event of
default with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the
maturity thereof may be accelerated, and upon receipt by the Trustee of written
notice (a "Payment Blockage Notice") from the holder or holders of such
Designated Senior Indebtedness or the trustee or agent acting on behalf of such
Designated Senior Indebtedness, then, unless and until such default or event of
default has been cured or waived or has ceased to exist or such Designated
Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or repaid in full, no direct or indirect
payment shall be made by or on behalf of the Company of principal of or interest
on the Securities, except from those funds held in trust for the benefit of the
Holders of any Securities to such Holders, during a period (a "Payment Blockage
Period") commencing on the date of receipt of such notice by the Trustee and
ending 179 days thereafter.

          Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Securities to the contrary,
(x) in no event shall a Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the
date the Payment Blockage Notice in respect thereof was given and (y) in no
event shall a Payment Blockage Notice be effective for purposes of this Section
17.2(a) unless and until 360 days shall have elapsed since the effectiveness of
the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice. Not more than one Payment
Blockage Period may be commenced with respect to the Securities during any
period of 360 consecutive days. No default or event of default that existed or
was continuing on the date of commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with
respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment Blockage
Period may be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of any other Payment
Blockage Period by the holder or holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness
or the trustee or agent acting on behalf of such Designated Senior Indebtedness,
whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or
event of default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90
consecutive days.

          (b)    In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment
shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder when such payment is prohibited
by Section 17.2(a), such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Designated Senior
Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or

                                      81
<PAGE>

trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, but
only to the extent that, upon notice from the Trustee to the holders of
Designated Senior Indebtedness that such prohibited payment has been made, the
holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness (or their representative or
representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing of the amounts then
due and owing on the Designated Senior Indebtedness, if any, and only the
amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of
Designated Senior Indebtedness.

          Section 17.3   Payment Over of Proceeds upon Dissolution, etc.

          (a)    Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities of the
Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, upon
any dissolution or winding-up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization
of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or other proceedings, all amounts due or to become due with respect
to Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full before the Holders of the
Securities or the Trustee on behalf of such Holders shall be entitled to receive
any payment by the Company of the principal of or interest on the Securities, or
any payment to acquire any of the Securities for cash, property or securities,
or any distribution with respect to the Securities of any cash, property or
securities. Before any payment may be made by, or on behalf of, the Company of
the principal of or interest on the Securities upon any such dissolution or
winding-up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment or distribution of
assets or securities of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee on
their behalf would be entitled, but for the subordination provisions of this
Indenture, shall be made by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution, directly to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to
                                                                  --- ----
such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held
by such holders) or their representatives or to the trustee or trustees under
any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been
issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay
all such Senior Indebtedness in full after giving effect to any concurrent
payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness.

          (b)    In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provision
prohibiting such payment or distribution, any payment or distribution of assets
or securities of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property
or securities, shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder of Securities at a
time when such payment or distribution is prohibited by Section 17.3(a) and
before all obligations in respect of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full, or
payment provided for, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in
trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of
Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective
                     --- ----
amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders) or their respective
representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to
which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective
interests may appear, for application to the payment of Senior Indebtedness
remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full after
giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to
or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

<PAGE>

          (c)    For purposes of this Section, the words "cash, property or
securities" shall not be deemed to include, so long as the effect of these
clauses (x) and (y) is not to cause the Securities to be treated in any case or
proceeding or similar event described in this Section as part of the same class
of claims as the Senior Indebtedness or any class of claims on a parity with or
senior to the Senior Indebtedness for any payment or distribution, (x) any
payment or distribution of securities of the Company or any other corporation
authorized by an order or decree giving effect, and stating in such order or
decree that effect is given, to the subordination of the Securities to the
Senior Indebtedness, and made by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
reorganization proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law, or (y) securities of the Company or any other corporation provided
for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which are subordinated, to at
least the same extent as the Securities, to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness then outstanding (the securities described in clauses (x) and (y)
being hereinafter referred to as "Subordinated Reorganization Securities");
                                  --------------------------------------
provided, however, that (i) if a new corporation results from such
--------  -------
reorganization or readjustment, such corporation assumes the Senior Indebtedness
and (ii) the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not, without
the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment.

          The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company
with or into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the
Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or
substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and
conditions provided in Article 7 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section if such other
corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or
transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article 7.

          Section 17.4   Subrogation.

          Upon the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, or provision for
payment, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash,
property or securities of the Company made on such Senior Indebtedness until the
principal of and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the
purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of
the Securities or the Trustee on their behalf would be entitled except for the
provisions of this Article, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of
this Article to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities
or the Trustee on their behalf shall, as between the Company, its creditors
other than holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be
deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior
Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of this Article are and are
intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders
of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness,
on the other hand.

          If any payment or distribution to which the Holders of the Securities
would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article shall
have been applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Article, to the payment of
all amounts payable under Senior Indebtedness, then and in such case, the
Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to receive

                                      83
<PAGE>

from the holders of such Senior Indebtedness any payments or distributions
received by such holders of Senior Indebtedness in excess of the amount required
to make payment in full, or provision for payment, of such Senior Indebtedness.

          Section 17.5   Obligations of Company Unconditional.

          Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company and the
Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and
interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative
rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than
the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein
prevent the Holder of any Security or the Trustee on their behalf from
exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under
this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders
of the Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the
Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in
this Article shall restrict the right of the Trustee or the Holders of
Securities to take any action to declare the Securities to be due and payable
prior to their stated maturity pursuant to Section 5.1 or to pursue any rights
or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that all Senior Indebtedness then due
and payable shall first be paid in full before the Holders of the Securities or
the Trustee are entitled to receive any direct or indirect payment from the
Company of principal of or interest on the Securities.

          Section 17.6    Notice to Trustee.

          The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or
by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this
Article. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any
default or event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness or of any
other facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee
unless and until the Trustee shall have received notice in writing at its
Corporate Trust Office to that effect signed by an Officer of the Company, or by
a holder of Senior Indebtedness or trustee or agent therefor; and prior to the
receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall, subject to Article 6, be
entitled to assume that no such facts exist; provided that if the Trustee shall
not have received the notice provided for in this Section at least two Business
Days prior to the date upon which by the terms of this Indenture any moneys
shall become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment
of the principal of or interest on any Security), then, regardless of anything
herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to
receive any moneys from the Company and to apply the same to the purpose for
which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date. Nothing
contained in this Section 17.6 shall limit the right of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness to recover payments as contemplated by Section 17.3. The Trustee
shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person
representing himself or itself to be a holder of any Senior Indebtedness (or a
trustee on behalf of,

                                      84
<PAGE>

or other representative of, such holder) to establish that such notice has been
given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or representative on
behalf of any such holder.

          In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that any
evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of
Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to
this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness
held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate
in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of
such Person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the
Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as
to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

          Section 17.7   Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of
Liquidating Agent.

          Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities referred to
in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled
to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in
which bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization
proceedings are pending, or upon a certificate of the receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or
distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities for
the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of
the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid
or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.

          Section 17.8   Trustee's Relation to Senior Indebtedness.

          The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall be entitled to all the rights
set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at
any time be held by it in its individual or any other capacity to the same
extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture
shall deprive the Trustee or any Paying Agent of any of its rights as such
holder.

          With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee
undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations
as are specifically set forth in this Article, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe
any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (except as provided in
Section 17.3(b)).

          Section 17.9   Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions
of the Company or Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

          No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness
to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company
or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any
noncompliance by the Company with the terms of this Indenture, regardless of any
knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged

                                      85
<PAGE>

with. The provisions of this Article are intended to be for the benefit of, and
shall be enforceable directly by, the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

          Section 17.10   Holders Authorize Trustee To Effectuate Subordination
of Securities.

          Each Holder of Securities by his acceptance of such Securities
authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action
as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in
this Article, and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purposes,
including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business and assets
of the Company, the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of its or his
Securities in the form required in those proceedings.

          Section 17.11   This Article Not To Prevent Events of Default.

          The failure to make a payment on account of principal of or interest
on the Securities by reason of any provision of this Article shall not be
construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in
clause (1) or (2) of Section 5.1.

          Section 17.12   Trustee's Compensation Not Prejudiced.

          Nothing in this Article shall apply to amounts due to the Trustee
pursuant to other sections in this Indenture.

          Section 17.13   No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

          Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 17.9, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without
the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities,
without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without
impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the
obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place
or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior
Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which
Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or secured; (b) sell, exchange, release or
otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior
Indebtedness; (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of
Senior Indebtedness and (d) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
against the Company and any other Person.

          Section 17.14   Subordination Provisions Not Applicable to Money
Held in Trust for Holders; Payments May Be Paid Prior to Dissolution.

          All money and U.S. Government Obligations deposited in trust with the
Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with Article 4 shall be for the sole
benefit of the Holders and shall not be subject to this Article 17.

                                      86
<PAGE>

          Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture shall
prevent (i) the Company, except under the conditions described in Section 17.2,

                   LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

          Section 18.1    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 Officers' Certificate, at any time, elect to
have either Section 18.2 or 18.3 hereof be applied to all outstanding Securities
and all outstanding Security Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set
forth below in this Article 18.

          Section 18.2    Legal Defeasance and Discharge.  Upon the Company's
exercise under Section 18.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
18.2, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 18.4 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations
with respect to all outstanding Securities and the Guarantors shall, subject the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 18.4 hereof, be deemed to
have been discharged from their obligations with respect o all outstanding
Security Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance").  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means
               ----------------
that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities and the Guarantors shall
be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
outstanding Security Guarantees, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
"outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 18.5 hereof and the other
Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have
satisfied all their other obligations under such Securities and Security
Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense
of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except
for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder:  (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities to
receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 18.4 hereof, and as more
fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Securities
when such payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such
Securities under Article 3

                                      87
<PAGE>

and Section 9.2 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of
the Trustee hereunder and the Company's obligations in connection therewith and
(d) this Article 18. Subject to compliance with this Article 18, the Company may
exercise its option under this Section 18.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 18.3 hereof.

          Section 18.3   Covenant Defeasance.  Upon the Company's exercise
under Section 18.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 18.3, the
Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 18.4 hereof, be released from their obligations under the
certain covenants as to be specified in the relevant supplemental indenture with
respect to the outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set
forth in Section 18.4 are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and
                                                   -------------------
the Securities 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 Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes).  For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to
the outstanding Securities, the Company 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 not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership,
rehabilitation and insolvency events shall not constitute a Default or an Event
of Default under Section 5.1 hereof, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.  In
addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section 18.1 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 18.3 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 18.4 hereof, Sections 5.1(d) through (f) hereof
shall not constitute Events of Default.

          Section 18.4   Conditions of Legal or Covenant Defeasance.  The
following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 18.2 or
18.3 hereof to the outstanding Securities:

          In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

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

          (b)    in the case of an election under Section 18.2 hereof, the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Company has received from, or
there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) 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 Securities
will not

                                      88
<PAGE>

recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of
such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

          (c)    in the case of an election under Section 18.3 hereof, the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding
Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as
would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

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

          (e)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result
in 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;

          (f)    the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent
of preferring the Holders of Securities over any other creditors of the Company
or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other
creditors of the Company or others; and

          (g)    the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant
Defeasance have been complied with.

          Section 18.5   Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held
in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.  Subject to Section 18.6 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 18.5, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 18.4 hereof in
respect of the outstanding Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities 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 Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in
respect of principal, premium, if any, and 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 18.4 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
Securities.

          Anything in this Article 18 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

                                      89
<PAGE>

non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 18.4 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 18.4(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 18.6    Repayment to Company.  Any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, 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 Security shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment
thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall
thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
                 --------  -------
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the
Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street
Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,
after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the
date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money
then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

          Section 18.7    Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is
unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities
in accordance with Section 18.2 or 18.3 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of
any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company's
obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 18.2 or 18.3
hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all
such money in accordance with Section 18.2 or 18.3 hereof, as the case may be;
provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of,
--------  -------
premium, if any, or interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or
Paying Agent.
