                  Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by
original or facsimile signature.

                  If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds
that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security
shall be valid nevertheless.

                  A Security shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs
the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be
conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this
Indenture.

                  Upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers or
by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of the Company, the Trustee shall
authenticate the Securities.

                  The Trustee shall authenticate (i) Initial Securities for
original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200,000,000 and
(ii) Exchange Securities for issue only in a registered Exchange Offer, pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement, for a like principal amount of Initial
Securities, in each case upon a written order of the Company in the form of an
Officers' Certificate of the Company. Each such written order shall specify the
amount of Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the Securities
are to be authenticated, whether the Securities are to be Initial Securities or
Exchange Securities and whether the Securities are to be issued as Physical
Securities or Global Securities or such other information as the Trustee may
reasonably request. In addition, with respect to authentication pursuant to
clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph, the first such written

issuance of the Exchange Securities complies with this Indenture and has been
duly author-

<PAGE>
                                      -13-

ized by the Company. The aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding

                  The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form
without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in integral
multiples of $1,000 in denominations above $1,000.

authentication, respectively, of the Securities, expressly agree to the terms
and conditions stated therein and to be bound thereby.

                  SECTION 2.03. REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT.

                  The Company shall maintain an office or agency where the
Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
("Registrar") and an office or agency where the Securities may be presented for
payment ("Paying Agent"). At all times the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall
each maintain an office or agency in the State of New York where the Securities
may be presented for the above purposes. The Registrar shall keep a register of
the Securities and of their registration of transfer and exchange. The Company
may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents for
the Securities. The term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent.
The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar.

                  The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement
with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture.
The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to
such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any
such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent for the
Securities, the Trustee shall act as such.

                  The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and
Paying Agent.

                  SECTION 2.04. PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST.

                  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.03 hereof, each Paying
Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all
money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on
the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in
making any such payment. If the Company or a subsidiary of the

<PAGE>
                                      -14-

Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of
principal of or interest on the Securities, segregate the money and hold it
as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent
to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon doing so the Paying Agent
shall have no further liability for the money.

                  SECTION 2.05. SECURITYHOLDER LISTS.

                  The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of Securityholders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).
If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on
or before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may
reasonably require of the names and addresses of Securityholders relating to
such interest payment date or request, as the case may be.

                  SECTION 2.06. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

                  Where a Security is presented to the Registrar or a
co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register
the transfer as requested if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the New
York Uniform Commercial Code are met. Where Securities are presented to the
Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal
principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make
the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit
registration of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate
Securities at the Registrar's request. The Company may charge a reasonable fee
for any transfer or exchange but not for any exchange pursuant to Section 2.09
or 9.05.

                  The Company need not issue, and the Registrar or co-Registrar
need not register the transfer or exchange of, (i) any Security during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a
notice of redemption of the Securities for redemption under Section 11.02 and
ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) any Security
so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
any Security being redeemed in part.

                  SECTION 2.07. REPLACEMENT SECURITIES.

                  If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate and make available for delivery a replacement Security if the
requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code are met.
Before any Security is replaced, an indemnity bond must be provided sufficient
in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar from any loss which
any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge for its
expenses in replacing a Security. Every replacement Security shall constitute a
contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all the benefits
of this Indenture equally with all other Securities issued hereunder.

                  SECTION 2.08. OUTSTANDING SECURITIES.

                  Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities that
have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it and those
described in this Section. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.06 hereof, a
Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate
holds the Security. If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it
ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

                  If the Paying Agent holds on the maturity date money
sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date
such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease
to accrue.

                  SECTION 2.09. TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

                  Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the
Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon
a written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company. Temporary
Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities, but may
have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.
Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.

                  SECTION 2.10. CANCELLATION.

                  The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee
for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall cancel and dispose of
any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange,
payment or cancellation in accordance with their customary procedures. The
Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid or
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

                  SECTION 2.11. DEFAULTED INTEREST.

                  If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the
Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are
Securityholders on a subsequent special record date. After the deposit by the
Company with the Trustee of money sufficient to pay such defaulted interest, the
Company shall fix the record date and payment date. At least 15 days before the
record date, the Company shall mail to each Securityholder, with a copy to the
Trustee, a notice that states the record date, the payment date, and the amount
of defaulted interest to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any
other lawful manner.

                  SECTION 2.12. MANDATORY DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES PURSUANT TO
                                GAMING LAWS.

                  Each Holder and beneficial owner of Securities, by accepting
or otherwise acquiring an interest in the Securities, shall be deemed to have
agreed that if the Gaming Authority of any jurisdiction in which the Company or
any of its subsidiaries (or any joint venture in which the Company or a
subsidiary of the Company is a participant) now or hereafter conducts or
proposes to conduct gaming requires that a person who is a Holder or beneficial
owner of Securities must be licensed, qualified or found suitable, or comply
with any other requirement under applicable Gaming Laws, such Holder or
beneficial owner shall apply for a license, qualification or a finding of
suitability or comply with such other requirement, as the case may be, within
the prescribed time period. The Trustee shall have no duty to conduct or perform
any due diligence or investigation to determine whether any Holder must comply
with any applicable Gaming Laws. If such Holder or beneficial owner fails to
apply to be, or fails to become, licensed or qualified, is found unsuitable
under applicable gaming laws or fails to comply with any other requirement, as
the case may be (a "failure of compliance"), then the Company shall have the
right, at its option, (i) to require such person to dispose of

<PAGE>
                                      -17-

its Securities or beneficial interest therein within 30 days of receipt of
notice of the Company's election or such earlier date as may be requested or
prescribed by the Gaming Authority or (ii) to redeem such Securities (which
redemption may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption if so
requested or prescribed by the Gaming Authority) at a redemption price equal
to the lesser of (A) such person's cost, (B) 100% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the earlier of the redemption
date and the date of any failure of compliance, or (C) such other amount as
may be required by applicable law or by order of any Gaming Authority. The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any such redemption as soon as
practicable. The Company and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
costs or expenses any such Holder or beneficial owner may incur in connection
with its application for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability
or its compliance with any other requirement of a Gaming Authority.
Immediately upon the imposition by a Gaming Authority of a requirement that a
Holder or beneficial owner of Securities dispose of Securities, such Holder
or beneficial owner shall, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws,
have no further right (i) to exercise, directly or indirectly, through any
trustee, nominee or any other person or entity, any right conferred by the
Securities or (ii) to receive any interest, dividends or any other
distributions or payments with respect to the Securities or any remuneration
in any form with respect to the Securities from the Company or the Trustee,
except the redemption price referred to in this Section 2.12.

                  SECTION 2.13. CUSIP NUMBERS.

                  The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers
(if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in
notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; PROVIDED that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the 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. The Company will promptly notify
the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers.

                  SECTION 2.14. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS.

                  Each Global Security and Physical Security that constitutes a
Restricted Security shall bear the following legend (the "Private Placement
Legend")(each, a "Restricted Security")

<PAGE>
                                      -18-

on the face thereof until after the second anniversary of the later of the
Issue Date and the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company was the owner of such Security (or any predecessor security) (or such
shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act
or any successor provision thereunder) (or such longer period of time as may
be required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws in
the opinion of counsel for the Company, unless otherwise agreed by the
Company and the Holder thereof):

                  THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S.
         SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY
         NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE
         ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW. BY ITS
         ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT (A) IT IS A
         "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE ACT)
         OR (B) IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY IN AN
         OFFSHORE TRANSACTION, (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT WITHIN TWO YEARS
         AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THE SECURITY RESELL OR OTHERWISE
         TRANSFER THIS SECURITY EXCEPT (A) TO THE ISSUER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY
         THEREOF, (B) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL
         BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE ACT, (C) INSIDE THE UNITED
         STATES TO AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR THAT, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER,
         FURNISHES (OR HAS FURNISHED ON ITS BEHALF BY A U.S. BROKER-DEALER) TO
         THE TRUSTEE OR TRANSFER AGENT A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN
         REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
         OF THIS SECURITY (THE FORM OF WHICH LETTER CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE
         TRUSTEE OR TRANSFER AGENT FOR THIS SECURITY), (D) OUTSIDE THE UNITED
         STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE
         ACT, (E) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE
         144 UNDER THE ACT (IF AVAILABLE), OR (F) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
         REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE
         TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE
         SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
         TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE
         OF THIS SECURITY, IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE IS AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR,
         THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE TRUSTEE OR
         TRANSFER AGENT AND THE ISSUER SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS

<PAGE>
                                      -19-

         OR OTHER INFORMATION AS EITHER OF THEM MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO
         CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM,
         OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
         THE ACT. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS "OFFSHORE TRANSACTION,"
         "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" HAVE THE MEANING GIVEN TO THEM BY
         REGULATION S UNDER THE ACT.

                  Each Global Security shall also bear the following legends on
the face thereof:

                  UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR
         SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED
         EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, OR
         BY ANY SUCH NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR NOMINEE
         OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR
         DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS
         CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
         DEPOSITARY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO THE
         COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT,
         AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR
         SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC
         (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY
         AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER,
         PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON
         IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN
         INTEREST HEREIN.

                  TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO
         TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF CEDE & CO. OR TO A
         SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR'S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS
         OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN
         ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.16 OF THE
         INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE.

                  SECTION 2.15. BOOK-ENTRY PROVISIONS FOR GLOBAL
                                SECURITY.

                  (a) The Global Securities initially shall (i) be registered in
the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such

<PAGE>
                                      -20-

Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary
and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.14.

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

                  (b) Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to
transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their
respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Security may be
transferred or exchanged for Physical Securities in accordance with the rules
and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.16. In
addition, Physical Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in
exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security if (i) the
Depositary notifies the Company and the Trustee that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as Depositary for the Global Securities and a successor depositary
is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a
written request from the Depositary to issue Physical Securities.

                  (c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion
of the beneficial interest in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to
paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Securities are to be
issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the
principal amount of such Global Security in an amount equal to the principal
amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred, and
the Company shall execute and prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount.

                  (d) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global
Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b),

<PAGE>

                                      -21-

such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Company shall execute and prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the
Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Security, an
equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized
denominations registered in the name of such beneficial owners. The Trustee is
not responsible for any delay in said delivery as it is contingent upon the
Depositary's delivery of information and the co-delivery of the Physical
Securities.

                  (e) Any Physical Security constituting a Restricted Security
delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Security pursuant to
paragraph (b) or (c) shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraphs
(a)(i)(x) and (c) of Section 2.16, bear the legend regarding transfer
restrictions applicable to the Physical Securities set forth in Section 2.14.

                  (f) The Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and
otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may
hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is
entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

                  SECTION 2.16. SPECIAL TRANSFER PROVISIONS.

                  (a) TRANSFERS TO NON-QIB INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTORS
AND NON-U.S. PERSONS. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the
registration of any proposed transfer of a Security constituting a Restricted
Security to any Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a QIB or to any
Non-U.S. Person:

                  (i) the Registrar shall register the transfer of any
         Security constituting a Restricted Security, whether or not such
         Security bears the Private Placement Legend, if (x) the requested
         transfer is after the second anniversary of the Issue Date (PROVIDED,
         HOWEVER, that, to the knowledge of the Registrar, neither the Company
         nor any Affiliate of the Company has held any beneficial interest in
         such Security, or portion thereof, at any time on or prior to the
         second anniversary of the Issue Date) or (y) (1) in the case of a
         transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor which is not a QIB
         (excluding Non-U.S. Persons), the proposed transferee has delivered to
         the Registrar a certificate substantially in the form of EXHIBIT C and
         any legal opinions and certifications required thereby or (2) in the
         case of a transfer to a Non-U.S. Person, the

<PAGE>

                                      -22-

         proposed transferor has delivered to the Registrar a certificate
         substantially in the form of EXHIBIT D; and

                  (ii) if the proposed transferor is an Agent Member holding a
         beneficial interest in the Global Security, upon receipt by the
         Registrar of (x) the certificate, if any, required by paragraph (i)
         above and (y) written instructions given in accordance with the
         Depositary's and the Registrar's procedures,

whereupon (a) the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date
and (if the transfer does not involve a transfer of outstanding Physical
Securities) a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an
amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global
Security to be transferred, and (b) the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver one or more Physical Securities of like tenor
and amount.

                  (b) TRANSFERS TO QIBS. The following provisions shall apply
with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Security
constituting a Restricted Security to a QIB (excluding transfers to Non-U.S.
Persons):

                  (i) the Registrar shall register the transfer if such
         transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the
         box provided for on the form of Security stating, or has otherwise
         advised the Company and the Registrar in writing, that the sale has
         been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a
         transferee who has signed the certification provided for on the form
         of Security stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the
         Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Security for its own
         account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole
         investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB
         within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is
         being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has
         received such information regarding the Company as it has requested
         pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such
         information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon
         its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from
         registration provided by Rule 144A; and

                  (ii) if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the
         Securities to be transferred consist of Physical Securities which
         after transfer are to be evidenced by an

<PAGE>

                                      -23-

         interest in a Global Security, upon receipt by the Registrar of
         written instructions given in accordance with the Depositary's and the
         Registrar's procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and
         records the date and an increase in the principal amount of such
         Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
         Physical Securities to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel
         the Physical Securities so transferred.

                  (c) PRIVATE PLACEMENT LEGEND. Upon the transfer, exchange or
replacement of Securities not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the
Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear the Private Placement
Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing the
Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Securities that
bear the Private Placement Legend unless (i) the requested transfer is after
the second anniversary of the Issue Date (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, to the
knowledge of the Registrar, neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the
Company has held any beneficial interest in such Security, or portion thereof,
at any time prior to or on the second anniversary of the Issue Date), or (ii)
there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that neither such
legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to
maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

                  (d) GENERAL. By its acceptance of any Security bearing the
Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a Security acknowledges the
restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture and in
the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Security
only as provided in this Indenture.

                  The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices
and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.15 or this
Section 2.16. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of
all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable
time during the Registrar's normal business hours upon the giving of
reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

                  The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer
imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any
transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or
among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security)

                                      -24-

other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or
evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly
required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

                  (e) TRANSFERS OF SECURITIES HELD BY AFFILIATES. Any
certificate (i) evidencing a Security that has been transferred to an
Affiliate of the Company within three years after the Issue Date, as evidenced
by a notation on the Assignment Form for such transfer or in the
representation letter delivered in respect thereof, or (ii) evidencing a
Security that has been acquired from an Affiliate (other than by an Affiliate)
in a transaction or a chain of transactions not involving any public offering,
shall, until two years after the last date on which either the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company was an owner of such Security, in each case, bear a
legend in substantially the form set forth in Section 2.14, unless otherwise
agreed by the Company (with written notice thereof to the Trustee).

partnership or other existence of each subsidiary in accordance with the
respective organizational documents of each subsidiary and the rights (charter
and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its subsidiaries;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to preserve, with
respect to itself, any right, license or franchise, and with respect to the
subsidiaries, any such existence, right, license or franchise, if the Board of
Directors, or the board of directors or managing partners of the subsidiary
concerned, shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company or any subsidiary and
that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
Holders.

                  SECTION 4.03. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS.

if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company or any
subsidiary; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to pay
or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment,
charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Company
shall not be required to cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim if the Board of Directors, or the board of
directors or managing partners of the subsidiary concerned, shall determine
that such payment is not advantageous to the conduct of the business of the

                  The Company will cause all properties used in the conduct of
its business or the business of any subsidiary to be maintained and kept in
such condition, repair and working order 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 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 disposal is, in the judgment of the Board of
Directors or of the board

<PAGE>

                                      -26-

of directors or managing partners of the subsidiary concerned, desirable in
the conduct of the business of the Company or any subsidiary and not

of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company
in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. Unless the
Trustee serves as Paying Agent or Registrar, the Company will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location,
of 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 address of the Trustee set forth in Section 12.02.

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

                  SECTION 4.06. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE; NOTICE OF DEFAULT.

                  The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officers' Certificate (one
of the signers of which shall be the principal executive officer, principal
financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company) stating
whether or not the signers know of any default by the Company in performing
its covenants hereunder, without regard to notice requirements or periods of
grace, in Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.09 and 4.10. If they do know of
such a default, the certificate shall describe the default in detail.

<PAGE>

                                      -27-

                  The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as
possible and in any event within five days after the Company becomes aware of
the occurrence of any 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 4.07. REPORTS.

                  The Company shall file with the Trustee within 15 days after
it files them with the SEC copies of the quarterly and annual reports and of
the information, documents, and other reports (or copies of such portions of
any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which
the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions
of TIA Section 314(a).

                  So long as any of the Securities remain outstanding the
Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their addresses appearing
in the register of Securities maintained by the Registrar all annual,
quarterly or other reports which the Company mails or causes to be mailed to
its stockholders generally, concurrently with such mailing to stockholders,
and will cause to be disclosed in such annual reports as of the date of the
most recent financial statements in each such report the amount available for
dividends and other payments pursuant to the most restrictive covenant
therefor as of such date.

                  Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the
Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of such
shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein
or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company's
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).

                  SECTION 4.08. WAIVER OF STAY, EXTENSION OF USURY LAWS.

                  The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in an manner
whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take
the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or
other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all

                                      -28-

or any portion of the interest on the Securities as contemplated herein,
whenever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect
the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had
been enacted.

                  SECTION 4.09. LIMITATION ON LIENS.

                  Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities shall in any
way restrict or prevent the Company or any of its subsidiaries from incurring
any Debt; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries may issue, assume or guarantee any Debt secured by a Lien upon
any Consolidated Property without effectively providing that the Securities
shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt so long as
such Debt shall be so secured, except that this restriction will not apply to:

                  (a) Liens existing on the date of original issuance of the
         Securities;

                  (b) Liens affecting property of a corporation or other entity

         the Company or a subsidiary of the Company;

                  (c) Liens on property existing at the time of acquisition
         thereof or incurred to secure payment of all or a part of the purchase

         financing all or part of the purchase price thereof;

                  (d) Liens on any property to secure all or part of the cost
         of improvements or construction thereon or Debt incurred to provide
         funds for that purpose in a principal amount not exceeding the cost of
         these improvements or construction;

                  (e) Liens to secure Debt of a subsidiary of the Company to

                  (f) Liens to secure Debt of the Company, the proceeds of
         which are used substantially simultaneously with the incurrence of
         such Debt to retire Funded Debt;

                  (g) purchase money security Liens on personal property;

                  (h) Liens securing Debt of the Company, the proceeds of which

         Resort Property;

                  (i) Liens on the stock, partnership or other equity interest
         of the Company or any subsidiary in any Joint Venture or any
         subsidiary which owns an equity interest in the Joint Venture to
         secure Debt, PROVIDED the amount of such Debt is contributed and/or
         advanced solely to such Joint Venture;

                  (j) Liens securing any Debt under the Credit Facilities;

                  (k) Liens in favor of any government or governmental body,
         including the United States or any state thereof, or any department,

         the pollution control or industrial revenue bond type;

                  (l) Liens required by any contract or statute in order to

         state or any department, agency or instrumentality or political
         subdivision of either;

<PAGE>

                                      -30-

         erty and minor irregularities of title incident thereto which do not
         in the aggregate materially detract from the value of the property or
         assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or impair
         the use of such property in the operation of the Company's or any of
         its subsidiary's business; and

                  (p) any extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of any
         Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (j) inclusive or
         of any Debt secured thereby; PROVIDED that the principal amount of
         Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so
         secured at the time of such extension, renewal, replacement or
         refinancing, and that such extension, renewal, replacement or
         refinancing Lien shall be limited to all or part, of substantially the
         same property which secured the Lien extended, renewed, replaced or
         refinanced (plus improvements on such property).

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
4.09, the Company and any one or more of its subsidiaries may, without
securing the Securities, issue, assume or guarantee Debt which would otherwise
be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an aggregate principal amount
which, together with all other such Debt of the Company and its subsidiaries
which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (not including
Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (a) through (j) inclusive above)
and the aggregate Value of Sale and Lease-Back Transactions (other than those
in connection with which the Company has voluntarily retired Funded Debt) does
not at any one time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the
Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

                  SECTION 4.10. LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASE-BACK TRANSACTIONS.

                  Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall enter
into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction unless either (a) the Company or such
subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.09, to
incur Debt in a principal amount equal to or exceeding the Value of such Sale
and Lease-Back Transaction, secured by a Lien on the property to be leased,
without equally and ratably securing the Securities or (b) the Company (and in
any such case the Company covenants and agrees that it will do so) within 120
days after the effective date of such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction (whether
made by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company) applies to the voluntary
retirement of its Funded Debt an amount equal to the

<PAGE>

                                      -31-

Value of the Sale and Lease-Back Transaction less the principal amount of
other Funded Debt voluntarily retired by the Company within four months after
the effective date of such arrangement, excluding retirements of Funded Debt
as a result of conversions or pursuant to mandatory sinking fund or prepayment
provisions or by payment at maturity.

                  SECTION 4.11. DEFEASANCE OF CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS.

                  The Company may omit to comply with any term, provision or
condition set forth in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.09 and 4.10 and Article Five and
Section 6.01(3) (with respect to Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.09 and 4.10 and
Article Five) and, in each case with respect to any series of Securities, such
omission shall be deemed not to be an Event of Default; PROVIDED that the
following conditions have been satisfied with respect to such series:

                  (1) the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
         deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust, specifically
         pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the
         Holders of the Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S.
         Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and
         principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will,
         without consideration of any reinvestment of such interest, provide
         not later than the opening of business on the relevant due date,
         money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in the opinion of a
         nationally recognized firm of independent certified public
         accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to
         the Trustee at the expense of the Company, sufficient to pay and
         discharge the principal of, and each installment of interest on, such
         series of Securities then outstanding on the date of maturity of such
         principal or installment of interest or on the redemption date, as
         the case may be;

                  (2) Such deposit shall not cause the Trustee with respect to
         the Securities to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the TIA
         with respect to the Securities;

                  (3) Such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of,
         or constitute a default under, this Indenture;

                  (4) No Event of Default or event that with the giving of
         notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default
         with respect to the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing
         on the date of such deposit and

<PAGE>

                                      -32-

         no Event of Default under Section 6.01(5) or Section 6.01(6) or event
         which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would
         become an Event of Default under Section 6.01(5) or Section 6.01(6)
         shall have occurred and be continuing at any time during the period
         ending on the 91st day after such date or, if longer, ending on the
         day following the expiration of the longest preference period
         applicable to the Company in respect of such deposit (it being
         understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until
         the expiration of such period);

                  (5) the deposit shall not result in the Company, the Trustee
         or the trust becoming or being deemed to be an "investment company"
         under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

                  (6) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
         Counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that
         (i) Holders of the Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss
         for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and
         defeasance of certain obligations and will be subject to federal
         income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same
         times, as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had
         not occurred and (ii) (A) the trust funds will not be subject to any
         rights of holders of Debt under the Credit Facilities and (B) after
         the passage of 90 days following the deposit, the trust funds will
         not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,
         insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors'
         rights generally; PROVIDED that if a court were to rule under any
         such law in any case or proceeding that the trust funds remained
         property of the Company, no opinion need be given as to the effect of
         such laws on the trust funds except the following: (x) assuming such
         trust funds remained in the Trustee's possession prior to such court
         ruling to the extent not paid to Holders of the Securities, the
         Trustee will hold, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities,
         a valid and perfected security interest in such trust funds that is
         not avoidable in bankruptcy or otherwise and (y) no property, rights
         in property or other interests granted to the Trustee for the benefit
         of the Holders of the Securities or to the Holders of the Securities
         in exchange for or with respect to any of such trust funds will be
         subject to any prior rights of holders of Debt under the Credit
         Facilities; and

<PAGE>

                                      -33-

                  (7) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
         conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the defeasance
         contemplated by this Section have been complied with.

                  SECTION 4.12. LIMITATION ON LAYERING DEBT.

                  The Company may not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist
any Debt that is subordinate in right of payment to any other Debt of the
Company, unless, by its terms or the terms of the instrument creating or
evidencing it, such Debt is subordinate in right of payment to, or ranks PARI
PASSU with, the Securities.

                  SECTION 4.13. CHANGE OF CONTROL.

                  (a) Following the occurrence of a Change of Control (the date
of such occurrence being the "Change of Control Date"), the Company shall,
within 30 days after the Change of Control Date, make an offer to purchase (a
"Change of Control Offer") all of the then outstanding Securities at a purchase
price (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") in cash equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to
the purchase date. The Company shall be required to purchase all Securities
properly tendered in the Change of Control Offer and not withdrawn. The Change
of Control Offer shall remain open for 20 days and until the close of business
on the Change of Control Payment Date (as defined below).

                  (b) Within 45 days following the date upon which the Change
of Control occurred, the Company shall mail, or cause the Trustee to mail, by
first class mail, a notice to each Holder at such Holder's last registered
address, with a copy to the Trustee, if applicable, which notice shall govern
the terms of the Change of Control Offer. The notice to the Holders shall
contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to
tender Securities pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall
state:

                    (i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant
         to this Section 4.13 and that all Securities tendered and not
         withdrawn shall be accepted for payment;

                   (ii) the purchase price (including the amount of accrued
         interest) and the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30
         days nor later than 45 days from the date

<PAGE>

                                      -34-

         such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law) (the
         "Change of Control Payment Date");

                  (iii) that any Security not tendered shall continue to accrue
         interest;

                   (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment
         therefor, any Security accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of
         Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of
         Control Payment Date;

                    (v) that Holders electing to have a Security purchased
         pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender
         the Security, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect
         Purchase" on the reverse of the Security completed, to the Paying
         Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of
         business on the third business day prior to the Change of Control
         Payment Date;

                   (vi) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their
         election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the second
         business day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram,
         telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the
         Holder, the principal amount of the Securities the Holder delivered
         for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his
         election to have such Securities purchased;

                  (vii) that Holders whose Securities are purchased only in
         part shall be issued new Securities in a principal amount equal to the
         unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
         that each Security purchased and each new Security issued shall be in
         an original principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof;
         and

                 (viii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such
         Change of Control.

                  On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to
the extent permitted by law, (i) accept for payment all Securities or portions
thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii)
deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of
Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions thereof so tendered
and (iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation
the Securities so accepted together with

<PAGE>

                                      -35-

an Officers' Certificate stating that such Securities or portions thereof have
been tendered to and purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent will promptly
either (x) pay to the Holder against presentation and surrender (or, in the
case of partial payment, endorsement) of the Global Securities or (y) in the
case of Certificated Securities, mail to each Holder of Securities the Change
of Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee will promptly
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Global Securities a new Global
Security or Securities or, in the case of Certificated Securities, mail to
each Holder new Certificated Securities, as applicable, equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, if any,
provided that each new Certificated Security will be in a principal amount of
$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The Company will notify the Trustee
and the Holders of the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as
practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

                  Neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor the
Trustee may waive the provisions of this Section 4.13 relating to the
Company's obligation to make a Change of Control Offer or a Holder's right to
redemption upon a Change of Control.

                  The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in
connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to a Change of Control
Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.13, the Company shall comply
with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to
have breached their obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.13 by
virtue thereof.

         or the person (if other than the Company) formed by such
         consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which the
         properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety are

         poration, partnership or trust organized and existing under the laws
         of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District
         of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental
         hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to
         the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Securities
         and this Indenture;

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

                  (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such
         consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture
         comply with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein

succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of,
the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor
corporation had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter the
predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants
under the Indenture and the Securities, and in the event of such transfer any
such predecessor corporation may be dissolved and liquidated.

                                   ARTICLE SIX

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

                  SECTION 6.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

                  An "Event of Default" with respect to any series of
Securities occurs if:

                  (1) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on such
         series of Securities when the same becomes due and payable and the
         default continues for a period of 30 days; or

                  (2) the Company defaults in the payment of principal of such
         series of Securities when the same becomes due and payable at
         maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; or

                                      -37-

                  (3) the Company fails to comply with any of its other
         agreements in such series of Securities or this Indenture, and the
         default continues for the period and after the notice specified
         below; or

                  (4) an event or events of default, as defined in any one or
         more mortgages, indentures or instruments under which there may be
         issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any Debt of
         the Company or a subsidiary, whether such Debt now exists or shall
         hereafter be created, shall happen and shall entitle the holders of
         such Debt to declare an aggregate principal amount of at least
         $10,000,000 of such Debt due and payable and such event of default
         shall not have been cured or waived in accordance with the provisions
         of such instrument, or such Debt shall not have been discharged,
         within a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by
         registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the
         Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal
         amount of such series of Securities then outstanding a written notice
         specifying such event or events of default and requiring the Company
         to cause such event of default to be cured or such Debt to be
         discharged and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default"
         hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company is not in good faith
         contesting in appropriate proceedings the occurrence of such an event
         of default; or

                  (5) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a judgment,
         decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any
         Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy
         Law which shall (A) approve as properly filed a petition seeking
         reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition in respect of
         the Company or any subsidiary, (B) appoint a Custodian of the Company
         or any subsidiary or for any substantial part of its property or (C)
         order the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs; and such
         judgment, decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a
         period of 60 consecutive days; or any bankruptcy or insolvency
         petition or application is filed, or any bankruptcy or insolvency
         proceeding is commenced, against the Company or any subsidiary and
         such petition, application or proceeding is not dismissed within 60
         days; or any warrant of attachment is issued against any substantial
         portion of the property of the Company or any subsidiary which is not
         released within 60 days of service; or

<PAGE>
                                      -38-

                  (6) the Company or any subsidiary shall (A) become insolvent,
         (B) generally fail to pay its debts as they become due, (C) make any
         general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (D) admit in writing
         its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (E)
         commence a voluntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, (F)
         consent to the entry of a judgment, decree or order for relief in an
         involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, (G) consent
         to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency against it, (H) apply
         for, consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of or taking
         possession by a Custodian of the Company or any subsidiary or for any
         substantial part of its property or (I) take any corporate action in
         furtherance of any of the foregoing.

                  The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11, U.S. Code or any
similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term "Custodian"
means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under
any Bankruptcy Law.

                  A default under clause (3) (other than a Default under
Section 4.02 or Article Five which Default shall be an Event of Default
without the notice or passage of time specified in this paragraph) is not an
Event of Default with respect to the Securities until the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding
notify the Company (with a copy to the Trustee) of the default 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."

                  SECTION 6.02. ACCELERATION.

                  If an Event of Default relating to any series of Securities
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice in writing to the Company, or
the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee, may declare
the unpaid principal (but in no event more than the maximum amount of
principal and interest thereon allowed by law) to be due and payable
immediately. Upon any such declaration such principal and interest shall be
payable immediately.

                  At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has
been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has
been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the
Holders of a majority in princi-

<PAGE>

                                      -39-

pal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by written notice to the
Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration as to the
Securities and its consequences if:

                  (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
         sufficient to pay

                           (A) the principal of the Securities that has become
                  due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration
                  (together with interest, if any, payable thereon); and

                           (B) all sums paid by the Trustee hereunder and the
                  reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
                  of the Trustee and its agents, attorneys and counsel; and

                  (2) all existing Events of Default relating to the Securities
         have been cured or waived and the rescission would not conflict with
         any judgment or decree.

                  SECTION 6.03. OTHER REMEDIES.

                  If an Event of Default relating to the Securities occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at
law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on such
series of Securities or to enforce the performance of any provisions of the
Securities or this Indenture.

                  The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in
exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not
impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the
Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available
remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

                  SECTION 6.04. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

                  Subject to Section 9.02, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee
may waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the
Securities and its consequences. When a Default or Event of Default is waived,
it is cured and stops continuing.

<PAGE>

                                      -40-

                  SECTION 6.05. CONTROL BY MAJORITY.

                  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to any default
under the Securities. However, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee may refuse
to follow any direction that conflicts with any rule of law or this Indenture,
that is unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder of the Securities,
or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

                  SECTION 6.06. LIMITATION ON SUITS.

                  A Holder of the Securities may not pursue any remedy with
respect to this Indenture or any of the Securities unless:

                  (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a
         continuing Event of Default with respect to such series;

                  (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
         Securities then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to
         pursue the remedy;

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

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

                  (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority of
         principal amount of such series of Securities then outstanding do not
         give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

                  A Holder of the Securities may not use this Indenture to
prejudice the rights of another Holder of the Securities or to obtain a
preference or priority over another Holder of the Securities.

                  SECTION 6.07. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the
right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment

<PAGE>
                                      -41-

of principal of or interest on the Security on or after the respective due
dates expressed in the Security or to bring suit for the enforcement of any
such payment on or after such respective dates shall not be impaired or
affected without the consent of the Holder.

                  SECTION 6.08. COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.

                  If an Event of Default in payment of interest or principal
specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing with respect to the
Securities, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of
an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal (or such
portion of the principal as may be specified as due upon acceleration at that
time in the terms of the Securities) and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on
the Securities then outstanding.

                  SECTION 6.09. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

                  The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to
the Company, its creditors or its property.

                  SECTION 6.10. PRIORITIES.

                  If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article
with respect to the Securities, it shall pay out the money in the following
order:

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

                  Second: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the
         Securities for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or
         priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on
         the Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

                  Third: to the Company.

                  The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to Holders of the Securities pursuant to this Section. The Trustee shall
notify the Company in writing reasonably in advance of any such record date and
payment date.

                                      -42-

                  SECTION 6.11. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.

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

                                  ARTICLE SEVEN

                                     TRUSTEE

                  The Trustee hereby accepts the trust imposed upon it by this
Indenture and covenants and agrees to perform the same, as herein expressed.

                  SECTION 7.01. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE.

                  (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is known to the
Trustee (and is not cured), the Trustee shall exercise its rights and powers and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's
own affairs.

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

                  (1) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are
         specifically set forth in this Indenture or in the TIA and no covenants
         or obligations shall be implied in this Indenture which bind the
         Trustee.

                  (2) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
         conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
         correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
         opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
         this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or
         opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically

<PAGE>
                                      -43-

         required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a
         duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to
         the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate
         the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated
         therein).

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

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

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

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

                  (4) The Trustee shall, subject to Section 7.08, comply with
         any order or directive of a Gaming Authority that the Trustee submit an
         application for any license, finding of suitability or other approval
         pursuant to any Gaming Law and will cooperate fully and completely in
         any proceeding related to such application; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if
         the Trustee's resignation is pending, the failure to comply with this
         Section 7.01(b)(4) shall not be a violation of this Indenture.

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

                  (e) The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any
right or power unless it receives security and indemnity satisfactory to it
against any loss, liability or expense.

                  (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.

                  SECTION 7.02. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

                  (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person.
The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

                  (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not
be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on
such Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

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

                  (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its
rights or power.

                  (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in
the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or satisfactory indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it.

                  (f) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and
the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

                  (g) 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 have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the
Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by
it in compliance with such request or direction.

                  (h) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,
debenture, note,

<PAGE>
                                      -45-

other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee,
in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to
make such matter inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine
the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or
attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or
additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

                  (i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any
Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact
such a default is received by the Trustee at the principal corporate trust
office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this
Indenture.

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

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

                  SECTION 7.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or
its subsidiaries or Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar may do the same with like
rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

                  SECTION 7.04. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER.

                  The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall

<PAGE>
                                      -46-

not be accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from the Securities,
and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other
than its certificate of authentication.

                  SECTION 7.05. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

                  If a Default occurs with respect to the Securities and is
continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the
Trustee shall mail to each Holder of the Securities, notice of the Default
within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a default in the payment
of principal of or interest on the Securities, the Trustee may withhold the
notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the
Securities.

                  SECTION 7.06. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE.

                  Within 60 days after each June 15 beginning with the June 15
following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each
Securityholder a brief report dated as of such June 15 that complies with TIA
Section 313(a) if required by such Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply
with TIA Section 313(b).

                  A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to
Securityholders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the
Securities are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the
Securities are listed on any stock exchange or of any delisting thereof.

                  To the extent reasonably requested in writing by the Company,
the Trustee shall cooperate with the Gaming Authorities in order to provide such
Gaming Authorities with any information and documentation that they may request
and as otherwise required by law.

                  SECTION 7.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY.

                  The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation for its services as shall be agreed in writing by the Company and
the Trustee. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expense may include the
reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel. The
Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee against
any and all loss,

<PAGE>
                                      -47-

damage, claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder or any other
Person), liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based on the
income of the Trustee) incurred by it, without negligence or bad faith on its
part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
of this trust. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for
which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the
Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel
of its selection and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses
of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its
consent. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any
loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through negligence or bad faith.

                  To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section,
the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property
held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and
interest on particular Securities.

                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in
connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or Section
6.01(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its
counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law.

                  The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination
of this Indenture.

                  SECTION 7.08. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE.

                  The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding
may remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities by so notifying the
removed Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company's consent.
The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities if:

                  (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

                  (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

<PAGE>
                                      -48-

                  (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
Trustee or its property; or

                  (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

                  If, as to the Securities, the Trustee resigns or is removed or
if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee for that series.

                  A successor Trustee as to any series of Securities shall
deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to
the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of
its charges, promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers
and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture as to the Securities. A successor
Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to the Holders of the Securities.

                  If a successor Trustee as to the Securities does not take
office within 45 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, then (i)
the retiring Trustee or the Company may petition, at the expense of the Company,
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
and (ii) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Trustee.

                  If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 with respect
to the Securities, any Holder of the Securities who satisfies the requirements
of TIA Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee for the
Securities.

                  In case of appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities 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) shall contain such provisions as shall be

<PAGE>
                                      -49-

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 or desirable to
provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more
than one Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing herein or in such
supplemental Indenture shall constitute such Trustee co-trustees of the same
trust and that each such Trustee shall be a trustee of a trust hereunder
separate and apart from any trust hereunder and administered by any other
such Trustee.

                  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.

                  SECTION 7.09. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC.

                  If the Trustee as to the Securities consolidates with, merges
or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust
assets to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation is
otherwise eligible hereunder, without any further act, be the successor Trustee
as to the Securities.

                  SECTION 7.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION.

                  The Securities shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Trustee as to the Securities shall have
a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most
recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA
Section 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second
sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9).

                  SECTION 7.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST
                                COMPANY.

                  The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding
any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b).

<PAGE>
                                      -50-

A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section
311(a) to the extent indicated.

                  SECTION 7.12. AUTHENTICATING AGENT.

                  If the Company so requests, there shall be an Authenticating
Agent appointed by the Trustee with power to act on its behalf and subject to
its direction in the authentication and delivery of the Securities in connection
with the exchange or registration of transfer thereof as fully to all intents
and purposes as though the Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by
the relevant Sections hereof to authenticate and deliver the Securities, and
such Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as though
authenticated by the Trustee hereunder, and for all purposes of this Indenture,
the authentication and delivery of such Securities by the Authenticating Agent
pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be the authentication and delivery
of such Securities "by the Trustee." Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 2.02, or in any other Section hereof, all authentication in
connection with exchange or registration of transfer thereof shall be effected
either by the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent and such Authenticating Agent
shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws
of the United States or of any State, with a combined capital and surplus of at
least $5,000,000 and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.
If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect herein specified in this Section. If such corporation
publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the
requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published.

                  Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any
Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent,
shall be the successor of the Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor
corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or
filing of any pa-

<PAGE>

                                     -51-

per or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the
Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

                  Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving
written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may
at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written
notice of termination 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 any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section,
the Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give
written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall mail notice of such
appointment to all Holders of the Securities as the names and addresses of such
Holders appear on the register of Securities, and shall publish notices of such
appointment at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the place
where such successor Authenticating Agent has its principal office.

                  Any Authenticating Agent by the acceptance of its appointment
shall be deemed to have agreed with the Trustee that: it will perform and carry
out the duties of an Authenticating Agent as herein set forth, including,
without limitation, the duties to authenticate and deliver the Securities when
presented to it in connection with exchanges or registrations of transfer
thereof; it will furnish from time to time, as requested by the Trustee,
appropriate records of all transactions carried out by it as Authenticating
Agent and will furnish the Trustee such other information and reports as the
Trustee may reasonably require; it is eligible for appointment as Authenticating
Agent under this Section and will notify the Trustee promptly in writing if it
shall cease to be so qualified; and it will indemnify the Trustee against any
loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee and will defend any claim
asserted against the Trustee by reason of any act or failure to act of the
Authenticating Agent but it shall have no liability for any action taken by it
at the specific written direction of the Trustee.

                  The Company agrees that it will pay to the Authenticating
Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services.

                  The provisions of Sections 7.02, 7.03 and 7.04 shall bind and
inure to the benefit of any Authenticating Agent to the same extent that they
bind and inure to the benefit of the Trustee.

                  If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the
Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate
of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following
form:

                  This is one of the Securities referred to in the within
mentioned Indenture.

                  The Company may terminate its obligations under the Securities
and this Indenture, except those obligations referred to in the immediately
succeeding paragraph, if:

                  (a) all Securities previously authenticated and delivered
         (other than mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities which have
         been replaced or the Securities which are paid for pursuant to Section

         benefit of the Holders of such series of Securities, (A) money in
         an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the
         payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with
         their terms will, without consideration of any reinvestment of such
         interest, provide not later than the opening of business on the
         relevant due date, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in
         the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified
         public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
         delivered to the Trustee, sufficient to pay and discharge the principal
         of, and each installment of interest on, such series of Securities then

         Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and

         later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the relevant due date,
         money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in the opinion of a
         nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants

         of interest on such series of Securities then outstanding on the date
         of maturity of such principal or installment of interest, or, on the
         redemption date, as the case may be; and

                  (c)(2) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers'
         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions
         precedent provided for in clause (c) and in Section 4.11 relating to
         the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such
         series of Securities have been complied with.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (c), prior to the end of
the 90-day period referred to in clause (6)(ii) of Section 4.11, none of the
Company's obligations under this Indenture shall be discharged, and subsequent
to the end of the 90-day period only the Company's obligations in Sections 2.03,
2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08, 8.03 and 8.04

<PAGE>

                                     -54-

shall survive until such series of Securities are no longer outstanding.
Thereafter, the Company's obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.03 and 8.04 shall
survive; PROVIDED, that the Company shall pay any taxes or other costs and
expenses incurred by any trust created pursuant to this Article Eight.

                  After any such irrevocable deposit and after satisfaction of
all the conditions of this Section 8.01, the Trustee, upon the Company's
request, shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's obligations
under the Securities and this Indenture, except for those surviving obligations
specified above. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any calculations made
by the Company in connection with the deposit of funds pursuant to clauses
(b)(2) or (c)(1) of this Section 8.01.

                  The Company may make an irrevocable deposit pursuant to this
Section 8.01 only if at such time the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee and any such Paying Agent an Officers' Certificate to that effect.

                  The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.01 or the principal and interest
received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which

U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture, to the payment of
principal of and interest on the Securities.

                  SECTION 8.03. REPAYMENT TO THE COMPANY.

                  Subject to Section 8.02, the Trustee and the Paying Agent
shall promptly pay to the Company upon written request any excess money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved
from all liability with respect to such money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent
shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the
payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Company

<PAGE>

                                     -55-

shall, if requested by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, give the Trustee or
such Paying Agent satisfactory indemnification against any and all liability
which may be incurred by it by reason of such payment; and PROVIDED, FURTHER,
that the Trustee or such Paying Agent before being required to make any
payment shall at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in a
newspaper or newspapers printed in the English language, customarily
published at least five days a week and of general circulation in the City of
Las Vegas, Nevada and in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and
mail to each Securityholder entitled to such money notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein which shall be at
least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After

                  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01 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 obligations under this Indenture and the Securities
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section
8.01; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Company has made any payment of interest on
or principal of the Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations,
the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the Securities
to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by
the Trustee or Paying Agent.

<PAGE>

                                     -56-

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

                  (2) to comply with Article Five;

                  (3) to provide, to the extent permitted by law, that all or a
         portion of the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be
         represented only by appropriate records maintained by the Company or
         the Trustee in addition to or in place of the issue of Securities;

                  (4) to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection
         with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

                  (5) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of
         this Indenture in respect of the Securities, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
         any such addition, change or elimination (A) shall neither (i) apply to
         any Securities created prior to the execution of such supplemental
         indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify
         the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such
         provision or (B) shall become effective only when there is no
         outstanding Security created prior to the execution of such
         supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision;
         or

                  (6) to make any change that does not adversely affect the
         rights of any Securityholder.

                  SECTION 9.02. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS.

                  The Company and the Trustee as to the Securities may amend or
supplement this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any Securityholder
but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities affected by such amendment or
supplement. The Holders of a majority delivered to the Trustee in principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding may also waive compliance in a
particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture with
respect to the Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that without the consent of each
Securityholder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver
pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

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

<PAGE>

                                     -57-

                  (2) reduce the rate, or extend the time for payment of
         interest on, any Security in a manner adverse to the Holders thereof;

                  (3) reduce the principal of, or extend the fixed maturity or
         fixed redemption date of any Securities, in a manner adverse to the
         Holders thereof;

                  (4) waive a default in the payment of the principal of, or
         interest on, any Security;

                  (5) affect the ranking of the Securities;

                  (6) make any Security payable in money other than that stated
         in the Security; or

                  (7) make any changes in Section 6.04, 6.07 and 9.02 (second
         sentence).

                  An amendment or waiver under this Section may not make any
change that adversely affects the rights of any holder of Debt under the Credit
Facilities unless such holder consents to such amendment or waiver.

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

                  After an amendment or waiver under this Section becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to Holders of the Securities affected thereby
a notice briefly describing the amendment or waiver.

                  SECTION 9.03. COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

                  Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the
Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

                  SECTION 9.04. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.

                  Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a
consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder of a Security shall
bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a
Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even
if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder
or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as

<PAGE>

                                     -58-

to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives notice of
revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective.

                  The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record
date for the purpose of determining the identity of Holders entitled to consent
to any amendment, supplement or waiver permitted by this Indenture. If a record
date is fixed, the Holders of the Securities outstanding on such record date,
and no other Holders, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement
or waiver or revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective
for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the
principal amount of the Securities required hereunder for such amendment,
supplement or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked
within such 90-day period.

                  After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it
shall bind the Holder of every Security unless it makes a change described in
clause (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) or (7) of Section 9.02. In that case the
amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has
consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a
Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security.

                  SECTION 9.05. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES.

                  If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a
Security, the Company may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to
the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about
the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company so
determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.

                  SECTION 9.06. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.

                  The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver
authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment, supplement or waiver does
not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but
need not sign it. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplement until the
Board of Directors approves it. The Trustee, subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02,
shall and an Officer's Certificate, each

                                     -59-

receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel
and an Officer's Certificate, each stating that any amendment, supplement or
waiver is authorized by this Indenture and complies with the provisions of
this Article Nine.

                                   ARTICLE TEN

                  SECTION 10.01. PURPOSES FOR WHICH MEETINGS MAY BE CALLED.

any of the following purposes:

                  (a) to give any notice to the Company or to the Trustee, or to
         give any directions to the Trustee, or to waive or to consent to the
         waiving of any Default or Event of Default hereunder and its
         consequences, or to take any other action authorized to be taken by
         Securityholders pursuant to any of the provisions of Article Six;

                  (b) to remove the Trustee or appoint a successor Trustee
         pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven;

                  (c) to consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant
         to the provisions of Section 9.02; or

                  (d) to take any action (i) authorized to be taken by or on
         behalf of the Holders of any specified aggregate principal amount of
         such series of Securities under any other provision of this Indenture,
         or authorized or permitted by law or (ii) which the Trustee deems
         necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration of this
         Indenture.

                  SECTION 10.02. MANNER OF CALLING MEETINGS.

                  The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of the
Securities to take any action specified in Section 10.01, to be held at such
time and at such place in the City of Las Vegas, Nevada, or in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every

Holders of the Securities at their last addresses as they shall appear on the
registration books of the Registrar, not less than ten nor more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

                  Any meeting of Holders of the Securities shall be valid
without notice if all Holders of the Securities then outstanding are present in
person or by proxy, or if notice is waived before or after the meeting by all
Holders of the Securities then outstanding, if the Company and the Trustee are
either present by duly authorized representative or have, before or after the
meeting waived notice.

                  SECTION 10.03. CALL OF MEETINGS BY COMPANY
                                 OR HOLDERS.

                  In case at any time the Company, pursuant to resolution of its
Board of Directors, or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding shall have requested the Trustee to
call a meeting of Securityholders, either separately or jointly, to take any
action specified in Section 10.01, by written request setting forth in
reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the
Trustee shall not have mailed the notice of such meeting within 20 days for
receipt of such request, then the Company or the Holders of such series of
Securities in the amount above specified may determine the time and place in the
City of Las Vegas, Nevada, or in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
for such meeting and may call such meeting for the purpose of taking such
action, by mailing or causing to be mailed notice thereof as provided in Section
10.02, or by causing notice thereof to be published at least once in each of two
successive calendar weeks (on any day of the week) in a newspaper or newspapers
printed in the English language, customarily published at least five days a week
and of general circulation in the City of Las Vegas, Nevada and in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York, the first such publication to be not less
than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

                  SECTION 10.04. WHO MAY ATTEND AND VOTE AT MEETINGS.

                  To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Securityholders, a
person shall (a) be a registered Holder of one or more Securities, or (b) be a
person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for the registered Holder
or Holders of Securities. The only persons who shall be entitled to be present
or to speak at any meeting of Securityholders shall be the per-

<PAGE>

                                     -61-

sons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any
representative of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the
Company and its counsel.

                  SECTION 10.05. REGULATIONS MAY BE MADE BY TRUSTEE; CONDUCT OF
                                 THE MEETING; VOTING RIGHTS; ADJOURNMENT.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the
Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any
meeting of Securityholders, in regard to proof of the holding of Securities and
of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of
inspectors of votes, and submission and examination of proxies, certificates and
other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the
conduct of the meeting as it shall think appropriate. Such regulations may fix a
record date and time for determining the Holders of record of Securities
entitled to vote at such meeting, in which case those and only those persons who
are Holders of Securities at the record date and time so fixed, or their
proxies, shall be entitled to vote at such meeting whether or not they shall be
such Holders at the time of the meeting.

                  The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a
temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by
the Company or by Securityholders as provided in Section 10.03, in which case
the Company or the Securityholders calling the meeting, as the case may be,
shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a
permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting and
entitled to vote.

                  At any meeting each Securityholder or proxy shall be entitled
to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities held or represented
by him; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting
in respect of any Securities challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the
chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall
have no right to vote other than by virtue of Securities held by him or
instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating him as the person to vote
on behalf of other Securityholders. At any meeting of Securityholders, the
presence of persons holding or representing any number of Securities shall be
sufficient for a quorum. Any meeting of Securityholders duly called pursuant to
the provisions of Section 10.02 or Section 10.03 may be adjourned from time to
time by

<PAGE>

                                     -62-

vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, and the meeting
may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

                  SECTION 10.06. VOTING AT THE MEETING AND RECORD TO BE KEPT.

                  The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of
Securityholders shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the
signatures of the Holders of Securities or of their representatives by proxy and
the principal amount of the Securities voted by the ballot. The permanent
chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes, who shall count
all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make
and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in
duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the
proceedings of each meeting of Securityholders shall be prepared by the
secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to such record the original
reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and
affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts, setting forth a
copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that such notice was mailed as
provided in Section 10.02 or published as provided in Section 10.03. The record
shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and the
secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the
Company and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter
to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

                  Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence
of the matters therein stated.

                  SECTION 10.07. EXERCISE OF RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE OR
                                 SECURITYHOLDERS MAY NOT BE HINDERED
                                 OR DELAYED BY CALL OF MEETING.

                  Nothing in this Article Ten contained shall be deemed or
construed to authorize or permit, by reason of any call of a meeting of
Securityholders or any rights expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make
such call, any hindrance or delay in the exercise of any right or rights
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders under any of
the provisions of this Indenture or of the Securities.

                                   REDEMPTION

                  SECTION 11.01. NOTICES TO TRUSTEE.

                  If the Company elects to redeem the Securities pursuant to any
optional redemption provisions thereof, it shall notify the Trustee of the
redemption date and the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed.

                  The Company shall give each notice provided for in this
Section in an Officers' Certificate at least 45 days before the redemption date
(unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), which
notice shall specify the provisions of such Security pursuant to which the
Company elects to redeem such Securities.

                  If the Company elects to reduce the principal amount of the
Securities to be redeemed pursuant to mandatory redemption provisions thereof,
it shall notify the Trustee of the amount of, and the basis for, any such
reduction. If the Company elects to credit against any such mandatory redemption
Securities it has not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, it
shall deliver such Securities with such notice.

                  SECTION 11.02. SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.

                  If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed by a method that complies
with the requirements of any exchange on which the Securities are listed, or, if
the Securities are not listed on an exchange, on a pro rata basis or by lot. The
Trustee shall make the selection not more than 75 days and not less than 30 days
before the redemption date from the Securities outstanding and not previously
called for redemption. Securities and portions thereof that the Trustee selects
shall be in amounts equal to the minimum authorized denomination for the
Securities to be redeemed or any integral multiple thereof. Provisions of this
Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions
of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company
promptly in writing of the Securities or portions of Securities to be called for
redemption.

                  SECTION 11.03. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

                  Except as otherwise provided as to any series of Securities,
at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company
shall mail a notice of redemption to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee
whose Securities are to be redeemed.

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

                  (1) the redemption date;

                  (2) the redemption price fixed in accordance with the terms of
         the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to the
         date fixed for redemption (the "redemption price");

                  (3) if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of
         the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after
         the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or
         Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be
         issued;

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

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

                  (6) that, unless the Company defaults in payment of the
         redemption price, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases
         to accrue on and after the redemption date;

                  (7) the paragraph of the Securities pursuant to which such
         Securities called for redemption are being redeemed; and

                  (8) the CUSIP number, if any, of the Securities to be
         redeemed.

                  At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the
redemption date, an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such
notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such no-

<PAGE>

                                     -65-

tice as provided in the preceding paragraph. The notice mailed in the manner
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given
whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give
such notice by mail or any defect in the notice of the Holder of any Security
shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any
other Security.

                  SECTION 11.04. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

                  Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section
11.03 hereof, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the
redemption date for the redemption price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent,
such Securities will be paid at the redemption price.

                  SECTION 11.05. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

                  On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption
date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any
subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money
sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Securities called for redemption
on that date other than Securities which have previously been delivered by the
Company to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent shall return to the
Company any money not required for that purpose.

                  SECTION 11.06. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.

                  Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the
Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the
expense of the Company a new Security of like series equal in principal amount
to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                                 PRECEDENT.

                  Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee

         Certificate or Opinion of Counsel has read such covenant or condition;

                  (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the

         contained in such Officers' Certificate of Opinion of Counsel are
         based;

                  (3) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, such

<PAGE>

                                     -68-

waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or by an Affiliate shall
be disregarded, except that for the purpose of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or
consent, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually
knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

                  SECTION 12.07. RULES BY PAYING AGENT, REGISTRAR.

                  The Paying Agent or Registrar each may make reasonable rules
for its functions.

                  SECTION 12.08. LEGAL HOLIDAYS.

                  A "Legal Holiday" is a Saturday, a Sunday, a legal holiday or
a day on which banking institutions are not required to be open. If a payment
date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place
on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall
accrue for the intervening period.

                  SECTION 12.09. GOVERNING LAW.

                  This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard
to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

                  SECTION 12.10. NO ADVERSE INTERPRETATION OF OTHER AGREEMENTS.

                  This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture,

loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

                  A past, present or future director, officer, employee,
stockholder or incorporator, as such, of the Company or any successor
corporation shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company
under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of,
or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder by
accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration of issuance of the Securities. The waiver
may not be effective to waive li-

                                     -69-

abilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC
that such a waiver is against public policy.

                  SECTION 12.12. SUCCESSORS.

                  All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the

                  MANDALAY RESORT GROUP, a Nevada corporation (the "Company,"
which term shall include any successor under the Indenture hereinafter
referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or
registered assigns, the principal sum of $          on August 1, 2008, and to
pay interest thereon at the rate of 9 1/2% per annum, until the entire
principal amount hereof is paid or duly provided for. This Note is one of a
duly authorized series issued by the Company designated as the "9 1/2% Series
A Senior Notes due 2008" (herein called the "Notes").

1.       Interest.

                  The Company will pay interest semiannually on February 1 and
August 1 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date") commencing February 1,
2001. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid, unless the date hereof is a date to which interest has
been paid, in which case from the date of the Note, or, if no interest has been
paid, from August 16, 2000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when there is no
existing default in the payment of interest on the Notes, if the date hereof is
after a Record Date, as that term is defined below, and before the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, this Note shall bear interest from such
Interest Payment Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Company shall default in
the payment of interest due on such

                                     A-2
<PAGE>

Interest Payment Date, then this Note shall bear interest from the next
preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid, or, if no
interest has been paid on the Notes, from August 16, 2000. Interest will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2.       Method of Payment.

                  The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted
interest) to the persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of
business on the January 15 or July 15 preceding the February 1 or August 1, as
the case may be, on which the Interest Payment Date occurs (each, a "Record
Date"). Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal
payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United
States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. However, the Company may pay principal and any interest by its
check payable in such money. It may mail an interest check to a holder's
registered address.

3.       Paying Agent and Registrar.

                  Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.
The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without
notice. The Company or any of its subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent,
Registrar or co-registrar.

4.       Indenture.

                  The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
August 16, 2000, between the Company and the Trustee (the "Indenture"). The
terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of
the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code
77aaa-77bbbb), as amended, as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The Notes
are subject to all such terms and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such
Act for a statement of them. Terms used herein which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

5.       Redemption.

                  a. Optional Redemption. The Company may not redeem the Notes
prior to maturity, except that upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole but not in part, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the
Make-Whole Premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
applicable redemption date.

                                     A-3
<PAGE>

                  "Make-Whole-Premium" means, with respect to any Note at any
redemption date, the excess, if any, of (a) the present value of the sum of the
principal amount that would be payable at maturity of such Note and all
remaining interest payments to and including August 1, 2008, discounted on a
semi-annual bond equivalent basis from August 1, 2008 to the redemption date at
a per annum interest rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Yield (determined on
the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such redemption), plus 50
basis points, over (b) the aggregate principal amount of the Note being
redeemed.

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

                  b. Mandatory Redemption. The Company will not be required to
make any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the Notes.

6.       Offers to Purchase.

                  Section 4.13 of the Indenture provides that upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture) and subject to
further limitations contained therein, the Company will make an offer to
purchase certain amounts of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set
forth in the Indenture.

7.       Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.

                  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may
transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer docu-

                                       A-4
<PAGE>

ments and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the
Indenture.

8.       Persons Deemed Owners.

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

9.       Unclaimed Money.

                  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to
the Company at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to the money
must look to the Company for payment unless an abandoned property law designates
another person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with
respect to such money shall cease.

10.      Discharge Prior to Maturity.

                  Subject to certain conditions, if the Company deposits with
the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay principal of
and accrued interest on the Notes to maturity, the Company will be discharged
(to the extent provided in the Indenture) from the Indenture and the Notes.

11.      Amendment, Supplement, Waiver.

                  Subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the
Holders of each of the affected Notes, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended
or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding affected by such amendment,
supplement or waiver, and any past default or compliance with any provision as
to the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without the consent of any
Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture of the
Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to
provide that the obligations of the Company hereunder may be represented solely
in the records of the Company in addition to or in place of the issue of Notes
or to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of
any Holder.

12.      Restrictive Covenants.

                  The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company
limited to the aggregate principal amount of $    . The Indenture does not limit
the Company from incurring unsecured Debt other than the aggregate principal

                                       A-5
<PAGE>

amount of debt to be issued pursuant to the Indenture. It does limit the ability
of the Company and its subsidiaries to grant certain security interests in their
property without equally and ratably securing the Notes and to engage in certain
sales and leaseback transactions, subject to certain important exceptions
described therein. Once a year the Company must report to the Trustee with
respect to its compliance with such limitations.

13.      Successor Corporation.

                  When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of
its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, the predecessor corporation
will be released from those obligations.

14.      Defaults and Remedies.

                  An Event of Default is anyone of the following: (i) failure of
the Company to pay (whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions)
interest for 30 days on, or the principal when due of, the Notes; (ii) failure
to perform any other covenant contained in the Indenture for 30 days after
notice (other than a Default under Section 4.02 or Article Five which Default
shall be an Event of Default without the notice or passage of time specified in
this clause); (iii) the occurrence of an event of default under any instrument
evidencing Debt of the Company or its subsidiaries entitling the holder or
holders thereof to accelerate the payment of an aggregate principal amount of
$10,000,000 or more of such Debt, which event of default is not cured or waived
in accordance with the provisions of such instrument, or such Debt is not
discharged, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of notice from the
Trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of such series of Debt
Securities then outstanding of such event of default and requiring the Company
to cause such event of default to be cured or such Debt to be discharged; and
(iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than
25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare all the Notes
to be due and payable immediately in accordance with Section 6.02 of the
Indenture. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided
in the Indenture. The Trustee may require security and indemnity satisfactory to
it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The
Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a
default in payment of principal or

                                       A-6
<PAGE>

interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests.

15.      Trustee Dealings with Company.

                  The Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its
individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and
perform services for the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, and may
otherwise deal with the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, as if it were
not Trustee.

16.      No Recourse Against Others.

                  A past, present or future director, officer, employee,
stockholder or incorporator, as such, of the company or any successor
corporation shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company
under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by
reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note
waives and released all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Notes.

17.      Authentication.

                  This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the
certificate of authentication at the end of this Note.

18. Copies of the Indenture.

                  The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request
and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:

                  MANDALAY RESORT GROUP, a Nevada corporation (the "Company,"
which term shall include any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred
to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered
assigns, the principal sum of $    on August 1, 2008, and to pay interest
thereon at the rate of 9 1/2% per annum, until the entire principal amount
hereof is paid or duly provided for. This Note is one of a duly authorized
series issued by the Company designated as the "9 1/2% Series B Senior Notes
due 2008" (herein called the "Notes").

1.       Interest.

                  The Company will pay interest semiannually on February 1 and
August 1 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date") commencing February 1,
2001. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid, unless the date hereof is a date to which interest has
been paid, in which case from the date of the Note, or, if no

                                      B-1
<PAGE>

interest has been paid, from August 16, 2000. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
when there is no existing default in the payment of interest on the Notes, if
the date hereof is after a Record Date, as that term is defined below, and
before the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, this Note shall bear
interest from such Interest Payment Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the
Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such Interest Payment
Date, then this Note shall bear interest from the next preceding Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid, or, if no interest has been
paid on the Notes, from August 16, 2000. Interest will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2.       Method of Payment.

                  The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted
interest) to the persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of
business on the January 15 or July 15 preceding the February 1 or August 1, as
the case may be, on which the Interest Payment Date occurs (each, a "Record
Date"). Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal
payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United
States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. However, the Company may pay principal and any interest by its
check payable in such money. It may mail an interest check to a holder's
registered address.

3.       Paying Agent and Registrar.

                  Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.
The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without
notice. The Company or any of its subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent,
Registrar or co-registrar.

4.       Indenture.

                  The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
August 16, 2000, between the Company and the Trustee (the "Indenture"). The
terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of
the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code
77aaa-77bbbb), as amended, as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The Notes
are subject to all such terms and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such
Act for a statement of them. Terms used herein which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

                                      B-2
<PAGE>

5.       Redemption.

                  a. Optional Redemption. The Company may not redeem the Notes
prior to maturity, except that upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole but not in part, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the
Make-Whole Premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
applicable redemption date.

                  "Make-Whole-Premium" means, with respect to any Note at any
redemption date, the excess, if any, of (a) the present value of the sum of the
principal amount that would be payable at maturity of such Note and all
remaining interest payments to and including August 1, 2008, discounted on a
semi-annual bond equivalent basis from August 1, 2008 to the redemption date at
a per annum interest rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Yield (determined on
the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such redemption), plus 50
basis points, over (b) the aggregate principal amount of the Note being
redeemed.

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

                  b. Mandatory Redemption. The Company will not be required to
make any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the Notes.

6.       Offers to Purchase.

                  Section 4.13 of the Indenture provides that upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture) and subject to
further limitations contained therein, the Company will make an offer to
purchase certain amounts of the

                                      B-3
<PAGE>

Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

7.       Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.

                  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may
transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by
the Indenture.

8.       Persons Deemed Owners.

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

9.       Unclaimed Money.

                  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to
the Company at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to the money
must look to the Company for payment unless an abandoned property law designates
another person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with
respect to such money shall cease.

10.      Discharge Prior to Maturity.

                  Subject to certain conditions, if the Company deposits with
the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay principal of
and accrued interest on the Notes to maturity, the Company will be discharged
(to the extent provided in the Indenture) from the Indenture and the Notes.

11.      Amendment, Supplement, Waiver.

                  Subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the
Holders of each of the affected Notes, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended
or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding affected by such amendment,
supplement or waiver, and any past default or compliance with any provision as
to the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without the consent of any
Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture of the
Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to
provide that the obligations of the Company hereunder may be represented solely
in the records of the Com-

                                      B-4
<PAGE>

pany in addition to or in place of the issue of Notes or to make any change
that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

12.      Restrictive Covenants.

                  The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company
limited to the aggregate principal amount of $    . The Indenture does not limit
the Company from incurring unsecured Debt other than the aggregate principal
amount of debt to be issued pursuant to the Indenture. It does limit the ability
of the Company and its subsidiaries to grant certain security interests in their
property without equally and ratably securing the Notes and to engage in certain
sales and leaseback transactions, subject to certain important exceptions
described therein. Once a year the Company must report to the Trustee with
respect to its compliance with such limitations.

13.      Successor Corporation.

                  When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of
its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, the predecessor corporation
will be released from those obligations.

14.      Defaults and Remedies.

                  An Event of Default is anyone of the following: (i) failure of
the Company to pay (whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions)
interest for 30 days on, or the principal when due of, the Notes; (ii) failure
to perform any other covenant contained in the Indenture for 30 days after
notice (other than a Default under Section 4.02 or Article Five which Default
shall be an Event of Default without the notice or passage of time specified in
this clause); (iii) the occurrence of an event of default under any instrument
evidencing Debt of the Company or its subsidiaries entitling the holder or
holders thereof to accelerate the payment of an aggregate principal amount of
$10,000,000 or more of such Debt, which event of default is not cured or waived
in accordance with the provisions of such instrument, or such Debt is not
discharged, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of notice from the
Trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of such series of Debt
Securities then outstanding of such event of default and requiring the Company
to cause such event of default to be cured or such Debt to be discharged; and
(iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than
25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare all the Notes
to be due and pay-

                                      B-5
<PAGE>

able immediately in accordance with Section 6.02 of the Indenture. Holders may
not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.
The Trustee may require security and indemnity satisfactory to it before it
enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the
Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from
Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of
principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interests.

15.      Trustee Dealings with Company.

                  The Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, in
its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from,
and perform services for the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, as if
it were not Trustee.

16.      No Recourse Against Others.

                  A past, present or future director, officer, employee,
stockholder or incorporator, as such, of the company or any successor
corporation shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company
under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or
by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a
Note waives and released all such liability. The waiver and release are part
of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

17.      Authentication.

                  This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the
certificate of authentication at the end of this Note.

18. Copies of the Indenture.

                  The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request
and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:

                  1. We have received a copy of the Offering Memorandum (the
         "Offering Memorandum"), dated August 9, 2000, relating to the Notes and
         such other information as we deem necessary in order to make our
         investment decision. We acknowledge that we have read and agreed to the
         matters stated in the section entitled "Transfer Restrictions" of such
         Offering Memorandum.

                  2. We understand that any subsequent transfer of the Notes is
         subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the
         Indenture relating to the Notes (the "Indenture") as described in the
         Offering Memorandum and the undersigned agrees to be bound by, and not
         to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes except in compliance
         with, such restrictions and conditions and the Securities Act of 1933,
         as amended (the "Securities Act"), and all applicable State securities
         laws.

                  3. We understand that the offer and sale of the Notes have not
         been registered under the Securities Act, and that the Notes may not be
         offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or
         benefit of, U.S. persons except as permitted in the following sentence.
         We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we
         are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell any Notes, we
         will do so only (i) to the Company or any subsidiary thereof, (ii)
         inside the United States in accordance with Rule 144A under the

         States to an institutional

         "accredited investor" (as defined below) that, prior to such transfer,
         furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by a U.S. broker-dealer) to
         the Trustee (as defined in the Indenture) a signed letter containing
         certain representations and agreements relating to the restrictions
         on transfer of the Notes (the form of which letter can be obtained
         from the Trustee), (iv) outside the United States in accordance with
         Rule 904 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act to
         non-U.S. persons, (v) pursuant to the exemption from registration
         provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available), or (vi)
         pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
         Act, and we further agree to provide to any person purchasing any of
         the Notes from us a notice advising such purchaser that resales of
         the Notes are restricted as stated herein.

                  4. We understand that, on any proposed resale of any Notes, we
         will be required to furnish to the Trustee and the Company such
         certification, legal opinions and other information as the Trustee and
         the Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale
         complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that
         the Notes purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.

                  5. We are an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined
         in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities
         Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business
         matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our
         investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are
         acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their
         investment, as the case may be.

                  6. We are acquiring the Notes purchased by us for our account
         or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional
         "accredited investor") as to each of which we exercise sole investment
         discretion.

         the date on which such Note is distributed to the public pursuant to
         Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then
         in force, but not Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (v) such Note
         shall have been otherwise transferred by the holder thereof and a new
         Note not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have

<PAGE>

                                      -6-

been delivered by the Company and subsequent disposition of such Note shall
not require registration or qualification under the Securities Act or any
similar state law then in force or (vi) such Note ceases to be outstanding.

                  "TRUSTEE" shall mean the trustee with respect to the Notes
under the Indenture.

                  2.  REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

                  (a) EXCHANGE OFFER. The Company shall, for the benefit of
the Holders, at the Company's cost, (i) unless the Exchange Offer would not be
permitted by applicable law or SEC policy, file with the SEC within 30 days
after the Closing Time an Exchange Offer Registration Statement on an
appropriate form under the Securities Act covering the offer by the Company to
the Holders to exchange all of the Transfer Restricted Notes (other than
Private Exchange Notes (as defined below)) for a like principal amount of
Exchange Notes, (ii) unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by
applicable law or SEC policy, use its best efforts to have such Exchange Offer
Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC
not later than 120 days after the Closing Time (the "TARGET EFFECTIVENESS
DATE"), (iii) have such Registration Statement remain effective until the
closing of the Exchange Offer and (iv) unless the Exchange Offer would not be
permitted by applicable law or SEC policy, commence the Exchange Offer and use
its best efforts to issue, on or prior to the 150th day after the Closing Time
(the "TARGET CONSUMMATION DATE"), Exchange Notes in exchange for all Notes
tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer. Upon the effectiveness of the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly commence the
Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Exchange Offer to enable each
Holder eligible and electing to participate in the Exchange Offer to exchange
Transfer Restricted Notes for Exchange Notes (assuming that such Holder is not
an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the
Securities Act and is not a broker-dealer tendering Transfer Restricted Notes
acquired directly from the Company for its own account, acquires the Exchange
Notes in the ordinary course of such Holder's business and has no arrangements
or understandings with any Person to participate in the Exchange Offer for the
purpose of distributing (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the
Exchange Notes) and to transfer such Exchange Notes from and after their
receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and
under state securities or blue sky laws.

                                      -7-

                  In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall:

                   (i) mail to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming
         part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an
         appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;

                  (ii) keep the Exchange Offer open for acceptance for a period
         of not less than 20 Business Days after the date notice thereof is
         mailed to the Holders (or longer if required by applicable law) (such
         period referred to herein as the "EXCHANGE PERIOD");

                  (iii) utilize the services of the Depositary for the Exchange
         Offer;

                  (iv) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Notes at any time
         prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last Business
         Day of the Exchange Period, by sending to the institution specified in
         the notice, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter
         setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Notes
         delivered for exchange, and a statement that such Holder is
         withdrawing his election to have such Notes exchanged; and

                   (v) otherwise comply in all material respects with all
         applicable laws relating to the Exchange Offer.

                  If, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Initial
Purchasers hold any Notes acquired by them and not having been sold in the
initial distribution, the Company upon the request of any Initial Purchaser
shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Notes in the Exchange
Offer, issue and deliver to such Initial Purchaser in exchange (the "PRIVATE
EXCHANGE") for the Notes held by such Initial Purchaser, a like principal
amount of debt securities of the Company that are identical (except that such
securities shall bear appropriate transfer restrictions) to the Exchange Notes
(the "PRIVATE EXCHANGE NOTES").

                  The Exchange Notes and the Private Exchange Notes shall be
issued under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical to all material
respects to the Indenture and that, in either case, has been qualified under
the TIA or is exempt from such qualification and shall provide that the
Exchange Notes shall not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in
the Indenture. The Indenture or such indenture shall

<PAGE>

                                      -8-

provide that the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Notes
shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that none of
the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes or the Notes will have the
right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. The Private
Exchange Notes shall be of the same series as and the Company shall use all
commercially reasonable efforts to have the Private Exchange Notes bear the
same CUSIP number as the Exchange Notes. The Company shall not have any
liability under this Agreement solely as a result of such Private Exchange
Notes not bearing the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Notes.

                  The Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange shall not be
subject to any conditions, other than that (i) the Exchange Offer or Private
Exchange, as the case may be, does not violate applicable law or any
applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC, (ii) no action or
proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any
governmental agency that might materially impair the ability of the Company to
proceed with the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, and no material
adverse development shall have occurred in any existing action or proceeding
with respect to the Company and (iii) all governmental approvals shall have
been obtained, which approvals the Company deems necessary for the
consummation of the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange. As soon as practicable
after the close of the Exchange Offer and/or the Private Exchange, as the case
may be, the Company shall:

                   (i) accept for exchange all Transfer Restricted Notes or
         portions thereof properly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant
         to the Exchange Offer in accordance with the terms of the Exchange
         Offer Registration Statement and the letter of transmittal that is an
         exhibit thereto;

                  (ii) accept for exchange all Notes properly tendered pursuant
         to the Private Exchange; and

                 (iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for
         cancellation all Transfer Restricted Notes or portions thereof so
         accepted for exchange by the Company, and issue, and cause the Trustee
         under the Indenture to promptly authenticate and deliver to each
         Holder, a new Exchange Note or Private Exchange Note, as the case may
         be, equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Transfer
         Restricted Notes surrendered by such Holder and accepted for exchange.

                                      -9-

                  To the extent not prohibited by any law or applicable
interpretation of the staff of the SEC, the Company shall use its best efforts
to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other
applicable laws in connection with the Exchange Offer. Each Holder of Transfer
Restricted Notes who wishes to exchange such Transfer Restricted Notes for
Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer will be required to make certain
customary representations in connection therewith, including representations
that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule
405 under the Securities Act, that any Exchange Notes to be received by it
will be acquired in the ordinary course of business and that at the time of
the commencement of the Exchange Offer it has no arrangement with any Person
to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act)
of the Exchange Notes. The Company shall inform the Initial Purchasers of the
names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made, and the
Initial Purchasers shall have the right to contact such Holders and otherwise
facilitate the tender of Transfer Restricted Notes in the Exchange Offer.

                  Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with
this Section 2(a), the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply,
MUTATIS MUTANDIS, solely with respect to Transfer Restricted Notes that are
Private Exchange Notes and Exchange Notes held by Participating
Broker-Dealers, and the Company shall have no further obligation to register
Transfer Restricted Notes (other than Private Exchange Notes) pursuant to
Section 2(b) hereof.

                  (b) SHELF REGISTRATION. If (i) the Company is not permitted
to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to consummate the
Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law
or SEC policy, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason consummated
by the Target Consummation Date, (iii) any holder of Notes notifies the
Company that (a) due to a change in law or policy, in the opinion of counsel,
it is not entitled to participate in the Exchange Offer, (b) due to a change
in law or policy, in the opinion of counsel, it may not resell the Exchange
Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a
prospectus and (x) the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such holder and
(y) such prospectus is not promptly amended or modified in order to be
suitable for use in connection with such resales for such holder and all
similarly situated holders or (c) it is a broker-dealer and

<PAGE>
                                      -10-

owns Notes acquired directly from the Company or an affiliate of the Company,
(iv) the holders of a majority of the Notes may not resell the Exchange Notes
acquired by them in the Exchange Offer to the public without restriction
under the Securities Act and without restriction under applicable blue sky or
state securities laws or (v) the Exchange Offer shall not have been
consummated within 150 days after the Issue Date (the date of any of (i)-(v),
the "SHELF REGISTRATION EVENT DATE"), then the Company shall, at its cost,
use its best efforts to cause to be filed a Shelf Registration Statement
prior to the later of (A) 30 days after the Shelf Registration Event Date and
(B) 150 days after the Issue Date and use its best efforts to cause the Shelf
Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC on or prior to 90
days after the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement. Each Holder as to
which any Shelf Registration is being effected agrees to furnish to the
Company all information with respect to such Holder necessary to make any
information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially
misleading.

                  The Company agrees to use its best efforts to keep the
Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period of two years
from the Issue Date (subject to extension pursuant to the last paragraph of
Section 3 hereof) (or such shorter period that will terminate when all of the
Transfer Restricted Notes covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have
been sold pursuant thereto or cease to be outstanding) (the "EFFECTIVENESS
PERIOD"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Effectiveness Period in respect of the
Shelf Registration Statement shall be extended to the extent required to
permit dealers to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements
of Rule 174 under the Securities Act and as otherwise provided herein. The
Company shall not permit any securities other than Transfer Restricted Notes
to be included in the Shelf Registration. The Company further agrees, if
necessary, to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, if
required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement
or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for
shelf registrations, and the Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of
Transfer Restricted Notes copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly
after its being used or filed with the SEC.

                  (c) EXPENSES. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses
in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof and
the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel, if any, designated in writing
by the Ma-

<PAGE>
                                      -11-

jority Holders to act as counsel for the Holders of the Transfer Restricted
Notes in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement. Except as provided
in the preceding sentence, each Holder shall pay all expenses of its own
counsel, underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any,
relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder's Transfer Restricted
Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

                  (d) EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT. An Exchange Offer
Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or a Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become
effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of Transfer
Restricted Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with
by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any
other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement will be deemed
not to have been effective during the period of such interference, until the
offering of Transfer Restricted Notes may legally resume. The Company will be
deemed not to have used its best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be,
to become, or to remain, effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily
takes any action that would result in any such Registration Statement not being
declared effective or in the Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes covered
thereby not being able to exchange or offer and sell such Transfer Restricted
Notes during that period, unless such action is required by applicable law and
except as otherwise provided in the second paragraph of Section 2(e) below.

                  (e) ADDITIONAL INTEREST. In the event that (i) the applicable
Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the date
specified herein for such filing, (ii) the applicable Registration Statement is
not declared effective on or prior to the date specified herein for such
effectiveness after such obligation arises (the "EFFECTIVENESS TARGET DATE"),
(iii) if the Exchange Offer is required to be consummated hereunder, the Company
fails to consummate the Exchange Offer within 30 Business Days of the
Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or (iv) the applicable Registration Statement is filed and declared
effective during the period effectiveness is required by Section 2(e) and 3(a)
but shall thereafter cease to be effective or usable without being succeeded
immediately by an additional Registration Statement covering the Transfer
Restricted Notes that has been filed and declared effective (each such

<PAGE>
                                      -12-

event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a "REGISTRATION DEFAULT"),
then the interest rate on the Transfer Restricted Notes as to which such
Registration Default relates will increase ("ADDITIONAL INTEREST"), with
respect to the first 90-day period (or portion thereof) while a Registration
Default is continuing immediately following the occurrence of such
Registration Default in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal
amount of the Notes. The rate of additional Interest will increase by an
additional 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes for each
subsequent 90-day period (or portion thereof) while a Registration Default is
continuing until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum
amount of 1.00% of the principal amount of the Notes. Additional Interest
shall be computed based on the actual number of days elapsed during which any
such Registration Defaults exists. Following the cure of a Registration
Default, the accrual of Additional Interest with respect to such Registration
Default will cease.

                  If the Company issues a notice that the Shelf Registration
Statement is unusable due to the pendency of an announcement of a material
corporate transaction, or such notice is required under applicable securities
laws to be issued by the Company, and the aggregate number of days in any
consecutive twelve-month period for which the Shelf Registration Statement shall
not be usable due to all such notices issued or required to be issued exceeds 60
days in the aggregate, then the interest rate borne by the Notes will be
increased by 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes for the first
90-day period (or portion thereof) beginning on the 31st such date that such
Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be usable, which rate shall be increased
by an additional 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes at the
beginning of each subsequent 90-day period (or portion thereof), up to a maximum
amount of 1.00% of the principal amount of the Notes. Upon the Shelf
Registration Statement once again becoming usable, the interest rate borne by
the Notes will be reduced to the original interest rate if the Company is
otherwise in compliance with this Agreement at such time. Additional Interest
shall be computed based on the actual number of days elapsed in each 90-day
period in which the Shelf Registration Statement is unusable.

                  The Company shall notify the Trustee within three Business
Days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which
Additional Interest is required to be paid (an "EVENT DATE"). Additional
Interest shall be paid by depositing with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit
of the

<PAGE>
                                      -13-

Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes, on or before the applicable semi-annual
interest payment date, immediately available funds in sums sufficient to pay
the Additional Interest then due. The Additional Interest due shall be
payable on each interest payment date to the record Holder of Notes entitled
to receive the interest payment to be paid on such date as set forth in the
Indenture. Each obligation to pay Additional Interest shall be deemed to
accrue from and including the day following the applicable Event Date.

                  3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with the obligations
of the Company with respect to the Registration Statements pursuant to Sections
2(a) and 2(b) hereof, the Company shall:

                    (a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement
         or Registration Statements as prescribed by Sections 2(a) and 2(b)
         hereof within the relevant time period specified in Section 2 hereof on
         the appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form (i) shall be
         selected by the Company, (ii) shall, in the case of a Shelf
         Registration, be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted
         Notes by the selling Holders thereof and (iii) shall comply as to form
         in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form
         and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed
         therewith; and use its best efforts to cause such Registration
         Statement to become effective and remain effective in accordance with
         Section 2 hereof. The Company shall not file any Registration Statement
         or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in respect of
         which the Holders must provide information for inclusion therein
         without the Holders being afforded an opportunity to review such
         documentation a reasonable time prior to the filing of such document if
         the Majority Holders or such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case
         may be, their counsel or the managing underwriters, if any, shall
         reasonably object;

                    (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
         post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be
         necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the
         Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case may be; and
         cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus
         supplement and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or
         any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act, and
         comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and
         the rules and regulations

<PAGE>
                                      -14-

         promulgated thereunder applicable to it with respect to the
         disposition of all securities covered by each Registration Statement
         during the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case
         may be, in accordance with the intended method or methods of
         distribution by the selling Holders thereof described in this Agreement
         (including sales by any Participating Broker-Dealer);

                    (c) in the case of a Shelf Registration, (i) notify each
         Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes, at least three Business Days prior
         to filing, that a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the
         Transfer Restricted Notes is being filed and advising such Holder that
         the distribution of Transfer Restricted Notes will be made in
         accordance with the method selected by the Majority Holders; and (ii)
         furnish to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes, without charge, as
         many copies of each Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto
         and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request, in
         order to facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Notes;
         and (iii) subject to the last paragraph of Section 3 hereof, hereby
         consent to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
         thereto by each of the selling Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes in
         connection with the offering and sale of the Transfer Restricted Notes
         covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
         subject to the limitations on the use thereof provided in Sections 2(d)
         and 2(e);

                    (d) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its best
         efforts to register or qualify, as may be required by applicable law,
         the Transfer Restricted Notes under all applicable state securities or
         "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions by the time the applicable
         Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC as any Holder
         of Transfer Restricted Notes covered by a Registration Statement shall
         reasonably request in advance of such date of effectiveness, and do any
         and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or
         advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in each
         such jurisdiction of such Transfer Restricted Notes owned by such
         Holder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to
         (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a broker or dealer in
         securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required
         to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (ii) file any general consent to
         service of process or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such
         jurisdiction if it is not so subject;

<PAGE>
                                      -15-

                    (e) in the case of (1) a Shelf Registration or (2)
         Participating Broker-Dealers who have notified the Company that they
         will be utilizing the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
         Registration Statement as provided in Section 3(s) hereof, notify each
         Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes, or such Participating
         Broker-Dealers, as the case may be, and their counsel if known to the
         Company, if any, promptly and confirm such notice in writing (i) when a
         Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective
         amendments and supplements thereto become effective, (ii) of any
         request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments and
         supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional
         information after the Registration Statement has become effective,
         (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of
         any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement
         or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if the
         Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the
         qualification of the Transfer Restricted Notes or the Exchange Notes to
         be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any
         jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (v)
         of the happening of any event or the failure of any event to occur or
         the discovery of any facts or otherwise, during the period a Shelf
         Registration Statement is effective that makes any statement made in
         such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus untrue in any
         material respect or that causes such Registration Statement or
         Prospectus to omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
         statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
         were made, not misleading and (vi) of the Company's reasonable
         determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration
         Statement would be appropriate;

                    (f) make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of
         any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement as
         soon as practicable;

                    (g) in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each
         Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes, without charge, at least one
         conformed copy of each Registration Statement relating to such Shelf
         Registration and any post-effective amendment thereto (without
         documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless
         requested);

<PAGE>
                                      -16-

                    (h) in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the
         selling Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes to facilitate the timely
         preparation and delivery of certificates not bearing any restrictive
         legends representing Notes covered by such Shelf Registration to be
         sold and relating to the subsequent transfer of such Notes; and cause
         such Transfer Restricted Notes to be in such denominations (consistent
         with the provisions of the Indenture) and registered in such names as
         the selling Holders may reasonably request at least two Business Days
         prior to the closing of any sale of Transfer Restricted Notes;

                    (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration or an Exchange Offer
         Registration, upon the occurrence of any circumstance contemplated by
         Section 3(e)(ii), 3(e)(iii), 3(e)(iv), 3(e)(v) or 3(e)(vi) hereof, use
         its best efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to
         a Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document
         incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document
         so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Transfer
         Restricted Notes, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement
         of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
         the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
         they were made, not misleading; and to notify each Holder to suspend
         use of the Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the occurrence
         of such an event, and each Holder hereby agrees to suspend use of the
         Prospectus until the Company has amended or supplemented the Prospectus
         to correct such misstatement or omission;

                    (j) obtain a CUSIP number for all Exchange Notes or Private
         Exchange Notes, as the case may be, not later than the effective date
         of a Registration Statement, and provide the Trustee with certificates
         for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may
         be, in a form eligible for deposit with the Depositary;

                    (k) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust
         Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"), in connection with the
         registration of the Exchange Notes or Transfer Restricted Notes, as the
         case may be, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such
         changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so
         qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA and execute, and use
         its best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may
         be required to effect such changes, and all other forms and documents
         required to be

         any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in

         (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof in
         form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority
         in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Notes being sold,
         addressed to each selling Holder covering the matters customarily
         covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other
         matters as may be reasonably requested by such Holders; (iii) obtain
         "cold comfort" letters and updates thereof from the independent
         certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any
         other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the
         Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial
         statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in
         the Registration Statement), addressed to the selling Holders of

         underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain
         indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable than those

         acceptable to the Company and the Holders of a majority in aggregate
         principal amount of Transfer Restricted Notes covered by such
         Registration with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to
         said Section including, without limitation, such selling Holders). The
         above shall be done at each closing in respect of the sale of Transfer
         Restricted Notes, or as and to the extent required thereunder;

                    (m) if (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section
         2(b) or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer Registration
         Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) is required to be delivered
         under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks
         to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, make available for
         inspection by each such person who would be an "underwriter" as a
         result of either (i) the sale by such person of Notes covered by such
         Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) the sale during the Applicable
         Period by a Participating Broker-Dealer of Exchange Notes (provided
         that a Participating Broker-Dealer shall not be deemed to be an
         underwriter solely as a result of it being required to deliver a
         prospectus in connection with any resale of Exchange Notes) and any
         attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such person
         (collectively, the "INSPECTORS"), at the offices where normally kept,
         during reasonable business hours, all financial and other records,
         pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its
         subsidiaries (collectively, the "RECORDS") as shall be reasonably
         necessary to enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence
         responsibilities, and cause the officers, directors and employees of
         the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information in each case
         reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such
         Registration Statement. Records that the Company determines, in good
         faith, to be confidential and any Records that it notifies the
         Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors
         unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or
         correct a material misstatement or omission in such Registration
         Statement during a period with respect to which the Company has not
         given notice that the Registration Statement is unusable, (ii) the
         release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other
         order from a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) the information
         in such Records has been made generally available to the public, and,
         in the instances referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), the notice to the
         Company and related provisions described in this Section 2(m) have been
         complied with. Each selling Holder of such Transfer Restricted Notes
         and each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to agree
         that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall
         be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any
         market transactions in the securities of the Company unless and until
         such is made generally available to the public. Each Selling Holder of
         such Transfer Restricted Notes and each such Participating
         Bro-

         ker-Dealer will be required to further agree that it will, upon
         learning that disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or
         correct a material misstatement or omission under the circumstances
         described in clause (i) above, give notice to the Company and allow the
         Company at its expense to correct the material misstatement or
         omission. Each selling Holder of such Transfer Restricted Notes and
         each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to further agree
         that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought
         in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and
         allow the Company at its expense to undertake appropriate action to
         prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential;

                    (n) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
         SEC and make generally available to its securityholders earning
         statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
         Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the
         Securities Act) no later than 60 days after the end of any 12-month
         period (or 135 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period
         is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in
         which Transfer Restricted Notes are sold to underwriters in a firm
         commitment or best efforts underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold
         to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the
         first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of a
         Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month
         periods;

                    (o) upon consummation of an Exchange Offer or a Private
         Exchange, obtain an opinion of counsel to the Company addressed to the
         Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes
         participating in the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the
         case may be, that (i) the Company has duly authorized, executed and
         delivered the Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Notes, as the case
         may be, and (ii) each of the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange
         Notes, as the case may be, constitute a legal, valid and binding
         obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
         accordance with its respective terms (in each case, with customary
         exceptions);

                    (p) if an Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be
         consummated, upon proper delivery of the Transfer Restricted Notes by
         Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the
         Company) in exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange
         Notes, as the case

<PAGE>

                                      -20-

         may be, the Company shall mark, or cause to be marked, on such
         Transfer Restricted Notes and on the books of the Trustee, the
         Transfer Agent, the Registrar and the Depositary delivered by such
         Holders that such Transfer Restricted Notes are being canceled in
         exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as
         the case may be; but in no event shall such Transfer Restricted
         Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied solely as a result of
         being exchanged for Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes in the
         Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be;

                    (q) cooperate with each seller of Transfer Restricted Notes
         covered by any Registration Statement participating in the disposition
         of such Transfer Restricted Notes and one counsel acting on behalf of
         all such sellers in connection with the filings, if any, required to be
         made with the NASD;

                    (r) use its best efforts to take all other steps necessary
         to effect the registration of the Transfer Restricted Notes covered by
         a Registration Statement contemplated hereby; and

                    (s) (A) in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration
         Statement (i) include in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a
         section entitled "Plan of Distribution," which section shall be
         reasonably acceptable to Banc of America, as representative of the
         Initial Purchasers, and which shall contain a summary statement of the
         positions taken or policies made by the staff of the SEC with respect
         to the potential "underwriter" status of any broker-dealer (a
         "PARTICIPATING BROKER-DEALER") that holds Transfer Restricted Notes
         acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or
         other trading activities and that will be the beneficial owner (as
         defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Notes to be
         received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer, whether such
         positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of
         the SEC or such positions or policies, in the reasonable judgment of
         Banc of America, as representative of the Initial Purchasers, represent
         the prevailing views of the staff of the SEC, including a statement
         that any such broker-dealer who receives Exchange Notes for Transfer
         Restricted Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be deemed a
         statutory underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting the
         requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of
         such Ex-

<PAGE>

                                      -21-

         change Notes, (ii) furnish to each Participating Broker-Dealer
         who has delivered to the Company the notice referred to in Section
         3(e), without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus included in the
         Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement
         thereto, as such Participating Broker-Dealer may reasonably request;
         (iii) hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus forming part of the
         Exchange Offer Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement
         thereto, by any Person subject to the prospectus delivery requirements
         of the SEC, including all Participating Broker-Dealers, in connection
         with the sale or transfer of the Exchange Notes covered by the
         Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (iv) use its best
         efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and
         to amend and supplement the Prospectus contained therein in order to
         permit such Prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all Persons subject
         to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such
         period of time as such Persons must comply with such requirements in
         order to resell the Exchange Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such period
         shall not be required to exceed 90 days (or such longer period if
         extended pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3 hereof) (the
         "APPLICABLE PERIOD"), and (iv) include in the transmittal letter or
         similar documentation to be executed by an exchange offeree in order to
         participate in the Exchange Offer (x) the following provision:

                  "If the exchange offeree is a broker-dealer holding Transfer
                  Restricted Notes acquired for its own account as a result of
                  market-making activities or other trading activities, it will
                  deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the
                  Securities Act in connection with any resale of Exchange Notes
                  received in respect of such Transfer Restricted Notes pursuant
                  to the Exchange Offer;"

         and (y) a statement to the effect that by a broker-dealer making the
         acknowledgment described in clause (x) and by delivering a Prospectus
         in connection with the exchange of Transfer Restricted Notes, such
         broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an underwriter
         within the meaning of the Securities Act; and

             (B) in the case of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the
         Company agrees to deliver, upon request, to the Trustee or to
         Participating Broker-Dealers upon con-

                                      -22-

         summation of the Exchange Offer (i) an opinion of counsel substantially
         in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (ii) an officers'
         certificate containing certifications substantially similar to those
         set forth in Section 5(d) of the Purchase Agreement.

                  The Company may require each seller of Transfer Restricted
Notes as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company
such information regarding such seller and the proposed distribution of such
Transfer Restricted Notes, as the Company may from time to time reasonably
request in writing. The Company may exclude from such registration the Transfer
Restricted Notes of any seller who fails to furnish such information within a
reasonable time (not to exceed 10 Business Days) after receiving such request
and shall be under no obligation to compensate any such seller for any lost
income, interest or other opportunity forgone, or any liability incurred, as a
result of the Company's decision to exclude such seller.

                  In the case of (1) a Shelf Registration Statement or (2)
Participating Broker-Dealers who have notified the Company that they will be
utilizing the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
as provided in Section 3(s) hereof, that are seeking to sell Exchange Notes and
are required to deliver Prospectuses, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of
any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described
in Section 3(e)(ii), 3(e)(iii), 3(e)(iv), 3(e)(v) or 3(e)(vi) hereof, such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Notes
pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies
of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(i) hereof or
until it is advised in writing (the "ADVICE") by the Company that the use of the
applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Company, such
Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies in such
Holder's possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's
possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Notes or
Exchange Notes, as the case may be, current at the time of receipt of such
notice. If the Company shall give any such notice to suspend the disposition of
Transfer Restricted Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, pursuant to a
Registration Statement, the Company shall use its best efforts to file and have
declared effective (if an amendment) as soon as practicable an amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus and, in the case of an
amendment, have such amendment declared effective as soon as practicable and
shall extend the

<PAGE>

                                      -23-

period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective
pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days in the period from and
including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date
when the Company shall have made available to the Holders (x) copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions or
(y) the Advice.

                  4. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) The Company shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, each Holder, each
Participating Broker-Dealer, each underwriter who participates in an offering of
Transfer Restricted Notes, their respective affiliates, each Person, if any, who
controls any of such parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, as follows:

                   (i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
         expense whatsoever, joint or several, as incurred, arising out of any
         untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
         contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement
         thereto), covering Transfer Restricted Notes or Exchange Notes,
         including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the
         omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to
         be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
         misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
         statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any
         amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission
         therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
         therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
         not misleading;

                  (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
         expense whatsoever, joint or several, as incurred, to the extent of the
         aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any
         investigation or proceeding by any court or governmental agency or
         body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon
         any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
         statement or omission; PROVIDED that (subject to Sections 4(c) and 4(d)
         below) any such settlement is effected with the prior written consent
         of the Company; and

                 (iii) against any and all expenses whatsoever, as incurred
         (including reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel (in
         addition to any local counsel) chosen by Banc of America, such Holder,
         such Participating Broker-Dealer

<PAGE>

                                      -24-

         or any underwriter (except to the extent otherwise expressly provided
         in Section 4(c) hereof)), reasonably incurred in investigating,
         preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation
         or proceeding by any court or governmental agency or body, commenced
         or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
         statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
         omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under
         subparagraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 4(a);

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this indemnity does not apply to any loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of an untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission (i) made in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished in writing to the Company by or
on behalf of such Initial Purchaser, such Holder, such Participating
Broker-Dealer or any underwriter with respect to such Initial Purchaser, Holder,
Participating Broker-Dealer or underwriter, as the case may be, expressly for
use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or
any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (ii) contained in any
preliminary prospectus if such Initial Purchaser, such Holder, such
Participating Broker-Dealer or such underwriter failed to send or deliver a copy
of the Prospectus (in the form it was first provided to such parties for
confirmation of sales) to the Person asserting such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities on or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of any sale of
securities covered thereby to such Person in any case where the Company shall
have previously furnished copies thereof to such Initial Purchaser, such Holder,
such Participating Broker-Dealer or such underwriter, as the case may be, in
accordance with this Agreement, at or prior to the written confirmation of the
sale of such Notes to such Person and the untrue statement contained in or the
omission from the preliminary prospectus was corrected in the Final Prospectus
(or any amendment or supplement thereto). Any amounts advanced by the Company to
an indemnified party pursuant to this Section 4 as a result of such losses shall
be returned to the Company if it shall be finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a judgment not subject to appeal or final review that
such indemnified party was not entitled to indemnification by the Company.

                  (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Initial Purchaser, each
underwriter who participates in an offering of Transfer Restricted Notes and the
other selling Holders and

<PAGE>

                                      -25-

each of their respective directors and each Person, if any, who controls any
of the Company, any Initial Purchaser, any underwriter or any other selling
Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever described in the indemnity contained in Section 4(a) hereof, as
incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged
untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such selling Holder
with respect to such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement
(or any supplement thereto), or any such Prospectus (or any amendment
thereto); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in the case of the Shelf Registration
Statement, no such Holder shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess
of the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of
Transfer Restricted Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement;
PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that for purposes of Section 4(a)(iii), such
counsel shall (subject to Section 4(c) hereof) be chosen by the Company.

                  (c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as
reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced
against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to
so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from
any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a
result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability that it
may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to Section 4(a) above, one counsel to all the
indemnified parties shall be selected by Banc of America, and, in the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to Section 4(b) above, counsel to all the
indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may
participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the
consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it so elects within a reasonable time after
receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other
indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of such
action with counsel chosen by it and approved by the indemnified parties
defendant in such action (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld),
unless such indemnified parties reasonably object to such assumption on the

<PAGE>

                                      -26-

ground that there may be legal defenses available to them which are different
from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party. If an
indemnifying party assumes the defense of such action, the indemnifying parties
shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified
parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action. In no event shall
the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one
counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for
all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but
similar or related actions arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by
any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought
under this Section 4 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or
potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i)
includes a full and unconditional release of each indemnified party from all
liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and
the offer and sale of any Notes and (ii) does not include a statement as to or
an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
indemnified party.

                  (d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested
an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel pursuant to Section 4(a)(iii) above, then such indemnifying
party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature
contemplated by Section 4(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i)
such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such
indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall
have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to
such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not
have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to
the date of such settlement. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence,
if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party
to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, an
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of the nature
contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its consent if such
indemnifying party (i) reimburses the indemnified party in accordance with such
request to the extent it considers such request to be reasonable and (ii)
pro-

<PAGE>

                                      -27-

vides written notice to the indemnified party which states the indemnifying
party's basis for its belief that any unpaid balance of such request is
unreasonable, in each case prior to the date of such settlement.

                  (e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances under which any of the indemnity provisions set forth in this
Section 4 is for any reason held to be unavailable to the indemnified parties
although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company, the Initial
Purchasers and the Holders, as applicable, shall contribute to the aggregate
losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by
such indemnity agreement incurred by the Company, the Initial Purchasers and the
Holders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person that was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. As between the Company and the Initial Purchasers
and the Holders, such parties shall contribute to such aggregate losses,
liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such
indemnity agreement in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Holder of Transfer
Restricted Notes, the Participating Broker-Dealer or Initial Purchaser, as the
case may be, on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations.

                  The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes, the Participating Broker-Dealer or the
Initial Purchasers, as the case may be, on the other hand shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company, or by the Holder of Transfer
Restricted Notes, the Participating Broker-Dealer or the Initial Purchasers, as
the case may be, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

                  The Company and the Holders of the Transfer Restricted Notes
and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other

<PAGE>

                                      -28-

method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this Section 4.

                  For purposes of this Section 4, each affiliate of any Person,
if any, who controls a Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes, an Initial Purchaser
or a Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as such other Person, and each director of the Company, each
affiliate of the Company, each executive officer of the Company who signed the
Registration Statement, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

                  5.  MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) RULE 144 AND RULE 144A. The Company shall provide to each
Holder such reports as are required under Section 4.07 of the Indenture and,
upon the request of any Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes (a) make publicly
available such information as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act, (b) deliver such information to a prospective
purchaser as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act and it will take such further action as any Holder of Transfer
Restricted Notes may reasonably request, and (c) take such further action, if
any, that is reasonable in the circumstances, in each case, to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell its Transfer Restricted
Notes without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may
be amended from time to time, (ii) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such
rule may be amended from time to time, or (iii) any similar rules or regulations
hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the reasonable request of any Holder of
Transfer Restricted Notes, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written
statement as to whether they have complied with such requirements.

                  (b) NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The rights granted to the
Holders hereunder do not, and will not for the term of this Agreement in any way
conflict with and are not, and will not during the term of this Agreement be
inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's other
issued and outstanding securities under any other agreements entered into by the
Company.

                  (c) AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement,
including provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given, otherwise than with the prior written consent of the Company
and the Majority Holders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no amendment, modification, or
supplement or waiver or consent to the departure with respect to the provisions
of Section 4 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Transfer
Restricted Notes or the Company unless consented to in writing by such Holder of
Transfer Restricted Notes or the Company, as the case may be.

                  (d) NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided for
or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered
first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight
delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to
the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 5(d), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial
Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and (ii) if to the
Company, initially at the Company's address set forth in the Purchase Agreement
and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 5(d).

                  All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have
been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five
Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed;
when answered back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and
on the next Business Day, if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing
overnight delivery.

                  Copies of all such notices, demands, or other communications
shall be concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at
the address specified in the Indenture.

                  (e) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of the
Initial Purchasers, including, without limitation and without the need for an
express assignment, subsequent Holders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing herein
shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of
Transfer Restricted Notes in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or
the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Transfer Restricted
Notes, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise,

<PAGE>

                                      -30-

such Transfer Restricted Notes shall be held subject to all of the terms of
this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Transfer Restricted Notes,
such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to
perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Person
shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.

                  (f) THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. Each of the Initial Purchasers
and each Holder shall be a third party beneficiary of the agreements made
hereunder between the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on
the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to
the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its
rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.

                  (g) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

                  (h) HEADINGS. The headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof.

                  (i) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING
EFFECT TO ANY PROVISIONS RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS. Specified times of
day refer to New York City time.

                  (j) SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one or more of the
provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

                  (k) NOTES HELD BY THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES.
Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of
Transfer Restricted Notes is required hereunder, Transfer Restricted Notes held
by the Company or any of their affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405
under the Securities Act) shall not be counted in determining whether such
consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

                           FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

                  1. Each of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the
Prospectus (other than the financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and
other financial and statistical information and supplemental schedules included
or referred to therein or omitted therefrom and the Form T-1, as to which such
counsel need express no opinion), complies as to form in all material respects
with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules
and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act.

                  2. In the course of such counsel's review and discussion of
the contents of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Prospectus
with certain officers and other representatives of the Company and
representatives of the independent certified public accountants of the Company,
but without independent check or verification or responsibility for the
accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained therein, on the
basis of the foregoing (relying as to materiality to a large extent upon
representations and opinions of officers and other representatives of the
Company), no facts have come to such counsel's attention which cause such
counsel to believe that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (other than
the financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and other financial and
statistical information contained or referred to therein and the Form T-1, as to
which such counsel need express no belief), at the time the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement became effective and at the time of the consummation of
the Exchange Offer, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements contained therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus (other than
the financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and other financial and
statistical information contained or referred to therein, as to which such
counsel need express no belief) contains any untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
