                  computer operator is onsite from 06:30 to 24:00 Monday through
                  Friday and 00:00 to 08:00 on Sundays. During off-hours, the

                  capabilities have been implemented in the data center that

                  Please note that the all major IT applications, including
                  Infinium, are not available to users on Sundays, from 00:00 to
                  12:00. System maintenance, modifications and upgrades are
                  performed during this weekly "change window".

         D.       NETWORK SERVICES

                  TWC will continue to provide both long distance voice
                  communications and Wide Area Network (WAN) data network
                  communications under the respective AT&T services contracts.

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  The AT&T long distance voice contract expires January 1, 2003.
                  The value of WCC participating under a common long distance
                  contract is simply an optimal cost per minute as part of a
                  larger volume-based service. WCC intends to continue to
                  participate in a shared long distance contract. TWC is
                  currently negotiating a two-year extension with AT&T given the
                  unsettled dynamics associated with the telecommunications
                  industry (there is a fear the cost per minute could rise due
                  to reduced competition). WCC will participate in discussions
                  with TWC prior to and during negotiations of this contract.
                  WCC reserves the right to opt out of participating in any
                  common long distance contract up until contract signing.
                  Nothing in this agreement prevents WCC from negotiating a
                  separate agreement with the same or different contractor.

                  The AT&T WAN contracts (one for the data services and one for
                  management services) expire November 2003. TWC will continue
                  to provide WCC data network services to HQ and Field employees
                  to provide access to Infinium, email, operational applications
                  and the Internet.

                  Technically, the network links at the correctional and
                  hospital facilities will be redirected to the new WCC
                  Headquarters facility. Optionally, two high-speed, diverse
                  network links will be provided between the WCC and TWC
                  locations for authorized access to Infinium depending on the
                  location of the AS-400 and the location of the Essbase server.

                  From a security perspective, TWC will place and manage a
                  firewall at the WCC location to ensure only authorized network
                  traffic is routed to the TWC Infinium environment.

                  WCC will directly pay for the network links between their HQ
                  facility and the TWC Headquarter facility. In addition, WCC
                  will contract with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to gain
                  direct access to the Internet from their new HQ facility.

         E.       END USER TRAINING

                  The TWC IT department will provide quarterly classroom-style
                  training sessions on all applicable Infinium modules for WCC
                  personnel. Typically, the training sessions are three days in
                  length. Assuming that the new WCC Headquarters facility has an
                  adequate training classroom, the session will be held at the
                  WCC location. If training facilities are not available,
                  training will be held at the TWC Headquarters location.

                  WCC is responsible for all travel, lodging, and meal costs for
                  WCC field personnel who attend the quarterly training
                  sessions.

                  TWC will provide Infinium technical training to WCC IT
                  personnel for support of the Infinium system.

         F.       DISASTER RECOVERY PLANNING (DRP)

                  TWC has a commercial contract with IBM for IT DRP services.
                  Specifically, TWC can restore all major business applications
                  at an IBM location in New Jersey in the event of a disaster.
                  In addition, the TWC IT department conducts a "dry-run" of the
                  DRP restoral process on an annual basis to best ensure the
                  staff is prepared to support TWC and WCC in the event of an
                  actual business disaster.

                  Please note two important elements of the DRP contract with
                  IBM:

                  o   There will be an incremental charge of $39,000 to WCC due
                      to the need for a second AS400. This charge will be in
                      addition to the $1.75mm annual service fee.

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  o   Systems based at the WCC correctional facilities (e.g.,
                      PDS, commissary system) are NOT covered under the TWC DRP
                      plan per previous direction from the WCC management team.
                      These systems could be covered under the DRP strategy if
                      desired at an incremental cost. Please note that a DRP
                      strategy for critical business systems will be a primary
                      element of any external audit of IT systems and processes.

                  o   If WCC elects to operate the server at its new
                      headquarters in Boca Raton Florida, it may elect to obtain
                      IT DRP services from an alternative provider.

         G.       TRANSITIONAL SERVICES AND ASSOCIATED COSTS

                  WCC will build and implement fully functional Human Resources,
                  Payroll, Accounts Payable and Tax capabilities by January 1,
                  2003. These functional areas will continue to use the infinium
                  application supported and maintained by TWC. To securely
                  support this functional separation, a dedicated AS400 is
                  required to run a copy of Infinium/CCM for WCC. The one-time
                  capital / operating expense associated with the AS400 is
                  estimated at $810,000. WCC will be the owner of the new AS 400
                  and all associated data and software except for Infinium/CCM.
                  WCC will determine the operating location of the AS-400 and
                  Essbase server. Ongoing operating expenses are estimated at
                  $64,000 (excludes depreciation, software maintenance and
                  hardware maintenance). These costs will be directly paid by
                  WCC and are not part of the $1.75mm annual service charge.

                  In the event that the AS400 is moved from TWC Headquarters to
                  any other location, WCC will provide and will be responsible
                  for operational support to TWC in the following areas: Backup
                  and recovery, offsite date storage, and other support as
                  necessary.

                  If WCC elects to select new service providers (e.g., banking
                  partner, medical insurer, 401K/retirement) and electronic
                  interfaces are required between Infinium and the third party
                  business partner, the development of the computer interfaces
                  will be charged to WCC on a time and materials basis. All work
                  will have proper authorization from the WCC management team
                  before any expense is incurred.

                  At some point, during the term of this agreement for IT
                  Services, WCC will begin the process of transitioning to its
                  own fully functional IT department. TWC will assist with this
                  process on a negotiated basis. Specifically, TWC may assist
                  with programming, data retrieval, etc.

         H.       OUT OF SCOPE SERVICES

               i.    Electronic Mail

                      common, Lotus Notes-based email solution for Security
                      Services, WCC and WRI, only Security Services fully
                      adopted this mail platform. There was a stated direction
                      for WCC to adopt Lotus Notes approximately six months ago,
                      but with the planned separation, WCC has elected to
                      implement their own email platform (Microsoft Exchange) no
                      later than January 1, 2003. The WCC technical support team
                      will implement and manage this email package.

               ii.   PC Service and Support

                      WCC will continue to provide help desk and technical
                      support for all PCs within their respective organization.
                      Whenever upgraded PC software is required to access
                      Infinium, TWC will provide a copy of the software via a CD
                      to the WCC staff for installation.

                                       7

               iii.  Local Area Network (LAN) Service and Support

                      WCC will continue to support all file and print services
                      as well as the physical infrastructure associated with
                      their LAN environments (e.g., wiring, Ethernet hubs).

               iv.   Corporate Headquarters Telephone System (PBX) Service and
                     Support

                      WCC will manage the PBX system in the new HQ facility.
                      This includes all moves, additions, and troubleshooting of
                      telephones and inside wiring.

               v.    REMOTE FACILITY APPLICATION SUPPORT

                      WCC will continue to have full responsibility and
                      accountability for all correctional and hospital-base
                      business applications. Key examples include PDS, their
                      inmate tracking system, and their commissary system.

               vi.   NEW PROJECTS PROCESS

                      If and when WCC elects engage the TWC IT staff for any new
                      project activity, a detailed proposal will be jointly
                      developed outlining overall project goals and objectives,
                      business benefits, project costs, and a project timeline
                      for management review. If approved by the WCC and TWC
                      management teams, the project will then be fully
                      initiated. Please note that the costs of any project are
                      not included in the $1.75mm service charge and will result
                      in an incremental charge to WCC.

                  THESE SERVICES WILL EXPIRE DECEMBER 31, 2004.

VI.      Audit Rights. WCC shall have the right to (or cause its accountants to)
         review the books and records of TWC at any time during reasonable
         business hours to (a) confirm that the services required to be provided

         discrepancy in the cost of any services in excess of 5%, in which case,
         the cost of such audit shall be borne by TWC.

VII.     No Agency. TWC shall perform its services under this Agreement as an
         independent contractor. Each party acknowledges and agrees that it is

         sufficient to meet manufacturing needs, or any other cause beyond the
         reasonable control of the party invoking this provision, and if such
         party shall have used its best efforts to avoid such occurrence and

         forth in this section, WCC may obtain replacement services from a third
         party for the duration of such delay or inability to perform, or for
         such longer period as WCC shall be reasonably required to commit to in
         order to obtain such replacement services and the Annual Services Fee
         shall be reduced accordingly up to a maximum of the annual service fee
         calculated on a pro rate basis for each day services are not provided.

Period") ending prior to the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to
calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for which financial
statements are available (the "Transaction Date") to Consolidated Fixed Charges
of such Person for the Four Quarter Period. In addition to and without
limitation of the foregoing, for purposes of this definition, "Consolidated
EBITDA" and "Consolidated Fixed Charges" shall be calculated after giving effect
on a pro forma basis for the period of such calculation to:

         such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or the issuance or
         redemption or other repayment of any Preferred Stock by such Person or
         any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (and, in each case, the application
         of the proceeds thereof) giving rise to the need to make such
         calculation and any incurrence or repayment of other Indebtedness, or
         any issuance or redemption or other repayment of any Preferred Stock
         (and, in each case, the application of the proceeds thereof), other

         subsequent to the last day of the Four Quarter Period and on or prior
         to the Transaction Date, as if such incurrence or repayment, as the
         case may be (and the application of the proceeds thereof), occurred on
         the first day of the Four Quarter Period; and

                  (2)      any asset sales or other dispositions or Asset
         Acquisitions (including, without limitation, any Asset Acquisition
         giving rise to the need to make such calculation as a result of such
         Person or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including any Person who
         becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the Asset Acquisition)
         incurring, assuming or otherwise being liable for Acquired Indebtedness

         disposition during the Four Quarter Period) occurring during the Four
         Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four
         Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such
         asset sale or other disposition or Asset Acquisition (including the
         incurrence, assumption or liability for any such Acquired Indebtedness)
         occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period.

                  If such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries directly
or indirectly guarantees Indebtedness of a third Person, the preceding sentence
shall give effect to the incurrence of such guaranteed Indebtedness as if such
Person or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Person had directly incurred or
otherwise assumed such guaranteed Indebtedness.

         fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will continue to
         be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed
         rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness in
         effect on the Transaction Date; and

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

                  (2)      notwithstanding clause (1) above, interest on
         Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such
         interest is covered by agreements relating to Interest Swap
         Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting
         after giving effect to the operation of such agreements.

         payments on any series of Preferred Stock of such Person or any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries (other than dividends paid in Qualified Capital
         Stock) paid in cash during such period to any Person other than such
         Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries times (y) a fraction, the
         numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is one minus the
         then current effective consolidated federal, state and local income tax
         rate of such Person, expressed as a decimal.

                  "Consolidated Interest Expense" means, with respect to any

respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

<PAGE>

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

                  Notes offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be
issued initially in the form of a single permanent global Note in registered
form, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the "Rule 144A Global
Note"), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, duly
executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided
and shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.6(h) hereof. The aggregate
principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note may from time to time be increased
or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for
the Depositary or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.

                  Notes offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on
Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of a single temporary global
Note in registered form, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the
"Temporary Regulation S Global Note"), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian
for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the
Trustee as hereinafter provided and shall bear the legend set forth in Section
2.6(h) hereof. At any time following 40 days after the later of the commencement
of the offering of the Notes and the Issue Date, upon receipt by the Trustee and
the Company of a duly executed certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
D(1) hereto, a single permanent Global Note in registered form substantially in
the form of Exhibit A hereto (the "Permanent Regulation S Global Note," and
together with the Temporary Regulation S Global Note, the "Regulation S Global
Note") duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as
hereinafter provided shall be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the
Depositary, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date
and a decrease in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note in an
amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Global Note transferred.

                  Notes offered and sold to institutional accredited investors
(as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act)
("Institutional Accredited Investors") shall be issued in the form of permanent
U.S. Certificated Notes in registered form in substantially the form set forth
in Exhibit A (the "U.S. Certificated Notes"). Securities issued pursuant to
Section 2.6 hereof in exchange for interests in the Rule 144A Global Note or the
Regulation S Global Note shall be in the form of permanent Certificated Notes in
registered form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the "Offshore
Certificated Notes").

                  The Offshore Certificated Notes and U.S. Certificated Notes
are sometimes collectively herein referred to as the "Certificated Notes." The
Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note are sometimes referred to
herein as the "Global Notes."

Section 2.2.               Execution and Authentication.

                  Two Officers of the Company shall sign the Notes for the
Company by manual or facsimile signature.

                                      -30-

<PAGE>

                  If an Officer whose signature is on a Note was an Officer at
the time of such execution but no longer holds that office or position at the
time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. Each
Guarantor, if any, shall execute a Guarantee in the manner set forth in Section
11.7.

                  A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the
Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

                  The Trustee, upon a written order of the Company signed by two
Officers of the Company, together with the other documents required by Sections
13.4 and 13.5 hereof, shall authenticate (i) Series A Notes for original issue
on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $300.0 million
and (ii) subject to Section 4.9, Additional Notes. The Trustee, upon written
order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company, together with the
other documents required by Sections 13.4 and 13.5 hereof, shall authenticate
Series B Notes; provided that such Series B Notes shall be issuable only upon
the valid surrender for cancellation of Series A Notes of a like aggregate
principal amount in accordance with the Exchange Offer or an exchange offer
specified in any registration rights agreement relating to the Additional Notes.
Such written order of the Company shall specify the amount of Notes to be
authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be
authenticated. Any Additional Notes shall be part of the same issue as the Notes
being issued on the Issue Date and will vote on all matters as one class with
the Notes being issued on the Issue Date, including, without limitation,
waivers, amendments, redemptions, Change of Control Offers and Net Proceeds
Offers. For the purposes of this Indenture, except for Section 4.9, references
to the Notes include Additional Notes, if any.

                  The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to
the Company to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment,
an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.
Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes
authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an
Agent to deal with the Company or with any Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.3.               Registrar and Paying Agent.

                  The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may
be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange
("Registrar") and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment
("Paying Agent"). The Notes may be presented for registration of transfer and
exchange at the offices of the Registrar. The Company will pay principal (and
premium, if any) on the Notes at the Trustee's corporate office in New York, New
York. At the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest
may be paid at the Trustee's corporate office or by check mailed to the Holders
at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, provided that payment
by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to
principal, Redemption Price and Purchase Price of, and interest and Additional
Interest (if any) on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which
shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or the Paying
Agent. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more
additional paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the
term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change
any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Paying Agent not a
party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another
entity as Registrar or

                                      -31-

<PAGE>

Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its
Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Depositary shall, by
acceptance of a Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in
such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by
the Depositary (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in
the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

                  The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the
Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Note Custodian with respect to the
Global Notes, until such time as the Trustee has resigned or a successor has
been appointed.

Section 2.4.               Paying Agents to Hold Money in Trust.

                  The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the
Trustee to agree in writing that such the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for
the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the
payment of principal and of any premium, if any, interest and Additional
Interest, if any, on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by
the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the
Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.
The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it
to the Trustee and account for any money disbursed. Upon payment over to the
Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no further
liability for the money. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate
and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held
by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings
relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.5.               Holder Lists.

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

Section 2.6.               Transfer and Exchange.

                  (a)      Transfer and Exchange Generally; Book-Entry
Provisions. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the
Registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in
this Section 2.6, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this
Indenture.

                  Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the
Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company
pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for

                                      -32-

<PAGE>

exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive
bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

                  All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Registrar, and the Notes shall be duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing. Except as otherwise provided in this
Indenture, and in addition to the requirements set forth in the legend referred
to in Section 2.6(h)(i) hereof, in connection with any transfer of Transfer
Restricted Securities any request for transfer shall be accompanied by a
certification to the Trustee relating to the manner of such transfer
substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto.

                  (b)      Book-Entry Provisions for the Global Notes. The Rule
144A Global Note and Regulation S Global Note initially shall (i) be registered
in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be
delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary and (iii) bear legends
as set forth in Section 2.6(h) hereof.

                  Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent
Members") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Rule
144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, held on their
behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Rule
144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, 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 Rule 144A Global Note or
Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, 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
Note.

                  Transfers of the Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S
Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Rule 144A Global Note or
Regulation S Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its
successors or their respective nominees. Beneficial interests in the Rule 144A
Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note may be transferred in accordance
with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of
this Section 2.6. The registration of transfer and exchange of beneficial
interests in the Global Note, which does not involve the issuance of a
Certificated Note, shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with
this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the
procedures of the Depositary therefor. The Trustee shall have no responsibility
or liability for any act or omission of the Depositary.

                  At any time at the request of the beneficial holder of an
interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note to
obtain a Certificated Note, such beneficial holder shall be entitled to obtain a
Certificated Note upon written request to the Trustee and the Note Custodian in
accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the
Note Custodian and Depositary for the issuance thereof. Upon receipt of any such
request, the Trustee, or the Note Custodian at the direction of the Trustee,
will cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing
between the Depositary and the Note Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of
the Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as appropriate,
to be reduced by

                                      -33-

<PAGE>

the principal amount of the Certificated Note issued upon such request to such
beneficial holder and, following such reduction, the Company will execute and
the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to such beneficial holder (or its
nominee) a Certificated Note or Certificated Notes in the appropriate aggregate
principal amount in the name of such beneficial holder (or its nominee) and
bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

                  (c)      Transfers to Non-QIB Institutional Accredited
Investors. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration
of any proposed transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security to any Institutional
Accredited Investor that is not a QIB (other than any Person that is not a U.S.
Person as defined under Regulation S, a "Foreign Person"):

                  (i)      the Registrar shall register the transfer of any
         Note, whether or not such Note bears the Private Placement Legend, if
         (x) (A) the requested transfer is at least two years after the later of
         the Issue Date of the Notes and (B) the proposed transferee has
         certified to the Registrar that the requested transfer is at least two
         years after last date on which such Note was held by an Affiliate of
         the Company, or (y) the proposed transferee has delivered to the
         Registrar (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E
         hereto and (B) such certifications, legal opinions and other
         information as the Trustee and the Company may reasonably request to
         confirm that such transaction is in compliance with the Securities Act;
         and

                  (ii)     if the proposed transferor is an Agent Member holding
         a beneficial interest in the Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar
         of (x) the documents, if any, required by clause (i) and (y)
         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 a decrease in the principal amount of the Global
         Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
         interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall
         execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more
         Certificated Notes of like tenor and amount.

                  (d)      Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall
apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Transfer
Restricted Security to a QIB (other than Foreign Persons):

                  (i)      if the Note to be transferred consists of

         certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D(2) 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 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

                  (ii)     if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and
         the Note to be transferred consists of Certificated Notes or an

         increase in the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note in an
         amount equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Notes or the
         interest in the Regula-

         above and instructions given in accordance with the Depositary's and
         the Registrar's procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books

instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall
deliver such Certificated Notes in Certificated form to the persons in whose
names such Notes in Certificated form are so registered.

                  Certificated Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial
owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Note
or the Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, if at any time:

         that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
         for the Rule 144A Global Note or the Permanent Regulation S Global
         Note, as the case may be, and a successor Depositary is not appointed
         by the Company within 90 days after delivery of such notice; or

                  (ii)     the Company, at its sole discretion, notifies the
         Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Certificated
         Notes under this Indenture,

and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an
authentication order in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, authenticate and
deliver Certificated Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note or the Permanent Regulation S
Global Note, as the case may be, in exchange for such Global Notes.

                  (a)      in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security that

                  INTEREST HEREIN.

                  (v)      Any Global Note may be endorsed with or have
         incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes
         not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture as may be
         required by the Note Custodian, the Depositary or by the National
         Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. in order for the Notes to be
         tradable on the PORTAL Market or tradable on Euroclear or Clearstream
         or as may be required for the Notes to be tradable on any other market
         developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation
         S under the Securities Act or required to comply with any applicable

         which any particular Notes are subject.

                  (i)      Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At
such time as all beneficial interests in Global Notes have been exchanged for
Certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, all Global Notes shall be
returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section
2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest
in a Global Note is exchanged for Certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or
canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Notes shall
be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by
the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect
such reduction. In the event of any transfer of any beneficial interest between
the Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note in accordance with
the standing procedures and instructions between the Depositary and the Note
Custodian and the transfer restrictions set forth herein, the aggregate
principal amount of each of the Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S
Global Note shall be appropriately increased or decreased, as the case may be,
and an endorsement shall be made on each of the Rule 144A Global Note and the
Regulation S Global Note by the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction
of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

         the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
         Certificated Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar's request.

<PAGE>

                  (ii)     No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any
         registration of transfer, fee or exchange, but the Company may require
         payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar
         governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any
         such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon
         exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 3.6 and 9.5 hereof).

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

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

                  (v)      The Company shall not be required:

                  (a)      to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange
         Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
         before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section
         3.2 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;
         or

                  (b)      to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note
         so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
         portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

                  (c)      to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note
         between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

                  (vi)     Prior to due presentment of the registration of a
         transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem
         and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the
         absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of all payments with
         respect to such Notes, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor the
         Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  (vii)    The Trustee shall authenticate Certificated Notes and
         Global Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof.

Section 2.7.               Replacement Notes.

                  If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or either
the Company or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee,
upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof,
shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee's requirements for
replacement of Notes are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an
indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment
of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent
and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note
is replaced. The Trustee and the Company each may charge such Holder for their
expenses in replacing such Note.

                                      -40-

<PAGE>

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

Section 2.8.               Outstanding Notes.

                  The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have
been authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those
delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global
Note effected by the Trustee or the Note Custodian in accordance with the
provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding.
Except as set forth in Section 2.9 hereof, a Note does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or any of its Affiliates holds the Note.

                  If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, it shall
cease to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser for value.

                  If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under
Section 4.1 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to
accrue.

                  If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or
an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money
sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such
Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue
interest.

Section 2.9.               Treasury Notes.

                  In determining whether the Holders of the required principal
amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned
by the Company, the Guarantors or by any Affiliate thereof shall be considered
as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver of
consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned
shall be so disregarded. The Company agrees to notify the Trustee of the
existence of any such treasury Notes or Notes owned by the Company, any
Guarantor or an Affiliate thereof.

Section 2.10.              Temporary Notes.

                  Until Certificated Notes are ready for delivery, the Company
may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an authentication order in
accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, shall authenticate temporary Notes.
Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Certificated Notes, but
may have such variations as the Company considers appropriate for temporary
Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable
delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Certificated
Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

                  Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the
benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11.              Cancellation.

                  The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or Paying Agent, and
no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of all canceled
Notes in accordance with the Trustee's usual procedures. The Trustee shall
maintain a record of all canceled Notes. All canceled Notes shall be delivered
to the Company if the Company so requests in writing. Subject to Section 2.7
hereof, the Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that have been paid
or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12.              Defaulted Interest.

                  If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes,
the Company shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the
extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who
are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof. The Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on
each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause
to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no
such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment
date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record
date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in
the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to
Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date
and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13.              Persons Deemed Owners.

                  Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of
transfer and subject to Section 2.12 hereof, the Company, the Trustee, any
Paying Agent, any co-registrar and any Registrar may deem and treat the person
in whose name any Note shall be registered upon the register of Notes kept by
the Registrar as the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall
be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of the ownership or other writing
thereon made by anyone other than the Company, any co-registrar or any
Registrar) for the purpose of receiving all payments with respect to such Note
and for all other purposes, and none of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying
Agent, any co-registrar or any Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

Section 2.14.              CUSIP Numbers.

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

                            REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE

Section 3.1.               Notices to Trustee.

                  If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the
provisions of Section 3.7 or 3.8 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (unless a
shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), an Officers'
Certificate setting forth the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the
redemption shall occur, the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be
redeemed and the Redemption Price.

                  If the Company is required to offer to repurchase Notes
pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.10, 4.15 or 4.19 hereof, it shall notify
the Trustee in writing, at least 30 days but not more than 45 days before the
Purchase Date, of the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the repurchase
shall occur, the Purchase Date, the principal amount of Notes required to be
repurchased and the Purchase Price and shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate to the effect that (a) the Company is required to make or has made a
Net Proceeds Offer or a Change of Control Offer or a Loss Proceeds Offer, as the
case may be, and (b) the conditions set forth in Section 4.10, 4.15 or 4.19
hereof, as the case may be, have been satisfied.

                  If the Registrar is not the Trustee, the Company shall,
concurrently with each notice of redemption or repurchase, cause the Registrar
to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (upon which the Trustee may rely)
setting forth the principal amounts of Notes held by each Holder.

Section 3.2.               Selection of Notes.

                  Except as set forth below, if less than all of the Notes are
to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof to be
redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the principal national
securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, on a pro rata
basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.
In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes or portions
thereof to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee
from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

                  If less than all of the Notes tendered are to be repurchased
pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.10 or 4.19 hereof, the Trustee shall
select the Notes or portions thereof to be repurchased in compliance with
Section 4.10 or 4.19. In the event of partial repurchase by lot, the particular
Notes or portions thereof to be repurchased shall be selected at the close of
business of the last Business Day prior to the Purchase Date. If less than all
of the Notes tendered are to be repurchased pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.8 hereof, the Trustee shall select the Notes only on a pro rata basis
or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures).

                  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of
the Notes or portions thereof selected for redemption or repurchase. Notes and
portions thereof selected shall be in amounts

                                      -43-

<PAGE>

of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a
Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such
Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. No Notes of a
principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

Section 3.3.               Notice of Optional or Special Redemption.

                  In the event Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.7
or 3.8 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption
Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes
are to be redeemed in whole or in part, with a copy to the Trustee.

                  The notice shall identify the Notes or portions thereof to be
redeemed (including the CUSIP number, if any) and shall state:

                  (a)      the Redemption Date;

                  (b)      the Redemption Price;

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

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

                  (e)      that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered
         to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price, Additional
         Interest, if any, and, unless the Redemption Date is after a record
         date and or before the succeeding interest payment date, accrued
         interest thereon to the Redemption Date;

                  (f)      that, unless the Company defaults in making the
         redemption payment, interest and any Additional Interest on Notes
         called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption
         Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to
         receive payment of the Redemption Price, any Additional Interest and,
         unless the Redemption Date is after a record date and on or before the
         succeeding interest payment date, accrued interest thereon to the
         Redemption Date upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes
         redeemed;

                  (g)      if fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the
         identification of the particular Notes (or portions thereof) to be
         redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be
         redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding
         after such partial redemption;

                  (h)      the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the
         Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

                  (i)      that no representation is made as to the correctness
         or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or
         printed on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other
         identification numbers printed on the Notes.

                                      -44-

<PAGE>

                  At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; provided that the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 40 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 notice as provided in the preceding
paragraph.

Section 3.4.               Effect of Notice of Redemption.

                  Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the
Redemption Price. Upon surrender to any Paying Agent, such Notes or portions
thereof shall be paid at the Redemption Price, plus Additional Interest, if any,
and accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that
installments of interest which are due and payable on or prior to the Redemption
Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, registered as such, at the
close of business on the relevant record date for the payment of such
installment of interest.

Section 3.5.               Deposit of Redemption Price.

                  On or before 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on each Redemption Date,
the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent
money sufficient to pay the aggregate amount due on all Notes to be redeemed on
that date, including without limitation any accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, to the Redemption Date. Upon written request by the
Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company
any money not required for that purpose.

                  Unless the Company defaults in making such payment, interest
and any Additional Interest on the Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on
the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Notes are presented for
payment. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph,
interest will be paid on the unpaid principal, from the applicable Redemption
Date until such principal is paid, and on any interest not paid on such unpaid
principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1
hereof.

Section 3.6.               Notes Redeemed in Part.

                  Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of
the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to portion of the Note
surrendered that is not to be redeemed.

Section 3.7.               Optional Redemption.

                  The Company may redeem any or all of the Notes at any time on
or after February 15, 2008 at the Redemption Prices set forth in the Notes (an
"Optional Redemption"). Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be
made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof.

Section 3.8.               Special Redemption.

                  In the event the Company completes one or more Public Equity
Offerings on or before February 15, 2006, the Company, at its option, may use
the net cash proceeds from any such Public Equity Offering to redeem up to 35%
of the original principal amount of the Notes (a "Special Redemption") at a
Redemption Price of 111% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued
and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of redemption,
provided, however, that at least 65% of the original principal amount of the
Notes will remain outstanding immediately after each such Special Redemption;
and provided, further, that such Special Redemption shall occur within 90 days
after the date of the closing of the applicable Public Equity Offering. Any
redemption pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall be made pursuant to the provisions
of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof.

Section 3.9.               Repurchase upon Change of Control Offer.

                  In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof, the
Company shall be required to commence a Change of Control Offer, it shall follow
the procedures specified below.

                  The Change of Control Offer shall remain open for a period
from the date of the mailing of the notice of the Change of Control Offer
described in the next paragraph until a date determined by the Company which is
at least 30 but no more than 45 days from the date of mailing of such notice and
no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable
law (the "Change of Control Offer Period"). On the Purchase Date, which shall be
no later than the last day of the Change of Control Offer Period, the Company
shall purchase the principal amount of Notes properly tendered in response to
the Change of Control Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in
the same manner as interest payments are made.

                  Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company
shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the
Holders. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to
enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. The
Change of Control Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall
govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer, shall state:

                  (a)      the transaction or transactions that constitute the
         Change of Control, providing information, to the extent publicly
         available, regarding the Person or Persons acquiring control, and

         Section 3.9 and Section 4.15 hereof and that, to the extent lawful, all
         Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

                  (b)      the Purchase Price, the last day of the Change of
         Control Offer Period, and the Purchase Date;

         the amount due on the Purchase Date, all Notes or portions thereof
         accepted for repurchase pursuant to the Change of

                                      -46-

         reverse of the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer to
         the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying
         Agent at the address specified in the notice not later than the third
         Business Day preceding the Purchase Date;

                  (f)      that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their
         election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the
         case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Change of
         Control Offer Period, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter
         setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes
         delivered for repurchase, and a statement that such Holder is
         withdrawing his election to have the Notes redeemed in whole or in
         part; and

                  (g)      that Holders whose Notes are being repurchased only
         in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the
         portion of the Notes tendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer)
         that is not to be repurchased, which portion must be equal to $1,000 in
         principal amount or an integral multiple thereof.

                  On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall to the
extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly
tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying

of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.

                  If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date
and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid

Section 4.3.               Reports.

                  Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the
Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish the
Holders of Notes:

         (i)      all quarterly and annual financial information that would be
         required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q

         financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted
         Subsidiaries of the Company, if any) and, with respect to the annual
         information only, a report thereon by the Company's certified
         independent accountants; and

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

         Commission's rules and regulations.

                  In addition, following the consummation of the Exchange Offer,
whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, the
Company will file a copy of all such information and reports with the Commission
for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission's
rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and
make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors
upon request. In addition, the Company has agreed that, for so long as any Notes
remain outstanding, it will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts
and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be
delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 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 4.4.               Compliance Certificate.

                  The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers' Certificate stating that a
review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the
preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing
Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has performed its
obligations under this Indenture in all material respects, and further stating,
as to the Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her
knowledge the Company has complied with and performed its obligations under the
provisions contained in this Indenture in all material respects and is not in
Default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions of this Indenture (and, if a Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default) of which he or she
may have knowledge, and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has
occurred and remains in existence by reason of which, payments on account of the
principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event
has occurred, a description of the event.

                  So long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof shall be accompanied by a
written statement of the Company's independent public accountants (who shall be
a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination
necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to
their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has violated
any provisions of Article IV or Article V hereof or, if any such violation has
occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being
understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to
any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

Default an Officers' Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default.

Section 4.5.               Taxes.

                  The Company shall pay or discharge, and shall cause each of
its Subsidiaries to pay or discharge, prior to delinquency, all material taxes,
assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith
and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is
not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.6.               Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

                  The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or
usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and covenants it shall not, by resort to any such
law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
such law has not been enacted.

Section 4.7.               Limitation on Restricted Payments.

         however, that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or

         the Company in any material respect as determined by the Board of
         Directors of the Company in their reasonable and good faith judgment
         than the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction
         contained in agreements referred to in such clauses (b) through (f).

                  Nothing contained in this Section 4.8 shall prevent the

issuance of such Preferred Stock, after giving effect to the incurrence or
issuance thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company is
greater than 2.25 to 1.0.

                  (b)      Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall incur,
directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness which is or purports to be by its terms
(or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to
any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be,
unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement
governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes or the
Guarantee of such Guarantor, to the same extent and in the same manner as such
Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness.

                  (c)      In addition to the limitation imposed by paragraph
(a) of this Section 4.9, any issuance of Notes in excess of $300.0 million shall

of such issuance shall be applied to either (i) finance Improvements to the
Collateral or (ii) refinance Indebtedness incurred by the Company to finance
Improvements to the Collateral, (b) the Mortgages shall be amended prior to or
contemporaneously with such additional issuance to increase the maximum amount
secured by the Mortgages by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
the additional issuance of Notes less the aggregate principal amount of Notes
theretofore redeemed, discharged, defeased or repurchased and (c) the Company
shall, at its sole cost and expense, have performed all acts and executed any
and all documents (including, without limitation, the authorization of any
financing statement and continuation statement) for filing under the provisions
of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other statute, rule or regulation of
any applicable federal, state or local jurisdiction, including any filings in
local real estate land record offices, which are necessary or reasonably
requested by the Trustee in order to grant and confirm the validity, perfection
and first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) of the Liens in favor of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Holders on such additional Collateral.

Section 4.10.              Limitation on Asset Sales.

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

                  (1)      the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary,
         as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset
         Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or
         otherwise disposed of (as determined in good faith by the Company's
         Board of Directors);

                  (2)      at least 75% (or 100% in the case of an Asset Sale of
         Collateral) of the consideration received by the Company or the
         Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale shall
         be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents and is received at the time
         of such disposition (provided that (A) the amount of any liabilities of
         the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities
         that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee
         thereof) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and (B)
         any securities or other obligations received by the Company or any such
         Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for any such assets (other than
         assets which constitute Collateral) that are converted into cash within
         180 days after the consummation of such Asset Sale (to the extent of
         the cash received) shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this
         provision); and

                                      -57-

<PAGE>

                  (3)      upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company
         shall apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash
         Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 360 days of receipt thereof
         either:

                           (A)      to the extent such Asset Sale involves
                  assets that do not constitute Collateral, to (i) prepay any
                  Secured Indebtedness and, in the case of any Secured
                  Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility, effect a
                  permanent reduction in the availability under such revolving
                  credit facility and/or (ii) make a Permitted Investment;

                           (B)      to make an investment in properties and
                  assets that replace the properties and assets that were the
                  subject of such Asset Sale or in properties and assets
                  (including Capital Stock) that will be used in the business of
                  the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as existing on the
                  Issue Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto
                  ("Replacement Assets"); provided that any Replacement Assets
                  acquired with any Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale of
                  Collateral (which shall consist of Real Property, equipment or
                  other fixed assets) shall be owned by the Company or a
                  Guarantor and shall not be subject to any Liens other than
                  Permitted Liens and the Company or such Guarantor, as the case
                  may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee such Security
                  Documents or other instruments as shall be reasonably
                  necessary to cause such Replacement Assets to become subject
                  to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents; and/or

                           (C)      a combination of prepayment and investment
                  permitted by the foregoing clauses (3)(A) and (3)(B).

                  (b)      On the 361st day after an Asset Sale (a "Net Proceeds
Offer Trigger Date"), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not
been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in
clauses (3)(A), (3)(B) and (3)(C) of paragraph (a) (each a "Net Proceeds Offer
Amount") shall be applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make
an offer to purchase (a "Net Proceeds Offer") on a date (a "Net Proceeds Offer
Payment Date") not less than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable
Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis, that
amount of Notes equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at an offer price in cash
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the
right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant
interest payment date in accordance with the procedures set forth herein);
provided, however, that if at any time any non-cash consideration received by
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, in
connection with any Asset Sale which does not involve Collateral is converted
into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received
with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or
disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net
Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.10.
Pending application of the Net Cash Proceeds, the Net Cash Proceeds from Asset
Sales of Collateral shall be deposited in the Collateral Account. To the extent
that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is
less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may apply any remaining Net
Cash Proceeds to any purpose consistent with this Indenture and, following the
consummation of each Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be
reset to zero.

                                      -58-

<PAGE>

                  (c)      The Company may defer the Net Proceeds Offer until
there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to or in excess
of $10 million resulting from one or more Asset Sales (at which time, the entire
unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $10
million, shall be applied as required pursuant to the preceding paragraph).

                  (d)      Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
Section 4.10, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to
consummate an Asset Sale without complying with such paragraphs to the extent
that:

                  (1)      the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes
         Replacement Assets; and

                  (2)      such Asset Sale is for fair market value; provided
         that to the extent such Asset Sale consists of Collateral, the
         Replacement Assets shall be owned by the Company or a Guarantor and
         shall not be subject to any Liens other than Permitted Liens and the
         Company or such Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Trustee such
         Security Documents or other instruments as shall be reasonably
         necessary to cause such property or assets to become subject to the
         Lien of the applicable Security Documents.

                  (e)      The Company will 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 Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent
that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue thereof.

Section 4.11.              Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.

                  (a)      The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to
exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without
limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the
rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates
(each an "Affiliate Transaction"), other than (x) Affiliate Transactions
permitted under paragraph (b) below and (y) Affiliate Transactions on terms that
are no less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a
comparable transaction at such time on an arm's-length basis from a Person that
is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary.

                  All Affiliate Transactions (and each series of related
Affiliate Transactions which are similar or part of a common plan) involving
aggregate payments or other property with a fair market value in excess of $5.0
million shall be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, such approval to be evidenced by a
Board Resolution stating that such Board of Directors has determined that such
transaction complies with the foregoing provisions. If the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company enters into an Affiliate Transaction (or a
series of related Affiliate Transactions related to a common plan) that involves
an aggregate fair market value of more than $15.0 million, the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, prior to the consummation
thereof, obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such transaction or
series of related transactions to the Company or the relevant Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case

                                      -59-

<PAGE>

may be, from a financial point of view, from an Independent Financial Advisor
and file the same with the Trustee.

                  (b)      The restrictions set forth in paragraph (a) of this
Section 4.11 shall not apply to:

                  (1)      fees and compensation paid to and indemnity provided
         on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the
         Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as determined in
         good faith by the Company's Board of Directors or senior management;

                  (2)      transactions exclusively between or among the Company
         and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among
         such Restricted Subsidiaries;

                  (3)      any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or
         any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby
         (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) or any replacement
         agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement
         agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material
         respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;

                  (4)      Restricted Payments permitted by this Indenture;

                  (5)      loans or advances in the ordinary course of business
         to officers, directors or employees of the Company or any Restricted
         Subsidiary including advances for travel and moving expenses;

                  (6)      any employment, severance or termination agreement
         entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in
         the ordinary course of business;

                  (7)      transactions with customers, suppliers or purchasers
         or sellers of goods or services which are fair to the Company and its
         Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of
         Directors of the Company;

                  (8)      issuance of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company
         and the granting of registration rights with respect to that Qualified
         Capital Stock; and

                  (9)      payments or other transactions pursuant to any tax
         sharing arrangement between the Company and any other Person with which
         the Company files a consolidated tax return or with which the Company
         is part of a consolidated group for tax purposes but only to the extent
         that amounts payable from time to time by the Company under any such
         agreement do not exceed the corresponding tax payments that the Company
         would have been required to make to any relevant taxing authority had
         the Company not joined in such consolidated or combined return, but
         instead had filed returns including only the Company.

Section 4.12.              Limitation on Liens.

                  The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or
permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind against

                                      -60-

<PAGE>

or upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date,
or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive
income or profits therefrom (other than a preferred return granted to a joint
venture partner in a joint venture), in each case other than Permitted Liens,
except that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Liens on
property or assets that are not Collateral if (i) in the case of any such Liens
securing Indebtedness that is expressly subordinate or junior in right of
payment to the Notes, the Notes are secured by a Lien on such property or assets
that is senior in priority to such Liens and (ii) in the case of all other such
Liens, the Notes are equally and ratably secured. In the event that the Lien the
existence of which gives rise to a Lien securing the Notes or a Guarantee
pursuant to the foregoing exception ceases to exist, the Lien securing the Notes
or a Guarantee required by the foregoing exception shall automatically be
released and the Trustee shall execute appropriate documentation as requested by
the Company.

Section 4.13.              Continued Existence.

                  Subject to Article V hereof, the Company shall do or cause to
be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i)
its corporate or other existence and the corporate or other existence of each
Guarantor in accordance with the organizational documents (as the same may be
amended from time to time) of the Company or such Guarantor and (ii) the
material rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company
or such Guarantor, except to the extent that the applicable Board of Directors
determines in good faith that the preservation of such right, license or
franchise is no longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of the business of
the Company and the Guarantors taken as a whole.

Section 4.14.              Insurance Matters.

                  The Company shall provide or cause to be provided, for itself
and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate
self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds that, in the reasonable,
good faith opinion of the Company, are adequate and appropriate for the conduct
of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in a prudent
manner, with reputable insurers or with the government of the United States of
America or an agency or instrumentality thereof, in such amounts, with such
deductibles, and by such methods as shall be customary, in the reasonable, good
faith opinion of the Company, for corporations similarly situated in the
industry, unless the failure to provide such insurance (together with all other
such failures) would not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.15.              Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control.

                  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of
Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part
(equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes (a
"Change of Control Offer") at a Purchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest
and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the Purchase Date. The Change of
Control Offer shall be made in compliance with the applicable procedures set
forth in Article III hereof and shall include all instructions and materials
necessary to enable Holders to tender their Notes.

                                      -61-

<PAGE>

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

                  The Company will 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 Notes 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 Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue thereof.

Section 4.16.              Additional Subsidiary Guarantees.

                  If the Company acquires or creates a Restricted Subsidiary
that is not a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary, such Restricted Subsidiary shall
execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall
unconditionally guarantee all of the Company's obligations under the Notes and
this Indenture on the terms set forth in this Indenture. Thereafter, such
Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture.

Section 4.17.              Conduct of Business.

                  The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not engage in
any businesses which are not the same, similar, ancillary or reasonably related
to the businesses in which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are
engaged on the Issue Date.

Section 4.18.              Payments for Consent.

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

Section 4.19.              Events of Loss.

                  (a) In the event of an Event of Loss with respect to any
         Collateral, the Company or the affected Restricted Subsidiary, as the
         case may be, shall apply the Net Loss Proceeds with respect to such
         Collateral from such Event of Loss within 360 days after receipt, at
         its option:

         (1)               to the rebuilding, repair, replacement or
         construction of improvements to the affected property (the "Subject
         Property"), all of which shall constitute Collateral;

                                      -62-

<PAGE>

         (2)               to make capital expenditures with respect to
         Collateral or to acquire properties or assets that will constitute
         Collateral and be used or useful in the Permitted Business of the
         Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that any
         Collateral acquired with any Net Loss Proceeds shall be owned by the
         Company or a Guarantor and shall not be subject to any Liens other than
         Permitted Liens and the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be,
         shall execute and deliver to the Trustee such Collateral Documents or
         other instruments as shall be reasonably necessary to cause such
         property or assets to become subject to the Lien of the applicable
         Collateral Documents; and/or

         (3)               a combination of the applications permitted by the
         foregoing clauses (a)(1) and (a)(2).

provided that if during such 360-day period the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary enters into a definitive agreement committing it to apply such Net
Loss Proceeds in accordance with the requirements of clause (1) or (2) or if the
application of such Net Loss Proceeds is part of a project authorized by the
Board of Directors in good faith that will take longer than 360 days to
complete, and such project has begun, such 360-day period will be extended with
respect to the amount of Net Loss Proceeds so committed until required to be
paid in accordance with such agreement (or, if earlier, until termination of
such agreement) or until completion of such project, as the case may be. Pending
application of any Net Loss Proceeds, the Net Loss Proceeds from Events of Loss
with respect to Collateral shall be deposited in the Collateral Account.

                  (b) Any such Net Loss Proceeds from an Event of Loss that are
not applied or invested as provided in the first sentence of the preceding
paragraph prior to the 361st day after the Event of Loss (the "Loss Proceeds
Offer Trigger Date") will be deemed to constitute "Excess Loss Proceeds." When
the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, the Company
will make an offer to purchase (a "Loss Proceeds Offer") on a date (the "Loss
Proceeds Offer Payment Date") not less than 30 nor more than 45 days following
the applicable Loss Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata
basis, that amount of Notes equal to the amount of such Excess Loss Proceeds
(the "Loss Proceeds Offer Amount") at an offer price in cash in an amount equal
to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right
of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant
interest payment date in accordance with the procedures set forth herein).

                  (c) If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by
Holders exceeds the Excess Loss Proceeds to be used to purchase Notes, the
Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Pending
application of the Net Loss Proceeds, the Net Loss Proceeds from Events of Loss
with respect to any Collateral shall be deposited in the Collateral Account. To
the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to a Loss
Proceeds Offer is less than the Loss Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may
apply any remaining Net Loss Proceeds to any purpose consistent with this
Indenture and, following the consummation of each Loss Proceeds Offer, the Loss
Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the foregoing, the Company may commence a Loss Proceeds Offer prior
to the expiration of 360 days after the occurrence of an Event of Loss.

                  (d) The Company will 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 or regulations are applicable in connection
with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to a Loss Proceeds Offer. To the
extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under this Section 4.19 by virtue thereof.

                  (2)      such entity assumes by supplemental indenture all of
         the obligations of the Guarantor on the Guarantee, and shall cause such
         amendments, supplements or other instruments to be filed and recorded
         in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve
         and protect the Lien on the Collateral owned by or transferred to the
         Surviving Entity, together with such financing statements as may be
         required to perfect any security interests in such Collateral which may

         Commercial Code of the relevant states;

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.1.               Events of Default.

                  Each of the following constitutes an "Event of Default":

                  (a)      the failure to pay interest on any Note when the same
         becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30
         days;

                  (b)      the failure to pay the principal of any Notes, when
         such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or
         otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes
         tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds
         Offer);

                  (c)      a default in the observance or performance of any
         other covenant or agreement contained herein or in the Security
         Documents which default continues for a period of 45 days after the
         Company receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding
         that such default be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice
         of Default") from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the
         outstanding principal amount of the Notes (except in the case of a
         default with respect to Section 5.1 hereof, which will constitute an
         Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage
         of time requirement);

                  (d)      the failure to pay at final maturity (giving effect
         to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the stated
         principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted
         Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary
         that is not a Significant Subsidiary), or the acceleration of the final
         stated maturity of any such Indebtedness (which acceleration is not
         rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 20 days of receipt by the
         Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such
         acceleration) if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness,
         together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in
         default for failure to pay principal at final stated maturity or which
         has been accelerated (in each case with respect to which the 20-day
         period described above has elapsed), aggregates $15.0 million or more
         at any time;

                  (e)      one or more judgments (not covered by insurance as to
         which the carrier has assumed the defense or acknowledged coverage) in
         an aggregate amount in excess of $15.0 million shall have been rendered
         against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other
         than a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Significant
         Subsidiary) and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed
         for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final
         and non-appealable;

                  (f)      the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the
         Company:

                  Bankruptcy Law,

                                      -67-

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

                           (iii)    consents to the appointment of a custodian
                  or receiver of it or for all or substantially, all of its
                  property,

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

                  become due;

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

                           (i)      is for relief in an involuntary case against
                  the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company;

                           (ii)     appoints a custodian or receiver of the
                  Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or
                  substantially all of the property of any of the foregoing;

                           (iii)    orders the liquidation of the Company or any
                  of its Significant Subsidiaries;

         and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60
         consecutive days;

                  (h)      any Security Document shall cease to be in full force
         and effect, or cease to be effective in all material respects to grant
         a perfected Lien on the Collateral with the priority purported to be
         created thereby for 30 days after notice by the Trustee or the Holders
         of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes to the
         Company; or

                  (i)      any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to
         be in full force and effect or any Guarantee of a Significant
         Subsidiary is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any
         Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary is found to be invalid or any
         Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary denies its liability in
         writing under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a
         Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture).

Section 6.2.               Acceleration.

                  If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.1 hereof with respect to the
Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least
25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and
accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in
writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of
Default and that it is a "notice of acceleration" (the "Acceleration Notice"),
and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default
specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.1 hereof occurs and is continuing
with respect to the Company, then all unpaid principal of

                                      -68-

<PAGE>

and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding
Notes shall ipso facto become and be due and payable without any declaration or
act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

                  The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind and cancel
such declaration and its consequences:

                  (1)      if the rescission would not conflict with any
         judgment or decree;

                  (2)      if all existing Events of Default have been cured or
         waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due
         solely because of the acceleration;

                  (3)      to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful,
         if interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal,
         which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of
         acceleration, has been paid;

                  (4)      if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable
         compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements
         and advances; and

                  (5)      in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of
         Default of the type described in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.1
         hereof, the Trustee shall have received an Officers' Certificate and an
         Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

Section 6.3.               Other Remedies.

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

                  The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding, and
any recovery or judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.
A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or
remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.4.               Waiver of Past Defaults.

                  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may
waive any existing Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, and its
consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on
any Notes. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this

                                      -69-

<PAGE>

Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or
impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.5.               Control by Majority.

                  Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any
trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture that the Trustee
reasonably determines may be prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes
or that may subject the Trustee to personal liability and shall be entitled to
the benefit of Sections 7.1(c)(iii) and (e) hereof.

Section 6.6.               Limitation on Suits.

                  A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Notes only if:

                  (a)      the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written
         notice of a continuing Event of Default;

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

                  (c)      such Holder or Holders of Notes offer and, if
         requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee
         against any loss, liability or expense;

                  (d)      the Trustee does not comply with the request within
         60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested,
         the provision of indemnity; and

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

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

Section 6.7.               Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the
right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if
any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Note, on or after the
respective due dates thereon (including in connection with an offer to
repurchase), 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
written consent of such Holder.

Section 6.8.               Collection Suit by Trustee.

                  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.l(a) or (b)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its
own name and as trustee of an express trust against the

                                      -70-

<PAGE>

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

Section 6.9.               Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

                  The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents (including
accountants, experts or such other processionals as the Trustee deems necessary,
advisable or appropriate) and counsel and the Holders of the Notes allowed in
any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to
collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims, and any custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.7 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof out of the estate in
any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall
be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions,
dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be
entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan
of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10.              Priorities.

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

                  First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts
         due under Section 7.7 hereof, including payment of all compensation,
         expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee
         and the costs and expenses of collection;

                  Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the
         Notes for principal, Purchase Price, Redemption Price and Additional
         Interest, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority
         of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for

         any, and interest, respectively; and

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

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

Section 6.11.              Undertaking for Costs.

                  In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by
any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit,
and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit
by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than
10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                                     TRUSTEE

Section 7.1.               Duties of Trustee.

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

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

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

                  (ii)     in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee
         may conclusively rely, without investigation, as to the truth or the
         statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
         and statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
         conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.

However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine
whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.

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

                                      -72-

<PAGE>

                  (i)      this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph
         (b) of this Section 7.1;

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

                  (iii)    the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
         action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
         direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5 hereof.

                  (d)      Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to
this Section 7.1.

                  (e)      The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed by the
Company and the Noteholders to enter into the Collateral Access Agreement, or
any amendment, restatement, supplement, renewal, replacement or other
modification thereof entered into in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture. The Trustee is also hereby authorized and directed by the Company and
the Noteholder to enter into Intercreditor Agreements from time to time, or any
amendment, restatement, supplement, renewal, replacement or other modification
thereof entered into in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

                  (f)      No provision of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this
Indenture at the request of any Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 6.5 hereof, unless such Holder
shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it against any loss, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction.

                  (g)      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. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law.

Section 7.2.               Rights of Trustee.

                  (a)      The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The
Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

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

                  (c)      The Trustee may act through its attorneys,
accountants, experts and such other professionals as the Trustee deems
necessary, advisable or appropriate and shall not be responsible for

                                      -73-

<PAGE>

the misconduct or negligence of any attorney, accountant, expert or other such
professional appointed with due care.

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

                  (e)      Unless otherwise specifically provided in this
Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be
sufficiently evidenced by a written order signed by two Officers of the Company.

                  (f)      The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of
any Default or Event of Default under Section 6.1 hereof (other than under
Section 6.1(a) (subject to the following sentence) or Section 6.1(b) hereof)
unless either (i) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof, or
(ii) the Trustee shall have received notice thereof in accordance with Section
15.2 hereof from the Company or any Holder of the Notes. The Trustee shall not
be charged with knowledge of the Company's obligation to pay Additional
Interest, or the cessation of such obligation, unless the Trustee receives
written notice thereof from the Company or any Holder.

                  (g)      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 each agent, custodian and other Person employed
to act hereunder.

                  (h)      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 specified as
so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

Section 7.3.               Individual Rights of Trustee.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting
interest within the meaning of the TIA it must eliminate such conflict within 90
days, apply (subject to the consent of the Company) to the Commission for
permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like
rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.4.               Trustee's Disclaimer.

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

                                      -74-

<PAGE>

herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with
the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate
of authentication.

Section 7.5.               Notice of Defaults.

                  If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of
Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in
payment on any Note (including the failure to make a mandatory repurchase
pursuant hereto), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a
committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.6.               Reports by Trustee to Holder of the Notes.

                  Within 60 days after each February 15 beginning with February
15, 2004, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to
the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that
complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section
313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no
report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section
313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA
Section 313(c).

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

Section 7.7.               Compensation, Reimbursement and Indemnity.

                  The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and the rendering by it of the
services required hereunder as shall be agreed upon in writing by the Company
and the Trustee. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the
Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and
expenses incurred or made by or on behalf of it in addition to the compensation
for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation,
disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's attorneys, accountants, experts and
such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or
appropriate.

                  The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses,
including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the
income of the Trustee), incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture (including its
duties under Section 9.6 hereof), including the costs and expenses of enforcing
this Indenture or any Guarantee against the Company or a Guarantor (including
this Section 7.7) and defending itself against or investigating any claim
(whether asserted by the Company, any Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person)
or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense is
caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee

                                      -75-

<PAGE>

shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.
Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of
its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend any claim or threatened
claim asserted against the Trustee, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the
defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any
settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

                  The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.7 shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture and the termination of this Indenture.

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

                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(f) or (g) hereof occurs, the expenses
and the compensation for the services (including the reasonable fees and
expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.8.               Replacement of Trustee.

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

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

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

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

                  (c)      a custodian, receiver or public officer takes charge
         of the Trustee or its property for the purpose of rehabilitation,
         conversation or liquidation; or

                  (d)      the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

                  If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the date on which the successor Trustee
takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
out-

                                      -76-

<PAGE>

standing Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company.

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

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

                  A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The Company shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holder of the Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property
held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the
Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section
7.7 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.8, the Company's obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.9.               Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

                  If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation that is eligible under Section 7.10 hereof, the successor
corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10.              Eligibility; Disqualification.

                  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof (including the District of Columbia) that is
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, that is subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a
combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most
recent published annual report of condition.

                  This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to
TIA Section 310(b).

Section 7.11.              Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

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

                                 ARTICLE VIII.

                    LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.1.               Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant
                           Defeasance.

                  The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors
evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate, at any time,
elect to have either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof be applied to all outstanding
Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

Section 8.2.               Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Company shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be deemed to
have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes
on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal
Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to the "outstanding" only
for the purposes of Section 8.5 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in clauses (a) through (d) below, and to have satisfied all their
other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on
demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

                  (a)      the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect
         of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when
         such payments are due;

                  (b)      the Company's obligations with respect to the Notes
         concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated,
         destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or
         agency for payments;

                  (c)      the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of
         the Trustee and the Company's obligations in connection therewith; and

                  (d)      the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Article VIII.

                  Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may
exercise its option under this Section 8.2, notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.3 hereof.

Section 8.3.               Covenant Defeasance.

                  Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.3, the Company shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be released from
its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.9, 3.10, 4.5, 4.7
through 4.12, 4.13 (except with respect to the corporate existence of the
Company) and 4.14 through 4.19 hereof, both inclusive, and Section 5.1(2) with
respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the

                                      -78-

<PAGE>

date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant
Defeasance"), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the
purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and
the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall
continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being
understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant
to any other provision herein or in any other document, and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1
hereof, but, except as specified above the remainder of this Indenture and such
Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise
under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, Sections
6.1(c) through 6.1(i) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.4.               Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

                  The following are the conditions precedent to the application
of either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

Defeasance:

         Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders cash in U.S. dollars,
         U.S. Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts
         as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
         of independent public accountants selected by the Company, to pay the
         principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the stated
         date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the
         case may be;

                  (2)      in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall
         have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United
         States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

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

                           (b)  since the date of this Indenture, there has been
                  a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

         in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of
         Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain
         or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal
         Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
         amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
         the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

                                      -79-

<PAGE>

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

                  (4)      no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
         and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or
         an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied
         to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings);

                  (5)      such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall
         not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
         this Indenture (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting
         from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant
         of any Lien securing such borrowings) or any other material agreement
         or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a
         party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

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

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

                  (8)      the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, assuming no intervening
         bankruptcy of the Company between the date of deposit and the 91st day
         following the date of deposit and that no Holder is an insider of the
         Company, after the 91st day following the date of deposit, the trust
         funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,
         insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights
         generally.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the opinion of counsel required
by clause (2) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if
all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have
become due and payable or (2) will become due and payable on the maturity date
within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
Company.

Section 8.5.      Deposited Money and U.S. Government Securities to Be Held in
                  Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

                  Subject to Section 8.6 hereof, all money and U.S. Government
Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5 only, the
"Trustee") pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes

                                      -80-

<PAGE>

shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (other than the Company) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in
respect of principal or Redemption Price of, and Additional Interest, if any,
interest on, the Notes, that such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.

                  The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S.
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof or the principal
and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other
charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

                  Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the
request of the Company any money or U.S. Government Securities held by it as
provided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under
Section 8.4(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be
required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.

Section 8.6.               Repayment to the Company.

                  Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or
then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal, Redemption
Price or Purchase Price of, or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on any
Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the
Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall
thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof as a general creditor,
and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, at the expense of the Company, may cause to
be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national
editions), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days after the date of such
notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
will be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.7.               Reinstatement.

                  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United
States dollars or U.S. Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.2 or
8.3 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order of judgment of any court
or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the obligations of the Company under this Indenture, and the
Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit
had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with
Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the
Company makes any payment with respect to any Note following the reinstatement
of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders
of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or
Paying Agent.

                        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.1.               Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

                  Notwithstanding Section 9.2 of this Indenture, the Company,
the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the
Notes, any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement or any other
agreement or instrument entered into by it in connection with this Indenture,
the Notes or the Security Documents without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

                  (a)      to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency so
         long as such change does not, in the opinion of the Trustee (which
         opinion may be formulated in reliance on such evidence as the Trustee
         deems appropriate, including, without limitation, solely on an opinion
         of counsel), adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any
         material respect.

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

                  (c)      to provide for the assumption of the Company's
         obligations to the Holders of the Notes in the case of a merger or
         consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
         assets pursuant to Article V hereof;

                  (d)      to comply with the requirements of the Commission in
         order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under
         the TIA;

                  (e)      to make any change that would provide any additional
         rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
         adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Notes;
         or

                  (f)      to enter into a supplemental indenture to provide for
         the issuance of Additional Notes.

                  Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a resolution
of the Board (evidenced by an Officers' Certificate) authorizing the execution
of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee
of the documents described in Section 7.2 hereof, the Trustee shall join with
the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized
or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall
not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that
affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.2.               With Consent of Holders of Notes.

                  Except as provided below in this Section 9.2, the Company and
the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Security
Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and

                                      -82-

<PAGE>

any other agreement or instrument entered into by it in connection with this
Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents with the consent of the Holders
of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer or exchange offer for the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.2, 6.4 and
6.7 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any
provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
(including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer
for the Notes).

                  Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or
waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

                  (2)      reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of
         changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted
         interest, on any Notes;

                  (3)      reduce the principal of or change or have the effect
         of changing the fixed maturity of any Notes, or change the date on
         which any Notes may be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption
         price therefor;

                  (4)      make any Notes payable in money other than that
         stated in the Notes;

                  (5)      make any change in provisions of this Indenture
         protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of
         and interest on such Holder's Note or Notes on or after the due date
         thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders
         of a majority in principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events
         of Default;

                  (6)      after the Company's obligation to purchase Notes
         arises hereunder, amend, change or modify in any material respect the
         obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control
         Offer in the event of a Change of Control, or make and consummate a Net
         Proceeds Offer with respect to any Asset Sale that has been consummated
         or make and consummate a Loss Proceeds Offer with respect to any Event
         of Loss that has occurred or, after such Change of Control has
         occurred, such Asset Sale has been consummated, or such Event of Loss
         has occurred, as the case may be, modify any of the provisions or
         definitions with respect thereto;

                  (7)      subordinate the Notes or any Guarantee to any other
         Indebtedness; or

                  (8)      except as otherwise permitted herein, release any
         Guarantee or substantially all of the Collateral.

                  Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a
resolution of the Board (evidenced by an Officers' Certificate) authorizing the
execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing
with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the
Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officers'
Certificate and an

                                      -83-

<PAGE>

opinion of counsel, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of
such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental
Indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of
Notes under this Section 9.2 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, supplement or waiver under this Section
9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or
supplemental Indenture or waiver.

Section 9.3.               Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 9.4.               Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Section 9.5.               Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

                  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an
amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The
Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate
new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

                  Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note
shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver.

Section 9.6.               Trustee to Sign Amendment, Etc.

                  The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture
authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until the Board
of Directors approves such amendment or supplemental indenture. In executing any
amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with, in
addition to the documents required by Sections 15.4 and 15.5 hereof, and,
subject to Section 7.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an

                                      -84-

<PAGE>

Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the execution
of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture, (ii) no Event of Default shall occur as a result of the execution of
such Officers' Certificate or the delivery of such Opinion of Counsel and (iii)
the amended or supplemental indenture complies with the terms of this Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE X.

such Lien on the Collateral, or any part thereof, as from time to time
constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of
the Security Documents, this Indenture and the Notes. The Company further
covenants and agrees that each Security Document, as applicable, creates or will
create (when delivered) a valid first-ranking Lien (subject to Permitted Liens)
on the Collateral subject thereto.

                  (b)      The Company shall furnish to the Trustee on February
15 of each year, beginning February 15, 2004, an Opinion or Opinions of Counsel,
dated as of such date, either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such
action has been taken with respect to the recording, registering, filing,

assurances, as is necessary to maintain the Lien created by each such Security
Document and reciting the details of such action or referring to prior Opinions
of Counsel in which such details are given, and stating that all financing
statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are
necessary to perfect such Lien, or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel,
no such action is necessary to maintain such Liens.

Section 10.3.              Possession of the Collateral.

                  (a)      Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, the

Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts received
by the Trustee as proceeds of any part of the Collateral (including Net Cash
Proceeds in the case of an Asset Sale and Net Loss Proceeds in the case of an
Event of Loss) and all amounts of money, securities, letters of credit and other
evidences of indebtedness deposited with or held by the Trustee in accordance

this Indenture, the Notes, any Guarantees and the Security Documents until
applied in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 10.4.              Suits to Protect the Collateral.

                           The Trustee shall have power to institute in its name
and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent
any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in
violation of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents, and such suits and
proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its
interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral and in the
principal, interest, issues, profits, rents, revenues and other income arising
therefrom, including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to
restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other
governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise

release is in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security
Documents.

                  (b)      The release of any Collateral from the Lien of the

Documents and relating to the substitution therefor of any property to be
subjected to the Lien of the Security Documents. Any certificate or opinion
required by TIA Section 314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Company, except
in cases where TIA Section 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be
made by an independent person, which person shall be an independent engineer,
appraiser or other expert selected by the Company.

                  (a)      Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance. The Company

without limitation, TIA Section 314(d)) or reasonably required by the Trustee
prior to the release of such Collateral, the Trustee shall forthwith take all

the expense of the Company) to release and reconvey to the Company without
recourse all of the Collateral, and shall deliver such Collateral in its
possession to the Company and shall execute and deliver to the Company releases
and satisfactions, in recordable form, to the extent reasonably requested by the
Company.

                  (b)      Releases of Collateral in Connection with Asset

         Released Collateral (a "Company Notice") and

         least equal to the fair market value of the Released Collateral,

                                      -87-

<PAGE>

                  (D)      stating that the release of such Released Collateral
         shall not materially and adversely impair the value of the remaining
         Collateral, taken as a whole,

                  (E)      confirming the sale of, or an agreement to sell, such
         Released Collateral in a bona fide sale,

         as a first priority perfected Lien upon the remaining Mortgaged
         Property, subject only to Permitted Liens.

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.5 and 10.6
hereof and the Security Documents and subject to Sections 10.8 and 15.1 hereof,
the Company may, without any prior release or consent by the Trustee:

                  (i)      sell or otherwise dispose in any transaction or
         series of related transactions of any Collateral that may be defective
         or may have become worn out, defective or obsolete or is not used or
         useful in the operation of the Company;

                  (ii)     alter, repair, replace, change the location or
         position of and add to its plants, structures, machinery, systems,
         equipment, fixtures and appurtenances constituting Collateral;
         provided, however, that no change in the location of any such
         Collateral subject to the Lien of any of the Security Documents shall
         be made unless the Trustee receives not less than 30 days' prior
         written notice of such change;

                  (iii)    subject to the provisions of the Security Documents,
         abandon, terminate, cancel, release or make alterations in or

         Lien of the Security Documents;

                  (iv)     grant a non-exclusive license of any interest in or
         right to intellectual property included in Collateral; or

                  (v)      abandon any interest in or right to intellectual
         property included in Collateral.

Nothing in this Article X shall limit the right of each of the Company and the
Restricted Subsidiaries to sell, lease or otherwise deal in or dispose of its
property or assets that do not constitute Collateral, subject only to the
provisions of Article IV hereof.

Section 10.8.              Sufficiency of Release.

                  All purchasers and grantees of any property or rights
purporting to be released shall be entitled to rely upon any release executed by
the Trustee hereunder as sufficient for the purpose of this Indenture and as
constituting a good and valid release of the property therein described from the
Lien of this Indenture and of the Security Documents.

Section 10.9.              Actions by the Trustee.

                  Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and
Article VIII, the Trustee may in its sole discretion and without the consent of
the Holders take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (i)
enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents and (ii) to collect and
receive all amounts payable in respect of the obligations of the Company and any
Guarantors under the Security Documents and this Indenture. The Trustee shall
have the power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may
deem expedient in order to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any act
that may be unlawful or in violation of this Indenture or the Security
Documents, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to
preserve or protect its interests and those of the

                                      -90-

<PAGE>

Holders in the Collateral. No duty beyond that set forth in Section 7.1 is
imposed on the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.9.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                    GUARANTEE

Section 11.1.              Unconditional Guarantee.

                  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees (such
guarantee to be referred to herein as a "Guarantee"), on a senior basis jointly
and severally, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, the Notes or the
obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of
and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any
applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and
interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any interest, to the
extent lawful, of the Notes and all other obligations of the Company to the
Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or
performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case
of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other
obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable
grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, subject,
however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth
in Section 11.3. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder
shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect
to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Company, and action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.
Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing
of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company,
any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and
all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged
except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this
Indenture and in this Guarantee. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any
court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor, or any custodian,
trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company
or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee
or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be
reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as
between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the
other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of this Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the
event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

Section 11.2.              Severability.

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

Section 11.3.              Limitation of Guarantor's Liability.

                  Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such
Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance
Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law. To
effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such Guarantor hereby
irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee
shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to
any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or
pursuant to Section 11.5, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the
Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.4.              Release of Guarantor.

                  (a)      The Guarantee and any obligations of a Guarantor
under any Security Document to which it is a party and any Lien created by such
Guarantor under any such Security Documents will be automatically and
unconditionally released without any action on the part of the Trustee or the
Holders of the Notes: (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including, without
limitation, by way of merger or consolidation), if the Company applies the Net
Cash Proceeds of that sale or other disposition in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Indenture; (2) in connection with any sale of all
of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor, if the Company applies the Net Cash
Proceeds of that sale in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Indenture; (3) if the Company designates that Guarantor as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or
(4) upon the payment in full of the Notes.

                  In addition, concurrently with any Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance, the Guarantors shall be released from all of their
Obligations under their respective applicable Guarantees.

                  (b)      The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument
evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by
an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance
with this Section 11.4.

Section 11.5.              Contribution.

                  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among
the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or
distribution is made by any Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor") under the
Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all
other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets (as
defined below) of each

                                      -92-

<PAGE>

Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and
expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company's
obligations with respect to the Securities or any other Guarantor's obligations
with respect to the Guarantee. "Adjusted Net Assets" of such Guarantor at any
date shall mean the lesser of the amount by which (x) the fair value of the
property of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including,
without limitation, contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other
fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date), but
excluding liabilities under the Guarantee, of such Guarantor at such date and
(y) the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date
exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such
Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent
liabilities incurred or assumed on such date), excluding debt in respect of the
Guarantee of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.

Section 11.6.              Waiver of Subrogation.

                  Until all Obligations are paid in full, each Guarantor hereby
irrevocably waives any claims or other rights which it may now or hereafter
acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance
or enforcement of such Guarantor's obligations under the Guarantee and this
Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any
claim or remedy of any Holder against the Company, whether or not such claim,
remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law,
including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company,
directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other
manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any
amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and
the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed
to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for
the benefit of, the Holders, and shall, forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the
benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each
Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from
the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver
set forth in this Section 11.6 is knowingly made in contemplation of such
benefits.

Section 11.7.              Execution of Guarantee.

                  To evidence their guarantee to the Holders set forth in this
Article XI, the Guarantors hereby agree to execute the Guarantee in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, which shall be endorsed on
each Note ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this Article XI shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each
Note a notation of such Guarantee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf
of each Guarantor by one of its authorized Officers prior to the authentication
of the Note on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Note by the
Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due
delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor. Such signatures upon the
Guarantee may be by manual or facsimile signature of such officers and may be
imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case any such officer
who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such officer before the
Note on which such Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Note

                                      -93-

<PAGE>

nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the
Person who signed the Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer of the
Guarantor.

Section 11.8.              Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

                  Each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law
or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive each such Guarantor
from performing its Guarantee as contemplated herein, wherever 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)
each such Guarantor 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.

                                  ARTICLE XII.

                               COLLATERAL ACCOUNT

Section 12.1.              Collateral Account.

Indenture, there shall be maintained by the Company with the Trustee, the
Collateral Account. The Collateral Account shall be established and maintained
with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and designated in the name of
Anchor Glass Container Corporation, subject to the security interest in favor of

Collateral Account and thereafter shall be held by and under the control of the
Trustee for its benefit and for the benefit of the Holders as a part of the
Collateral and, upon any entry upon or sale or other disposition of the
Collateral or any part thereof pursuant to any of the Security Documents, said
Trust Monies shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.10 hereof; but prior

Monies held by the Trustee may be withdrawn, and shall be released, paid or
applied by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Article XII.

Proceeds, such Trust Monies may be withdrawn by the Company and shall be paid by
the Trustee upon a Company Request delivered to the Trustee to be applied for
any purpose permitted by Section 4.19 upon receipt by the Trustee of the
following:

                  (a)      An Officers' Certificate, dated not more than 30 days

                           (ii)     that all conditions precedent herein

                  application have been complied with; and

                           (ii)     that the relevant Security Documents create
                  a Lien in favor of the Trustee and, to the extent that such
                  Lien is a security interest in any such Collateral that may be
                  perfected under the relevant UCC, that such security interest
                  in such Collateral is perfected.

                           (i)      that no Event of Default shall have occurred
                  and be continuing after giving effect to such application;

                           (ii)     (x) that such Trust Monies constitute Net

                  constitute Collateral and were acquired with Net Cash Proceeds
                  of Collateral, the relevant Security Documents create a Lien
                  in favor of the Trustee on such Replacement Assets and, to the
                  extent that such Lien is a security interest in any such
                  Replacement Assets that may be perfected under the relevant
                  UCC, that such security interest in such Replacement Assets is
                  perfected.

                  Upon compliance with the foregoing provisions, the Trustee
shall apply the Released Trust Monies as directed and specified by the Company.

                  unless such Default or Event of Default would be cured
                  thereby; and

                           (ii)     that all conditions precedent herein
                  provided for relating to such application of Trust Monies have
                  been complied with; and

                  (b)      an Opinion of Counsel stating all conditions

THE BANK OF NEW YORK,
as Trustee

By: ____________________________
    Name:
    Title:

                                      A-4

                                 (Back of Note)

                        11% Senior Secured Notes due 2013

                  Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned
to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

                  1.       Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at the rate of 11% per annum from the date of
original issuance until maturity and shall pay Additional Interest pursuant to
Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred below. The Company will
pay interest and Additional Interest semi-annually on February 15 and August 15
of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day (each an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Note will accrue
from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has
been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing
Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a
record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment
Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be August
15, 2003. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in
any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue payments of the principal,
Purchase Price and Redemption Price of this Note from time to time on demand at
a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay
interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if
any, (without regard to any applicable grace periods) hereon from time to time
on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. 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) and Additional Interest, if any, to the
Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the
February 1 and August 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such
Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment
Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to
defaulted interest. Any such installment of interest or Additional Interest, if
any, not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the registered Holders on such Interest Payment Date, and may be paid
to the registered Holders at the close of business on a special interest payment
date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest,
notice whereof shall be given to the registered Holders not less than ten days
prior to such special interest payment date, or may be paid at any time in any
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The
Notes will be payable as to principal, Redemption Price, Purchase Price,
interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York,
or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest
may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the
register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately
available funds will be required with respect to principal, Redemption Price and
Purchase Price of, and interest and Additional Interest (if any) on, all Global
Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer
instructions to the Trustee or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such
coin or currency of the

                                      A-5

<PAGE>

United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts.

                  3.       Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of
New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice
to any Holder. The Company may act in any such capacity.

                  4.       Indenture and Guarantees. The Company issued $300
million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes under an Indenture dated as
of February 7, 2003 (the  "Indenture")  between the Company, the Guarantors and
the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and
those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended (15 U.S.C. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject
to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a
statement of such terms. The Notes are general obligations of the Company.

                  5.       Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem any or
all of the Notes at any time on or after February 15, 2008, upon not less than
30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice in amounts of $1,000 or an integral
multiple thereof at the Redemption Prices (expressed as a percentage of the
principal amount) set forth below, if redeemed during the 12-month period
beginning February 15 of the years indicated below:

2011 and thereafter................................             100.000%
</TABLE>

in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest,
if any, on the Notes redeemed.

                  If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee
will select the particular Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed by lot, pro
rata or by any other method the Trustee shall deem fair and reasonable.

                  6.       Special Redemption. In the event the Company
completes one or more Public Equity Offerings on or before February 15, 2006,
the Company, at its option, may use the net cash proceeds from any such Public
Equity Offering to redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the
Notes (a "Special Redemption") at a Redemption Price of 111% of the principal
amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest (if
any), to the date of redemption; provided, however, that at least 65% of the
original principal amount of the Notes will remain outstanding immediately after
any such redemption; and provided, further, that such redemption shall occur
within 90 days after the date of the closing of any such Public Equity Offering.
If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the
particular Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed either: (1) in compliance
with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on
which the

                                      A-6

<PAGE>

Notes are listed; or (2) by lot, only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro
rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures).

                  7.       Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in
Paragraph 9 below with respect to repurchases of Notes in certain events, the
Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect
to the Notes.

                  8.       Notice of Redemption. Subject to the provisions of
the Indenture, a notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days (or 45 days in the case of mandatory redemption) before the
Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered
address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but
only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are
to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on
Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has
deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable
redemption price.

                  9.       Repurchase at Option of Holder.

                  (a)      If there is a Change of Control, the Company shall be
required to make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to repurchase all or any
part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at
a Purchase Price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Within 30 days
following any Change of Control, the Company shall send by first-class mail a
notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of
Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

                  (b)      On the 361st day after an Asset Sale (the "Net
Proceeds Offer Trigger Date"), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which
have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as
permitted in clauses (3)(A), (3)(B) and (3)(C) of paragraph (a) of Section 4.10
of the Indenture (each, a "Net Proceeds Offer Amount") shall be applied by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the "Net
Proceeds Offer"), on a date (the "Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date") not less
than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer
Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis, that amount of Notes equal
to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
if any, to the date of purchase. Each Net Proceeds Offer will be mailed to the
record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 25 days following the
Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply
with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Upon receiving notice of the Net
Proceeds Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part in
integral multiples of $1,000 in exchange for cash. To the extent Holders
properly tender Notes in an amount exceeding the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the
tendered Notes will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate
amounts of Notes tendered (and the Trustee shall select the tendered Notes of
tendering Holders on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Notes tendered). A
Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 business days or such
longer period as may be required by law. The Company may defer the Net Proceeds
Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to
or in excess of $10 million resulting from one or more Asset Sales (at which
time, the entire unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and not just the amount
in excess of $10 million, shall be applied as required above).

                                      A-7

<PAGE>

                  (c)      Any Net Loss Proceeds from an Event of Loss with
respect to Collateral that are not applied or invested as provided in the first
sentence of paragraph (a) of Section 4.19 of the Indenture prior to the 361st
day after the Event of Loss (the "Loss Proceeds Offer Trigger Date") will be
deemed to constitute "Excess Loss Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess
Loss Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, the Company will make an offer to purchase
(a "Loss Proceeds Offer") on a date (the "Loss Proceeds Offer Payment Date") not
less than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Loss Proceeds Offer
Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis, that amount of Notes equal
to the Loss Proceeds Offer Amount at an offer price in cash in an amount equal
to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right
of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant
interest payment date in accordance with the procedures set forth herein). If
the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the
Excess Loss Proceeds to be used to purchase Notes, the Trustee shall select the
Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. To the extent that the aggregate
amount of Notes tendered pursuant to a Loss Proceeds Offer is less than the Loss
Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may apply any remaining Net Loss Proceeds to
any purpose consistent with the Indenture and, following the consummation of
each Loss Proceeds Offer, the Loss Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Company may
commence a Loss Proceeds Offer prior to the expiration of 360 days after the
occurrence of an Event of Loss.

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

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

                  12.      Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of
the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent
of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended or
supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to
provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to Holders of the Notes
in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide any
additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, or to
comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain
the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

                  13.      Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i)
default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest or Additional Interest,
on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of stated principal, Redemption
Price or Purchase Price of the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at
maturity, upon redemption, repurchase or otherwise (including the failure to
make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer
or a Net Proceeds Offer); (iii) failure by the Company to comply with any
covenant contained in the Indenture for 45 days after notice to the Company by
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes outstanding; (iv) default under certain other agreements relating to
Indebtedness of the Company which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay any
amount due at the stated maturity thereof or (b) results in the acceleration
(which acceleration is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 20 days
of receipt of notice of any such acceleration) of such Indebtedness prior to its
express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of such Indebtedness,
together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which
there has been a default for failure to pay principal at final stated maturity
or the maturity of which has been so accelerated (in each case with respect to
which the 20-day period described above has elapsed), aggregates $15.0 million
or more; (v) certain final judgments for the payment of money that remain
undischarged for a period of 60 days, provided that the aggregate of all such
undischarged judgments exceeds $15.0 million; and (vi) certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary of the Company. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Upon any such declaration, the entire principal amount of, and accrued and
unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes shall become
immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an
Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all
outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the
Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of
any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of
any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default
relating to payment on any Note) if it determines that withholding notice is in
their interest. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may
waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture, and
its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or
interest on any Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee
annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is
required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to
the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

                  14.      Trustee Dealings with Company. Subject to certain
limitations, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become owner or pledge of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its Affiliates as if it were not Trustee.

                  15.      No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or
future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company,
as such, shall 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 releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

                                 (Back of Note)

                        11% Senior Secured Notes due 2013

                  Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned
to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

                  1.       Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the
principal amount of this Note at the rate of 11% per annum from the date of
original issuance until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on
February 15 and August 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business
Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an "Interest Payment Date").
Interest on the Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has
been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided
that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this
Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and
the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next
succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest
Payment Date shall be August 15, 2003. The Company shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
payments of the principal, Purchase Price and Redemption Price of this Note from
time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then
in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any
(without regard to any applicable grace periods), hereon from time to time on
demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. 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 February 1 and August 1 next preceding
the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record
date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section
2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Any such installment
of interest not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the registered Holders on such Interest Payment Date, and may be paid
to the registered Holders at the close of business on a special interest payment
date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest,
notice whereof shall be given to the registered Holders not less than ten days
prior to such special interest payment date, or may be paid at any time in any
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The
Notes will be payable as to principal, Redemption Price, Purchase Price and
interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose
within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the
Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their
addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire
transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to
principal, Redemption Price and Purchase Price of, and interest (if any) on, all
Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire
transfer instructions to the Trustee or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be
in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

<PAGE>

                  3.       Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of
New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice
to any Holder. The Company may act in any such capacity.

                  4.       Indenture and Guarantees. The Company issued $300
million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes under an Indenture dated as
of February 7, 2003 (the "Indenture") between the Company, the Guarantor and the
Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (15 U.S.C. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all
such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a
statement of such terms. The Notes are general obligations of the Company.

                  5.       Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem any or
all of the Notes at any time on or after February 15, 2008, upon not less than
30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice in amounts of $1,000 or an integral
multiple thereof at the Redemption Prices (expressed as a percentage of the
principal amount) set forth below, if redeemed during the 12-month period
beginning January 1 of the years indicated below:

2011 and thereafter................................             100.000%
</TABLE>

in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes
redeemed.

                  If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee
will select the particular Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed by lot, pro
rata or by any other method the Trustee shall deem fair and reasonable.

                  6.       Special Redemption. In the event the Company
completes one or more Public Equity Offerings on or before February 15, 2006,
the Company, at its option, may use the net cash proceeds from any such Public
Equity Offering to redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the
Notes (a "Special Redemption") at a Redemption Price of 111% of the principal
amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
redemption; provided, however, that at least 65% of the original principal
amount of the Notes will remain outstanding immediately after any such
redemption; and provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 90
days after the date of the closing of any such Public Equity Offering. If less
than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the particular
Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed either: (1) in compliance with the
requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the
Notes are listed; or (2) by lot, only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro
rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures).

                                      B-5

<PAGE>

                  7.       Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in
Paragraph 9 below with respect to repurchases of Notes in certain events, the
Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect
to the Notes.

                  8.       Notice of Redemption. Subject to the provisions of
the Indenture, a notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days (or 45 days in the case of Mandatory redemption) before the
Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered
address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but
only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are
to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on
Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has
deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable
redemption price.

                  9.       Repurchase at Option of Holder.

                  (a)      If there is a Change of Control, the Company shall be
required to make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to repurchase all or any
part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder's Notes at
a Purchase Price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the date of repurchase, in accordance with the procedures set
forth in the Indenture. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the
Company shall send by first-class mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the
procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

                  (b)      On the 361st day after an Asset Sale (the "Net
Proceeds Offer Trigger Date"), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which
have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as
permitted in clauses (3)(A), (3)(B) and (3)(C) of paragraph (a) of Section 4.10
of the Indenture (each, a "Net Proceeds Offer Amount") shall be applied by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the "Net
Proceeds Offer"), on a date (the "Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date") not less
than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer
Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis, that amount of Notes equal
to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
if any, to the date of purchase. Each Net Proceeds Offer will be mailed to the
record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 25 days following the
Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply
with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Upon receiving notice of the Net
Proceeds Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part in
integral multiples of $1,000 in exchange for cash. To the extent Holders
properly tender Notes in an amount exceeding the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the
tendered Notes will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate
amounts of Notes tendered (and the Trustee shall select the tendered Notes of
tendering Holders on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Notes tendered). A
Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 business days or such
longer period as may be required by law. The Company may defer the Net Proceeds
Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to
or in excess of $10 million resulting from one or more Asset Sales (at which
time, the entire unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and not just the amount
in excess of $10 million, shall be applied as required above).

                                      B-6

<PAGE>

                  (c)      Any Net Loss Proceeds from an Event of Loss with
respect to Collateral that are not applied or invested as provided in the first
sentence of paragraph (a) of Section 4.19 of the Indenture prior to the 361st
day after the Event of Loss (the "Loss Proceeds Offer Trigger Date") will be
deemed to constitute "Excess Loss Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess
Loss Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, the Company will make an offer to purchase
(a "Loss Proceeds Offer") on a date (the "Loss Proceeds Offer Payment Date") not
less than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Loss Proceeds Offer
Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis, that amount of Notes equal
to the Loss Proceeds Offer Amount at an offer price in cash in an amount equal
to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right
of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant
interest payment date in accordance with the procedures set forth herein). If
the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the
Excess Loss Proceeds to be used to purchase Notes, the Trustee shall select the
Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. To the extent that the aggregate
amount of Notes tendered pursuant to a Loss Proceeds Offer is less than the Loss
Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may apply any remaining Net Loss Proceeds to
any purpose consistent with the Indenture and, following the consummation of
each Loss Proceeds Offer, the Loss Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Company may
commence a Loss Proceeds Offer prior to the expiration of 360 days after the
occurrence of an Event of Loss.

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

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

                  12.      Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of
the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent
of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended or
supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to
provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to Holders of the Notes
in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide any
additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, or to
comply with the

                                      B-7

<PAGE>

requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification
of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

                  13.      Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i)
default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest, if any, on the Notes;
(ii) default in payment when due of stated principal, Redemption Price or
Purchase Price of the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity,
upon redemption, repurchase or otherwise (including the failure to make a
payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a
Net Proceeds Offer); (iii) failure by the Company to comply with any covenant
contained in the Indenture for 45 days after notice to the Company by the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes outstanding; (iv) default under certain other agreements relating to
Indebtedness of the Company which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay any
amount due at the stated maturity thereof or (b) results in the acceleration
(which acceleration is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 20 days
of receipt of notice of any such acceleration) of such Indebtedness prior to its
express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of such Indebtedness,
together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which
there has been a default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or the
maturity of which has been so accelerated (in each case with respect to which
the 20-day period described above has elapsed) aggregates $15.0 million or more;
(v) certain final judgments for the payment of money that remain undischarged
for a period of 60 days, provided that the aggregate of all such undischarged
judgments exceeds $15.0 million; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency with respect to the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the
Company. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such
declaration, the entire principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes shall become immediately due and
payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default
arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes
will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not
enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject
to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.
The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing
Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to
payment on any Note) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive
any existing or past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture, and its
consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or interest
on any Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a
statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required
upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the
Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

                  14.      Trustee Dealings with Company. Subject to certain
limitations, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become owner or pledge of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its Affiliates as if it were not Trustee.

                  15.      No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or
future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company,
as such, shall 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

                                      B-8

<PAGE>

of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives
and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

                  16.      Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

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

                  18.      Discharge Prior to Maturity. If the Company deposits
with the Trustee or Paying Agent cash or U.S. Government Securities sufficient
to pay the principal or Redemption Price of, and interest and Additional
Interest, if any, on, the Notes to maturity or a specified Redemption Date and
satisfies certain conditions specified in the Indenture, the Company will be
discharged from the Indenture, except for certain Sections thereof.

                  19.      Governing Law. The Indenture and Guarantees and this
Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York but without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of
law to the extent that the application of the law of another jurisdiction would
be required thereby. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction
of any New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of
New York or any Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of
New York in respect of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to the Indenture and the Notes, and irrevocably accept for itself and in respect
of its property, generally and unconditionally, jurisdiction of the aforesaid
courts. The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may
effectively do so under applicable law, trial by jury and any objection which it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes
to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal
proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Company in any other jurisdiction.

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

                           11% Senior Secured Notes due 2013 (the "Notes")

Dear Sirs:

                  In connection with our proposed purchase of 11% Senior Secured
Notes due 2013 (the "Notes") of the Company, we confirm that:

                  1.       We understand that any subsequent transfer of the
Notes is subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the
Indenture dated as of February 7, 2003 relating to the Notes (the "Indenture")
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").

                  2.       We understand that the Notes have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law, and that the
Notes may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred 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 offer,
sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Notes within two
years after the original issuance of the Notes, we will do so only (A) to the
Company or any Subsidiary thereof, (B) inside the United States to a "qualified
institutional buyer" in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (C)
inside the United States to an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined
below) that, prior to such transfer, furnishes to you a signed letter
substantially in the form of this letter, (D) outside the United States to a
foreign person in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities
Act, (E) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under
the Securities Act (if available) (F) in accordance with another exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities, or (G) 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 and in the
Indenture.

                                      E-1

<PAGE>

                  3.       We understand that, on any proposed transfer of any
Notes prior to the later of the original issue date of the Securities and the
last date the Notes were held by an affiliate of the Company pursuant to
paragraphs  2(C), 2(D) and 2(E) above, we will be required to furnish to you and
the Company such certifications, legal opinions and other information as you and
the Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer
complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Notes
purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.

                  4.       We are an institutional "accredited investor" (as
defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) 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 acquiring the Notes for investment
purposes and not with a view to, or offer of sale in connection with, any
distribution in violation of the Securities Act, and we are each able to bear
the economic risk of our or its investment.

                  5.       We are acquiring the Notes purchased by us for our
own 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.

                  You and the Company are entitled to rely upon this letter and
are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any
interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry

                  (2)      at the time the buy order was originated, the

                  (3)      no directed selling efforts have been made by us in
         the United States in contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(b)
         or Rule 904(b) of Regulation S, as applicable; and

                 (4)       the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to
