<FONT size="2">Our Childtime and Tutor Time brands operate in
largely distinct market segments. Tutor Time attracts a more
affluent customer base, with higher average incomes than the
typical Childtime center. Childtime centers are, on average,
smaller, less standardized in construction and appeal to parents
who value a &#147;homey&#148; feel and more intimate experience
for their child. Tutor Time centers are larger, more
standardized in layout, and designed to appeal to parents who
value a more structured educational and developmental
experience. Both brands place emphasis on educational quality
and content, with our Curriculum Department developing
proprietary content distinct to each brand. Because Tutor Time
centers are typically larger than Childtime centers, they
generally deliver the potential for higher economic returns per
center. However, Tutor Time centers require higher investment
and are typically fitted with more expensive equipment and
supplies (e.g., telephones, intercoms and security cameras in
each room and children&#146;s computers).
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Childtime and Tutor Time corporate centers are
located in the United States (in 27 states), with the exception
of one Tutor Time center located in Canada. The vast majority of
these centers are operated on leased premises, with typical
lease terms ranging from 1 to 25&nbsp;years; 51 of the Childtime
centers are operated on Company-owned premises.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The 12 Childtime centers we operate under
management contracts are all located in the U.S., serving
hospitals, corporations and the federal government. Under these
contracts, we receive an annual operating fee and, in some
cases, are eligible to receive incentives for improving revenues
and/or managing costs. These contracts are typically up for
renewal on an annual basis.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Tutor Time franchise centers are also
predominantly located in the&nbsp;U.S., with 120&nbsp;centers
operating in 17&nbsp;states. An additional 11&nbsp;centers are
operated in Canada, Hong&nbsp;Kong, Indonesia, and the
Philippines, for the most part under master franchise
agreements. We currently guarantee leases for 66 of our
franchise centers, including sites under development. We believe
that Tutor Time is currently one of the largest franchisors of
child care services based in the United&nbsp;States.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In addition to our existing centers, we had
23&nbsp;Tutor Time centers under development as of
January&nbsp;3, 2003, of which six are to be Company-operated
centers and 17 are to be franchise centers. The majority of
these centers are scheduled to open before June 2003, with the
rest scheduled to open before June&nbsp;2004.

<FONT size="2">We acquired the assets of Tutor Time Learning
Systems,&nbsp;Inc. on July&nbsp;19, 2002, for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $22.8&nbsp;million, including
acquisition costs, plus the assumption of certain liabilities.
We purchased substantially all of the operating assets and
contract rights used by Tutor Time in its child care operations
and, as a result, significantly increased our revenue base and
the number of centers under our management. Our strategic
rationale for the acquisition was to improve the range of our
product offering and to enable us to enter the child care
franchise business. Specifically, through the acquisition of
Tutor Time, we acquired the ability to serve a different segment
of the child care market and to broaden our prospective customer
base. By catering to a more premium-priced clientele, we can
operate and market our Tutor Time centers as a different and
distinct brand. Furthermore, by operating Tutor Time as a
separate brand, we will be able to franchise and operate this
unique model, both domestically and internationally.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Our strategy is to offer a nationally-recognized
educational curriculum within a stimulating environment in order
to provide high quality child care and to maximize development
and preparation of children for school. With over
7,500&nbsp;employees, the quality, skills, and motivation of our
center staff is of paramount importance. We place a great deal
of emphasis on the recruitment, selection and ongoing training
of our child care center directors and area managers.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We seek to improve both the revenue and profit
performance of our existing centers by placing strong emphasis
on actions to increase enrollment and to manage costs. This is
particularly important given the fixed-cost and labor-intensive
nature of our business and its sensitivity to overall economic
conditions. Our current initiatives include development of
appropriate marketing programs, cost (particularly labor cost)
management tools, high-quality training for pivotal operating
roles (e.g.,&nbsp;center directors and area managers), and
multi-unit business management techniques. We also maintain an
incentive plan that ties center director and area manager
compensation directly to center performance.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We will continue to seek opportunities to drive
profitable growth, and we continue to see attractive growth
opportunities in the development of new centers in our core
domestic corporate and franchise markets. In addition, we
continue to receive strong interest from qualified parties in
potentially attractive international markets. Going forward, we
will consider acquisitions where there is a strong fit with our
existing operations, where we have confidence in our ability to
effectively manage the integration, and where the price can be
justified based on conservative expectations of future returns.

<B><FONT size="2">Questions and Answers about the Rights
Offering</FONT></B>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">What is a rights offering?</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">This rights offering is an opportunity for you to
purchase Units consisting of subordinated debt and common stock
at a fixed price and in an amount approximately proportional to
your existing ownership interest in our Company.
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">What is a subscription right?</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We are distributing to you, at no charge, one
subscription right for every 54&nbsp;shares of common stock that
you owned
on &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;,
2003, either as a holder of record or, in the case of shares
held of record by brokers, banks or other nominees, on your
behalf, as a beneficial owner of such shares. We will not
distribute any fractional subscription rights but will round the
number of subscription rights you receive down to the nearest
whole number. Each subscription right entitles you to purchase
one Unit consisting of (1)&nbsp;$35 principal amount of
15%&nbsp;subordinated notes due 2008 and
(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares
of common stock pursuant to the basic subscription privilege and
potentially one additional Unit pursuant to the
over-subscription privilege. To &#147;exercise&#148; a
subscription right means that you choose to purchase one or both
of the Units that the subscription right may entitle you to
purchase. You may exercise any whole number of your subscription
rights, or you may choose not to exercise any subscription
rights. You cannot give or sell your subscription rights to
anyone else&nbsp;&#151; only you can exercise them. See
&#147;The Rights Offering&nbsp;&#151; The Subscription
Rights.&#148;
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">What is the basic subscription
privilege?</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The basic subscription privilege of each
subscription right entitles you to purchase, for every
54&nbsp;shares of common stock you owned
on &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;,
2003, one Unit upon payment of $<B>[158.75]</B> per Unit. See
&#147;The Rights Offering&nbsp;&#151; Basic Subscription
Privilege.&#148;
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">What is the over-subscription
privilege?</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The over-subscription privilege gives you the
right to purchase additional Units in the event that our other
shareholders do not exercise all of their basic subscription
privileges. We offer this privilege because there is a
possibility that less than all of our shareholders will exercise
all of their subscription rights. The over-subscription
privilege of your subscription rights entitles you to subscribe
for additional Units at a subscription price of
$<B>[158.75]</B>&nbsp;per Unit, not to exceed the number of
Units available for you to purchase under the basic subscription
privilege of your subscription rights, subject to proration, as
discussed below. Your over-subscription privilege, however, will
only be available to you if (1)&nbsp;our other shareholders do
not fully exercise their basic subscription privileges and
(2)&nbsp;you fully exercise your rights pursuant to your basic
subscription privilege. Although you are guaranteed the right,
pursuant to your basic subscription privilege, to purchase that
number of Units equal to the number of rights you receive in the
offering, you may not be able to purchase any of the Units that
you seek to purchase pursuant to your over-subscription
privilege. The actual number of Units available for purchase
pursuant to your over-subscription privilege will depend upon
whether you fully exercise your basic subscription privilege and
the number of Units purchased by our other shareholders pursuant
to their basic subscription privileges, but in no event will
that number exceed the number of Units available for purchase
under your basic subscription privilege. See &#147;The Rights
Offering&nbsp;&#151; Over-Subscription Privilege.&#148;
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">What are the limitations on the
over-subscription privilege?</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">If sufficient Units are available, we will honor
all shareholders&#146; over-subscription requests in full, up to
the number of Units available under their respective basic
subscription privileges, so long as such shareholders have fully
exercised their basic subscription privileges. If
shareholders&#146; over-subscription requests exceed the number
of Units available, we will allocate the available Units among
shareholders on a pro-rata basis (subject to elimination of
fractional Units), based on the ratio that the number of
available Units bears to the total number of Units that are the
subject of over-subscription requests. See &#147;The Rights
Offering&nbsp;&#151;

<FONT size="2">Over-Subscription Privilege.&#148; In addition to
any exercise of their basic subscription and over-subscription
privileges as shareholders, members of the JP Acquisition Fund

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Why are we engaging in a rights
offering?</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We are making this rights offering to refinance
$14,000,000 in principal amount of subordinated debt, plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, that we incurred in July
2002 to finance the acquisition of substantially all of the
assets of Tutor Time Learning Systems,&nbsp;Inc. and related
working capital needs. See &#147;Recent Developments&nbsp;&#151;
Tutor Time Acquisition&nbsp;&#151; Financing Terms.&#148;
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">How much money will we receive from the rights
offering?</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We will receive gross proceeds of
<B>$[15,875,000]</B>, of which $<B>[12,375,000]</B> will
constitute new equity and $3,500,000 will constitute new
subordinated debt. We are offering Units in the rights offering
with no minimum purchase requirement. However, the
JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group has agreed to purchase all of the
Units that are not subscribed for in the rights offering by our
shareholders, subject to the limitations described below.
Accordingly, even if members of the JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund
Group are the only shareholders who participate in the rights
offering, we would receive gross proceeds of at least
<B>$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</B>.
Any purchase of Units by members of the JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund
Group (as subscribing shareholders under this rights offering or
pursuant to their standby purchase commitment) may, in lieu of
cash, be effectuated by their delivery, for cancellation, of the
appropriate amount of principal of, and accrued and unpaid
interest on, subordinated debt previously issued to members of
the JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group by one of our subsidiaries,
Childtime Childcare,&nbsp;Inc. Therefore, such subordinated debt
may constitute a portion of the gross proceeds received from the
rights offering. See &#147;The Rights Offering&nbsp;&#151;
Purchase Commitment of the JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group.&#148;
Because substantially all of such gross proceeds will be used to
replace the subordinated debt we incurred in connection with the
Tutor Time acquisition, substantially all of the proceeds of the
rights offering will not be available for other working capital
needs or for new ventures.
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">What is the role of the JP&nbsp;Acquisition
Fund Group in this offering?</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group has agreed, as
standby purchasers, to purchase 100% of the Units that are not
subscribed for in the rights offering by our shareholders at
$<B>[158.75]</B> per Unit on a standby purchase commitment
basis; provided, however, that the standby purchase commitment
of the JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group is limited to the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of, and accrued and
unpaid interest on, the subordinated debt previously issued to
members of the JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group by Childtime
Childcare, Inc., calculated as of the date which is one business
day following the closing date of this rights offering, less the
amount of any such principal and interest used by members of the
JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group to pay for Units purchased
through exercise of their subscription rights as shareholders.
Thus, the maximum total standby purchase commitment of the
JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group will be
$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.
We refer to the commitment of the JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group
to purchase Units as described in this prospectus as the
&#147;Standby Purchase Commitment.&#148; For a more complete
description of the role of the JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group in
this offering, see &#147;The Rights Offering&nbsp;&#151;

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On February&nbsp;20, 2003, we entered into a
Standby Securities Purchase Agreement with the
JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group, which provides further detail
regarding the Standby Purchase Commitment. Under the terms of
the agreement, we agreed to indemnify the JP&nbsp;Acquisition
Fund Group against claims and liabilities arising out of or

</TABLE>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The child care and preschool education industry
is highly fragmented and competitive and has historically been
dominated by small, local nursery schools and child care
centers. Our competition consists principally of local nursery
schools and child care centers (some of which are non-profit,
including church-affiliated centers), providers of services that
operate out of homes and other proprietary multi-unit child care
center providers, some of which are larger and may have
substantially greater financial resources than us.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Among the larger providers of for-profit child
care and preschool education are KinderCare Learning Centers,
Inc., La Petite Academy, Inc., Aramark/ Children&#146;s World,
Children&#146;s Discovery Centers/ Knowledge Beginnings, and
Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Inc. Many of the national
for-profit child care providers have recently struggled, as
evidenced by Tutor Time Learning Systems, Inc. filing for
bankruptcy in 2002 and La Petite Academy, Inc. reporting that it
has not been in compliance with its credit agreements for the
past two quarters and does not expect to be in compliance during
its upcoming quarter.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In competing against local nursery schools, child
care centers and in-home providers, we are often at a price
disadvantage, because these providers generally charge less for
their services than we charge. Many church-affiliated and other
non-profit child care centers have lower rental costs, if any,
than us and may receive donations or other funding to cover
operating expenses. Consequently, operators of such centers
often charge tuition rates that are less than our rates. In
addition, fees for home-based care are normally lower than fees
for center-based care because providers of home care are not
always required to satisfy the same health, safety, insurance or
operational regulations as our centers. We compete by hiring and
training quality center directors and by offering
professionally-planned educational and recreational programs,
modern, well-equipped facilities, and trained staff and
supervisory personnel. In addition, we provide a range of
services, including infant and toddler care, drop in service,
and the transportation between our child care centers and
schools of older children enrolled in our before and
after-school program. In some markets we face competition with
respect to preschool services and before and after-school
programs from public schools that offer such services at little
or no cost to parents. The number of school districts offering
these services is growing, and we expect this form of
competition to increase in the future.

<FONT size="2">among other things, the adequacy of buildings and
equipment, licensed capacity, the ratio of staff to children,
staff training, record keeping, the dietary program, the daily
curriculum and health and safety standards. In most
jurisdictions, these agencies conduct scheduled and unscheduled
inspections of centers, and licenses must be renewed
periodically. In a few jurisdictions, new legislation or
regulations have been enacted or are being considered which
establish requirements for employee background checks or other
clearance procedures for new employees of child care centers.
Furthermore, current regulations and requirements may be changed
at any time, resulting in the imposition of additional
restrictions on our activities. Certain changes, such as
increasing the ratio of staff to enrolled children, could result
in significantly increased operating costs. Repeated failures by
a center to comply with applicable regulations can subject it to
state sanctions, which might include fines, corrective orders,
being placed on probation or, in more serious cases, suspension
or revocation of the center&#146;s license to operate. Repeated
failures to comply with such regulations by one or more of our
centers could also lead to sanctions against our other centers
located in the same state. This type of action could generate
negative publicity extending beyond the sanctioning state.
Although we believe that we are in substantial compliance with
laws and regulations currently in effect, failure to comply with
such laws or regulations or changes in such laws or regulations
could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Since early 1998, union organization efforts in
the child care industry have received considerable publicity.
While union officials associated with the American Federation of
State, County and Municipal Employees and Service Employees
International have announced their intention to engage in a
national effort to organize child care workers, organization
efforts to date have been principally localized in Philadelphia
and Seattle. The Teamsters union conducted an organizing drive
at one of our centers located in Lansing, Michigan, but their
representation was rejected by the center&#146;s employees in an
election held in early 2002. Although we are not aware of any
other organization efforts at any of our centers, such efforts
may occur and, if successful, could have an adverse effect on
our relationships with employees and labor costs. In addition,
the general publicity surrounding such efforts, even if not
focused on our centers, could result in increased wages for
child care workers and, as a result, increase our labor costs.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">For the fiscal year ended March&nbsp;29, 2002,
approximately 22% (before giving effect to the Tutor Time
acquisition) of our revenues were generated from federal and
state child care assistance programs, primarily the Child Care
and Development Block Grant and At-Risk Programs. These programs
are typically designed to assist low-income families with child
care expenses and are administered through various state
agencies. Although no federal license is required at this time,
there are minimum standards which must be met to qualify for
participation in certain federal programs. Certain states have
reduced available funds by limiting eligibility and reducing or
delaying payments in certain circumstances. A number of states
are currently experiencing significant budget deficits, which
may further impact funding for child care assistance programs.
There is no assurance that funding for such federal and state
programs will continue at current levels, and a significant
reduction in such funding may have an adverse impact on us. If
we fail to satisfy the requirements for participation in such a
program or if one or more of our centers fails to adhere to
applicable program standards, we may be forced to return
revenues received from such program and/or may be barred from
further participation in the program. In addition, we may be
subject to fines or other penalties.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Publicly-funded preschool, or &#147;universal
pre-K,&#148; programs are in operation in a few states,
including Georgia, New York, Oklahoma, Louisiana and the
District of Columbia, and similar initiatives have recently
passed, but are not yet effective, in Los Angeles County
(California), West Virginia and Florida. Several other states,
including California, Illinois, Texas, Ohio, South Carolina and
Nevada, are currently considering similar legislation. These
programs vary widely in terms of how they are conceived,
structured and administered, but all share the common goal of
making child care affordable and accessible to all families and
encouraging school readiness for 3 and/or 4-year-olds. In most
cases, individual child care providers have the option to
participate in the program and receive tuition reimbursement
directly from state agencies. The state agencies, in turn, set
detailed guidelines for the program and effectively mandate
center cost structures (e.g., labor rates, supply requirements
and food) In most states, reimbursement levels are linked to
staff qualifications such as CDA (Child Development Associate)
certification or certain levels of higher education. National or
state accreditation of the center may also be a requirement.
Although universal pre-K programs typically provide all children
with access to child care regardless of income, these programs
should not be confused with other government grant or child care
subsidy funding.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">To date, our experience with universal pre-K
programs has been mixed, depending largely on how the programs
are structured. Some of the programs do not provide for regular
rate increases to compensate for cost increases we may
experience. As a result, we could experience a decline in
margins and profitability for centers that participate in the
programs.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We anticipate that passage of universal pre-K
programs will continue to be a major priority with many state
legislatures. In the immediate future, however, states
experiencing fiscal crises may delay enactment or implementation
of such programs due to their high cost. In states where
universal pre-K legislation has been passed or the momentum to
adopt such legislation is strong, we are actively involved in
shaping and informing the debate with our own government
relations efforts and through our leadership in the National
Child Care Association. The enactment of universal pre-K
programs by additional states could decrease our revenues,
increase our costs of operations and have a material, negative
impact on our operations in those states.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">&#147;Living wage&#148; laws are another priority
legislative initiative for many state and local governments.
These laws set minimum wage rates above the federal minimum
wage, adjusted to local cost of living conditions. Currently
such laws exist or have recently passed at the state, county or
local level in New York, California, Oregon, Washington and
North Carolina. In many cases, the laws only cover certain job
classifications (e.g., home health care workers in New York
City) and are only applicable to companies doing business with
or receiving benefits from state or local governments and
agencies. Recently, there has been an effort in a number of
jurisdictions to extend these benefits to child care workers,
primarily in New York and California. To date, Suffolk County,
New York, is the only jurisdiction in which we do business to
have passed a living wage law which applies to child care
workers. The enactment of this law is currently undergoing a
feasibility study and has not yet impacted our business.
However, living wage laws, if enacted in jurisdictions where we
do business, could increase our costs of operations and have a
material, negative impact on our operations in those areas. We
are working to mitigate any potential impact through our
government relations efforts and by developing plans at the
center level to alter our cost and/or revenue structures. We
expect to see further passage of such laws, especially in
jurisdictions with high costs of living, given the current
economic environment.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We believe our success in the child care
industry, where personal trust and parent referrals play key
roles, is directly related to our reputation and favorable brand
identities. Like many of our competitors, however, we are
periodically subject to claims and litigation alleging
negligence, inadequate supervision and other grounds for
liability arising from injuries or other harm to children. In
addition, claimants may seek damages from us for child abuse,
sexual abuse or other criminal acts arising out of alleged
incidents at our centers. Any adverse publicity concerning such
incidents at one of our child care centers, or child care
centers generally, could greatly damage our reputation and could
have an adverse effect on occupancy levels at our centers. Many
operators of child care centers have had difficulty obtaining
general liability insurance or other liability insurance that
covers child abuse, or have been able to obtain such insurance
only at substantially higher rates, because of the adverse
publicity risks discussed above and because the statutes of
limitations for child abuse and personal injury claims typically
do not expire until a number of years after the child reaches
the age of majority. To date, we have been able to obtain
insurance at a reasonable cost. However, insurance premiums are
projected to increase as a consequence of conditions in the
insurance business generally, and we may not be able to obtain
similar coverage at a reasonable price in the future. Changes in
our situation in particular, and continuing publicity with

Although our revenues from Tutor Time franchise operations will

not directly dependent on the franchisees&#146; profitability.
We believe, however, that the profitability of existing

open new franchised child care centers. Therefore, factors that
adversely affect the revenues and profitability of our
franchisees may have an adverse effect on our operating results.

<FONT size="2">There can be no assurance that our franchisees
will operate their centers successfully. While no individual
franchisee represents more than 12% of our franchise revenues, a
significant failure of our franchisees to operate successfully
could adversely affect our operating results. The resolution of
certain franchisee financial difficulties may cause us to incur
additional costs, due to uncollectible accounts receivable
related to franchise and license fees, and/or potential claims
by franchisees and could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations. We are also primarily or contingently
liable for a substantial number of franchise leases. As a
result, should the franchisee be unable to make the required
payments under the leases, we would be obligated to make these
payments. The aggregate liability for such leases is

subject to risks and uncertainties, including those discussed
under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; and elsewhere in this

and unusual charges, pricing, competition, insurability, demand
for child care and general economic conditions.

<P align="center">
<B><FONT size="2">THE RIGHTS OFFERING</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<B><FONT size="2">Before exercising any subscription rights, you
should read carefully the information set forth under &#147;Risk
Factors&#148; beginning on page&nbsp;8 of this
prospectus.</FONT></B>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">The Subscription Rights</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We are granting each person who was a record
holder of our common stock at the close of business on the
Record Date one subscription right for every 54&nbsp;shares of
common stock held at that date either as a holder of record or,
in the case of shares held of record by brokers, banks or other
nominees, on your behalf, as a beneficial owner of such shares.
To exercise your subscription rights, you must deliver one
subscription right for each Unit for which you subscribe
pursuant to your basic subscription privilege. There is no
minimum amount of Units you must purchase, but you may not
purchase fractional Units. When determining the number of
subscription rights you will receive, divide the number of
shares of our common stock you own by 54 and round down to the
next whole number. For example, if you own 200 shares of common
stock, you will receive three subscription rights
(200&nbsp;shares divided by 54&nbsp;=&nbsp;3.7, rounded down to
3&nbsp;subscription rights, the next lowest whole number) which
will entitle you to subscribe for up to three Units under your
subscription right. Each right will entitle you to purchase one
Unit at a purchase price of $<B>[158.75]</B> per Unit. This is
your basic subscription privilege. If other shareholders do not
fully exercise their subscription rights, you may also have the
opportunity to purchase additional Units, subject to certain
limitations, at the same purchase price.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Each subscription right entitles you to purchase
one Unit consisting of (i)&nbsp;$35 principal amount of 15%
subordinated notes due 2008 and
(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares
of our common stock pursuant to the basic subscription privilege
and potentially an additional Unit pursuant to the
over-subscription privilege. If you wish to exercise your
subscription rights, you must do so before 5:00&nbsp;p.m., New
York City time,
on &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;,
2003. After that date, the subscription rights will expire and
will no longer be exercisable.

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Subscription Price</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The subscription price for this rights offering
is $<B>[158.75]</B> per Unit payable in cash or, with respect to
the members of the JP Acquisition Fund Group, payable by
delivery, for cancellation, of the appropriate amount of
principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, subordinated
debt issued to the JP Acquisition Fund Group by Childtime
Childcare, Inc. All cash payments must be cleared on or before
the expiration date of this rights offering.
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Basic Subscription Privilege</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Each subscription right entitles you to purchase
one Unit upon payment of $<B>[158.75]</B> per Unit. You will
receive a debt instrument representing the Subordinated Notes
and a certificate representing the shares of common stock that
you purchase pursuant to your basic subscription privilege as
soon as practicable
after &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;,

prior to that date or earlier.

<B><FONT size="2">Over-Subscription Privilege</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Subject to the allocation rules described below,
the subscription rights also grant each shareholder an
over-subscription privilege to purchase additional Units in an
amount not to exceed the number of Units available for purchase
by such shareholder under its basic subscription privilege, to
the extent available and subject to proration, that are not
purchased by other shareholders pursuant to their basic
subscription privileges. Shareholders who desire to exercise
their over-subscription privileges must fully exercise their
rights pursuant to their basic subscription privileges. If you
wish to exercise your over-subscription privilege, you should
indicate the number of additional Units that you would like to
purchase in the space provided on your subscription certificate
(not to exceed the number of Units you may purchase under your
basic subscription privilege). When you send in your rights
subscription certificate, you must also send the full purchase
price for the number of additional Units that you have requested
to purchase (in addition to the payment due for Units purchased
through your basic subscription privilege).

<FONT size="2">If the number of Units remaining after the
exercise of all basic subscription privileges is not sufficient
to satisfy all over-subscription requests, such Units will be
allocated among over-subscription requests on a pro-rata basis
(subject to elimination of fractional Units), based on the ratio
that the number of available Units bears to the total number of
Units that are the subject of over-subscription requests.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<B><FONT size="2">As a result of this allocation procedure, you
should exercise your basic subscription and over-subscription
privileges in full if you wish to minimize dilution of your
percentage ownership of our common stock and/or maximize the
number of Units that you will receive in this rights
offering.</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As soon as practicable
after &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;,
2003, Computershare Trust Company of New York, acting as our
&#147;Subscription Agent&#148;, will determine the number of
Units that you may purchase pursuant to the over-subscription
privilege. You will receive a note representing the Subordinated
Notes and a certificate representing the shares of common stock
you have purchased as part of the Units, as soon as practicable
thereafter. Subject to state securities laws and regulations, we
have the discretion to delay allocation and distribution of any
and all Units to shareholders who are affected by such
regulations and elect to participate in the rights offering,
including Units that we issue with respect to your basic or
over-subscription privilege, in order to comply with state
securities laws. If you request and pay for more Units than are
allocated to you, that overpayment will be held by the
Subscription Agent pending the completion of this rights
offering and will be refunded to you, without interest, promptly
thereafter.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In connection with the exercise of the
over-subscription privilege, banks, brokers and other nominee
holders of subscription rights who act on behalf of beneficial
owners will be required to certify to the Subscription Agent and
to us as to the aggregate number of subscription rights that
have been exercised, and the number of Units that are being
requested through the over-subscription privilege, by each
beneficial owner on whose behalf such nominee holder is acting.

standby purchasers, to purchase for a purchase price of
$<B>[158.75]</B>&nbsp;per Unit any and all Units not subscribed

Purchase Commitment of the JP Acquisition Fund Group is limited
to the Standby Commitment Limit. The purchase of Units by the
JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group, whether through the exercise of
their basic subscription or over-subscription privileges or the
fulfillment of their Standby Purchase Commitment, may, in lieu
of cash, be effectuated by their delivery, for cancellation, of
the appropriate amount of principal of, and accrued and unpaid

<FONT size="2">On February&nbsp;20, 2003, we entered into a
Standby Securities Purchase Agreement with the JP Acquisition
Fund Group which provides further detail regarding the Standby
Purchase Commitment. Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed
to indemnify the JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group against claims
and liabilities arising out of or based upon material
misstatements or omissions made in this prospectus and the
registration statement of which it forms a part.

<FONT size="2">As of the date of this prospectus, the
JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group is the beneficial owner of at
least 3,975,527 shares of our common stock. In addition, three
of the members of the JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group, Benjamin
Jacobson, George Kellner and James Morgan, are members of our
Board of Directors. A recently retired director, Milton Dresner,
is a minority investor in JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund&nbsp;II, L.P.
and JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund&nbsp;III, L.P. but disclaims
beneficial ownership in the securities held by such funds. We
have been advised that the members of the JP&nbsp;Acquisition
Fund Group intend to exercise the basic subscription and
over-subscription privileges of the subscription rights some of
them will receive as shareholders. However, with respect to
2,865,000 of the shares beneficially owned by the
JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group, which are owned of record by
Childcare Associates and KD&nbsp;Partners&nbsp;II, entities
controlled by George Kellner, Mr.&nbsp;Kellner has advised us
that he will not exercise any subscription rights on behalf of
such entities but that the investors in such entities will have
the right to decide whether or not to subscribe for Units for
their pro&nbsp;rata share of the holdings of such entities.

that it intends to retain any Units purchased in this offering
or pursuant to the Standby Purchase Commitment for investment
purposes. See &#147;Plan of Distribution,&#148; at page&nbsp;76.
The rate of return that the JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group will
receive from its investment in our common stock will fluctuate
based upon the market price of our common stock.
On &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;,

PRICE</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Our Board of Directors set all of the terms and
conditions of this rights offering, including the
$<B>[158.75]</B> per Unit subscription price and the portion of
such price allocable to the common stock portion of each Unit
($<B>[123.75]</B>), after negotiations with Jacobson Partners as
part of the overall negotiation of the terms of the Standby
Purchase Commitment made by the JP Acquisition Fund Group. In
establishing the terms and conditions of the rights offering,
our Board of Directors considered the written opinion dated
January&nbsp;17, 2003, of Raymond James &#38; Associates, Inc.,
independent investment advisor to the Board of Directors, which
opinion is attached to this prospectus as Appendix&nbsp;A, to
the effect that, as of the date of its opinion and based upon
and subject to the matters stated in the full text of such
opinion, the terms of the rights offering are fair, from a
financial point of view, to our existing public shareholders.
Raymond James &#38; Associates, Inc. makes no recommendation to
you about whether you should exercise any of your subscription
rights. The Board of Directors also considered the following
factors in establishing the subscription price: the strategic
alternatives available to us for raising capital, the recent
trading price history of our common stock, our business
prospects and general conditions in the securities markets. In
particular, the portion of the per Unit subscription price
allocable to the common stock portion of the Units was based on
the volume-weighted average price of our common stock for the
28&nbsp;calendar day period immediately preceding the date of
this prospectus (the &#147;Four-Week Average&#148;); provided,
however, if the volume-weighted average price of our common
stock for the 7&nbsp;calendar day period immediately preceding
the date of this prospectus (the &#147;One-Week Average&#148;)
was more than 10% less than the Four-Week Average, the per Unit
subscription price allocable to the common stock portion of the
Units was determined to be 110% of the One-Week Average. The
$<B>[158.75]</B> subscription price, however, does not
necessarily bear any relationship to our past or expected future
results of operations, cash flows, current financial condition,
or any other established criteria for value.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">You should not consider the $<B>[158.75]</B> per
Unit subscription price as an indication of the value of the
Company or our common stock. We cannot assure you that you will
be able to sell shares purchased during this offering at a price
equal to or greater than the
$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per
share reflected in the portion of the subscription price
applicable to the common stock portion of the Units.
On &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;,
2003, the last reported sale price of our common stock was
$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per
share.

achieved this growth through a combination of acquisitions
(including the acquisition of Tutor Time centers in July 2002),
prototype build-to-suit centers, and new leases. Fiscal 2002
growth consisted of three new build-to-suit leased centers and
one management contract. During fiscal 2002, we closed 22 under
performing centers, 18 of which had been identified in our
restructuring plan at the prior fiscal year ended March&nbsp;30,

<FONT size="2">Childtime prepares its financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. In preparing these statements management makes
certain estimates, judgments and assumptions, which affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, as well as the amounts of revenue and
expenses for each period presented. The application of the
Company&#146;s accounting policies, in certain instances,
requires the exercise of judgment and assumptions that pertain
to future uncertainties and as a result, actual future results
could differ from management&#146;s estimates. The accounting
policies management believes are critical in the preparation of
the Company&#146;s financial statements relate to revenue
recognition, accounts receivable, impairment of long-lived
assets, liability for workers&#146; compensation insurance
obligations, and income taxes.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<I><FONT size="2">Revenue Recognition.</FONT></I><FONT size="2">
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin&nbsp;101, which requires that the following
criteria be met before recognizing revenue: persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have
been rendered, the fee is fixed and determinable, and
collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company&#146;s
revenues consist primarily of tuition paid by parents,
supplemented in some cases by payments (either partial or in
total) from government agencies. Each agency has its own set of
guidelines in administering subsidies and management must
constantly monitor affected centers to ensure compliance.
Revenues also include, to a lesser degree, management fees paid
by corporate sponsors. Revenue is recognized as services are
performed. In some centers, the Company receives revenue in
advance of services being rendered, in which case, revenue is
deferred until the services have been provided. Franchise fees
are recognized as revenue at the time the franchise center
receives a certificate of occupancy. Royalty income related to
franchise operations is recognized as revenue is earned by
franchisees.

<I><FONT size="2">Accounts Receivable.</FONT></I><FONT size="2">
The Company generates accounts receivable primarily from fees
charged to governmental agencies, and to a lesser degree
parents. The Company monitors collections and payments from
these customers and maintains a provision for estimated losses
based on historical trends and current overall economic
conditions. Amounts charged to this provision for uncollectible
accounts receivable have historically been within the
Company&#146;s expectations, but there can be no assurance that
future experience will be consistent with the Company&#146;s
past experience.

Insurance Obligations.</FONT></I><FONT size="2"> The Company
self-insures a significant portion of its workers compensation
insurance plans. The full extent of certain liabilities, in many
cases, may not become fully recognized for several years. The
Company, therefore, estimates the potential obligation for
liabilities which have been incurred but not yet reported based
upon historical data and experience, and utilizes an outside
consulting firm to assist the Company in developing these
estimates. Although management believes that the amounts accrued
for these obligations are sufficient, any significant increase
in either the number of claims and/or costs associated with
claims made under these plans could have a material adverse
effect on the Company&#146;s financial results.

<I><FONT size="2">Income Taxes.</FONT></I><FONT size="2">
Accounting for income taxes requires management to estimate its
income taxes in each jurisdiction in which it operates. Due to
differences in the timing of the recognition of items included
in income for financial accounting and tax purposes, temporary
differences arise which are recorded as deferred tax assets or
liabilities. The likelihood of recovery of these assets is
dependent on the Company&#146;s ability to implement its tax
planning strategy, which includes the sale and closure of
certain centers. Should any amounts be determined not to be
recoverable, or assumptions change, the Company would be
required to take a charge, which could have a material effect on
the Company&#146;s financial results. Additionally, there are
capital loss carryforwards that must be offset by capital gains
in future years. The Company anticipates capital gains
sufficient to cover the capital loss carryforwards in future
years.

cash flow generated from operations and borrowings available

<FONT size="2">The Company maintains a $17.5&nbsp;million
secured revolving line of credit facility entered into on
January&nbsp;31, 2002, as amended (see Note&nbsp;7 of the
Company&#146;s Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements&nbsp;&#151; unaudited). Outstanding letters of credit
reduced the availability under the line of credit in the amount
of $2.6&nbsp;million at January&nbsp;3, 2003 and
$1.8&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;29, 2002. Under this agreement,
the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios and
other financial conditions. In addition, there are restrictions
on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, disposition of
assets and transactions with affiliates. At July&nbsp;19, 2002
and at October&nbsp;11, 2002, the Company had not maintained
minimum consolidated EBITDA levels and had not provided timely
reporting as required by the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement. The Company&#146;s lender approved waivers to the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for financial results for
the quarter ended October&nbsp;11, 2002. The Company&#146;s
noncompliance with the required consolidated EBITDA levels
continued as of January&nbsp;3, 2003. In February 2003, the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was further amended, among
other things, to revise the financial covenants for the quarters
ended January&nbsp;3 and March&nbsp;28, 2003 and to shorten the
maturity of the line of credit to July&nbsp;31, 2003. The
Company is in compliance with the agreement, as amended.

$25.0&nbsp;million and consisted primarily of net borrowings on
the revolving line of credit of $10.1&nbsp;million, the issuance
of long-term debt of $14.0&nbsp;million, and a $1.3&nbsp;million

$21.6&nbsp;million was associated with the purchase of Tutor

and franchised child care centers operating in 23&nbsp;states
and internationally, and were purchased to improve the range of
the Company&#146;s product offering and to enter the child care
franchise business. The Tutor Time acquisition was financed, in
part, through the Company&#146;s $17.5&nbsp;million secured bank
credit facility as well as the issuance of $14&nbsp;million of
subordinated loans (the &#147;Existing Subordinated
Notes&#148;). The Existing Subordinated Notes were issued to the
JP&nbsp;Acquisition Fund Group to fund the balance of the Tutor
Time acquisition purchase price and to provide related working
capital. The Existing Subordinated Notes mature

payable in cash, with the balance payable in kind by the
issuance of additional subordinated notes (the &#147;Additional
Subordinated Notes&#148;), with interest and principal payable
on the earlier of December&nbsp;31, 2004 or such date on which
the Company has consummated the rights offering and received net
cash proceeds (and/or cancelled Existing Subordinated Notes) of
at least $7.5&nbsp;million from the issuance of common stock in
this rights offering (the &#147;Minimum Equity Amount&#148;). If
this rights offering is not consummated, and the Minimum Equity
Amount is not received, on or before July&nbsp;19, 2003, then
until the earlier of December&nbsp;31, 2004 or the date on which
the Company consummates this rights offering and receives the
Minimum Equity Amount, all interest on the Existing Subordinated
Notes will be payable by the issuance of Additional Subordinated
Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, due to certain
restrictions under the Company&#146;s senior credit facility,
the Company has been prevented, and shall continue to be
prevented, from paying cash interest on the Existing
Subordinated Notes until the earlier of December&nbsp;31, 2004
or the date that this rights offering is consummated; provided
that cash interest on the Existing Subordinated Notes (including
the Additional Subordinated Notes and interest thereon) may only
be paid prior to December&nbsp;31, 2004 to the extent that the
aggregate proceeds of this rights offering (including
surrendered principal and interest on the Existing Subordinated
Notes) exceed $14&nbsp;million. All past due installments of
cash interest on the Existing Subordinated Notes accrue interest
at a default annual rate of 18%. The Existing Subordinated Notes
are to be refinanced through this rights offering.

<FONT size="2">During third quarter 2003, the Company entered
into an interest rate swap contract to manage its exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates relating to the revolving line of
credit. Swap contracts fix the interest payments of floating
rate debt instruments. As of January&nbsp;3, 2003, a contract
representing $3.0 million of notional amount was outstanding
with a maturity date of November, 2005. This contract provides
for the Company to pay interest at a fixed rate of 3.02% in
return for receiving interest at a floating rate of 3&nbsp;month
LIBOR, which is reset in three month intervals. The fair value
of interest rate swap agreements is subject to changes in value
due to changes in interest rates. During the 40&nbsp;weeks ended
January&nbsp;3, 2003, the Company recognized a loss of $46,000
as a result of a decline in the market value of the outstanding
interest rate contract.

<FONT size="2">The Company continues steps to improve the
profitability of its operations through pricing, more effective
labor management and expense control and efforts aimed at
boosting enrollment. These measures resulted in improvements in
operating results for the third quarter and have resulted in
additional improvements in operating results in the first period
of the fourth quarter.

<FONT size="2">During fiscal 2002, the Company decided not to
pursue opening three new build-to-suit centers after leases for
these centers had been signed with the developer of the centers.
The Company was subsequently sued by the developer for breach of
contract. This case was settled at the end of fiscal 2002, and a
current liability was recorded on the balance sheet as of
March&nbsp;29, 2002 in the amount of $0.8&nbsp;million, which
was paid during first quarter 2003.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company is primarily liable on approximately
$1.0&nbsp;million for lease assignments already negotiated in
connection with certain lease terminations resulting from the
fiscal 2001 restructuring program (see Note&nbsp;12 of the
Company&#146;s Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements&nbsp;&#151; unaudited). A subsidiary of the Company
is primarily or contingently liable for many of the leases of
Tutor Time&#146;s franchisees. In an effort to build its
franchisee network, Tutor Time either leased the prospective
site for a franchisee, with a subsequent sublease of the site to
the franchisee, or provided a lease guarantee to the landlord
for the benefit of the franchisee in exchange for a monthly
lease guarantee fee payable by the franchisee that is based upon
the monthly rent expense of the guaranteed lease. The payments
the Company could be required to pay related to leases and
guarantees aggregates $99.0&nbsp;million and $15.7&nbsp;million,
respectively, in case of default by the franchisee. Should the
Company be required to make payments under these leases, it may
assume obligations for operating the center. Should the center
not be economically viable, the Company will make provision for
the lease termination at that time. The Company has taken over
operations for a center previously operated by a franchisee as a
result of a default under the franchisee&#146;s lease and
intends to continue to operate this center.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Childtime and Tutor Time brands operate in
largely distinct market segments. Tutor Time attracts a more
affluent customer base with higher average incomes than the
typical Childtime center. Childtime centers are, on average,
smaller, less standardized in construction and appeal to parents
who value a &#147;homey&#148; feel and more intimate experience
for their child. Tutor Time centers are larger, more
standardized in layout, and designed to appeal to parents who
value a more structured educational and developmental
experience. Both brands place emphasis on educational quality
and content, with the Company&#146;s Curriculum Department
developing proprietary content distinct to each brand. Because
Tutor Time centers are typically larger than Childtime centers,
they generally deliver the potential for higher economic returns
per center. However, Tutor Time centers also require higher
investment and are typically fitted with more expensive
equipment and supplies (e.g., telephones, intercoms and security
cameras in each room and children&#146;s computers).
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Childtime and Tutor Time corporate centers are
located in the United States (in 27 states), with the exception
of one Tutor Time center located in Canada. The vast majority of
these centers are operated on leased premises, with typical
lease terms ranging from 1 to 25&nbsp;years; 51 of the Childtime
centers are operated on Company-owned premises.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The 12 Childtime centers the Company operates
under management contracts are all located in the U.S., serving
hospitals, corporations and the federal government. Under these
contracts, the Company receives an annual operating fee and, in
some cases, is eligible to receive incentives for improving
revenues and/or managing costs. These contracts are typically up
for renewal on an annual basis.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Tutor Time franchise centers are also
predominantly located in the U.S., with 120&nbsp;centers
operating in 17&nbsp;states. An additional 11&nbsp;centers are
operated in Canada, Hong&nbsp;Kong, Indonesia, and the
Philippines, for the most part under master franchise
agreements. The Company currently guarantees leases for 66 of
its franchise centers, including sites under development. The
Company believes that Tutor Time is currently one of the largest
franchisors of child care services based in the United States.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In addition to its existing centers, the Company
had 23 Tutor Time centers under development as of
January&nbsp;3, 2003, of which six are to be Company-operated
centers and 17 are to be franchise centers. The majority of
these centers are scheduled to open before June 2003, with the
rest scheduled to open before June 2004.

<FONT size="2">The Company acquired the assets of Tutor Time
Learning Systems, Inc. on July&nbsp;19, 2002, for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $22.8&nbsp;million, including
acquisition costs, plus the assumption of certain liabilities.
The Company purchased substantially all of the operating assets
and contract rights used by Tutor Time in its child care
operations and, as a result, significantly increased its revenue
base and the number of centers under its management. The
strategic rationale for the acquisition was to improve the range
of the Company&#146;s product offering and to enable the Company
to enter the child care franchise business. Specifically,
through the acquisition of Tutor Time, the Company acquired the
ability to serve a different segment of the child care market
and to broaden its prospective customer base. By catering to a
more premium-priced clientele, the Company can operate and
market its Tutor Time centers as a different and distinct brand.
Furthermore, by operating Tutor Time as a separate brand, the
Company will be able to franchise and operate this unique model,
both domestically and internationally.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company&#146;s strategy is to offer a
nationally-recognized educational curriculum, within a
stimulating environment in order to provide high quality child
care and to maximize the development and preparation of children
for school. With over 7,500 employees, the quality, skills, and
motivation of our center staff is of paramount importance. The
Company places a great deal of emphasis on the recruitment,
selection and ongoing training of its child care center
directors and area managers.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Management seeks to improve both the revenue and
profit performance of the Company&#146;s existing centers by
placing strong emphasis on actions to increase enrollment and to
manage costs. This is particularly important given the
fixed-cost and labor-intensive nature of the business and its
sensitivity to overall economic conditions. The Company&#146;s
current initiatives include development of appropriate marketing
programs, cost (particularly labor cost) management tools,
high-quality training for pivotal operating roles (e.g., center
directors and area managers), and multi-unit business management
techniques. The Company also maintains an incentive plan that
ties center director and area manager compensation directly to
center performance.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company will continue to seek opportunities
to drive profitable growth. Management continues to see
attractive growth opportunities in the development of new
centers in the Company&#146;s core domestic corporate and
franchise markets. In addition, we continue to receive strong
interest from qualified parties in potentially attractive
international markets. Going forward, we will consider
acquisitions where there is a strong fit with the Company&#146;s
existing operations, where management has confidence in the
organization&#146;s ability to effectively manage the
integration, and where the price can be justified on
conservative expectations of future returns.

<FONT size="2">The Company utilizes a 52 to 53&nbsp;week fiscal
year (generally comprised of 13&nbsp;four-week periods), ending
on the Friday closest to March&nbsp;31. The fiscal years ended
March&nbsp;29, 2002, March&nbsp;30, 2001 and March&nbsp;31, 2000
all contained 52&nbsp;weeks. The first quarter for fiscal 2002,

12&nbsp;weeks. Similarly, the first quarter of fiscal 2003
contained 16&nbsp;weeks and the second quarter of fiscal 2003
contained 12&nbsp;weeks. All significant inter-company

<FONT size="2">Excellent operational execution for corporate
centers is critical to the success of the Company. Market
research shows that parents&#146; decision to enroll their child
in a Childtime or Tutor Time center is based on a number of
factors and typically involves an intense, focused
&#147;buy&#148; decision. Parents make tradeoffs between price
and perceived value, especially value in relation to our major
national and local competitors, and a wide range of other
options that can include nannies, home care, and frequently
lower-cost locally-sponsored child care options.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Happy children, satisfied parents, and positive
word-of-mouth are the most critical tests of how well the
Company is managing the business and its ability to capture a
price premium. They are a reflection of the many factors that
determine the overall quality of the program in any given
center. Based on experience, the most important of these factors
include: the skills and (often) the longevity of center
directors and staff; the differentiation and quality of the
educational offering; the condition of facilities; and the
degree to which the Company is perceived as service-oriented and
values-driven.

the Company&#146;s current Tutor Time business and an attractive
growth option for the Company going forward. Relations with
existing Tutor Time franchisees were severely strained as a
result of Tutor Time Learning Systems, Inc.&#146;s financial
distress and the Chapter&nbsp;11 process. Repairing these
relationships and earning the trust and cooperation of the
franchisee community is a major priority for the Company&#146;s
senior management team. To do this, the Company is focused on
providing excellent support to franchisees through its franchise
district management team, with additional support from key roles
in the regional management structure, including the regional
training managers and regional marketing support. In addition,
the Education, Technology and Marketing Departments continue to
take steps to improve value delivery and support. The Franchise
Operations group is expanding its role to include business
advisory and performance benchmarking.

has focused on consolidating several &#147;back-office&#148;
functions to its Michigan headquarters. This has included the
corporate operations, finance and accounting functions, and to
some degree the technology, legal, marketing, and real estate
functions. Management has used the integration process to pick
the best of both companies in terms of technology and accounting
systems, operating policies and procedures, and management
talent. Going forward, the Company will maintain an office in
Florida focused mainly on franchise operations and education and
training. This consolidation of operations has resulted in
reduced costs while providing consistent information and

<FONT size="2">In the years prior to the acquisition of Tutor
Time, the Company had focused on expanding its Childtime brand
through a number of smaller acquisitions and build-to-suit
centers at the rate of approximately 30 to 40&nbsp;centers per
year. During fiscal 2001 and 2002, the Company shifted strategy
to focus on improving the profitability of current operations,
and significantly reduced the number of these smaller
acquisitions. As a result, the Company closed 22&nbsp;centers
during fiscal 2002 (18 of which were included in its
restructuring plan initiated at the end of fiscal 2001). Eight
additional centers were closed by January&nbsp;3, 2003, and
three Tutor Time franchise centers that had reached the end of
their contracted franchise terms were allowed to exit the system.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">With the acquisition of Tutor Time in July 2002,
the Company acquired and accepted the contracts on 58 operating
corporate centers, 124 operating franchise centers, and
additional Tutor Time centers that were at various stages of
development.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In addition to the current development pipeline,
the Company is actively researching new sites to add to the
Tutor Time portfolio. Current plans are for a mix of franchise
and corporate sites to be opened within existing franchise and
corporate geographies. The Company will prioritize adding units
in its existing markets in order to increase market
concentration and to leverage administrative and advertising
expenses. The Company continues to experience a large number of
inquiries from qualified candidates interested in franchise
opportunities, as well as ongoing demand from its existing base
of franchisees. The majority of inquiries are for U.S.-based
opportunities. The Company has also received inquiries for
international opportunities, presenting an attractive long-term
growth option for the Company.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In choosing locations for new centers, the
Company considers a number of factors, emphasizing suburban
neighborhoods with growing populations of young families.
Management looks for sites in proximity to newly developed or
developing residential areas on heavily traveled local streets.
The Company performs a detailed analysis of the demographics of
the area surrounding the proposed site and focuses on several
site selection criteria including: the percentage of children
under age six; the population density within a three-mile radius
surrounding a proposed site; and average household income. The
Company also analyzes the percentage of the population
consisting of college-educated, dual-income families, as well as
the average home value in the target area.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In addition to acquiring or building centers in
residential areas, the Company had obtained contracts in the
past with employers and office complex managers to operate
centers in at-work locations. Historically, public agencies and
hospitals have been the principal employers providing or
otherwise arranging for child care services for their employees.
A number of private sector employers have begun to offer this
benefit, as they

<DIV align="left">
<FONT size="2">recognize that reduction of employee absenteeism
due to a lack of reliable and available child care can
significantly offset the cost to employers in offering such
benefits.
</FONT>
</DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company&#146;s expansion activity is limited
to child care centers in market areas showing strong growth
potential and to sites which the Company believes it can conform
to its standard facility and educational format. The Company
utilizes prototype building designs in its build-to-suit centers.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company continuously reviews its existing
center portfolio in an effort to ensure all centers meet minimum
performance standards. Centers become candidates for closure
when they fail to meet certain demographic or financial criteria.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Going forward, there are no assurances that the
Company will be able to continue to develop or acquire new sites
in a manner that will meet its requirements.
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Educational Programs</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company&#146;s educational programs stress
the process of learning and discovery. The staff is trained to
support children in their active explorations and to help them
to become self-confident, independent and inquisitive learners.
The Company believes in fostering all aspects of a child&#146;s
development: social, emotional, physical and intellectual. The
two primary means of meeting this goal are the use in each
center of a nationally recognized educational curriculum and the
center&#146;s ongoing dialogue with parents in providing a
learning environment for their children that meets or exceeds
their expectations as customers.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In each Childtime center, the Company has
historically utilized <I>The Creative Curriculum&#174;</I>
<I>For Early Childhood</I>, a nationally recognized educational
curriculum published by Teaching Strategies, Inc. and written by
Diane Trister Dodge (a member of the Governing Board of the
National Association for the Education of Young Children from
1990 to 1994) and Laura J. Colker. <I>The Creative
Curriculum&#174;</I> provides a philosophy and a framework for
development of appropriate curriculum, but it does not provide
detailed daily lesson plans. Tutor Time centers in contrast have
used an in-house proprietary curriculum developed by
Dr.&nbsp;Victoria Folds, Tutor Time&#146;s Vice President of
Education. Dr.&nbsp;Folds&#146; curriculum emphasizes
developmentally appropriate activities, drawing on best
practices from traditional, progressive and Montessori teaching
approaches. As the two brands are integrated into one Company,
Dr.&nbsp;Folds&#146; education team will continue to develop
proprietary curriculum for Tutor Time, and is using the
principles laid out in <I>The Creative Curriculum&#174;</I> to
take over development of more detailed lesson plans and support
materials for Childtime centers. Emphasis will be placed on
keeping the materials for Childtime and Tutor Time distinct from
each other and from competitor&#146;s offerings in the market.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Children enrolled at a center are placed into
groups according to their age. Each group has specific learning
goals that enable the staff to develop planning activities and
daily programs and to assess each child&#146;s growth and
development. At designated times during the year, an informal
developmental assessment is prepared for each child and reviewed
with the child&#146;s parents.

Company&#146;s policy to place the employee on administrative
leave pending the results of an independent state agency
investigation, in which the Company cooperates fully. No
assurances can be made that allegations of child neglect or
abuse will not be made in the future. However, allegations of
child neglect or abuse against an employee are rare, and in most
cases, covered by the Company&#146;s general liability
insurance. Since these incidents fall within the insurance
policy limits, it is the Company&#146;s position that such
occurrences will not materially affect the financial position,
results of operations, or cash flow of the Company.

<I><FONT size="2">Financial Planning; Budgeting and Cost
Control.</FONT></I><FONT size="2"> The Company has implemented a
program of financial planning and cost control which seeks to
maximize operational profit without sacrificing quality child
care. This goal is accomplished by actively engaging the area
manager and center director in the formulation and
implementation of the budget for each center. The Company&#146;s
operations are organized into regions, each of which includes an
on-site regional finance manager. The regional finance manager
is responsible for assisting the director and area manager in
the budgeting process along with other financial functions.
Directors are then responsible for implementing the approved
budget and become primarily responsible for the financial
performance of the center. In order to encourage profitable
performance, the Company has implemented a financial incentive
program for meeting or exceeding pre-approved budget goals.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<I><FONT size="2">Facilities.</FONT></I><FONT size="2"> Most of
the Company&#146;s centers are freestanding structures leased or
owned by the Company. The Company utilizes prototype buildings
designed specifically for each state emphasizing energy
efficiencies, lower maintenance costs and enhanced appearance.
Depending on the state, these prototype designs for Childtime
centers generally contain between 7,900 to 9,000 square feet in
a one story, air-conditioned building; Tutor Time centers are
typically larger with prototype centers averaging over 10,000
square feet.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The interiors primarily consist of closed
classrooms bordering a central hallway. Such a design
accommodates the desire to allow children the freedom to explore
their environment as well as the staff&#146;s need to be able to
monitor activities in the classroom. The Company&#146;s centers
contain classrooms, recreational areas, a kitchen and bathroom
facilities and are designed to accommodate the grouping of
children by age or development level. Two unique features of
Tutor Time centers are the <I>Tutor Towne Village&#174;</I> and
self-contained classrooms. The <I>Tutor Towne Village&#174;</I>
is a common room outfitted with a post office, firehouse, and
other facades that create a play and learning environment
imitating a small town. Use of the room is purposefully
integrated into the Tutor Time curriculum in a way that enables
staff to teach children through guided socio-dramatic play.
Classrooms are self-contained in that each classroom is designed
to have its own areas for play, learning, eating, crafts and
diaper changing so that teachers and children do not need to
leave the room, except for other special activities such as use
of playgrounds or the <I>Tutor Towne Village&#174;</I>.
Childtime centers do not have the same level of standardization
of features due to the varying age of centers and the fact that
many were acquired. However, most centers have unique and
appealing features in line with the educational and
developmental philosophy of the Company.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Room materials are chosen for their educational
value, quality and versatility. The infant/ young toddler room
features separate, sanitary diaper changing areas. Each facility
has a playground designed to accommodate the full range of
children attending the center, including an area specifically
for toddlers. The playground is fenced in for security and
organized to provide adequate supervision for every age group.
Each center is equipped with a variety of audio-visual aids,
educational supplies, games, toys, indoor and outdoor play
equipment. In addition, most Tutor Time centers and some
Childtime centers are equipped with personal computers and
software designed for preschool and school age children. Tutor
Time centers typically are equipped with security cameras and
phones in each classroom. Virtually all of the centers are also
equipped with vehicles for the transportation of children to and
from elementary schools and for field trips. Van drivers carry
cellular telephones in the event of a break down while on the
road.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As of January&nbsp;3, 2003, the Company operated
324 Company-owned centers and franchised 131 centers. Aggregate
licensed capacity for these centers was over 50,000 children.
The capacity of centers differs from state to state because of
various licensing requirements.

<I><FONT size="2">Management
Contracts.</FONT></I><FONT size="2"> As of January&nbsp;3, 2003,
the Company also had contracts to manage 12 child care centers.
Many of these centers are located on or near the premises of a
specific employer and involve varying degrees of involvement
from the employer, such as ownership of the premises, minimum
enrollment guarantees, the assumption of financial
responsibility for the ongoing operations of the center, other
management arrangements, or any combination of the above.
Historically, public agencies and hospitals have been the
principal employers providing or otherwise arranging for child
care services for their employees.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company believes that the quality of a
center&#146;s director, staff, center location, and consistent
localized advertising and marketing are the key components to a
successful center. The Company relies heavily on recommendations
from current customers as a source of new enrollments. To
encourage recommendations, the Company offers a referral bonus
to parents and employees of the Company who successfully
recommend the Company&#146;s services to others. In addition,
the Company advertises through a variety of database direct
marketing programs that target parents within a specified radius
of each center. The Company also advertises through direct mail
distribution of promotional material in residential areas
surrounding a center and through listings in the Yellow Pages
(directory-based and online) and maintains an internet web site.
The Company will continue to promote its safe, secure facilities
along with its respected curriculum and qualified staff through
direct marketing campaigns timed around peak enrollment periods
or to support specified programs.
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Seasonality</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Generally, the Company&#146;s accounting periods
are organized into 13 four-week periods, with 4 four-week
periods comprising the first fiscal quarter and 3 four-week
periods comprising each of the second, third and fourth fiscal
quarters. Consequently, the Company&#146;s revenues, gross
profit and operating results for the first quarter are favorably
impacted by the additional four weeks included in that quarter.
Periodically, due to the Company&#146;s closing the fiscal year
on the Friday closest to March&nbsp;31, the Company will have a
five-week period in the thirteenth period of its fiscal year.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Due to the impact of summer vacation, in July and
August of each year (the last month of the Company&#146;s first
fiscal quarter and the first month of the Company&#146;s second
fiscal quarter), the Company has historically experienced an
enrollment decline. In addition, the Company typically
experiences revenue declines in the months of November and
December due to the impact of several major holidays. To
partially offset these declines, the Company has successfully
implemented and marketed both a summer camp program with a new
theme and focus each year, as well as a December holiday camp.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">New enrollments are generally highest in
September and January; accordingly, August and December are
traditionally the best months to open new centers. However, with
the exception of spring, the Company has demonstrated an ability
to successfully open centers throughout the year because of
enhanced pre-opening marketing efforts. Total enrollments (and,
accordingly, the Company&#146;s results) are typically the
strongest in the fourth quarter (which include the months of
January, February and March).
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Competition</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The child care and preschool education industry
is highly fragmented and competitive and has historically been
dominated by small, local nursery schools and child care
centers. The Company&#146;s competition consists principally of
local nursery schools and child care centers (some of which are
non-profit, including church-affiliated centers), providers of
services that operate out of homes, and other proprietary
multi-unit child care center providers, some of which are larger
and may have substantially greater financial resources than the
Company. Among the larger providers of for-profit child care and
preschool education are KinderCare Learning Centers, Inc., La
Petite Academy, Inc., Aramark/ Children&#146;s World, and
Children&#146;s Discovery Centers/ Knowledge Beginnings. Bright
Horizons Family Solutions, Inc. is the largest competitor in the
at-work/management contract segment. Major competitors in the
franchise segment include Goddard Schools, Primrose Schools, and
Kiddie Academy.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company believes it is able to compete
favorably with these providers by offering a high quality level
of child care services. This is especially true in competing
against local nursery schools, child care centers and in-home
providers where the Company is often at a price disadvantage,
because these providers generally charge less for their services
than the Company charges. Many church-affiliated and other
non-profit child care centers have lower occupancy costs, than
the Company and may receive donations or other funding to cover
operating expenses. Consequently, operators of such centers may
charge tuition rates that are less than the Company&#146;s
rates. In addition, fees for home-based and not-for-profit care
are normally lower than fees for

not regulated and, thus, not required to satisfy the same
health, safety, insurance or state regulations as the
Company&#146;s centers.
</FONT>
</DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company competes by hiring and training
quality center directors and by offering professionally-planned
educational and recreational programs, well-equipped facilities,
and trained staff and supervisory personnel. In addition, the
Company also provides a range of enrichment programs, including
foreign language, dance, music and karate. The Company also
provides drop in service, and the transportation between the
Company&#146;s child care centers and schools of children
enrolled in the Company&#146;s before and after school program.

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Personnel</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As of January&nbsp;3, 2003, the Company employed
more than 7,500 persons (including part-time and substitute
caregivers), of which 90 are employed at corporate headquarters
in Michigan and in Florida, 16 are employed at the 5 regional
offices and 33 are employed as area managers or franchise
district managers. The remainder are employed at the
Company&#146;s child care centers. Center employees include
center directors, assistant directors, full-time and part-time
teachers, caregivers, substitute caregivers, aides and other
staff, including cooks and van drivers. All center directors,
regional managers, area managers and most corporate supervisory
personnel are salaried; all other employees are paid on an
hourly basis. The Company does not have an agreement with any
labor union and believes that its relations with its employees
are good.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company is also subject to the Fair Labor
Standards Act, which governs minimum wages, overtime
compensation and working conditions. A portion of the
Company&#146;s personnel (estimated to be less than 1% as a
percentage of total payroll expense) are paid at the federal
minimum wage.
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Regulation</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Child care centers are subject to numerous state
and local regulations and detailed state licensing requirements.
Although these regulations vary from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction, government agencies generally review, among other
things, the adequacy of buildings and equipment, licensed
capacity, the ratio of staff to children, staff training, record
keeping, the dietary program, the daily curriculum and health
and safety standards. In most jurisdictions, these agencies
conduct scheduled and unscheduled inspections of centers, and
licenses must be renewed periodically. In a few jurisdictions,
new legislation or regulations have been enacted or are being
considered which establish requirements for employee background
checks or other clearance procedures for new employees of child
care centers. Repeated failures by a center to comply with
applicable regulations can subject it to state sanctions, which
might include fines, corrective orders, being placed on
probation or, in more serious cases, suspension or revocation of
the center&#146;s license to operate. Management believes the
Company is in substantial compliance with all material
regulations applicable to its business.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">For the fiscal year ended March&nbsp;29, 2002 and
the first three quarters of fiscal year 2003 ended
January&nbsp;3, 2003, approximately 22% and 24%, respectively,
of the Company&#146;s revenues were generated from federal and
state child care assistance programs, primarily the Child Care
and Development Block Grant and At-Risk Programs. These programs
are typically designed to assist low-income families with child
care expenses and are administered through various state
agencies. Although no federal license is required at this time,
there are minimum standards that must be met to qualify for
participation in certain federal programs. There is no assurance
that funding for such federal and state programs will continue
at current levels and a significant reduction in such funding
may have an adverse impact on the Company.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">There are certain tax incentives for parents
utilizing child care programs. Section&nbsp;21 of the Internal
Revenue Code provides a federal income tax credit ranging from
20% to 30% of certain child care expenses for &#147;qualifying
individuals&#148; (as defined therein). The fees paid to the
Company for child care services by eligible taxpayers qualify
for the tax credit, subject to the limitations of
Section&nbsp;21. In 2002, the amount of the qualifying child
care expenses was limited to $2,400 for one child and $4,800 for
two or more children. Therefore, the maximum credit ranged from
$480 to $720 for one child and from $960 to $1,440 for two or
more children. For 2003, the tax credit currently ranges from
20% to 35% of qualifying child care expenses and is limited to
$3,000 for one child and $6,000 for two or more children.
Therefore, the maximum credits ranges

with Disabilities Act (&#147;ADA&#148;), which prohibits
discrimination on the basis of disability in public
accommodations and employment. Costs incurred to date by the
Company to comply with the ADA have not been significant. A
determination that the Company is not in compliance with the
ADA, however, could result in the imposition of fines or an
award of damages to private litigants, and could require
significant expenditures. The Company believes that the majority
of its centers are substantially in compliance with all material
ADA requirements.

<FONT size="2">The Company&#146;s insurance program currently
includes the following types of policies: workers&#146;
compensation, commercial general and automobile liability,
commercial property, director and officer liability, flood
coverage in applicable locations, excess &#147;umbrella&#148;
liability, and a medical payment program for accidents which
provides secondary coverage for each child enrolled in a Company
center. The policies provide for a variety of coverages and are
subject to various limits and deductibles. For fiscal 2003 and
2002, the Company&#146;s policies for workers&#146; compensation
have a deductible of $250,000 per occurrence. The commercial
general liability policy has a $1,000,000 limit per occurrence,
with a $3,000,000 general aggregate limit per location. There is
a separate limit for sexual abuse and molestation coverage of
$1,000,000 for each occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate,
with defense limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000
in the aggregate. The Company also has excess
&#147;umbrella&#148; coverage, relating to general liabilities
(exclusive of sexual/ physical abuse claims) in the amount of
$20,000,000 per year. Management believes the Company&#146;s
current insurance coverages are adequate to meet its needs.

<FONT size="2">As of January&nbsp;3, 2003, the Company operated
278 Childtime centers and 58 Tutor Time corporate centers. Of
the Childtime centers, 215 were operated under lease or
operating agreements, 51 were owned and 12 were operated under
management contracts. Of the Tutor Time corporate centers, all
58 were under lease agreements. Both the Childtime and Tutor
Time leases have terms ranging from 1 to 25&nbsp;years, often
with renewal options, with most leases having an initial term of
5 to 20&nbsp;years. The leases typically require the Company to
pay utilities, maintenance, insurance and property taxes, and
some provide for contingent rentals if the center&#146;s
revenues exceed a specified base level. In addition, the Company
serves as guarantor on 66 franchise leases.

the standard arrangement for compensation of directors was as
follows: officers of the Company who were directors (including
the non-executive Chairman of the Board) did not receive any
additional compensation for services as a director. Directors
who were not employees of the Company received directors&#146;
fees of $6,000 per year, $500 for each Board meeting attended
and $250 for each Committee meeting attended. Effective October,
2002, the standard arrangement for compensation of directors was
altered to provide annual directors&#146; fees of $4,000, paid
in quarterly installments, and per meeting fees of $1,500. Fees
for committee participation remain unchanged. Directors who are
not employees of the Company are also participants in the
Company&#146;s Director Stock Option Plan. Pursuant to such
plan, options to purchase 2,500 shares are granted to each
non-employee director, subject to availability, at each annual
meeting at which they are elected or remain in office. Options
for up to 75,000 shares are available for grant under the
Director Stock Option Plan, each of which becomes fully vested
and exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
The exercise price of options granted under the Plan will equal
the market price of the Common Stock at the time of grant.

    option, a period of five years for Mr.&nbsp;Morgan and
    Mr.&nbsp;Tylka. Mr.&nbsp;Novas&#146; options have been
    terminated and therefore have no realizable value in the future.
    This valuation is hypothetical; if the stock price does not
    increase above the exercise price, compensation paid to
    Mr.&nbsp;Morgan and Mr.&nbsp;Tylka will be zero for the options
    held with an exercise price of $11.00 per share. These gains are
    based on assumed rates of annual compounded stock price
    appreciation of 5% and 10% from the date the options were
    granted over the full option term. Of course, actual gains, if
    any, on stock option exercises and stock accruals are dependent
    on the future performance of the common stock and overall stock
    market conditions. There can be no assurance that the amounts
    reflected in the table will be achieved. A 5% or 10% annually
    compounded increase in the Company&#146;s stock price from the
    date of the grant to the end of the five-year option term for
    Mr.&nbsp;Morgan&#146;s 50,000 and Mr.&nbsp;Tylka&#146;s 20,000
    options granted with a $11.00 per share exercise price would
    result in stock prices of $10.912 and $13.770 per share,
    respectively. With respect to Mr.&nbsp;Morgan&#146;s 60,000
    options with a $7.00 exercise price per share, a 5% or 10%
    annually compounded increase in the Company&#146;s stock price
    from the date of grant to the end of the five-year option term

Mr.&nbsp;Morgan was appointed to the Board of Directors

the Board of the Company, is the managing general partner,
James&nbsp;J. Morgan, a director and former Chairman of the
Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is a
partner, and George&nbsp;A. Kellner, the Company&#146;s Vice
Chairman of the Board, is a special advisor, to provide
management and financial consulting services. As consideration
for the provision of such services to the Company and its Board
of Directors, Jacobson Partners is entitled to receive an annual
fee of $250,000, plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses. The agreement will continue in effect until terminated
by either party upon six months&#146; prior written notice. As
additional consideration for its services, the Company granted
to Jacobson Partners, and its designees, two options to acquire,
in the aggregate, up to 557,275 shares of the Company&#146;s
common stock. As of March&nbsp;29, 2002, options for 294,117
shares were exercised at a cost of $2,500,000. The options to
acquire the remaining 263,158 shares expired July 2002. In
addition, the 294,117 shares acquired by Jacobson Partners and
its designees are subject to registration rights until July 2007.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As part of its agreement with the Company,
Jacobson Partners agreed that, until July 2002, neither it nor
its designees would acquire additional shares of the
Company&#146;s common stock (whether in the open market or in
private transactions) (i)&nbsp;having an aggregate purchase
price in excess of $2,500,000 or (ii)&nbsp;at the same time the
Company would be engaged in a share repurchase agreement. During
that two-year period, pursuant to a separate agreement with
Childcare Associates and KD&nbsp;Partners&nbsp;II (Company
shareholders controlled by Mr.&nbsp;Kellner), Jacobson Partners
and its designees had the right to acquire Company shares owned
by such entities to the extent investors in such entities wish
to have their pro rata interest in the Company&#146;s common
stock sold; provided that any shares so purchased by Jacobson
Partners and its designees would be subject to an irrevocable
voting proxy in favor of Mr.&nbsp;Kellner. All shares of the
Common Stock acquired by Jacobson Partners and its designees

loaned an aggregate of $14,000,000 to the Company. The loans are
subject to a subordination agreement in favor of the
Company&#146;s secured creditor, bear interest at 15% (of which
only 7% is payable in cash unless certain conditions are met,
with the rest payable in kind with the issuance of additional
subordinated debt) and mature December&nbsp;31, 2004. The terms
of this subordinated loan arrangement were approved by a Special
Committee of the Board of Directors. Although Jacobson Partners
received no consideration for arranging this financing, lenders
included JP Acquisition Fund&nbsp;II, L.P. and JP Acquisition
Fund&nbsp;III, L.P., entities controlled and managed by
affiliates of Jacobson Partners (for an aggregate of
$10,497,154), Mr.&nbsp;Jacobson (for $115,703), trusts for the

<FONT size="2">Also in July 2002, certain members of the JP
Acquisition Fund Group (the &#147;Optionees&#148;) agreed to
arrange for the Company to obtain a standby purchase commitment
in connection with this rights offering. As consideration for
such commitment, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors
approved the grant to the Optionees of options to purchase, in
the aggregate, up to 400,000 shares of common stock, until
July&nbsp;19, 2006, at an exercise price of $5.00 per share
(approximately 171% of the five-day average of the daily closing
prices of the common stock on The Nasdaq National Market System
as of July&nbsp;19, 2002, the date of the agreement). All shares
acquired by the Optionees would be subject to registration
rights, pursuant to which, until July&nbsp;6, 2007, the
Optionees would have the right to cause the Company to register,
at the Company&#146;s expense, their shares of common stock,
whenever the Company is otherwise registering shares (except in
certain circumstances). The option grant to the Optionees has

preferred stock in its Restated Articles. The issuance of
preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a

could have a detrimental effect on the rights of holders of

Furthermore, anti-takeover provisions that could be included in

Company has a classified Board of Directors so that one class of

will generally take the shareholders two annual meetings to

governed by the Trust Indenture Act. The following description
is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture. It
does not include all of the provisions of the Indenture nor does
it restate the Indenture in its entirety. We urge you to read

due and payable on the Maturity Date. The amount of interest
payable for any period will be computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed based on a 360-day year. In the
event that any date on which interest is payable on the
Subordinated Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the
interest payable on such date will be made on the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day (including interest or
other payment in respect of any such delay). Overdue interest
and principal will bear interest on the amount thereof (to the
extent permitted by law) at the rate per annum of 18% thereof,
compounded quarterly. A &#147;Business Day&#148; is any day
other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or a day on which banking
institutions in the State of Michigan are authorized or required
by law or executive order to remain closed.

<FONT size="2">The following is a summary of the material United
States federal income tax considerations and consequences of the
receipt, exercise and/or lapse of subscription rights to
purchase Units and of the purchase, ownership and disposition of
the Units. This summary deals only with subscription rights and
Units (and Subordinated Notes and shares of common stock
constituting part of a Unit) held as capital assets by holders
who acquire the subscription rights in the rights offering and
who purchase the Units upon original issuance at the original
offering price. This summary does not discuss the tax
considerations applicable to subsequent purchasers. For purposes
of this summary, &#147;U.S.&nbsp;holder&#148; means a beneficial
owner of a subscription right or Unit (or Subordinated Notes or
shares of common stock constituting part of a Unit) that is
(1)&nbsp;an individual citizen or resident of the United States,
(2)&nbsp;a corporation, or other entity taxable as a
corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the
United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia,
or (3)&nbsp;a partnership, estate or trust treated, for United
States federal income tax purposes, as a domestic partnership,
estate or trust. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), treasury
regulations issued thereunder, Internal Revenue Service rulings
and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect, all of
which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.

companies, dealers in securities or currencies, or tax-exempt
organizations, (2)&nbsp;persons holding Units (or Subordinated
Notes or shares of common stock constituting part of a Unit) as
part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other
integrated investment, or (3)&nbsp;persons whose functional
currency is not the U.S.&nbsp;dollar), some of which may be
subject to special rules, nor does it address United States
federal taxes (other than income taxes), alternative minimum
taxes or state, local or foreign taxes. <B>Prospective investors
that are not United States persons (within the meaning of

among other reasons, no statutory, administrative or judicial

the subscription rights for United States federal income tax
purposes. No rulings will be obtained from the Internal Revenue

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We believe that the distribution of a

separate rights, that is, (1)&nbsp;a distribution of the right

<FONT size="2">federal income tax considerations and
consequences of the rights offering to holders will be
materially different than described below. The remainder of this
discussion assumes that the distribution of a subscription right
will be treated as the distribution of separate debt and stock
rights.
</FONT>
</DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<I><FONT size="2">Distribution of Subscription Rights.
</FONT></I><FONT size="2">Section&nbsp;305(a) of the Code
generally provides that gross income does not include the amount
of any distribution by a corporation to its shareholders of
stock or rights to acquire stock of that corporation.
Section&nbsp;305(b) and (c)&nbsp;of the Code and United States
Treasury regulations thereunder set forth several exceptions to
the general rule of Section&nbsp;305(a). If one of the
exceptions were to apply to the distribution of a stock right
considered part of a subscription right, (1)&nbsp;the value of
the stock right would be treated as a dividend (ordinary income)
to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and
profits, if any, and (2)&nbsp;any value of the stock right
considered part of a subscription right in excess of our
earnings and profits would be treated first as a non-taxable
return of capital to the extent of the U.S.&nbsp;holder&#146;s
tax basis and then a gain from a sale or exchange of the
holder&#146;s common stock. The exceptions generally apply to
distributions which are designed to have the effect of
distributing cash or property other than our common stock to
some shareholders while increasing other shareholder&#146;s
ownership of our common equity. Because the distribution of
stock rights considered part of the subscription rights is being
made to all our shareholders and no holder of our stock will
receive a distribution of money or property in lieu of receiving
stock rights or in exchange for not exercising the stock rights,
it is unlikely that the distribution of stock rights considered
part of the subscription rights could have such an effect.
Accordingly, this discussion assumes that the exceptions of
Section&nbsp;305(b) and (c)&nbsp;to Section&nbsp;305(a) do not
apply to the distribution of a stock right considered part of a
subscription right.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Unlike the distribution of a stock right
considered part of a subscription right, the distribution by us
of a debt right considered part of a subscription right will be
taxable to a U.S.&nbsp;holder in an amount equal to the fair
market value (on the date of distribution) of such debt right.
We expect that the fair market value of a debt right considered
part of a subscription right will be $0.00. We believe that any
value a subscription right may have is attributable solely to
the stock right considered part of such subscription right.
Thus, because (1)&nbsp;any value attributable to a subscription
right as of the date of distribution will be attributable solely
to the value of the stock right and (2)&nbsp;the distribution of
a subscription right will be made with respect to our common
stock, the distribution of a subscription right by us to a
U.S.&nbsp;holder should be a non-taxable event. The remainder of
this discussion assumes that this valuation of a debt right
considered part of a subscription right will be respected for
United States federal income tax purposes.

<I><FONT size="2">Tax Basis of Subscription Rights.
</FONT></I><FONT size="2">Except as provided in the following
sentence, the tax basis of a subscription right will be zero.
If, however, either (1)&nbsp;the fair market value (on the date
of distribution) of the stock right considered part of the
subscription right is 15% or more of the fair market value (on
the date of distribution) of the shares of the common stock with
respect to which the subscription right is distributed, or
(2)&nbsp;the U.S.&nbsp;holder properly elects, in the
holder&#146;s federal income tax return for the taxable year in
which the holder receives the subscription right, to allocate
part of the tax basis of such common stock to the subscription
right, then, upon the exercise of the subscription right, the
holder&#146;s tax basis in such common stock will be allocated
between such common stock and the subscription right in
proportion to the fair market values (on the date of
distribution) of the common stock and the stock right considered
part of the subscription right. We have not obtained an
independent appraisal of the valuation of the shares of the
common stock with respect to which subscription rights are
distributed or the stock rights considered part of such
subscription rights and, therefore, each U.S.&nbsp;holder
individually must determine how the rule in the preceding
sentence will apply in that holder&#146;s particular situation.
For United States federal income tax purposes, the fair market
value of property is the price at which the property would
change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, where
neither party is under a compulsion to buy or sell and both have
reasonable knowledge of all the relevant facts.

<FONT size="2">If the recipient of subscription rights to
acquire Units is an employee benefit plan, Keogh plan,
tax-sheltered annuity, individual retirement account or annuity,
or Roth&nbsp;IRA, which is intended to satisfy
Section&nbsp;401(a), 403, 408 or 408A of the Code (each a
&#147;Benefit Plan&#148;), then the subscription rights may be
exercised, and the Units purchased, by and under the Benefit
Plan. If, however, the subscription rights are received by a
Benefit Plan, but the Units are purchased outside of the Benefit
Plan by a participant or beneficiary thereof pursuant to an
exercise of subscription rights, then such purchase may be
deemed to be a distribution from the Benefit Plan which may
violate the terms of the Benefit Plan and/ or applicable
provisions of the Code and may also give rise to early
distribution penalty taxes and a disqualification of the
tax-exempt status of the Benefit Plan. Similarly, if the
subscription rights to purchase Units are received by a person
other than a Benefit Plan, but the Units are purchased by the
Benefit Plan pursuant to the exercise of such subscription
rights, such purchase by the Benefit Plan may be deemed to be a
contribution to the Benefit Plan which may violate the terms of
the Benefit Plan and/ or applicable provisions of the Code and
may also give rise to a disqualification of the tax-exempt
status of the Benefit Plan.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<B><FONT size="2">Holders should consult their own tax advisors
with respect to the tax consequences of either a purchase of
Units by a participant or beneficiary outside of a Benefit Plan
pursuant to the exercise of subscription rights that are
received by the Benefit Plan, or a purchase of Units by a
Benefit Plan pursuant to the exercise of subscription rights
that are received by a person other than the Benefit
Plan.</FONT></B>

<FONT size="2">In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements listed in the index appearing on page&nbsp;F-1 and
included on pages&nbsp;F-3 through F-20 present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Childtime Learning
Centers, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the &#147;Company&#148;) at
March&nbsp;29, 2002 and March&nbsp;30, 2001, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
fiscal years in the period ended March&nbsp;29, 2002 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing on
page&nbsp;F-1 and included on page&nbsp;F-21 presents fairly, in
all material respects, the information set forth therein when
read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial
statements. These financial statements and financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

Consolidation and Corporate Organization:</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Childtime Learning Centers, Inc. and its wholly
owned subsidiaries (together referred to as the
&#147;Company&#148;). All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated. The Company began operations in 1967.
Childtime Learning Centers, Inc. was incorporated on
November&nbsp;2, 1995 and completed its initial public offering
on February&nbsp;2, 1996. As of March&nbsp;29, 2002, the Company
provides for-profit child care through 286 child care centers
located in 23 states and the District of Columbia (see
Note&nbsp;12).

<B><FONT size="2">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies:</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">a.&nbsp;<I>Fiscal Year: </I>The Company utilizes
a 52-53&nbsp;week fiscal year (comprised of 13 four-week
periods), ending on the Friday closest to March&nbsp;31. The
fiscal years ended March&nbsp;29, 2002, March&nbsp;30, 2001 and
March&nbsp;31, 2000 all contained 52 weeks.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">b.&nbsp;<I>Cash and Cash Equivalents: </I>The
Company considers all temporary investments with original
maturities of three months or less at time of purchase to be
cash equivalents.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">c.&nbsp;<I>Land, Buildings and Equipment:
</I>Land, buildings and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the assets (generally 40&nbsp;years
for buildings and between 3 and 10&nbsp;years for vehicles,
furniture and equipment). Leasehold improvements are recorded at
cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of
the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement
(generally 15&nbsp;years) or the life of the lease. Gains and
losses on sales and retirements are included in the
determination of the results of operations. Maintenance and
repair costs for new centers are charged to operating expense in
the period incurred.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">d.&nbsp;<I>Intangible Assets: </I>Intangible
assets represent principally the unamortized excess of the cost
of acquiring Childtime (by the predecessor of Childtime Learning
Centers, Inc.) and other acquisitions of existing child care
facilities over the fair values of the companies&#146; net
tangible assets at the dates of acquisition. The intangible
assets are being amortized using a straight-line method over
various periods, but primarily over 15&nbsp;years, with such
amortization expense included in cost of revenues. Accumulated
amortization at March&nbsp;29, 2002 and March&nbsp;30, 2001 was
$7,206,630 and $5,806,263, respectively.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">e.&nbsp;<I>Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:
</I>Long-lived assets are comprised of intangible assets and
property, plant and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed
annually for impairment and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may
not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of
the unamortized cost of acquired assets in excess of fair value
based on a review of projected undiscounted cash flows of the
related centers. These cash flows are reviewed by management in
connection with the Company&#146;s annual long-range planning
process. Once the Company has utilized its resources in order to
make the center profitable, without success, and future cash
flows fail to match the carrying value of the assets, they are
deemed to be impaired. The extent of the impairment is measured
as the difference between the fair market of the asset and its
carrying value, with fair market value calculated using
projected future discounted cash flows. At March&nbsp;29, 2002,
the Company recorded impairment losses of $1,692,830 on
intangible assets and $222,697 on tangible property, as compared
to impairment losses of $1,079,125 on intangible assets and
$367,639 on tangible property for the fiscal year ending
March&nbsp;30, 2001. If actual results or circumstances are less
favorable than those forecasted by management, or if upon
completion of the new impairment tests under SFAS No.&nbsp;142,
&#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,&#148; the Company
identifies an impairment, a future charge may be required. SFAS
No.&nbsp;142 became effective for the Company beginning in
fiscal 2003.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years
beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2001. SFAS No.&nbsp;141
requires, among other things, that the purchase method of
accounting for business combinations be used for all business
combinations initiated after June&nbsp;30, 2001. SFAS
No.&nbsp;142 addresses the accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS
No.&nbsp;142 requires, among other things, that goodwill and
other indefinite-lived intangible assets no longer be amortized
and that such assets be tested for possible impairment at least
annually. SFAS No.&nbsp;142 became effective for the Company
beginning March&nbsp;30, 2002. The Company will test goodwill
for impairment using the two-step process prescribed in SFAS
No.&nbsp;142. The Company expects to complete the first step by
the second quarter of 2003. Any impairment that is required to
be recognized upon the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;142 would be
reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle. The Company must complete the measurement of any
impairment loss upon the initial adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;142

<FONT size="2">On January&nbsp;31, 2002, the Company amended and
restated its revolving line of credit agreement with the
existing lender, increasing the amount available for borrowing
to $17.5&nbsp;million, with interest payable monthly at a
variable rate, at the Company&#146;s option, based on either the
prime rate or the Eurodollar rate. The unused line of credit
bears a commitment fee of 0.35% payable quarterly. The new
credit agreement will mature on September&nbsp;30, 2004, and is
collateralized by the Company&#146;s receivables, equipment and
certain real estate.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Under the line of credit, there were borrowings
of $2,500,000 at March&nbsp;29, 2002, and no borrowings at
March&nbsp;30, 2001. For the year ended March&nbsp;29, 2002,
average borrowings on the line of credit were $1,066,591, with
an average interest rate of 4.35&nbsp;percent, as compared to
average borrowings of $2,198,572, with an average interest rate
of 9.22&nbsp;percent for the year ended March&nbsp;30, 2001.
Outstanding letters of credit further reduced the availability
under the line of credit by $1,847,588 at March&nbsp;29, 2002
and $2,450,147 at March&nbsp;30, 2001. Under this agreement, the

requires the Company to maintain certain debt-to-equity ratios,
a minimum fixed charge coverage and a minimum amount of tangible
net worth. In addition, there are restrictions on the incurrence
of additional indebtedness, disposition and acquisition of
assets and transactions with affiliates.

full-time employees. The Company matches 25&nbsp;percent of
employee contributions up to 4&nbsp;percent of compensation.
Employees may contribute up to 15&nbsp;percent of compensation
to the Plan. Amounts expensed for the years ended March&nbsp;29,
2002, March&nbsp;30, 2001 and March&nbsp;31, 2000 were $104,121,

<FONT size="2">In November 1995, the Company adopted the 1995
Stock Incentive Plan for Key Employees (the &#147;Stock Option
Plan&#148;). The Stock Option Plan became effective,
February&nbsp;2, 1996, concurrent with the effectiveness of the
registration statement relating to the Company&#146;s initial
public offering of Common Stock. The aggregate number of shares
that may be issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, was
300,000 shares. At the 2000 Annual Shareholder Meeting, an
amendment was approved increasing the amount of shares available
for grant or award by 300,000, bringing the new total to 600,000
shares. Options may be granted, or restricted stock awarded, at
the discretion of the Company&#146;s compensation committee from
time to time at a range of 75&nbsp;percent to 110&nbsp;percent
of the market value of the stock on the date on which such
option is granted as defined in the Stock Option Plan. Each
option granted under the plan shall expire in five to ten years
from the date of grant, as defined in the Stock Option Plan.
Restrictions on sale or transfer of stock awarded under the
Stock Option Plan, if any, range from six months to five years.
Vesting requirements are determined by the committee at the time
of the grant, provided however, no stock option may be
exercisable prior to the expiration of six months from the date
of grant unless the participant dies or becomes disabled prior
thereto. Options granted during fiscal 2002 of 620,500 were
granted at the then market price and vest evenly over a
three-year period. No compensation expense has been recorded on
any employee options, as all options were granted at the fair
market price. In addition, the Company adopted the Director
Stock Option Plan, effective February&nbsp;2, 1996, providing
for annual grants of stock options to non-employee directors to
purchase common stock at fair value as of the date of such
grant. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued
pursuant to the Director Stock Option Plan, is 75,000 shares.
Each option grant under the plan shall expire five years from
the date of grant. Options vest in full on the first anniversary
of the date of grant and 12,500 and 15,000 options were granted
under the plan during fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.

further incentive for such services, Jacobson Partners was
granted stock options to purchase 557,275 shares. As of
March&nbsp;29, 2002, Jacobson Partners has exercised options
totaling 294,117 shares at a cost of $2,500,000. The remaining
263,158 shares have an option price of $9.50 and expire in July
2002. Additionally, Jacobson Partners receives an annual
consulting fee in the amount of $250,000, plus reimbursement of
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. As a result of the stock
option grants, the Company recorded additional compensation
expense of $297,950 in fiscal 2001. In connection with the
proposed Tutor Time acquisition (see Note&nbsp;17
&#147;Subsequent Events&#148;), Jacobson Partners has been
retained to provide investment advisory services (including for
related post-closing services), and, if the Company is
successful in acquiring the assets of Tutor Time, one of the
above-described investment funds controlled by Jacobson Partners
has committed to partially fund the financing of the
acquisition. If the Company is successful in acquiring the Tutor
Time assets, Jacobson Partners will be entitled to a fee of
$1,000,000, of which $333,334 will be payable in cash and the
remainder will be payable by the issuance of 175,438 shares of
the Company&#146;s common stock (based on a conversion price of
$3.80 per share). Although the terms of the financing
arrangement have not yet been finalized, the Company believes
that the foregoing transactions are, or will be, on terms
similar to arm&#146;s-length terms available from unrelated
parties. Total expenses incurred for Jacobson Partners were
$261,255, $485,196 and $0 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
All of these related party consulting and compensation expenses
are included in General and Administrative expense in the
accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. James J.
Morgan, the Company&#146;s Chairman of the Board and interim
Chief Executive Officer, became a partner of Jacobson Partners
effective January&nbsp;1, 2002. George A. Kellner also serves as

During fiscal 2002, the Company settled the case and the entire

current liability has been recorded on the balance sheet as of

management team, who reviewed the Company&#146;s operations and
developed a new strategic direction. This review identified
short and long-term profitability goals and identified areas
designed to improve productivity and reduce operating costs.

In this regard, the Company closed all 10 of its Oxford Learning
Centers of America and identified 19 under-performing centers to
be closed in fiscal 2002. As of March&nbsp;29, 2002, all but one
of the under-performing centers have been closed. Approximately
200 employees were or will be involuntarily terminated in
connection with the closures of Oxford Learning Centers of
America and the 19 under-performing Childtime centers. These
under-performing centers generated operating losses in fiscal
2001 of $526,000 on revenues of $6,132,000, while Oxford
Learning Centers of America generated operating losses of
$818,000 on revenues of $465,000.

<FONT size="2">Childtime Learning Centers, Inc. and subsidiaries
(&#147;Childtime&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) began
operations in 1967, and operates for-profit childcare centers in
27 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. On July&nbsp;19,
2002, the Company acquired the assets of Tutor Time Learning
Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation (&#147;Tutor Time&#148;),
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$22.8&nbsp;million, including acquisition costs, plus the
assumption of certain liabilities. The acquisition was
consummated pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated
June&nbsp;28, 2002, approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court,
Southern District of Florida and closed on July&nbsp;19, 2002.
The Company purchased substantially all of the operating assets
and contract rights used by Tutor Time in its child care
operations, which were comprised of 198 company-owned and
franchised child care centers operating in 23 states and
internationally, and were purchased to improve the range of the
Company&#146;s product offering and to enter the child care
franchise business. The Tutor Time centers are on average newer
and larger than Childtime&#146;s centers, and Tutor Time is one
of the largest franchisors in the child care industry.
Additionally, the Company gained access to approximately 34
sites that were under development, which have opened or are
expected to open as either franchise or corporate centers over
the next 18&nbsp;months. As of January&nbsp;3, 2003, Childtime
operated 336 Company owned centers and franchised an additional
131 centers with an aggregate licensed capacity for over 50,000
children.

<FONT size="2">As previously mentioned, on July&nbsp;19, 2002,
the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Tutor
Time Learning Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation (&#147;Tutor
Time&#148;), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$22.8&nbsp;million, including acquisition costs, plus the
assumption of certain liabilities. In consideration for
providing investment advisory services with respect to the
acquisition, Jacobson Partners was paid an advisory fee
consisting of a cash payment of $333,336 and the issuance of
175,438 shares of common stock. These costs have been
capitalized as part of the acquisition costs. Jacobson Partners
is the management and financial consultant to the Company of
which Benjamin&nbsp;R. Jacobson, the Company&#146;s Chairman of
the Board is the managing general partner, James&nbsp;J. Morgan,
the Company&#146;s former Chairman of the Board and interim
Chief Executive Officer, is a partner, and George&nbsp;A.
Kellner, the Company&#146;s Vice Chairman of the Board, is a
special advisor.

by Bank One, NA through its secured credit facility with
Childtime Childcare, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the

Notes&#148;) in the aggregate amount of $14&nbsp;million were
provided by a group of lenders organized by Jacobson Partners to
fund the balance of the Tutor Time acquisition purchase price
and to provide related working capital. The Subordinated Notes
are subject to a Subordination Agreement in favor of Bank One,
NA, mature December&nbsp;31, 2004 and bear interest at 15% of
which 7% is payable in cash, with the balance payable in kind by
the issuance of additional subordinated notes (the
&#147;Additional Subordinated Notes&#148;) with interest and
principal payable on the earlier of December&nbsp;31, 2004 or
such date on which the Company has consummated the Rights
Offering (defined below), provided that interest on the
Subordinated Notes (including the Additional Subordinated Notes
and interest thereon) may be paid only to the extent the
aggregate proceeds of the Rights Offering exceeds
$14&nbsp;million. If the Rights Offering is not consummated, and
the Company has not received net cash proceeds (and/or cancelled
Subordinated Notes) of at least $7.5&nbsp;million from the
issuance of common stock in such Rights Offering (the
&#147;Minimum Equity Amount&#148;), on or before July&nbsp;19,
2003, then until the earlier of December&nbsp;31, 2004 or the
date on which the Company consummates the Rights Offering and
receives the Minimum Equity Amount, all interest on the
Subordinated Notes will be payable by the issuance of Additional
Subordinated Notes. Although Jacobson Partners received no

<FONT size="2">In connection with the Tutor Time acquisition, JP
Acquisition Fund II, L.P., JP Acquisition Fund III, L.P., and
certain of their co-investors (collectively, the
&#147;Optionees&#148;), including Messrs.&nbsp;Jacobson, Morgan
and Kellner, agreed to arrange for the Company to obtain a
standby purchase commitment in connection with the
Company&#146;s proposed rights offering contemplated for the
purpose of refinancing the subordinated debt incurred by the
Company in connection with the Tutor Time acquisition (the
&#147;Rights Offering&#148;). As consideration for obtaining
such commitment, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors
approved the grant to the Optionees of options to purchase, in
the aggregate, up to 400,000 shares of common stock, until
July&nbsp;19, 2006, at an exercise price of $5.00&nbsp;per
share. All shares acquired by the Optionees upon the exercise of
their options would be subject to registration rights, pursuant
to which, until July&nbsp;6, 2007, the Optionees would have the
right to cause the Company to register, at the Company&#146;s
expense, their shares of common stock, whenever the Company is
otherwise registering shares (except in certain circumstances).
The option grant has been approved by the Company&#146;s
shareholders.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Rights Offering is expected to take place
during the first half of calendar 2003 and will refinance the
subordinated debt incurred by the Company in connection with the
Tutor Time acquisition. As currently contemplated, 100,000
Rights Offering units (&#147;Units&#148;) will be offered,
consisting in the aggregate of $3.5&nbsp;million in principal
amount of subordinated debentures and a number of shares of
common stock that, based on the formula described below, with
the issuance of the new subordinated debentures, would allow
payment in full of the Subordinated Notes (including the
Additional Subordinated Notes) and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon. The offering price per share of the common
stock under the Rights Offering would be the four-week
volume-weighted average price of the common stock on The Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, prior to the commencement date of the offering;
provided, however, that if the one-week volume-weighted average
price of the common stock, calculated during the one-week period
immediately prior to the commencement date of the offering, was
more than 10% less than such four-week volume-weighted average
price, the offering price related to the common stock portion of
the Rights Offering will equal 110% of such one-week
volume-weighted average price. Subject to certain shareholder
ownership requirements, all common shareholders as of the Rights
Offering record date will be able to participate in the offering
and will be allowed to acquire Units on a pro rata basis. The
subordinated debentures will bear interest at 15%, have a
five-year maturity, and be redeemable by the Company at any time
at par, subject to restrictions under its senior lending
agreements. As indicated above, JP Acquisition Fund II, L.P., JP
Acquisition Fund III, L.P., and certain of their co-investors,
including Messrs.&nbsp;Jacobson, Morgan and Kellner, have
provided a commitment to purchase all Units not subscribed for
in the Rights Offering up to an aggregate amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes (including
the Additional Subordinated Notes) plus all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon.

then reimbursed by the developer. The Company has various legal
remedies available pursuant to the construction agreements to
minimize the risk of nonreimbursement. For the 40&nbsp;weeks
ended January&nbsp;3, 2003, and the year ended March&nbsp;29,
2002, the Company financed construction costs of
$0.0&nbsp;million and $0.9&nbsp;million, respectively, while
related repayments received under reimbursement agreements were
$0.0&nbsp;million and $2.0&nbsp;million, respectively.

maintain certain financial ratios and other financial
conditions. In addition, there are restrictions on the
incurrence of additional indebtedness, disposition of assets and
transactions with affiliates. At July&nbsp;19, 2002 and at
October&nbsp;11, 2002, the Company had not maintained minimum
consolidated EBITDA levels and had not provided timely reporting
as required by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The
Company&#146;s lender approved waivers to the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement for financial results for the quarter
ended October&nbsp;11, 2002. The Company&#146;s noncompliance
with the required consolidated EBITDA levels continued as of

revise the financial covenants (including measuring them on a
monthly basis) and to shorten the maturity of the line of credit
to July&nbsp;31, 2003. The Company is in compliance with the

amend this agreement prior to its maturity date, but no

<FONT size="2">As previously discussed, subordinated loans in
the aggregate amount of $14&nbsp;million were provided by a
group of lenders organized by Jacobson Partners to fund the
balance of the Tutor Time acquisition purchase price and to
provide related working capital. The Subordinated Notes are
subject to a Subordination Agreement in favor of Bank One, NA,
mature December&nbsp;31, 2004 and bear interest at 15% of which
7% is payable in cash, with the balance payable in kind by the
issuance of Additional Subordinated Notes ($0.5&nbsp;million
accrued and included in Subordinated Notes), with interest and
principal payable on the earlier of December&nbsp;31, 2004 or
such date on which the Company consummated the Rights Offering
(see Note 2), provided that interest on the Subordinated Notes
(including the Additional Subordinated Notes and interest
thereon) may be paid only to the extent the aggregate proceeds
of the Rights Offering exceeds $14&nbsp;million. If the Rights
Offering is not consummated, and the Company has not received
net cash proceeds (and/or cancelled Subordinated Notes) of at
least $7.5&nbsp;million from the issuance of common stock in
such Rights Offering (the &#147;Minimum Equity Amount&#148;), on
or before July&nbsp;19, 2003, then until the earlier of
December&nbsp;31, 2004 or the date on which the Company
consummates the Rights Offering and receives the Minimum Equity
Amount, all interest on the Subordinated Notes will be payable
by the issuance of Additional Subordinated Notes. Although
Jacobson Partners received no consideration for arranging this
financing, lenders included JP Acquisition Fund II, L.P. and JP
Acquisition Fund III, L.P., entities controlled and managed by
affiliates of Jacobson Partners (for an aggregate of
$10,479,154), and three directors of the Company (Mr. Jacobson,

<FONT size="2">During fiscal 2002, the Company decided not to
pursue opening three new build-to-suit centers after leases for
these centers had been signed with the developer of the centers.
The Company was subsequently sued by the developer for breach of
contract. This case was settled at the end of fiscal 2002, and a

these leases. A subsidiary of the Company is primarily or

The liability is approximately $99.0&nbsp;million related to
leases and $15.7&nbsp;million related to guarantees. The leases
have durations from 1-20&nbsp;years. The Company would be
required to pay the related lease obligations in the case of
default by the franchisee. Should the Company be required to
make payments under these leases, it may assume obligations for
operating the center. Should the center not be economically
viable, the Company will make provision for the lease
termination at that time. The Company has taken over operations
for a center previously operated by a franchisee as a result of
a default under the franchisee&#146;s lease and intends to
continue to operate this center. Other than with respect to the
foregoing center, the Company has not been notified that it will

Litigation is subject to many uncertainties; the outcome of

Chairman of the Board, is the managing general partner, to
provide management and financial consulting services. As part of
the consideration to be paid to, and to add further incentive
for such services, Jacobson Partners was granted stock options
to purchase 557,275 shares. Jacobson Partners has exercised
options totaling 294,117 shares at a cost of $2,500,000. The
remaining 263,158 shares expired in July 2002. Additionally,
Jacobson Partners receives an annual consulting fee in the
amount of $250,000, plus reimbursement of reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses. In connection with the Tutor Time
acquisition, Jacobson Partners was paid an advisory fee
consisting of $333,336 and the issuance of 175,438 shares, and
options were granted to certain related parties to acquire up to
400,000 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock (see

Total expenses incurred for Jacobson Partners (exclusive of the

Lived Asset Impairment</FONT></B>

<FONT size="2">During the second quarter of 2003, the Company
completed the implementation of SFAS&nbsp;142, <I>Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets</I>. Under SFAS&nbsp;142, goodwill is no
longer amortized. Instead, goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets are tested for impairment in accordance with
the provisions of SFAS&nbsp;142. In accordance with its
impairment policy, the Company employed a discounted cash flow
analysis in conducting its impairment tests for the year ended
March&nbsp;29, 2002. The Company completed its impairment test
and recorded an impairment loss of $5.0&nbsp;million (net of a
tax benefit of $0.9&nbsp;million) as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle. In addition, as a result of
continuing weakening economic conditions, the Company tested for
goodwill impairment as of October&nbsp;11, 2002, and recorded an
impairment loss during the second quarter of $4.2&nbsp;million.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142,
the Company did not amortize goodwill for the 40&nbsp;weeks
ended January&nbsp;3, 2003. If goodwill amortization had not
been recorded for the 40&nbsp;weeks ended January&nbsp;4, 2002,
net loss would have decreased $1.4&nbsp;million to an adjusted
net loss of ($0.2) million.

Learning Centers brand name, Tutor Time operates childcare
centers under the Tutor Time brand name and Franchise Operations
licenses and provides developmental and administrative support
to franchises operating under the Tutor Time brand name. The
accounting polices of the segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The
Company&#146;s reportable segments are reported separately
because the Company&#146;s chief operating decision maker uses
the segment information in determining the allocation of
resources among segments and appraising the performance of the
segments.

<FONT size="2">The Company has continued to experience operating
losses for the past six quarters. As described in Note&nbsp;7,
the Company had not maintained minimum consolidated EBITDA
levels required by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
through January&nbsp;3, 2003. The Company continues steps to
improve the profitability of its operations through pricing,
more effective labor management and expense control and efforts
aimed at boosting enrollment. These measures resulted in
improvements in operating results for the third quarter.

<FONT size="2">During third quarter 2003, the Company entered
into an interest rate swap contract to manage its exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates relating to the revolving line of
credit. Swap contracts fix the interest payments of floating
rate debt instruments. As of January&nbsp;3, 2003, a contract
representing $3.0&nbsp;million of notional amount was
outstanding with a maturity date of November, 2005. This
contract provides for the Company to pay interest at a fixed
rate of 3.02% in return for receiving interest at a floating
rate of 3&nbsp;month LIBOR, which is reset in three month
intervals. The fair value of interest rate swap agreements is
subject to changes in value due to changes in interest rates.
During the 40&nbsp;weeks ended January&nbsp;3, 2003, the Company
recognized a loss of $46,000 as a result of a decline in the
market value of the outstanding interest rate contract.

<FONT size="2">goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives will no longer be amortized, but will be
subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the
statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be
amortized over their useful lives. The Company completed its
impairment test during the second quarter of 2003 and recorded
an impairment loss of $5.0&nbsp;million as a cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle. In addition, as a result of
continuing weakening economic conditions, the Company tested for
goodwill impairment as of October&nbsp;11, 2002, and recorded an
impairment loss during the second quarter of $4.2&nbsp;million.

<FONT size="2">SFAS No.&nbsp;143, <I>Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations, </I>was issued in August 2001, and
addresses legal obligations (arising from laws, statutes,
contracts, etc.) that an entity must satisfy when disposing of
tangible, long-lived assets. The standard requires entities to
record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation in the period in which it is incurred. The Company is
evaluating the impact this Statement will have on its
consolidated financial statements and is anticipating the
adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;143 in the first quarter of Fiscal
2004.

<FONT size="2">SFAS No.&nbsp;144, <I>Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, </I>was issued in
July 2001, and addresses financial accounting and reporting for
the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement
supercedes SFAS No.&nbsp;121 on the same topic and establishes
an accounting model for the impairment of long-lived assets. The
Company employed a cash flow analysis in conducting its
impairment test. The Company completed its impairment test and
recorded an impairment loss of $3.5&nbsp;million during the
second quarter of 2003.

between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions
and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that
have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback

an amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;123 (Issued 12/02)</I>,

Statement No.&nbsp;123, <I>Accounting for Stock-Based

this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement

Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others: an interpretation
of FASB Statements No.&nbsp;5, 57, and 107 and rescission of

new disclosure and liability-recognition requirements for direct

initial measurement and recognition requirements of FIN&nbsp;45
are effective prospectively for guarantees issued or modified
after December&nbsp;31, 2002. However, the disclosure
requirements are effective for interim and annual financial
statement periods ending after December&nbsp;15, 2002. The
Company has adopted the disclosure provisions, and management
expects the full adoption of FIN&nbsp;45 will impact the way in
which subleases and lease guarantees related to franchise
agreements entered into after December&nbsp;31, 2002 will be
accounted for.

<P align="left">
<FONT size="2">We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Tutor Time Learning Systems, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the &#147;Company&#148;) as of December&nbsp;31,
2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders&#146; deficiency, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December&nbsp;31,
2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<FONT size="2">We conducted our audits in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our report.
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<FONT size="2">In our opinion, such consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December&nbsp;31, 2001
and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended
December&nbsp;31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

<P align="left">
<FONT size="2">As discussed in Note&nbsp;1, the Company has
filed for reorganization under Chapter&nbsp;11 of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the
consequences of the bankruptcy proceedings or plan for
liquidation. In particular, such consolidated financial
statements do not purport to show (a)&nbsp;as to assets, their
realizable value on a liquidation basis or their availability to
satisfy liabilities; (b)&nbsp;as to prepetition liabilities, the
amounts that may be allowed for claims or contingencies, or the
status and priority thereof; (c)&nbsp;as to stockholder
accounts, the effect of any changes that may be made in the
capitalization of the Company; or (d)&nbsp;as to operations, the
effect of any changes that may be made in its business.
</FONT>

<P align="left">
<FONT size="2">The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern. However, as discussed in
Note&nbsp;1, a substantial portion of the assets of the Company
were purchased by Childtime Learning Centers, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (&#147;Childtime&#148;) in July 2002 and,
subsequently, the Company filed a plan of liquidation for the
remaining portion of the net assets and the business not
purchased by Childtime. After approval of the plan of
liquidation by the Federal Bankruptcy Court, the Company will
liquidate its assets and cease all business activities. The
consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments
that might result from the outcome of the plan of liquidation.

<FONT size="2">As discussed in Note&nbsp;18 to the financial
statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for
real estate commission revenue and nonrefundable registration
and education fees in 2000.

select liabilities were purchased on July&nbsp;19, 2002 by TT

<FONT size="2">On July&nbsp;19, 2002, Childtime acquired
substantially all of the assets of the Company for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $22,400,000 plus the assumption
of certain liabilities. The acquisition was consummated pursuant
to an asset purchase agreement dated as of June&nbsp;28, 2002,
approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The assets acquired by
Childtime consisted of substantially all of the assets and
contract rights used by the Company in its child care
operations, which were comprised of 198 company-owned and
franchised child care centers operating in 23 states and
internationally. As of December&nbsp;31, 2001, the Company had a
shareholders&#146; deficiency of approximately
$89.6&nbsp;million. The liabilities of the Company as of
December&nbsp;31, 2001 do not reflect the claims made pursuant
to the Bankruptcy Court proceedings. Claims filed and the
allowed amounts related to the Bankruptcy Court proceedings
could differ significantly. The Company and/or its subsidiaries
are involved in various other lawsuits arising from operations.
Amounts were accrued for pending and potential litigation
related to various operations of the business but are not
intended to reflect the possible outcome of bankruptcy or
liquidation proceedings. As a result of the Filing, certain
lawsuits are stayed automatically under the Bankruptcy Code.

later than the end of the second quarter of 2003. Upon
completion of the approved liquidation plan, the Company will
cease all business activities.

No.&nbsp;142 prescribes that an impairment loss be measured as
the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the

the evaluation of goodwill for impairment using a

No.&nbsp;142 requires the completion of the first step of the

goodwill) no later than six&nbsp;months (June&nbsp;30, 2002 for
the Company) after initial adoption. If there is an indication
of impairment, the second step (comparing the implied fair value
of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that
goodwill) must be completed by the end of the fiscal year. There
was no impairment of goodwill upon adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;142.

franchised and supervised the real estate development of
education based child care learning centers under the name
&#147;Tutor Time Child Care Learning Centers&#148;
(&#147;Learning Centers&#148;). As of December&nbsp;31, 2001,
Tutor Time operated and franchised a total of 217 Learning

located in Indonesia, two in Hong Kong and one in Canada. Of the
217&nbsp;centers in operation as of December&nbsp;31, 2001, 133
were franchised and 84 were Company-owned. The Company had an
additional 58&nbsp;centers in development at that date. The
Company was also engaged in the operation of a private school
located in Boca Raton, Florida (&#147;Boca Prep&#148;). Boca
Prep commenced operations in 1997, and in 1998, the Company
decided to dispose of its private school operations. The
divestiture of this operation was completed in August 1999. Cash
used in connection with the divestiture of Boca Prep amounted to
approximately $2.6&nbsp;million in 1999.

pursuant to SFAS 121. During 2001, as a result of the actual and
planned closing, abandonment, and sale of certain Company
centers and assets subsequent to fiscal year end, the Company
determined goodwill and fixed assets were impaired. The amount
of the impairment charge considered the undiscounted future cash
flows and the subsequent sale price of the assets to Childtime
(see Note&nbsp;1) relative to the carrying value of the assets.
As such, the Company recorded a charge of $16.4&nbsp;million and

Note&nbsp;1, the Company filed for bankruptcy on May&nbsp;10,
2002. As of December&nbsp;31, 2001, the Company has established
an accrual of approximately $6.9&nbsp;million for the
anticipated costs in connection with pending litigation and
related anticipated legal fees for defending such actions. The

lieu of a portion of the 1999 bonus plan to certain employees

into in March 2000, a common stock purchase warrant was issued
to the lender for the purchase of 875,259 common shares at a
purchase price of $0.01 per share and expires in 2005. The fair
value of the warrant issued to the lender of $3.1&nbsp;million
was recorded as a reduction to the amount payable under the
credit facility and is being amortized over the life of the
credit facility (see Notes&nbsp;17 and 19 for additional
information related to common stock warrants).

receiving a building permit. The new method of revenue
recognition was adopted to account for the change in focus with
respect to the Company&#146;s real estate development philosophy

Relief Under Chapter&nbsp;11 and Subsequent Event</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On May&nbsp;10, 2002, Tutor Time Learning
Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries (the &#147;Company&#148;) filed
(the &#147;Filing&#148;) voluntary petitions with the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida
(the &#147;Bankruptcy Court&#148;) under Chapter&nbsp;11 of
Title&nbsp;11 of the United States Code (the &#147;Bankruptcy
Code&#148;). The case numbers are 02-23563-BKC-PGH through
02-23576-BKC-PGH.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On July&nbsp;19, 2002, TT Acquisition, LLC, a
wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Childtime Learning Centers,
Inc. (&#147;Childtime&#148;) acquired substantially all of the
assets of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $22.8&nbsp;million including acquisition costs,
plus the assumption of certain liabilities. The acquisition was
consummated pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated as of
June&nbsp;28, 2002, approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The assets
acquired by Childtime consisted of substantially all of the
assets and contract rights used by the Company in its child care
operations, which were comprised of 198 company-owned and
franchised child care centers operating in 23&nbsp;states and
internationally. As of June&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company had a
shareholders&#146; deficiency of approximately
$94.6&nbsp;million. The liabilities of the Company as of
June&nbsp;30, 2002 do not reflect the claims made pursuant to
the Bankruptcy Court proceedings. Claims filed and the allowed
amounts related to the Bankruptcy Court proceedings could differ
significantly. The Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved
in various other lawsuits arising from operations. Amounts were
accrued for pending and potential litigation related to various
operations of the business but are not intended to reflect the
possible outcome of bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings. As a
result of the Filing, certain lawsuits are stayed automatically
under the Bankruptcy Code. The Company incurred approximately
$405,000 in costs associated with the Filing during the six
months ended June&nbsp;30, 2002.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In October 2002, the Company filed its disclosure
statement and plan for liquidation. A Liquidating Trustee was
appointed to oversee the orderly liquidation of the
Company&#146;s assets. After allowing for objections to claims,
the Company anticipates the liquidation will be completed no
later than the end of the second quarter 2003, at which time the
Company will cease all business activities. The Liquidation Plan
was approved and affirmed at a confirmation hearing on
December&nbsp;16, 2002.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Since the Liquidation Plan was approved
subsequent to June&nbsp;30, 2002, the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations,
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
ordinary course of business.

<FONT size="2">The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the
consequences of the bankruptcy proceedings. In particular, such
condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to
show (a)&nbsp;as to assets, their realizable value on a
liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities;
(b)&nbsp;as to prepetition liabilities, the amounts that may be
allowed for claims or contingencies, or the status and priority
thereof; (c)&nbsp;as to stockholder accounts, the effect of any
changes that may be made in the capitalization of the Company;
or (d)&nbsp;as to operations, the effect of any changes that may
be made in its business.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Substantially all of the Company&#146;s
prepetition debt is in default due to the Filing and the
Company&#146;s inability to meet certain required financial
covenants. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect the classification of all debt as a
current liability.

of Consolidation</FONT></I></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<B><I><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.&nbsp;Use
of Estimates</FONT></I></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United Sates of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the
condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates contained in the condensed consolidated
financial statements include the allowance for doubtful
accounts, the estimate for lease guarantee liabilities, and
litigation exposures.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly,
include all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of
the periods represented to fairly present the Company&#146;s
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, for
the interim periods presented. Management&#146;s adjustments
have not been audited or reviewed by an independent certified
public accountants.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">These statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2001. The
results for the 6&nbsp;months ended June&nbsp;30, 2002, are not
necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

and Other Assets</FONT></I></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Intangibles and other assets consist primarily of
the excess cost over the fair values of the net assets of
reacquired territories, franchises and Learning Centers
(goodwill), security deposits and deferred commissions. Goodwill
arising from the reacquired franchises and territories and
Learning Centers is no longer amortized but rather tested at
least annually for impairment. Deferred commissions are the
direct costs of franchises and are expensed simultaneously with
the recognition of deferred fees (see Note 6).

<FONT size="2">Deferred franchise and related fees represent
deferred franchise and site development fees, which are
recognized as revenue when the franchise center receives a
certificate of occupancy. Real estate commissions for
Company-owned centers are deferred and amortized over the
primary term of the related leases. Real estate commissions for
franchised centers are deferred and recognized upon receipt of
the building permit.

Royalties are based on a percentage of the franchisees&#146;
revenue and are accrued as earned. Real estate commissions for
franchise Learning Centers are recognized when the building
permit is received. Real estate commissions for Company-owned
Learning Centers are deferred and amortized against rent expense
over the primary lease term. Other fees are recognized when the
service is provided. Territorial fees, or the exclusive right to
develop the Tutor Time name within a specific international
geographic area, are recognized upon the execution of the
agreement unless collectibility is not reasonably assured at
which time such revenue is recognized as the cash is received.

Taxes</FONT></I></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company provides for income taxes in
accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;109, <I>Accounting for Income
Taxes</I>, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement carrying values and tax bases of
assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the
year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

<P align="left">
<B><I><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g.&nbsp;Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements</FONT></I></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued SFAS No. 141, <I>Business
Combinations</I>, and SFAS No.&nbsp;142, <I>Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets</I>, effective for fiscal years beginning
after December&nbsp;15, 2001. SFAS No. 141 requires, among other
things, that the purchase method of accounting for business
combinations be used for all business combinations initiated
after June&nbsp;30, 2001. SFAS No.&nbsp;142 addresses the
accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent
to their acquisition. SFAS No.&nbsp;142 requires, among other
things, that goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible
assets no longer be amortized and that such assets be tested for
possible impairment at least annually. The Company discontinued
the amortization of goodwill as of January&nbsp;1, 2002.
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are
required to be tested for impairment in the first interim period
in which SFAS No.&nbsp;142 is initially applied (June&nbsp;30,
2002, for the Company). SFAS No.&nbsp;142 prescribes that an
impairment loss be measured as the difference between the
carrying amount and fair value of the asset. In addition, SFAS
No.&nbsp;142 sets forth guidelines for the evaluation of
goodwill for impairment using a&nbsp;&#147;two-step&#148;
transitional goodwill impairment test. SFAS No.&nbsp;142
requires the completion of the first step of the transitional
goodwill impairment test (whereby the fair value of reporting
units is compared to carrying value, including goodwill) no
later than six months (June&nbsp;30, 2002 for the Company) after
initial adoption. If there is an indication of impairment, the
second step (comparing the implied fair value of the reporting
unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill) must be
completed by the end of the fiscal year. There was no impairment
of goodwill upon adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;142.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;143,
<I>Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations</I>. SFAS
No.&nbsp;143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.
SFAS No.&nbsp;143 requires that the fair value of a liability
for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period
in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value
can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are
capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived
asset. SFAS No.&nbsp;143 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2002 with
early adoption permitted. SFAS No.&nbsp;143 is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company&#146;s consolidated
financial statements.

adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;144 effective January&nbsp;1, 2002. The
impact of this statement has not had a&nbsp;material effect on
the Company&#146;s condensed consolidated financial statements.

<FONT size="2">SFAS No.&nbsp;146, <I>Accounting for Costs

was issued in December 2002. This Statement amends FASB
Statement No.&nbsp;123, <I>Accounting for Stock-Based

for a&nbsp;voluntary change to the fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition,
this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of
Statement&nbsp;123 to require prominent disclosures in both
annual and interim financial statements about the method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect
of the method used on reported. SFAS No.&nbsp;148 is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company&#146;s

    lender for the purchase of 875,259 common shares at a purchase
    price of $.01 per share. The warrant expires in 2005 and is
    being amortized over the term of the credit facility. The fair
    value of the warrant was recorded as a reduction of debt and an
    increase in additional paid-in capital. The lender has a first
    priority security interest on all the assets of the Company. The
    financing agreement has certain restrictions and financial
    covenants which must be maintained by the Company, including,
    among others, achieving certain quarterly levels of EBITDA. As
    of June&nbsp;30, 2002 and December&nbsp;31, 2001, the Company
    was not in compliance with certain financial covenants of the
    agreement.

<FONT size="2">The Company is involved extensively in lawsuits
with various vendors, customers and landlords. Certain
consolidated subsidiaries are guarantors on approximately 110
leases operated by franchisees with annual rentals per center
averaging approximately $155,000 with lease terms of
approximately 12-15&nbsp;years. As discussed in Note 1, the
Company filed for bankruptcy on May&nbsp;10, 2002. As of
June&nbsp;30, 2002, the Company has established an accrual of
approximately $6.6&nbsp;million for the anticipated costs in
connection with pending litigation and related anticipated legal
fees for defending such actions. The amount of the accrual
represents the estimated losses incurred by the Company
resulting from lawsuits filed against the Company but does not
purport to reflect the outcome of the bankruptcy or liquidation
proceedings.

(the &#147;Notes&#148;) and (2)&nbsp;a number of shares of

subscription price less $35 principal amount of the Notes)

fractional rights will be issued. Each Right also grants
Shareholders an over-subscription privilege to purchase
additional Units that are not purchased by other Shareholders
pursuant to their basic subscription privilege. In addition, the
Rights are being distributed at no cost to Shareholders. Each
right will have such additional terms as described in the

an opinion to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of
the Company as to the fairness to the Shareholders, from a
financial point of view, as of July&nbsp;19, 2002 of the

                      STANDBY SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         STANDBY SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT dated as of February 20, 2003
(this "Agreement") among Childtime Learning Centers, Inc., a Michigan
corporation (the "Company"), Childtime Childcare, Inc., an Illinois corporation
("CCI"), JP Acquisition Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("JPAF
II"), JP Acquisition Fund III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("JPAF
III"), and the investors named on Schedule I hereto (JPAF II, JPAF III and such
investors being referred to collectively herein as the "Purchasers").

         WHEREAS, on July 19, 2002, the Company, through TT Acquisition LLC, a
Michigan limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
acquired substantially all of the assets (the "Acquisition") of Tutor Time
Learning Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation that filed for chapter 11
bankruptcy protection in May 2002;

         WHEREAS, in connection with the Acquisition, CCI issued $14,000,000 of
subordinated debt to the Purchasers (the "Outstanding Subordinated Debt");

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Outstanding Subordinated Debt, a
portion of the interest thereon has been paid, and is and shall be payable, in
kind through the issuance of "Additional Subordinated Notes" (as defined in the
Outstanding Subordinated Debt) (the principal amount of and interest on such
Additional Subordinated Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest on the
Outstanding Subordinated Debt which is or becomes payable through the issuance
of Additional Subordinated Notes being referred to collectively herein as
"Deferred Interest");

         WHEREAS, the Company intends to undertake a rights offering (the
"Rights Offering") pursuant to which the Company will offer to the Company's
stockholders (the "Stockholders") the right to purchase an aggregate of 100,000
units (the "Units"), consisting of (i) shares (the "Offered Shares") of the
Company's common stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), and (ii) subordinated
debt to be issued by the Company (the "Offered Subordinated Debt" and, together
with the Offered Shares, the "Offered Securities"), for an aggregate purchase
price (the "Rights Offering Proceeds") at least equal to or exceeding the
Standby Commitment Limit (as defined in Section 1.1(d)), pursuant to the terms
set forth in Section 1.3(b);

         WHEREAS, each Unit offered pursuant to the Rights Offering will consist
of an amount of Offered Shares (the "Unit Share Amount") and $35 principal
amount of Offered Subordinated Debt;

         WHEREAS, the Unit Share Amount will be determined as provided herein;

         WHEREAS, each Unit will be offered for a purchase price equal to the
sum of (a) the product of the Rights Offering Share Purchase Price multiplied by
the Unit Share Amount and (b) $35;

WHEREAS, all of the Rights Offering Proceeds are to be used to prepay principal
of and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Outstanding Subordinated Debt,
including Deferred

<PAGE>
Interest, to the extent that the holders of the Outstanding Subordinated Debt
are not required, pursuant to the terms hereof, to use such Outstanding
Subordinated Debt (including Deferred Interest) to purchase Excess Securities
(as defined below);

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Rights Offering, each of the
Stockholders will have the right to purchase its pro rata share of the Offered
Securities and will be afforded an oversubscription right;

         WHEREAS, in the event that the Company elects to undertake the Rights
Offering, the Company will file one or more registration statements on Form S-1,
or such other form with respect to which the Rights Offering may be registered
(the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") covering the offering and sale of the Units and the underlying
Offered Securities to the Stockholders;

         WHEREAS, substantially all of the Purchasers will be Stockholders as of
the record date for the Rights Offering, and, as such, will have the right to
participate in the Rights Offering; and

         WHEREAS, in the event that the Company undertakes the Rights Offering
and one or more Stockholders decline to purchase any Units or elect to purchase
less than their respective pro rata shares of the Units, the Purchasers agree to
subscribe for an amount of such unpurchased underlying Offered Securities having
an aggregate purchase price not exceeding the Standby Commitment Limit in
accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained
herein and for other good and valuable consideration set forth herein, the
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound,
the Company, CCI and the Purchasers agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                     PURCHASE AND SALE OF OFFERED SECURITIES

         1.1 Purchase and Sale of Offered Shares.

         (a) In the event that the Stockholders do not subscribe for and
purchase all of the Units on or before the expiration date of the Rights
Offering (all such Units not subscribed for and purchased by the Stockholders in
the Rights Offering being referred to herein as the "Unsubscribed Units"),
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall issue
and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers, jointly and severally, shall
purchase from the Company, the Excess Shares (as defined below).

         (b) For purposes of this Agreement, "Excess Shares" shall mean an
amount of Offered Shares equal to the product of the total number of
Unsubscribed Units and the Unit Share Amount; provided, however, the number of
Excess Shares shall not exceed the product of (i) the quotient of the Standby
Commitment Limit divided by the Unit Price (as defined below), such quotient
being rounded down to the next lowest whole number, if necessary, to eliminate
any fraction, multiplied by (ii) the Unit Share Amount (all the foregoing
amounts to be calculated as of the Closing Date).


                                       2


<PAGE>
         (c) The purchase price payable for each of the Excess Shares shall be
equal to the Rights Offering Share Purchase Price.

         (d) The "Standby Commitment Limit" shall mean the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Deferred
Interest) on, the Outstanding Subordinated Debt, calculated as of the date which
is one business day following the closing date of the Rights Offering (excluding
any such principal or interest used to pay for Units in connection with the
exercise of any rights to purchase Units received under the Rights Offering).

         1.2 Purchase and Sale of Offered Subordinated Debt.

         (a) In the event that the Stockholders do not subscribe for and
purchase all of the Units on or before the expiration date of the Rights
Offering, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company
shall issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers, jointly and
severally, shall purchase from the Company, the Excess Subordinated Debt (as
defined below).

         (b) For purposes of this Agreement, "Excess Subordinated Debt" shall
mean a principal amount of subordinated debt of the Company (containing terms
and provisions substantially identical to the Outstanding Subordinated Debt,
except that it shall be due in 2008, its subordination terms shall differ and
interest on the Excess Subordinated Debt shall accrue at the rate of 15% per
annum, payable quarterly in cash only, all as more fully described in the
"Prospectus" (as defined in Section 2.1(h))) equal to the product of the total
number of Unsubscribed Units and $35; provided, however, that the aggregate
principal amount of the Excess Subordinated Debt shall not exceed the product of
(i) the quotient of the Standby Commitment Limit divided by the Unit Price (as
defined below), such quotient being rounded down to the next lowest whole
number, if necessary, to eliminate any fraction, multiplied by (ii) $35 (all the
foregoing amounts to be calculated as of the Closing Date).

         (c) The purchase price payable for the Excess Subordinated Debt shall
be equal to the principal amount thereof.

         1.3 General Purchase and Sale Terms.

         (a) The Company shall consummate the Rights Offering on or before July
18, 2003. If the Rights Offering is not consummated within such time period, the
Purchasers' obligations under this Agreement shall be null and void and of no
force or legal effect. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the
Purchasers' obligations hereunder shall terminate on July 28, 2003 in the event
that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated by such
date.

         (b) The Company agrees that with respect to the Rights Offering:

                  (i)      The number of Units to be offered to the Stockholders
                           pursuant to the Rights Offering shall be 100,000.

                  (ii)     Each Unit offered pursuant to the Rights Offering
                           will consist of an amount of Offered Shares equal to
                           the Unit Share Amount and $35

                                       3

<PAGE>
                           principal amount of Offered Subordinated Debt, and
                           each Unit will be offered for a purchase price equal
                           to the sum of (a) the product of the Rights Offering
                           Share Purchase Price multiplied by the Unit Share
                           Amount and (b) $35 (the "Unit Price").

                  (iii)    The imputed per share purchase price of the Offered
                           Shares as part of the Units (the "Rights Offering
                           Share Purchase Price") shall be equal to the
                           Volume-Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock for
                           the 28 calendar day period immediately preceding the
                           date on which the Registration Statement is declared
                           effective by the Commission (the "Effective Date")
                           (such average price being the "Four-Week Average");
                           provided, however, that if the Volume-Weighted
                           Average Price of the Common Stock for the 7 calendar
                           day period immediately preceding the Effective Date
                           (the "One-Week Average") is more than 10% less than
                           the Four-Week Average, then the Rights Offering Share
                           Purchase Price shall be a price equal to 110% of the
                           One-Week Average.

                  (iv)     The "Unit Share Amount" shall be an amount of Offered
                           Shares equal to the quotient of (A) (x) the Standby
                           Commitment Limit divided by 100,000 minus (y) $35,
                           divided by (B) the Rights Offering Share Purchase
                           Price, rounded up to the next highest whole number,
                           if necessary, to eliminate any fraction.

                  (v)      "Volume-Weighted Average Price" shall mean, with
                           respect to the Common Stock over a given period, an
                           amount equal to (1) the sum of the products for each
                           reported sale of Common Stock within such period on
                           the primary United States securities market on which
                           the Common Stock is traded of (x) the reported sale
                           price for each such reported sale multiplied by (y)
                           the number of shares sold in such reported sale,
                           divided by (2) the total number of shares of Common
                           Stock sold pursuant to all such reported sales.

         (c) The aggregate purchase price paid for the Excess Shares and the
Excess Subordinated Debt shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the
difference between (i) the Standby Commitment Limit, minus (without duplication)
(ii) any of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Subordinated Debt,
Deferred Interest, or accrued and unpaid interest on the Outstanding
Subordinated Debt which does not constitute Deferred Interest used to pay for

under the Rights Offering.

         (d) Any of the Purchasers (each, an "Assigning Purchaser") shall have
the right, in its sole discretion, to assign, in whole or in part, its
obligation to purchase Excess Shares and Excess Subordinated Debt (collectively,
"Excess Securities") hereunder to any other Purchaser or any affiliate or

         (a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article
IV hereof, the purchase of Excess Securities shall be made at a closing (the
"Closing") to be held at the offices Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, 180 Maiden
Lane, New York, New York at 11:00 a.m., one business day following the closing
date of the Rights Offering or at such time and on such date as the Purchasers
and the Company may mutually agree in writing (such date, the "Closing Date").

         (b) At the Closing (i) the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers (A)
stock certificates representing the Excess Shares purchased by the Purchasers
hereunder and (B) notes in a principal amount equal to the Excess Subordinated
Debt purchased by the Purchasers hereunder and (ii) the Purchasers shall deliver
to the Company the aggregate purchase price for (A) the Excess Shares equal to
the product of (1) the number of Excess Shares purchased hereunder and (2) the
Rights Offering Share Purchase Price, and (B) the Excess Subordinated Debt equal
to the principal amount thereof, in each case by presenting Outstanding
Subordinated Debt and Additional Subordinated Notes such that the sum of the
aggregate principal amount of and the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest
(including Deferred Interest) on such debt and notes is at least equal to the
amount of such purchase price. To the extent that the outstanding principal
amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Deferred Interest) on, the
Outstanding Subordinated Debt exceeds the aggregate purchase price for the
Excess Securities and is therefore not used to pay in full the purchase price of
the Excess Securities, CCI shall at the Closing, upon presentation by the
Purchasers of Outstanding Subordinated Debt and Additional Subordinated Notes
representing such excess, pay in full in cash such portion of the outstanding
principal amount of the Outstanding Subordinated Debt, together with all accrued
and unpaid interest (including Deferred Interest) thereon through the Closing
Date, and upon such payment, all such Outstanding Subordinated Debt and
Additional Subordinated Notes shall be cancelled and marked as paid in full.

                                   ARTICLE II

              REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY AND CCI

         2.1 The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as
follows:

         (a) Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Michigan and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate
its properties and assets, to carry on its business as now and heretofore
conducted, to issue and sell the Excess Shares and to issue and sell the Excess
Subordinated Debt. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership
of its properties or the nature of its business make such qualification
necessary and where a failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse
effect on the results of operations, business, assets, prospects or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (a
"Material Adverse Effect").

         (b) Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
of the Company and its stockholders, and




                                       5

<PAGE>





this Agreement, when duly executed and delivered by the Purchasers, will
constitute a valid and legally binding instrument of the Company enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
principles.

         (c) Issuance of Excess Shares. The Excess Shares have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and when issued in
accordance with such authorization and delivered by the Company against payment
therefor will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of
all liens, encumbrances and rights of first refusal or any kind; and the
Stockholders have no preemptive rights with respect to the Excess Shares. The
Excess Shares will be free of restrictions on transfer except for restrictions
under applicable federal and state securities laws and Section 8-402 of the
Uniform Commercial Code.

         (d) Issuance of Excess Subordinated Debt. The indenture and indenture
supplement pursuant to which the Excess Subordinated Debt will be issued
(collectively, the "Indenture") when duly executed and delivered by the Company
(assuming due execution and delivery by the trustee thereunder (the "Trustee"))
will constitute a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms. The Excess Subordinated Debt has been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and, when
issued in accordance with such authorization and the terms of the Indenture
(assuming due authentication by the Trustee) and delivered by the Company
against payment therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, the Excess
Subordinated Debt will be validly issued and will constitute valid and legally
binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with
its terms; and the Stockholders have no preemptive rights with respect to the
Excess Subordinated Debt. The Excess Subordinated Debt will be free of
restrictions on transfer except for restrictions under applicable federal and
state securities laws.

         (e) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Indenture, the consummation by the Company and CCI of the transactions
contemplated in such agreements and the compliance by the Company and CCI with
the terms of such agreements do not and will not conflict with, or result in a
breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a
default under, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, or any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or
instrument to which the Company or its subsidiaries is a party or by which any
of their respective properties or assets are bound, with such exceptions as
would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or any applicable law, rule,
regulation, judgment, order or decree of any government, governmental
instrumentality or court having jurisdiction over the Company or its
subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets; and no consent,
approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any
such governmental instrumentality or court is required for the valid
authorization, execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Agreement and the issuance of the Excess Shares and the Excess Subordinated
Debt, except such as have been obtained under the rules and regulations of the
Commission and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or
qualifications as may be required under state securities or "blue sky" laws.

stock of the Company as of the date hereof is set forth in Schedule 2.1(f). All

the terms of this Agreement, all Excess Shares will be, duly authorized and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. There are no treasury shares held

stock of the Company are entitled to preemptive or similar rights, nor is any
holder of the capital stock of the Company entitled to preemptive or similar
rights arising out of any agreement or understanding with the Company by virtue
of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as set forth
in Schedule 2.1(f), as of the date of this Agreement, there are no outstanding
options, warrants, rights to subscribe to, calls, written commitments or, to the
knowledge of the Company, oral commitments relating to, securities, rights or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any person any right
to subscribe for or acquire any shares of Common Stock, or contracts,
commitments, understandings, written arrangements or, to the knowledge of the
Company, oral arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue
additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible or
exchangeable into shares of Common Stock.

         (g) SEC Documents; Financial Statements; No Adverse Change. The Company
has filed all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the three years preceding the date hereof (the
foregoing materials being collectively referred to herein as the "SEC
Documents"). Since January 9, 2003, the Company has filed all of its SEC
Documents on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of
filing and has filed any such SEC Documents prior to the expiration of any such
extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all
material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC
Documents, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein not misleading. All material agreements to
which the Company or its subsidiaries is a party or to which the property or
assets of the Company or its subsidiaries are subject have been filed as
exhibits to the SEC Documents as required; none of the Company or its
subsidiaries is in breach of any agreement where such breach would reasonably be
expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents and which
will be included in the Registration Statement and Prospectus referred to below
comply or will comply, as the case may be, in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the
Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and/or
effectiveness, as the case may be. Such financial statements have been or will
be, as the case may be, prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods
involved, except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or
the notes thereto, and fairly present or will fairly present, as the case may
be, in all material respects the financial position of the Company, as of and
for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the
periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
year-end audit adjustments. Since the date of the financial statements included
in the Company's last filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended
March 29, 2002, there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had,
or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect which has not
been specifically disclosed in the SEC Documents or to the Purchasers by the
Company. The Company last filed audited financial statements with respect to



                                       7

<PAGE>
its financial condition with the Commission on June 26, 2002, and has not
received any comments from the Commission in respect thereof.


         (h) Registration Statement. When the Registration Statement becomes
effective, the Registration Statement and its prospectus portion, as then
amended (the "Prospectus"), will (i) comply as to form in all material respects
with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and the rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) conform in all
respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
of the Commission, and neither of such documents will include any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except that the foregoing does not apply to statements or omissions in either of
such documents based upon written information furnished to the Company by the
Purchasers specifically for use therein. The descriptions of this Agreement, the
Excess Securities and the Indenture that will be contained in the Prospectus
shall be correct in all material respects.

         2.2 CCI represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows:

         (a) Organization and Qualification. CCI is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Illinois and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate
its properties and assets, to carry on its business as now and heretofore
conducted. CCI is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is
in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of its properties
or the nature of its business make such qualification necessary and where a
failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on the results
of operations, business, assets, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise)
of CCI (a "CCI Material Adverse Effect").

         (b) Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by CCI and the consummation by CCI of the transactions contemplated
hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of CCI and
its sole stockholder, and this Agreement, when duly executed and delivered by
the Purchasers, will constitute a valid and legally binding instrument of CCI
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general
equity principles.

         (c) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
consummation by the Company and CCI of the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement and the compliance by the Company and CCI with the terms of this
Agreement do not and will not conflict with, or result in a breach or violation
of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws of CCI, or any indenture, mortgage, deed
of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which CCI is a
party or by which any of its properties or assets are bound, with such
exceptions as would not have a CCI Material Adverse Effect, or any applicable
law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any government, governmental
instrumentality or court having jurisdiction over CCI or any of its properties
or assets; and no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or
qualification of or with any such governmental instrumentality or court is
required for the valid authorization, execution,

obtained under the rules and regulations of the Commission and such consents,
approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required
under state securities or "blue sky" laws.

other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement for the registration of the Offered Securities, as
originally filed or any amendment thereof, or the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact necessary in order to make statements made therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or
(iii) in whole or in part upon any inaccuracy in the representations and
warranties of the Company or CCI contained herein; or (iv) in whole or in part
upon any failure of the Company or CCI to perform its obligations hereunder or
under law; or (v) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act
by such Purchaser in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Offered
Securities or the Rights Offering, and which is included as part of or referred
to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon
any matter covered by clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, provided that the
Company and CCI will not be liable under this clause (v) to the extent that such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or
failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Purchaser through its
willful misconduct or gross negligence; and provided, however, that the Company
and CCI will not be liable in any such case covered by clauses (i), (ii), (iii),
(iv) or (v) above to the extent but only to the extent that any such loss,
liability, claim, damage, action or expense


                                       13


<PAGE>





arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information relating to such Purchaser furnished to the
Company by such Purchaser, or at its direction, for use therein. This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability, which the Company and CCI may
otherwise have, including under this Agreement.

         6.2 Purchasers' Indemnification. Each Purchaser severally agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, CCI and each of their directors,
officers, employees and agents against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages,
actions and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to
reasonable attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement
of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for
the registration of the Offered Securities, as originally filed or any amendment
thereof, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; or (ii) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
necessary in order to make statements made therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) the
Purchaser's willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of such
Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement; or (iv) the breach of the
representations and warranties made herein by the Purchaser, but, in respect of
any claim for indemnification arising out of matters covered by clauses (i) and
(ii) above, only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or
expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information relating to such Purchaser furnished
to the Company by the Purchaser, or at its direction, expressly for use therein.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability, which each
Purchaser may otherwise have, including under this Agreement.

         6.3 Additional Indemnification. The Company and CCI, jointly and
severally, will indemnify and hold each Purchaser, and all affiliates, partners,
directors, agents, employees and controlling persons of such Purchaser, harmless
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including, without
limitation, in connection with any action, proceeding or investigation brought
by or against such Purchaser, including by stockholders of the Company) in
connection with or as a result of any matter referred to in this Agreement,
including, without limitation, for any misrepresentation by the Company or CCI,
for breaches of representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and
for any breach, non-compliance or nonfulfillment by the Company or CCI of any
covenant, agreement or undertaking to be complied with or performed by it
contained in or pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that it is
finally judicially determined that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Purchaser. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to
such Purchaser or is insufficient to hold such Purchaser harmless, then the
Company and CCI, jointly and severally, shall contribute to the amount paid




                                       14

<PAGE>





or payable by such Purchaser as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the Company and CCI, on the one hand, and such Purchaser, on the other hand,
with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant
equitable considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution
obligations of the Company and CCI under this paragraph shall be in addition to
any liability which the Company and CCI may otherwise have, shall extend upon
the same terms and conditions to any affiliate of such Purchaser and the
partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the
case may be, of such Purchaser and any such affiliate, and shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives of the Company, CCI, such Purchaser, or any such affiliate. The
Company and CCI also agree that neither such Purchaser nor any of such
affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall
have any liability to the Company, CCI or any person or entity asserting claims
on behalf of or in right of the Company or CCI in connection with or as a result
of any matter referred to in this Agreement except to the extent that it is
finally judicially determined that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses incurred by the Company and CCI result solely from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of, or knowing breach of this Agreement by, such
Purchaser.

         6.4 Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under this Article VI or any affiliate, partners, directors,
agents, employees and controlling persons, as the case may be, of notice of any
claim or other commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be
sought, such indemnified party will notify each party against whom
indemnification is to be sought in writing of the receipt or commencement
thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it
from any liability or obligation that it may have under this Article VI or
otherwise unless the failure to notify promptly shall actually prejudice or harm
the indemnifying party and in such case, such failure will not in any event
relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations other than the
indemnification obligation provided in this Article VI). The indemnifying party
shall have the right to assume the defense of such claim or action (including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties and
the payment of fees and expenses of such counsel). The indemnified party shall
cooperate with the indemnifying party and such party's counsel in the defense of
such claim or action. The indemnifying party shall not in connection with any
one such claim or action or separate but substantially similar related claims or
actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm of attorneys for all of the indemnified parties unless the defense
of one indemnified party is unique or separate from that of another indemnified
party or one or more legal defenses are available to an indemnified party but
not to other indemnified parties subject to the same claim or action. In the
event the indemnifying party does not promptly assume the defense of a claim or
action, the indemnified parties shall have the right to employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties, at their expense, to defend
such claim or action. The indemnified party shall not admit any liability with
respect to the claim or action or settle, compromise, pay or discharge the same
without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party so long as the
indemnifying party is reasonably contesting or defending the same in good faith.
The indemnifying party shall not compromise, settle or discharge any claim or
action without the indemnified party's consent, as applicable, which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld, unless there is no finding or admission of
any violation of any law against the indemnified party and the sole relief is
monetary damages paid


                                       15


<PAGE>





in full by the indemnifying party. Any right to trial by jury with respect to
any action or proceeding arising in connection with or as a result of any matter
referred to in this Agreement is hereby waived by the parties hereto. The
provisions of this Article VI shall survive any termination or completion of
this Agreement.

                                  Legal Opinion

         1. Incorporation and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Michigan and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and
operate its properties and assets, to carry on its business as described in the
Prospectus and to issue and sell the Excess Shares and the Excess Subordinated
Debt. CCI is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Illinois and has all requisite corporate
power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on
its business as described in the Prospectus. Each of the Company and CCI is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in
each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property, except where the failure
to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect or CCI Material
Adverse Effect, respectively.

         2. Authorization.

                  a. Standby Purchase Agreement. Each of the Company and CCI has
the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and comply with its
obligations under the terms of the Standby Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement"). The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by each
of the Company and CCI have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action of the Company and CCI (including, if required, their respective
shareholders). The Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company
and CCI and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company and CCI
enforceable against the Company and CCI in accordance with its terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
and to general equity principles (regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding at law or in equity), except as enforceability of the indemnity and
contribution agreements of the Company and CCI therein may be limited by
considerations of public policy.

                  b. Indenture. The Company has the requisite corporate power
and authority to enter into and comply with its obligations under the terms of
the Indenture. The execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture by the
Company have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the
Company (including, if required, its shareholders). The Indenture has been duly
executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution
and delivery by the Trustee, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
and to general equity principles (regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding at law or in equity), except as enforceability of the indemnity and
contribution agreements of the Company therein may be limited by considerations
of public policy.

                  c. Notes. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and comply with its obligations under the terms of the
notes representing the Excess Subordinated Debt (the "Notes"). The execution,
delivery and performance of the Notes by the

<PAGE>




Company have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the
Company (including, if required, its shareholders). When executed and
authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered to the
Purchasers pursuant to the terms of and in exchange for the consideration set
forth in the Agreement, the Notes will constitute the valid and binding
obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with
their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to
or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles (regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity), free of statutory
restrictions on transfer imposed by any statute or, to our actual knowledge, by
any Material Agreement (as defined in paragraph 3 below), except for transfer
restrictions under applicable federal and state securities laws, and will be
entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

                  d. Excess Shares. The Excess Shares have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and when issued in accordance
with such authorization and delivered by the Company against payment therefor in
accordance with the Agreement will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free and clear of all adverse claims, including rights of first
refusal, of which we have actual knowledge (based upon our review of the
Material Agreements and the Company's minute book); and no shareholders of the
Company have preemptive rights with respect to the Excess Shares arising under
the Michigan Business Corporation Act. The Excess Shares will be free of
statutory restrictions on transfer imposed by any statute or, to our actual
knowledge, by any Material Agreement, except for transfer restrictions under
applicable federal and state securities law and Section 8-402 of the Uniform
Commercial Code.

         3. No Conflict. The execution and delivery by each of the Company and
CCI of the Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes (collectively, the
"Transaction Documents"), to which it is a party, and the compliance by each of
the Company and CCI with the terms of the Transaction Documents to which it is a
party do not and will not (a) violate the articles of incorporation or bylaws of
the Company or CCI, (b) result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or
CCI is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets are
bound, and which is included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (a
"Material Agreement"), with such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse
Effect or CCI Material Adverse Effect, respectively, (c) violate any law, rule
or regulation which is applicable to the Company or CCI, or (d) violate any of
the Company's or CCI's existing obligations under any judgment, order or decree
of any government, governmental instrumentality or court having jurisdiction
over the Company or CCI or any of their respective properties or assets and
naming the Company or CCI, which, to our actual knowledge, is binding on the
Company or CCI or their respective properties or assets; and no consent,
approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any
such governmental instrumentality or court is required for the valid
authorization, execution, delivery and performance by the Company or CCI of the
Transaction Documents to which they are a party and the issuance of the Excess
Shares and the Excess Subordinated Debt, except for such consents, approvals,
authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state
securities or "blue sky" laws or the bylaws or rules of the NASD.

         4. Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company as of
the date hereof is set forth in the Registration Statement. Based solely on a
review of the Company's minute books and certificates of the officers of the
Company and of the Company's transfer agent, (a) the issued and outstanding
capital stock of the Company as of the date hereof is set forth in the
Registration Statement and (b) all issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully
paid and nonassessable, and conform in all material respects to the description
thereof, to the extent constituting statements of law or legal conclusions,
under the caption "Description of Our Capital Stock" in the Prospectus.

         5. No Registration. The offer, issuance and sale of the Excess Shares
and of the Excess Subordinated Debt pursuant to the Agreement and the Indenture,
respectively, are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.

         6. Nasdaq Listing. All of the Excess Shares have been listed for
trading on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. To our actual knowledge, there is no
action or proceeding, pending or threatened, to delist the Excess Shares from
The Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

         7. Trust Indenture Act. The Indenture has been duly qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act.

         8. Descriptions of Securities and Agreements. The Excess Shares, the
Excess Subordinated Debt, the Agreement and the Indenture conform in all
material respects to the descriptions thereof, to the extent constituting
statements of law or legal conclusions, under the captions "Description of Our
Capital Stock," "Description of the Subordinated Notes" and "Plan of
Distribution" in the Prospectus.

         9. The Registration Statement. The Registration Statement has become
effective under the Securities Act and, to our actual knowledge, (a) no stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued
under the Securities Act, and (b) no proceedings for that purpose have been
instituted or are threatened, pending or contemplated by the SEC. To our actual
knowledge, no party has the right under any of the Material Agreements to
include securities held by such party in the Registration Statement, and there
is no party possessing the right to demand that the Company register securities
owned by such parties, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus. Except as to financial statements and schedules and other financial
and statistical data (including any pro forma financial information) and tables
included therein and the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification of the
Trustee on Form T-1, as to which we express no opinion, the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, as supplemented, comply as to form in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act.

         10. Tax Disclosure. The statements in the Prospectus under the caption
"Federal Income Tax Considerations," insofar as they constitute statements of
law or legal conclusions, fairly present accurate in all material respects
summaries of the applicable law.

         We have participated in conferences with officers and representatives
of the Company and representatives of the independent public accountants for the
Company, at which the

<PAGE>




contents of the Prospectus and related matters were discussed. Although we have
not undertaken to determine independently, and therefore, we do not assume
responsibility, explicitly or implicitly, for the accuracy and completeness of
the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, and we
cannot provide assurance that the procedures described in the preceding sentence
would necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the following
comments, during the course of the above-described procedures, no facts have
come to our attention that cause us to believe that the Registration Statement
(other than financial, quantitative and statistical data and calculations and
financial statements and schedules, as to which we express no view) at the time
it became effective including all information deemed to be part of the
Registration Statement (other than financial, quantitative and statistical data
and calculations and financial statements and schedules, as to which we express
no view) at the time of effectiveness contained an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the
Prospectus (other than financial, quantitative and statistical data and
calculations and financial statements and schedules, as to which we express no
view) as of its date and as of the Closing Date contained or contains an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

      SECTION 2.04. Authentication and Dating.

      At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon
authenticate and make available for delivery said Securities to or upon the
written order of the Company, signed by any two of its Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer, President, Vice Presidents, Treasurer, Assistant
Treasurer,


                                      -10-
<PAGE>
Controller or Assistant Controller, Secretary or Assistant Secretary, without
any further action by the Company hereunder. In authenticating such Securities,
and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation
to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to
Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

            (1)   a copy of any Board Resolution or Resolutions relating thereto
                  and, if applicable, an appropriate record of any action taken
                  pursuant to such resolution, in each case certified by the
                  Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

            (2)   either (x) an executed supplemental indenture, if any; or (y)
                  an Officers' Certificate, in either case setting forth the
                  form and terms of the Securities as required pursuant to
                  Sections 2.01 and 2.03, respectively;

            (3)   an Opinion of Counsel which shall state:

                  (a) that the form of such Securities has been established by
                  or pursuant to a Board Resolution or by a supplemental
                  indenture as permitted by Section 2.01 in conformity with the
                  provisions of this Indenture;

                  (b) that the terms of such Securities have been established by
                  or pursuant to a Board Resolution or by a supplemental
                  indenture as permitted by Section 2.03 in conformity with the
                  provisions of this Indenture;

                  (c) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by
                  the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and
                  subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of
                  Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations
                  of the Company;

                  (d) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution
                  and delivery by the Company of the Securities have been
                  complied with in all material respects and that authentication
                  and delivery of the Securities by the Trustee will not violate
                  the terms of the Indenture; and

                  (e) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request;
                  and

            (4)   an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by
                  Section 13.06.

      The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver
any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel,
determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good
faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal
liability to existing holders.

      SECTION 2.05. Date and Denomination of Securities.

      The Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities without coupons
and in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.03.
In the absence of any such specification with respect to the Securities of any
series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in the denominations of
$35 and any increments thereof. The Securities shall be numbered, lettered, or
otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plans as the
officers of the Company executing the same may determine with the approval of
the Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof.

      Every Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, shall bear
interest, if any, from such date and shall be payable on such dates, in each
case, as contemplated by Section 2.03. The interest installment on any Security
that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date for Securities of that series shall be paid to the Person in whose
name said Security is registered at the close of business on the regular record
date for such interest installment. In the event that any Security of a
particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption
date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment
Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Security will be
paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security as provided in Section
3.02.

      Any interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Security of the same
series (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable
to the registered holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having
been such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at
its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:

            (1)   Except as may be set forth in a supplemental indenture or an
                  Officers' Certificate pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, the
                  Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on
                  Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are
                  registered at the close of business on a special record date
                  for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be
                  fixed in the following manner: the Company shall notify the
                  Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
                  proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the
                  proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall
                  deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
                  aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
                  Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to
                  the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed
                  payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
                  benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as
                  in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a
                  special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest
                  which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to
                  the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days
                  after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
                  payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
                  special record date and, in the name and at the


                                      -12-
<PAGE>
                  expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed
                  payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date
                  therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each
                  Securityholder at his or her address as it appears in the
                  Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such special
                  record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
                  Interest and the special record date therefor having been
                  mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to
                  the Persons in whose names such Securities are registered on
                  such special record date and shall be no longer payable
                  pursuant to the following clause (2).

            (2)   Except as may be set forth in a supplemental indenture or an
                  Officers' Certificate pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, the
                  Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any
                  Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with
                  the requirements of any securities exchange on which such
                  Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
                  required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the
                  Company to the Trustees of the proposed payment pursuant to
                  this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed
                  practicable by the Trustee.

      Unless otherwise set forth in one or more indentures supplemental hereto
or any Officers' Certificate establishing the terms of any series of Securities
pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term "regular record date" as used in this
Section with respect to a series of Securities with respect to any Interest
Payment Date for such series shall mean either the fifteenth day of the month in
which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section
2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the last day of a
month, or the first day of the month in which an Interest Payment Date
established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such
Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date
is a Business Day.

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

      SECTION 2.06. Execution of Securities.

      The Securities shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by
the manual or facsimile signature of its Chief Executive Officer, President or
one of its Vice Presidents and may be attested by the manual or facsimile
signature of its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries, under its
corporate seal which may be affixed thereto or printed, engraved or otherwise
reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise, and which need not be attested.
Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, manually executed by the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee or
the Authenticating Agent upon any Security executed by the Company shall be
conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly


                                      -13-
<PAGE>
authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

      In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the
Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Securities so signed shall
have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent, or disposed of by the Company, such Securities nevertheless may be
authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such
Securities had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Security
may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of
the execution of such Security, shall be the proper officers of the Company,
although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not
such an officer.

      SECTION 2.07. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Securities.

      Subject to Section 2.03, Securities of any series may be exchanged for a
like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series of other
authorized denominations. Securities to be exchanged may be surrendered at the
principal corporate trust office of the Trustee or at any office or agency to be
maintained by the Company for such purpose as provided in Section 3.02, and the
Company shall execute, the Company or the Trustee shall register and the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery
in exchange therefor the Security or Securities which the Securityholder making
the exchange shall be entitled to receive. Upon due presentment for registration
of transfer of any Security of any series at the principal corporate trust
office of the Trustee or at any office or agency of the Company maintained for
such purpose as provided in Section 3.02, the Company shall execute, the Company
or the Trustee shall register and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and make available for delivery in the name of the transferee or
transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series for a like aggregate
principal amount. Registration or registration of transfer of any Security by
the Trustee or by any agent of the Company appointed pursuant to Section 3.02,
and delivery of such Security, shall be deemed to complete the registration or
registration of transfer of such Security.

      The Company or the Trustee shall keep, at the Designated Office of the
Trustee, a register for each series of Securities issued hereunder (each a
"Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company or the Trustee shall register all Securities and shall
register the transfer of all Securities as this Article Two provides, which
(subject to Section 2.11) shall be the only method of effecting a transfer of
Securities. Such register shall be in written form or in any other form capable
of being converted into written form within a reasonable time.

      All Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange or
payment shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent duly executed by, the holder or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.


                                      -14-
<PAGE>
      No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Securities, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith.

      The Company or the Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register a
transfer of (a) any Security for a period of 15 days next preceding the date of
selection of Securities of such series for redemption, or (b) any Securities of
any series selected, called or being called for redemption in whole or in part,
except in the case of any Securities of any series to be redeemed in part, the
portion thereof not so to be redeemed.

      SECTION 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.

      In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be
destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company shall execute, and upon written request
by the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of
the same series bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange
and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution
for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a
substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security
or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in
every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to
the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

      The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the
same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company.
Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith.
In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature or has been called
for redemption in full shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen,
the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the
payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated
Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory
to the Company and to the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such
Security and of the ownership thereof.

      Every substituted Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 2.08 by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed,
lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the
Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at
any time, shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Indenture,
and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued
hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition
that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the foregoing provisions are
exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all other rights or
remedies


                                      -15-
<PAGE>
notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary
with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other
securities without their surrender.

      SECTION 2.09. Temporary Securities.

      Subject to Section 2.03, pending the preparation of definitive Securities
of any series the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
make available for delivery temporary Securities (typed, printed or
lithographed). Temporary Securities shall be issuable in any authorized
denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities but
with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for
temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such
temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the
Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with
the same effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay the
Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent
definitive Securities and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such
series may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at the principal corporate trust
office of the Trustee or at any office or agency maintained by the Company for
such purpose as provided in Section 3.02, and the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such
temporary Securities a like aggregate principal amount of such definitive
Securities. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and
without any charge therefor except that in case of any such exchange involving a
registration of transfer the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all
respects be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Indenture and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of
the same series authenticated and delivered hereunder.

      SECTION 2.10. Cancellation of Securities Paid, etc.

      All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption,
exchange, conversion or registration of transfer, shall, if surrendered to the
Company or any paying agent, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled
by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent, shall be
promptly canceled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof
except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. All
Securities canceled by any Authenticating Agent shall be delivered to the
Trustee. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Securities in accordance with
its then customary procedures. If the Company shall acquire any of the
Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until
the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.

      SECTION 2.11. Global Securities.

            (a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.03 that the
Securities of a particular series are to be issued as a Global Security, then
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section
2.04, authenticate and deliver, a Global Security that (i) shall represent, and
shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of,
all of the outstanding Securities of such series, (ii) shall be registered in
the name of


                                      -16-
<PAGE>
the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the
Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's instruction and (iv) shall bear a
legend substantially to the following effect:

      Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
      The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the
      Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment,
      and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in
      such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC
      (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is
      requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE,
      OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL
      inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest
      herein.

            (b) Subject to Section 2.11(c), notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.07, the Global Security of a series may be transferred, in whole but
not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.07, only to another nominee
of the Depositary for such series, or to a successor Depositary for such series
selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor
Depositary.

            (c) A Global Security shall be exchangeable for Securities in
registered certificated form if (i) the Depositary (x) notifies the Company that
it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Security and
the Company thereupon fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days or
(y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii)
the Company in its sole discretion elects to cause the issuance of the
Securities in certificated form or (iii) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default or any event which after notice or lapse of time
or both would be an Event of Default. In any such event the Company will execute
and, subject to Section 2.07, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers'
Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company that such event has
occurred, will authenticate and make available for delivery the Securities of
such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized
denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global
Security. Upon the exchange of the Global Security for such Securities in
definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the
Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive
registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security or beneficial
interests therein pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in such
names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the
Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so
registered.

      In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Security may be exchanged
for certificated Securities upon request but only upon at least 20 days prior
written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with
customary procedures.


                                      -17-
<PAGE>
      So long as the system of registration described in this Section 2.11 is in
effect, (a) the records of the Depositary will be determinative for all purposes
and (b) neither the Company, the Trustee nor any paying agent, Security
registrar or transfer agent for such Securities will have any responsibility or
liability for (i) any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on
account of owners of beneficial interests in the Securities of such series, (ii)
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
interests, (iii) receipt of notices, voting and requesting or directing the
Trustee to take, or not to take, or consenting to, certain actions hereunder, or
(iv) the records and procedures of the Depositary.

      SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers.

      The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices
of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders; provided that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will notify the
Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers within three (3) business days after
such change or, if later, after becoming aware of such change.

                                 ARTICLE THREE
                       PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

      SECTION 3.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

      The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each of the Securities of that
series at the place, at the respective times and in the manner provided in such
Securities. Except with respect to Global Securities, each installment of
interest on the Securities of any series may be paid by mailing checks for such
interest payable to the order of the holders of Securities of such series
entitled thereto as they appear on the registry books of the Company.

      SECTION 3.02. Offices for Notices and Payments, etc.

      So long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Company will
maintain in New York, New York, or Detroit, Michigan, an office or agency where
the Securities of each series may be presented for payment, an office or agency
where the Securities of that series may be presented for registration of
transfer and for exchange as in this Indenture provided and an office or agency
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of
that series or of this Indenture may be served. The Company will give to the
Trustee written notice of the location of any such office or agency and of any
change of location thereof. Until otherwise designated from time to time by the
Company in a notice to the Trustee, or specified as contemplated by Section
2.03, any such office or agency for all of the above purposes shall be the
office or agency of the Trustee. In case the Company shall fail to maintain any
such office or agency in New York, New York, or Detroit, Michigan, or shall fail
to give such notice of the location


                                      -18-
<PAGE>
or of any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands may be made
and notices may be served at the principal corporate trust office of the
Trustee.

      In addition to any such office or agency, the Company may from time to
time designate one or more offices or agencies outside New York, New York, or
Detroit, Michigan, where the Securities may be presented for registration of
transfer and for exchange in the manner provided in this Indenture, and the
Company may from time to time rescind such designation, as the Company may deem
desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain
any such office or agency in New York, New York, or Detroit, Michigan, for the
purposes above mentioned. The Company will give to the Trustee prompt written
notice of any such designation or rescission thereof.

      SECTION 3.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee's Office.

      The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office
of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.10, a Trustee, so
that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

      SECTION 3.04. Provision as to Paying Agent.

            (a) If the Company shall appoint a paying agent other than the
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, it will cause such paying
agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provision of this Section 3.04,

            (1)   that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the
                  payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest,
                  if any, on the Securities of such series (whether such sums
                  have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on
                  the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the
                  holders of the Securities of such series; and

            (2)   that it will give the Trustee immediate written notice of any
                  failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the
                  Securities of such series) to make any payment of the
                  principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the
                  Securities of such series when the same shall be due and
                  payable.

            (b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or
before each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if
any, on the Securities of any series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for
the benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series a sum sufficient to
pay such principal, premium or interest so becoming due and will immediately
notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any
failure by the Company (or by any other obligor under the Securities of such
series) to make any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on the Securities of such series when the same shall become
due and payable.


                                      -19-

            (c) Anything in this Section 3.04 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and
discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or
for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in
trust for any such series by the Trustee or any paying agent hereunder, as
required by this Section 3.04, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the
trusts herein contained.

            (d) Anything in this Section 3.04 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 3.04 is subject
to Sections 11.03 and 11.04.

      SECTION 3.05. Certificate to Trustee.

      The Company will deliver to the Trustee on or before 120 days after the
end of each fiscal year, so long as Securities of any series are outstanding
hereunder, an Officers' Certificate stating that in the course of the
performance by the signers of their duties as officers of the Company they would
normally have knowledge of any default by the Company in the performance of any
covenants contained herein, stating whether or not they have knowledge of any
such default and, if so, specifying each such default of which the signers have
knowledge and the nature thereof and otherwise complying with Section 314(a)(4)
of the Trust Indenture Act.

      The Company shall, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding,
deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon becoming aware of any default or Event of
Default in respect of the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement
or condition contained in this Indenture or the Securities, but in any event not
later than ten Business Days after the occurrence thereof, an Officers'
Certificate specifying such default or Event of Default and what action the
Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

      SECTION 3.06. Compliance with Consolidation Provisions.

      The Company will not, while any of the Securities remain outstanding,
consolidate with, or merge into, any other Person or permit any other Person to
merge into the Company, or sell or convey all or substantially all of its
property to any other Person unless the provisions of Article Ten hereof are
complied with.

      SECTION 3.07. Calculation of Original Issue Discount.

      In the event there are any Original Issue Discount Securities issued and
outstanding, the Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each
calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of any original issue
discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on outstanding
Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other information relating
to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

      The Company shall provide to the Trustee on a timely basis such
information as the Trustee requires to enable the Trustee to prepare and file
any form required to be submitted by


                                      -20-

the Company with the Internal Revenue Service and the Holders of the Securities
relating to original issue discount, including, without limitation, Form

                                  ARTICLE FOUR
                    SECURITYHOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE
                             COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE

      SECTION 4.01. Securityholders' Lists.

      The Company covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Trustee:

            (a) on a quarterly basis on each regular record date for each series
of Securities, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of
the names and addresses of the Securityholders of such series of Securities as
of such record date (and on dates to be determined pursuant to Section 2.03 for
non-interest bearing securities in each year); and

            (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing,
within 30 days after the receipt by the Company, of any such request, a list of
similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time
such list is furnished;

except that no such lists need be furnished so long as the Trustee is in
possession thereof by reason of its acting as Security registrar for such
series.

      SECTION 4.02. Preservation and Disclosure of Lists.

            (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the
holders of each series of Securities (1) contained in the most recent list
furnished to it as provided in Section 4.01 or (2) received by it in the
capacity of Securities registrar (if so acting) hereunder. The Trustee may
destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.01 upon receipt of a
new list so furnished.

            (b) In case three or more holders of Securities of any series
(hereinafter referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee and
furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a
Security of such series for a period of at least six months preceding the date
of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to
communicate with other holders of Securities of such series or with holders of
all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such
Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other
communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall
within five business days after the receipt of such application, at its
election, either:

            (1)   afford such applicants access to the information preserved at
                  the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
                  subsection (a) of this Section 4.02, or


                                      -21-
<PAGE>
            (2)   inform such applicants as to the approximate number of holders
                  of such series or all Securities, as the case may be, whose
                  names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the
                  time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
                  subsection (a) of this Section 4.02, and as to the approximate
                  cost of mailing to such Securityholders the form of proxy or
                  other communication, if any, specified in such application. If
                  the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access
                  to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written
                  request of such applicants, mail to each Securityholder of
                  such series or to all Securityholders, as the case may be,
                  whose name and address appear in the information preserved at
                  the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
                  subsection (a) of this Section 4.02 a copy of the form of
                  proxy or other communication which is specified in such
                  request with reasonable promptness after a tender to the
                  Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or
                  provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of
                  mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the
                  Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the
                  Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed,
                  a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the
                  Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests
                  of the holders of Securities of such series or all Securities,
                  as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable
                  law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such
                  opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing
                  upon the objections specified in the written statement so
                  filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such
                  objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one
                  or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after
                  notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so
                  sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring,
                  the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such
                  Securityholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of
                  such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the
                  Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such
                  applicants respecting their application.

            (c) Each and every holder of Securities, by receiving and holding
the same, agrees with Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the
Trustee nor any paying agent shall be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the holders
of Securities in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this
Section 4.02, regardless of the source from which such information was derived,
and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any
material pursuant to a request made under said subsection (b).

      SECTION 4.03. Reports by Company.

            (a) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee,
within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the
Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and
other reports, including annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as


                                      -22-
<PAGE>
the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe), which
the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Company is not required to file
information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such sections, then to
file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and
regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the
supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be
required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act in respect of a security
listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed
from time to time in such rules and regulations.

            (b) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee and
the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from
time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and
reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and
covenants provided for in this Indenture as may be required from time to time by
such rules and regulations.

            (c) The Company covenants and agrees that, following the
qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, it will comply
with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

            (d) 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 4.04. Reports by the Trustee.

            (a) The Trustee shall transmit to Securityholders such reports
concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided
pursuant thereto. If required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the
Trustee shall, within 60 days after each May 15 following the date of this
Indenture, deliver to Securityholders a brief report, dated as of such May 15,
which complies with the provisions of such Section 313(a).

            (b) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such
transmission to Securityholders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock
exchange, if any, upon which the Securities are listed, with the Commission and
with the Company. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the
Securities are listed on any stock exchange.

                   REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS

      SECTION 5.01. Events of Default.

      The occurrence of any of the following events with respect to Securities
of any series or such other events as may be established with respect to the
Securities of that series as


                                      -23-
<PAGE>
contemplated by Section 2.03 hereof (whatever the reason for such event and
whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law
or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or
regulation of any administrative or governmental body) shall constitute an
"Event of Default":

            (a) default in the payment of any interest upon any Securities of
that series or any other Securities when it becomes due and payable, and
continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

            (b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal of

redemption, by declaration of acceleration or otherwise; or

            (c) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or
warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a
default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section
specifically dealt with and other than those set forth exclusively in terms of
any particular series of Securities established as contemplated in this
Indenture), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 30 days
after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by
the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities a written notice specifying such
default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice
is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

            (d) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree
or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Material Subsidiary in an
involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or any
Material Subsidiary or for any substantial part of their respective properties,
or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of their respective affairs and such
decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 90
consecutive days; or

            (e) the Company or any Material Subsidiary shall commence a
voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law
now or hereafter in effect, shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in
an involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of
or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial
part of their respective properties, or shall make any general assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay their respective debts
as they become due.

      If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the
Company or any Material Subsidiary specified in Section 5.01(d) or (e) hereof),
occurs and is continuing, then, except as set forth in the next succeeding
sentence, unless the principal of all of the Securities of such series shall
have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series
then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by Securityholders) (the "Acceleration Notice"), may declare
the entire principal (or, if the


                                      -24-
<PAGE>
Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion
of the principal amount as may be specified under the terms of that series) of
all Securities of that series and the interest and premiums accrued thereon, if
any, together with any premium otherwise payable pursuant to the terms of such
Securities to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the
same shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, until such time as all Senior Indebtedness shall have
been paid in full in cash and the Bank One Credit Agreement, all commitments to
lend or otherwise extend credit under the Bank One Credit Agreement and any and
all letters of credit issued pursuant thereto shall have expired or been
irrevocably terminated, neither the Trustee nor the holders of Securities shall
have the right to accelerate the maturity of the Securities as a result of an
Event of Default specified in Sections 5.01(a), (b) or (c). If an Event of
Default specified in Section 5.01 (d) or (e) occurs, the principal of and
accrued interest on all Securities shall become immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or
Securityholder.

      The foregoing paragraph, however, is subject to the condition that if, at
any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified under the terms
thereof) of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the case
may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or
decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as
hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a
sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the
Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and the
principal of and premium, if any, on any and all Securities of such series (or
of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise
than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any,
and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable
law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of
interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount
Securities) specified in the Securities of such series (or at the respective
rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the Securities, as the case may
be) to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be
sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor
Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each
predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and if any
and all Events of Default under the Indenture (other than the non-payment of the
principal of the Securities which shall have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration), shall have been cured, waived or otherwise
remedied as provided herein -- then and in every such case the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series (or of
all the Securities, as the case may be) then outstanding, by written notice to
the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to that
series (or with respect to all Securities, as the case may be, in such case,
treated as a single class) and rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or
shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent
thereon.

      In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this
Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because
of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been
determined adversely to the Trustee, then


                                      -25-
<PAGE>
and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the
Securities shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights
hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and
the holders of the Securities shall continue as though no such proceeding had
occurred.

      Within 30 days after the Trustee receives an Acceleration Notice from
Securityholders with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall
mail to all of the other Securityholders of that series, as the names and
addresses of such holders appear upon the Security Register, notice of the
giving of such Acceleration Notice, together with a copy thereof, unless such
Acceleration Notice shall have been retracted, rescinded or annulled before the
giving of such notice.

      SECTION 5.02. Payment of Securities on Default; Suit Therefor.

      The Company covenants that:

            (a) in case of default in the payment of any installment of interest
upon any of the Securities of any series as and when the same shall become due
and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of three
Business Days, or

            (b) in case of default in the payment of the principal of or
premium, if any, on any of the Securities of any series as and when the same
shall have become due and payable, whether at maturity of the Securities of that
series or upon redemption or by declaration or otherwise;

then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the amount that then
shall have become due and payable on all such Securities of that series for
principal and premium, if any, or interest, or both, as the case may be, with
interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that
payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue
installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of
Original Issue Discount Securities) borne by the Securities of that series; and,
in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the
Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities
incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad
faith.

      In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall
be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in
equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any
such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such
judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor on such
Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Company or any other obligor on such Securities wherever situated the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable.

      In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the
reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of any
series under the Bankruptcy Law, or


                                      -26-
<PAGE>
any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been
appointed for the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the case
of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other
obligor upon the Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of
the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the
principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as
therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section
5.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or
otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal
and interest (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified under the
terms of that series) owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such
series and, in case of any judicial proceedings, 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 reasonable compensation to
the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys
and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and
all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and all other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06) and of the Securityholders allowed
in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the
Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such
other obligor, unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on
behalf of the holders of the Securities or any series in any election of a
trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or
other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar
functions in comparable proceedings, and to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the
same after the deduction of its charges and expenses; and any receiver, assignee
or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the
Securityholders 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
Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to
cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their
respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities
incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and
all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06.

      Nothing herein contained shall be construed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Securities of any series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such
proceeding.

      All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or
under any of the Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities, or the production thereof on any trial or
other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by
the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and
any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the
Securities.


                                      -27-
<PAGE>
      In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings
involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the
Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders
of the Securities, and it shall not be necessary to make any holders of the
Securities parties to any such proceedings.

      SECTION 5.03. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee.

      Any moneys collected by the Trustee or otherwise distributable in respect
of the Company's obligations under this Indenture shall be applied in the
following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution
of such moneys, upon presentation of the several Securities in respect of which
moneys have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially
paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

            First: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection applicable
      to such series and reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents,
      attorneys and counsel, and of all other expenses and liabilities incurred,
      and all advances, if any, made, by the Trustee in accordance with the
      provisions of this Indenture; and all amounts due the Trustee under
      Section 6.06;

            Second: To the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company if
      and to the extent required by Article Fifteen;

            Third: In case the principal of the outstanding Securities in
      respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become due and
      be unpaid, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon
      Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any), and
      interest on the Securities of such series, in respect of which or for the
      benefit of which money has been collected, ratably, without preference or
      priority of any kind, according to the amounts due on such Securities for
      principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and

            Fourth: To the Company.

      SECTION 5.04. Proceedings by Securityholders.

            (a) No holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by
virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any
suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to
this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless (i) such holder previously shall have given to the
Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof
with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default,
as hereinbefore provided; (ii) the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of that series then outstanding shall have
made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (iii) such holder or holders
shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require
against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby;
(iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer
of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding,
and (v) during such 60 day period the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal


                                      -28-
<PAGE>
amount of the Securities of that series shall not have given the Trustee a
direction inconsistent with the request; it being understood and intended, and
being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security with every
other taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of
Securities of any series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue
of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of any other holder of Securities, or to obtain or seek to
obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any
right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities of the applicable
series.

      Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the right
of any holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (premium,
if any) and interest, if any, on such Security, on or after the same shall have
become due and payable, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder
and by accepting a Security hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and
covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such series with every
other such taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of
Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by
virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of the holders of any other such Securities, or to obtain
or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to
enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and
for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities of such
series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section,
each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief
as can be given either at law or in equity.

      SECTION 5.05. Proceedings by Trustee.

      In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion
proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture
(including its rights as Trustee) by such appropriate judicial proceedings as
the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights,
either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or
otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement
contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in
this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the
Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

      SECTION 5.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing.

      Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.08, all powers and remedies
given by this Article Five to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other
powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities,
by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance
of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise
established with respect to such series, and no delay or omission of the Trustee
or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall
impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such
default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section
5.04, every power and remedy given by this Article Five or by law to the Trustee
or to


                                      -29-
<PAGE>
the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.

      SECTION 5.07. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority
of Securityholders.

      Subject to the last paragraph of Section 6.01 and Section 6.02(d), the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any
series affected at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time,
method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, in each case
with respect to such series of Securities; provided, however, that (subject to
the provisions of Section 6.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the Trustee shall determine that the action so
directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the holders not taking part in such
direction or if the Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action
or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good
faith shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve
the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to any declaration accelerating the
maturity of any series of the Securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time outstanding may on
behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past
default or Event of Default including any default established pursuant to
Section 2.03 and its consequences except a default (a) in the payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities, (b) in
respect of covenants or provisions hereof which cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the holder of each Security affected, or (c) in respect
of the covenants contained in Section 3.06. Upon any such waiver, the default
covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture
and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series
(or of all Securities, as the case may be) shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall
have been waived as permitted by this Section 5.07, such default or Event of
Default shall for all purposes of the Securities of that series (or of all
Securities, as the case may be) and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured
and to be not continuing.

      SECTION 5.08. Notice of Defaults.

      Within 90 days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received
written notice of the occurrence of a default with respect to the Securities of
any series, the Trustee shall mail to all Securityholders of that series, as the
names and addresses of such holders appear upon the Security Register, notice of
all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee, unless such
defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term
"defaults" for the purpose of this Section 5.08 being hereby defined to be the
events specified in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 5.01, not
including periods of grace, if any, provided for therein, and irrespective of
the giving of written notice specified in clause (c) of Section 5.01 and
(pursuant to Section 2.03(8)) any events specified in any indentures
supplemental hereto or Officers' Certificate providing for the initial issuance
of securities of such series, not including periods of grace); provided,
however, that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of,


                                      -30-
<PAGE>
premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of such series, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the
board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors
and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of such
series; and provided further, that in the case of any default of the character
specified in Section 5.01(c) no such notice to Securityholders of such series
shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof but shall be
given within 90 days after such occurrence.

      SECTION 5.09. Undertaking to Pay Costs.

      All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Security by
such holder's acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action
taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but
the provisions of this Section 5.09 shall not apply to any suit instituted by
the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of
Securityholders of any series, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in
principal amount of the Securities of that series outstanding, or to any suit
instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security against the
Company on or after the same shall have become due and payable.

                                  ARTICLE SIX
                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

      SECTION 6.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.

      With respect to the holders of any series of Securities issued hereunder,
the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to
securities of that series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of
Default which may have occurred, with respect to securities of that series,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Indenture or any supplemental indenture with respect to such
series. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series
has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) of which a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee shall exercise such of
the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture or any supplemental
indenture with respect to such series, and, in the case of a default by the
issuer, shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs.

      No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own willful misconduct, except that:


                                      -31-
<PAGE>
            (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default
with respect to that series which may have occurred:

            (1)   the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to
                  Securities of a series shall be determined solely by the
                  express provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental
                  indenture with respect to such series, and the Trustee shall
                  not be liable except for the performance of such duties and
                  obligations with respect to such series as are specifically
                  set forth in this Indenture or any supplemental indenture with
                  respect to such series, and no implied covenants or
                  obligations shall be read into this Indenture or any
                  supplemental indenture with respect to such series against the
                  Trustee; and

            (2)   in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the
                  Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
                  statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
                  therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
                  Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture;
                  but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by
                  any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished
                  to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine
                  the same to determine whether or not they conform to the
                  requirements of this Indenture;

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

            (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken
or omitted to be taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the direction of
the Securityholders pursuant to Section 5.07, relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

      None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the
repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the
terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not
reasonably assured to it.

      SECTION 6.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, etc.

      Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01:

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


                                      -32-
<PAGE>
            (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned
herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (unless other
evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any Board
Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

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

            (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or
direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee
security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

            (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion
or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; nothing contained
herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a series of the Securities
(that has not been cured or waived) of which a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has actual knowledge, to exercise with respect to Securities of that
series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

            (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond,
debenture, coupon or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do
so by the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of the series affected thereby; provided, however,
that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs,
expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the
Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a
condition to so proceeding, provided, however, the Trustee, in its discretion,
may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it
may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises
of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the
Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by
reason of such inquiry or investigation;

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

<PAGE>
            (h) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged
with knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee shall have received from the Company or any other obligor upon
the Securities or from any holder written notice thereof at the Designated
Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this
Indenture;

            (i) 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;

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

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

            (l) the permissive right of the Trustee to take any action under
this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty to so act.

      SECTION 6.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, etc.

      The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except in the
certificate of authentication of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent) shall
be taken as the statements of the Company only, and the Trustee and the
Authenticating Agent assume no responsibility for the correctness of the same.
The Trustee and the Authenticating Agent make no representations as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee and
the Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by
the Company of any Securities or the proceeds of any Securities authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture.

      SECTION 6.04. Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agents, Transfer
                    Agents or Registrar May Own Securities.

      The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent or any paying agent or any
transfer agent or any Security registrar, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee (subject, however, to Section 6.08 hereof),
Authenticating Agent, paying agent, transfer agent or Security registrar.

      SECTION 6.05. Moneys to be Held in Trust.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 11.04 and Article Fifteen, all moneys
received by the Trustee or any paying agent shall, until used or applied as
herein provided, be held in trust for the purpose for which they were received,
but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law. The Trustee shall invest all moneys received by the Trustee, until used or
applied as provided herein, in accordance with the directions of the Company.
The Trustee and any paying agent shall be under no liability for interest on any
money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the
Company. Subject to the provisions of Article Fifteen, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such
moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the written order of the Company,
signed by the Chief Executive Officer, the President or a Vice President or the
Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Controller or an Assistant Controller
of the Company.

      SECTION 6.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee.

      The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation as shall be agreed to in
writing between the Company and the Trustee (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust), and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for
all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture or any
supplemental indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses
and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ)
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its gross
negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify each of the
Trustee or any predecessor Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and
employees) for, and to hold it (and them) harmless against, any and all loss,
damage, claim, liability or expense including taxes (other than taxes based on
the income of the Trustee) incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the
part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust or the performance of its duties hereunder,
including the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing the Company's
indemnification obligations hereunder and of defending itself against any claim
of liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.06 to
compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for
expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness
hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that
of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee
as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on particular Securities.

      In addition to and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee
under any provision hereof, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services
in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(d) or Section
5.01(e), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its
counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law.

<PAGE>
      The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.06 and any lien or
claim arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee,
the satisfaction, discharge or other termination, for any reason, of this
Indenture or any rejection of this Indenture under any proceeding under
Bankruptcy Law.

      "Trustee" for purposes of this Section 6.06 shall include any predecessor
Trustee; provided, however, that the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee
hereunder.

      SECTION 6.07. Officers' Certificate as Evidence.

      Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.01 and 6.02, whenever in the
administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or
omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect
thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or
bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such
certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

      SECTION 6.08. Conflicting Interest of Trustee.

      If the Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting interest" within the
meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture, the Trustee and the Company
shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the
Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

      SECTION 6.09. Eligibility of Trustee.

      The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state or
territory thereof or of the District of Columbia or a corporation or other
Person permitted to act as trustee by the Commission authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal, state,
territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section 6.09 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published.

      The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as
Trustee.

      In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10.


                                      -36-

      SECTION 6.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

            (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may
at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by
giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and by mailing notice
thereof to the holders of the applicable series of Securities at their addresses
as they shall appear on the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees
with respect to the applicable series by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed under the authority of a Board Resolution, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor
trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to
any series of Securities and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the
mailing of such notice of resignation to the affected Securityholders or the
receipt by the Trustee of a notice of removal pursuant to Subsection (b) below,
the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona
fide holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least
six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.09, on behalf of himself
and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment
of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as
it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

            (b)   In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

            (1)   the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
                  Section 6.08 after written request therefor by the Company or
                  by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a
                  Security or Securities for at least six months, or

            (2)   the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
                  provisions of Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after
                  written request therefor by the Company or by any
                  Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security
                  or Securities for at least six months, or

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

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed under the
authority of a Board Resolution, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered
to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to
the provisions of Section 5.09, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide
holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six
months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice,
if any, as it may deem proper, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee.


                                      -37-
<PAGE>
            (c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of any series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the
Trustee with respect to such series and nominate a successor trustee with
respect to the applicable series of Securities or all series, as the case may
be, which shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee with respect to the
applicable series unless within 10 days after such nomination the Company
objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Securityholder of
the applicable series, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in
subsection (a) of this Section 6.10 provided, may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee with respect to
such series.

            (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 6.11.

      SECTION 6.11. Acceptance by Successor Trustee.

      Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the retiring trustee with respect to all or any applicable series
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the
written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing
to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions
of Section 6.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act and
shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property
and money held by such retiring trustee thereunder. Upon request of any such
successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing
for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee
all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless,
retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to
secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.06.

      No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 6.08 and eligible under the provisions
of Section 6.09.

      Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 6.11, the Company shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to the holders of Securities at their addresses as they shall appear
on the Security Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within 10
days after the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

      SECTION 6.12. Succession by Merger, etc.

      Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the


                                      -38-
<PAGE>
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all
of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that such
successor Trustee must continue to abide by the terms of Section 6.09.

      In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the
trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall have
been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may
adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver
such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities
of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee
may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder
or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates
shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of such series
or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have;
provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of
any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Securities of any series in the name of
any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by
merger, conversion or consolidation.

      SECTION 6.13. Limitation on Rights of Trustee as a Creditor.

      The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act,
excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to
Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent included therein.

      SECTION 6.14. Authenticating Agents.

      There may be one or more Authenticating Agents appointed by the Trustee
upon the request of the Company with power to act on its behalf and subject to
its direction in the authentication and delivery of Securities of any series
issued upon exchange or transfer thereof as fully to all intents and purposes as
though any such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized to
authenticate and deliver Securities of such series; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall have no liability to the Company for any acts or omissions of the
Authenticating Agent with respect to the authentication and delivery of
Securities of any series. Any such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or
of any state or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia authorized
under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $5,000,000 and being subject to supervision or examination
by federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or
the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.14
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect herein specified in this Section.

      Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, consolidation


                                      -39-
<PAGE>
or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating
Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such
successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section 6.14 without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties
hereto or such Authenticating Agent.

      Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign with respect to one or
more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the
Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of
any Authenticating Agent with respect to one or more or all series of Securities
by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the
Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination,
or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under
this Section 6.14, the Trustee may, and upon the request of the Company shall,
promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent with respect to the applicable
series eligible under this Section 6.14, shall give written notice of such
appointment to the Company and shall mail notice of such appointment to all
holders of the applicable series of Securities as the names and addresses of
such holders appear on the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent
with respect to all or any series upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities with
respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent herein.

      The Company agrees to pay to any Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services. Any Authenticating Agent shall have no
responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such in accordance
with the directions of the Trustee.

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

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

                                                [_____________________],
                                                 as Trustee

                                 ARTICLE SEVEN
                         CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

      SECTION 7.01. Action by Securityholders.

      Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series
may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving
of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact
that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such specified
percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any
number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Securityholders in
person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of such
holders of Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such
Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of
Article Eight, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any
such record of such a meeting of such Securityholders.

      If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of any series any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination
of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have
no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given
before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the
close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for
the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion
of outstanding Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented
to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action, and for that purpose the outstanding Securities of that series
shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such
authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date
shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

      SECTION 7.02. Proof of Execution by Securityholders.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, 6.02 and 8.05, proof of the
execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy shall be
sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as
may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee. The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security
Register or by a certificate of the Security registrar. The Trustee may require
such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem
necessary.

      The record of any Securityholders' meeting shall be proved in the manner
provided in Section 8.06.

      SECTION 7.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners.

      Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security, the
Company, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any paying agent, any transfer
agent and any Security registrar may deem the Person in whose name such Security
shall be registered upon the Security Register (including a Depositary in the
case of a Global Security) to be, and may treat such person as, the absolute
owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue) for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the
Company nor the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent nor any paying agent nor
any transfer agent nor any Security registrar shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being or upon
his order shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid,
effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any
such Security.

      SECTION 7.04. Securities Owned by Company Deemed Not Outstanding.

      In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal
amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under
this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor
on the Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any
other obligor on the Securities shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided, however, that
for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be
regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 7.04 if the pledgee
shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote
such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any such other
obligor or person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In
the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon
the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

      SECTION 7.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound.

      At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as
provided in Section 7.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the
percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities specified in this
Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Security (or any
Security issued in whole or in part in exchange or substitution therefor) the
serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities
the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice
with the Trustee at its principal office or the Designated Office of the Trustee
and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 7.02, revoke such action so far
as concerns such Security (or so far as concerns the principal amount
represented by any exchanged or substituted Security). Except as aforesaid any
such action taken by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of
any Security issued in exchange or


                                      -42-
<PAGE>
substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard
thereto is made upon such Security or any Security issued in exchange or
substitution therefor.

provisions of this Article Eight for any of the following purposes:

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

            (b) to remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee pursuant
to the provisions of Article Six;

            (c) to consent to the execution of an indenture or indentures

      SECTION 8.02. Call of Meetings by Trustee.

      The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Securityholders of any or
all series to take any action specified in Section 8.01, to be held at such time
and at such place in New York, New York,  or Detroit, Michigan, as the Trustee
shall determine. Notice of every meeting of the Securityholders of any or all
series, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general
terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be mailed to
holders of Securities of each series affected at their addresses as they shall
appear on the Securities register of each series affected. Such notice shall be
mailed not less than 20 nor more than 180 days prior to the date fixed for the
meeting.

      SECTION 8.03. Call of Meetings by Company or Securityholders.

      In case at any time the Company pursuant to a resolution of the Board of

series, as the case may be, by written request setting forth in reasonable
detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not
have mailed the notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such
request, then the Company or such Securityholders may determine the time and the
place in New York, New York, or Detroit, Michigan, for such meeting and may
call such meeting to take any action authorized in Section 8.01, by mailing
notice thereof as provided in Section 8.02.

      SECTION 8.04. Qualifications for Voting.

      To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Securityholders a person shall
(a) be a holder of one or more Securities with respect to which the meeting is
being held or (b) a person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by a
holder of one or more such Securities. The only persons who shall be entitled to
be present or to speak at any meeting of Securityholders shall be the persons
entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of
the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its
counsel.

      SECTION 8.05. Regulations.

      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may
make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of
Securityholders, in regard to proof of the holding of Securities and of the
appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of
inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and
other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the
conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit.

      The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary
chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the
Company or by Securityholders as provided in Section 8.03, in which case the
Company or the Securityholders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in
like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
secretary of the meeting shall be elected by majority vote of the meeting.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 7.04 and unless otherwise provided in
an indenture supplemental hereto, at any meeting each holder of Securities with
respect to which such meeting is being held or proxy therefor shall be entitled
to one vote for each [$35] principal amount (in the case of Original Issue
Discount Securities, such principal amount to be determined as provided in the
definition "outstanding") of Securities held or represented by such holder;
provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in
respect of any Security challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman
of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no
right to vote other than by virtue of Securities held by him or instruments in
writing as aforesaid duly designating him as the person to vote on behalf of
other Securityholders. Any meeting of Securityholders duly called pursuant to
the provisions of Section 8.02 or 8.03 may be adjourned from time to time by a
majority of those present, whether or not constituting a quorum, and the meeting
may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

      SECTION 8.06. Voting.

      The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of holders of
Securities with respect to which such meeting is being held shall be by written
ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of such holders or of their
representatives by proxy and the serial number or numbers of the Securities held
or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two
inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against
any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting
their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A
record in duplicate of the


                                      -44-
<PAGE>
proceedings of each meeting of Securityholders shall be prepared by the
secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original
reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and
affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a
copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that the notice was mailed as
provided in Section 8.02. The record shall show the serial numbers of the
Securities voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be
signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of
the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the
other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached
thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

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

                                  ARTICLE NINE
                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

      SECTION 9.01. Supplemental Indentures without Consent of Securityholders.

      The Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter
into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect), without the consent of
the Securityholders, for one or more of the following purposes:

            (a) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the
Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor
corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant
to Article Ten hereof;

            (b) to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants,
restrictions or conditions for the protection of the holders of all or any
series of Securities (and, if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less
than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being
included for the benefit of such series) as the Company and the Trustee shall
consider to be for the protection of the holders of such Securities, and to make
the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any of such
additional covenants, restrictions or conditions a default or an Event of
Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies
provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, however, that in
respect of any such additional covenant, restriction or condition such
supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after
default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of
other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or
may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default; and provided,
further, that until such time as all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in
full in cash and the Bank One Credit Agreement, all commitments to lend or
otherwise extend credit under the Bank One Credit Agreement and any and all
letters of credit issued pursuant thereto shall have expired or been irrevocably
terminated, neither the Trustee nor the holders of Securities shall have the
right to accelerate the maturity of the Securities as a result of any such
additional default or Event of Default;


                                      -45-
<PAGE>
            (c) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision
contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental
indenture, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions
arising under this Indenture; provided that any such action shall not materially
adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Securities;

            (d) to qualify, or maintain the qualification of, this Indenture
under the Trust Indenture Act;

            (e) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more
series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall
be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section
6.11;

            (f) to make provision for transfer procedures, certification,
book-entry provisions, the form of restricted securities legends, if any, to be
placed on Securities and all other matters necessary, desirable or appropriate
in connection with the issuance of Securities;

            (g) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of
any Securityholder; or

            (h) pursuant to Section 2.03, to provide for the issuance of and
establish the form and terms and conditions of additional series of Securities.

      The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution
of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements
and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance,
transfer and assignment of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be
obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any such supplemental
indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise.

      Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section
9.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the
holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of
the provisions of Section 9.02.

      SECTION 9.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Securityholders.

      With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 7.01) of the holders of
not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of the
Securities at the time outstanding affected by such supplemental indenture, the
Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act then in effect) for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner
the rights of the holders of the Securities of such series; provided, however,
that no such supplemental indenture shall without the consent of all the holders
of the Securities of each series then outstanding and affected


                                      -46-
<PAGE>
thereby (i) change the fixed maturity of any Security of such series, or reduce
the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the
principal amount thereof or any premium thereon, or reduce any amount payable on
redemption or prepayment thereof or change any date on which the Securities of
such series may be prepaid or make the principal thereof or any interest or
premium thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the
Securities, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount
Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity
thereof pursuant to Section 5.01 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy
pursuant to Section 5.02, or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to
institute suit for payment thereof or the right of repayment, if any, at the
option of the holder, or modify Section 13.13, without the consent of the holder
of each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
Securities of such series the holders of which are required to consent to any
such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Security
then affected.

      A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other
provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the
rights of Securityholders of such series with respect to such covenant or
provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture or the
Securityholders of any other series.

      Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a copy of a Board
Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and
upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders
as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
supplemental indenture unless such 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 supplemental indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive an
Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence and full protection that any
supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article is authorized or
permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Article and that it is proper
for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article to join in the execution
thereof.

      Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.02, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice, prepared
by the Company, setting forth in general terms the substance of such
supplemental indenture, to the Securityholders of all series affected thereby as
their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Any failure of the
Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

      It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under
this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof.

      SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act; Effect of Supplemental
                    Indentures.

      Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the provisions of this
Article Nine shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect. Upon
the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Article Nine, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended
in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the
Company and the holders of Securities of each series affected thereby shall
thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions
of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the
terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

      SECTION 9.04. Notation on Securities.

      Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution
of any supplemental indenture affecting such series pursuant to the provisions
of this Article Nine may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to
any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company or the
Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to
conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any
modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent and delivered in exchange for the Securities of any series
then outstanding.

      SECTION 9.05. Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to be
                    Furnished Trustee.

      The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be
entitled to receive an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence and full protection that any supplemental indenture executed
pursuant hereto complies with the requirements of this Article Nine.

                CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, CONVEYANCE AND LEASE

      SECTION 10.01. Company May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

      The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or
transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety to any Person, and the Company shall not permit any other Person to
consolidate with or merge into the Company, or convey, transfer or lease its
properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
Company unless:

            (a) either the Company shall be the continuing corporation, or the
corporation (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into
which the Company is merged or to which the properties and assets of the Company
substantially as an entity are transferred or leased shall be a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of


                                      -48-
<PAGE>
America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly
assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the
Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company
under the Securities and this Indenture; and

            (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction no Event of
Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become
an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

      SECTION 10.02. Successor Corporation to be Substituted for Company.

      In case of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and upon
the assumption by the successor corporation, by supplemental indenture, executed
and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due
and punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
all of the Securities and the due and punctual performance and observance of all
of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed or observed by
the Company, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for
the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of
the first part, and the Company thereupon shall be relieved of any further
liability or obligation hereunder (including any supplemental indentures) or
upon the Securities, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided. Such
successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in
its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Securities
issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company
and delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent; and, upon the order of
such successor corporation instead of the Company and subject to all the terms,
conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver any Securities which
previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company
to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication, and any
Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed
and delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for that purpose. All
the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and
benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued
in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Indentures
had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

      SECTION 10.03. Opinion of Counsel to be Given Trustee.

      The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be
entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence and full
protection that any consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, and any
assumption, permitted or required by the terms of this Article Ten complies with
the provisions of this Article Ten.

                     SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

      SECTION 11.01. Discharge of Indenture.

      When (a) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all

<PAGE>
stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08)
and not theretofore canceled, or (b) all the Securities not theretofore canceled
or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable,
or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be
called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee, in trust, funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon
redemption all of the Securities (other than any Securities which shall have
been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as
provided in Section 2.08) not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation, including principal and premium, if any, and interest due or
to become due to such date of maturity or redemption date, as the case may be,

paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall
cease to be of further effect except that the provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.07,
2.08, 3.01, 3.02, 3.04, 6.06, 6.10 and 11.04 hereof shall survive until such
Securities shall mature and be paid. Thereafter, Sections 6.10 and 11.04 shall
survive, and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by any Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the

paying agent), to the holders of the particular Securities for the payment of
which such moneys or U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited with the

such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such moneys.

repaid to the Company by the Trustee or such paying agent on written demand; and
the holder of any of the Securities shall thereafter look only to the Company
for any payment which such holder may be entitled to collect and all liability
of the Trustee or such paying agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon
cease.

      SECTION 11.05. Defeasance Upon Deposit of Moneys or U.S. Government

series of Securities:

                  as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the
                  holders of the Securities of such series (i) money in an
                  amount, or (ii) U.S. Government Obligations which through the

redemption date), a holder of Securities may directly institute a proceeding for
enforcement of payment to such holder of the principal of or interest on the
applicable series of Securities having a principal amount equal to the aggregate
liquidation amount of the Securities of such holder on or after the respective
due date specified in the applicable series of Securities.

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

      SECTION 14.01. Applicability of Article.

      The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of

                                      -55-
<PAGE>
      SECTION 14.02. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Securities.

      In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all, or,
as the case may be, any part of the Securities of any series in accordance with
their terms, it shall fix a date for redemption and shall mail a notice of such
redemption at least 15 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption to the holders of Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a
whole or in part at their last addresses as the same appear on the Security
Register. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice if mailed in the
manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given,
whether or not the holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give
such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Security of
a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such
series.

      Each such notice of redemption shall specify the CUSIP number of the
Securities to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price
at which Securities of such series are to be redeemed, the place or places of
payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such
Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid
as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or
on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If less than all
the Securities of such series are to be redeemed the notice of redemption shall
specify the numbers of the Securities of that series to be redeemed. In case any
Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption
shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall
state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such
Security, a new Security or Securities of that series in principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
such notice shall not be required to state the redemption price where such price
may not otherwise be determined at the time of the giving of such notice in
accordance with the terms of the applicable supplemental indenture or Officers'
Certificate providing for the issuance of the series of Securities to be
redeemed, in which event a second notice shall be provided stating such
redemption price at the earliest practicable time following its determination.

      Prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given
as provided in this Section, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with
one or more paying agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the
redemption date all the Securities so called for redemption at the appropriate
redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption.

      If all, or less than all, the Securities of a series are to be redeemed,
the Company will give the Trustee notice not less than 45 nor more than 60 days,
prior to the redemption date as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities
of that series to be redeemed. In the event that fewer than all the outstanding
Securities of such series are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed
shall be redeemed by lot or such other method (which may be pro rata) as the
Trustee shall deem fair and reasonable from each Holder of Securities of such
series, it being understood that, in respect of Securities registered in the
name of and held of record by the Depositary or its nominee (or any successor
Depositary or its nominee) or any nominee, the distribution of the


                                      -56-
<PAGE>
proceeds of such redemption will be made to the Depositary and disbursed by such
Depositary in accordance with the procedures applied by such agency or nominee.

      SECTION 14.03. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.

      If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 14.02, the
Securities or portions of Securities of the series with respect to which such
notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place
or places stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together
with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said
date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the
redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the
Securities or portions of Securities of any series so called for redemption
shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a
place of payment specified in said notice, the said Securities or the specified
portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable
redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for
redemption.

      Upon presentation of any Security of any series redeemed in part only, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or
Securities of such series of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

                                ARTICLE FIFTEEN
                           SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

      SECTION 15.01. Agreement to Subordinate.

      The Company covenants and agrees, and each holder of any Security, by its
acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the
holders, from time to time, of Senior Indebtedness that, to the extent and in
the manner set forth in this Article Fifteen and the other provisions of this
Indenture, the Subordinated Indebtedness is hereby expressly made subordinate
and subject in right of payment as provided herein to the prior payment in full
in cash of all Senior Indebtedness.

      No provision of this Article Fifteen shall prevent the occurrence of any
default or Event of Default hereunder.

      SECTION 15.02. Default on Senior Indebtedness.

            (a) Unless Section 15.04 shall be applicable, upon (1) the
occurrence of a Senior Indebtedness Payment Default and (2) receipt by the
Trustee of written notice of such occurrence, then no payment or distribution of
any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, directly or indirectly, by set-off or
otherwise, shall be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on account of
the Subordinated Indebtedness or on account of the purchase or redemption or
other acquisition of any Subordinated Indebtedness unless and until such Senior
Indebtedness Payment


                                      -57-
<PAGE>
Default shall have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist
or such Senior Indebtedness shall have been discharged, after which the Company
may resume making any and all required payments in respect of the Securities,
other than any missed payments.

            (b) Unless Section 15.04 shall be applicable, upon (1) the
occurrence of a Senior Indebtedness Non-Payment Default and (2) receipt by the
Company or the Trustee from the representative of holders of the Senior
Indebtedness of written notice of such occurrence, then no payment or
distribution of any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any kind
or character, whether in cash, property or securities, directly or indirectly,
by set-off or otherwise, shall be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
on account of any Subordinated Indebtedness or on account of the purchase or
redemption or other acquisition of any Subordinated Indebtedness for a period
("Payment Blockage Period") commencing on the earlier of the date of receipt by
the Company or the date of receipt by the Trustee of such notice from such
representative unless and until (subject to any blockage of payments that may
then be in effect under paragraph (a) of this Section) (x) more than 180 days
shall have elapsed since receipt of such written notice by the Company or the
Trustee, whichever was earlier, (y) such Senior Indebtedness Non-Payment Default
shall have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist or the
Senior Indebtedness shall have been discharged or (z) such Payment Blockage
Period shall have been terminated by written notice to the Company or the
Trustee from such representative initiating such Payment Blockage Period, after
which, in the case of clause (x), (y) or (z), the Company may resume making any
and all required payments in respect of any Securities, including any missed
payments; provided, however, that no such missed payments may be made unless
contemporaneously therewith the Company shall have delivered to Bank One a
certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company to the effect that (i)
no Senior Indebtedness Payment Default or Senior Indebtedness Non-Payment
Default has occurred and is continuing or will have occurred and be continuing
after making such missed payments and (ii) Childtime Childcare and the Company
will be in pro forma compliance with all financial covenants under the Bank One
Credit Agreement after giving effect to such missed payments, together with all
calculations reasonably necessary to demonstrate such compliance, certified as
true and complete by the chief financial officer. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, there must be at least 180 consecutive days after
the end of any Payment Blockage Period before a new Payment Blockage Period may
be initiated under this Section 15.02(b). Nothing contained in this Section
15.02(b) shall prohibit, limit, impair or otherwise affect the ability of the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness to indefinitely block payments and enforce
other rights at any time under Section 15.02(a) upon the occurrence of a Senior
Indebtedness Payment Default.

            (c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall make any payment to the Trustee or the holder of any Security prohibited
by the foregoing provisions of this Section, then and in such event such payment
shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness and paid over and delivered forthwith to the Company.

            (d) During the occurrence and continuance of any Senior Indebtedness
Payment Default or the continuance of any Payment Blockage Period, and except as
otherwise provided in Section 5.01, the holders of the Securities will not
accelerate or take any action to


                                      -58-
<PAGE>
enforce any obligation of any kind with respect to any Subordinated Indebtedness
and will not commence, or join with any other creditor or creditors of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries in commencing, (i) any action at law, any
suit or proceedings in equity, any arbitration proceedings or other proceedings
of a litigation nature against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or assets,
or any holders of any of the Senior Indebtedness, in each case which seeks to
enforce payment or other obligations with respect to the Securities or seeks to
prevent the holders of the Senior Indebtedness from enforcing any of their
rights or remedies or (ii) any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency
proceedings against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

            (e) In the event of the acceleration of the maturity of the
Securities, no payment shall be made by the Company, whether in cash, property
or securities, with respect to principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on
the Securities until all Senior Indebtedness is repaid in full and satisfied in
cash and the Bank One Credit Agreement, all commitments to lend or otherwise

commitments to lend or otherwise extend credit under the Bank One Credit
Agreement and any and all letters of credit issued pursuant thereto shall have
expired or been irrevocably terminated, all in accordance with the terms of the
Bank One Credit Agreement.

      SECTION 15.04. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

      In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or
any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or
proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or
other winding up of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their assets,
whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or
bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other
marshalling of assets or liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
then and in any such event:

            (a) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive
payment in full in cash of all amounts due on or in respect of all Senior
Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for such payment, before the holders of

with respect to the Senior Indebtedness provided for by a plan of reorganization
or readjustment that, in the case of any such subordinated securities, are
subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness that may at the time
be outstanding to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than,
the Subordinated Indebtedness is so subordinated as provided in this Article

or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than a payment or
distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities), directly or

distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee
or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their
representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness
may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining
unpaid on account of the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the
extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness
remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution
to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and

            (c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section, the Trustee or any holder of any Securities shall have received
any payment or distribution of assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, in respect of
the Subordinated Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full or
payment thereof provided for in cash, then and in such event such payment or
distribution (other than a payment or distribution in the form of Permitted
Junior Securities) shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness and paid over or delivered forthwith to the
trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent
or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness
remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full
in cash, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for
the holders of Senior Indebtedness; and

            (d) the holders of any Securities hereby irrevocably authorize and
empower (without imposing any obligation on) the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness under the circumstances and to the extent set forth in this Section
15.04, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment and
distribution described herein if any holder of the Securities does not do so in
a timely fashion, to file claims and proofs of claim in any statutory or
non-statutory proceedings, in the name of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness
or in the name of any holder of the Securities or otherwise, as the holders of
the Senior Indebtedness may reasonably deem necessary or advisable for the
enforcement of the subordination provisions of this Section 15.04.

      SECTION 15.05. Subrogation.

      Subject to the discharge in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the
Company, the rights of the Securityholders shall be subrogated to the rights of
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of
cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, applicable to
such Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on the Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such
subrogation, no


                                      -60-
<PAGE>
payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any
cash, property or securities to which the Securityholders or the Trustee (except
as otherwise provided in Section 5.03) would be entitled except for the
provisions of this Article Fifteen, and no payment pursuant to the provisions of
this Article Fifteen to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness by Securityholders or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company,
its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the
holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on
account of such Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of
this Article Fifteen are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining
the relative rights of the holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness on the other hand.

      Nothing contained in this Article Fifteen or elsewhere in this Indenture,
any supplemental indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair,
as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, and the holders of the Securities, the obligation
of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holders of
the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the
Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the
holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company, as the case may be,
other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may
be, nor shall anything, except as expressly provided in this Article Fifteen or
elsewhere in this Indenture, prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Security
from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default
under the Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article Fifteen
of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or
securities of the Company, as the case may be, received upon the exercise of any
such remedy.

      Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in
this Article Fifteen, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article Six of
this Indenture, and the Securityholders shall be entitled to conclusively rely
upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which
such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are
pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation
trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to
the Trustee or to the Securityholders, for the purposes of ascertaining the
Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior
Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, the
amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed
thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Fifteen.

      SECTION 15.06. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

      Each Securityholder by such Securityholder's acceptance thereof authorizes
and directs the Trustee on such Securityholder's behalf to take such action as
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this
Article Fifteen and appoints the Trustee such Securityholder's attorney-in-fact
for any and all such purposes.

      SECTION 15.07. Notice by the Company.

      The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of
any payment of monies to or


                                      -61-
<PAGE>
by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this
Article Fifteen. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Fifteen or any
other provision of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture, the Trustee
shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would
prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of
the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article Fifteen, unless and
until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice
thereof from the Company or a holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness or from
any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article Six of this Indenture, shall be
entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist.

      The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article Six of this Indenture,
shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice
by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company (or a trustee on behalf of such holder), to establish that such notice
has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of
any such holder or holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in good
faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person
as a holder of such Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article Fifteen, the Trustee may request such
Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to
the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which
such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any
other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article Fifteen,
and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to
such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to
receive such payment.

      SECTION 15.08. Rights of the Trustee; Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

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

      With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the
Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article Fifteen, and no
implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture or any other document against the
Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Article
Six of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of such
Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to Securityholders, the
Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of such Senior
Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Fifteen or otherwise.

      SECTION 15.09. Subordination May Not Be Impaired.

            (a) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior
Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in
any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by any act or failure to act, in good
faith, by any such holder, or by any non-compliance by the Company or


                                      -62-
<PAGE>
any of its Subsidiaries with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with.

            (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of
this Section 15.09, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from
time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the holders of
the Securities, without incurring responsibility to the holders of the
Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this
Article or the obligations hereunder of the holders of the Securities to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (1)
increase the amount of, change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend
the time or payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness or any instrument
evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is
outstanding; (2) sell, exchange, release, fail to perfect or maintain as
perfected a lien or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (3) release any Person liable in any
manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; (4) waive or exercise or
refrain from exercising any rights against the Company or any other Person; and
(5) take or omit to take any other action with respect to the Senior
Indebtedness which may impair or adversely effect the subordination herein made.

      SECTION 15.10. Miscellaneous.

            (a) For purposes of this Article Fifteen, the words "cash, property
or securities" shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as
reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation
provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which
is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article Fifteen and the
other provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness
to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be,
that may at the time be outstanding, provided that (i) such Senior Indebtedness
is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such
reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by
such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or
the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property
as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the
terms and conditions provided for in Article Ten of this Indenture shall not be
deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes
of Section 15.04 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such
consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated
in Article Ten of this Indenture. Nothing in Sections 15.02, 15.03 or 15.04
shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to
Section 6.06 of this Indenture.

            (b) For purposes of this Article Fifteen and the other provisions of
this Indenture, the Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed discharged until
such time as the Senior Indebtedness shall have been repaid in full and
satisfied in cash and the Bank One Credit Agreement, all commitments to lend or
otherwise extend credit under the Bank One Credit Agreement and any and all
letters of credit issued pursuant thereto shall have expired or been irrevocably
terminated, all in accordance with the terms of the Bank One Credit Agreement.

                    GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

      SECTION 2.1 Designation; Principal Amount and Denomination. There is
hereby authorized a series of Securities designated the 15% Subordinated Notes
due 2008, limited (except as provided in Section 2.08 of the Indenture) in
aggregate principal amount to
<PAGE>
$3,500,000; the amount of such series shall be as set forth in any written order
of the Company for the authentication and delivery of Notes of such series
pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Indenture. The Notes shall be issued in
denominations of $35 or any increments thereof.

      SECTION 2.2 Maturity. The maturity date (the "Maturity Date") of the Notes
is ______________, 2008.

      SECTION 2.3 Form and Payment.

             The Notes shall be issued in fully registered certificated form
without interest coupons ("Definitive Notes"). Principal and interest on the
Notes will be payable, the transfer of such Notes will be registrable and such
Notes will be exchangeable for Notes bearing identical terms and provisions at
the office or agency of the Trustee in New York, New York, or Detroit, Michigan,
or at the office of such Paying Agent or Paying Agents as the Company may
designate from time to time; provided, however, that, at the option of the
Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Securityholder at
such address as shall appear in the security register for the Notes maintained
pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Indenture. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.4(c), all payments of principal and interest on the Notes shall be
made in lawful money of the United States of America.

      SECTION 2.4 Interest.

            (a) Each Note will bear interest at the rate of 15.0% per annum from
the date of issuance, or from the most recent date to which interest has been
duly paid or provided for, as the case may be, until the principal thereof
becomes due and payable on the Maturity Date; provided, however, that each Note
will bear interest, payable on demand, on any overdue principal and (to the
extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any
overdue interest at the rate of 18% per annum.

            (b) Interest shall be paid quarterly and shall be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. For periods less than a full
quarter, interest payable shall reflect interest on the Notes computed on the
basis of the actual number of elapsed days based on a 360-day year. In the event
that any date on which interest is payable on the Notes is not a Business Day,
then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next
succeeding day which is a Business Day (including any interest or other payment

                             [FORM OF FACE OF NOTE]

                  $____________                    CUSIP No. _________

                        CHILDTIME LEARNING CENTERS, INC.

                         15% SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE 2008

      CHILDTIME LEARNING CENTERS, INC., a Michigan corporation (the "Company,"
which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter
referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to ______________ or
registered assigns, the principal sum of _____________ Dollars ($___________) on
_____________, 2008 (the "Maturity Date"), and to pay interest on said principal
sum in cash from the date hereof, or from the most recent interest payment date
to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on
December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 of each year (each such date, an
"Interest Payment Date"), commencing on March 31, 2003, at the rate of 15.00%
per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and at a
rate of 18.00%
<PAGE>
per annum on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and (without duplication
and to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable
law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum
compounded quarterly. The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment
Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
For periods less than a full calendar quarter, interest payable shall reflect
interest on the Notes computed on the basis of the actual number of elapsed days
based on a 360-day year. In the event that any date on which interest is payable
on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such
date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without
any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with
the same force and effect as if made on such date. The interest installment so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this
Note is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such
interest installment, which shall be the close of business on the fifteenth day
(whether or not such day is a Business Day) of the calendar month in which the
relevant Interest Payment Date falls. Any such interest installment not
punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered Holders on such regular record date and may be paid to the Person in
whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a special record
date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest,
notice whereof shall be given to the registered holders of this series of Notes
not less than 10 days prior to such special record 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 principal of (and premium, if any) and the interest on this Note that is
payable in cash shall be payable at the office or agency of the Trustee
maintained for that purpose in any coin or currency of the United States of
America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts; provided, however, that, payment of interest may be made at the
option of the Company by check mailed to the registered Holder at such address
as shall appear in the Security Register.

            The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is, to the extent provided
in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) and
this Note is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect
thereto. Each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and
shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his
or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
acknowledge or effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the
Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder
hereof, by his or her acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of the
acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture
by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter
incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

            This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to, be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the
Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of
the Trustee.
<PAGE>
            The provisions of this Note are continued on the reverse side hereof
and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as
though fully set forth at this place.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be
executed in its name by its duly authorized officers.

<PAGE>
                            (FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE)

            This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Notes of the Company
(herein sometimes referred to as the "Notes"), specified in the Indenture, all
issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture
dated as of ___________, 2003, duly executed and delivered between the Company
and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as Trustee
(the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of
___________, between the Company and the Trustee (the Indenture as so
supplemented, the "Indenture"), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes. By the terms of the
Indenture, the Notes are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of
maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Indenture.
This series of Notes is limited in aggregate principal amount as specified in
said First Supplemental Indenture.

            Following the occurrence of a Change of Control, this Note will
become due and payable, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding
principal amount of the Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
date of redemption (the "Redemption Price"). The Redemption Price shall be paid
prior to [2:00] p.m., New York time, on the date of such redemption.
Notwithstanding the foregoing the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase
any Notes until such time as such repurchase is permissable pursuant to Article
15 of the Indenture.

            The Company shall have the right to redeem this Note at the option
of the Company, in whole or in part at any time (an "Optional Redemption"), at
the Redemption Price.

            Any prepayment pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs will be made
upon not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days notice. If the Notes are only
partially prepaid by the Company pursuant to an Optional Redemption, the Notes
to be redeemed will be selected pro rata or by lot or by any other method
utilized by the Trustee.

            In the event of prepayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or
Notes of this series for the unrepaid portion hereof will be issued in the name
of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

            In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have
occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Notes may be declared,
and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the
effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

            The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, to execute
supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any
supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders
of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall
without the consent of the
<PAGE>
holders of each outstanding Note so affected, (i) change the fixed maturity of
any Notes of any series, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the
rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount
payable upon the redemption or prepayment thereof, or change any date on which
the Note may be prepaid or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Notes, the
holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture,
without the consent of the Holders of each Note then outstanding and affected
thereby.

            The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes affected thereby, on behalf
of all of the Holders of the Notes of such series, to waive any past default in
the performance of any of the covenants contained in the Indenture, or
established pursuant to the Indenture with respect to such series, and its
consequences, except a default (a) in the payment of the principal of or
premium, if any, on or interest on any of the Notes of such series or, (b) in
respect of covenants or provisions of the Indenture which cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the holder of each Note affected. Any such
consent or waiver by the registered Holder of this Note (unless revoked as
provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and
upon all future holders and owners of this Note and of any Note issued in
exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or
otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Note.

            The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Company and
the Trustee, without the consent of any Holders, to execute supplemental
indentures to make any changes that do not adversely affect the rights of the
Holders.

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

            As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, this Note is transferable by the registered Holder hereof on
the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for
registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee in St. Paul,
Minnesota accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent duly executed by the
registered Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount and series will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any such transfer,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in relation thereto.

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

            THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THE
INDENTURE AND THE NOTES WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF AND
THE INDENTURE AND NOTES SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE CONTRACTS MADE UNDER THE INTERNAL
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
<PAGE>
YORK, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
SAID STATE.

First Supplemental Indenture.

State without regard to conflicts of law principles.

      SECTION 6.4 Severability.

            In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this First
Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall for any reason be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this First
Supplemental Indenture or of the Notes, but this First Supplemental Indenture
and the Notes shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable
provision had never been contained herein or therein.

                          SUBSCRIPTION AGENT AGREEMENT

                                              ----------------------------------

Computershare Trust Company of New York
88 Pine Street - 19th Floor
New York, New York 10005

Attn.:                      Reorganization Department

Gentlemen:

                  Pursuant to a proposed rights offering (the "Rights
Offering"), Childtime Learning Centers, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the
"Company"), is issuing to holders of record of its outstanding shares of common
stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), at the close of business on _____ (the
"Record Date"), rights to subscribe for and purchase (each a "Right") one (1)
unit for each fifty-four (54) shares of Common Stock a shareholder owns (each, a
"Unit"), each Unit consisting of a number of shares of Common Stock having an
aggregate value of [$123.75] (the "Additional Common Stock") and $35 principal
amount of the Company's 15% Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Subordinated
Debt") at a purchase price of $[158.75] per Unit (the "Subscription Price"),
payable by cashier's or certified check (or, in the case of holders of
subordinated promissory notes issued by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Childtime Childcare, Inc., such subordinated promissory notes duly assigned or
endorsed to the Company), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. A
total of 100,000 Units are being offered pursuant to the Rights Offering. The
term "Subscribed" shall mean submitted for purchase from the Company by a
shareholder in accordance with the terms of the Rights Offering, and the term
"Subscription" shall mean any such submission. The Rights Offering will expire
at _____, New York City Time, on _____ (the "Expiration Time"), unless the
Company shall have extended the period of time for which the Rights Offering is
open, in which event the term "Expiration Time" shall mean the latest time and
date at which the Rights Offering, as so extended by the Company from time to
time, shall expire.

                  The Company filed a Registration Statement relating to the
Units with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, on _____. Said Registration Statement was declared effective
on _____. The terms and conditions of the Rights Offering are more fully
described in the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement as it was
declared effective (the "Prospectus"), and the accompanying "Instructions as to
the Use of Rights Subscription Certificates" (the "Instructions"). Copies of the
Prospectus, the Instructions and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery are annexed
hereto as Exhibit 1, Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3,




                                       1

respectively. Copies of the forms of Letter to Shareholders of Record, Letter to
Brokers and Other Nominees, Letter from Brokers and Other Nominees to Beneficial
Owners of Common Stock, Instructions by Beneficial Owners to Brokers or Other
Nominees and Nominee Holder Certification are also annexed hereto as Exhibit 5,
Exhibit 6, Exhibit 7, Exhibit 8 and Exhibit 9, respectively.  All terms used and
not defined in this Subscription Agent Agreement (this "Agreement") shall have
the same meaning as in the Prospectus. Promptly after the Record Date, the
Company will provide you with a list of holders of Common Stock who each own at
least 54 shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date (the "Record Shareholders
List").

                  The Rights are evidenced by non-transferable rights
subscription certificates (the "Certificates"), the form of which is annexed
hereto as Exhibit 4. The Certificates entitle the holders to subscribe, upon
payment of the Subscription Price, for Units at the rate of one (1) Unit for
each Right evidenced by a Certificate (the "Basic Subscription Privilege"). No
fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued. In addition, subject to
pro-rata allocation, each Right also entitles the holder thereof, so long as
such holder has fully exercised the holder's Rights pursuant to the Basic
Subscription Privilege, to subscribe at the Subscription Price for additional
Units, not to exceed the number of Units available for such holder to purchase
under the Basic Subscription Privilege (the "Over-Subscription Privilege"), up
to the maximum number of Units offered by the Prospectus. Units will be
available for purchase pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege only to the
extent that all the Units are not Subscribed for through the exercise of the
Basic Subscription Privilege by the Expiration Time. Reference is made to the
Prospectus for a complete description of the Basic Subscription Privilege and
the Over-Subscription Privilege.

                  Exhibits 1 through 9 shall be referred to collectively in this
Agreement as the "Subscription Documents."

                  The Company hereby appoints you as Subscription Agent (the
"Subscription Agent") for the Rights Offering and agrees with you as follows:

                  1. As Subscription Agent, you are authorized and directed to:

                           (A)      issue the Certificates and Units purchased

                                    Agreement in the names shown on the Record
                                    Shareholders List, keep such records as are
                                    necessary for the purpose of recording such
                                    issuance, and furnish a copy of such records
                                    to the Company. The Certificates may be
                                    signed on behalf of the Subscription Agent
                                    by the manual or facsimile signature of a

                            totals for each; and in addition, advise the Company
                            Representative, by telephone at (248) 442-3183,

                            deposited, available or transferred in accordance
                            with (i) above, with cumulative totals; and

                      (iii) as promptly as possible but in any event on or
                            before 3:30 p.m., New York City Time, on the first
                            full business day following the Expiration Time,
                            advise the Company Representative in accordance with
                            (ii) above of the number of Units Subscribed for,
                            the number of Subscription guarantees received and
                            the number of Units Subscribed for pursuant to such
                            guarantees;

                  (I) upon completion of the Rights Offering, you shall
requisition share certificates from the transfer agent for the Company (the
"Transfer Agent") for the Additional Common Stock and debt instruments from the
Company evidencing the Subordinated Debt (such share certificates and debt
instruments are referred to in this Agreement as the "Unit Documents") to
satisfy the Subscriptions accepted.

                  2. The Certificates and Unit Documents shall be issued in
registered form only. The Company shall appoint and have in office at all times
a Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Additional Common Stock and a trustee
(the "Trustee") for the Subordinated Debt, which shall keep books and records of
the registration and transfers and exchanges of any Unit Documents (such books
and records are hereinafter called the "Unit Register"). The Company shall
promptly notify the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee of the exercise
of any Certificates. The Company shall promptly notify you of any change in the
Transfer Agent and Registrar or the Trustee.

                  3. You will follow your regular procedures to attempt to
reconcile any discrepancies between the number of Units that any Certificate may
indicate are to be issued to a shareholder and the number that the Record
Stockholders List indicates may be issued to such shareholder. In any instance
where you cannot reconcile such discrepancies by following such procedures, you
will consult with the Company for instructions as to the number of Units, if
any, you are authorized to issue. In the absence of such instructions, you are
authorized not to issue any Units to such shareholder.

                  4. You will examine the Certificates received by you as
Subscription Agent to ascertain whether they appear to you to have been
completed and executed in accordance with the Instructions. In the event you
determine that any Certificate does not appear to you to have been properly
completed or executed, or where the Certificates do not appear to you to be in
proper form for Subscription, or any other irregularity in connection with the
Subscription appears to you to exist, you will follow, where possible, your
regular procedures to attempt to cause such irregularity to be corrected. You
are not authorized to waive any irregularity in connection with the



                                       5

<PAGE>




Subscription, unless you shall have received from the Company the Certificate
which was delivered, duly dated and signed by an authorized officer of the
Company, indicating that any irregularity in such Certificate has been cured or
waived and that such Certificate has been accepted by the Company. If any such
irregularity is neither corrected nor waived, you will return to the subscribing
shareholder (at your option by either first class mail under a blanket surety
bond or insurance protecting you and the Company from losses or liabilities
arising out of the non-receipt or nondelivery of Certificates or by registered
mail insured separately for the value of such Certificates) to such
shareholder's address as set forth in the Subscription any Certificates
surrendered in connection therewith, any other documents received with such
Certificates and a letter of notice to be furnished by the Company explaining
the reasons for the return of the Certificates and other documents.

                  5. Each document received by you relating to your duties
hereunder shall be dated and time stamped when received.

                  6. (A) For so long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the
Company will reserve for issuance and keep available free from preemptive rights
a sufficient number of Units to permit the exercise in full of all Rights issued
pursuant to the Rights Offering. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, you will request the Transfer Agent to issue share certificates
evidencing the Additional Common Stock and you will request the Company to
issue, through the Trustee, debt instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt,
as required from time to time in order to effectuate the Subscriptions.

                           (B) The Company shall take any and all action,
including without limitation obtaining the authorization, consent, lack of
objection, registration or approval of any governmental authority, or the taking
of any other action under the laws of the United States of America or any
political subdivision thereof, to insure that (i) all shares of Additional
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Certificates at the time of
delivery of the share certificates therefor (subject to payment of the
Subscription Price) will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free from all preemptive rights and taxes,
liens, charges and security interests created by or imposed upon the Company
with respect thereto, and (ii) all Subordinated Debt issuable upon the exercise
of the Certificates at the time of delivery of the debt instruments therefor
(subject to payment of the Subscription Price) will be validly issued and
outstanding.

                           (C) The Company shall from time to time take all
action necessary or appropriate to obtain and keep effective all registrations,
permits, consents and approvals of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
any other governmental agency or authority and make such filings under United
States federal and state laws which may be necessary or appropriate in
connection with the issuance, sale, transfer and delivery of the Units or the
Additional Common Stock and Subordinated Debt issued upon exercise of the
Rights.

                  7. If Unit Documents are to be delivered by you to a person
other than the person in whose name a surrendered Certificate is registered, you
will issue no Unit



                                       6

<PAGE>




Documents until the Certificate so surrendered has been properly endorsed (or
otherwise put in proper form for transfer) and the person requesting such
exchange has paid any transfer or other taxes or other taxes or governmental
charges required by reason of the issuance of the Unit Documents in a name other
than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or has
established to your satisfaction that any such tax or charge either has been
paid or is not payable.

                  8. Should any issue arise regarding federal income tax
reporting or withholding, you will take such action as the Company instructs you
in writing.

                  9. Unless terminated earlier by the parties hereto, this
Agreement shall terminate in accordance with this Section 9 at the option of
either you or us. Upon any termination of this Agreement, you shall promptly
deliver to us any certificates, funds or other property related to the Rights
Offering then held by you. After such time, any party entitled to such
certificates, funds or property shall look solely to us or to our appointed
agents and all of your liability with respect thereto shall cease.

                           (A) Upon providing written notice, either party may
immediately terminate this agreement upon the occurrence of any of the
following: (i) any breach of any material provision of this Agreement and, where
the breach is capable of remedy, failure to remedy the breach within 30 days
after receiving written notice of such breach; (ii) any breach of any material
provision of this agreement that is not capable of remedy; (iii) any party: (a)
files a petition or otherwise commences, authorizes or acquiesces in the
commencement of a proceeding or cause of action under any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or similar law, or has any such petition filed or
commenced against it; (b) makes any assignment or general arrangement for the
benefit of creditors; or (c) has a liquidator, administrator, receiver, trustee,
conservator or similar official appointed with respect to it or any substantial
portion of its property or assets; or (iv) any failure to make, when due, any
payment required to be made under the Agreement if such failure is not remedied
within twenty (20) Business Days after written notice. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a
legal holiday on which the Company or you are not open for business.

                           (B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may, upon
providing written notice, immediately resign as agent hereunder and discontinue
the provision of the services as Subscription Agent if you believe that
providing such services may expose you to legal, regulatory or financial
liability.

                  10. As agent for the Company hereunder, you:

                           (A) shall have no duties or obligations other than
those specifically set forth herein or as may subsequently be agreed to in
writing by you and the Company;

                           (B) shall have no obligation to issue any Units
unless the Company, through the Transfer Agent, shall have provided a sufficient
number of certificates to evidence the Additional Common Stock and the Company
has provided, through the Trustee, a sufficient number of debt instruments to
evidence the Subordinated Debt;

                           (C) shall be regarded as making no representations

Rights Offering;

                           (D) shall not be obligated to take any legal action
hereunder; if, however, you determine to take any legal action hereunder, and
where the taking of such action might, in your judgment, subject or expose you
to any expense or liability you shall not be required to act unless you shall
have been furnished with an indemnity satisfactory to you;

                           (E) may rely on and shall be fully authorized and
protected in acting or failing to act upon any certificate, instrument, opinion,
notice, letter, telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or other document or

signed by the proper party or parties;

obligations relating to the Rights Offering, including the Company's obligations
under applicable securities laws;

                           (H) may rely on and shall be fully authorized and
protected in acting upon the written, telephonic or oral instructions with

the Company;

                           (I) may consult with counsel satisfactory to you, and

the Company by you at the prices set forth herein without the foregoing
liability limitation. Under no circumstances shall you be liable for any
special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any

this Agreement or the removal or resignation of you hereunder.

                  11. In the event any question or dispute arises with respect
to the proper interpretation of the Rights Offering or your duties hereunder or
the rights of the Company or of any shareholders surrendering Certificates
pursuant to the Rights Offering, you shall not be required to act and shall not
be held liable or responsible for your refusal to act until the question or
dispute has been judicially settled (and, if appropriate, you may file a suit in
interpleader or for a declaratory judgment for such purpose) by final judgment
rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction, binding on all parties interested
in the matter which is no longer subject to review or appeal, or settled by a
written document in form and substance satisfactory to you and executed by the
Company and each such stockholder and party. In addition, you may require for
such purpose, but shall not be obligated to require, the execution of such
written settlement by all the stockholders and all other parties that may have
an interest in the settlement.

                  14. The Company shall indemnify you (and your officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates) for, and hold you
harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim,
demand, settlement, cost or expense ("Loss") arising out of or in connection
with its acceptance or administration of, or performance under, this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of defending yourself
against any Loss, unless such Loss shall have been determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be a result of your gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Any costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this right of
indemnification shall be paid by the Company. This Section 14 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or the removal or your resignation hereunder.

                  15. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal,
invalid, or unenforceable by any court, this Agreement shall be construed and
enforced as if such


                                       9

provision had not been contained herein and shall be deemed an Agreement among

party or is bound, (c) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
the Company and constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation

litigation pending or threatened against the Company as of the date hereof in
connection with the Rights Offering.

                  17. In the event that any claim of inconsistency between this
Agreement and the terms of the Rights Offering arise, as they may from time to
time be amended, the terms of the Rights Offering shall control, except with
respect to the duties, liabilities and rights, including compensation and
indemnification of you as Subscription Agent, which shall be controlled by the
terms of this Agreement.

                  21. (A) In the event that either party receives a request or
becomes legally compelled to disclose any confidential information belonging to
the other party (whether by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for
information or documents, subpoena or similar process), recipient will provide
the other party with prompt notice so that it may seek a protective order or
other appropriate relief and/or waive the right to demand compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement. In the event that the party who owns the
confidential information waives the right to demand compliance, or is denied a
protective order or other relief by the highest court or other tribunal of
appropriate

                                       10

jurisdiction, recipient may disclose, without liability hereunder, only that
portion of the confidential information that recipient is legally obligated to
disclose.

                           (B) This Section 21 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement or your removal or resignation hereunder.

                  22. Neither party shall be liable to the other, or held in
breach of this Agreement, if prevented, hindered, or delayed in performance or
observance of any provision contained herein by reason of act of God, riots,
acts of war, acts of terrorism, epidemics, governmental action or judicial
order, earthquakes, or any other similar cause beyond such party's reasonable
control (including, but not limited to, mechanical, electronic or communications
interruptions, disruptions or failures). Performance times under this Agreement
shall be extended for a period of time equivalent to the time lost because of
any delay that is excusable under this Section.

                  23. If any part of this Agreement, for any reason, is declared
invalid, it shall be deemed restated to reflect as nearly as possible in
accordance with applicable law the original intentions of the parties. The
remainder of this Agreement shall continue in effect as if the Agreement had
been entered into without the invalid portion.

                  24. The relationship of the parties to each other in the
execution and performance of the Agreement shall be that of independent
contractors. Nothing in the Agreement or with respect to your obligations or
services in connection with the Agreement shall constitute you a fiduciary of
the Company or any other person.

                  25. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be an original
hereof, and it will not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to
produce or account for more than one counterpart hereof.

                  26. This Agreement sets forth the full understanding between
the parties with respect to its subject matter and integrates all prior
agreements, discussions and understandings.

                  27. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any
manner except by a written agreement duly authorized and executed by both
parties. Any duly authorized Officer may amend any certificate naming Officers
authorized to execute and deliver certificates, instructions, notices or other
instruments, provided such amendment is certified by the Company's Secretary,
and the Secretary may amend any certificate listing the shares of capital stock
of the Company for which you perform services hereunder.

                  28. This Agreement shall extend to and shall be binding upon
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

                  29. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the other party, except that either party may, without the
consent of the other party,


                                       11

<PAGE>
assign the Agreement to an affiliate of that party or a purchaser of all or
substantially all of that party's assets used in connection with performing this
Agreement.

                  30. The provisions of the Agreement are intended to benefit
only you and the Company, and no rights shall be granted to any other person by
virtue of this Agreement.

                  Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and confirm your
agreement concerning your appointment as Subscription Agent, and the
arrangements herein provided, by signing and returning the enclosed copy hereof,
whereupon this Agreement and your acceptance of the terms and conditions herein
provided shall constitute a binding Agreement between us.

                                           Very truly yours,

offering (the &#147;Rights Offering&#148;) by Childtime Learning
Centers, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;),
to holders of its Common Stock, no par value per share (the
&#147;Common Stock&#148;), as described in the Company&#146;s
Prospectus related to the Rights Offering
dated &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;,
2003 (the &#147;Prospectus&#148;). Each holder of record of the

non-transferable subscription right (collectively, the
&#147;Rights&#148;) for every 54 shares of the Common Stock held
by such record holder as of the close of business on the Record
Date.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As part of the Rights Offering, Rights
Subscription Certificates representing an aggregate of 100,000
Rights are being distributed. Each Right entitles the holder
thereof to purchase a unit (collectively, the
&#147;Units&#148;), consisting of (i)&nbsp;$35 principal amount
of 15% Subordinated Notes due 2008 (collectively, the
&#147;Subordinated Debt&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;shares of the
Common Stock pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege (as
defined below) and potentially one additional Unit pursuant to
the Over-Subscription Privilege (as defined below). Upon payment
of $<B>[158.75] </B>(the &#147;Subscription Price&#148;), each
Right is exercisable for the purchase of one Unit (the
&#147;Basic Subscription Privilege&#148;). In addition, subject
to the allocation described below, the Rights also entitle the
holders thereof to subscribe at the Subscription Price for
additional Units, not to exceed the number of Units available
for such holder to purchase under the Basic Subscription
Privilege (the &#147;Over-Subscription Privilege&#148;), up to
the maximum number of Units offered by the Prospectus. Units
will be available for purchase pursuant to the Over-Subscription
Privilege, to those holders who fully exercise their Rights
pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege, to the extent that
all the Units are not subscribed for through the exercise of the
Basic Subscription Privilege by the Expiration Time (as defined
below). If the Units so available (the &#147;Excess Units&#148;)
are not sufficient to satisfy all subscriptions pursuant to the
Over-Subscription Privilege, the available Excess Units will be
allocated pro rata (subject to the elimination of fractional
Units) among the holders of Rights who exercise their
Over-Subscription Privilege based on the ratio that the number
of Excess Units available bears to the total number of Units
that are the subject of over-subscription requests. See
&#147;The Rights Offering&nbsp;&#151; Over-Subscription
Privilege&#148; in the Prospectus.

clears by such date and are urged to consider payment by means
of certified check or bank draft (cashier&#146;s check), money
order or wire transfer of immediately available funds.</FONT></B>

may also transfer your Rights Subscription Certificate to your
bank or broker, make arrangements for the delivery of funds on
your behalf and request such bank or broker to exercise the
Rights represented by such Rights Subscription Certificate on
your behalf. Alternatively, you may cause a written guarantee,
substantially in the form available from the Subscription Agent
(the &#147;Notice of Guaranteed Delivery&#148;), from a member
firm of a registered national securities exchange or a member of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a
commercial bank or trust company having an office or
correspondent in the United States, or a member in good standing
of a recognized signature guarantee medallion program (each of
the foregoing being referred to as an &#147;Eligible
Institution&#148;), to be received by the Subscription Agent
prior to the Expiration Time, guaranteeing delivery of your
properly completed and executed Rights Subscription Certificate
within three Nasdaq SmallCap Market trading days following the
date of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. If this procedure is
followed, your Rights Subscription Certificate must be received
by the Subscription Agent within three Nasdaq SmallCap Market
trading days of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Additional
copies of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be obtained upon
request from the Subscription Agent at the address, or by
calling the telephone number, indicated below.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Banks, brokers and other nominee holders of
Rights who exercise Rights on behalf of beneficial owners of
Rights will be required to certify to the Subscription Agent and
the Company (by delivery to the Subscription Agent of a Nominee
Holder Certification substantially in the form available from
the Subscription Agent), as to the aggregate number of Rights
that have been exercised and the number of Units that are being
subscribed for pursuant to such exercise by each beneficial
owner of Rights (including such nominee itself) on whose behalf
such nominee holder is acting. If a Nominee Holder Certification
is not delivered in respect of a Rights Subscription
Certificate, the Subscription Agent shall for all purposes
(including for purposes of any allocation in connection with the
Over-Subscription Privilege) be entitled to assume that such
certificate is exercised on behalf of a single beneficial owner.
If more Excess Units are subscribed for pursuant to the
Over-Subscription Privilege than are available for sale, Excess
Units will be allocated, as described above, among beneficial
owners exercising the Over-Subscription Privilege based on the
ratio that the number of Units available bears to the total
number of Units that are the subject of over-subscription
requests.

<FONT size="2">This letter is being distributed to all holders
of record of the common stock (the &#147;Common Stock&#148;) of
Childtime Learning Centers, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) who
own at least 54 shares of Common Stock as of the close of
business
on &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;,
2003 (the &#147;Record Date&#148;), in connection with a
distribution of rights (the &#147;Rights&#148;) to acquire up to
100,000 Units, each unit consisting of $35 principal amount of
15% Subordinated Notes due 2008,
and &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to
receive one Right for each 54 shares of Common Stock held of
record as of the close of business on the Record Date. Each
Right received entitles the holder to purchase one Unit (the
&#147;Basic Subscription Privilege&#148;). The Rights also
entitle the holders thereof to subscribe at the Subscription
Price for additional Units, not to exceed the number of Units
available for such holder to purchase under the Basic
Subscription Privilege (the &#147;Over-Subscription
Privilege&#148;), subject to proration, as discussed below.
Units will be available for purchase pursuant to the
Over-Subscription Privilege, to those holders who fully exercise
their Rights pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege, to
the extent that all the Units are not subscribed for through the
exercise of the Basic Subscription Privilege by the Expiration
Date (as defined below). If the Units so available (the
&#147;Excess Units&#148;) are not sufficient to satisfy all
subscriptions pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege, the
Excess Units will be allocated pro rata (subject to the
elimination of fractional Units) among the holders of Rights who
exercise their Over-Subscription Privilege based on the ratio
that the number of Excess Units bears to the total number of
Units that are the subject of over-subscription requests.
