Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or

appropriate in order to ensure that subsequent transfers of the Note (or a
beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act,
or

            (2) after an Initial Note or any Initial Additional Note is (x) sold
      pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,
      pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise, or (y) is

beneficial interest in such a Note), each Holder thereof and each owner of a

Note (and any such beneficial interest) set forth in this Indenture and in the

beneficial interest) only in accordance with this Indenture and such legend.

      SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication; Exchange Notes; Additional
Notes. (a) An Officer shall execute the Notes for the Company by facsimile or
manual signature in the name and on behalf of the Company. If an Officer whose
signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is
authenticated, the Note will still be valid.

certificate of authentication on the Note, with the signature conclusive
evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

      (c) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the

                  (A) the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on
            which the Notes are to be authenticated,

                  (B) whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional
            Notes or Exchange Notes,

                  (C) in the case of Initial Additional Notes, that the issuance
            of such Notes does not contravene any provision of Article 4,

                  (D) whether the Notes are to be issued as one or more Global
            Notes or Certificated Notes, and


                                       33
<PAGE>

                  (E) other information the Company may determine to include or
            the Trustee may reasonably request.

            (2) In the case of Initial Additional Notes, receipt by the Trustee
      of an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the outstanding
      Notes will be subject to federal income tax in the same amounts, in the
      same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
      Additional Notes were not issued.

            (3) In the case of Exchange Notes, effectiveness of an Exchange
      Offer Registration Statement and consummation of the exchange offer
      thereunder (and receipt by the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate to that
      effect). Initial Notes or Initial Additional Notes exchanged for Exchange
      Notes will be cancelled by the Trustee.

      SECTION 2.03. Registrar, Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent; Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust. (a) The Company may appoint one or more Registrars
and one or more Paying Agents, and the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating
Agent, in which case each reference in this Indenture to the Trustee in respect
of the obligations of the Trustee to be performed by that Agent will be deemed
to be references to the Agent. The Company may act as Registrar or (except for
purposes of Article 8) Paying Agent. In each case the Company and the Trustee
will enter into an appropriate agreement with the Agent implementing the
provisions of this Indenture relating to the obligations of the Trustee to be
performed by the Agent and the related rights. The Company initially appoints
the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent.

      (b) The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of the
Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes and will promptly notify the Trustee of
any default by the Company in making any such payment. The Company at any time
may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and
account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the
continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent,
require the Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to
account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent will have no
further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee.

      SECTION 2.04. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the
Trustee or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or
wrongfully taken, the Company will issue and the Trustee will authenticate a
replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding. Every replacement Note is an additional
obligation of the Company and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. If
required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity must be furnished that is


                                       34
<PAGE>

sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Company to protect the
Company and the Trustee from any loss they may suffer if a Note is replaced. The
Company may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Company and the Trustee in
replacing a Note. In case the mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken
Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may pay the Note instead of issuing a replacement Note.

      SECTION 2.05. Outstanding Notes. (a) Notes outstanding at any time are all
Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for

            (1) Notes cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to it for
      cancellation;

            (2) any Note which has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.04 unless
      and until the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them
      that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser; and

            (3) on or after the maturity date or any redemption date or date for
      purchase of the Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, those Notes
      payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date for which the Trustee
      (or Paying Agent, other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company)
      holds money sufficient to pay all amounts then due.

      (b) A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of
its Affiliates holds the Note, provided that in determining whether the Holders
of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given or taken
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company
will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, (it being understood that
in determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying upon any such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, only Notes which the Trustee knows to be so owned will be so
disregarded). Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be
regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the
pledgee is not the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.

      SECTION 2.06. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee will authenticate temporary
Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but
may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to
be appropriate by the Officer executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by the
execution of the temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Company
will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for
definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency
of


                                       35
<PAGE>

the Company designated for the purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge
to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any temporary Notes the
Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized
denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes will be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

      SECTION 2.07. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. Any Registrar or the Paying
Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for transfer,
exchange or payment. The Trustee will cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer,
exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of them in accordance with its
normal procedures or the written instructions of the Company. The Company may
not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation.

      SECTION 2.08. CUSIP and CINS Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may
use "CUSIP" and "CINS" numbers, and the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers or CINS
numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a
convenience to Holders, the notice to state that no representation is made as to
the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained
in any notice of redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase. The Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or CINS numbers.

      SECTION 2.09. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Notes will be
issued in registered form only, without coupons, and the Company shall cause the
Trustee to maintain a register (the "Register") of the Notes, for registering
the record ownership of the Notes by the Holders and transfers and exchanges of
the Notes.

      (b) (1) Each Global Note will be registered in the name of the Depositary
or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Depositary thereof, will
bear the DTC Legend.

            (2) Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian
      for the Depositary. Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial
      interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not
      in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees,
      except (1) as set forth in Section 2.09(b)(4) and (2) transfers of
      portions thereof in the form of Certificated Notes may be made upon
      request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner)
      by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary
      in accordance


                                       36
<PAGE>

      with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this
      Section and Section 2.10.

            (3) Agent Members will have no rights under this Indenture with
      respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the
      Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
      Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global
      Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
      Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any
      Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial
      interest in a Global Note through an Agent Member) to take any action
      which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes, and
      nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent
      Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of
      the rights of a holder of any security.

            (4) If (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling
      or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Note and a successor
      depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the notice or
      (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has
      received a request from the Depositary, the Trustee will promptly exchange
      each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated
      Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal
      amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as
      identified to the Trustee by the Depositary, and thereupon the Global Note
      will be deemed canceled. If such Note does not bear the Restricted Legend,
      then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will not bear the
      Restricted Legend. If such Note bears the Restricted Legend, then the
      Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted
      Legend, provided that any Holder of any such Certificated Note issued in
      exchange for a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note
      will have the right upon presentation to the Trustee of a duly completed
      Certificate of Beneficial Ownership after the Restricted Period to
      exchange such Certificated Note for a Certificated Note of like tenor and
      amount that does not bear the Restricted Legend, registered in the name of
      such Holder.

      (c) Each Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the holder
thereof or its nominee.

      (d) A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to
another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another
Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a
written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or
requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other
document


                                       37
<PAGE>

required by Section 2.10. The Trustee will promptly register any transfer or
exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the
register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose; provided that

            (x) no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered
      in such register and

            (y) the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue, register the
      transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a
      selection of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to an Offer to
      Purchase, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so
      selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the
      case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not
      being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption or a purchase
      pursuant to an Offer to Purchase is to occur after a Regular Record Date
      but on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the
      transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Regular Record Date and
      before the date of redemption or purchase. Prior to the registration of
      any transfer, the Company, the Trustee and their agents will treat the
      Person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner and Holder
      thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will
      not be affected by notice to the contrary.

      From time to time the Company will execute and the Trustee will
authenticate additional Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration
of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section.

      No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of any Note, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge
payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(4)).

      (e) (1) Global Note to Global Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global
Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global
Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the
Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such
transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of
the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is
transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another
Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon
transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an
interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject
to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures
applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it
remains such an interest.

            (2) Global Note to Certificated Note. If a beneficial interest in a
      Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a Certificated Note, the
      Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global
      Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y)
      deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations
      having an equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case
      of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case of an
      exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or owner, as
      applicable.

            (3) Certificated Note to Global Note. If a Certificated Note is
      transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the
      Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated Note, (y) record an increase in
      the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of
      such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or
      exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled
      Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new
      Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate
      principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the
      canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

            (4) Certificated Note to Certificated Note. If a Certificated Note
      is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Note, the Trustee
      will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y)
      deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations
      having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
      transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the
      Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in the case of an exchange),
      registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and
      (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal
      amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof
      one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an
      aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged
      portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the
      Holder thereof.

      SECTION 2.10. Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange. (a) The transfer or
exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in
accordance with this Section and Section 2.09 and, in the case of a Global Note
(or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the
Depositary. The Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or
exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence.

      (b) Subject to paragraph (c), the transfer or exchange of any Note (or a
beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth in column A below for a Note
(or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth opposite in column B
below may


                                       39

only be made in compliance with the certification requirements (if any)
described in the clause of this paragraph set forth opposite in column C below.

            (1) No certification is required.

            (2) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or
      cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed Regulation S
      Certificate; provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made
      by the Holder of a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted
      Legend, then no certification is required.

            (3) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or
      cause to be delivered to the Trustee (x) a duly completed Rule 144A
      Certificate, (y) a duly completed Regulation S Certificate or (z) a duly
      completed Institutional Accredited Investor Certificate, and/or an Opinion
      of Counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may
      reasonably require in order to determine that the proposed transfer or
      exchange is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and any
      applicable securities laws of any state of the United States; provided
      that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the Holder of a
      Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no
      certification is required. In the event that (i) the requested transfer or
      exchange takes place after the Restricted Period and a duly completed
      Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the Trustee or (ii) a
      Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend is surrendered
      for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Trustee will
      deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend.

            (4) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or
      cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed Rule 144A
      Certificate.

            (5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
      such exchange is permitted if the requested exchange involves a beneficial
      interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note. If the requested


                                       40
<PAGE>

      transfer involves a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global
      Note, the Person requesting the transfer must deliver or cause to be
      delivered to the Trustee (x) a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate or (y)
      a duly completed Institutional Accredited Investor Certificate and/or an
      Opinion of Counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the
      Company may reasonably require in order to determine that the proposed
      transfer is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and any
      applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. If the
      requested transfer or exchange involves a beneficial interest in a
      Permanent Offshore Global Note, no certification is required and the
      Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted
      Legend.

      (c) No certification is required in connection with any transfer or
exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein)

            (1) after such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k)
      under the Securities Act (or a successor provision); provided that the
      Company has provided the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate to that
      effect, and the Company may require from any Person requesting a transfer
      or exchange in reliance upon this clause (1) an opinion of counsel and any
      other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such
      certificate; or

            (2) (x) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement,
      pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise or (y) which is
      validly tendered for exchange into an Exchange Note pursuant to an
      Exchange Offer.

      Any Certificated Note delivered in reliance upon this paragraph will not
bear the Restricted Legend.

      (d) The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other
documents received in connection with the transfer or exchange of a Note (or a
beneficial interest therein), and the Company will have the right to inspect and
make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Trustee.

      SECTION 2.11. Temporary Offshore Global Notes. (a) Each Note originally
sold by the Initial Purchasers in reliance upon Regulation S will be evidenced
by one or more Offshore Global Notes that bear the Temporary Offshore Global
Note Legend.

      (b) An owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note
(or a Person acting on behalf of such an owner) may provide to the Trustee (and
the Trustee will accept) a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership at
any time after the Restricted Period (it being understood that the


                                       41
<PAGE>

Trustee will not accept any such certificate during the Restricted Period).
Promptly after acceptance of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with respect
to such a beneficial interest, the Trustee will cause such beneficial interest
to be exchanged for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore
Global Note, and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such
Temporary Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y)
increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the
amount of such beneficial interest.

      (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, beneficial
interests in a Temporary Offshore Global Note may be held through the Depositary
only through Euroclear and Clearstream and their respective direct and indirect
participants.

      (d) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), if after the Restricted Period any
Initial Purchaser owns a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global
Note, such Initial Purchaser may, upon written request to the Trustee
accompanied by a certification as to its status as an Initial Purchaser,
exchange such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a
Permanent Offshore Global Note, and the Trustee will comply with such request
and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore
Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the
principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount of such
beneficial interest.

                            March 15
                             in Year         Percentage
                       -------------------   ----------

                       2009 and thereafter       100.00%

      Except pursuant to Section 3.02, the Notes will not be redeemable at the
Company's option prior to March 15, 2007.


                                       42
<PAGE>

      SECTION 3.02. Redemption with Proceeds of Equity Offering. At any time
prior to March 15, 2006, the Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem,
in whole or in part, up to 35% of the aggregate principle amount of the Notes
(including Additional Notes, if any) at a redemption price of 111.00% of the
principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the
Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date with the net cash proceeds of
one or more Equity Offerings, provided that

      (a) not less than 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
(including Additional Notes, if any, and excluding Notes held by Playboy and its
Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately thereafter;

      (b) in each case the redemption takes place not later than 90 days after
the closing of the related Equity Offering; and

      (c) any such redemption shall be for at least $20 million aggregate
principal amount of Notes.

      SECTION 3.03. Method and Effect of Redemption. (a) If the Company elects
to redeem Notes, it must notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the
principal amount of Notes to be redeemed by delivering an Officers' Certificate
at least 45 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter period is
satisfactory to the Trustee). If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed
at any time, the Officers' Certificate must also specify a record date not less
than 15 days after the date of the notice of redemption is given to the Trustee,
and the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed (1) if the Notes are
listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities
exchange on which the Notes are listed, or (2) if the Notes are not so listed,
on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee in its sole
discretion shall deem fair and appropriate, in denominations of $1,000 principal
amount and multiples thereof. No Notes of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in
part. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of
Notes to be called for redemption. Notice of redemption must be sent by first
class mail by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the
name and at the expense of the Company, to each Holder whose Notes are to be
redeemed at such Holder's registered address at least 30 days but not more than
60 days before the redemption date. Notices of redemption may not be
conditional.

      (b) The notice of redemption will identify the Notes to be redeemed and
will include or state the following:

            (1) the redemption date;

            (2) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing
      any accrued interest;



                                       43
<PAGE>

            (3) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for
      redemption;

            (4) that Notes called for redemption must be so surrendered in order
      to collect the redemption price;

            (5) that, on the redemption date, the redemption price will become
      due and payable on Notes called for redemption, and interest on Notes
      called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption
      date;

            (6) if any Note is redeemed in part, the portion of the principal
      amount thereof to be redeemed and that, on and after the redemption date,
      upon surrender of such Note, new Notes equal in principal amount to the
      unredeemed portion will be issued; and

            (7) that, if any Note contains a CUSIP or CINS number, no
      representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or CINS
      number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of
      redemption and that the Holder should rely only on the other
      identification numbers printed on the Notes.

      (c) Notes called for redemption become due and payable at the redemption
price on the redemption date, and upon surrender of the Notes called for
redemption, the Company shall redeem such Notes at the redemption price. On and
after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions
thereof called for redemption. Upon surrender of any Note redeemed in part, a
new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original
Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the
original Note.

      SECTION 3.04. Offer to Purchase. (a) An "Offer to Purchase" means an offer
by the Company to purchase Notes as required by this Indenture. An Offer to
Purchase must be made by written offer (the "offer") sent to the Holders. The
Company will notify the Trustee at least 15 days (or such shorter period as is
acceptable to the Trustee) prior to sending the offer to Holders of its
obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the offer will be sent by the
Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Company.

      (b) The offer must include or state the following as to the terms of the
Offer to Purchase:

            (1) the provision of this Indenture pursuant to which the Offer to
      Purchase is being made;


                                       44
<PAGE>

            (2) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes offered
      to be purchased by the Company pursuant to the Offer to Purchase
      (including, if less than 100%, the manner by which such amount has been
      determined pursuant to this Indenture) (the "purchase amount");

            (3) the purchase price, including the portion thereof representing
      accrued interest;

            (4) an expiration date (the "expiration date") not less than 30 days
      or more than 60 days after the date of the offer, and a settlement date
      for purchase (the "purchase date") not more than five Business Days after
      the expiration date;

            (5) that a Holder may tender all or any portion of its Notes,
      subject to the requirement that any portion of a Note tendered must be in
      a multiple of $1,000 principal amount;

            (6) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for tender
      pursuant to the Offer to Purchase;

            (7) that each Holder electing to tender a Note pursuant to the offer
      will be required to surrender such Note at the place or places specified
      in the offer prior to the close of business on the expiration date (such
      Note being, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, duly endorsed or
      accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer);

            (8) that interest on any Note not tendered, or tendered but not
      purchased by the Company pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, will continue
      to accrue;

            (9) that on the purchase date the purchase price will become due and
      payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes
      purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date;

            (10) that Holders are entitled to withdraw Notes tendered by giving
      notice, which must be received by the Company or the Trustee not later
      than the close of business on the expiration date, setting forth the name
      of the Holder, the principal amount of the tendered Notes, the certificate
      number of the tendered Notes and a statement that the Holder is
      withdrawing all or a portion of the tender;

            (11) that (i) if Notes in an aggregate principal amount less than or
      equal to the purchase amount are duly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant
      to the Offer to Purchase, the Company will purchase all such Notes, and
      (ii) if the Offer to Purchase is for less than all of the


                                       45
<PAGE>

      outstanding Notes and Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of
      the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer,
      the Company will purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal
      to the purchase amount (1) if the Notes are listed, in compliance with the
      requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the
      Notes are listed, or (2) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata
      basis, with adjustments so that only Notes in multiples of $1,000
      principal amount will be purchased;

            (12) that, if any Note is purchased in part, new Notes equal in
      principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Note will be issued;
      and

            (13) that, if any Note contains a CUSIP or CINS number, no
      representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or CINS
      number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the offer and
      that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers
      printed on the Notes.

      (c) Prior to the purchase date, the Company will accept tendered Notes for
purchase as required by the Offer to Purchase and deliver to the Trustee all
Notes so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate specifying which Notes
have been accepted for purchase. On the purchase date, the purchase price will
become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes
purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date. The Trustee will
promptly return to Holders any Notes not accepted for purchase and send to
Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any
Notes accepted for purchase in part.

      (d) The Company will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and all
other applicable laws in making any Offer to Purchase, and the above procedures
will be deemed modified as necessary to permit such compliance.

                                    ARTICLE 4
                                    COVENANTS

      SECTION 4.01. Payment of Notes. (a) The Company agrees to pay the
principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided
in the Notes and this Indenture. Not later than 9:00 A.M. (New York City time)
on the due date of any principal of or interest on any Notes, or any redemption
or purchase price of the Notes, the Company will deposit with the Trustee (or
Paying Agent) money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such
amounts, provided that if the Company or any Affiliate of the Company is acting
as Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date, segregate and hold in a
separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to
pay such amounts


                                       46
<PAGE>

until paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this
Indenture. In each case the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its
compliance with this paragraph.

      (b) An installment of principal or interest will be considered paid on the
date due if the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company) holds on that date money designated for and sufficient
to pay the installment. If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company acts as
Paying Agent, an installment of principal or interest will be considered paid on
the due date only if paid to the Holders.

      (c) The Company agrees to pay interest on overdue principal, and overdue
installments of interest at the rate per annum specified in the Notes.

      (d) Payments in respect of the Notes represented by the Global Notes are
to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts
specified by the Holders of the Global Notes. With respect to Certificated
Notes, the Company will make all payments by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof or, if no such
account is specified, by mailing a check to each Holder's registered address.

      SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain
in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where
Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for
presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company hereby
initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as such office of
the Company. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any
time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails
to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served to the Trustee.

      The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices
or agencies where the Notes may be surrendered or presented for any of such
purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission
and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

      SECTION 4.03. Existence. Playboy will do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and the
existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with their
respective organizational documents, and the material rights, licenses and
franchises of the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary, provided that Playboy
is not required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the
existence of any Restricted Subsidiary, if the maintenance or preservation
thereof is no longer desirable in the


                                       47
<PAGE>

conduct of the business of Playboy and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a
whole; and provided further that this Section does not prohibit any transaction
otherwise permitted by Section 4.13 or Article 5.

      SECTION 4.04. [Intentionally omitted.]

      SECTION 4.05. Maintenance of Properties and Insurance. (a) Playboy will
cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the
business of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good
condition, repair and working order as in the judgment of Playboy may be
necessary so that the business of Playboy and its Restricted Subsidiaries may be
properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided that nothing in
this Section prevents Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from
discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties or
disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment
of Playboy, desirable in the conduct of the business of Playboy and its
Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

      (b) Playboy will provide or cause to be provided, for itself and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance)
against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by corporations
similarly situated and owning like properties, including, but not limited to,
liability insurance, with reputable insurers, in such amounts, with such
deductibles and by such methods as are customary for corporations similarly
situated in the industry in which Playboy and its Restricted Subsidiaries are
then conducting business.

      SECTION 4.06. Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of
Preferred Stock.

      (a) Playboy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee
or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise,
with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired
Debt), and Playboy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any preferred stock; provided, however, that
the Company and any Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt)
or issue Disqualified Stock, if, after giving effect to such incurrence, the
Leverage Ratio for Playboy's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for
which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date
on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred would have been no greater
than 5.0 to 1.0 but greater than zero.

      (b) Clause (a) of this Section will not prohibit the incurrence of any of
the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):


                                       48
<PAGE>

            (1) the incurrence by the Company or any Guarantor of Indebtedness
      under Credit Facilities (and the incurrence by the Guarantors of
      guarantees thereof); provided that the aggregate principal amount at any
      one time outstanding thereunder including, without limitation, Hedging
      Obligations owing to the lenders thereunder and their affiliates (with
      letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the
      maximum potential liability of Playboy and its Restricted Subsidiaries
      thereunder) does not exceed $30 million plus interest, fees, costs and
      expenses, less the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales
      applied by Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to repay any
      Indebtedness under Credit Facilities (and, in the case of any revolving
      credit Indebtedness under a Credit Facility, to effect a corresponding
      commitment reduction thereunder) pursuant to Section 4.13;

            (2) the incurrence by Playboy or any Restricted Subsidiary of the
      Existing Indebtedness other than Indebtedness described under clauses (6),
      (7), (8), (10) or (14) of this Section 4.06(b);

            (3) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness
      represented by the Notes (excluding any Additional Notes) and the related
      Note Guarantees to be issued on the date of this Indenture and the
      Exchange Notes (excluding any Additional Notes) and the related Note
      Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;

            (4) the incurrence by Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
      of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations or Attributable
      Debt, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case,
      incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase
      price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or
      equipment used in the business of Playboy or such Restricted Subsidiary,
      in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing
      Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness
      incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed $2.5 million at any
      time outstanding;

            (5) the incurrence by Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
      of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds
      of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than
      intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted to be incurred under Section
      4.06(a) or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (11) or (13) of this Section
      4.06(b);

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


                                       49
<PAGE>

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

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

            (7) the incurrence by Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
      of Hedging Obligations that are incurred in the normal course of business
      and not for speculative purposes;

            (8) the incurrence by Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
      of Indebtedness with respect to letters of credit and bankers' acceptances
      issued in the ordinary course of business and not supporting Indebtedness,
      including letters of credit in respect of workmen's compensation claims or
      self-insurance or supporting performance, bid, surety, appeal and similar
      bonds or indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar
      obligations incurred in connection with the disposition of any business or
      assets (other than a Guarantee of Indebtedness of the Person acquiring any
      such business or assets); provided that the Indebtedness is not reflected
      on Playboy's consolidated balance sheet as a liability;

            (9) Indebtedness of Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
      to the extent the net proceeds thereof are promptly deposited to defease
      the Notes;

            (10) the guarantee by the Company or any of the Guarantors of
      Indebtedness of Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that was
      permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant;

            (11) Acquired Debt, provided that such Indebtedness is not incurred
      in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with
      or into, or becoming a Subsidiary of Playboy and, after giving effect to
      the Incurrence thereof, Playboy could Incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness
      under the Leverage Ratio first set forth above;


                                       50
<PAGE>

            (12) the incurrence by Foreign Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in an
      aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $2.0
      million;

            (13) the incurrence by the Company or any Guarantor of additional
      Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as
      applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing
      Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness
      incurred pursuant to this clause (13), not to exceed $10.0 million; and

            (14) the issuance of the Hefner Securities.

      For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.06, in the
event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (14) of Section
4.06(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.06(a), the Company
will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its
incurrence, or to later reclassify such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that
complies with this Section 4.06. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities
outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under
this Indenture shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on
the exception provided by clauses (1) or (2) of Section 4.06(b).

      The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue
discount and the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of
additional Indebtedness with the same terms will not be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.06; provided, in each
such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of Playboy as
accrued. The payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred stock in
the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or
preferred stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an
issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock for purposes of this Section
4.06; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed
Charges of Playboy as accrued to the extent required by the definition thereof.

      SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Restricted Payments.

      (a) Playboy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

            (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or
      distribution on account of Playboy's or any of its Restricted
      Subsidiaries' Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment
      in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Playboy or any of
      its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of
      Playboy's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests in their
      capacity as such (other than


                                       51
<PAGE>

      (a) dividends, payments or distributions payable in Equity Interests of
      Playboy (other than Disqualified Stock) and (b) dividends or distributions
      payable to Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries);

            (2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value
      (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or
      consolidation involving Playboy or any of its Subsidiaries) any Equity
      Interests of Playboy, any direct or indirect parent of Playboy or any
      Subsidiary of Playboy (other than a Restricted Subsidiary of Playboy) held
      by a Person other than Playboy or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

            (3) make any voluntary or optional payment on or with respect to, or
      voluntarily or optionally purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire
      or retire any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Notes or the Note
      Guarantees;

            (4) make any payment on or with respect to any Califa Obligation
      other than (i) payments consisting of Equity Interests (other than
      Disqualified Stock) of Playboy and (ii) payments on or with respect to
      Califa Obligations that are, pursuant to the terms of the Califa Agreement
      as in effect as of the date of this Indenture, (A) due during the year
      ended December 31, 2003, (B) due during the year ended December 31, 2004
      or (C) required to be paid in cash; or

            (5) make any Restricted Investment;

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (5) above
being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"),

unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

            (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
      continuing; and

            (B) Playboy would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after
      giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been
      made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been
      permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to
      the Leverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.06(a); and

            (C) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of
      all other Restricted Payments made by Playboy and its Restricted
      Subsidiaries on or after the date of this Indenture (excluding Restricted
      Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5) and (9) of Section
      4.07(b)), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:


                                       52
<PAGE>

                  (i) (x) 100% of the Consolidated Cash Flow of Playboy for the
            period (or, if such Consolidated Cash Flow for such period is a
            deficit, less 100% of such deficit), taken as one accounting period,
            from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the
            date of this Indenture to the end of Playboy's most recently ended
            fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available
            at the time of the Restricted Payment, less (y) 150% of cumulative
            Fixed Charges for the portion of such period ending on or prior to
            December 31, 2004 and 160% of cumulative Fixed Charges for the
            portion of such period ending after such date; plus

                  (ii) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by
            Playboy since the date of this Indenture from the issue or sale of
            Equity Interests of Playboy, other than Disqualified Stock, or from
            the issuance and sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified
            Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of Playboy that
            have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests,
            other than Equity Interests or Disqualified Stock or debt securities
            sold to a Subsidiary of Playboy; plus

                  (iii) the cash return after the date of this Indenture (not
            included in Consolidated Cash Flows) with respect to any Restricted
            Investment that was made after the date of this Indenture that is
            sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash; plus

                  (iv) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary is
            redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this
            Indenture, the fair market value of such Subsidiary as of the date
            of such redesignation.

      (b) Section 4.07(a) will not prohibit, so long as no Default has occurred
and is continuing or would be caused thereby in the case of clauses (6), (9) and
(10):

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

            (2) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other
      acquisition of (a) any principal or interest on the Hefner Securities, (b)

      exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds from the substantially
      concurrent sale or issuance (other than to a Subsidiary of Playboy) of, or
      otherwise in exchange for, Equity Interests of Playboy (other than
      Disqualified Stock);


                                       53
<PAGE>

      provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized
      for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other
      acquisition shall be excluded from clause (C)(ii) of Section 4.07(a);

            (3) the conversion of Playboy.com Series A Preferred Stock into
      Playboy.com Common Stock pursuant to the terms thereof as in effect on the
      date of this Indenture;

      agreement or stock option agreement or (b) any employee benefit plan for
      employees, directors or former directors, provided that the aggregate
      price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity
      Interests shall not exceed $250,000 in any twelve-month period, with any
      unused portion available for future periods;

            (7) repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise
      of stock options if such Capital Stock represents a portion of the
      exercise price thereof;

            (8) the mandatory redemption of any of the shares of Playboy.com
      Series A Preferred Stock held by ACTV, Inc. as of the date of this
      Indenture at the option of the holder thereof pursuant to the terms
      thereof as in effect on the date of this Indenture;

            (9) the payment of dividends on the Hefner Securities pursuant to
      the terms thereof as contemplated by the Exchange Agreement dated March
      11, 2003 by and among Hugh M. Hefner, Playboy.com, the Company and

            (10) any other Restricted Payments in an amount not to exceed $2.5
      million in the aggregate.

      (c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the
fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or
securities proposed to be transferred or issued to or by Playboy or such
Restricted Subsidiary,


                                       54
<PAGE>

as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of
any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant shall
be determined by the Board of Directors whose resolution with respect thereto
shall be delivered to the trustee. The Board of Directors' determination must be
based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or
investment banking firm of national standing if the fair market value exceeds
$5.0 million. Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such
Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the
calculations required by this Section 4.07 were computed, together with a copy
of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by this Indenture. In determining
whether any Restricted Payment is permitted by this Section 4.07, the Company
may allocate all or any portion of such Restricted Payment among the categories
described in clauses (1) through (10) of Section 4.07(b) or among such
categories and the types of Restricted Payments set forth in Section 4.07(a);
provided that at the time of such allocation, all such Restricted Payments, or
allocated portions thereof, would be permitted under this Section 4.07.

      SECTION 4.08. Limitation on Liens. Playboy will not, and will not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause
or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than
Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter
acquired.

      SECTION 4.09. Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions
Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

      (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), Playboy will not, and will not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or
permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on
the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

            (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital
      Stock to Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to
      any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or
      pay any indebtedness owed to Playboy or any of its Restricted
      Subsidiaries;

            (2) make loans or advances to Playboy or any of its Restricted
      Subsidiaries; or

            (3) transfer any of its properties or assets to Playboy or any of

      date of this Indenture and any amendments, modifications, restatements,

      thereof, provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements,
      renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings
      are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those
      contained in such Existing Indebtedness or other agreements, as
      applicable, as in effect on the date of this Indenture;

            (2) the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture
      and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
      supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof, provided
      that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
      supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more
      restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the Credit
      Agreement, as in effect on the date of this Indenture;

            (3) this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Security
      Documents;

            (4) applicable law or any rule, regulation or order;

            (5) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a
      Person acquired by Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in
      effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such
      Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such
      acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any
      Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person,
      or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that, in
      the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of
      this Indenture to be incurred;

            (6) customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in
      the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;

      course of business that impose restrictions on the property so acquired of
      the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;

      substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of a Restricted
      Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary
      pending its sale or other disposition;

            (9) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the
      restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted
      Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a
      whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness
      being refinanced;


                                       56

      Subsidiaries incurred pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(12);

            (11) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of
      assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements,

      ordinary course of business;

            (12) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by
      customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

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

            (14) any instrument governing Indebtedness of any Guarantor; and

            (15) at any time when any Hefner Securities of the Company are

      SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Equity Interests in
Restricted Subsidiaries.

      (a) Playboy will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, issue, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of
any Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary of Playboy to any Person
(other than Playboy or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of Playboy), unless:

            (1) such issuance, transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other
      disposition is of all the Equity Interests in such Restricted Subsidiary,
      and the cash Net Proceeds from such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or
      other disposition are applied in accordance with Section 4.13;

            (2) if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance, transfer,
      conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition, such Restricted Subsidiary
      would no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary and any Investment in
      such Person remaining after giving effect to such issuance or sale would
      have been permitted to be made under Section 4.07 if made on the date of
      such issuance or sale.

            (3) the sale or issuance is of Capital Stock representing directors
      qualifying shares or Capital Stock required by law to be held by a Person
      other than Playboy or a Restricted Subsidiary; or

            (4) such issuance is of the Hefner Securities.

      (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Playboy.com may issue Playboy.com
Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock to holders of Playboy.com Series A
Preferred Stock as required by the terms thereof as in effect on the date of
this Indenture.

      SECTION 4.11. Additional Note Guarantees.

      (a) If Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates
another Domestic Restricted Subsidiary on or after the date of this Indenture,
then that newly acquired or created Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall become
a Guarantor, execute a supplemental indenture, become party to such Security
Documents and deliver to the Trustee such documents as are reasonably necessary
( as determined pursuant to an Officers' Certificate) to grant to the Trustee
(and permit the Trustee to perfect) a Lien on all assets and rights and
interests in the property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, of such
Person (to the same extent contemplated by the Security Documents in effect on
the date of this Indenture) and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, to
the effect that the supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Restricted Subsidiary, enforceable against the Restricted
Subsidiary in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions),
within 20 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created.

      (b) In the event Playboy.com becomes a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary
after the date of this Indenture, Playboy.com and each of its Domestic
Restricted Subsidiaries shall become a Guarantor, execute a supplemental
indenture, become party to such Security Documents and deliver to the Trustee
such documents as are reasonably necessary to grant to the Trustee (and permit
the Trustee to perfect) a Lien on all assets and rights and interests in the
property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, of such Person (to the same
extent contemplated by the Security Documents in effect on the date of this
Indenture) and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, to the effect that
the supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
Playboy.com and each of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries and constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of the Restricted Subsidiary, enforceable against
the Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with its terms (subject to customary
exceptions), within 20 Business Days of the date it became a Wholly Owned
Restricted Subsidiary.

      SECTION 4.12. Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control.

      (a) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail
a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that
constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase (the "Change of
Control Offer") Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the
notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days
from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures described in the
notice.


                                       58
<PAGE>

Pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, each Holder of Notes will have the
right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or
an integral multiple thereof) of that Holder's Notes on the terms set forth
herein. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a payment in cash
(the "Change of Control Payment") equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated
Damages, if any, thereon, to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control
Payment Date").

      (b) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the
repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Section 4.12, the Company will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under this Section 4.12 by virtue of such conflict.

      (c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent
lawful:

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

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

            (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so
      accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate
      principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the
      Company.

      (d) The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will
promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to
each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of
the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a
principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Unless the Company
defaults on the Change of Control Payment, any Note accepted for payment will
cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date.

      (e) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer
upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in
the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set
forth in clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 4.12 and purchases


                                       59
<PAGE>

all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

      SECTION 4.13. Limitation on Asset Sales.

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

            (1) Playboy (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be)
      receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to
      the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or
      otherwise disposed of;

            (2) such fair market value is determined by the Board of Directors
      and, if the fair market value is in excess of $2.5 million, evidenced by a
      resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate
      delivered to the Trustee; and

            (3) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by Playboy
      or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.
      For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to
      be cash:

                  (A) any liabilities (as shown on Playboy's most recent
            consolidated balance sheet), of Playboy or any Restricted Subsidiary
            (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their
            terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are
            assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary
            written novation agreement that releases Playboy or such Restricted
            Subsidiary from further liability; and

                  (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by
            Playboy or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that
            are converted by Playboy or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or
            Cash Equivalents within 90 days of receipt (to the extent of the
            cash received in that conversion);

      provided, that the 75% requirement referred to above in this clause (3)
      will not apply to any Asset Sale in which the cash portion of such
      consideration received therefor on an after tax basis, determined in
      accordance with this clause (3), is equal to or greater than what the
      after tax net proceeds would have been had such transaction complied with
      the 75% requirement.

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


                                       60
<PAGE>

            (1) to permanently repay Indebtedness incurred under the Credit
      Agreement that is secured by the Collateral and, if the Indebtedness
      repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce
      commitments with respect thereto;

            (2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a
      majority of the Voting Stock of, another Person that thereupon becomes a
      Restricted Subsidiary engaged in a Permitted Business; provided that the
      assets (including Voting Stock) acquired with the Net Proceeds thereof are
      pledged as Collateral under the Security Documents substantially
      simultaneously with such acquisition in accordance with the requirements
      of this Indenture;

            (3) to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful in a
      Permitted Business (to the extent such capital expenditure is capitalized
      on Playboy's consolidated balance sheet in accordance with GAAP);

            (4) to acquire other long-term assets in or that are used or useful
      in a Permitted Business; or

            (5) any combination of the foregoing;

provided that the Company may not apply more than 50% of the net proceeds from
any Asset Sale involving the sale of the Playboy Mansion pursuant to clause (2),
(3), (4) or (5) of this Section 4.13(b).

      (c) Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company
may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net
Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantors may not apply any of the net
proceeds from any Asset Sale involving all or substantially all of Playboy's and
its Subsidiaries' interest in the Playboy or Rabbit Head Design trademarks
pursuant to any of the clauses above, but shall be required to make an Asset
Sale Offer with such proceeds.

      (d) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as
provided in clause (c) will constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate
amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company shall make an offer
to all Holders of Notes and all Holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu
with the Notes and secured by Collateral to purchase the maximum principal
amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out
of the Excess Proceeds (an "Asset Sale Offer"). The offer price in any Asset
Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be
payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset
Sale Offer, the Company may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not
otherwise


                                       61
<PAGE>

prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and
such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds
the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other
pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the
principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon
completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be
reset at zero.

      (e) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each
repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of
this Section 4.13, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws
and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under
this Section 4.13 by virtue of such conflict.

      SECTION 4.14. Transactions with Affiliates.

      (a) Subject to clause (b) of this Section 4.14, Playboy will not, and will
not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell,
lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or
purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any
transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee
with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"),
unless:

            (1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less
      favorable to Playboy or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that
      would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Playboy or such
      Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

            (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee:

                  (A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
            related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
            excess of $1.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set
            forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate
            Transaction complies with this Section 4.14 and that such Affiliate
            Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested
            members of the Board of Directors; and

                  (B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
            related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in
            excess of $5.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to Playboy or
            such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a


                                       62
<PAGE>

            financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or
            investment banking firm of national standing.

      (b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions
and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of clause (a) of this
Section 4.14.

            (1) transactions between or among Playboy and/or its Restricted
      Subsidiaries;

            (2) transactions or payments pursuant to any employee, officer or
      director compensation or benefit plans or arrangements entered into in the
      ordinary course of business to Persons who are not otherwise Affiliates of
      Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

            (3) advances to employees for moving, entertainment and travel
      expenses, drawing accounts and similar expenditures in the ordinary course
      of business, and in any case in an aggregate amount outstanding not
      exceeding $2.0 million at any time;

            (4) sale of an option to a Principal pursuant to which a Principal
      or Related Party has the right to purchase the Playboy Mansion and items
      of personal property located at the Playboy Mansion, if

                  (A) the exercise price thereof is determined

                        (i) in accordance with the provisions of clause (a) of
                  this Section 4.14,

                        (ii) pursuant to another third-party appraisal process
                  approved by a majority of the independent directors of Playboy
                  or

                        (iii) pursuant to a right of first refusal mechanism and
                  equal to or greater than the amount of a bona fide offer made
                  by a Person that is not an Affiliate of Playboy or any of its
                  Restricted Subsidiaries, which offer has been approved by a
                  majority of the independent directors of Playboy;

            provided, however, that following the occurrence of a Default or
            Event of Default or a default or event of default under the Credit
            Agreement, the right of such Principal or Related Party to exercise
            such option (or to close the purchase, if the occurrence took place
            after the exercise of such option) shall be based only upon a
            third-party appraisal process approved by a majority of the
            independent directors of Playboy; and


                                       63
<PAGE>

                  (B) following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default
            or a default or event of default under the Credit Agreement, such
            option expires after the 30-day period immediately following the
            delivery to such Principal or Related Party of a notice from the
            agent under the Credit Agreement or the Trustee and, if such
            Principal or Related Party exercises such option during the 30-day
            period, such Principal or Related Party shall have an additional 90
            days after the exercise of the option to complete the purchase of
            the Playboy Mansion;

            (5) Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.07; and

            (6) transactions pursuant to the Playboy Mansion West Lease
      Agreement between Playboy and Hugh Hefner or the Hefner Securities, as
      amended, modified or replaced from time to time so long as the amended,
      modified or new agreements, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to
      Playboy and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those in effect on the date
      of this Indenture.

      SECTION 4.15. Business Activities. Playboy will not, and will not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than
Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to Playboy
and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

      SECTION 4.16. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

      (a) Subject to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 4.16, the Board of
Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default; provided that in no
event shall

            (1) the business currently operated by Playboy.com and its
      Subsidiaries be transferred to or held by an Unrestricted Subsidiary or

            (2) the Company be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

      (b) If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned
by Playboy and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will
be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of such designation and that
designation will only be permitted if such Investment would be permitted at that
time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary.

      (c) Any designation pursuant to this Section 4.16 shall be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of Playboy of any


                                       64
<PAGE>

outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation
shall only be permitted if

            (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.06, calculated on
      a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of
      the four-quarter reference period; and

            (2) no Default or Event of Default would have occurred and be
      continuing following such designation.

      (d) (1) A Subsidiary previously designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary
which at any time fails to meet the qualifications set forth in paragraph (a)
will be deemed to become at that time a Restricted Subsidiary, subject to the
consequences set forth in paragraph (f).

            (2) The Board of Directors may designate an Unrestricted Subsidiary
      to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the designation would not cause a
      Default.

      (e) Upon a Restricted Subsidiary becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary,

            (1) all existing Investments of the Company and the Restricted
      Subsidiaries therein (valued at the Company's proportional share of the
      fair market value of its assets less liabilities) will be deemed made at
      that time;

            (2) all existing Capital Stock or Debt of the Company or a
      Restricted Subsidiary held by it will be deemed Incurred at that time, and
      all Liens on property of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it
      will be deemed incurred at that time;

            (3) all existing transactions between it and the Company or any
      Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed entered into at that time;

            (4) it is released at that time from its Note Guarantee, if any; and

            (5) it will cease to be subject to the provisions of this Indenture
      as a Restricted Subsidiary.

      (f) Upon an Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming, or being deemed to become, a
Restricted Subsidiary,

            (1) all of its Debt and Disqualified or Preferred Stock will be
      deemed Incurred at that time for purposes of Section 4.06, but will not be


                                       65
<PAGE>

      considered the sale or issuance of Equity Interests for purposes of
      Section 4.10 or Section 4.13;

            (2) Investments therein previously charged under Section 4.07 will
      be credited thereunder;

            (3) it may be required to issue a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section
      4.11; and

            (4) it will thenceforward be subject to the provisions of this
      Indenture as a Restricted Subsidiary.

      (g) Any designation by the Board of Directors of a Subsidiary as a
Restricted Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the
Trustee by promptly filing with the Trustee a copy of the Board Resolution
giving effect to the designation and an Officer's Certificate certifying that
the designation complied with the foregoing provisions.

      SECTION 4.17. Financial Reports. (a) Whether or not required by the
Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, Playboy will furnish to the
Holders of Notes, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules
and regulations:

            (1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be
      required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and
      10-K if Playboy were required to file such Forms, including a
      "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
      of Operations" and, with respect to the annual information only, a report
      on the annual financial statements by Playboy's certified independent
      accountants; and

            (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the
      Commission on Form 8-K if Playboy were required to file such reports.

      In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, Playboy will file
a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2)
above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods
specified in the Commission's rules and regulations (unless the Commission will
not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities
analysts and prospective investors upon request.

      (b) For so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and constitute
"restricted securities" under Rule 144, the Company will furnish to the Holders
of the Notes, securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request,
the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act, it being understood that so long as the requirements of Rule
12h-5


                                       66
<PAGE>

under the Exchange Act are satisfied, filings by Playboy with the Commission
will satisfy such requirement.

      (c) All obligors on the Notes will comply with Section 314(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act.

      (d) Delivery of these reports and information to the Trustee is for
informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of them will 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 4.18. Reports to Trustee.

      (a) The Company will deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year a certificate from the principal executive, financial or
accounting officer of the Company stating that the officer has conducted or
supervised a review of the activities of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries and their performance under this Indenture and that, based upon

<PAGE>

      any Indebtedness for money borrowed by Playboy or any of its Restricted
      Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Playboy or any of
      its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now
      exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, if that default:

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

                  (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to
            its express maturity,

      and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together
      with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there
      has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so
      accelerated, aggregates $7.5 million or more;

            (6) failure by Playboy or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay
      final judgments aggregating in excess of $7.5 million, excluding amounts
      covered by insurance under applicable policies, which judgments are not
      paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

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

            (8) the Liens created by the Security Documents shall at any time
      not constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any material portion of the
      Collateral intended to be covered thereby (to the extent perfection by
      filing, registration, recordation or possession is required by this
      Indenture or the Security Documents), or, except for expiration in
      accordance with its terms or amendment, modification, waiver, termination
      or release in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, any of the
      Security Documents shall for whatever reason be terminated or cease to be
      in full force and effect, if in either case, such default continues for 30
      days after notice, or the enforceability thereof shall be contested by the
      Company or any Guarantor; and

            (9) (A) an involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against
      Playboy or any of its Significant Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to
      it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now
      or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver,
      liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any


                                       73
<PAGE>

      substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other
      proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or an
      order for relief is entered against Playboy or any of its Significant
      Restricted Subsidiaries under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or
      hereafter in effect; or (B) Playboy or any of its Significant Restricted
      Subsidiaries (i) commences a voluntary case under any applicable
      bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or
      consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under
      any such law, (ii) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by
      a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or
      similar official of Playboy or any of its Significant Restricted
      Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of
      Playboy or any of its Significant Restricted Subsidiaries or (iii) effects
      any general assignment for the benefit of creditors (an event of default
      specified in this clause (9) a "Bankruptcy Default")

      SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.

      In the case of an Event of Default arising from a Bankruptcy Default with
respect to the Company or Playboy, all outstanding Notes will become due and
payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, and the Trustee at the
request of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes shall, declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such
a declaration, the principal of and interest on the Notes shall be immediately
due and payable.

      SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as trustee of an express
trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the
payment of principal of and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance
of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a
proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any
of them in the proceeding.

      SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Except as otherwise provided in
Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Notes may, by notice to the Trustee, waive any existing Default
or Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, the Default or Event
of Default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will
be deemed to have been cured, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent
or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

      SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee


                                       74
<PAGE>

may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or
any of the Security Documents, that may involve the Trustee in personal
liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such
direction, and may take any other action it deems proper that is not
inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes.

      SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not institute any
proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or
any of the Security Documents, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee,
or for any other remedy under this Indenture or the Notes, unless:

            (1) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of
      a continuing Event of Default;

            (2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
      outstanding Notes have made written request to the Trustee to institute
      proceedings in respect of the Event of Default in its own name as Trustee
      under this Indenture;

            (3) Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably
      satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or expenses to
      be incurred in compliance with such request;

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

            (5) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in
      aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the
      Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request.

      SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the right of a Holder of a Note to
receive payment of principal of or interest on its Note on or after the Stated
Maturities thereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on
or after such respective dates, may not be impaired or affected without the
consent of such Holder.

      SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in
payment of principal or interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and
as trustee of an express trust for the whole amount of principal and accrued
interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and
overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the
Notes, and such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses
of collection,


                                       75
<PAGE>

including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee
hereunder.

      SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file
proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and the Holders
allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company or any Guarantor or
their respective creditors or property, and is entitled and empowered to
collect, receive and distribute any money, securities or other property payable
or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such claims.
Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, if the Trustee consents to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee hereunder. Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to empower the
Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder,
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote
in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

      SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to
this Article 6, or upon collection of any amounts pursuant to any Security
Document, it shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, pay out
the money in the following order:

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

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

            Third: to the Company or any other obligors on the Notes, as their
      interests may appear, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

      The Trustee, upon written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and
payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section.

      SECTION 6.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any
Holder has instituted a proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this
Indenture and the proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason,


                                       76
<PAGE>

or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to the Holder, then, subject
to any determination in the proceeding, the Company, any Guarantors, the Trustee
and the Holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, any
Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.

      SECTION 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party
litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and
the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does
not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Company or any Guarantor, a
suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 to enforce payment of principal of or
interest on any Note on the respective due dates, or a suit by Holders of more
than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

      SECTION 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided
with respect to the replacement or payment of lost, destroyed or wrongfully
taken Notes in Section 2.04, no right or remedy conferred or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Holders under this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of
any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent
permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not
prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy.

      SECTION 6.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event
of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any
such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given
by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised
from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by
the Holders, as the case may be.

      SECTION 6.15. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company and
each Guarantor covenants, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will
not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take
the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other
law that would prohibit or forgive the Company or the Guarantor from paying all
or any portion of the principal of, or interest on the Notes as contemplated
herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture. The Company and each


                                       77
<PAGE>

Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all
benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but
will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law
had been enacted.

                                    ARTICLE 7
                                   THE TRUSTEE

      SECTION 7.01. General. (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee
are as provided by the Trust Indenture Act and as set forth herein. Whether or
not expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is
subject to this Article.

      (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee need
perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and
no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Trustee shall exercise those rights and powers vested in it by
this Indenture, and 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.

      (c) 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.

      SECTION 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to Trust Indenture Act
Sections 315(a) through (d):

            (1) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may rely,
      and will be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any
      resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
      request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence
      of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine
      and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee
      need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but, in
      the case of any document which is specifically required to be furnished to
      the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof, the Trustee shall examine
      the document to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of this
      Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
      mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). The Trustee, in
      its discretion, may make further inquiry or investigation into such facts
      or matters as it sees fit.


                                       78
<PAGE>

            (2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require
      an Officers' Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel conforming to
      Section 12.05 and the Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes
      or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the certificate or opinion.

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

            (4) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the
      rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
      direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the
      Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or
      expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
      direction.

            (5) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits
      to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its
      rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance
      with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.05 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 provided, however, that the Trustee's
      conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

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

            (7) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to
      expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in
      the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights
      or powers, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any
      loss, liability or expense.

      SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual
or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may
otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would
have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.
However, the Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b) and 311.
For purposes of Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b)(4) and (6):

            (a) "cash transaction" means any transaction in which full payment
      for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after


                                       79
<PAGE>

      delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other
      orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; and

            (b) "self-liquidating paper" means any draft, bill of exchange,
      acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred for
      the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing,
      shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is
      secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon,
      the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising
      from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting
      the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee
      simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship arising from
      the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of
      exchange, acceptance or obligation.

      SECTION 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer. The Trustee (i) makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes,
(ii) is not accountable for the Company's use or application of the proceeds
from the Notes and (iii) is not responsible for any statement in the Notes other
than its certificate of authentication.

      SECTION 7.05. Notice of Default. If any Default occurs and is continuing
and is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee will send
notice of the Default to each Holder within 90 days after it occurs, unless the
Default has been cured; provided that, except in the case of a default in the
payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold
the notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, a
trust committee of directors or one or more Responsible Officers of the Trustee
in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the
Holders. Notice to Holders under this Section will be given in the manner and to
the extent provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c).

      SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May
15, beginning with May 15, 2003, the Trustee will mail to each Holder, as
provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such
May 15, if required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a), and file such reports
with each stock exchange upon which its Notes are listed and with the Commission
as required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d).

      SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. (a) The Company will pay the
Trustee compensation as agreed upon in writing for its services. The
compensation of the Trustee is not limited by any law on compensation of a
Trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee upon request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee's
agents and counsel.


                                       80
<PAGE>

      (b) The Company will indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless
against, any loss or liability or expense incurred by it without negligence or
bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this Indenture and its duties under this Indenture and the
Notes, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its
officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties under this Indenture and the Notes. The Trustee shall notify the Company
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend
the claim and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation in the defense.
The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and
expenses of such counsel, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay
such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee's defense and, in the
reasonable judgment of outside counsel to the Trustee, there is no conflict of
interest between the Company and the Trustee in connection with such defense.
The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss,
liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

      (c) To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the
Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or
collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property
held in trust to pay principal of, and interest on, particular Notes. Any
compensation or expense incurred by the Trustee after a default is intended to
constitute an expense of administration under any then applicable bankruptcy or
insolvency law, to the extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section
7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee.

      SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. (a) (1) The Trustee may resign at
any time by written notice to the Company.

            (2) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
      Notes may remove the Trustee by written notice to the Trustee.

            (3) If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10 or in
      the circumstances described in Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b), any
      Holder that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section
      310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
      the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

            (4) The Company may remove the Trustee if: (i) the Trustee is no
      longer eligible under Section 7.10; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a
      bankrupt or an insolvent; (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes


                                       81
<PAGE>

      charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes
      incapable of acting.

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
will become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

      (b) If the Trustee has been removed by the Holders, Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee with the
consent of the Company. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a
vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will
promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If the successor Trustee does not deliver
its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is
removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

      (c) Upon delivery by the successor Trustee of a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company, (i) the retiring Trustee
will transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee,
subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07, (ii) the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and (iii) the successor
Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture. Upon request of any successor Trustee, the Company will execute any
and all instruments for fully and vesting in and confirming to the successor
Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. The successor Trustee will give
notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each appointment of
a successor Trustee to all Holders, and include in the notice the name of the
successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

      (d) Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section,
the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 will continue for the benefit of
the retiring Trustee.

      (e) The Trustee agrees to give the notices provided for in, and otherwise
comply with, Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b).

      SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates
with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its
corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national
banking association without any further act will be the successor Trustee with
the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee in
this Indenture.

      SECTION 7.10. Eligibility. This Indenture must always have a Trustee that
satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and has a


                                       82
<PAGE>

combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most
recent published annual report of condition.

      SECTION 7.11. Money Held in Trust. The Trustee will not be liable for
interest on any money received by it except as it may agree with the Company.
Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law and except for money held in trust under
Article 8.

                                    ARTICLE 8
                            DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE

      SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Company's Obligations. (a) Subject to paragraph
(b), this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes and Note
Guarantees issued hereunder, and the Trustee shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:

            (1) either:

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

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

            (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on
      the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and
      such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
      default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor
      is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

            (3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all
      sums payable by it under this Indenture;


                                       83
<PAGE>

            (4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the
      Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at
      maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be; and

            (5) The Company has delivered an Officers' Certificate and an
      Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to
      satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

      (b) After satisfying the conditions in Section 8.01(a)(1)(A), only the
Company's obligations under Section 7.07 will survive. After satisfying the
conditions in Section 8.01(a)(1)(B), only the Company's obligations in Article 2
and Sections 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08, 8.05 and 8.06 will survive. In either case,
the Trustee upon request will acknowledge in writing the discharge of the
Company's and the Guarantors' obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees
and this Indenture other than the surviving obligations specified in this
Section 8.01(b).

      SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance. After the 91st day following the deposit
referred to in clause (1) below, the Company will be deemed to have paid and
will be discharged from its obligations in respect of the Notes and this
Indenture, other than its obligations in Article 2 and Sections 4.01, 4.02,
7.07, 7.08, 8.05 and 8.06, and each Guarantor's obligations under its Note
Guarantee will terminate, provided the following conditions have been satisfied
(hereinafter "Legal Defeasance"):

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

            (2) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
      reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that

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

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

            in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of
      Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not
      recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result
      of


                                       84
<PAGE>
      such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the
      same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
      the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

            (3) no Default has occurred and is continuing either (a) on the date
      of such deposit or (b) insofar as Bankruptcy Defaults are concerned, at
      any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of the
      deposit;

            (4) the Legal Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation
      of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument to
      which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the
      Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

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

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

            (7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
      and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
      relating to the Legal Defeasance have been complied with.

      SECTION 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. After the 91st day following the
deposit referred to in clause (1) of Section 8.02, the Company's and the
Guarantors' obligations set forth in Sections 4.06 through 4.16, inclusive,
5.01(a)(D) and 5.02(a)(D), will terminate, and clauses (3), (4), (5), (6), (7)
and (8) of Section 6.01 will no longer constitute Events of Default, provided
the following conditions have been satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant
Defeasance"):

            (1) The Company has complied with clauses (1), (3), (5) and (6) of
      Section 8.02;

            (2) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
      reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the
      outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for


                                       85
<PAGE>

      federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance and will be
      subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
      at the same times as would otherwise have been the case.

            (3) the Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation
      of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument to
      which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the
      Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; and

            (4) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
      and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
      relating to the Legal Defeasance have been complied with.

      Except as specifically stated above, none of the Company's obligations
under this Indenture will be discharged.

      SECTION 8.04. Application of Trust Money. Subject to Section 8.05, the
Trustee will hold in trust the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited
with it pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, and apply the deposited cash and
the proceeds from deposited U.S. Government Obligations to the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the Notes and this
Indenture, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine. Such money and U.S.
Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

      SECTION 8.05. Repayment to Company. Subject to Sections 7.07, 8.01, 8.02
and 8.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent will promptly pay to the Company upon
request at any time and from time to time any cash or U.S. Government
Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent as provided in Section 8.04
which are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be
deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, and
the Trustee or Paying Agent will thereupon be relieved from all liability with
respect to such money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay to the Company
upon request any cash and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds
thereof) held for payment with respect to the Notes that remains unclaimed for
two years, provided that before making such payment the Trustee and the Paying
Agent may at the expense of the Company publish once in a newspaper of general
circulation in New York City, or send to each Holder entitled to such cash and
U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof), notice that the
money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified in the notice (at least
30 days after the date of the publication or notice) any remaining unclaimed
balance of cash and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof)
will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to
payment with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees must look solely to the
Company for payment, unless applicable law


                                       86
<PAGE>

designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent
with respect to such money will cease.

      SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. If and for so long as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is unable to apply any cash or U.S. Government Obligations held in trust
pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03 by reason of any legal proceeding or by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company's
and the Guarantors' obligations under this Indenture and the Notes will be
reinstated as though no deposit in trust had been made pursuant to Section 8.01,
8.02 or 8.03, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to
apply such cash and U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Sections
8.01, 8.02 and 8.03, as the case may be. If the Company makes any payment of
principal of or interest on any Notes following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such
Notes to receive such payment from the cash or U.S. Government Obligations held
in trust.

                       AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

      SECTION 9.01. Amendments Without Consent of Holders.

      (a) The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture,
the Notes, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement without notice
to or the consent of any Noteholder to

            (1) cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this Indenture,
      the Notes, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement,
      including conforming this Indenture to the description of the Notes in the
      offering memorandum relating to the Notes;

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

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

            (4) evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment of a
      successor Trustee;

            (5) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with
      this Indenture;


                                       87
<PAGE>

            (6) provide for the issuance of a Note Guarantee with respect to the
      Notes;

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

            (8) comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or
      maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture
      Act.

      (b) (A) The Trustee shall (and is hereby authorized to) amend or
supplement the Intercreditor Agreement or any of the Security Documents or enter
into one or more additional or replacement security documents or intercreditor
agreements, or amend or supplement one or more additional or replacement
security documents or intercreditor agreements (collectively, the "Intercreditor
Documentation") upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate stating that such
amendments, supplements, replacements or additional Intercreditor Documentation
is necessary to give effect to the granting of a Permitted Lien:

            (i) ranking senior to the Liens securing the Notes or any Note
      Guarantee ("Note Lien") to the extent contemplated by the Intercreditor
      Agreement or any Intercreditor Documentation reflecting identical terms,
      provided such senior Liens are permitted either by paragraph (1) or by
      paragraph (12) of the definition of "Permitted Liens" (and the terms of
      Section 3.7 of the Intercreditor Agreement, or comparable terms in any
      Intercreditor Documentation, shall be given effect in connection
      therewith) ("Priority Liens");

            (ii) ranking equally and ratably with the Liens securing the Notes,
      provided such equal and ratable Liens are permitted by any of paragraph
      (1) or paragraph (9) or paragraph (12) of the definition of "Permitted
      Liens" (and such other contractual adjustments as shall be necessary to
      establish such equal and ratable status shall be effected) ("Parity
      Liens"); or

            (iii) ranking junior to the Liens Securing the Notes, provided such
      junior Liens are permitted by any of paragraph (1) or paragraph (9) or
      paragraph (12) of the definition of "Permitted Liens" ("Subordinated
      Liens");

provided that the Trustee shall not be required to execute any such document on
terms which, in the Trustee's reasonable opinion, would expose the Trustee to or
create any liability for which the Trustee is not, in its sole discretion,
adequately compensated or indemnified; provided further that no such amendment,
supplement or additional agreement shall adversely affect the rights of the
holders


                                       88
<PAGE>

of the Notes in any other respect with respect to the Collateral. Prior to the
execution and delivery by the Trustee of any such amendment, supplement or
additional agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Officers'
Certificate from the Company, in a form reasonably satisfactory to it, which
shall designate whether the Permitted Lien shall be a Priority Lien, a Parity
Lien or a Subordinated Lien and shall include (where appropriate) calculations
establishing that such Permitted Lien is permitted by the terms of this
Indenture and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendments, supplements or
additional agreements are authorized or permitted by this Indenture and comply
with this Section 9.01(b). The Trustee shall be fully protected in relying on
any such Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, subject to Sections 7.01
and 7.02 of this Indenture.

      For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee and each Noteholder by accepting a
Note agrees that (i) the Note Liens and the Parity Liens on any Collateral
(other than Primary Collateral) are, as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement
or any Intercreditor Documentation, subordinate in ranking to all present and
future Priority Liens, (ii) the Note Liens upon any and all Collateral shall be
of equal ranking with all Parity Liens, (iii) the Note Liens will be senior in
ranking to all Subordinated Liens and (iv) any Person holding a Parity Lien (or
a collateral agent on its behalf) shall be granted a perfected security interest
in all Collateral pursuant to security documents on terms comparable to those
granted to the Trustee and any such person shall have the independent right to
take action with respect to Collateral pursuant to Intercreditor Documentation
on terms comparable to those granted to the Trustee under the Intercreditor
Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

      (B) Notwithstanding (i) anything to the contrary contained in the
Intercreditor Documentation or any document or agreement evidencing or
controlling the terms of the Indebtedness in respect of Liens, (ii) the time,
order or method of attachment of the Note Liens, the Priority Liens, the Parity
Liens or the Subordinated Liens, (iii) the time or order of filing or recording
of financing statements or other documents filed or recorded to perfect any Lien
upon any Collateral, (iv) the time of taking possession or control over any
Collateral, (v) the rules for determining priority under the Uniform Commercial
Code or any other law governing relative priorities of secured creditors, (vi)
that any Priority Lien may not have been perfected or (vii) any other
circumstance of any kind or nature whatsoever, consistent with the foregoing:

      (1) The Note Liens and the Parity Liens will in all circumstances be
subordinate in ranking to all Priority Liens, whenever granted upon any present
or future Collateral (other than Primary Collateral);


                                       89
<PAGE>

      (2) The Note Liens will in all circumstances be of equal ranking with all
Parity Liens, whenever granted with respect to any Indebtedness secured by
Parity Liens;

      (3) The Note Liens will in all circumstances be senior to all Indebtedness
Secured by Subordinated Liens, whenever granted on any present or future
Collateral.

      The provisions set forth in this Section 9.01(b)(B) are intended to be
effective among the holders of Note Liens, Priority Liens, Parity Liens and
Subordinated Liens notwithstanding the Trustee's failure or refusal to execute
any amendment, supplement, replacement or additional Intercreditor Documentation
otherwise complying with Section 9.01(b)(A), and the holders of such Liens shall
be entitled to rely upon the terms set forth in this Section 9.01(b)(B) as a
third party beneficiary.

      (C) Each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, agrees that (i) no consent of
the Holders of the Notes is required in connection with effectuating any of the
foregoing, including, without limitation, in connection with the Trustee's
actions related to the execution, delivery and performance of any and all
amendments, supplements, replacements or additional Intercreditor Documentation
consistent with the terms set forth above, and to the terms of such amended,
supplemented, replacement or additional Intercreditor Documentation set forth in
this Section 9.01(b), and (ii) the Trustee shall have no liability in connection
with actions taken in furtherance of the foregoing, subject to Section 7.01(c)
of this Indenture.

      SECTION 9.02. Amendments With Consent of Holders. (a) Except as otherwise
provided in Sections 6.02, 6.04 and 6.07 or clause (b) of this Section 9.02, the
Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture, the Notes, the Security
Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement with the written consent of the Holders
of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase
of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing Default or
compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with
the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes).

      (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), without the consent
of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any
Notes held by a non-consenting Holder)

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


                                       90
<PAGE>

            (2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note
      or alter the provisions, or waive any payment, with respect to the
      redemption of the Notes (provided that this clause (2) does not apply to
      amendment or waiver of the provisions of Section 4.12 or Section 4.13,
      amendments and waivers with respect to which are subject to Section
      9.02(c), below);

            (3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on
      any Note;

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

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

            (6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to
      waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive
      payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if
      any, on the Notes;

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

            (8) except as otherwise permitted under Article 5, consent to the
      assignment or transfer by the Company or any Guarantor of any of their
      rights or obligations under this Indenture (it being understood that
      amendments or waivers of Section 5.01(a)(D) may be made with the consent
      of the Holders of at least a majority in outstanding principal amount of
      the Notes); or

            (9) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver
      provisions,

      (c) The Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may not amend or
supplement this Indenture to change or modify the obligation of the Company to
make and consummate an Asset Sale Offer with respect to any Asset Sale in
accordance with Section 4.13 or the obligation of the Company to make and
consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control in
accordance with Section 4.12, including, in each case changing or modifying any
definition relating thereto, or grant any waiver of the foregoing provisions,
without the consent of Holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding principal
amount of the Notes.


                                       91
<PAGE>

      (d) Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture or the Security
Documents, without the consent of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding
principal amount of the Notes, no amendment may release any Guarantor from its
obligations under its Note Guarantee, change any Note Guarantee in any manner
that adversely affects the rights of any Holder of Notes under such Note
Guarantee in any material respect or release all or substantially of the
Collateral from the Liens created by the Security Documents.

      (e) It is not necessary for Noteholders to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver; it is sufficient if their consent
approves the substance thereof.

      (f) An amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 will become
effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the
requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. After an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Company will send to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing
the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company will send supplemental
indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to send such
notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

      SECTION 9.03. Effect of Consent. (a) After an amendment, supplement or
waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder unless it is of the type
requiring the consent of each Holder affected. If the amendment, supplement or
waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected, the
amendment, supplement or waiver will bind each Holder that has consented to it
and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note
of the consenting Holder.

      (b) If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the
Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that the Trustee
may place an appropriate notation of the changed terms on the Note and return it
to the Holder, or exchange it for a new Note that reflects the changed terms.
The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter
authenticated. However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver
is not affected by any failure to annotate or exchange Notes in this fashion.

      SECTION 9.04. Trustee's Rights and Obligations. The Trustee is entitled to
receive, and will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized
pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. If the
Trustee has received such an Opinion of Counsel, it shall sign the amendment,
supplement or waiver so long as the same does not adversely affect the rights of
the Trustee. The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment,
supplement or


                                       92
<PAGE>

waiver that affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture.

      SECTION 9.05. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental
indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of
the Trust Indenture Act.

      SECTION 9.06. Payments for Consents. Playboy will not, and will not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to
be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as
an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or
provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered
to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree
to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to
such consent, waiver or agreement.

                              SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS

      SECTION 10.01. Security. (a) In order to secure the Obligations of the
Company under this Indenture, the Company will execute and deliver to the
Trustee on or prior to the Issue Date each Security Document to which it is or
is to be a party and create the Liens intended to be created thereunder, with
the priority set forth therein and in the Intercreditor Agreement, on the
Collateral. In order to secure the Obligations of each Guarantor under its Note
Guarantee and this Indenture, each Guarantor will execute and deliver to the
Trustee prior to the Issue Date each Security Document to which it is or is to
be a party and create the Liens intended to be created thereunder, with the
priority set forth therein and in the Intercreditor Agreement, on the
Collateral.

      (b) The Company and the Guarantors shall comply with all covenants and
agreements contained in the Security Documents.

      (c) Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to all of the terms and
provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, as the
same may be amended from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Security
Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

      (d) As among the Holders, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted
shall be held for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders without
preference, priority or distinction of any thereof over any other by reason of
differences in time of issuance, sale or otherwise, as security for the
Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

      SECTION 10.02. Release of Collateral upon Sale of Assets. (a) Upon the
sale, transfer or other disposition of any cash, accounts receivable, notes


                                       93
<PAGE>

receivable or inventory ("Working Capital Assets") in the ordinary course of
business by the Company or any Guarantor to any Person other than Playboy or any
Restricted Subsidiary, or upon the making of any cash payments by the Company or
any Guarantor in the ordinary course of business to any person other than
Playboy or any Restricted Subsidiary, the Lien of this Indenture and the
Security Documents on any such cash, accounts receivable or inventory shall be
automatically released; provided that the sale, transfer or other disposition or
payment does not violate this Indenture, the Security Documents or the
Intercreditor Agreement. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee on each June
15 and December 15 a certificate to the effect that all such dispositions of
Working Capital Assets during the immediately preceding six-month period were in
the ordinary course of business and that the disposition and the application of
the proceeds thereof were in compliance with the provisions of this Indenture.

      (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lien of this Indenture, the
Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement will not be released if any
sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral is made as part of a
transaction that is governed by Section 5.01 or Section 5.02.

      (c) [Intentionally omitted.]

      (d) Upon the request of the Company to the Trustee pursuant to an
Officers' Certificate certifying that all conditions precedent hereunder have
been met and without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Guarantors
will be entitled to the release of assets included in the Collateral from the
Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees under any one or more of the
following circumstances:

                  (i) to enable Playboy or any Restricted Subsidiary to
            consummate any sale, conveyance or other disposition of any assets
            or rights (other than Working Capital Assets disposed of pursuant to
            Section 10.02(a)) in compliance with Section 4.13 (or in a
            transaction not subject to Section 4.13) to any Person other than
            Playboy or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the Lien of this
            Indenture and the Security Documents will not be released pursuant
            to this Section 10.02(d)(i) if such sale, conveyance or other
            disposition is made as part of a transaction governed by Section
            5.01 or Section 5.02;

                  (ii) in respect of assets subject to a Permitted Lien pursuant
            to clause (8), and clause (13) only as it relates to clause (8), of
            the definition of Permitted Liens in Section 1.01;

                  (iii) pursuant to an amendment, waiver or supplement effected
            in accordance with Article 9; and


                                       94
<PAGE>

                  (iv) as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Security
            Documents.

Any Officers' Certificate requesting a release of Collateral under Section
10.02(d)(i) shall state that the proposed sale, conveyance or other disposition
is in compliance with Section 4.13(a) and Section 4.13(b) or is exempt
therefrom.

      (e) Any release of Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture, the Security Documents and the Trust Indenture Act will not be deemed
to impair the security under this Indenture, and any engineer or appraiser may
rely on this Section 10.02(e) in delivering a certificate requesting release so
long as all other provisions of this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act with
respect to such release have been complied with.

      (f) The Trustee shall, upon any release of Collateral in accordance with
this Section 10.02, execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper
instruments of termination, satisfaction or release as shall reasonably be
requested by the Company or any Guarantor to evidence the release of such
Collateral.

      (g) To the extent applicable and not otherwise provided herein or by an
exemption therefrom pursuant to relief from the Staff of the Commission, the
Company and each obligor on the Notes shall comply with Section 314(d) of the
Trust Indenture Act. Any certificate or opinion required by Section 314(d) of
the Trust Indenture Act may be made with respect to the Company by an Officer
and with respect to any Guarantor by an officer or managing member thereof,
except where Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act requires that such
certificate or opinion be made by an independent engineer, appraiser or other
expert, in which case such engineer, appraiser or other expert shall be selected
by the Company or such Guarantor. The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by
Sections 7.01 and 7.02 and by Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act,
conclusively rely on any such certificate or opinion

      SECTION 10.03. Release of Collateral upon Release of Guarantee. Subject to
compliance with the Trust Indenture Act, in the event that any Guarantor is
released from its Guarantee in accordance with Section 11.09, then the Liens of
this Indenture and the Security Documents by such Guarantor shall be
automatically released and the Trustee shall execute all such instruments as
shall be requested by the Company to release all the Collateral as to which a
security interest has been granted pursuant to the Security Documents by such
Guarantor.

      SECTION 10.04. Release upon Payment or Defeasance. In the event that (x)
(i) all of the Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Security
Documents have been paid, (ii) the Notes have been discharged pursuant to
Section 8.01, (iii) the Notes have been legally defeased pursuant to Section
8.02 or (iv) the covenants of the Notes have been defeased pursuant to Section
8.03,


                                       95
<PAGE>

and (y) the Company delivers an Officer's Certificate to that effect to the
Trustee, then the Liens of the Security Documents on the Collateral shall be
automatically released and the Trustee shall execute all such instruments as
shall be requested by the Company to release all the Collateral as to which a
security interest has been granted pursuant to this Indenture and the Security
Documents (other than any Collateral pledged as part of the trust required to
defease or discharge the Notes).

      SECTION 10.05. Suits with Respect to Collateral. Each Holder agrees that
it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or
otherwise, for any right or remedy against the Company, any Guarantor or any
other obligor under this Indenture, any Note or other Security Documents
(including, without limitation, the exercise of any right of set-off, rights on
account of any banker's lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or
institute any actions or proceedings or otherwise commence any remedial
procedures, with respect to any Collateral, without the prior written consent of
the Trustee if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or
the entry of judgment thereon would, under applicable law, result in the
surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of the Security Documents upon
any Collateral (and prior to taking any such action, a Holder shall be required
to deliver to the Trustee a written opinion of counsel to the effect that the
institution or prosecution of the action, or entry of judgment thereon, will not
result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of the Security
Documents upon any Collateral). In no event shall the Trustee commence any
foreclosure action with respect to the Playboy Mansion until the Administrative
Agent, any agent in connection with any other Credit Facility or the Trustee has
provided the Option Notice (as defined in the Credit Agreement as in effect on
the date hereof, or such other Credit Facility, provided that the definition
thereof is no less favorable to Noteholders than the definition in the Credit
Agreement as in effect on the date hereof) to the Company and any Principal or
Related Party entitled to exercise the option described in Section 4.14(b)(4) as
provided in Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement or in such other Credit
Facility, and such Principal or Related Party has had an opportunity to exercise
such option as provided by the terms of the Credit Agreement or such other
Credit Facility.

      SECTION 10.06. Limitation on Duty of Trustee with Respect to the
Collateral. The powers conferred on the Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Collateral are solely to protect its and the Holders' interest in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers, except as
specifically required by this Indenture and subject to Section 7.01 hereof. It
is expressly agreed that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for initiating
any action to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any
Collateral, except as expressly provided in this Indenture.

                                   GUARANTEES

      SECTION 11.01. The Guarantees. Subject to the provisions of this Article
11, each Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and
severally, on a senior secured basis, the full and punctual payment when due
(whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, purchase pursuant to a Change of
Control Offer or acceleration, or otherwise) of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on, and all other amounts payable under, each Note, and the
full and punctual payment when due of all other amounts payable by the Company
under this Indenture. Upon failure by the Company to pay punctually any such
amount when due, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so
paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Indenture.

      SECTION 11.02. Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, will not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by

            (1) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or
      release in respect of any obligation of the Company under this Indenture
      or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise;

            (2) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Indenture
      or any Note;

            (3) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of
      the Company, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other
      similar proceeding affecting the Company or its assets or any resulting
      release or discharge of any obligation of the Company contained in this
      Indenture or any Note;

            (4) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the
      Guarantor may have at any time against the Company, the Trustee or any
      other Person, whether in connection with this Indenture or any unrelated
      transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any
      such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

            (5) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the
      Company for any reason of this Indenture or any Note, or any provision of
      applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the
      Company of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount
      payable by the Company under this Indenture; or

            (6) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the
      Company, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance


                                       97

      whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph,
      constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such
      Guarantor's obligations hereunder.

            Each Subsidiary Guarantor, by its execution hereof, acknowledges and
      agrees that it receives substantial benefits from the Company and that
      such Subsidiary Guarantor is providing its Note Guarantee for good and
      valuable consideration, including, without limitation, such substantial
      benefits and services.

      SECTION 11.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. Each Guarantor's obligations
hereunder will remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company
under this Indenture have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount
payable by the Company under this Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise
restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Company or otherwise, each Guarantor's obligations hereunder with respect to
such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made
at such time.

      SECTION 11.04. Waiver by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives
acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for
herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any
Person against the Company or any other Person.

      SECTION 11.05. Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment with
respect to any obligation of the Company under this Article 11, the Guarantor
making such payment will be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the
Company with respect to such obligation, provided that the Guarantor may not
enforce either any right of subrogation or any right to receive payment in the
nature of contribution or otherwise from any other Guarantor with respect to
such payment so long as any amount payable by the Company hereunder or under the
Notes remains unpaid.

      SECTION 11.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for
payment of any amount payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes
is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all
such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Indenture
are nonetheless payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the
Trustee or the Holders.

      SECTION 11.07. Limitation on Amount of Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Article 11, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of
Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties
that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance


                                       98
<PAGE>

under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that
intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee are limited to
the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor's obligations subject to
avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.

      SECTION 11.08. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. The execution by each
Guarantor of this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit
B) evidences the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, whether or not the person
signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of
authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after
authentication constitutes due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this
Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor.

      SECTION 11.09. Release of Guarantee. The Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary
Guarantor will be released

            (a) in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a
      Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after
      giving effect to such transaction) Playboy or a Subsidiary of Playboy, if
      the sale of all such Capital Stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor complies
      with Section 4.13;

            (b) if Playboy properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is
      a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; or

            (c) if such Subsidiary Guarantor disposes of all of its assets in
      compliance with Section 4.13 and then liquidates or dissolves.

      Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel to the foregoing effect, the Trustee will execute any
documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of the Guarantor
from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

      SECTION 11.10. State Law Provisions. Without limiting the generality,
scope or meaning of any of the foregoing or any other provision of this
Indenture, each Guarantor:

            (a) acknowledges that Section 2856 of the California Civil Code
      authorizes and validates waivers of a guarantor's rights of subrogation
      and reimbursement and certain other rights and defenses available to such
      Guarantor under California law;


                                       99
<PAGE>

            (b) waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
      indemnification, and contribution and all other rights and defenses that
      are or may become available by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive,
      of the California Civil Code;

            (c) waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of
      remedies by the Trustee, even though that election of remedies, such as a
      nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed
      obligation, has destroyed such Guarantor's rights of subrogation and
      reimbursement against the Company by the operation of Section 580d of the
      California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise;

            (d) waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have
      because the Company's debt is secured by real property, which means, among
      other things, that:

                  (i) the Trustee may collect from such Guarantor without first
            foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by
            the Company; and

                  (ii) if the Trustee forecloses on any real property collateral
            pledged by the Company:

                        (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the
                  price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure
                  sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale
                  price; and

                        (B) the Trustee may collect from such Guarantor even if
                  the Trustee, by foreclosing on the real property collateral,
                  has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect
                  from the Company;

            (e) waives the protections of Nevada's one action rule or NRS
      40.430;

            (f) waives all rights and defenses, if any, now or hereafter arising
      under the laws of the State of Illinois, which are the same as or similar
      to the rights and defenses waived as described above.

      These waivers and acknowledgments constitute an unconditional and
irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Guarantor may have because the
Company's debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include,
but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580b,
580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      SECTION 12.01. Trust Indenture Act of 1939. This Indenture shall
incorporate and be governed by the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that
are required to be part of and to govern indentures qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act.

      SECTION 12.02. Noteholder Communications; Noteholder Actions. (a) The
rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to this
Indenture or the Notes are as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and the
Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee shall comply with the requirements of
Trust Indenture Act Sections 312(a) and 312(b). Neither the Company nor any
Guarantor nor the Trustee will be held accountable by reason of any disclosure
of information as to names and addresses of Holders made pursuant to the Trust
Indenture Act.

      (b) (1) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent to
amendment, supplement or waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be
given or taken by a Holder (an "act") may be evidenced by an instrument signed
by the Holder delivered to the Trustee. The fact and date of the execution of
the instrument, or the authority of the person executing it, may be proved in
any manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

            (2) The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a
      meeting of Holders, which will be binding on all the Holders.

      (c) Any act by the Holder of any Note binds that Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the
acting Holder, even if no notation thereof appears on the Note. Subject to
paragraph (d) of this Section 12.02, a Holder may revoke an act as to its Notes,
but only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the
amendment or waiver or other consequence of the act becomes effective.

      (d) The Company may, but is not obligated to, fix a record date (which
need not be within the time limits otherwise prescribed by Trust Indenture Act
Section 316(c)) for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to act with
respect to any amendment or waiver or in any other regard, except that during
the continuance of an Event of Default, only the Trustee may set a record date
as to notices of default, any declaration or acceleration or any other remedies
or other consequences of the Event of Default. If a record date is fixed, those
Persons that were Holders at such record date and only those Persons will be
entitled to act, or to revoke any previous act, whether or not those Persons
continue to be Holders after the record date. No act will be valid or effective
for more than 90 days after the record date.


                                      101

      SECTION 12.03. Notices. (a) Any notice or communication to the Company
will be deemed given if in writing (i) when delivered in person or (ii) five
days after mailing when mailed by first class mail, or (iii) when sent by
facsimile transmission, with transmission confirmed. Notices or communications

Trustee will be effective only upon receipt. In each case the notice or
communication should be addressed as follows:

      if to the Company or any Guarantor:

            PEI Holdings, Inc.
            680 N. Lake Shore Drive

            Attention: General Counsel

      if to the Trustee:

The Company or the Trustee by notice to the other may designate additional or
different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

      (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided with respect to published
notices, any notice or communication to a Holder will be deemed given when
mailed to the Holder at its address as it appears on the Register by first class
mail or, as to any Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, as
agreed by the Company, the Trustee and DTC. Copies of any notice or
communication to a Holder, if given by the Company, will be mailed to the
Trustee at the same time. Defect in mailing a notice or communication to any
particular Holder will not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.

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

      SECTION 12.04. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon
any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take any action
under this Indenture, the Company will furnish to the Trustee:

      certificate or opinion are based;

            (3) a statement that, in the opinion of each such person, that
      person has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to
      enable the person to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such
      covenant or condition has been complied with; and

            (4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each such
      person, such condition or covenant has been complied with,

provided that an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officers' Certificate or
certificates of public officials with respect to matters of fact.

      SECTION 12.06. Payment Date Other Than a Business Day. If any payment with
respect to a payment of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any
Note (including any payment to be made on any date fixed for redemption or
purchase of any Note) is due on a day which is not a Business Day, then the
payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next Business Day
with the same force and effect as if made on such date, and no interest will
accrue for the intervening period.

      SECTION 12.07. Governing Law. This Indenture, including any Note
Guarantees, and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made
and to be performed in such state.

      SECTION 12.09. Successors . All agreements of the Company or any Guarantor
in this Indenture and the Notes will bind its successors. All agreements of the
Trustee in this Indenture will bind the Trustee's successor.

      SECTION 12.10. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of
copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them
together represent the same agreement.

      SECTION 12.11. Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in
the Notes is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

      SECTION 12.12. Table of Contents and Headings. The Table of Contents,
Cross-Reference Table and headings of the Articles and Sections of this
Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be
considered a part of this Indenture and in no way modify or restrict any of the

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

insolvency default with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the
Notes automatically become due and payable. Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may

Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of
remedies.

            11% Senior Secured Notes due 2010 (the "Notes")
            Issued under the Indenture (the "Indenture") dated
            as of March 11, 2003 relating to the Notes

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      Terms are used in this Certificate as used in Regulation S ("Regulation
S") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), except
as otherwise stated herein.

      [CHECK A OR B AS APPLICABLE.]

      |_| A. This Certificate relates to our proposed transfer of $____
             principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture. We hereby
             certify as follows:

                  1.    The offer and sale of the Notes was not and will not be
                        made to a person in the United States (unless such
                        person is excluded from the definition of "U.S. person"
                        pursuant to Rule 902(k)(2)(vi) or the account held by it
                        for which it is acting is excluded from the definition
                        of "U.S. person" pursuant to Rule 902(k)(2)(i) under the
                        circumstances described in Rule 902(h)(3)) and such
                        offer and sale was not and will not be specifically
                        targeted at an identifiable group of U.S. citizens
                        abroad.

                  2.    Unless the circumstances described in the parenthetical
                        in paragraph 1 above are applicable, either (a) at the
                        time the buy order was originated, the buyer was outside
                        the United States or we and any person acting on our
                        behalf reasonably believed that the buyer was outside
                        the United States or (b) the transaction was executed
                        in, on or through the facilities


                                      E-1
<PAGE>

                        of a designated offshore securities market, and neither
                        we nor any person acting on our behalf knows that the
                        transaction was pre-arranged with a buyer in the United
                        States.

                  3.    Neither we, any of our affiliates, nor any person acting
                        on our or their behalf has made any directed selling
                        efforts in the United States with respect to the Notes.

                  4.    The proposed transfer of Notes is not part of a plan or
                        scheme to evade the registration requirements of the
                        Securities Act.

                  5.    If we are a dealer or a person receiving a selling
                        concession, fee or other remuneration in respect of the
                        Notes, and the proposed transfer takes place during the
                        Restricted Period (as defined in the Indenture), or we
                        are an officer or director of the Company or an Initial
                        Purchaser (as defined in the Indenture), we certify that
                        the proposed transfer is being made in accordance with
                        the provisions of Rule 904(b) of Regulation S.

      |_| B. This Certificate relates to our proposed exchange of $____
             principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture for an equal
             principal amount of Notes to be held by us. We hereby certify as
             follows:

                  1.    At the time the offer and sale of the Notes was made to
                        us, either (i) we were not in the United States or (ii)
                        we were excluded from the definition of "U.S. person"
                        pursuant to Rule 902(k)(2)(vi) or the account held by us
                        for which we were acting was excluded from the
                        definition of "U.S. person" pursuant to Rule
                        902(k)(2)(i) under the circumstances described in Rule
                        902(h)(3); and we were not a member of an identifiable
                        group of U.S. citizens abroad.

                  2.    Unless the circumstances described in paragraph 1(ii)
                        above are applicable, either (a) at the time our buy
                        order was originated, we were outside the United States
                        or (b) the transaction was executed in, on or through
                        the facilities of a designated offshore securities
                        market and we did not pre-arrange the transaction in the
                        United States.

                  3.    The proposed exchange of Notes is not part of a plan or
                        scheme to evade the registration requirements of the
                        Securities Act.
