MERCURY FINANCE COMPANY
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (herein called the "Securities") issued and to be issued in one or
more series under an Indenture, dated as of __________, 1998 (herein called
the "Indenture"), between the Company and Norwest Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of
the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $___________.
To the extent set forth in the Indenture, each Security issued thereunder,
including this Security, is and will be subordinated in right of payment to all
existing and future Senior Debt of the Company. This Security will rank PARI
PASSU with any existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness of the
Company and will rank senior to all other subordinated indebtedness of the
Company.
No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. Provided that no Senior
Indebtedness of the Company is Outstanding, the Securities are subject to
redemption at the option of the Company, at any such time and from time to time,
in whole or in part, in increments of not less than $5.0 million, upon not more
than 60 nor less than 30 days' notice to the Holders prior to the Redemption
Date, at the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon
to the date of redemption.
If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular
Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed will be selected by such method as
the Trustee may deem fair and appropriate. In the event of the redemption of
this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of
like tenor for the portion hereof not so redeemed shall be issued in the name of
the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at
the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount
of the Securities
-4-
of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain
provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder unless (a) such Holder shall have previously given
the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event
of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, (c) the
Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request and (d) the Trustee shall have failed to
institute such proceeding for 60 calendar days after receipt of such notice,
request, and offer of indemnity.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium or interest
on this Security at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency,
herein prescribed.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. As provided
in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or
agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this
Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
-5-
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security shall be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall
have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. This
Security and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws

delivered is hereby (i) incorporated by reference in this First Supplemental
Indenture and (ii) ratified, approved and confirmed.
