          3.1.    Form and Dating.

          (a)     General.

          The Warrants and the Warrant Agent's certificate of authentication
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the "Warrant
Certificates"). The Warrants may have notations, legends or endorsements
required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Warrant shall be dated the
date of its authentication. The Warrant Certificates shall be in a machine
printable format and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent.

          The terms and provisions contained in the Warrants shall constitute,
and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Warrant Agreement. Holdings and
the Warrant Agent, by their execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement,
expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However,
to the extent any provision of any Warrant conflicts with the express provisions
of this Warrant Agreement, the provisions of this Warrant Agreement shall govern
and be controlling.

          (b)     Global Warrants.

          Warrants issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Warrant Legend thereon and the
"Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Warrant" attached thereto).
Warrants issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit
A attached hereto (but without the Global Warrant Legend thereon and without the
"Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Warrant" attached thereto).
Each Global Warrant shall represent such of the outstanding Warrants as shall be
specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the number of
outstanding Warrants from time to time endorsed thereon and that the number of
outstanding Warrants represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or
increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement
of a Global Warrant to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the
number of outstanding Warrants represented thereby shall be made by the Warrant
Agent or the Warrant Custodian, at the direction of the Warrant Agent, in
accordance with instructions given by the holder thereof as required by Section
3.6 hereof.

          3.2.    Execution and Authentication. Two Officers shall sign the
Warrants for Holdings by manual or facsimile signature.

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

                                        4

<PAGE>

          A Warrant shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Warrant Agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that
the Warrant has been authenticated under this Warrant Agreement.

          The Warrant Agent shall, upon a written order of Holdings signed by
two Officers (a "Warrant Authentication Order"), authenticate Warrants for
original issue up to the number stated in the preamble hereto.

          The Warrant Agent may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to
Holdings to authenticate Warrants. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Warrants whenever the Warrant Agent may do so. Each reference in this Warrant
Agreement to authentication by the Warrant Agent includes authentication by such
agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Warrant Agent to deal
with Holdings or an Affiliate of Holdings.

          3.3.    Warrant Registrar and Warrant Paying Agent. Holdings shall
maintain an office or agency where Warrants may be presented for registration of
transfer or for exchange ("Warrant Registrar") and an office or agency where
Warrants may be presented for exercise ("Warrant Paying Agent"). The Warrant
Registrar shall keep a register of the Warrants and of their transfer and
exchange. Holdings may appoint one or more co-Warrant Registrars and one or more
additional Warrant Paying Agents. The term "Warrant Registrar" includes any
co-Warrant Registrar and the term "Warrant Paying Agent" includes any additional
Warrant Paying Agent. Holdings may change any Warrant Paying Agent or Warrant
Registrar without notice to any holder. Holdings shall notify the Warrant Agent
in writing of the name and address of any Warrant Paying Agent not a party to
this Warrant Agreement. If Holdings fails to appoint or maintain another entity
as Warrant Registrar or Warrant Paying Agent, the Warrant Agent shall act as
such. Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Warrant Paying Agent or
Warrant Registrar.

          Holdings initially appoints The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to
act as Depositary with respect to the Global Warrants.

          Holdings initially appoints the Warrant Agent to act as the Warrant
Registrar and Warrant Paying Agent and to act as Warrant Custodian with respect
to the Global Warrants.

          3.4.    Funds Held by Warrant Paying Agent. Holdings shall require
each Warrant Paying Agent other than the Warrant Agent to agree in writing that
the Warrant Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of holders or the
Warrant Agent all money held by the Warrant Paying Agent for the payment of
liquidated damages, if any, on the Warrants, and will notify the Warrant Agent
of any default by Holdings in making any such payment. While any such default
continues, the Warrant Agent may require a Warrant Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Warrant Agent. Holdings at any time may require a Warrant
Paying Agent to pay all money held by it, in its capacity as Warrant Paying
Agent, to the Warrant Agent. Upon payment over to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant
Paying Agent (if other than Holdings or a Subsidiary) shall have no further
liability for the money. If Holdings or a Subsidiary acts as Warrant Paying
Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of
the holders all money held by it as Warrant Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or
reorganization proceedings relating to Holdings, the Warrant Agent shall serve
as Warrant Paying Agent for the Warrants.

          3.5.    Holder Lists. The Warrant Agent shall preserve in as current a
form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the
names and addresses of all holders. If the Warrant Agent is not the Warrant
Registrar, Holdings shall furnish to the Warrant Agent at such times as the
Warrant Agent may reasonably request in writing, a list in such form and as of
such date as the Warrant Agent may reasonably require of the names and addresses
of the holders.

          3.6.    Transfer and Exchange.

          (a)     Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrants.

          A Global Warrant may not be transferred as a whole except by the
Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the
Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any
such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor
Depositary. All Global Warrants will be exchanged by Holdings for Definitive
Warrants if (i) Holdings delivers to the Warrant Agent notice from the
Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or
that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in
either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by Holdings within 120 days
after the date of such notice from the Depositary or (ii) Holdings in its sole
discretion determines that the Global Warrants (in whole but not in part) should
be exchanged for Definitive Warrants and delivers a written notice to such
effect to the Warrant Agent. Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding
events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Warrants shall be issued in such names
as the Depositary shall instruct the Warrant Agent. Global Warrants also may be
replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 3.7 hereof. Every Warrant
authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Warrant or
any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.6 or Section 3.7 or 3.10 hereof,
shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Warrant. A Global Warrant may not be exchanged for another Warrant other than as
provided in this Section 3.6(a). However, beneficial interests in a Global
Warrant may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 3.6(b) or (c)
hereof.

          (b)     Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global
Warrants.

          The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global
Warrants shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the
provisions of this Warrant Agreement and the Applicable Procedures. Transfers of
beneficial interests in the Global Warrants also shall require compliance with
either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable:

                  (i)    Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global
          Warrant. Beneficial interests in any Global Warrant may be transferred
          to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
          interest in a Global Warrant. No written orders or instructions shall
          be required to be delivered to the Warrant Registrar to effect the
          transfers described in this Section 3.6(b)(i).

                  (ii)   All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial
          Interests in Global Warrants. In connection with all transfers and
          exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section
          3.6(b)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must
          deliver to the Warrant Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a
          Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in
          accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to
          credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global
          Warrant in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be
          transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with
          the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the
          Participant account to be credited with such increase or (B) (1) a
          written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to
          the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing
          the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Warrant in an amount
          equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and
          (2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Warrant Registrar
          containing information regarding the Person in whose name such
          Definitive Warrant shall be registered to effect the transfer or
          exchange referred to in (B)(1) above. Upon satisfaction of all of the
          requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial

                                        6

<PAGE>

          interests in Global Warrants contained in this Warrant Agreement and
          the Warrants, or otherwise applicable provisions under the Securities
          Act, the Warrant Agent shall adjust the number of the relevant Global
          Warrant(s) pursuant to Section 3.6(g) hereof.

          (c)     Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global
Warrants for Definitive Warrants.

          If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant proposes to
exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Warrant or to transfer such
beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a
Definitive Warrant, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 3.6(b)(ii) hereof, the Warrant Agent shall order the amount of the
applicable Global Warrant to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 3.6(g)
hereof, and Holdings shall execute and, upon receipt of a Warrant Authentication
Order, the Warrant Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated
in the instructions a Definitive Warrant in the appropriate amount. Any
Definitive Warrant issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this
Section 3.6(c) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized
denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall
instruct the Warrant Registrar through instructions from the Depositary and the
Participant or Indirect Participant. The Warrant Agent shall deliver such
Definitive Warrants to the Persons in whose names such Warrants are so
registered.

          (d)     Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Warrants for Beneficial
Interests.

          A holder of a Definitive Warrant may exchange such Warrant for a
beneficial interest in a Global Warrant or transfer such Definitive Warrants to
a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a
Global Warrant at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or
transfer, the Warrant Agent shall cancel the applicable Definitive Warrant and
increase or cause to be increased the number of one of the Global Warrants.

          (e)     Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Warrants for Definitive
Warrants.

          Upon request by a holder of Definitive Warrants and such holder's
compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.6(e), the Warrant Registrar
shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Warrants. Prior to such
registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting holder shall present or
surrender to the Warrant Registrar the Definitive Warrants duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Warrant Registrar duly executed by such holder or by his attorney, duly
authorized in writing.

          (f)     Legends.

          The following legend shall appear on the face of all Global Warrants
issued under this Warrant Agreement unless specifically stated otherwise in the
applicable provisions of this Warrant Agreement.

                  THIS GLOBAL WARRANT IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN
     THE WARRANT AGREEMENT GOVERNING THIS WARRANT) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR
     THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY
     PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE WARRANT AGENT MAY MAKE
     SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.1(a) or
     3.6(g) OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT, (II) THIS GLOBAL WARRANT MAY BE EXCHANGED
     IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.6(a) OF THE WARRANT
     AGREEMENT, (III) THIS GLOBAL

                                        7

     WARRANT MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE WARRANT AGENT FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO
     SECTION 3.6(g) OR 3.11 OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL
     WARRANT MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN
     CONSENT OF HOLDINGS.

          (g)     Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Warrants.

          At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global
Warrant have been exchanged for Definitive Warrants or a particular Global
Warrant has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part,
each such Global Warrant shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the
Warrant Agent in accordance with Section 3.11 hereof. At any time prior to such
cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Warrant is exchanged for or
transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in another Global Warrant or for Definitive Warrants, the
amount of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant shall be reduced
accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Warrant by the
Warrant Agent or by the Depositary at the direction of the Warrant Agent to
reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or
transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in another Global Warrant, such other Global Warrant shall
be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Warrant
by the Warrant Agent or by the Depositary at the direction of the Warrant Agent
to reflect such increase.

          (h)     General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

                  (i)    To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges,
          Holdings shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall authenticate Global
          Warrants and Definitive Warrants upon Holdings' order or at the
          Warrant Registrar's request.

                  (ii)   No service charge shall be made to a holder of a
          beneficial interest in a Global Warrant or to a holder of a Definitive
          Warrant for any registration of transfer or exchange, but Holdings may
          require payment by a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global
          Warrant or a holder of a Definitive Warrant of a sum sufficient to
          cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in
          connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar
          governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to
          Section 3.10 hereof).

                  (iii)  All Global Warrants and Definitive Warrants issued upon
          any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Warrants or
          Definitive Warrants shall be the duly authorized, executed and issued
          warrants for Class A Common Stock of Holdings, not subject to any
          preemptive rights, and entitled to the same benefits under this
          Warrant Agreement, as the Global Warrants or Definitive Warrants
          surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

                  (iv)   Prior to due presentment for the registration of a
          transfer of any Warrant, the Warrant Agent, any Warrant Paying Agent
          and Holdings may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Warrant
          is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant for the purpose of
          receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Warrants and
          for all other purposes, and none of the Warrant Agent, any Warrant
          Paying Agent or Holdings shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  (v)    The Warrant Agent shall authenticate Global Warrants
          and Definitive Warrants in accordance with the provisions of Section
          3.2 hereof.

                                        8

<PAGE>

          (i)     All certifications, certificates and other documents required
to be submitted to the Warrant Registrar pursuant to this Section 3.6 to effect
a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

          3.7.    Replacement Warrants. If any mutilated Warrant is surrendered
to the Warrant Agent or Holdings and the Warrant Agent receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Warrant, Holdings shall
issue and the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of a Warrant Authentication Order,
shall authenticate a replacement Warrant if the Warrant Agent's requirements are
met. An indemnity bond must be supplied by the holder that is sufficient in the
judgment of the Warrant Agent and Holdings to protect Holdings, the Warrant
Agent, any Warrant Paying Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that
any of them may suffer if a Warrant is replaced. Holdings may charge for its
expenses in replacing a Warrant.

          Every replacement Warrant is an additional warrant of Holdings and
shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Warrant Agreement equally and
proportionately with all other Warrants duly issued hereunder.

          3.8.    Outstanding Warrants. The Warrants outstanding at any time are
all the Warrants authenticated by the Warrant Agent except for those canceled by
it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in
a Global Warrant effected by the Warrant Agent in accordance with the provisions
hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set
forth in Section 3.9 hereof, a Warrant does not cease to be outstanding because
Holdings or an Affiliate of Holdings holds the Warrant.

          If a Warrant is replaced pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof, it ceases to
be outstanding unless the Warrant Agent receives proof satisfactory to it that
the replaced Warrant is held by a bona fide purchaser.

          3.9.    Treasury Warrants. In determining whether the holders of the
required amount of Warrants have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent,
Warrants owned by Holdings, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling
or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with Holdings, shall
be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Warrant Agent shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Warrants that a responsible officer of the
Warrant Agent actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

          3.10.   Temporary Warrants. Until certificates representing Warrants
are ready for delivery, Holdings may prepare and the Warrant Agent, upon receipt
of a Warrant Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Warrants.
Temporary Warrants shall be substantially in the form of certificated Warrants
but may have variations that Holdings considers appropriate for temporary
Warrants and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Warrant Agent. Without
unreasonable delay, Holdings shall prepare and the Warrant Agent shall
authenticate definitive Warrants in exchange for temporary Warrants.

          Holders of temporary Warrants shall be entitled to all of the benefits
of this Warrant Agreement.

          3.11.   Cancellation. Holdings at any time may deliver Warrants to the
Warrant Agent for cancellation. The Warrant Registrar and Warrant Paying Agent
shall forward to the Warrant Agent any Warrants surrendered to them for
registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Warrant Agent and no one else
shall cancel all Warrants surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange,
payment,

                                        9

replacement or cancellation. Such canceled Warrants shall be disposed of by the
Warrant Agent in accordance with its customary procedures, with evidence of such
disposal provided promptly to Holdings. Holdings may not issue new Warrants to
replace Warrants that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Warrant
Agent for cancellation.

          SECTION 4.  TERMS OF WARRANTS; EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.

          4.1.    Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Warrant holder
shall have the right, which may be exercised during the period commencing at the
opening of business on January 28, 2003 and until 5:00 p.m., New York City time
on December 31, 2009 (the "Exercise Period"), to receive from Holdings the
number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the holder may at
the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants and payment of the
exercise price (the "Exercise Price") then in effect for such Warrant Shares.
Subject to adjustment as provided herein, the Exercise Price shall be $3.18 per
Warrant Share. Holdings shall give to the Depositary and to the Warrant Agent 15
days' prior written notice of the Expiration Date (as defined below) and of any
other information required by the Depositary at such time, all in accordance
with the procedures of the Depositary as then in effect. Each Warrant not
exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 31, 2009 (the
"Expiration Date") shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in
respect thereof under this agreement shall cease as of such time. No adjustments
as to dividends will be made upon exercise of the Warrants.

          4.2.    In order to exercise all or any of the Warrants represented by
a Warrant Certificate, (i) in the case of Definitive Warrants, the holder
thereof must surrender for exercise the Warrant Certificate to Holdings at the
office of the Warrant Agent at its New York corporate trust office set forth in
Section 17 hereof, (ii) in the case of a book-entry interest in a Global
Warrant, the exercising Participant whose name appears on a securities position
listing of the Depositary as the holder of such book-entry interest must comply
with the Depositary's procedures relating to the exercise of such book-entry
interest in such Global Warrant and (iii) in the case of both Global Warrants
and Definitive Warrants, the holder thereof or the Participant, as applicable,
must (a) deliver to Holdings at the office of the Warrant Agent the form of
election to purchase on the reverse thereof duly filled in and signed, which
signature shall be a medallion guaranteed by an institution which is a member of
a Securities Transfer Association recognized signature guarantee program, and
(b) make payment to the Warrant Agent for the account of Holdings of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such
Warrants are then exercised. If a registration statement relating to the Warrant
Shares is then in effect, and the making of offers and sales of the Warrant
Shares thereunder has not been suspended or terminated in accordance with
Section 16 hereof (the periods in which such conditions are met being referred
to herein as "Registered Periods"), payment of the aggregate Exercise Price
shall be made by a holder either (i) in cash, by wire transfer or by certified
or official bank check payable to the order of Holdings or (ii) through a
Cashless Exercise, in the manner provided in Section 4.3 hereof. At all times
other than during Registered Periods, payment of the aggregate Exercise Price
shall be made by a holder of Warrants only by Cashless Exercise. Holdings shall
promptly notify the Warrant Agent, who shall in turn promptly notify each
registered holder of a Warrant Certificate in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10 hereof of the existence, and any subsequent suspension or
termination, of a Registered Period. In the absence of a notice from Holdings
that a Registered Period is in existence, the Warrant Agent shall only accept
payment of the Exercise Price in the form of a Cashless Exercise.

          4.3.    Subject to compliance with this Section 4, a holder shall have
the right to exercise its Warrants without any payment in cash or by certified
or official bank check (a "Cashless Exercise"), in which event Holdings shall
issue to such holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the formula:

                                       10

<PAGE>

                                N x (M - E)
                      X =   ---------------------
                                    M
where:

          X       =      the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to such
                         holder.

          N       =      the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such
                         Warrants then are being exercised by such holder.

          M       =      the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 8.7
                         herein) per share of Class A Common Stock calculated as
                         of the date on which the notice of exercise is
                         delivered in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2
                         hereof.

          E       =      the Exercise Price then in effect.

          4.4.    Subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, upon compliance
with Section 4.2 hereof, Holdings shall deliver or cause to be delivered with
all reasonable dispatch, to or upon the written order of the holder and in such
name or names as the holder or Participant may designate, a certificate or
certificates for the number of whole Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise
of such Warrants or other securities or property to which such holder is
entitled hereunder, together with cash as provided in Section 9 hereof; provided
that if any consolidation, merger or lease or sale of assets is proposed to be
effected by Holdings as described in Section 8.13 hereof, or a tender offer or
an exchange offer for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be made, upon such
surrender of Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price as aforesaid, Holdings
shall, as soon as possible, but in any event not later than two business days
thereafter, deliver or cause to be delivered the full number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants in the manner described in this
sentence or other securities or property to which such holder is entitled
hereunder, together with cash as provided in Section 9 hereof. Such certificate
or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated
to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such
Warrant Shares as of the date of the surrender of such Warrants and payment of
the Exercise Price.

          4.5.    Subject to the provisions of this Sections 4 and 14 hereof,
the Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the holders thereof,
either in full or from time to time in part. If less than all the Warrants
represented by a Definitive Warrant are exercised, such Definitive Warrant shall
be surrendered and a new Definitive Warrant of the same tenor and for the number
of Warrants which were not exercised shall be executed by Holdings and delivered
to the Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent shall countersign the new Definitive
Warrant, registered in such name or names as may be directed in writing by the
holder, and shall deliver the new Definitive Warrant to the Person or Persons
entitled to receive the same. The Warrant Agent shall make such notations on
Schedule A to each Global Warrant as are required to reflect any change in the
number of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant resulting from any
exercise in accordance with the terms hereof.

          4.6.    All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants
shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent. Such canceled Warrant Certificates shall
then be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in accordance with its customary
procedures, with evidence of such disposal provided promptly to Holdings. The
Warrant Agent shall account promptly to Holdings with respect to Warrants
exercised and concurrently pay to Holdings all monies received by the Warrant
Agent for the purchase of the Warrant Shares through the exercise of such
Warrants.

                                       11

<PAGE>

          4.7.    The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement and any
notices given or received hereunder available for inspection by the holders
during normal business hours at its office. Holdings shall supply the Warrant
Agent from time to time with such numbers of copies of this Agreement as the
Warrant Agent may request.

          SECTION 5.  PAYMENT OF TAXES. Holdings will pay all documentary stamp
taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise
of Warrants; provided, however, that Holdings shall not be required to pay any
tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Warrant Shares in a
name other than that of the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate
surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and Holdings shall not be required
to issue or deliver such Warrant Certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares
unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have
paid to Holdings the amount of such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of Holdings that such tax has been paid.

          SECTION 6.  RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES.

          6.1.    Holdings will at all times reserve and keep available, free
from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued
Class A Common Stock or its authorized and issued Class A Common Stock held in
its treasury, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue
Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Class
A Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all
outstanding Warrants.

          6.2.    Holdings or, if appointed, the transfer agent for the Class A
Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent") and every subsequent transfer agent for any
shares of Holdings' capital stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the
rights of purchase aforesaid will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all
times to reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be required for such
purpose. Holdings will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Transfer
Agent and with every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of Holdings'
capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented
by the Warrants. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to
requisition from time to time from such Transfer Agent the stock certificates
required to honor outstanding Warrants upon exercise thereof in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. Holdings will supply such Transfer Agent with duly
executed certificates for such purposes and will provide or otherwise make
available any cash which may be payable as provided in Section 9. Holdings will
furnish such Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments and
certificates related thereto, transmitted to each holder pursuant to Section 10
hereof.

          6.3.    Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment
pursuant to Section 8 hereof to reduce the Exercise Price below the then par
value (if any) of the Warrant Shares, Holdings will take any corporate action
which may, in the opinion of its counsel (which may be counsel employed by
Holdings), be necessary in order that Holdings may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price as so
adjusted.

          6.4.    Holdings covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued
upon exercise of Warrants will, upon issue, be fully paid, nonassessable, free
of preemptive rights and free from all taxes (other than as contemplated by
Section 5 hereof), liens, charges and security interests with respect to the
issue thereof.

          SECTION 7.  OBTAINING STOCK EXCHANGE LISTINGS. Holdings will from time
to time take all action which may be necessary so that the Warrant Shares,
immediately upon their issuance upon the exercise of Warrants, will be listed on
the principal securities exchanges and markets within the United States of
America, if any, on which other shares of Class A Common Stock are then listed.

                                       12

<PAGE>

          SECTION 8.  ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES
ISSUABLE. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the
exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of the events enumerated in this Section 8. For purposes of this
Section 8 "Common Stock" means shares now or hereafter authorized of any class
of common stock of Holdings and any other stock of Holdings, however designated,
that has the right (subject to any prior rights of any class or series of
preferred stock) to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of
Holdings without limit as to per share amount.

          8.1.    Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. If Holdings (i) pays a
dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common
Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, (iv) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in
shares of its capital stock other than Common Stock or (v) issues by
reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of its capital stock, then the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be
proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised
may receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock of Holdings
which he would have owned immediately following such action if such Warrant had
been exercised immediately prior to such action.

          The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record
date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
If, after an adjustment, a holder of a Warrant upon exercise of it may receive
shares of two or more classes of capital stock of Holdings, Holdings shall
determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between the classes of
capital stock. After such allocation, the exercise privilege and the Exercise
Price of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment
on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 8. Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall
occur.

          8.2.    Adjustment for Rights Issue. If Holdings distributes any
rights, options or warrants to all holders of any class of its Common Stock
entitling them for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date
mentioned below to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less
than the Fair Market Value (as defined herein) per share on that record date,
the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

                      O + N x P
                          -----
          E' = E x          M
                  ----------------
                        O + N

where:

    E' =  the adjusted Exercise Price.

    E  =  the current Exercise Price.

    O  =  the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record
          date (including the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable
          upon exercise, conversion or exchange of securities outstanding and
          vested on the date hereof convertible or exchangeable for Class A
          Common Stock on the date hereof).

    N  =  the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered.

    P  =  the offering price per share of the additional shares.

                                       13

<PAGE>

    M  =  the Fair Market Value per share of Class A Common Stock on the record
          date.

          The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights,
options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the
rights, options or warrants. If at the end of the period during which such
rights, options or warrants are exercisable, not all rights, options or warrants
shall have been exercised, the Exercise Price shall be immediately readjusted to
what it would have been if "N" in the above formula had been the number of
shares actually issued.

          8.3.    Adjustment for Other Distributions. If Holdings distributes to
all holders of any class of its Common Stock any of its assets or debt
securities or any rights or warrants to purchase debt securities, assets or
other securities of Holdings, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance
with the formula:

          E' = E x M - F
                   -----
                     M

where:

    E' =  the adjusted Exercise Price.

    E  =  the current Exercise Price.

    M  =  the Fair Market Value per share of Class A Common Stock on the record
          date mentioned below.

    F  =  the fair market value on the record date of the assets, securities,
          rights or warrants to be distributed in respect of one share of Common
          Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
          Holdings (the "Board of Directors").

                  The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such
distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the distribution.

                  This Section 8.3 does not apply to cash dividends or cash
distributions paid out of consolidated current or retained earnings as shown on
the books of Holdings prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, this Section 8.3 does not apply to rights, options or warrants
referred to in Section 8.2 hereof.

          8.4.    Adjustment for Common Stock Issue. If Holdings issues shares
of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Fair Market Value
per share on the date Holdings fixes the offering price of such additional
shares, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

                         P
                         -
          E' = E x O  +  M
                   -------
                      A
where:

    E' =  the adjusted Exercise Price.

                                       14

<PAGE>

    E =   the then current Exercise Price.

    O =   the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately
          prior to the issuance of such additional shares (including the number
          of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion
          or exchange of securities outstanding and vested on the date hereof
          convertible or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock on the date
          hereof).

    P =   the aggregate consideration received for the issuance of such
          additional shares.

    M =   the Fair Market Value per share of Class A Common Stock on the date of
          issuance of such additional shares.

    A =   the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately
          after the issuance of such additional shares (including the number of
          shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or
          exchange of securities outstanding and vested on the date hereof
          convertible or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock on the date
          hereof).

          The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance
is made, and shall become effective immediately after such issuance.

          This Section 8.4 does not apply to:

                  (i)    any of the transactions described in Sections 8.2 and
          8.3 hereof,

                  (ii)   the exercise of warrants, or the conversion or exchange
          of other securities convertible or exchangeable, for Common Stock,

                  (iii)  Common Stock issued to Holdings' employees under bona
          fide employee benefit plans adopted by the Board of Directors and
          approved by the holders of Common Stock when required by law, if such
          Common Stock would otherwise be covered by this subsection (d) (but
          only to the extent that the aggregate number of shares excluded hereby
          and issued after the date of this Warrant Agreement shall not exceed
          15% of the Common Stock outstanding at the time of the adoption or
          amendment of each such plan, exclusive of antidilution adjustments
          thereunder),

                  (iv)   Common Stock issued upon the exercise of rights or
          warrants issued to the holders of Common Stock,

                  (v)    Common Stock issued to shareholders of any person which
          merges into Holdings in proportion to their stock holdings of such
          person immediately prior to such merger, upon such merger, or

                  (vi)   the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to
          rights, options or warrants which were originally issued in a
          Non-Affiliate Sale (as defined below) together with one or more other
          securities as part of a unit at a price per unit.

          8.5.    Adjustment for Convertible Securities Issue. If Holdings
issues any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other
than securities issued in transactions described in Sections 8.2 and 8.3 hereof)
for a consideration per share of Common Stock initially deliverable upon

                                       15

<PAGE>

conversion or exchange of such securities less than the Fair Market Value per
share on the date of issuance of such securities, the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted in accordance with this formula:

                        P
                        -
          E' = E x  O + M
                    -----
                    O + D

where:

    E' =  the adjusted Exercise Price.

    E  =  the then current Exercise Price.

    O  =  the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately
          prior to the issuance of such securities (including the number of
          shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or
          exchange of securities outstanding and vested on the date hereof
          convertible or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock on the date
          hereof).

    P  =  the aggregate consideration received for the issuance of such
          securities.

    M  =  the Fair Market Value per share of Class A Common Stock on the date of
          issuance of such securities.

    D  =  the maximum number of shares deliverable upon conversion or in
          exchange for such securities at the initial conversion or exchange
          rate.

          The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance
is made, and shall become effective immediately after such issuance.

          If all of the Common Stock deliverable upon conversion or exchange of
such securities have not been issued when such securities are no longer
outstanding, then the Exercise Price shall promptly be readjusted to the
Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustment upon the
issuance of such securities been made on the basis of the actual number of
shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exchange of such securities.

          This Section 8.5 does not apply to convertible securities issued to
shareholders of any Person which merges into Holdings, or with a subsidiary of
Holdings, in proportion to their stock holdings of such Person immediately prior
to such merger, upon such merger.

          8.6.    Consideration Received. For purposes of any computation
respecting consideration received pursuant to Sections 8.4 and 8.5 hereof the
following shall apply:

                  (i)    in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock
          for cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided
          that in no case shall any deduction be made for any commissions,
          discounts or other expenses incurred by Holdings for any underwriting
          of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith;

                  (ii)   in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock
          for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the
          consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market
          value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of

                                       16

<PAGE>

          Directors (irrespective of the accounting treatment thereof), whose
          determination shall be conclusive, and described in a Board resolution
          which shall be filed with the Warrant Agent; and

                  (iii)  in the case of the issuance of securities convertible
          into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, the aggregate
          consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the
          consideration received by Holdings for the issuance of such securities
          plus the additional consideration, if any, to be received by Holdings
          upon the conversion or exchange thereof (the consideration in each
          case to be determined in the same manner as provided in clauses (i)
          and (ii) of this Section 8.6).

          8.7.    Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Agreement, "Fair
Market Value" means: (A) the average over the 10 trading days ending on the date
immediately preceding the date of such determination of the last reported sale
price, or, if no such sale takes place on any such day, the closing bid price,
in either case as reported for consolidated transactions on the principal
national securities exchange (including the NASDAQ National Market) on which
such security is listed or admitted for trading; provided, however, that if any
event that results in an adjustment of the Exercise Price occurs during the
period beginning on the first day of such 10-day period and ending on the date
immediately preceding the date of determination, the Fair Market Value as
determined pursuant to the foregoing will be appropriately adjusted to reflect
the occurrence of such event or (B) if such security is not listed on any
exchange or admitted for trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market, the Fair Market
Value shall be (1) in connection with a sale to a party that is not an Affiliate
of Holdings in an arm's length transaction (a "Non-Affiliate Sale"), the price
per security at which such security is sold and (2) in connection with any sale
to an Affiliate of Holdings, (a) the last price per security at which such
security was sold in a Non-Affiliate Sale within the three-month period
preceding such date of determination or (b) if clause (a) is not applicable, the
fair market value of such security determined in good faith by (i) a majority of
the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Disinterested Directors, and
approved in a board resolution delivered to the Warrant Agent or (ii) a
nationally recognized investment banking, appraisal or valuation firm, which is
not an Affiliate of Holdings, in each case, taking into account, among other
factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors or such investment banking,
appraisal or valuation firm, the trading price and volume of such security on
any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such
security is traded.

          8.8.    When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred. No adjustment in
the Exercise Price need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase
or decrease of at least 1.0% in the Exercise Price. Any adjustments that are not
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest
cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

          8.9.    When No Adjustment Required. No adjustment need be made for a
transaction referred to Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 or 8.5 hereof, if holders
are to participate in the transaction on a basis and with notice that the Board
of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and
notice on which holders of Class A Common Stock participate in the transaction.
No adjustment need be made for (i) rights to purchase Class A Common Stock
pursuant to a Holdings plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest or (ii) a
change in the par value or no par value of the Class A Common Stock. To the
extent the Warrants become convertible into cash, no adjustment need be made
thereafter as to the cash. Interest will not accrue on the cash.

          8.10.   Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted,
Holdings shall provide the notices required by Section 10 hereof.

                                       17

<PAGE>

          8.11.   Voluntary Reduction. Holdings from time to time may reduce the
Exercise Price by any amount for any period of time, if the period is at least
20 days and if the reduction is irrevocable during the period; provided that in
no event may the Exercise Price be less than the par value of a share of Class A
Common Stock. Whenever the Exercise Price is reduced, Holdings shall mail to
holders a notice of the reduction. Holdings shall mail the notice at least 15
days before the date the reduced Exercise Price takes effect. The notice shall
state the reduced Exercise Price and the period for which it will be in effect.
A reduction of the Exercise Price does not change or adjust the Exercise Price
otherwise in effect for purposes of Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 hereof.

          8.12.   Notice of Certain Transactions. If (i) Holdings takes any
action that would require an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to
Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 hereof and if Holdings does not arrange for
Warrant holders to participate pursuant to Section 8.9 hereof, (ii) Holdings
takes any action that would require a supplemental Warrant Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.13 hereof or (iii) there is a liquidation or dissolution of Holdings,
then Holdings shall mail to Warrant holders a notice stating the proposed record
date for a dividend or distribution or the proposed effective date of a
subdivision, combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer,
lease, liquidation or dissolution. Holdings shall mail the notice at least 15
days before such date. Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall not
affect the validity of the transaction.

          8.13.   Reorganization of Holdings. If Holdings consolidates or merges
with or into, or transfers or leases all or substantially all its assets to, any
person, upon consummation of such transaction the Warrants shall automatically
become exercisable for the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets
which the holder of a Warrant would have owned immediately after the
consolidation, merger, transfer or lease if the holder had exercised the Warrant
immediately before the effective date of the transaction. Concurrently with the
consummation of such transaction, the corporation formed by or surviving any
such consolidation or merger if other than Holdings, or the person to which such
sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall enter into a supplemental Warrant
Agreement so providing and further providing for adjustments which shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this
Section 8.13. The successor company shall mail to Warrant holders a notice
describing the supplemental Warrant Agreement. If the issuer of securities
deliverable upon exercise of Warrants under the supplemental Warrant Agreement
is an affiliate of the formed, surviving, transferee or lessee corporation, that
issuer shall join in the supplemental Warrant Agreement. If this Section 8.13
applies, Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 hereof do not apply.

          8.14.   Holdings' Determination Final. Any determination that Holdings
or the Board of Directors make pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6,
8.7 or 8.8 hereof is conclusive.

          8.15.   Warrant Agent's Disclaimer. The Warrant Agent has no duty to
determine when an adjustment under this Section 8 should be made, how it should
be made or what it should be. The Warrant Agent has no duty to determine whether
any provisions of a supplemental Warrant Agreement under Section 8.13 hereof are
correct. The Warrant Agent makes no representation as to the validity or value
of any securities or assets issued upon exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent
shall not be responsible for Holdings' failure to comply with this Section 8.

          8.16.   When Issuance or Payment May Be Deferred. In any case in which
this Section 8 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price be made
effective as of a record date for a specified event, Holdings may elect to defer
until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the holder of any Warrant
exercised after such record date the Warrant Shares and other capital stock of
Holdings, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant Shares
and other capital stock of Holdings, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the
basis of the Exercise Price and (ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in
lieu of a fractional share pursuant to Section 9 hereof; provided that Holdings
shall

                                       18

<PAGE>

deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing
such holder's right to receive such additional Warrant Shares, other capital
stock and cash upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

          8.17.   Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 8, each Warrant outstanding prior to the
making of the adjustment in the Exercise Price shall thereafter evidence the
right to receive upon payment of the adjusted Exercise Price that number of
shares of Class A Common Stock (calculated to the nearest hundredth) obtained
from the following formula:

          N' = N x        E
                  ------------------
                          E'


where:

    N' =  the adjusted number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a
          Warrant by payment of the adjusted Exercise Price.

    N  =  the number or Warrant Shares previously issuable upon exercise of a
          Warrant by payment of the Exercise Price prior to adjustment.

    E' =  the adjusted Exercise Price.

    E  =  the Exercise Price prior to adjustment.

          8.18.   Form of Warrants. Irrespective of any adjustments in the
Exercise Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of
the Warrants, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express
the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrants
initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.  FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. Holdings shall not be required to
issue fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of Warrants. If more than one
Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same
holder, the number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the
exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of
Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any
fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 9,
be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof),
Holdings shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price on the day
immediately preceding the date the Warrant is presented for exercise, multiplied
by such fraction.

          SECTION 10. NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS. Upon any adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to Section 8, Holdings shall promptly thereafter (i)
cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent a certificate of a firm of independent
public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board of Directors
(who may be the regular auditors of Holdings) setting forth the Exercise Price
after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculations are based and setting
forth the number of Warrant Shares (or portion thereof) issuable after such
adjustment in the Exercise Price, upon exercise of a Warrant and payment of the
adjusted Exercise Price, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the
correctness of the matters set forth therein, and (ii) cause to be given to each
of the holders of the Warrants at his address appearing on the Warrant register
written notice of such adjustments by first-class mail, postage prepaid. Where
appropriate, such notice may be given in advance and included as a part of the
notice required to be mailed under the other provisions of this Section 10.

                                       19

          In case:

          (a)     Holdings shall authorize the issuance to all holders of any
class of Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock or of any other subscription rights or warrants;
or

          (b)     Holdings shall authorize the distribution to all holders of
any class of Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness or assets (other than
cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or
earned surplus or dividends payable in shares of Common Stock or distributions
referred to in Section 8.1 hereof); or

          (c)     of any consolidation or merger to which Holdings is a party
and for which approval of any shareholders of Holdings is required, or of the
conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of Holdings substantially as
an entirety, or of any reclassification or change of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par value, or from par value to
no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision
or combination), or a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock;
or

          (d)     of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of Holdings; or

          (e)     Holdings proposes to take any action (other than actions of
the character described in Section 8.1) which would require an adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to Section 8, then Holdings shall cause to be filed with
the Warrant Agent and shall cause to be given to each of the holders at his
address appearing on the Warrant register, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any
case specified in clauses (a) or (b) above) prior to the applicable record date
hereinafter specified, or promptly in the case of events for which there is no
record date, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice stating (i)
the date as of which the holders of record of shares of Common Stock to be
entitled to receive any such rights, options, warrants or distribution are to be
determined, or (ii) the initial expiration date set forth in any tender offer or
exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, or (iii) the date on which any such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up is expected to become effective or consummated, and the date as of which it
is expected that holders of record of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled
to exchange such shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable
upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

          Holdings shall cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent and shall
cause to be given to each of the holders at its address appearing on the Warrant
register a written notice of the existence, and any subsequent suspension or
termination, of a Registered Period.

          The failure to give any notice required by this Section 10 or any
defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any distribution,
right, option, warrant, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or the vote upon any action.

          Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the Warrant
Certificates shall be construed as conferring upon the holders thereof the right
to vote or to consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the
meetings of shareholders or the election of Directors of Holdings or any other
matter, or any rights whatsoever as shareholders of Holdings.

                                       20

          SECTION 11. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR CHANGE OF NAME OF WARRANT AGENT.
Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may
be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or association
succeeding to all or substantially all of the stock transfer business of the
Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment
as a successor warrant agent under the provisions of Section 13. In case at the
time such successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by
this Agreement, and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall
have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor to the Warrant
Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent; and in case
at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned,
any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates
either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the
successor to the Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates
shall have the full force and effect provided in the Warrant Certificates and in
this Agreement.

          In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and
at such time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but
not delivered, the Warrant Agent whose name has been changed may adopt the
countersignature under its prior name, and in case at that time any of the
Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may
countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed
name, and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force
and effect provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.

          SECTION 12. WARRANT AGENT. The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and
obligations explicitly imposed by this Agreement (and no implied duties or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Warrant Agent) upon
the following terms and conditions, by all of which Holdings and the holders of
Warrants, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound:

          (a)     The statements contained herein and in the Warrant
Certificates shall be taken as statements of Holdings and the Warrant Agent
assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any of the same except such as
describe the Warrant Agent or action taken or to be taken by it. The Warrant
Agent assumes no responsibility with respect to the distribution of the Warrant
Certificates except as herein otherwise provided.

          (b)     The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of
Holdings to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in
the Warrant Certificates to be complied with by Holdings.

          (c)     The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel
satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for Holdings) and the Warrant Agent shall
incur no liability or responsibility to Holdings or to any holder of any Warrant
Certificate in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in good faith and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such counsel.

          (d)     (i)    The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or
                         responsibility to Holdings or to any holder of any
                         Warrant Certificate for any action taken in reliance on
                         any Warrant Certificate, certificate of shares, notice,
                         resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or
                         other paper, document or instrument believed by it to
                         be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented
                         by the proper party or parties.

                                       21

<PAGE>

                  (ii)   No provision of this Agreement shall require the
                         Warrant Agent to expend or risk its own funds or
                         otherwise incur any financial liability in the
                         performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of
                         its rights hereunder if there shall be reasonable
                         grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
                         adequate indemnification against such risk or liability
                         is not reasonably assured to it.

                  (iii)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
                         contrary, in no event shall the Warrant Agent be liable
                         for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss
                         or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not
                         limited to, lost profits), even if the Warrant Agent
                         has been advised of the likelihood of the loss or
                         damage and regardless of the form of action.

                  (iv)   The provisions of this Section 12(d) shall survive the
                         expiration of the Warrants and the termination of this
                         Agreement.

          (e)     Holdings agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent such compensation
as shall be agreed to in writing between Holdings and the Warrant Agent for all
services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement, to
reimburse the Warrant Agent for all expenses, taxes and governmental charges and
other charges of any kind and nature incurred by the Warrant Agent in the
execution of this Agreement and to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it
harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and
reasonable counsel fees and expenses, for anything done or omitted by the
Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement except as a result of its gross
negligence or bad faith. The provisions of this Section 12(e) shall survive the
expiration of the Warrants and the termination of this Agreement.

          (f)     Holdings shall indemnify the Warrant Agent against any and all
losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Warrant
Agreement, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Warrant Agreement
against Holdings (including this Section 12(f)) and defending itself against any
claim (whether asserted by Holdings or any holder or any other person) or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may
be attributable to its gross negligence or bad faith. The Warrant Agent shall
notify Holdings promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure
by the Warrant Agent to so notify Holdings shall not relieve Holdings of its
obligations hereunder. Holdings shall defend the claim and the Warrant Agent
shall cooperate in the defense. The Warrant Agent may have separate counsel and
Holdings shall pay for reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Holdings
need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. All rights of action under this Agreement or under
any of the Warrants may be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession
of any of the Warrant Certificates or the production thereof at any trial or
other proceeding relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding
instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent
and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the registered
holders of the Warrants, as their respective rights or interests may appear. The
provisions of this Section 12(f) shall survive the expiration of the Warrants
and the termination of this Agreement.

          (g)     The Warrant Agent, and any stockholder, director, officer or
employee of it, may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities
of Holdings or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which
Holdings may be interested, or contract with or lend money to Holdings or
otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this
Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any
other capacity for Holdings or for any other legal entity.

                                       22

<PAGE>

          (h)     The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent for
Holdings, and its duties shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof.
The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for anything which it may do or refrain
from doing in connection with this Agreement except for its own gross negligence
or bad faith.

          (i)     The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any holder of any Warrant Certificate to make or cause to be
made any adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of the Warrant Shares or
other securities or property deliverable as provided in this Agreement, or to
determine whether any facts exist which may require any of such adjustments, or
with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustments, when made, or with
respect to the method employed in making the same. The Warrant Agent shall not
be accountable with respect to the validity or value or the kind or amount of
any Warrant Shares or of any securities or property which may at any time be
issued or delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant or with respect to whether
any such Warrant Shares or other securities will when issued be validly issued
and fully paid and non-assessable, and makes no representation with respect
thereto.

          (j)     The Warrant Agent may assume that any Warrant exercised is
permitted to be exercised under applicable law and shall have no liability for
acting in reliance upon such assumption; provided, however, that the Warrant
Agent may not accept payment of the Exercise Price in cash, by wire transfer or
by certified or official bank check payable to the order of Holdings unless the
Warrant Agent shall have received written notice from Holdings pursuant to
Section 4.2 hereof that a Registered Period is in existence.

          SECTION 13. CHANGE OF WARRANT AGENT.

          The Warrant Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under
this Agreement by giving to Holdings written notice of its intention to resign
30 days in advance of the intended effective date of such resignation. The
Warrant Agent may be removed by like notice to the Warrant Agent from Holdings,
such notice to specify the date on which the removal is to be effected. If the
Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or otherwise become incapable of acting
as Warrant Agent, Holdings shall appoint a successor to such Warrant Agent. If
Holdings shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after
such removal or it has been notified in writing of such resignation or
incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the registered holder of a Warrant
Certificate, then the registered holder of any Warrant Certificate or, in the
case of any such resignation or incapacity, the Warrant Agent, may, at the
expense of Holdings, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent,
whether appointed by Holdings or any such court, shall be a bank or trust
company, in good standing, incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America or any state thereof and having at the time of its appointment as
Warrant Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Pending
appointment of a successor to such Warrant Agent, either by Holdings or by such
a court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by Holdings. The
holders of a majority of the unexercised Warrants shall be entitled at any time
to remove the Warrant Agent and appoint a successor to such Warrant Agent. Such
successor to the Warrant Agent need not be approved by Holdings or the former
Warrant Agent. After appointment the successor to the Warrant Agent shall be
vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had
been originally named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed; but the
former Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor to the Warrant
Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder and execute and deliver any
further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Failure to
give any notice provided for in this Section 13, however, or any defect therein,
shall not affect the legality or validity of the appointment of a successor to
the Warrant Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent shall mail, by first class mail,
postage prepaid, to each registered holder of a Warrant Certificate at his
address appearing on the Warrant register written notice of its succession as
Warrant Agent.

                                       23

<PAGE>

          SECTION 14. REGISTRATION. Holders shall be able to exercise their
Warrants only if a registration statement relating to the Warrant Shares is then
in effect, or the exercise of such Warrants is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and such securities are qualified for sale
or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of the states
in which the various holders of the Warrants or other persons to whom it is
proposed that the Warrant Shares be issued on exercise of the Warrants reside.

          SECTION 15. REPORTS.

          (a)     Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the
Commission, so long as any Warrants are outstanding, Holdings shall furnish to
the Warrant Agent and the holders of Warrants (i) 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 Holdings 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 thereon by Holdings' certified independent accountants and (ii) all
current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form
8-K if Holdings were required to file such reports. In addition, whether or not
required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, Holdings shall file a
copy of all such information and reports with the Commission for public
availability (unless the Commission shall not accept such a filing) and make
such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon
request.

          (b)     Holdings shall provide the Warrant Agent with a sufficient
number of copies of all such reports that the Warrant Agent may be required to
deliver to the holders of the Warrants under this Section 15.

          SECTION 16. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          (a)     Shelf Registration.

                  (1)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Holdings will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (i) prepare and file
with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable
Securities on Form S-3 or other appropriate form within 90 days after the date
hereof, (ii) cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by
the Commission within 180 days from the date hereof and (iii) keep effective
such Shelf Registration Statement until the earlier of the second anniversary of
the date on which such Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the
Commission or such time as all Warrants have been exercised and all Warrant
Shares have been issued in respect thereof.

                  (2)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
Holdings may delay the effectiveness of any registration statement, or suspend
offers and sales under any effective registration statement, at any time and for
any period (any of the foregoing, a "Black Out Period"), if (i) such action is
required by applicable law, (ii) the effectiveness of any registration statement
or the continuation of offers and sales under any effective registration
statement would require Holdings to disclose a material financing, acquisition
or other transaction, and the Board of Directors (or where due to the nature of
the circumstances, timely consultation with the Board of Directors is not, in
the good faith determination of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive
Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of Holdings, possible, then such officer)
shall have determined in good faith that such disclosure is not in the best
interests of Holdings and the holders of its outstanding Class A Common Stock,
or (iii) the Board of Directors (or where due to the nature of the

good faith that there is a valid business purpose or reason for such delay or

become effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such
registration statement has been filed;

notify the holders, of any request by the Commission for the amending or
supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or for additional
information;

<PAGE>

                  (10)   prepare and file with the Commission and promptly
notify the Warrant Agent, who shall in turn promptly notify the holders, of the
filing of such amendment or supplement to such registration statement or
prospectus as may, in the reasonable judgment of Holdings, be necessary or
advisable; and

                  (11)   advise the Warrant Agent, who shall in turn promptly
advise the holders, promptly after it shall receive notice of the issuance of
any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such

          In case Holdings shall fail to maintain such office or agency or shall
fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location
thereof, presentations may be made and notices and demands may be served at the
principal office of the Warrant Agent.

          Any notice pursuant to this Agreement to be given by Holdings or by

or supplement the Warrant

<PAGE>

Agreement for certain purposes, including curing defects or inconsistencies or
making changes that do not materially adversely affect the rights of any holder.
Any amendment or supplement to the Warrant Agreement that has a material adverse
effect on the interests of the holders of the Warrants requires the written
consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Warrants. The
consent of each holder of the Warrants is required for any amendment pursuant to
which the Exercise Price would be increased or the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon exercise of Warrants would be decreased (other than pursuant to
adjustments provided for in the Warrant Agreement as generally described above).
Upon the delivery of a certificate from an Officer of Holdings which states that
the proposed supplement or amendment is in compliance with the terms of this
Section 18, the Warrant Agent shall execute such supplement or amendment.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Warrant Agent's consent must be
obtained regarding any amendment or supplement pursuant to this Section 18 which
alters the Warrant Agent's duties hereunder.

          SECTION 19. SUCCESSORS. All the covenants and provisions of this
Agreement by or for the benefit of Holdings or the Warrant Agent shall bind and
inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder.

          SECTION 20. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time on December 31, 2009. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement will terminate on any earlier date if all Warrants have been
exercised. The provisions of Section 12 shall survive such termination.

          SECTION 21. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and each Warrant Certificate
issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the
State of New York and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the
internal laws of said State. The parties hereto hereby waive the right to a jury
trial in any action arising out of this Agreement. Any dispute arising out of
this Agreement shall be litigated in the borough of Manhattan, New York City,
New York, and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and
acknowledge that such courts are a convenient forum.

          SECTION 22. BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than Holdings, the
Warrant Agent and the holders any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Agreement; but this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive
benefit of Holdings, the Warrant Agent and the holders.

          SECTION 23. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to
be an original, and both such counterparts shall together constitute but one and
the same instrument.

          NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISIONS OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT
TO THE CONTRARY, IN THE EVENT THAT THE CONSENT OF THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION ("FCC") TO THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT IS REQUIRED TO BE OBTAINED
PRIOR TO SUCH EXERCISE, THIS WARRANT SHALL NOT BE EXERCISABLE UNLESS AND UNTIL

          NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISIONS OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT

WARRANT SHALL NOT BE EXERCISABLE IN THE EVENT THAT SUCH EXERCISE WOULD CAUSE THE
AGGREGATE ALIEN OWNERSHIP OR VOTING INTEREST IN HOLDINGS TO INCREASE TO ANY
LEVEL ABOVE 24.5%, AS DETERMINED BY APPLICABLE FCC RULES, REGULATIONS, AND
POLICIES, IT BEING WELL UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WARRANT SHALL NOT BE EXERCISABLE IN
THE EVENT THAT SUCH ALIEN OWNERSHIP OR VOTING INTEREST ALREADY EXCEEDS 24.5%, IT
BEING FURTHER UNDERSTOOD THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL HOLDINGS BE REQUIRED HEREUNDER
TO SEEK FCC CONSENT TO EXCEED FCC ALIEN OWNERSHIP OR VOTING LIMITATIONS

                        XM SATELLITE RADIO HOLDINGS INC.

          This Warrant Certificate certifies that ______________, or registered
assigns, is the registered holder of Warrants expiring December 31, 2009 (the
"Warrants") to purchase Class A Common Stock. Each Warrant entitles the holder

p.m. New York City time on December 31, 2009, the number of fully paid and
nonassessable Warrant Shares as set forth in the Warrant Agreement, subject to
adjustment as set forth in Section 8 of the Warrant Agreement, at the initial
exercise price (the "Exercise Price") of $3.18 per share payable upon surrender
of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price at the office or
agency of the Warrant Agent, but only subject to the conditions set forth herein
and in the Warrant Agreement referred to on the reverse hereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Warrants may be exercised without the exchange of funds pursuant
to the cashless exercise provisions of Section 4 of the Warrant Agreement. The
Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set
forth in the Warrant Agreement. No Warrant may be exercised after 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on December 31, 2009, and to the extent not exercised by such
time such Warrants shall become void. Reference is hereby made to the further
provisions of this Warrant Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof and such
further

                        [Reverse of Warrant Certificate]

          The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly
authorized issue of Warrants expiring December 31, 2009 on exercise to receive
shares of Class A Common Stock, and are issued or to be issued pursuant to a
Warrant Agreement dated as of January __, 2003 (the "Warrant Agreement"), duly
executed and delivered by Holdings to The Bank of New York, as warrant agent
(the "Warrant Agent"), which Warrant Agreement (including the definitions set
forth therein) is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this
instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation
of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent,
Holdings and the holders (the words "holders" or "holder" meaning the registered
holders or registered holder) of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement
may be obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to Holdings.

          Warrants may be exercised at any time on or before December 31, 2009;
provided that holders shall be required to make payment of the Exercise Price
upon exercise of their Warrants only by means of a Cashless Exercise (as defined
in Section 4.3 of the Warrant Agreement) unless a registration statement
relating to the Warrant Shares is then in effect under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the making of offers and sales of
the Warrant Shares thereunder has not been suspended or terminated in accordance
with the provisions of Section 16 of the Warrant Agreement (the periods in which
such conditions are met being referred to herein as "Registered Periods"). In
order to exercise all or any of the Warrants represented by this Warrant
Certificate, (i) in the case of Definitive Warrants, the holder must surrender
for exercise this Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent at its New York
corporate trust office set forth in Section 17 of the Warrant Agreement, (ii) in
the case of a book-entry interest in a Global Warrant, the exercising
Participant whose name appears on a securities position listing of the
Depositary as the holder of such book-entry interest must comply with the
Depositary's procedures relating to the exercise of such book-entry interest in
such Global Warrant and (iii) in the case of both Global Warrants and Definitive
Warrants, the holder thereof or the Participant, as applicable, must deliver to
the Warrant Agent the form of election to purchase on the reverse hereof duly
filled in and signed, which signature shall be a medallion guaranteed by an
institution which is a member of a Securities Transfer Association recognized
signature guarantee program, and upon payment to the Warrant Agent for the
account of Holdings of the Exercise Price, as adjusted as provided in the
Warrant Agreement, for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such
Warrants are then exercised. No adjustment shall be made for any dividends on
any Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

          The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain
events the Exercise Price set forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain
conditions, be adjusted. If the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Warrant
Agreement provides that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted. No fractions of a share of
Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, but Holdings will
pay the cash value thereof determined as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

          Holdings has agreed to use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts
(subject to Black Out Periods) to (i) file within 90 days after the date of the
Warrant Agreement a Shelf Registration Statement on an appropriate form under
the Securities Act covering the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the
Warrants, (ii) make the Shelf Registration Statement effective no later than 180
days after the date of the Warrant Agreement, and (iii) keep the Shelf
Registration Statement effective until the earlier of the second anniversary of
the date on which such Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the

                                       A-3

<PAGE>

Commission or such time as all Warrants have been exercised and all Warrant
Shares have been issued in respect thereof.

          Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the office of the Warrant
Agent by the registered holder thereof in person or by legal representative or
attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject
to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any
service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like
tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.

          Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant
Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number
of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant
Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement,
without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in
connection therewith.

          Holdings and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered
holder(s) thereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate
(notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by
anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the
holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither Holdings nor the
Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the
Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles any holder hereof to any rights
of a stockholder of Holdings.
