of the Company, the Guarantors, or any of their respective subsidiaries has
received any notice of infringement or conflict with asserted Intellectual
Property Rights of others, which infringement or conflict, if the subject of an
unfavorable decision, would result in a Material Adverse Change.

television broadcasting industry in general.

          (iv)  All reports, applications and other documents required to be
filed by the Company or any such Guarantor with the FCC with respect to the
Stations have been timely filed, and all such reports, applications and

          -------------------
respective subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all the properties and
assets reflected as owned in the financial statements referred to in Section 1
above, in each case free and clear of any security interests, mortgages, liens,
encumbrances, equities, claims and other defects, except such as do not
materially and adversely affect the value of such property and do not materially
interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the
Company, such Guarantor or such subsidiary. The real property, improvements,
equipment and personal property held under lease by the Company, Guarantors or
any of their respective subsidiaries are held under valid and enforceable

not limited to, policies covering real and personal property owned or leased by
the Company, the Guarantors and their respective subsidiaries against theft,
damage, destruction, acts of vandalism and earthquakes.  The Company and
Guarantors have no reason to believe that it or any of their respective
subsidiaries will not be able  (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as
and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar
institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now
conducted and at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change.
None of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries has
been denied any insurance coverage that it has sought or for which it has
applied.

     (y)  No Price Stabilization or Manipulation.  The Company has not taken and
          --------------------------------------

<PAGE>

interpretations thereunder (collectively, "ERISA")) established or maintained by
                                           -----
the Company, the Guarantors or their respective subsidiaries or their "ERISA
                                                                       -----
Affiliates" (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with
----------
ERISA. "ERISA Affiliate" means, with respect to the Company, any Guarantor or
any of their respective subsidiaries, any member of any group of organizations
described in Sections 414, , or of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the
"Code") of which the Company, such Guarantor or such subsidiary is a member. No
 ----
"reportable event" (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur with respect to any "employee benefit plan" established or
maintained by the Company, the Guarantors or their respective subsidiaries or
any of their ERISA Affiliates. No "employee benefit plan" established or
maintained by the Company, the Guarantors, their respective subsidiaries or any
of their ERISA Affiliates, if such "employee benefit plan" were terminated,
would have any "amount of unfunded benefit liabilities" (as defined under
ERISA). None of the Company, the Guarantors, their respective subsidiaries or
any of their ERISA Affiliates have incurred or reasonably expect to incur any
liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal
from, any "employee benefit plan" or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of
the Code. Each "employee benefit plan" established or maintained by the Company,
the Guarantors, their respective subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates
that is intended to be qualified under Section 401 of the Code is so qualified
and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause
the loss of such qualification.

     (bb) No Default in Senior Indebtedness.  No event of default exists under
          ---------------------------------
any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other
agreement or instrument constituting Senior Debt (as defined in the Indenture).

     (cc) Compliance with Regulations S.  The Company, the Guarantors, their
          -----------------------------
respective affiliates and all persons acting on their behalf (other than the
Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company and the Guarantors make no
representation) have complied with and will comply with the offering
restrictions requirements of Regulation S in connection with the offering of the
Securities outside the United States and, in connection therewith, the Offering
Memorandum will contain the disclosure required by Rule 902.

     (dd) Temporary Regulations S Global Note.  The Securities sold in
          -----------------------------------
reliance on Regulation S will be represented upon issuance by a temporary global
security that may not be exchanged for definitive securities until the
expiration of the 40-day restricted period referred to in Rule 903 of the
Securities Act and only upon certification of beneficial ownership of such
Securities by non-U.S. persons or U.S. persons who purchased such Securities in
transactions that were exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.

amendment or supplement to which the Initial Purchasers reasonably object.

      (b)  Amendments and Supplements to the Offering Memorandum and Other
           ---------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------
Securities by the Initial Purchasers with the Subsequent Purchasers, any event

supplement the Offering Memorandum in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances when the Offering Memorandum is delivered to a

SECTION 7. Offer, Sale and Resale Procedures. Each of the Initial Purchasers,
           ---------------------------------

made to persons whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes to be qualified
institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or non-
U.S. persons outside the United States to whom the offeror or seller reasonably
believes offers and sales of the Securities may be made in reliance upon
Regulation S under the Securities Act, upon the terms and conditions set forth

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

           (B) The Securities will be offered by approaching prospective
Subsequent Purchasers on an individual basis. No general solicitation or general
advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act) will be
used in the United States in connection with the offering of the Securities.

           (C) Upon original issuance by the Company, and until such time as the
same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities
Act, the Securities (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in
substitution thereof, other than the Exchange Securities) shall bear the
following legend:

"THE SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) EVIDENCED HEREBY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A
TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SECTION 5 OF THE UNITED STATES
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND THE SECURITY
EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE
ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH
PURCHASER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER

QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT)

"ACCREDITED INVESTOR" (AS DEFINE DIN RULE 501(a)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) OF THE
SECURITIES ACT (AN "INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR")) THAT, PRIOR TO SUCH
TRANSFER, FURNISHES THE TRUSTEE A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN
REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS (THE FORM OF WHICH CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE
TRUSTEE) AND, IF SUCH TRANSFER IS IN RESPECT OF AN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF
NOTES LESS THAN $250,000, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUE THAT
SUCH TRANSFER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (e) IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT
(AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF THE ISSUER SO REQUESTS), (ii) TO THE
ISSUER, OR (iii) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND, IN EACH
CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE
UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND
EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER FROM IT OF THE
SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN (A) ABOVE."

           Following the sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers to
Subsequent Purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof, the Initial Purchasers shall
not be liable or responsible to the Company for any losses, damages or
liabilities suffered or incurred by the Company, including any losses, damages
or liabilities under the Securities Act, arising from or relating to any resale
or transfer of any Security by non-Affiliates of the Initial Purchasers.

SECTION 8. Indemnification.
           ---------------

      (a)  Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. The Company and the
           -----------------------------------------
Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each
Initial Purchaser, its directors, officers and employees, and each person, if
any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as
incurred, to which such Initial Purchaser or such controlling person may become
subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state
statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in
settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written
consent of the Company), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or
is based (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum
(or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission
therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or
(ii) in whole or in part upon any failure of the Company or the Guarantors to
perform its obligations hereunder or under law; or (iii) any act or failure to
act or any alleged act or failure to act by any Initial Purchaser in connection
with, or relating in any manner to, the offering contemplated hereby, and which
is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or
action arising out of or based upon any matter covered by clause above, provided
that the Company and the Guarantors shall not be liable under this clause (iii)
to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a
final judgment that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted
directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken
by such Initial Purchaser through its gross negligence or willful misconduct;
and to reimburse each Initial Purchaser and each such controlling person for
reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel

                                       18
<PAGE>

chosen by Banc of America Securities LLC) as such expenses are reasonably
incurred by such Initial Purchaser or such controlling person in connection with
investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing
indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by the Initial Purchasers for use in any Preliminary Offering
Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8 shall be in addition to any
liabilities that the Company or the Guarantors may otherwise have.

      (b)  Indemnification of the Company, the Guarantors, their Directors and
           -------------------------------------------------------------------
Officers. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify
--------
and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors and each of their respective
directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Guarantors
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company or any
such director, or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or
at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such
settlement is effected with the written consent of such Initial Purchaser),
insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect
thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary
Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement
thereto), or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the
Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the
Initial Purchasers expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, any
such Guarantor, or any such director or controlling person for any legal and
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, any such Guarantor or any
such director or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending,
settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
expense or action. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information
that the Initial Purchasers have furnished to the Company expressly for use in
any Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment
or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth as the sixth paragraph on
page ii of the Offering Memorandum concerning stabilization by the Initial
Purchasers and in the last sentence of the third paragraph, the second sentence
of the fourth paragraph and in the fifth paragraph under the caption "Plan of
Distribution" in the Offering Memorandum; and the Initial Purchasers confirm
that such statements are correct. The indemnity agreement set forth in this
Section 8 shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Initial Purchaser
may otherwise have.

      (c)  Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after
           --------------------------------------------------
receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify
the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission
so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which
it may have to any indemnified party for

                                       19
<PAGE>

contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 8 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a proximate result of such
failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and
such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying
party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the
extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties
similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party
promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action
include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise
between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in
conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses
available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party
or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal
defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of
such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party's election so to
assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of
counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless the
indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the
proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one
separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the indemnifying
party (Banc of America Securities LLC in the case of Section 8 and Section 9),
representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time
after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and
expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

      (d)  Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be
           -----------
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party
against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time
an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the
indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8
hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement
of any proceeding effected without its written consent if such settlement is
entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry
of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect
of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was
or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such action, suit or proceeding.

SECTION 9. Contribution.
           ------------

                                       20
<PAGE>

          If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason
held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as
a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to
therein in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company or the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial
Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to
this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause above is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause above but also the relative
fault of the Company or the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial
Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or
inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company or
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in
connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall
be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds
from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting
expenses) received by the Company, and the total discount received by the
Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the
Securities. The relative fault of the Company or the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact or any such inaccurate or alleged inaccurate representation or warranty
relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantors, on the one
hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission.

          The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8, any legal or other
fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in
Section 8 with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a
claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided, however,
that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which
notice has been given under Section 8 for purposes of indemnification.

          The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for
such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.

          Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Initial Purchaser
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount received by
such Initial Purchaser in connection with the Securities distributed by it.  No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11
of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The Initial Purchasers'
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and not joint,
in proportion to their respective commitments as set forth opposite their names
in Schedule I.  For purposes of this
   ----------

                                       21
<PAGE>

Section 9, each director, officer and employee of an Initial Purchaser and each
person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution
as such Initial Purchaser, and each director of the Company, and each person, if
any, who controls the Company and each Guarantor with the meaning of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution
as the Company and each Guarantor.

SECTION 10.  Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this
             -----------------------------
Agreement may be terminated by the Initial Purchasers by notice given to the
Company if at any time (i) trading in securities generally on either the Nasdaq
Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited
or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any such
stock exchanges by the Commission or the NASD; (ii) a general banking moratorium
shall have been declared by any of federal, New York, Delaware or California
authorities; (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of
national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change
in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial
change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United
States' or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the
reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchasers is material and adverse and makes
it impracticable to market the Securities in the manner and on the terms
described in the Offering Memorandum or to enforce contracts for the sale of
securities; (iv) in the reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchasers there
shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change; or the Company, the Guarantors
or their respective subsidiaries shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire,
flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character as in the
reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchasers may interfere materially with the
conduct of the business and operations of the Company, the Guarantors or their
respective subsidiaries regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been
insured. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability
on the part of the Company and the Guarantors to any Initial Purchaser, except
that the Company and the Guarantors shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses
of the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 4 and, in the case of clause (iv)
above, Section 6 hereof, any Initial Purchaser to the Company, or of any party
hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8 and Section 9
shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

SECTION 11.  Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective
             ---------------------------------------------------
indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the
Company and the Guarantors, of their respective officers and of the several
Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain
in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf
of any Initial Purchaser, the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective
partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be,
and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and
any termination of this Agreement.

             ------------------------
Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity

changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and
enforceable.

SECTION 15.  Governing Law Provisions. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
             ------------------------
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE.

SECTION 16.  Consent to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding
             -----------------------
arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby ("Related Proceedings") may be instituted in the federal courts of the
         -------------------
United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the
courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of
New York (collectively, the "Specified Courts"), and each party irrevocably
                             ----------------
submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction (except for proceedings instituted in
regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any such court (a "Related
                                                              -------
Judgment"), as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of such courts in
--------
any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or
document by mail to such party's address set forth above shall be effective
service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such
court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the
laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts
and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any
such court that any such suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such
court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 17.  Default of One or More of the Several Initial Purchasers. If any
             --------------------------------------------------------
one or more of the several Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase
Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the Closing
Date, and the aggregate number of Securities which such defaulting Initial
Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase does
not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Securities to be purchased on such
date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the
proportions that the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective
names on Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Securities set forth
         ----------
opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such
other proportions as may be specified by the Initial Purchasers with the consent
of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Securities which such
defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused
to purchase on such date. If any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall
fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate number of Securities
with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of
Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to
the Initial Purchasers and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are
not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate
without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of
Section 4, Section 8 and Section 9 shall at all times be effective and

                                       24
<PAGE>

shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Initial Purchasers
or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, as the case
may be, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required
changes, if any, to the Offering Memorandum or any other documents or
arrangements may be effected.

          As used in this Agreement, the term "Initial Purchaser" shall be
deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Initial Purchaser
under this Section 10. Any action taken under this Section 16 shall not relieve
any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of
such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

SECTION 18.  General Provisions. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
             ------------------
of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and
all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with
respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with the same effect
as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This
Agreement may not be amended or modified unless in writing by all of the parties
hereto, and no condition herein (express or implied) may be waived unless waived
in writing by each party whom the condition is meant to benefit. The Table of
Contents and the section headings herein are for the convenience of the parties
only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

          If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our
agreement, kindly sign and return to the Company the enclosed copies hereof,

                                    ANNEX I

          Resale Pursuant to Regulation S or Rule 144A.  Each Initial Purchaser
     understands that:

          Such Initial Purchaser agrees that it has not offered or sold and will
not offer or sell the Securities in the United States or to, or for the benefit
or account of, a U.S. Person (other than a distributor), in each case, as
defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act as part of its distribution at any
time and (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the
offering of the Securities pursuant hereto and the Closing Date, other than in
accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act or another exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. Such Initial Purchaser agrees
that, during such 40-day restricted period, it will not cause any advertisement
with respect to the Securities (including any "tombstone" advertisement) to be
published in any newspaper or periodical or posted in any public place and will
not issue any circular relating to the Securities, except such advertisements as
permitted by and include the statements required by Regulation S.

          Such Initial Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to confirmation of a
sale of Securities by it to any distributor, dealer or person receiving a
selling concession, fee or other remuneration during the 40-day restricted
period referred to in Rule 903 under the Securities Act, it will send to such
distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other
remuneration a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

          "The Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S.
     Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be
                                              --------------
     offered and sold within the United States or to, or for the account or
     benefit of, U.S. persons  as part of your distribution at any time or (ii)
     otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the Offering
     and the Closing Date, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S
     under the Securities Act (or Rule 144A or to Accredited Institutions in
     transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the
     Securities Act), and in connection with any subsequent sale by you of the
     Notes covered hereby in reliance on Regulation S during the period referred
     to above to any distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling
     concession, fee or other remuneration, you must deliver a notice to
     substantially the foregoing effect.  Terms used above have the meanings
     assigned to them in Regulation S."

          Such Initial Purchaser agrees that the Securities offered and sold in
reliance on Regulation S will be represented upon issuance by a global security
that may not be exchanged for definitive securities until the expiration of the
40-day restricted period referred to in Rule 903 of the Securities Act and only
upon certification of beneficial ownership of such Securities by non-U.S.
persons or U.S. persons who purchased such Securities in transactions that were
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
