provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes; reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or

waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to
waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or interest on the Notes; waive a redemption payment or mandatory redemption with respect to any Note;

the Notes or the Guarantees or any amended or supplemental indenture may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; to provide for uncertificated Notes or Guarantees in
addition to or in place of certificated Notes or Guarantees; to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Issuers or any Guarantor to the Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or
consolidation pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10 of the Indenture; to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder; or to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under
the Trust Indenture Act.

12.Defaults and Remedies.Each of the following constitutes an Event of Default:



---





If
an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to an Issuer specified in clause (i) or (j) above) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the
Issuers, or the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount then outstanding of the Notes by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, may declare all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) above with respect to an Issuer, all outstanding Notes shall become
and immediately be due and payable without further action or notice. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may withhold from
Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding
notice is in such Holders' interest.

The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all the Holders rescind an acceleration and its
consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely
because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or
premium on, or principal of, the Notes.

The
Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuers are required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event
of Default to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

All
powers of the Trustee under the Indenture will be subject to applicable provisions of the Communications Act, including, without limitation, the requirements of prior approval for de factoorde juretransfer of control or assignment of Title III licenses.

13.Trustee Dealings with Issuers.The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may
make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuers or their Subsidiaries, and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Subsidiaries, as if it were not Trustee;

---



however,
if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee or resign.

14.No Personal Liabilities of Directors, Owners, Employees, Incorporators and Stockholders.No director, owner,
officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuers, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers, the Guarantors or any of
their Affiliates under this Note, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a
Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

15.Guarantees.Payment of principal and interest (including interest on overdue principal and overdue interest,
if lawful) is unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Guarantors.

16.Authentication.This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or
an authenticating agent.

17.Abbreviations.Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note or an assignee, such as
TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (5 Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts
to Minors Act).

18.CUSIP Numbers.Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Note Identification
Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of Notes. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
placed thereon.

The
